Speaking from the red carpet of the film’s UK premiere, Dunst admitted to Newsweek that the depth of her character’s emotions stayed with her once the cameras stopped rolling. She said: “Whenever you’re making a film, there’s some energy that, depending on the character you’re playing, stays with you until you finish the movie. “I think that’s just a natural thing that happens in any work environment,” Dunst continued, “Certain people or things or the experience of playing someone so deeply insecure, I’d like go home and think about things more....

The Easy Answer The chance of contracting hepatitis from kissing is virtually non-existent, as hepatitis B, C and D can only be spread through blood and bodily fluids (including semen and vaginal secretions). Hepatitis A and E also don’t spread through kissing, as they are only transmitted through fecal-oral contact. The Not-So-Easy Answer Since it’s also been said that nothing in life is easy, maybe this question isn’t as simple as we’d like it to be....

Keep it simple. Avoid complicated recipes and exotic ingredients. “No respectable child would touch broccoli rabe,” says Isabella. The Gerasoles also warn against spicy ingredients like jalapeños, which can sting if children touch them and then their eyes. Make it age-appropriate. Kids can begin cooking as young as 2 or 3, but at that age it’s best to start them with foods that don’t require heat. The Gerasoles suggest dipping strawberries in sour cream and rolling them in cinnamon and brown sugar....

Last season saw both the Europa League and Champions League final competed between Premier League teams with the Reds beating Tottenham to claim the latter. Ahead of Thursday’s group draw for the upcoming Champions League campaign, Klopp stressed he sees the competition being very open and doesn’t believe English teams will be replicating their dominance for a second year. “The groups will be incredible. I have no clue who will win the Champions League,” Klopp said....

A 1-1 draw against Burnley at Anfield left the Reds without a win in their last three matches in all competitions and they face a gruelling schedule of away matches in the League Cup, Premier League and Champions League over the next few weeks. Liverpool Evens to beat Leicester Mohamed Salah’s 30th-minute goal ensured the points were shared against Burnley, who took the lead three minutes earlier through Scott Arfield, and Klopp attempted to ease the concerns of supporters who are still reeling from Liverpool’s 5-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their previous Premier League outing....

Sturridge has made just four Premier League starts this season and another four off the bench, scoring twice. Sturridge 5/4 to score v Sevilla The England international is likely to need more game time if he is to make Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad, but Klopp — whose side visit Sevilla in the Champions League on — said he wanted Sturridge focused on Liverpool. “I can imagine a player with his quality is not happy that he is not starting all the time, but that’s all,” he told UK newspapers....

The Reds have already moved to bolster their ranks in the winter scramble for fresh faces, with a record-breaking £75 million deal in place for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk. It is, however, possible that incomings will be countered by outgoings at Anfield. Philippe Coutinho continues to be heavily linked with a switch to La Liga giants Barcelona, while several others on the fringes of the fold are reported to be attracting admiring glances from afar....

The Reds will meet Eusebio Di Francesco’s men in the last four, with Bayern Munich taking on holders Real Madrid in the other match-up. Roma produced a stunning second-leg performance to knock Barcelona out at the quarter-final stage, but they were largely regarded as the preferable opponent heading into Friday’s draw in Nyon. Klopp, however, does not think anyone who watched the matches against the Catalans could consider Liverpool to be fortunate....

The Knicks will be a team of intrigue after making one of the biggest splashes in free agency, signing former Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $104 million contract after the 25-year-old had a breakout season in 2021-22. Brunson evolved into Dallas’ second-best player, averaging 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 18 playoff games in the team’s run to the Western Conference Finals. He’ll join a core group of RJ Barrett, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson as the Knicks try and return to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons....

TMZ first reported that Bryant was among those in the fatal crash.

“I’m 200th best player in the league right now," he said (via ProBasketballTalk) after Sunday’s 103-93 loss to Dallas. “I freaking suck.” MORE: Kobe Bryant vs. Air Jordan | What is wrong with James Harden? Bryant would later say, “I’m just playing like s—.” He’s not exactly wrong. The Lakers veteran has put up 51 shots, making only 16 of them (31 percent).

In Kobe Bryant’s MUSE, set to air Feb. 28, he talks about going against Jordan for the first time. For a normal person it would be difficult to go against one of your heroes, but the Lakers legend was not deterred. Bryant as a young, baby-faced rookie had the same kind of fearlessness as a 10-year veteran. That kind of mental toughness could never be taught. MORE: KOBE X blackout shoes | Kevin Durant doesn’t like media | Stephen Curry honors UNC victims...

The Dutchman was fired by the Premier League side in October after a terrible start to the campaign and has since been linked with the role at the helm of the national team, which has been vacant since Dick Advocaat’s departure at the end of their failed 2018 World Cup campaign. Koeman has been heavily linked with the Oranje job in recent years, but has stayed quiet on working with the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) until now....

Speaking ahead of the famed clash of titans, the British coach expressed doubt on the participation of just a couple of players. “Everybody’s trained well. We’ve had a tough week last week. We’ve got everyone back after the international duty and they are okay. Ivan, Plaza and Payne are all back on training. The only problem we have got is Robin Singh with a slight groin strain,” he remarked. It must be noted here that U22 player Nikhil Poojary is suffering from a bout of viral fever and has been ruled out of the match....

The hosts had not tasted defeat at RheinEnergie Stadion in the league since April 2016, but the omens were not good for them when Martinez put Carlo Ancelotti’s visiting heavyweights ahead midway through the first half, Bayern having previously gone on to win every time the former Athletic Bilbao star had struck for them in the Bundesliga. And that streak remained intact, thanks in no small part to his fellow Spain international Bernat, who afforded the visitors a comfortable two-goal cushion when he slotted home at the back post three minutes into the second half, before substitute Franck Ribery capped off the win by scoring a third in the 90th minute....

Giroud hopes of Alexis & Ozil deals The France international has clocked up a total of 274 games for the Gunners in all competitions, with a double century having now arrived in England’s top-flight.

When he’s not dunking all over fools, Porzingis is making a big statement by dropping game-winning buckets that don’t actually count.
