Will There Be a Season 3 of ‘America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?'
Season 1 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders first graced the screen in June 2024, and the docuseries became a huge hit for Netflix. The second season debuted this month on June 18, and fans already want more. Here's what we know about season 3 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Netflix has not officially announced a season 3, but the team has been teasing the audition process for the coming year. They even shared a finalized roster of 36 cheerleaders this June for training camp 2025, and a clip featuring guest judge, Kacey Musgraves—who would be a huge get for a new season. Each season is an examination of the young women auditioning to perform on the cheerleading team for the Dallas Cowboys, following those who make it to training camp as they grow and develop their skills. Season 2 followed both the rookies and the seasoned veterans who will ultimately find their place in one of the 36 spots on the official squad. Training camp is led by DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell, who will most likely be back. Musgraves seems to be involved in some capacity, and some girls will be returning from past seasons. The team also shared their 'rookie roundup.' Fan favorite Dayton might make an appearance, though this fan-made TikTok explains she did not make the final round. If the show is definitely continuing, it seems likely that it would be released next summer, since season 1 and 2 both came out in June, one year apart. This post will be updated.

Kneecap Glastonbury slot ‘not appropriate', says Starmer
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he does not think Kneecap's planned Glastonbury Festival performance is 'appropriate'. He made the comments after Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh appeared in court on Wednesday, after being charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. In an interview with The Sun, Sir Keir was asked if he thought the trio should perform at Glastonbury, to which he replied: 'No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this. 'This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' It comes after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance at the festival next week. Mrs Badenoch said in the X post, which was accompanied by an article from The Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' The Tory Leader of the Opposition has previously called for the group to be banned from Glastonbury, and last year Kneecap won a discrimination case against the UK Government in Belfast High Court after she tried to refuse them a £14,250 funding award when she was a minister. Kneecap took aim at Mrs Badenoch in their latest single, The Recap, released just before their headline set at London's Wide Awake festival in May, with the song mocking the politician's attempts to block their arts funding and the Conservative Party's election loss. The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. As a publicly funded platform the BBC should not be rewarding extremism. — Kemi Badenoch (@KemiBadenoch) June 21, 2025 On Wednesday, O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. During the proceedings, a prosecutor told the court the 27-year-old is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on Israel and Palestine, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, is a 'wholly different thing'. O hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. Following the hearing, the rapper said: 'For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. 'If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September. 'But most importantly: free, free Palestine.' The charge came following a counter-terrorism police investigation after the historical gig footage came to light, which also allegedly shows the group calling for the deaths of MPs. In April, Kneecap apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been 'exploited and weaponised'. In an initial post in response to the charge, Kneecap said: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves, this is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction. 'We are not the story, genocide is, as they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their crown court, instead a court that doesn't have a jury. What's the objective? 'To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Formed in 2017, the group are known for their provocative lyrics in both Irish and English and their merchandise. Their best-known tracks include Get Your Brits Out, Better Way To Live, featuring Grian Chatten from Fontaines DC, and 3Cag. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead-up to the festival.'

Man Builds Electric Fence but Dog Outsmarts Him Instantly
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A clever Great Pyrenees has captured the hearts of internet users after outsmarting her owners not once—but twice—in a viral escape story that has earned over 3.2 million views on TikTok. The text layered over the video, posted by Samantha Vicha (@ said that the determined dog initially digging under a backyard fence, prompting a creative intervention from her owners. It added: "My husband spent [three] hours putting electric along the bottom of the fence line so she would stop digging under." Just two days later, the resourceful Pyrenees called Haleesi found an even more impressive escape route: she scaled up and hopped through a small gap above the electric line, completely bypassing the new barrier without breaking a sweat. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Haleesi the dog climbing up and jumping through the gap. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Haleesi the dog climbing up and jumping through the gap. TikTok/@ This escape artistry may come as no surprise to those familiar with the Great Pyrenees. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says these dogs were historically bred to guard livestock in mountainous terrain, often working alone and making decisions independently. While the breed may not always leap to obey commands, early training and socialization can channel that intelligence into loyal companionship. The Great Pyrenees' instinct to roam, guard, and find their own solutions is deeply embedded in their DNA. TikTok Users Share Similar Tales The viral video has resonated widely, with owners of Great Pyrenees and other dogs chiming in with their own stories of canine cunning. "My female chewed my male's electric collar off so they could both escape together," one user posted. Another added: "My Great Pyrenees lives at the local Dollar General and sometimes visits me at my house." Others admired the dog's ingenuity. "I mean it worked! I saw zero digging!" one user commented. Vicha responded: "That's one way to look at it." Another fan simply said: "She's a problem solver." 7 Ways To Keep Your Dog in the Yard Here are some clever ways from the AKC to keep your four-legged Houdini safely in the yard where they belong: 1. Extend Your Fence Raising the fence height isn't your only option. Instead, add a top extension that tilts inward. This visual and physical barrier discourages jumping and climbing. A lean-in is made by attaching farm wire or mesh at an inward angle from the top, forming an awning-like overhang that visually deters climbing. An L-footer works similarly but extends horizontally inward from the top of the fence. Both make it appear as if the fence continues over the yard, confusing and deterring escape attempts. 2. Eliminate Climbing Aids Survey your yard and remove anything near the fence that could serve as a step up. This includes: Firewood stacks Garbage or recycling bins Patio furniture Playground equipment Large rocks or landscaping features 3. Install Coyote Rollers These ingenious devices are long, spinning bars mounted to the fence top. When a dog (or coyote) tries to grab hold, the bar rotates—making it impossible to get traction. Originally designed to keep wildlife out, they are just as effective at keeping pets in. Full kits are available online and include brackets and end caps. 4. Use Landscaping as a Barrier Plant thick shrubs or hedges inside the fence line. Not only do they add beauty and privacy, but they also increase the difficulty of getting close enough to jump. 5. Install a Bottom L-Footer Prevent digging by attaching chicken wire, hardware cloth, or chain-link fencing at the base. Extend it out along the ground inside the yard (in an L-shape). For a neater appearance, you can bury it. Or, leave it exposed and weigh it down with mulch, stones, or planters. 6. Pour a Concrete Footer For persistent diggers, a concrete barrier is the ultimate solution. Pour a strip along the entire fence perimeter and embed the bottom edge of the fence directly into it. This creates a solid, unbreachable base. 7. Block the View Many dogs are triggered by what they see outside the fence. Reduce visual stimulation to help keep them inside. For chain-link fences, thread plastic slats through the mesh. Attach bamboo or reed fencing to any fence type using zip ties—it is affordable and effective. Plant fast-growing vines or climbing shrubs along the fence line (but protect them until they are established). Newsweek is awaiting for @ to provide a comment.
