Alongside firecrackers, grills and energetic standards, U.S. natives are planning for another longstanding national convention on the nation's 241st birthday: eating much excessively numerous franks.

For ten minutes, over a million watchers will watch around 20 candidates stuff their appearances for the yearly Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Brooklyn's Coney Island. The renowned worldwide rivalry has occurred for more than 100 years and draws a blend of regulars and newcomers, all competing for the pined for mustard yellow belt, which is of "obscure age and esteem," agreeing George Shea, fellow benefactor of occasion support Major League Eating. The challenge has both male and female divisions, both of which assert their own superstar aggressive eaters. In the current year's men's segment Joey Chestnut will protect his title and, for the women's, Miki Sudo will contend after three back to back wins.

Stevie Ryan Dies: YouTube & VH1 Star Was 33

Web star and TV character Stevie Ryan, best known for YouTube channel and VH1 comic drama arrangement Stevie TV, was discovered dead Saturday at her place of living arrangement in what the L.A. Province Coroner's Office has administered as a suicide by hanging. She was 33.

Ryan’s big break came with her YouTube series Little Loca and accumulated millions of viewers with her celebrity impressions. She went on to star in her own sketch comedy series Stevie TV and she co-hosted the short-lived Sex with Brody talk show on E! with Brody Jenner and relationship therapist Dr. Mike Dow.

The news of Ryan’s passing comes days after the actress revealed on her Mentally Ch(ill) podcast, which is said to be about depression, that her grandfather had died recently, also taking to social media to lament.

The same podcast also touched on how the loss of a loved one could affect depression. Ryan‘s Mentally Ch(ill) co-host Kristen Carney took to Twitter on Monday, writing “RIP @StevieRyan The coolest girl I’ve ever known.”

NBA Free Agency 2017: Phoenix Suns expected to strongly pursue Paul Millsap, per report

A report from David Aldridge, the Phoenix Suns are relied upon to meet with Atlanta Hawks free specialist control forward Paul Millsap and make him an extensive offer in free office. Their first decision was Clippers' free specialist Blake Griffin, however Griffin consented to re-sign with Los Angeles prior today around evening time on a maximum contract more than five years.

Millsap now has one less contender on the board for groups' cash without losing any potential suitors, as Los Angeles couldn't have offered Millsap a similar max contract they provided for Griffin. Phoenix, subsequent to being spurned by LaMarcus Aldridge in free office two years prior, have been searching for a veteran power forward to take their young center to the following level. Millsap doesn't exactly fit the Suns' course of events and they as of now have different players at his position, however that hasn't discouraged Phoenix general director Ryan McDonough from reliably seeking after him.

Paul Millsap will more likely than not order a maximum contract from a group out there, regardless of whether it's the Suns, Denver Nuggets, or the alternative to remain in Atlanta. No group has snatched the reins in the Millsap sweepstakes yet, as a few groups will have gatherings with him this end of the week.

Katy Perry brings dancing Donald Trump and Theresa May skeleton effigies on stage as dancer falls off stage in house costume

Katy Perry's reinvention as a politically-aware artist continued apace at the Brit Awards, as the star performed alongside two huge dancing skeletons seemingly dressed as Donald Trump and Theresa May.

Performing current single Chained To The Rhythm, Perry took to the stage along with scores of dancers dressed as white houses (White Houses?) while the two skeletons shuffled in suitably sinister fashion.

The point of the stage dressing might not have been entirely clear – and Perry refrained from saying anything overtly political – but the performance prompted huge excitement among viewers on social media:

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that one of the dancers dressed as a house seemed to have trouble seeing where he or she was going – and unfortunately fell of the stage:Viewers were quick to dub the poorly balanced dancer the "new Left Shark", after one of Perry's dancers from her 2015 Super Bowl performance famously forgot their moves while dressed as a shark, and became an internet sensation in the process.

Perry has been vocal about the political message of “Chained to the Rhythm”. “We gonna call this era Purposeful Pop,” she tweeted. The lyrics of the song include “so comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble / so comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble.”

She further hammered the point home earlier this week with the release of the video for Chained to the Rhythm, which features similar houses to those worn by dancers during her Brit Awards performance being hoisted into the air by a fairground ride.
