President Donald Trump gave Nicki Minaj an eyebrow-raising shout-out during the White House Rose Garden luncheon. “We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense,” Trump, 80, told the Monday, July 6, event crowd, while speaking about the rapper, 43. “She’s a fantastic person and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody and she’s got real talent: Nicki Minaj,” he continued. The president then prompted Minaj to “stand up, please,” adding that she is “such a great person and…

Noah Kahan wrapped a Cincinnati stop on his tour this week and couldn’t keep quiet about what he witnessed. The crowd was drenched. The venue was hot. Those people sang every single word back to him anyway. He posted to Instagram after the show with a message that skipped the usual hype. “Cincinnati you were soaked in sweat and you still sang every word,” Kahan wrote. Then came the part that really landed: “Love you all so much I can’t believe I get to do this every night.” That line hits different. Not the standard “Cincinnati you were AMAZING!” energy…

South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix, rival to Samsung and U.S.-based Micron, is planning to sell nearly 17.8 million shares in a U.S. IPO, the company said on Monday. Should its shares sell well (and there’s indication that they will), the company could raise around $28 billion, based on SK Hynix’s closing share price last Friday in Seoul, Bloomberg reports. SK Hynix will be offering American depositary receipts (ADRs), a type of certificate that lets U.S. investors buy a foreign stock without trading directly on an overseas exchange. Each ADR will represent a tenth of a common share. It is…

Roberto Martinez has confirmed his resignation as Portugal coach following their last-16 exit at the World Cup. Portugal produced an uninspiring performance as a 91st-minute Mikel Merino winner saw Spain beat their Iberian neighbours 1-0 and set up a quarter-final with the United States or Belgium. Defeat for Portugal ended the World Cup career of Cristiano Ronaldo, the 41-year-old having been a largely peripheral figure in his final game on the biggest stage. Ronaldo announced on Sunday that his sixth World Cup would be his last. And after failing to keep their hopes of a first world title alive, Portugal…

The Giants have claimed right-hander Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The Royals designated him for assignment last week. Cerantola has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento, so they don’t need a corresponding move to open an active roster spot. San Francisco also outrighted reliever Gregory Santos off the 40-man roster after getting him through waivers. Cerantola, 26, has a very limited big league track record. He made his debut with the Royals this year and currently has 5 1/3 innings under his belt. Since he allowed six earned runs in that small sample,…

The USA can move into the World Cup quarter-finals for just the second time when they face Belgium in Seattle tonight. Mauricio Pochettino’s side have impressed so far and go into the game as favourites despite Belgium having the greater tournament pedigree. The Red Devils left it late to beat Senegal in the round of 32, coming from 2-0 down to win it in the final minute of extra-time thanks to Youri Tielemans’ dubious penalty. The USA had a more straightforward route to this stage, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 despite the 64th-minute dismissal of star striker Folarin Balogun. Where…
