"She approached me at aGQparty or something and said, 'You don't remember this, but you took your sister and some of her friends out to…' — I think it was called Bennigan's," Marsden said, recalling the moment when Munn, 45, revealed they technically already knew each other.

"It was like a chain restaurant," he continued. "[And Munn said], 'And I was one of your sister's friends.' And then the next thing's history. She's a movie star."

Virginia fired Amaka Agugua-Hamilton as head coach of the women's basketball program on Saturday.

NCAA Virginia TCU Basketball

Agugua-Hamilton led the Cavaliers to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2000. She went 70-58, including a 29-42 mark in ACC play.

Virginia became the first double-digit seed to reach the regional semifinals since 2022 and pulled off the upset of the tournament,knocking off No. 2 seed Iowaon the road in double overtime in the second round.

They became the first First Four team to advance this farbefore falling to TCU.

"I thought we had some really good moments in that game," Agugua-Hamilton said after that loss. "But the third quarter got away from us. ... We came up short, but that doesn't take away from our season or the growth we've had with our program."

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, who starred at Virginia as a player, said she had just heard about the coaching change.

"I did reach out to our athletic director at Virginia and she just told me they did part ways. I don't know why. We'll talk," Staley said. "I did reach out to coach Mox to check on her. I didn't have time to have a conversation with her. I don't know what went wrong. She had them on the right track."

Staley said she hopes Virginia gets it together.

"We got a deeply rich tradition at UVA on this stage and we hope to get our team back there one day sooner than later," Staley said of her alma mater.

Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' cuts out in Artemis II wakeup call

Chappell Roan's music has reached new highs.

While the "Hot To Go!" singer may not have flown to space likeKaty Perrydid last year, her hit track "Pink Pony Club" has made its way onto theArtemis II mission around the moonas an alarm sound to the crew on Saturday, April 4.

DuringNASA's Saturday livestream of the lunar mission, flight controllers used Roan's 2023 pop anthem to wake up the astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft. However, to their disappointment, the track was cut just a minute in.

"We were all eagerly awaiting the chorus," Commander Reid Wiseman said, prompting laughter heard in the livestream.

The Capsule Communicator is heard replying and promising to "try again next time" before wishing the team a good morning and giving the rundown for the day.

Wiseman is one of four astronauts who left Earth's orbit April 2 on a historic mission to see parts of the moon that nobody has ever seen before. During a roughly six-hour window on April 6, the team will see the far side of the moon not viewable from Earth. The sun, moon and the Orion spacecraft will be aligned, allowing them to view about 20% of the far side of the moon, lit by the sun, according to NASA.

The crew also consists of Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who lifted off from a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT on April 1.

NASA spaceplay comes afterChappell Roanfaced backlash

Chappell Roan's cultural impact around the world, and in space, remains intact after she faced scrutiny for an incident involving a bodyguard and soccer starJorginho Frello.

On March 21, Frello accused Roan's security of making his 11-year-old daughter cry when she encountered the singer at a hotel in Brazil. Bodyguard Pascal Duvier later clarified that he was not part of Roan's team and said he takes "full responsibility" for what occurred in a March 25Instagram post.

The Grammy-winning musician, who was in the country to perform at Lollapalooza Brazil, posted a video on March 22 of her explaining that the guard was "not my personal security" and that she "didn't even see a woman and a child."

"I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child," she said. "They did not come up to me. They weren't doing anything. It's unfair for security to just assume someone doesn't have good intentions, when they have no reason to believe, because there's no action even taken."

Buffalo Sabres' record NHL playoff drought ends: Here's how they did it

TheBuffalo Sabresare back in the NHL playoffs, ending a league-record postseason drought of 14 seasons.

All they had to do was change the messenger.

The Sabres clinched their first playoff berth since 2010-11 with the Detroit Red Wings' loss in the afternoon on Saturday, April 4.

It was looking like the streak could hit 15 when Buffalo sat in last place in the Eastern Conference on Dec. 8. The Sabres won three in a row to get back to .500, thenfired general manager Kevyn Adamson Dec. 15 and promoted Jarmo Kekalainen to the position.

The team took off, extending its winning streak to 10 games. Entering Saturday, Buffalo has gone 32-8-4 under the former Columbus Blue Jackets GM. The Sabres have their first 100-point season since 2009-10 and are looking for their first division title since that season.

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (8) greets fans on the blue carpet before opening night against the New York Islanders.

" style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" />

NHL fans and mascots cheer on their teams in 2025-26 season

Kevyn Adams' tenure

Adams, the general manager since 2020-21, brought in some of the players on this team, such as Alex Tuch, Josh Norris, Jason Zucker, Bowen Byram, Ryan McLeod and Josh Doan. He also traded away Jack Eichel (after a dispute over what type of neck surgery he should have), Sam Reinhart, Dylan Cozens and J.J. Peterka. Eichel and Reinhart won Stanley Cup titles after their trades.

Adams drew some criticism last season when he explained the difficulty of drawing free agents to Buffalo and why players often include the city on their no-trade lists.

"We don't have palm trees," he told reporters. "We have taxes in New York."

Adams last season brought back coach Lindy Ruff, who had been coach of the 2010-11 playoff team. But the Sabres continued their pattern of early-season swoons — 0-10-3 this time — and finished 12 points out of a playoff spot.

Buffalo traded No. 2 scorer Peterka to Utah in the offseason and opened the season 0-3. Fans began chanting for Adams' firing and it finally happened in December.

Jarmo Kekalainen's tenure

Teams often get a bump from a coaching change, but a front office change can also have an impact because a general manager can decide a player's future.

Kekalainen noted that his focus was going to be on work ethic, saying the team had lost some games by being outworked.

"You've got to work, you've got to compete and you've got to be relentless," he said after being named general manager. "That's what I want the identity of the Buffalo Sabres to be."

He added that he "firmly" believed that Sabres could be a playoff team.

Kekalainen had been hired as a senior adviser in May. He had been aggressive in Columbus, hanging on to pending free agents Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin and adding to a team that shockingly swept the No. 1 overall Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round in 2019.

After he was promoted in Buffalo, he revamped the front office and held on to Ruff. He gave a contract extension to Doan, who was acquired in the Peterka trade. But with the team surging, there was little need to change the players.

The general manager made moves at the deadline to beef up the team's depth. He traded for Colton Parayko, but it fell through when the defensemandeclined to waive his no-trade clause. He pivoted to add big, rugged defensemen Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn. He also added Sam Carrick, who's strong on faceoffs, and depth forward Tanner Pearson.

A sign that the Sabres were for real was when they defeated the Lightning 8-7 in a game thatfeatured tons of goals and penalty minutes.

What's next for the Sabres?

They will try to win the Atlantic Division title and still have a chance to be the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

There isn't a lot of playoff experience in this core because of the long drought. However, Schenn and Pearson are former Stanley Cup winners and McLeod has been to the Final. Tuch has played 66 postseason games and Zucker has played 52.

And Ruff has coached 101 playoff games, winning 57. He took the Sabres to the 1999 Final.

Who has the longest playoff drought?

The Detroit Red Wings are at nine seasons, the Anaheim Ducks are at seven and the San Jose Sharks are at six. But heading into Saturday's game, the Ducks are second in the Pacific Division, the Sharks hold the second wild-card spot in the West and the Red Wings sit one spot below the playoff line in the East.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been eliminated, and their playoff drought is at six seasons.
