Vincent Palladino Jr. tops field at Northern Ontario Men's Amateur
Article content Vincent Palladino may not yet have joined his father in capturing the Idylwylde Invitational, but the Northern Ontario Men's Amateur is not a bad place to start. Article content The 21-year-old son of the most decorated champion in Invite history joined his dad in the NGA record books this past weekend, recording a three-stroke win over the trio of Alex Fowke, Will Hindemit and Cole Thompson as the Idylwylde Golf and Country Club played host to four GOA qualifying events. Article content Article content An even par round of 72 has moved Palladino Jr. along to the Ontario Men's Amateur Championship, taking place at Deerhurst Highlands Golf Course from June 25 to 28. Article content Article content 'This is one of the first rounds where I've had a score that I felt I kind of stole from the golf course,' said Palladino, who plans to return for one more year of OUA varsity golf at Laurentian University come the fall. Article content 'There were some solid chips and some really good putts that kept me even today.' Article content Just three months ago, even participating in this event was a huge question mark as Palladino underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, with initial speculation leaning towards a four-month recovery period. Article content 'It was pretty cool winning it after not knowing if I would even play three months ago,' he admitted. Article content With that history serving as the lead in to the Northern Men's Amateur, it only made sense that Palladino reverted to a very core approach as he stepped up to hit his first shot on Saturday. Article content Article content 'Honestly, I just committed to my process and whatever happened from there, happened,' he said. 'It's all about not getting ahead of yourself, not thinking about the end result before it's even started.' Article content 'Everyone starts a tournament with the hopes of winning but you've got to do that by hitting the first shot off the tee, and then the second one, and so on,' Palladino noted. Article content Palladino will lead six qualifiers from the tournament into action at Deerhurst, all of which then leads into his hopes of cracking what should be a formidable Idylwylde Ryder Cup roster this summer. Article content In other divisional play, Sault Ste. Marie native and former Idylwylde Invitational champion Don Martone (74) earned a one-stroke victory in the senior men's division, edging out Todd Crowder (75), with John Kusnierczyk (77) also in hot pursuit. Article content The mid-amateur crown went to Kingston native and former Detroit Mercy Titans golfer Eric Macrow, getting the better of John Glynn on a playoff hole. Both players wrapped up play at eighteen with even par scores of 72, with Frank Kuchar and Matthew Thomas tied for third at 74.

'It's Just for the Pure Love of This Art Form': ‘THR Frontrunners' Panel With ‘Étoile' Showrunners Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino
Amy-Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino have dabbled in the world of ballet before — their 2012 series Bunheads focused on a ballet school and their Gilmore Girls character of Miss Patty (Liz Torres) was a dance teacher. But with Étoile, the showrunner couple wanted to explore the art form even deeper. 'I was a dancer, so I grew up in that world,' Sherman-Palladino said at a recent THR Frontrunners panel. 'Most of the stuff that I've seen done around the ballet world, it's usually like, 'Oh, they're so pretty and fluffy onstage,' but then offstage they push each other off buildings and murder each other. I'm kidding. But there's just so much more to it than that. They are actually a really interesting group of people, and it's the one art form where you're guaranteed to never make a dime. You're going to die poor and then your career will be over at 25 and you'll be teaching Pilates and you're giving up everything because it's just for the pure love of this art form, and I find that miraculous.'

Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg lead the main cast, with Lou de Laâge, Gideon Glick, Ivan du Pontavice, Yanic Truesdale and David Alvarez rounding out the ensemble. The Palladinos, known for their rapid-fire dialogue across beloved series like Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, saw an added challenge to the writing of the script when they decided to incorporate the French language. 'We went through many translators,' Palladino admits. 'We used Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou de Laâge mainly as our judges because they were familiar with what we had done with Maisel and Gilmore Girls, and they knew about the snap [referring to the cadence of the Palladino dialogue] and they really wanted to do that, and they really wanted to do it in English. But neither of them had really done comedy in English before. But we kept getting head-shaking when we asked, 'what about these translations?' and they were like 'NO!' The worst thing they said was, 'well, it is the words.' … We finally found this really great lady, who really knows both languages, and she was on set with us.' Once the scripts were ready, the Palladinos knew casting would be an extra challenge due to the fact that they had to hire dancers who could act and vice versa as well as professional dancers for the performance sequences and body doubles for certain actors. 'The casting took forever,' says Palladino. 'For the dance companies, we basically had to put 20 professional grade dancers in each country, and that took a long time. … We tried to give all of them something to say at some point because they wanted to and we wanted to do that for them.' 'And this show is about the dancers — it's not a dance show — it's really about them and their lives and their work,' adds Sherman-Palladino. 'And so when we went to them first to say, 'we come in peace,' we wanted them to understand that they weren't window dressing to us, they were real characters. We got to know them and their voices so that when we gave them dialogue, it was something that was akin to who they were.' For de Laâge's character Cheyenne, the premier ballerina in the world, the duo knew that they wouldn't be able to 'find a dancer who could take on a role as complex as Cheyenne,' says Palladino. 'Here, the acting came first, so we did cast Lou, who was not a dancer, but as Amy said, because dancers give off being a dancer by walking, sitting in a certain way, we went through very, very vigorous training, but we also had a dance double come in. … I know a lot of people didn't know that [Lou] was not a dancer.' Of course, Taïs Vinolo, who plays Mishi, is a dancer in real life, as is Alvarez, who plays Gael. 'David was Bernardo in West Side Story, and we saw him when he was 14 in Billy Elliot,' says Palladino, to which Sherman-Palladino adds, 'Gael was not in the show. We were looking for at least two or three ringers that we could have as actors who also did their own dancing. He's an interesting guy: He was on Broadway; he won a Tony; then he danced at ABT [American Ballet Theatre] for a while; then he joined the army; then he backpacked across Mexico for two years. … And so we thought, well, that's kind of a fun character and we asked him, 'Do you mind if we steal your entire life for our evil purposes?' And I don't know if he knew we were serious until he saw the script [and who Gael is in the series].' The show, almost three years in the making, received a two-season order from Amazon in 2023 — and while the season one finale ended with some twists and turns, Sherman-Palladino says there's been no progress on a second season so far. 'Let's talk about Hollywood a little bit,' Sherman-Palladino says. 'When they say two-year pickup, they don't mean it. They mean one year and then we'll see who's still working at Amazon by the time the second year comes around to be greenlit. So as of yet, there is no second season pickup. So what I'm saying is if you want Étoile, please go home and buy a lot of toilet paper on Amazon. I know Amazon loves selling toilet paper. So if you watch Étoile and go buy 40,000 things of toilet paper, they'll be like, 'wow, look at all the toilet paper that we sell when people watch Étoile.' And then maybe we'll get a second season.'

Francesco Farioli in line to take over at Fiorentina
After rumours of a possible departure for some time, Fiorentina have officially said goodbye to coach Raffaele Palladino and his technical staff. One of the most striking candidates mentioned to succeed Palladino is former Ajax coach Francesco Farioli. The 41-year-old Palladino leaves after just one season in Florence. The Tuscany side announced the news with a concise press release in which it was announced that the collaboration had ended 'by mutual agreement'. Advertisement At the beginning of this season, Palladino signed a contract until the summer of 2027. At the beginning of May, that contract was extended by another year, as Fiorentina activated a clause in the deal. It's been an extension that hasn't lasted long, and the club and the coach part ways just 25 days later. The Italian media are now speculating about La Viola's successor. Corriere dello Sport are pushing veteran Stefano Pioli forward. The current Al Nassr coach was already in charge of the group at Fiorentina (between 2017 and 2019) and is said to be open to a return to the Serie A. Daniele De Rossi, without a club since his dismissal at AS Roma, and Marco Baroni of Lazio are also mentioned. And then there is Francesco Farioli. The young Tuscan coach, who led Ajax to second place in the Eredivisie this season, was spotted in a restaurant in the centre of Florence on Thursday evening. Farioli has also been linked to Glasgow Rangers. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Serie A: Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino departs after one season
Fiorentina says coach Raffaele Palladino has left the Serie A club by mutual consent after only one season in charge. Fiorentina says coach Raffaele Palladino has left the Serie A club by mutual consent after only one season in charge. It was reported earlier this week that Palladino had handed in his resignation but that the club was trying to convince the 41-year-old coach to stay. Fiorentina can confirm that Raffaele Palladino's contract, as well as those of his backroom team, has today been terminated by mutual consent, the Italian club said Friday in a brief statement. Palladino coached Fiorentina to a sixth-placed finish in Serie A and a Conference League spot. It was regarded as a successful season, so his reported resignation had caught club management off guard. Fiorentina also reached the semifinals of the Conference League. It had lost in the final of that competition in each of the previous two seasons, under Vincenzo Italiano. Less than a week after the season ended, the Serie A coaching carousel is ramping up. Massimiliano Allegri returned to AC Milan on Friday and a number of other changes are expected.
