Chicago Cubs - Baseball franchise : The difficulty of getting Mitch Moreland in the lineup

Chicago Cubs - Baseball franchise : The difficulty of getting Mitch Moreland in the lineup Columnist Kevin Sherrington chatted with readers before Game 2 of the ALDS between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays live from Toronto. Some excerpts:

The difficulty of getting Mitch Moreland in the lineup

Moreland needs to be on the field. Can he play any other positions?
Sherrington: Came up as an OF and was converted to 1B. Problem is his history of leg injuries. You're risking a lot with him running around out there.

Any concerns with Tolleson not pitching the 9th inning yesterday?

Sherrington: Not really, although it's a legitimate question. The good news for the Rangers is that Tolleson is a great teammate and very humble. He had all the right answers yesterday. The only concern is whether it leads to him losing his confidence. But the overriding concern at this point is winning games in the postsason. Trumps all.

What are the keys for the Rangers today?

• Chicago Cubs - Baseball franchise
• Pittsburgh Pirates - Baseball Team

RANGERS RETURN TO THE POSTSEASON

Sherrington: If Hamels can limit them early, and the Rangers can make Stroman work extra early, it plays heavily into the Rangers' favor. Stroman's a very emotional pitcher, and this is his first postseason. They need to be patient. Banister says all relievers will be available because of light load Thursday. Hamels needs to go six, at least. If he does that, good chance the Rangers go home needing just one game.

Video - Victoria’s Secret slammed for allegedly retouching lingerie model’s curves away

Video - Victoria’s Secret slammed for allegedly retouching lingerie model’s curves away

VICTORIA’S Secret’s “Truly. Madly. Cheeky” lingerie ads have some social media users getting red in the face at the global brand for allegedly airbrushing the already thin model’s curves away. The comment section below the VS photo in question has dozens of comments like, “Horrible, horrible photoshopping. Completely unnecessary, Victoria’s Secret. Wishing you would learn from Aerie. Yes another reason I (along with MANY others) will never shop from you guys ... Times are changing; it’s time you guys caught up. #NotBuyingIt.”

It’s not just consumers ‘not buying it.’ Model Molly Fletcher told FOX411 she laughed when she saw the image. “This photo actually made me laugh the first time I saw it. There’s light retouching that usually happens on all photos which is understandable, however, this goes way too far.” Fletcher added the image “isn’t even about representing an attainable size, it’s more like a really poor retouching job.”

But Craig Lawrence, President of ONE.1Management, disagrees with the photo’s critics. “The photo does not look retouched as the girl does not look too thin,” Lawrence said. “I think the photo is very alluring and sexy, which is what VS is trying to achieve.”

Lawrence defends the VS’s fantasy image against claims that the brand should use more “real, curvier” models.

“VS has always been, and will always be about fantasy. As much as lingerie companies are following the trend, and are featuring curvier girls, VS has been one of the brands to use girls that are very relevant in high fashion.”

Robert Casey, President of Maggie Inc, says the photo indeed has poor photoshopping, but does not agree that VS has to change their marketing strategy.

“There are plenty of lingerie companies that depict a range of sizes in their advertising; the lingerie market has been one of the first and most successful areas of the industry for curvy models,” he said. “Victoria’s Secret’s entire brand is fantasy, and they’ve been wildly successful as a result.”

Jack Dorsey Will Return As Twitter Permanent CEO For Second Time

Jack Dorsey, 38, the former CEO of Twitter and one of the founders of the site, is taking over once again as chief executive, according to an announcement today from Twitter. Dorsey's appointment to his old position comes three months after Dick Costolo stepped down from the top job. Dorsey will also continue to serve as CEO of mobile payments company Square. Costolo, who served on the board during the transition process, is stepping down from the position today.

When Twitter's board began its search for a full-time CEO, it focused its search on finding someone who could devote all of their time to the position. After interviewing candidates and seeing Dorsey's success balancing his duties at Square and Twitter, it became apparent he was the right person for the job, said Peter Currie, who headed the search committee.

Jack Dorsey Will Return As Twitter Permanent CEO For Second Time

"Over time, it became clear to us that Jack was not only meeting but surpassing our expectations of him as interim C.E.O. while running Square," he said in a call this morning with investors. Dorsey was previously chief executive of Twitter in its early days until co-founder Evan Williams replaced him in 2008. At that time, Dorsey took Williams' role as board chairman. With his return to Twitter, Dorsey will serve as chief executive while the board vets candidates for the chairman role.

While Dorsey wasn't initially expected to take over as permanent CEO, it was almost as if the entrepreneur was describing himself when he talked in a conference call with investors about what attributes the next CEO would need to have.

As a committee vetted internal and external candidates for the job, Dorsey said it was vital whoever takes the reins is "someone who uses and loves the product in every single way." "Despite all we have accomplished, the company still has huge unmet potential," he said.

Stepping in full-time, Dorsey will be under immense pressure from investors to rise to that challenge. With more than 300 million monthly active users, Twitter has tremendous reach but has lagged in attracting and retaining new users, who in turn entice businesses to advertise on Twitter and drive revenue. 

"The opportunity is absolutely massive. The intention is to certainly bring it to everyone around the world," Dorsey said this summer. "If we build a product people love and value, advertisers and users will follow."

Demi Lovato poses for 'spontaneous' nude Midnight Photoshoot for Vanity Fair in Manhattan Hotel Room

Demi Lovato has bared her soul - and a lot more - in a new Vanity Fair photoshoot. The 23-year-old singer was photographed by Patrick Ecclesine at a Manhattan hotel at the end of last month. In a post on the Vanity Fair website, Ecclesine describes how a vulnerable Lovato was still in mourning after the death of her great-grandfather the day before.

Confident, indeed: Demi Lovato stripped down for a stunning Vanity Fair shoot to promote body confidence which was revealed on Friday But the grief inspired her to take the plunge and do the soul-baring shoot, with three rules; no clothes, no make-up and no retouching. Lovato, whose album Confident is released on October 16, told the publication: 'If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past day, it’s that life is too short.' Ecclesine admitted that Lovato's team were initially concerned, because Lovato's great-grandfather Buddy Moore - who died at the end of last month - was such an integral part of her life.

She went on: 'I want to show the side of me that’s real, that’s liberated, that’s free. 'What if we do a photoshoot where it’s totally raw? Super-sexy, but no make-up, no fancy lighting, no retouching, and no clothing. Let’s do it here, let’s do it now.' Ecclesine noted it was half past midnight when the singer de-robed for the shoot, which includes a nude snap of her sat with back-turned to the camera while sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

In another, the make-up free singer cups her chest while sitting in a bath full of water. There is also a shower scene photo, where Demi stands under the water while wearing a clinging black T-shirt. The shoot took place at the Greenwich Hotel and, as Ecclesine described: 'Lovato and I worked in near silence, making our way through the hotel room, communicating with subtle gestures, nods, and tilts of the head.'

Go Back to Black in a Simple Bikini like Lindsay's

Go back to black in a simple bikini like Lindsay's Scott Disick has a new squeeze and it's blonde bombshell Lindsay Vrckovnik pictured here. The pretty model joined Kourtney Kardashian's ex on the beach and the two looked pretty close for comfort to say the least! 

As Lindsay enjoyed her relaxing break in Miami, she showed off her super flat tum and long pins in that tiny black bikini.

A dark coloured two-piece is always the most flattering pick, not that Lindsay needs any help on that front. But for the rest of us who don't boast model figures, black swimwear is always a winner with its slimming properties. 

We love the scallop, frill aspects of Lindsay's pick and if you do too, why not head below to snap up something similar? Marysia's little number is a full set, but at £210 it's hardly a budget buy.

The blonde looked to be in deep thought as she frolicked alone in the waters

The pair then kept the party going at a friend's house, before stopping by 1OAK nightclub and finishing up their wild night at Soho House, before emerging at dawn. It's thought Scott's love of partying is what prompted the end of his nine-year relationship with Kourtney. In a preview clip for Keeping Up With The Kardashians' 11th season, Kourtney - who is currently in Los Angeles with the children - can be seen breaking down in tears as she learns of Scott's tryst with Chloe Bartoli.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and Lindsay fuelled dating rumours when they were seen leaving Trump Soho together on Wednesday afternoon. They then visited a bar in the Big Apple's East Village area, where Scott was spotted knocking back pints of beer. The blonde kept close to him at all times, and they were seen laughing and joking around together.

Miley Cyrus' Raciest Outfits

She’s come in like a wrecking ball on Saturday Night Live before. Miley Cyrus returns to the sketch comedy show tonight, Oct. 3, for her third time as host.

2. VMAs backstage with Vanessa Bayer

During her second time hosting in 2013, Cyrus joked about her controversial performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where she got up close and very personal with with Robin Thicke and a foam finger. Bayer portrayed the “old” Miley and poked fun at “new” Miley’s twerking. The best part? When Bayer gave Cyrus an American Girl Molly doll, alluding to the drug reference in her 2013 hit “We Can’t Stop.” Oh, adults. "WATCH VIDEO "

3. Justin Bieber impressions

In a simpler time, back in 2011, Justin Bieber was best known for rocking his purple hoodie and his long shaggy hair. Cyrus did a dead-on spoof of the “What Do You Mean?” singer by doing the “wink, cocky head nod, point” that the Biebs was so fond of doing back then. "WATCH VIDEO "

4. Fifty Shades of Grey audition

The “Party In the USA” singer hilariously dressed up as Scarlett Johansson to do a mock audition for the hit movie, along with Taran Killam as Christoph Waltz. Honestly, she was kinda perfect. "WATCH VIDEO "

5. Performing “Wrecking Ball”

Dressed in black and chains, Cyrus absolutely killed it during her performance of her smash 2013 single. Pop perfection, and it showed just how strong of a singer Cyrus really is. "WATCH VIDEO "
