Top Players

Seum Kwon, Asia-Pacific
During Saturday's international championship, Seum Kwon was at it again, launching a two-run homer in the top of the second to put his team up 4-1. 
It was his third home run in two games after belting a pair against Mexico on Thursday. 
He's also driven in six RBI, building up his average to .455. But what's been most impressive is his ability to put the ball in play. 
In his five games at Williamsport, Kwon has a contact rate of 81.8 percent, which has made him a valuable asset in the middle of Asia-Pacific's lineup. 
In order for South Korea to take home a Little League title, Kwon will have to be as solid as he's been over the past week. 
    
Jude Abbadessa, Mid-Atlantic
When it comes to getting New York's offense started, look no further than Jude Abbadessa. 
The young man who is capable of pitching and playing second base and shortstop also holds his lineup's most dangerous bat. 
In his 14 at-bats in the Little League World Series, Abbadessa is batting .571 (eight hits) with one home run and eight RBI. 
Those runs batted in have also come in some clutch situations, as six of them have been with two outs. 
On top of that, he's remained consistent, as his quality at-bat rate is at 64.29 percent. 
So when it comes down to crunch time and Abbadessa steps up to the plate, expect a battle on such a big stage.

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

At the  2016 Billboard Music Awards  Sunday, the 48-year-old diva brought down the house with her cover of  Queen 's "The Show Must Go On." Celine received a standing ovation inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and to top it off, she received the ICON Award from her 15-year-old son,  René-Charles Angélil . A surprised and emotional Celine thanked her fans, family, children, and "most importantly," her late husband  René Angélil , "who I know will continue to watch over me from above." Celine added, "René, this one's for you. The show must go on." Celine then made her way backstage to do interviews, but paused to watch  Madonna  and  Stevie Wonder 's tribute to  Prince . She danced, sang along and snapped her fingers as they performed"Nothing Compares 2 U" (which Prince wrote  Sinéad O'Connor ) and "Purple Rain." Afterward, C...
