Lionel Messi came close to joining Arsenal from Barcelona in 2003. Former agent Fabian Soldini has opened up on reports that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner was scouted by the Gunners, as mentioned by Arsene Wenger earlier this year.

Alyssa Mora Hulu’s “Dollface” has its Season 2 premiere on Friday, and Kat Dennings reprises her role as an ever-reluctant Jules, guided once again by the Cat Lady (a snarky cat-headed sage voiced by Beth Grant). While the first season followed Jules in her attempt to reconnect with college friends after a breakup, Season 2 takes us on the reconciled group’s sometimes-rocky-sometimes-rhapsodic ride to 30.Jules, Madison (Brenda Song), Izzy (Esther Povitski) and Stella (Shay Mitchell) navigate new jobs, new relationships and new trials in their friendship. This new stage takes them to some wild places — from tripping at a music festival to starting a bar just for women — all punctuated by the sharply observant magical realism of the show’s first season.
