I'm My Own Prophet

Shailene Woodley had one strict requirement when it came to her romantic interest in Divergent. And fortunately, it seemed that her co-star Theo James ended up ticking off all the boxes. Woodley and James turned out to be the perfect pairing for the popular Divergent series. But before he was cast, Woodley already had an idea of what she wanted her ideal love interest to be like. "The thing about Four is that he has to be a man. No feminine actors, please," Woodley once told MTV News. "You cannot walk in that room in pretty little boots and pretend you're a man. I'm sorry." Woodley felt the masculine quality she was looking for needed to be instinctive, which went beyond just looking strong. "You need to walk in there, and you need to not have muscles that look good and not actually work. There have been a few guys that have this power about them. It's a natural masculine power that some people have and some people don't. There's nothing...

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Once upon a time, the moderates, the mavericks and the underdogs in presidential politics had a chance to break through in New Hampshire. Former Sen. John McCain, an independent-minded Republican, resurrected his anemic campaign with a victory in the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary in 2008. Bill Clinton, a centrist Democrat from Arkansas, became the "comeback kid" by exceeding expectations here in 1992. And little-known Georgia peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter, would go on to claim the presidency after winning the state's 1976 Democratic primary. But this year, New Hampshire's primary tradition may be little more than a fairy tale as the presidential field largely overlooks the Granite State. Democratic officials, who have rallied behind President Joe Biden, have already decided to bypass New Hampshire in favor of South Carolina. And the crowded Republican field is focusing its money, time and attention on Iowa, betting big that t...

The Ravens and Bengals are just 24 hours away from their first season meeting on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense will look to get back on track after just 82-yards passing in Week 1 during a loss to the Browns. They'll look to continue improving offensively in Baltimore under first-year coordinator Todd Monken. With preparation for Week 2 now complete, here are five matchups to watch when the Ravens are on offense. Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will get elevated roles in the Baltimore Ravens' backfield, and they'll face a Cincinnati linebacker group that combined for 19 stops in Week 1 at Cleveland, with Pratt adding in a sack while also forcing a fumble that ended a Browns drive. Bengals nose tackle D.J. Reader is a dominant player, and he'll face a Ravens team without starting cetner Tyler Linderbaum, who out with an ankle sprain, that task will likely fall largely on Sam Mustipher. Awuzie played 43 defensive snaps in his first gam...

Economist and gold bug Peter Schiff believes inflationary pressure hasn't been contained yet and has further legs to play out. What Happened: Following this week's inflation reports that showed a spike in pricing pressure due to higher energy prices, Schiff shared a stark warning to unsuspecting investors. "Investors who have closed their eyes and expect inflation to slow down are in for a rude awaking," he said Friday in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Explaining his rationale, Schiff said Americans have lot of debt and use a lot of energy. Additionally, both bond yields and oil prices have been steadily increasing, he noted. "Not only are those gains likely to continue but accelerate," he said. Why It's Important: The U.S. national debt has ballooned to about $33 trillion, and the country has been living beyond its means every year since 2001. Congressional Budget Office's estimates released in June showed federal debt held by public equaling 98%...
