Jim Gaffigan, .38 Special to perform at The Ledge, tickets on sale

Since it opened five years ago, theLedge Amphitheaterhas become an entertainment mecca in central Minnesota, drawing attendees from across the region, country and world. Two new acts were recently announced: comedian Jim Gaffigan and .38 Special.

As summer rolls along,Gaffiganis in town July 19.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan will perform July 19 at the Ledge Amphitheater in Waite Park.

The 60-year-old comedian is touring the country, from June 4 onward, including through this autumn and into the holiday season. The Chicago-area native has been doing standup since the early 1990s. He's also been in several movies, television shows, commercials, and a USO Tour.

Gaffigan’s material often addresses fatherhood, laziness, religion, and food . He is considered a "clean" comedian, seldom using profanity during his performances. The several successful comedy specials he has released have all received Grammy nominations, while "The Jim Gaffigan Show" — a sitcom about a couple raising five children in a New York City apartment — began in 2015 and lasted two seasons. Gaffigan has a degree from Georgetown and is married with five children.

Gaffigan appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in 2024 to portray then-Democratic nominee for vice president and current Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. He credits David Letterman and Bill Murray as influences.

.38 Special will perform Aug. 15 at the Ledge Amphitheater in Waite Park.

.38 Special heads to the Ledge

In addition,.38 Special,a southern rock band, comes north Aug. 15. Formed in North Florida, they have been playing music for more than a half century.

They are known for hit songs, such as "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up in You," among various other top 40 hits, primarily during the 1980s and 1990s. The band’s highest-charting U.S. hit is the 1989 ballad "Second Chance," which peaked higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than their other songs.

Guitarist/singer Donnie Van Zant — who was part of the band for nearly four decades until 2013 — is the younger brother of Lynyrd Skynyrd co-founder and frontman Ronnie Van Zant.

Current members of .38 Special include Don Barnes, Bobby Capps, Barry Dunaway, Gary Moffatt and Jerry Riggs. Just last summer, the band announced the release of their first album in 21 years, titled "Milestone."

Located between two quarries several miles to the west of St. Cloud, the Ledge Amphitheater has a capacity of up to 6,000 guests for outdoor entertainment. The must-see destination preserved its granite history by transforming an abandoned quarry into a park. It welcomes several music concerts per year along with comedians, movies, community events, vendor shows, and many other acts and performances.

With the Ledge’s 2026 lineup expecting to be among the best yet, a new season of talent across genres starts soon, when country rock singer Brantley Gilbert comes to Waite Park on May 22.

The Ledge’s box office is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday and is located at 1700 Parkway Drive in Waite Park. Tickets are also available through the venue's website,www.theledgeamp.com/.

Lindsey Vonn nominated to US ski team for next season as she faces long recovery from Olympic crash

It's easy to read something into this:Lindsey Vonnwas among the 48 athletes nominated Wednesday to the U.S. Alpine ski team for the upcoming season.

2026 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala

For the moment, that's just a formality based on results.The 41-year-old Vonnis still at least a year and a half — along with an ACL surgery — away from even thinking about returning to the World Cup circuit.

She may also retire. She's still sorting all of that out.

Vonn has already undergone eight surgeries since her crash in the women's downhill race on Feb. 8 at the Milan Cortina Games. She suffered a complex tibia fracture thatnearly led to amputating her left leg. Vonn was competing in the race on atorn left ACL, which she injured in a crash leading into the Winter Olympics.

The nomination process is the first phase of making the U.S. Ski & Snowboard team. Those ski racers who accept the nomination, and meet the requirements, will be officially announced to the team in October. The opening World Cup races take place with a giant slalom in Söelden, Austria, in late October.

Other athletes who were nominated include Mikaela Shiffrin, the reigning World Cup overall champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist, along with Olympic downhillchampion Breezy Johnson. On the men's side, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who capturedhis second Olympic super-G silver medalin Italy, was selected.

Paula Moltzan and Jacqueline Wiles also earned a nomination to the A-team after combining to take an Olympic bronze in the women's team combined.Johnson and Shiffrinfinished fourth in that event.Lauren Macuga is onthe nomination list, too. She missed the Milan Cortina Games after tearing her ACL.

Vonn, a three-time Olympic medalist, came out of retirement in November 2024 after nearly six years away. She was feeling healthy and strong again following a partial titanium implant in her right knee.

She found her speed, too, winning two World Cup races during the 2025-26 season and recording three other podium finishes in five races. She was leading the World Cup downhill standings before her crash at the Olympics. She wound up fifth.

Vonn, who's won 84 World Cup races, has maintained she's not ready to decide her future. Instead, she's focused on healing. Vonn recently attended theMet Gala,using only a cane.

The 2026 Met Gala Celebrating "Costume Art" - Arrivals

AsDevil Wears Prada 2makes waves in theaters—the film just hadthe biggest opening weekendfor a traditional comedy in over a decade—star Anne Hathaway is attending theMet Gala. For the“Fashion Is Art” dress code, Hathaway chose a Michael Kors gown and a Bulgari High Jewelry necklace; the Vimini necklace in yellow gold 18kt with pavé-set diamonds.

“After many, many Met Galas, this was, too me, I love this exhibit. I’ve always been very inspired by art, and I went to school with Peter McGough—we collaborated, he hand-painted Anne’s dress,” Kors revealed on the carpet. The Greek Goddess of Peace is painted on the back of her gown, as inspired by the poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn.”

Hathaway has largely stuck to a color palette of black, white, and red, over the years at the Met Gala, so tonight’s outfit fits in perfectly.

Hathaway has starred in two films with Met Gala plots: The aforementionedDevil Wears Prada 2andOcean’s 8, where the film’s key heist took place at the event.

Still, she doesn’t consider herself a fashion person. “I view myself more as a guest,” sheexplained toV Magazine. “I think it’d be an insult to someone whose education revolved around it, whose life revolves around it, who has done a full fashion cycle in multiple cities as opposed to just, like, getting invited to a show and an after-party. I think there’s a degree of stamina and schlepping involved in being a proper fashion person. I’m very grateful to be a guest. I mean, I’ve studied it, but it’s informal. I’m aware of the history. I love fashion photography. And I’ve been welcomed for a long time and been shown great kindness and generosity by people whose lives it is. But I’m an actress first.”

Victor Wembanyama sets NBA record with 11 blocks in Spurs' Game 1 matchup vs. Timberwolves

Victor Wembanyama made a historic defensive stand on Monday night to kick off the Western Conference semifinals.

Wembanyama set the NBA’s single-game postseason blocks record on Monday night in the Spurs’ Game 1 matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had 10 blocks through three quarters at the Frost Bank Center, which is something that only three others had done in league history.

He then came up with an 11th block to break the record minutes into the fourth quarter, stuffing Anthony Edwards at the rim.

Andrew Bynum, with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012, was the last player to record double-digit blocks in a playoff game. Hakeem Alajuwon and Mark Eaton are the other two.

Though now, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year stands alone atop that list. And it was only the sixth playoff game of his career.

Victor Wembanyama matches blocks record through 3 quarters

Edwards returned on Monday night after missing nine days due to a bone bruise in his left knee, which he first went down with during Game 4 of the Timberwolves’ series with the Denver Nuggets. Edwards played on a minutes restriction and came off the bench, but looked like his old self.

After a quick foul right away, he immediately made an impact. Edwards helped spark a big 12-2 burst to keep the Timberwolves out in front just barely in the opening quarter, which included burying a huge 3-pointer and then immediately letting the Spurs bench know about it.

But the Spurs never went away, and the two teams went into halftime tied up looking very level. Wembanyama had seven blocks at the break, too. Two of those came on the Timberwolves’ first two offensive possessions of the game, and two more came when he blocked Julius Randle consecutively down low to force a shot clock violation midway through the second quarter.

Though Wembanyama shined defensively, he had just six points and went 0-of-5 from the 3-point line in the first 24 minutes.

Wembanyama opened the second half with a quick left-handed dunk right through Rudy Gobert, but both teams kept going back and forth the entire third quarter. The Spurs only took a three-point lead into the final period after a wild buzzer-beater floater from KeldonJohnson.

At that point, Wembanyama had matched the league’s single-game playoff block record. That was also the most in Spurs’ franchise history.

Then just minutes into the fourth quarter, Wembanyama blocked Edwards at the rim for his 11th block to set the record. That set up a layup from De’Aaron Fox on the other end, too, which put the Spurs up by three at the time.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.

NEED TO KNOW

The Las Vegas Raiders rookie has training camp on the same day, he told reporters
Mendoza led Indiana to a national championship over the Miami Hurricanes in January

Fernando Mendozais being mindful of the optics.The rookie Las Vegas Raiders quarterback told reporters over the weekend that he’ll likely turn down the invitation to the White House when his former team, the Indiana Hoosiers, visit next week.“If it is on the first day of OTAs [organized team activities], like I said, I’m on the bottom of the totem pole here. I gotta prove myself,” Mendoza, 22,said on Saturday, May 2. “I can’t miss practice.”He added, “As a rookie, I don’t think that’s a good look. I want to try to best serve my teammates and I don't know if that'd be accomplishing that goal.”The Hoosiers, who won the national championship against the Miami Hurricanes in January,are scheduled to visitthe White House on Monday, May 11.

While his former teammates make the trip, Mendoza will be getting acclimated to the league as he prepares for his first NFL training camp later this summer.“Out of all those great milestones, I’m really happy about these past two days because it’s back to football,” he said. “Really enjoyed college, the Hoosiers were able to end off on a high point, now it’s back to the bottom of the totem pole.”

Mendoza added, “Yesterday I was like, ‘Wow, I have a lot to work on.’ Everyone here in rookie camp, these are all really, really good players, so I need to elevate my level of play when we go to OTAs next week and training camp.”Mendoza’s absence in D.C. comes after he recently chose to deviate from another tradition.

Last month, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft stayed home in South Florida with family instead of attending the draft festivities in Pittsburgh.Follow your favorite athletes on and off the field withPEOPLE's free sports newsletter— sign up now!“Pittsburgh is a great opportunity and it’s a great venue, and I’m really excited to see all the guys or most of the guys walk across the stage on Thursday night,” Mendozatold Rich Eisen onSportsCenterthree days before the draft. “However, my mom really wanted to do it at home and so did my parents, it’s a lot easier for us, especially with the family situation.”When he was selected by the Raiders with the first pick, the quarterback embraced family members — including mom Elsa, who has multiple sclerosis — who had gathered together to celebrate the big moment.

Germany Bundesliga Soccer

Phillip Tietz and Phillipp Mwene scored in the first half for Mainz to secure its place in the division next season with no concerns about relegation. Mainz had been bottom of the table with nine defeats from 13 games when it appointed Urs Fischer as coach in December.

Wolfsburg was playing at Freiburg later and could move above St. Pauli into the relegation playoff place by avoiding defeat.

The bottom two are relegated automatically, while the team that finishes third from bottom has a two-leg playoff against the third-place finisher from the second division to determine which plays in the Bundesliga next season.

Also Sunday, Haris Tabaković scored late for Borussia Mönchengladbach to clinch its survival with a 1-0 win over second-place Borussia Dortmund.

Two rounds remain after this weekend.

Bayern Munich has already won the titlewith four rounds to spare. Schalkeclinched promotionback to the division on Saturday.

Stealing the spotlight now,Irina Shaykhad everyone buzzing with a daring deep-cut swimsuit and multiple cutouts that highlighted her fierce vibe. The photo, as well as the Instagram carousel, has fans visiting the comment section to keep showering her with hype and praise.

Irina Shayk stuns in black swimsuit

Check out Irina Shayk’s latest Instagram photo below:

Shayk wore a black one-piece swimsuit that featured a deep neckline and multiple cutout details attached with hardware rings at the center. The swimsuit had a simple but stylish design that suited the beach setting well. Her pose was relaxed as she sat on a rock ledge inside a cave area, facing slightly upward. It gave the photo a calm and confident vacation feel.

Shayk’s figure was highlighted by the fitted swimsuit and seated pose, while the overall styling stayed minimal and natural. Her hair appeared pulled back or tied neatly, which kept the focus on the swimsuit and face. The background was one of the main highlights of the photo. She was surrounded by rocky cave walls with an open view of the bright blue sky above.

Braves Rockies Baseball

The Braves owned the best record in baseball at 24-10 entering Sunday's game against theColorado Rockies. But they'll have to get by for now without one of their top players.

Acuña leftSaturday night’s gamein the second inning. He was attempting to run out a ground ball before he pulled up about halfway down the base path and grabbed at his hamstring.

The five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP is batting .252 with two home runs, nine RBIs, 17 runs and a team-high seven steals. He had played in all 34 games after a torn ACL he suffered in May 2024 limited him to a combined 144 games over the past two seasons.

The Braves activated right-hander Spencer Strider from the injured list prior to Sunday's start. The 2023 All-Star was set to make his season debut after being sidelined with a strained oblique. The Braves optioned right-hander Hunter Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's game to make room for him. They also selected outfielder José Azócar's contract from the minor league club on Sunday with Acuña going on the injured list.
