‘Breaking Bad’ Star Raymond Cruz Arrested For Spraying a Neighbor with Hose
‘Breaking Bad’ Star Raymond Cruz
Arrested After Hosing Neighbor

Tough break for Raymond Cruz — the actor who brought fan-fav villain Tuco Salamanca to life — ’cause cops hauled him in this morning on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … someone called the police claiming Cruz assaulted their daughter — allegedly spraying her with a garden hose.
A source familiar with the case tells TMZ … Cruz was washing his car and asked the girl to move out of the way after she parked right up on his car. She allegedly got sprayed as he continued to wash — and believed he did it on purpose.
The incident went down outside Cruz’s home in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles.
He’s now at the station, and getting processed.
Since it’s a misdemeanor arrest, the case would be handled by the L.A. City Attorney. So far, no charges have been filed. With minor infractions, the City Attorney often defers prosecution and holds an office hearing, where the alleged offender is warned and sometimes agrees to anger management courses in exchange for dropping the charges.
Cruz has also racked up credits on long-running shows like The Closer and Major Crimes, making him a steady face in the TV crime world.
A rep for the actor declined comment.
Who is Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old Brit who just made Emmys history?published at 05:56 BST
Moment Owen Cooper becomes youngest ever male Emmy winner
With his performance in Netflix’s hard-hitting drama Adolescence, Owen Cooper, 15, has become the youngest ever male Emmy winner.
The Warrington-born actor was only 14 when the four-part British series was filmed.
Adolescence shows the aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl, with a 13-year-old boy from her school arrested for her murder. But what won it sweeping critical acclaim was its exploration of social media-fuelled misogyny among teenage boys.
And Cooper, who plays the young suspect Jamie, delivers what critics described as an “astonishing” and “truly remarkable performance”.
In a Netflix interview, casting director Shaheen Baig recalled seeing Owen’s improvised tape and thinking: “He looks great on camera, but also his improv was really smart. It felt very natural.”
Cooper first became interested in acting at around the age of 10. He attended weekly acting classes for two years in Didsbury, Manchester – though until Adolescence he did not have any TV or film credits to his name.

“I asked my mum and dad if I could start going to drama classes, and I think they were a bit shocked by it because I’ve always wanted to become a footballer,” he said in a Netflix interview.
Cooper broke the record previously held by Scott Jacoby, who was 16 years old when he won an Emmy in 1973 for That Certain Summer.

Where to watch 2025 WNBA playoffs: TV channel, live stream, bracket, schedule, scores after four games Sunday
The first day of the WNBA playoffs didn’t see any real upsets, but it was certainly not uneventful. The Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream took 1-0 leads in their respective series with decisive victories at the start of Sunday’s quadruple-header. Then we got our first overtime of this postseason as the New York Liberty pulled off a win over the Phoenix Mercury, and later in the evening the Las Vegas Aces put on a defensive clinic against the Seattle Storm.
The action will resume on Tuesday with the first batch of Game 2s.
The Minnesota Lynx entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed after being the WNBA’s most dominant team throughout the 44-game regular season. The Lynx, looking for the fifth championship in team history and their first since 2017, will have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The New York Liberty, the reigning champs, will have no such luxury as injuries and inconsistency led them to the No. 5 seed in the bracket. They are facing the Phoenix Mercury in the first round, who won’t be an easy opponent as Alyssa Thomas fights to extend her outstanding season.
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces were not playing like a championship contender early on, but A’ja Wilson made a strong push for her fourth MVP award by leading her team to a 16-game winning streak to close out the regular season with the No. 2 seed. Becky Hammon’s group is chasing its third championship in four years.
The Atlanta Dream have also exceeded expectations with successful offseason moves that included the addition of star veteran players Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner. As for the Indiana Fever, they reached the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016 and are back again despite multiple injuries to key players — including 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, who only appeared in 13 games in 2025 before announcing her season was over earlier this month.
Below is a look at the first-round matchups and the full schedule for the 2025 playoffs.

The full playoff bracket was set after the action on Thursday. Here are the four first-round matchups:
- No. 1 Lynx vs. No. 8 Valkyries
- No. 2 Aces vs. No. 7 Storm
- No. 3 Dream vs. No. 6 Fever
- No. 4 Mercury vs. No. 5 Liberty
Teams will play a best-of-three series in the first round, a best-of-five series in the semifinals, and — in a new change this year — a best-of-seven affair in the Finals.
In 2024, the first round had a 2-1 format, which meant the higher seed got the first two games at home, while the lower seed only got to host if they made it to Game 3. This year it will be a 1-1-1 format, with Games 1 and 3 hosted by the higher seed while the opponent hosts Game 2.

Stephen Colbert received a standing ovation from the crowd at Sunday’s 2025 Emmy Awards ceremony as his ‘Late Show’—whose surprise cancellation was announced by CBS earlier this year—won the “outstanding talk series” prize, in a ceremony that saw very minimal political commentary and references.

Key Facts
Colbert received his first standing ovation as he appeared on stage to present the award for the “Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series” and poked fun at his show’s cancellation, saying: “While I have your attention, is anyone hiring?”
The late-night host then shared his old headshot with actor Harrison Ford, and asked him, “Can you pass this on to Spielberg?”
Colbert and the entire team of the ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ received a standing ovation from the audience again after the show won its first “Outstanding Talk Series” Emmy—also the first time a network show has won the category, first established in 2015.
In his acceptance speech, the comedian thanked CBS for “giving us the privilege to be part of the late-night tradition, which I hope continues long after we’re no longer doing this show” and the “200 incredible professionals” who work on the show.
Colbert said in 2015 he set out to do a late-night comedy show about “love,” but at a “certain point, and you can guess when that point was, I realized that we were doing a late-night comedy show about loss.”
The late night host closed his speech saying that ten years later, “I have never loved my country more desperately,” adding: “God bless America. Stay strong, be brave.”
Were There Any Major Political Comments Made At The Emmys?
The show was light on politics, although not completely devoid of it. Hannah Einbinder, who won an Emmy for the “Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series” for her work on the show “Hacks,” closed out her acceptance speech by saying: “Fuck ICE and free Palestine!” While presenting the talk show prize, Bryan Cranston joked about “destructive woke degenerates like Tom Hanks,” appearing to mock President Donald Trump’s recent attack on the Oscar-winning actor. A few other political displays and messages were shared during the red carpet ceremony. Einbinder’s “Hacks” co-star, Megan Stalter, appeared on the red carpet with a handbag that had a sticker that read “Cease Fire!” and was wearing an “Artists4Ceasefire” pin, calling for an end to the war in Gaza. Actor Javier Bardem also wore the “Artists4Ceasefire” pin and told USA Today: “How many hundreds of thousands of dead children need to suffer for people to wake up?” Both the ceremony and red carpet, however, avoided any references to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
