<p>COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Opening batter Pathum Nissanka scored more than 150 runs in consecutive test matches as Sri Lanka strengthened its hold on the second cricket test, taking a 151-run first-innings lead at lunch on the third day.</p>

<p>Bangladesh bowlers took four wickets in the first session to regain some control. Replying to Bangladesh's first-innings score of 247 all out, Sri Lanka reached 401 for six at the lunch break.</p>

<p>Sri Lanka resumed on the third day at 290 for two with Nissanka unbeaten on 146 batting with night watchman Prabath Jayasuriya.</p>

<p>Nissanka followed his 187 in the first test in Galle with a brilliant 158 which included 19 boundaries off 254 deliveries in an innings lasting more than six hours.</p>

<p>A second new ball taken by Bangladesh after 80 overs on Friday produced quick results when Nissanka stepped out and played a defensive shot against left-arm spinner Taijul Islam which resulted in a straight-forward catch to Anamul Haque at short cover.</p>

<p>Taijul returned to dismiss Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva (7) cheaply. His sliding delivery went straight and trapped de Silva lbw.</p>

<p>Jayasuriya was out for 10 after occupying the crease for 39 balls in 75 minutes, making good of his role in shielding the regular batters overnight. Jayasuriya was caught at slip by Mehidy Hasan Miraz off fast bowler Nahid Rana.</p>

<p>Kamindu Mendis and Kusal Mendis shared a 49-run partnership in trying to stall a potential slide before offspin bowler Nayeem Hasan bowled Kamindu Mendis for 33.</p>

<p>At the lunch break, Kusal Mendis was batting on 42 with rookie allrounder Sonal Dinusha on eight.</p>

<p>Taijul was the pick of Bangladesh bowlers, taking three wickets for 114 runs while Hasan had two wickets.</p>

<p>The first test in Galle ended in a draw.</p>

<p>'Dukes of Hazzard' Actor Richard Hurst Dead at Age 79 originally appeared on Parade.</p>

<p>Former Dukes of Hazzard star Richard Hurst has died at the age of 79, his ex-wife confirmed.</p>

<p>Hurst's first wife, Candace Kaniecki, told TMZ that Hurst passed away on Thursday, June 26, in Los Angeles. His cause of death is currently unclear, and Kaniecki said that his passing was unexpected.</p>

<p>Hurst was best known for playing Boss Hogg's cousin Deputy Cletus Hogg on the CBS series The Dukes of Hazzard from 1980 until 1983. He also reprised the role in The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! in 1997 and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzardin Hollywood in 2000.</p>

<p>The late actor's other memorable roles include Earl on Bea Arthur's short-lived series Amanda's, as well as appearances in films including The Karate Kid Part III (1989), Steel Magnolias (1989), Venomous (2001) and Return of the Killer Shrews (2012).</p>

<p>Hurst is survived by his sons Ryan Hurst and Collin Hurst.</p>

<p>He previously reunited with his Dukes of Hazzard co-stars John Schneider, Catherine Bach, Tom Wopat, Byron Cherry and Jeff Altman at the Gallatin Comic Con 2023 in Tennessee in 2023.</p>

<p>At the time, the group seemed open to revisiting their characters from the beloved show in a potential revival. "As far as a Dukes reunion, anything is possible," Bach, 71, told Fox News Digital at the time.</p>

<p>The Dukes of Hazzard has had a lasting legacy since the last time the original cast worked together. In fact, the series inspired The Dukes of Hazzard movie in 2005 and a direct-to-video prequel called The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning in 2007.</p>

<p>Shortly after news broke his his passing, several fans took to social media to express their sadness. "We're heartbroken to announce that Rick Hurst, Cletus, has passed away," a Dukes of Hazzard fan account wrote via X. "He was so kind to me when I visited the reunion sets and whenever we saw him at events. Please share your memories and keep the family in your thoughts and prayers."</p>

Rebekah Del Rio, ‘Mulholland Drive’ Singer Who Performed ‘Llorando’ in David Lynch Classic, Dies at 57

• Rebekah Del Rio, 'Mulholland Drive' Singer Who Performed 'Llorando' in David Lynch Classic, Dies at 57</p>

<p>J. Kim MurphyJune 27, 2025 at 12:34 AM</p>

<p>Rebekah Del Rio, a singer-songwriter who achieved cinematic legend with her performance of "Llorando" in David Lynch's 2001 opus "Mulholland Drive," died June 23 at her residence in Los Angeles. She was 57 years old.</p>

<p>Del Rio's death was confirmed through the Los Angeles Coroner's Office. No further details about her death are currently available.</p>

<p>David Lynch's Red Director Chair Stops by Variety's Office Ahead of Live Auction</p>

<p>Lynch was first introduced to Del Rio by their mutual CAA agent Brian Loucks in the mid-'90s. The singer was working under a country record deal in Nashville, Tenn., which she had landed off of her recording of "Llorando," a Spanish-language cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying." Upon their meeting, Lynch asked Del Rio to perform the number and covertly recorded her. The performance became the basis for the Club Silencio scene, an addition by Lynch to his by-then-rejected ABC pilot "Mulholland Drive," which he was reworking into a feature film.</p>

<p>The Silencio sequence marks a reality-shattering crescendo to Lynch's film — and an emotional outburst, with leads Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring both bursting into tears while viewing Del Rio's performance in the cavernous club. While the sequence ends with Del Rio's character fainting, revealing that she had been lip-syncing, the singer belted out the number for every take while filming.</p>

<p>"There were many takes. And with every take, I sang along, because I felt I had to produce that same feeling with the vibrato in my throat so the audience could see it," Del Rio told IndieWire in a 2022 interview. I also wanted the beautiful girls in the balcony, [the film's stars] Laura Harring and Naomi Watts, to experience it live. They were present while I was doing my scene, so I sang to them."</p>

<p>The brief but memorable performance put Del Rio on the map in the film industry. She was called upon by writer-director Richard Kelly for his star-studded 2006 sci-fi dystopia "Southland Tales," in which Del Rio sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" during an apocalyptic final act. Her vocals can also be heard on the soundtracks for "Sin City," "Man on Fire" and "Streets of Legend."</p>

<p>Del Rio's connection to Lynch continued through the rest of the filmmaker's career. (Lynch died in January at the age of 78.) She performed alongside Moby in one of the episode-capping roadhouse sequences of Showtime's revival series "Twin Peaks: The Return." She also joined for touring performances of The Red Room Orchestra Plays the Music of Twin Peaks over recent years. Less than two weeks before her death, Del Rio performed live at a charity event "Mulholland Drive" screening at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>Born July 10, 1967 in Chula Vista, Calif., Del Rio began performing in San Diego before moving to Los Angeles. She had a son, Phillip C. DeMars, in 1986. DeMars died in 2009 at the age of 23.</p>

Beloved ’90s Singer Says Viral Animal Commercial From 20 Years Ago Is ‘Painful’ to Watch

<p>-

• Beloved '90s Singer Says Viral Animal Commercial From 20 Years Ago Is 'Painful' to Watch</p>

<p>Isabella TorregianiJune 27, 2025 at 1:10 AM</p>

<p>Rob Verhorst/Redferns</p>

<p>Beloved '90s Singer Says Viral Animal Commercial From 20 Years Ago Is 'Painful' to Watch originally appeared on Parade.</p>

<p>If you had a TV in your home in 2007, chances are you remember Sarah McLachlan's heartbreaking ASPCA commercial — the one with abused animals flashing across the screen as her song "Angel" plays in the background.</p>

<p>The ad became unforgettable, but for McLachlan, 57, it's a memory she'd rather forget.</p>

<p>Speaking with Rolling Stone, the Grammy-winning artist reflected on how it all came together. A friend of hers, who served on the board of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approached her about doing a commercial.</p>

<p>At the time, the ASPCA had never used a celebrity before — but they figured they'd give it a try. "I love animals, and we thought it might be a cool thing to do, so I did it," she said on Thursday, June 26.</p>

<p>The iconic commercial shows a tear-jerking montage of injured and abandoned animals, with McLachlan urging viewers to "be an angel for a helpless animal" and sign up for monthly donations.</p>

<p>While it raised a whopping $30 million the year it aired, McLachlan admits it's tough for her to watch.</p>

<p>"The music and the visuals… it's painful," she said. "I couldn't watch it. It was just like, 'Oh God, this is awful.'"</p>

<p>Still, she acknowledged, "It worked like a hot damn." Despite the success, the Canadian singer said the ad didn't reflect her true personality.</p>

<p>"I'm a super-happy, super-optimistic person. That showed me as this sort of quiet, sad person with all my puppies and kittens," she recalled. "I'll never forget the director saying, 'I just need a little more [makes a sad face] from you.'"</p>

<p>More than 15 years later, McLachlan finally got the chance to poke fun at the ad — including during a Super Bowl spot for Busch Light.</p>

<p>"When I got the opportunity to take the piss out of it, with the Audi commercial and the Super Bowl [Busch Light] commercial, that was just gleeful for me," she said with a laugh.</p>

<p>Sad animal ads may no longer be in her future, but McLachlan's legacy as the face of one of the most emotional PSAs ever lives on — whether she likes it or not.</p>
