Red Dead Redemption's John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff has attempted to calm fans down again after he teased some "exciting news" coming this week while playing through the 2010 action-adventure he stars in, now reminding everyone that "I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games."
Previously, the stars seemed to be aligning for some sort of Red Dead Redemption-related announcement. Not only did Wiethoff say that "cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game" during his stream, but asked if he knew "what the Red Dead news is Rob mentioned," Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark said "yes," seemingly confirming it really is something to do with the series.
Now though, in a new livestream on his YouTube channel (highlighted by @jonbranham_ on Twitter), Wiethoff says that while "I do have something I'm really excited about, I truly am, and I think you will be too," he now realises that he "possibly misled some people when I announced that I have something to announce that I can't talk about right now.
"Just please recognize – and I know that you know this, but let me remind you, I guess – I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games. We all know that, I'm just reminding you I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games makes announcements for Rockstar Games, and they don't use me to do that," he laughs. "So please know that, and again I still think that a lot of you are going to be really excited about this news, absolutely."
Wiethoff says he still "can't share it with you yet, and I'm so sorry" about that, but assuming his original teaser still holds up, we should be finding out whatever it is in the next few days. Again, Clark's previous comment does indicate that there's something related to Red Dead going on, but anyone hoping for something like a remake, port, or new game should probably temper their expectations at this point.
15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse.

Sabrina Carpenter triggers backlash with racy photos ahead of her new album

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has raised eyebrows by posting some very racy photos ahead of the release of her new album. Her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, will be out on 29 August. Fans of the 26-year-old singer, who just released the single, Manchild from the upcoming album, have been divided on the recently posted album art – a photograph of Sabrina, on her hands and knees, wearing a short black dress with heels, as an unseen man grabs her hair. 'Am I the only one who thinks this is dehumanising for women?' a social media user wrote. Another said she believed in women owning their sexuality and feeling powerful in their bodies, 'but a woman on all fours with a man pulling her hair isn't empowering. It mirrors the very objectification we're trying to break free from'. Sabrina responded to one X user after the person retweeted her album art and asked, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' saying, 'Girl yes and it is goooooood.' Sabrina has also faced backlash for her recent Rolling Stone cover where she poses nude with pair of white stockings as her long blonde hair and arms cover her. The former Disney child star has also been accused of being over-sexualised and inappropriate during her current Short n' Sweet tour which runs until November. For her concerts Sabrina wears glittery corsets, garter belts, lacy baby doll nighties and has very intimate choreography. When she performs her song Juno, she sings, 'Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?' and acts out sex positions. At the end of the song, Bed Chem, she lies on a heart-shaped bed, staging intercourse with a male dancer behind a curtain. | 'Fight's not over' – Justin Baldoni is still hitting back at Blake Lively's sex-pest claims 'It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this'. But those are the songs that you've made popular,' she told Rolling Stone. 'Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the Juno positions but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that.' Sabrina says she finds irony and humour in all the criticism and that she isn't bothered by people's opinions. 'I don't want to be pessimistic but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more and scrutinised in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now,' she said. 'It's definitely not always great and I don't always feel like I know what's happening. I feel like I have some clarity on what I want, at least for the near future, which is rare. I'm so lucky to be in a place right now where I feel present.'

Twins pitcher trolls Kody Clemens with callback to dad's broken bat incident

Give Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan a ton of credit. He sure knows his baseball history. On Friday, as the Minnesota Twins faced the Milwaukee Brewers, the starter perfectly trolled his teammate Kody Clemens with a perfect callback to one of his father's most infamous moments: The broken bat toss at Mike Piazza in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series. Advertisement Ryan would've been four years old when Roger Clemens lost his cool. But the moment was clearly fresh in Ryan's mind Friday when Christian Yelich's splintered bat landed right in front of the mound. Ryan grabbed the bat and pretended to toss it at Yelich as Kody Clemens looked on from the infield. We can only assume Ryan has been waiting for this opportunity since Minnesota added Clemens back in April. If it just came into Ryan's mind in the moment, then more power to him. That should make for fun clubhouse fodder — at least, it will be until Roger shows up.
