Los Angeles Dodgers host Chicago Cubs for a National League matchup
It’s a home run for baseball fans. The 2025 MLB regular season is in full swing, with another star-studded matchup Sunday, April 13, featuring the 2024 reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers as they host the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. All the action broadcasts live on ESPN.
The Dodgers are coming off another impressive 98-win season in 2024, entering this year as a favorite to win it all again, hoping to secure back-to-back championships — a feat not achieved since the New York Yankees won three titles in a row in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
With the Dodgers’ front office bolstering an already dominant baseball club during the off-season, the continued development of Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be on the minds of many this year after coming off an incredible rookie season. Not only did Yamamoto win the World Series in his first season with the Dodgers, but he did it in dominant fashion, finishing the season with a 7-2 record, an ERA of 3.00 and 105 strikeouts across 90 innings pitched.
In an interview with MLB.com, Yamamoto
discussed his biggest goals for the 2025 campaign.
“Of course, being a world champion,” Yamamoto said through his interpreter, Yoshihiro Sonoda. “We were able to accomplish that last year as a team, and I’d like for us to experience that again this season.”
The visiting Chicago Cubs, meanwhile, will be looking to build off a respectable 83-win season. In 2024, the Cubs finished four games above .500, with expectations going into this season much higher as they look to earn their first division title since 2020.

At a crossroads: Past choices lead down new paths in “The Last of Us” Season 2
Eventually, we all make choices that come to define us. When that happens, we must decide which path forward we will take and be willing to face the consequences for that action — no matter what they may be. Faced with the question of survival for those you love, would you hang on to your morals or do everything you can to protect them? Would they forgive you? These are questions at the heart of “The Last of Us” Season 2, which premieres Sunday, April 13, on HBO and Max.
The return of HBO’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic drama reunites audiences with Joel (Pedro Pascal, “The Mandalorian”) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey, “Game of Thrones”) five years after the events of Season 1’s pulse-pounding finale. Now, the hardened smuggler and smart-mouthed teen have settled down into a life nearly resembling a time before the fungal plague turned billions into horrifying creatures. The surrogate father-daughter duo has found community in Jackson, Wyoming with Joel’s brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), and his partner, Maria (Rutina Wesley, “Queen Sugar”), as well as new friends Dina (Isabela Merced, “Alien: Romulus,” 2024) and Jesse (Young Mazino, “Beef”). But behind the fortified walls of their safe haven, all is not well.
Decisions made in Season 1 — those spoiler-heavy, life-changing decisions made in order to protect loved ones — have forged a major rift between Joel and Ellie. The second season’s tagline, “Every path has a price,” acts as an ominous reminder that Joel’s earlier actions will have consequences that could drive away the very person he fights hardest to protect. And as paths tend
to do, our duo’s paths have branched apart, leading Ellie on a new journey west.
Ellie won’t be flying solo, however, as she’ll be accompanied by her friend-recently-turned-girlfriend Dina. The character is more than just a romantic lead, as Dina is a very capable survivor in her own right.
Speaking to Empire, Merced touched on how her character brings important levity to an otherwise dark story: “In the middle of an apocalypse, I would be the first one cracking jokes in the most inappropriate times.”
Backing up their co-star, Ramsey says, “She brought such a light and energy and silliness to the show in such a brilliant way.”
In Seattle, now 25 years post-outbreak and ruled by an iron-fisted paramilitary organization, this season introduces viewers to Abby (Kaitlyn Dever, “Dopesick”). As a skilled member of the Washington Liberation Front, Abby faces her own tough choices to make as the WLF fights for control of the city — but her own deeply ingrained sense of right and wrong fuel her own expedition. With Ellie headed her way, their paths are certain to meet, for better or worse.
The wedge between Joel and Ellie at the heart of this season is sure to get fans talking given their journey so far. The first season sees Joel, closed off after losing his daughter (Nico Parker, “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” 2025) in the outbreak, charged with smuggling Ellie cross-country to a resistance group hoping to use her immunity to develop a cure for the infection. Over this journey, the two develop a strong emotional bond as they face both the horrors of the infected and the desperate
PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
lengths people take to survive.
In an interview with Variety, Pascal and Ramsey both note that they, too, felt the pain of Season 2’s estrangement. “This season was much more of an isolated one
celebrity q&a
for Ellie. It was a lonelier experience, but I don’t say that in a negative way,” Ramsey states. Pascal mirrors this sentiment, noting that “to not have them near me for every part of Season 2 felt like a cruel separation.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt
OF 9-1-1 ON
Q: Was Jennifer Love Hewitt actually pregnant while playing her character Maddie’s condition on “9-1-1” this season?
A: No, but Jennifer Love Hewitt certainly knows how to portray the situation, since she and her fellow-actor husband Brian Hallisay are the parents of a daughter and two sons. Hallisay has also been seen on “9-1-1” — now on ABC, which picked up the show after its Fox run, and Hulu — as Maddie’s abusive ex, and he also worked with Hewitt earlier on the Lifetime series “The Client List” (2012-13).
The spouses know how to involve their children in their work, since the three youngsters joined their parents in the Lifetime movie “The Holiday Junkie” last December. Hewitt was in a great position to call the shots on the casting, since in addition to starring in the film, she was its director, co-writer and one of its executive producers. (Kristin Chenoweth was heard in the picture as the late mother of Hewitt’s character.)
From what she told us at the time “The Holiday Junkie” debuted, Hewitt didn’t foresee staying with “9-1-1” this long, but she maintained that she’s happy to continue with it. She joined the show in its second season (2018-19) and it’s now in its eighth year; while a ninth season hadn’t been ordered yet at the time of this writing, that renewal would seem promising. Though “9-1-1: Lone Star” ended recently on Fox, ABC has ordered another spinoff of the parent series for next season, to be set in Nashville and star Chris O’Donnell (“NCIS: Los Angeles”).

James Van Der Beek
Q: What’s James Van Der Beek been up to lately?
A: In the past few months, “Dawson’s Creek” star and former teen heartthrob James Van Der Beek has been fighting the battle of his life, re-evaluating his place in the world and getting eliminated from “The Masked Singer” (in that order).
He revealed last year on social media that he was recovering from Stage 3 colorectal cancer and that it brought him “nose to nose with death.”
He struggled with the impact of the treatment, which prevented him from doing everything he values in life:
caring and providing for his family and tending to the sprawling Texas ranch they moved to in 2020. Thankfully, he’s recovering now. He showcased that recovery in an appearance on “The Masked Singer” just a few weeks ago, being revealed as the singer in the griffin costume. His wife and kids surprised him on stage afterward, and the emotion of that moment makes more sense when you know about the year that led up to it.
He said that he moved his family to Texas to get them closer to nature and away from the bright lights of Los

OF THE REAL FULL MONTY ON FOX
Angeles. But he clearly hasn’t lost his own taste for the city. He’s still acting occasionally, having appeared in last year’s youth-focused rom-com “Sidelined: The QB and Me,” and done an even more brief cameo in an episode of CW’s “Walker” last summer. He also appeared last year in Fox’s “The Real Full Monty,” a special based on the popular stage play about a group of regular guys who become strippers for a good cause. In this case, the regular guys were famous actors and the cause was cancer awareness. Van Der Beek booked the gig before revealing his own diagnosis.

Q: Why haven’t I seen the guy who played Earl’s brother on “My Name Is Earl” since? He was the best part for me.
A: You may have seen Ethan Suplee since “My Name Is Earl” ended in 2009 but just not recognized him. He said that’s been a surprising curse of getting healthier.
Suplee has admitted that he became known, to put it bluntly, as a fat actor. So when, after “My Name Is Earl,” he decided to lose weight and get fit — and more importantly, once he succeeded, dropping 200 pounds from his peak weight — it actually cost him roles.
“I found that people were like, ‘Who are you? We don’t know you. You’re this new person,’” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2017.
Fortunately, he and Hollywood both adjusted. So now Suplee is an incredibly fit bodybuilder who’s also acting steadily again.
Most recently, he appeared last year in the Prime series “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh,” which was unfortunately canceled after one season. He also appeared last year in the oddball indie comedy “Let’s Start a Cult.”
The year 2022 was his biggest one in a while. He had a role in the star-studded bigscreen comedy “Babylon” and in “Clerks III,” the latest installment in the cult-favorite film series.

Keep up with the then, now and forever of professional wrestling as brand-new episodes of “WWE LFG,” “WWE Rivals” and “WWE’s Greatest Moments” air back-to-back Sundays on A&E.
First in the ring is “WWE LFG,” which made its debut earlier this year as a replacement for “WWE NXT: Level Up.” In this high-octane series, legendary wrestlers from WWE’s past are sent to mentor the next generation of professional wrestlers, each eager to become WWE’s next big superstar. While WWE Hall of Famers and veterans alike — including Bubba Ray Dudley, the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Mickie James, CM Punk and Booker T — share their expertise, only one wrestler can earn the ultimate “LFG” prize: a contract for pro wrestling TV program “WWE NXT.”

Finally, wrestling fans can end their weekend with the latest installment of “WWE’s Greatest Moments.” Still in its first season, this fledgling series travels through time as it showcases iconic moments from WWE history, speaking with those involved as they review unforgettable moments from their wrestling careers. So far, episodes have featured the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Owens and Michael Cole, who discuss everything from the founding of “WWE Monday Night Raw” in 1993, to the emergence of the New World Order, to Mr. T’s iconic leap from television to the ring.
Celebrate impressive newcomers, mourn fallen friendships and travel through time with brand-new episodes of “WWE LFG,” “WWE Rivals” and “WWE’S Greatest Moments,” airing backto-back this Sunday, April 13, on A&E.
