The Marías frontwoman María Zardoya paid tribute to her late niece and Milania Giudice‘s longtime friend, Victoria Zardoya.

“Rest in peace to my sweet niece, Victoria,” the Grammy nominee, 31, wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, July 30. “Heaven gained an angel too soon, but she lives on.”

María added that the following day would be Victoria’s honor walk. (An honor walk is a ceremonial event where doctors, nurses, staff, and family members commemorate a deceased person who chose to donate their organs.)

“She’ll give the gift of life to 8 others,” the singer continued. “As we play music this weekend, she’ll be saving lives and I know she’ll be singing and dancing along with us.”

An autopsy for Milania Giudice’s late friend Victoria Zardoya has been delayed following her sudden death at age 20. A spokesperson for the Manatee County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to Us that Zardoya will be transferred once organ donation is completed. It was reported this week that Zardoya died from injuries sustained in a fall […]

María included a throwback video of Victoria as she performed The Marías song “No One Noticed.” Victoria rocked a cowboy hat as she strummed a guitar and sang along to her aunt’s track.

“Light a candle and say a prayer for the family and for the families of the recipients. We love you, Victoria,” María concluded.

Earlier this month, Victoria unexpectedly died at age 20 following a fatal accident in Florida. Us previously reported that Victoria sustained a fall while with friends as they explored the historic ruins at Fort Dade on Egmont Key. Victoria’s friends called 911, and she was subsequently hospitalized. She died on July 24 due to her injuries.

The Giudice family — which includes Milania, parents Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice as well as siblings Gia and Audriana Giudice — were quick to pay their respects to Victoria as she was a childhood friend of the Real Housewives of New Jersey star.

“There are no words for this kind of pain,” Joe, 54, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 26, sharing a photo of himself with Milania, 20, and her friends. “Victoria, you were like a daughter to me. I watched you grow up with my daughter Milania. We were neighbors for years, and you became part of our family. I can’t believe you’re gone.”

Victoria’s twin sister, Alexandra Zardoya, broke her silence nearly a week later.

“Victoria, I can’t believe this is real life. Tears are falling down my cheeks as I type every word,” Alexandra, 20, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 31. “My twin sister, my other half, we were in the womb together, and ever since then we have been inseparable. You are the only person in this world who truly understood every single part of me. You truly were a light in everyone’s life, especially mine. … You were everything and more to me.”

This week, one of the trailers we’ve all been waiting for finally landed as fans got their first full look at the return of Jason Sudeikis‘ soccer coach, Ted Lasso. Following his departure at the end of the third season to spend more time with his son back across the pond, Ted is reuniting with Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) and Hannah Waddingham‘s Rebecca Welton to tackle an all-new adventure in AFC Richmond.

In Season 4, which debuts on August 5, Ted will be putting his strange sense of optimism and baffling yet moving motivational quotes to good use in the women’s second division, as he takes charge of the Lady Greyhounds, and the men’s team continues their hunt for glory under Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein). Other fan-favorite faces will return in Season 4, alongside plenty of new blood to the squad, including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. But don’t let Ted Lasso be the only heartwarming sports-based tale to keep you entertained next month.

Starting August 1, you will be able to stream the 1993 classic The Sandlot on Paramount+. The sort of optimistic sports tale that Ted himself would look to for inspiration, this king of the childhood baseball movies follows Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) as he looks to make friends in the San Fernando Valley, finding solace with a group of kids who play baseball at the titular sandlot. Thanks to earning just $35 million at the box office, the film is now considered a certified cult classic, and one that many still return to for comfort viewing to this day.

‘The Sandlot’ Is Stepping Back Up to the Plate

A viewing of The Sandlot next month isn’t just advised for those looking to keep in the Ted Lasso spirit, as it also acts as the perfect reminder of what came before ahead of an exciting return to the plate. Despite two underwhelming direct-to-video sequels that followed the original, no one has managed to return to The Sandlot and recapture the magic. It has now been confirmed that Patrick Renna, who played Hamilton “Ham” Porter, is co-creating a new comedy series titled Dugout Dads with Kyle Howard. Renna will star alongside Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Brandon Quintin Adams, Victor DiMattia, Shane Obedzinski, Grant Gelt, Will Horneff, and even Guiry himself.

The Sandlot is coming to Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more stories.

Jennifer Aniston has a knack for making the simplest vacation outfits feel incredibly chic. During a recent getaway, the actress reminded us that you don’t need designer accessories or over-the-top trends to look polished — sometimes all it takes is a simple pair of black flip-flops. Even better, recreating the look costs just $15.

The Friends alum was recently spotted vacationing in Mallorca, Spain, pairing classic black flip-flops with light-wash loose jeans, a crisp white tank, a black beach hat and a roomy brown tote. The relaxed outfit perfectly reflected her signature laid-back aesthetic, and while we don’t know the exact sandals she packed, recreating the look is surprisingly affordable.

Mike “The Miz” Mizanin has faced John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania, starred in movies, and spent years performing under the bright lights of WWE. However, his next challenge comes with a different kind of pressure and a staggering number of hot dogs. On Saturday, August 1, the Ohio native will team up with Smirnoff Ice in Put-in-Bay to attempt two Guinness World Records: the Largest Display of Hot Dogs and the Largest Hot Dog Party.

Although the concept may sound like a lighthearted way to celebrate summer, The Miz revealed in an exclusive interview with The Blast that there are strict rules behind the attempt. If even one participant fails to follow the instructions, it could jeopardize the entire record-breaking event.

5

When asked how he was handling the pressure of attempting two records in a single day, The Miz pointed to his lengthy WWE résumé as proof that he knows how to perform when the stakes are high.

“Well, I’m a pressure player. That’s what I like. I thrive on pressure,” he told The Blast. “I beat John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27 and retained the WWE Championship. So in the lights of the brightest, that’s when I step up to the plate.”

The WWE Superstar will serve as the host of the event, but his responsibilities will go beyond keeping hundreds of attendees entertained. He will also have to make sure everyone understands and follows the requirements necessary for Guinness World Records to recognize both attempts.

“It’s basically me being the host that I can be, Smirnoff Ice being the product that it is, and basically putting on a party of a lifetime, but not only that, everyone needs to follow directions,” The Miz explained. “So I’m gonna make sure that everyone is following the directions, so we can break two records.”

He added very confidently, “If everyone doesn’t come together as a cohesive team, this will not happen, but we’re not talking about that because this is gonna happen.”

The Hot Dog Display Comes With A Surprising Rule

5

The first goal is to create the World’s Largest Display of Hot Dogs, which The Miz was told will be larger than an NFL logo. However, simply arranging a massive number of hot dogs will not be enough to secure the title. According to The Miz, every hot dog must have a condiment, and separate participants will be responsible for adding those toppings.

“Now, it’s weird, because you have to have a condiment on there, and each hot dog will have a different condiment, and a different person has to put that on there,” he shared. “So there’s going to be a lot of direction, a lot of people.”

Once the display is completed and officially recognized, the event will immediately transition into the attempt to hold the world’s Largest Hot Dog Party. “And then right after we break the record for World’s Largest Hot Dog Display, we’re going right into the World’s Largest Hot Dog Party, and it is going to be big,” The Miz declared. “It’s gonna be gigantic.”

One Participant Could Jeopardize The Entire Attempt

5

The Miz emphasized that Guinness World Records does not simply hand out titles to anyone who gathers enough people and supplies. The organizers held an hour-long meeting ahead of the event to review the requirements and make sure every detail was accounted for.

While The Miz did not want to introduce any negativity, he acknowledged that one person failing to complete their assigned role correctly could affect everyone involved. “There’s a lot of rules in the Guinness Book of World Records. They don’t just give it to everybody,” he told The Blast. “You don’t just throw something together, and it happens.”

“I’m not going to put negativity out there, but if someone doesn’t do what they need to do, they can ruin it for the entire city,” he continued. “And for the entire state of Ohio. And I’m not going to let that happen as host.”

The Miz admitted that the amount of planning behind the event may surprise those who initially viewed it as nothing more than a giant hot dog party. “It sounds like a joke. It sounds funny, but it’s a lot of work. It’s for real,” he said. “We’re gonna break two records, and it’s gonna be the best time ever.”

Returning To Ohio Makes The Event Personal For The Miz

5

Beyond the possibility of adding two Guinness World Records to his list of achievements, the event holds personal significance for The Miz because it brings him back to his home state. He grew up visiting the Put-in-Bay and Sandusky areas with his family, making his return especially nostalgic.

“As soon as they said Cleveland, Put-in-Bay, I instantly remembered memories, my family and I, being at the beach, you know, going in that area of Sandusky where you’d go to Cedar Point,” he shared. “It just brought back such fond memories.”

For The Miz, returning to a place tied to his childhood while attempting something unprecedented makes the occasion different from many of the other partnerships he has taken on throughout his career. “When you can go home, to the Cleveland area and go to Put-in-Bay, where I used to go as a kid with my family and break a couple world records. It feels warm in my heart,” he said. “Like I’m giddy about it. I’m excited about it, and I can’t wait to do it.”

His friends have already been reaching out about participating. “My friends are already texting me, going, ‘Hey, we’re doing this. It’s happening,’” The Miz revealed. “And I go, guys, I know. Not every day you get to break two world records in one day.”

The Miz Has One Rule For His Own Hot Dog

5

The Miz may be willing to oversee hundreds of uniquely topped hot dogs, but his personal order is far less complicated. He named ketchup and mustard as his go-to combination, with relish or cheese occasionally making the cut.

Chili, however, is not welcome anywhere near his hot dog. “Some people like chili. I’m not that guy,” he admitted. “I’m not a chili on my hot dog type of person. It gets too sloppy. Too messy. Not for me.” He is not particularly interested in onions, either, joking that he does not want the bad breath following him around for the rest of the day.

Whether every topping involved in the display meets The Miz’s personal approval will not matter nearly as much as every participant following the official directions. With the supplies secured, hundreds of people registering, and extensive preparations underway, the WWE Superstar is confident Ohio will end the day with two new records.

“With Smirnoff Ice’s help, my help, my friends from Cleveland’s help, and everybody that’s gonna be a part of this event at Put-in-Bay,” he said, “Oh, man, it’s gonna be something special. It’s gonna be something to watch.”

Chicago Fire is going through some cast changes — which means not everyone is returning for season 15.

The One Chicago franchise has been known for making headlines over the years as cast members often come and go across all three shows: Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. Before Chicago Fire returned for season 15, multiple outlets confirmed that Joe Miñoso was leaving the hit NBC series.

Off screen, showrunner Andrea Newman exited the show after more than a decade.

Newman, who worked on Chicago Fire for its entire 14-season run, confirmed her departure in April, with coexecutive producer Victor Teran taking over the role. Newman joined Chicago Fire after the pilot as coexecutive producer before being promoted to executive producer. She was then named coshowrunner before becoming the sole showrunner in 2023.

“Working at Chicago Fire, with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman said in a statement. “Like so many others, I was inspired to get into TV writing because of Dick [Wolf], so what a thrill it’s been to work with him and the amazing Wolf team of Peter Jankowski, Rebecca McGill and Anastasia Puglisi. I’m so grateful to them, Derek Haas and the NBC and Universal execs who have been so supportive of the show all along the way. After 14 years, you really do become a family and working with this group will always feel like home.”

Jankowski, meanwhile, released a separate statement, which read, “We’re sad to say goodbye to Andrea. She’s been at the center of the heart and soul of Chicago Fire since the beginning, and the show thrived under her watch. We’re grateful for her commitment to the development of the next generation and know the show will be in great hands with Victor taking the reins.”

Keep scrolling to see who is — and isn’t — returning in season 15 of Chicago Fire:

Taylor Kinney

While not everyone will remain on Chicago Fire, there is no show without Kinney’s character, Kelly Severide.

David Eigenberg

Eigenberg is expected to return as Herrmann in season 15.

Christian Stolte

The expectation for now is that Stolte returns as Mouch.

Joe Miñoso

Miñoso played firefighter Joe Cruz since Chicago Fire premiered in 2012. According to reports, the actor is expected to appear in several episodes during season 15 before his exit.

Miranda Rae Mayo

Since Mayo has played Stella on Chicago Fire since 2016, the expectation is that she sticks around despite the possible shakeups behind the scenes.

Hanako Greensmith

Greensmith is expected to remain on the show as Violet.

Mulroney was missing for several episodes in season 14 when he was written off the show with a story line that required him to be off screen. Mulroney appeared on Chicago Fire as Dom Pascal until Rob Morgan took over his position at Firehouse 51. Mulroney returned in the May 2026 finale after his future in the franchise seemed unclear.

He is expected to return in season 15 to wrap up his story line.
