Fresh from a stint on Broadway, J.B. Mauney and the Professional Bull Riders are in Las Vegas for the 17th annual PBR World Finals, which begin at 6 p.m. today with a new five-day, championship format.

Five riders tied for the round victory in the Professional Bull Riders World Finals on Saturday — a first in the 16-year history of the series.

Hollywood stunt double Kathy Jarvis jumped off an 80-foot cliff for “Six Days, Seven Nights” and staged a fight in “The Big Lebowski.” She’s put life and limb at risk for cinematic brawls, blasts and blazes.
