Utah women's basketball team has racial insults hurled at them in Idaho

The Utah women’s basketball team changed hotels last Friday after experiencing what coach Lynne Roberts described as a series of ‘racial hate crimes’ ahead of its first-round NCAA tournament game.

Utah’s original team hotel was in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, more than 30 miles east of the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane. The NCAA and host school Gonzaga helped the Utes relocate to a Spokane hotel for the rest of their stay.

Roberts told reporters what happened on Monday night after the fifth-seeded Utes’ 77-66 second-round loss to fourth-seeded Gonzaga. The Utah coach described the incidents as “shocking” and said “no one knew how to handle it.”

“It was really upsetting,” Roberts said. “For our players and staff to not feel safe in an NCAA tournament environment, it's messed up, and so we moved hotels.”

While Roberts did not go into detail about what her team endured, Utah deputy athletics director Charmelle Greene shared specifics with KSL.com on Monday night. Greene said that while the basketball team was walking to a restaurant to have dinner, the driver of a white truck pulled up, revved his engine and yelled the N-word in the direction of the team before speeding off.

“We all just were in shock, and we looked at each other like, did we just hear that?” Green told KSL.com

The team had dinner, only to face a similar situation as it left the restaurant. This time, Greene told KSL.com, the drivers of two trucks were revving their engine in an intimidating way, while again yelling the N-word in the direction of the team.

Gonzaga condemned the incidents on Monday night, saying that the first priority is the safety and welfare of participants in the NCAA tournament.

“We are frustrated and deeply saddened to know what should always be an amazing visitor and championship experience was in any way compromised by this situation,” Gonzaga’s statement said.

The Utah women’s team originally booked a Coeur d’Alene hotel because hotel space in Spokane was limited. Spokane was a predetermined host site for the first and second round of the men’s NCAA tournament, which meant that hotel rooms for those eight teams were blocked off well in advance.

Some of those room blocks opened last Friday when the first men’s teams in Spokane were eliminated. A source familiar with the situation told Yahoo Sports that Gonzaga and the NCAA scrambled to hold those room blocks and offered them to Utah and to the other women’s team staying in Idaho.

Gonzaga had previously arranged for police escorts, the source added, to ensure that Utah’s drive time from Coeur d’Alene to the arena in Spokane did not exceed the maximum allowable time of 30 minutes. The police escorts continued after Utah moved to a Spokane hotel, according to the source.

Roberts told reporters that what her team endured made it difficult for Utah players to focus on their games against South Dakota State and Gonzaga.

“It was a distraction and upsetting and unfortunate,” she said.

America's retirement age of 65 is "crazy," BlackRock CEO says

With Americans living longer and spending more years in retirement, the nation's changing demographics are "putting the U.S. retirement system under immense strain," according to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink in his annual shareholder letter.

One way to fix it, he suggests, is for Americans to work longer before they head into retirement.

"No one should have to work longer than they want to. But I do think it's a bit crazy that our anchor idea for the right retirement age — 65 years old — originates from the time of the Ottoman Empire," Fink wrote in his 2024 letter, which largely focuses on the retirement crisis facing the U.S. and other nations as their populations age.

Fink, who is worth an estimated $1.2 billion, notes that many 65-year-olds in the early 1950s didn't get a chance to retire because many had already passed away. In other words, he writes, more than half of workers who had paid into Social Security never got a penny because they died before they could claim the benefit.

"Today, these demographics have completely unraveled, and this unraveling is obviously a wonderful thing," Fink added. "We should want more people to live more years. But we can't overlook the massive impact on the country's retirement system."

Fink's suggestions about addressing the nation's retirement crisis come amid a debate about the future of Social Security, which will face a funding shortfall in less than a decade. Some Republican lawmakers have proposed raising the retirement age for claiming Social Security benefits, arguing, like Fink, that because Americans are living longer, they should work longer, too.

But that ignores the reality of aging in the workplace, with the AARP finding in a 2022 survey that the majority of workers over 50 say they face ageism at work. And because of ill health or an unexpected job loss, many older Americans stop working before they planned to. In fact, the median age of retirement in the U.S. is 62 — even lower than the "traditional" retirement age of 65.

Fink is right in saying that the retirement system isn't working for most households, noted retirement expert and New School of Research professor Teresa Ghilarducci told CBS MoneyWatch.

But his assessment that people should work longer misses the mark, she added. Many Americans haven't been able to save for their old age, with about 3 in 10 workers age 59 or older having no money put away for retirement.

"After a 40-year-old experiment of a voluntary, do-it-yourself-based pension system, half of workers have no easy way to save for retirement," she said. "And in rich nations, why isn't age 65 a good target for most workers to stop working for someone else?"

She added, "Working longer won't get us out of this. Most people don't retire when they want to, anyway."

Vested interest?

To be sure, America's retirement gap, or the gulf between what people need to fund their golden years versus what they've actually saved, isn't new, nor is Social Security's looming funding emergency. Yet Fink's comments are noteworthy because of his status as the head of the world's largest asset manager, with more than $10 trillion in assets, including many retirement accounts.

Of course, Fink has a vested interest in Americans boosting their retirement assets, given that his firm collects fees from those accounts. And in his letter, he also promotes a new target-date fund from BlackRock called LifePath Paycheck, which will roll out in April.

"He's steering the conversation toward BlackRock — and a lot of people who talk about Social Security reform on Wall Street want to privatize it in some manner and make money," Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff, an expert on Social Security, told CBS MoneyWatch.

Gen Z Believes Men Are Being Discriminated Against More Than Boomers

Members of the Generation Z age bracket across the globe believe men are being discriminated against more than those among the Baby Boomer generation, according to a new poll.

A poll by Ipsos conducted on International Women's Day, March 8, asked respondents across 31 countries a number of questions on women's rights and gender equality among different age groups.

The poll asked respondents whether they agree or disagree with the statement that "we have gone so far in promoting women's equality that we are discriminating against men."

According to the poll, 60 percent of Gen Z men, 57 percent of Millennial men and 43 percent of male Baby Boomers agree with this statement. In comparison, among women that agree with this statement, the poll found 40 percent for Gen Z, 44 percent of Millennials and 30 percent of Baby Boomers.

3 presidents. Many stars. 1 New York fundraiser

WASHINGTON (AP) — Political donors can typically expect to see one president when they buy tickets to a reelection fundraiser, but this Thursday will give them a rare opportunity to hear from three at once.

President Joe Biden will be joined by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at Radio City Music Hall in New York City for an event that brings together more than three decades of Democratic leadership.

The fundraiser will be a gilded exclamation mark on a recent burst of presidential campaign travel. Biden has visited every political battleground in the three weeks since his State of the Union address served as a rallying cry for his reelection bid.

The New York City affair is an hours-long event with different tiers of access depending on donors’ generosity.

The centerpiece is an onstage conversation with the three presidents, moderated by late night talk show host Stephen Colbert. There’s also a lineup of musical performers — Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele — that will be hosted by actress Mindy Kaling. Thousands are expected, and tickets are as low as $225.

More money gets donors more intimate time with the presidents. A photo with all three is $100,000. A donation of $250,000 earns donors access to one reception, and $500,000 gets them into an even more exclusive gathering.

“But the party doesn’t stop there,” according to the campaign. First lady Jill Biden and DJ D-Nice are hosting an after-party at Radio City Music Hall with 500 guests.

Obama and Clinton are helping Biden expand his already significant cash advantage over Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. Biden had $155 million cash on hand through the end of February, compared to $37 million for Trump and his Save America political action committee.

"Democrats are unified and energized behind President Biden’s reelection campaign — and that will be on full display this Thursday in New York City," Kevin Munoz, a campaign spokesman, said in a statement. “Donald Trump has no juice heading into the general: Huge chunks of Republican primary voters have made clear they have no interest in voting for him this November, Republican leaders like his own vice president are openly opposing him, and even if Trump wanted to reach them (he does not!), he has no cash or energy to do so.”

Trump has kept a low profile in recent weeks, partially because of courtroom appearances for various legal cases. He is also expected to be in the area on Thursday, attending the Long Island wake of a New York City police officer who was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Queens.

His next political rally is scheduled for Tuesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Some Republican leaders have become concerned that his campaign doesn't have the infrastructure ready for a general election battle with Biden.

Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, dismissed the import of Biden's Thursday fundraiser.

“Crooked Joe is so mentally deficient that he needs to trot out some retreads like Clinton and Obama," he said.

Leon Panetta, who served in top positions under Clinton and Obama, described the fundraiser as an important moment for Biden's campaign.

“What it does, first and foremost, is to broaden and reinforce the support of all Democrats,” he said.

Panetta said Clinton and Obama, both known as effective political communicators, could help Biden develop a better pitch for his reelection.

“I can’t think of two people who would be better at putting together that kind of message," he said.

Obama's attendance on Thursday is a reminder of his role in boosting Biden's reelection. A joint fundraiser with Biden and Obama raised nearly $3 million in December. And people who served in the former president's administration are also raising money for Biden, scheduling their own event for April 11.

“Consider what you’ll donate this cycle and do it now," said an email that went out to a network of people. “Early money is far more valuable to the campaign.”

Dachshunds under threat as Germany proposes ban on breeding

Germany’s beloved sausage dog, the dachshund, could be under threat in the country, its national kennel club said Wednesday, citing a new draft law that looks to prohibit the breeding of dogs with “skeletal anomalies.”

The draft bill, published in February and currently being considered by the authorities, was introduced as part of the Animal Protection Act, which seeks to strengthen existing laws on so-called “torture breeding,” the German government said.

The document said it could ban the reproduction of breeds prone to particular problems, such as the frequent spinal issues seen in dogs with short legs and a long back.

According to the German Kennel Club (VDH), other national favorites like the German shepherd and schnauzer, and even Snoopy himself, the beagle, could also be affected.

History has seen many famous lovers of the low-slung but feisty dachshund, or “dackel” as it’s known in German.

Napoleon Bonaparte owned several dachshunds, and Germany’s last emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, had a headstone erected for his dackel, “Erdmann.”

The painter Pablo Picasso was photographed with his dachshund, Lump, who inspired the artist’s famous line drawing “Le Chien.”

A dachshund even became the first official mascot for the Olympic Games – in Germany, of course – when organizers unveiled Waldi the Dachshund for the 1972 Summer Olympics.

“The sausage dog is part of Germany’s cultural heritage,” Marion Michelet, chairwoman from the Deutscher Teckelklub Berlin-Brandenburg kennel club and owner of a dachshund called Pepper, told CNN Wednesday. “The sausage dog is not torture breeding just because it is small and has short legs.”

Michelet added that she believes “the new draft law is exaggerated… and is aimed against breeding as a whole.”

The VDH has launched a petition to save “our favorite dogs,” arguing the reform would leave too much room for interpretation in determining what constitutes a genetic defect.

As of Wednesday, the petition had attracted more than 15,000 signatures.

On its website, the VDH said that “many of the proposed changes, such as regulating the online trade in animals or taking action against illegal puppy trade, make sense.”

“However, the animal protection law contains requirements that could mean the end of many healthy dog breeds in Germany,” it added.

Michelet told CNN that the “abnormalities of the skeletal system” could be seen as a ban on breeding for “any significant size deviation from wolves,” which are the ancestor of all modern-day dogs.

Germany’s agriculture ministry denied that the new draft bill would amount to a ban on particular breeds, including the sausage dog.

“We are not seeking to ban the dachshund,” a spokesman of the agricultural ministry told CNN, adding: “What we are aiming at with this reform is a ban on torture breeding.”

The ministry said the new regulation seeks to prohibit breeding practices that inflict long–term suffering on the animals.

“We want to consistently protect animals from pain, suffering and damage,” the ministry said, adding that details of how the new regulations would work are still under discussion.

Kerstin Schwartz, a dachshund breeder and owner of 27 dogs from Brandenburg near Berlin, told CNN that the proposed reform is “outrageous.”

She argued that the kennel club she belongs to has adhered to the same breeding standards since 1888. “For 136 years we have not changed our standard breeding practices.”

“If the breeding ban happens it would have a significant impact” on dog breeders like her, she said, adding: “I hope it won’t come to that.”

Britney Spears says she’s ‘having a hard time understanding English

The woman in her is now Xila.

Britney Spears, 42, posted a long-winded summary of her recent beach vacation to Instagram Wednesday in which she bizarrely claimed she’s having trouble understanding her native language — something that happened when she changed her name on social media.

“Since I changed my name to XILA I actually am having a hard time understanding English,” she wrote.

While Spears’ Instagram handle remains @BritneySpears, the name on her account reads Xila Maria River Red. She added “Xila” in front of her Instagram moniker in February with no explanation.

In July, Spears changed her name on the social media site to Maria River Red — again giving no reason.

Some fans wondered if Spears could be releasing music under the new name, but she crushed fans’ dreams in January, claiming that she “will never return to the music industry.”

Spears did claim, however that she enjoys her work as a ghostwriter, writing tunes for other artists.

The Post has contacted a rep for Spears for comment.

Elsewhere in Wednesday’s post, the “Gimme More” songstress, whose behavior on Instagram has continued to concern fans even after the end of her 13-year conservatorship in 2021, also claimed she wants to open up about her struggles but says they’re “too offensive to share.”

“There are a lot of other things that happened on this trip that I’m not sharing as well,” she wrote about her recent days in the sun. “Nothing is what it seems sometimes!!! I portray that everything is completely perfect but trust me I’ve been through it as well and I would share those struggles but they are too offensive to share.

“It would make other people extremely sad and honestly there’s not a damn thing I can do about it,” Spears concluded. “So just know my life is not as perfect as it seems … and remember my beautiful friends you’re not alone.”

Conjoined Twin Abby Hensel Got Married in a 2021 Wedding Ceremony

Conjoined twin Abby Hensel is married.

The former TLC reality star, 34, who first gained notoriety alongside sister Brittany when the pair appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996, tied the knot with Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, in 2021, according to public records obtained by Today.

The Hensels' Facebook profile photo appears to be a wedding image, with the conjoined twins wearing a wedding dress, while Bowling, in a grey suit, stands before them holding their hand.

According to Today, the twins are now fifth grade teachers and reside in Minnesota, where they were born and raised.

Bowling’s Facebook page also features happy images of him with the twins enjoying ice cream and traveling together. Additionally, his X profile, which is linked to his Facebook account, reads, "Christian, Father, Husband, Veteran, and occasional gamer."

PEOPLE reached out to the Abby and Brittany Hensel, as well as Bowling, but did not immediately get a response.

The Hensels are dicephalus conjoined twins, a rare form of partial twinning with two heads side by side on one torso. They share a bloodstream and all organs below the waist. Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left.

Following their Oprah appearance, the Hensel's lives were documented on the TLC reality series Abby & Brittany, which followed them as they prepared to graduate from Minnesota's Bethel College and later traveled to Europe.

"People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons," the twins said in the first episode of the eight-part series, according to ABC. "But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do."

At birth, doctors presented the possibility of separating the twins. But their parents, Patty and Mike, decided against the surgery after being told there was little chance that both could survive the procedure.

“How could you pick between the two?” Mike said in a 2001 interview with TIME.

In that same interview, he also talked about the possibility of marriage one day for Abby and Brittany. At the time, the magazine reported that they were already asking their father about finding husbands someday.

Knowing that other conjoined twins have married, he thought, why not? "They're good-looking girls. They're witty. They've got everything going for them, except they're together," Mike said.

Prince William pulls out of scheduled appearance over personal matter

Since Kate Middleton returned home to Windsor to recover from abdominal surgery, Prince William has carried out select public engagements while also focusing his family. However, today the Prince was unexpectedly forced to pull out of a planned appearance at a Thanksgiving Service, with the Palace citing a personal matter as the reason.

Prince William was scheduled to join Queen Camilla and other royals for a service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor this morning to celebrate the life of King Constantine of the Hellenes, who died last January and was William’s godfather. But just before the service began Kensington Palace let reporters know that William would not be going due to a personal matter. It is understood the Prince called King Constantine’s family personally to let them know.

Given the concern over Kate and the likelihood of speculation that this could have something to do with her recovery, a Palace aide added that she “continues to be doing well.” The Princess has not been seen publicly since her surgery, which took place at the London Clinic on January 16. Her last public appearance was on Christmas Day last year when the royal family walked to church from Sandringham House.

Kensington Palace has made it clear that they do not intend to give regular updates on her recovery. They said when her surgery was announced, the day after it took place, that she was unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter. Kate has chosen not to make her condition public, with the Palace saying,"She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”

The news came at the same time as King Charles was forced to pull out of public engagements due to being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer. Queen Camilla has continued with a busy program. Prince William has carried out some engagements, including investitures, but he has modified his timetable to support his young family. His last appearance was at the BAFTAs on Sunday evening.

Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story (2024)

Jerry Seinfeld's latest vanity project is this screwball comedy set in 1963, detailing the totally fictional origin story of the Pop-Tart. Seinfeld plays an executive for Kellogg's who steers his invention through a competition with Post Cereals to see who could get a breakfast pastry to market first.

Unlike the many recent true-to-life origin stories about Beanie Babies and Flamin' Hot Cheetos, this work is entirely fictional, and based around an old joke from Seinfeld's standup career. There was no cutthroat competition to invent a toaster pastry. There was no scandal. Marjorie Post was real, but she didn't send a goon squad to beat up the pastry chefs of Battle Creek.

Supposedly 30-50% of people do not. Also referred to as “internal dialogue,” “the voice inside your head,” or an “inner voice,” your internal monologue is the result of certain brain mechanisms that cause you to “hear” yourself talk in your head without actually speaking and forming sounds.

I recently went down a Ruby Franke rabbit hole. I didn't really pay much attention to that case until a few days ago after seeing the arrest videos on YT. These two crazy bitches, that murderous Daybell cunt along with a few others make me wonder if this cult breeds people susceptible to crazy demon beliefs. I'm not picking on them solely as I'm not giving a pass to crazy dominionist and fundie bullshit either.

It does seem as if extreme religion breeds all kinds of abuse against children particularly making kids suffer to beat the evil out.

The Jerk (1979)

Navin Johnson, a homeless person sleeping in a stairwell in Los Angeles, addresses the camera directly to tell his life story.

The white adopted son of black sharecroppers in Mississippi, Navin grows to adulthood naïvely unaware of these circumstances. He is unable to dance in rhythm to the spirited folk songs played by the family, but finds that he can do so perfectly to a champagne-style song on the radio. Seeing this moment as a calling, he excitedly decides to leave home and travel to St. Louis, where the broadcast originated. Along the way, he adopts a dog and names it "Shithead" after angering the guests at a motel by waking them up in the middle of the night, having misinterpreted the dog's barking at his door as a warning of a fire.

LIFE Magazine is coming back to life

Add 'Life' Magazine to the growing list of defunct magazines getting a new lease on life ('Playgirl' included)...

More than two decades after it was shuttered by Time Inc., Life magazine will be revived.

Bedford Media, the holding company founded by model and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss and her husband, investor Josh Kushner, has acquired the publishing rights to Life from Dotdash Meredith.

Bedford says that Life will be relaunched as a print magazine, with “vibrant” digital and video presence.

“We see Life as an uplifting and unifying voice in a chaotic media landscape,” said Kloss in a statement. “While Bedford is a new media company, we are deeply inspired by Life’s iconic legacy and ability to connect diverse audiences with universal narratives of humanity.”

Dachshunds under threat as Germany proposes ban on breeding

[quote]Germany’s beloved sausage dog, the dachshund, could be under threat in the country, its national kennel club said Wednesday, citing a new draft law that looks to prohibit the breeding of dogs with “skeletal anomalies.” The draft bill was introduced as part of the Animal Protection Act, which seeks to strengthen existing laws on so-called “torture breeding.”

[quote]The document said it could ban the reproduction of breeds prone to particular problems, such as the frequent spinal issues seen in dogs with short legs and a long back. Other national favorites like the German shepherd and schnauzer, and even Snoopy himself, the beagle, could also be affected.

Illinois Supreme Court to hear Jussie Smollett appeal

The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from Jussie Smollett, the former “Empire” actor whose convictions for staging a hate crime caused fevered international media attention.

This means that the case, which has continued as Smollett fights his convictions, will carry on a little longer.

A lower appellate court affirmed his convictions for falsely reporting a hate crime to Chicago police in January of 2019 even as Smollett alleged a laundry list of violations in the case handled by special prosecutor Dan Webb after the Cook County state’s attorney’s office controversially dropped all charges.

In a 2-1 decision, the appeals court judges largely rejected the arguments, though Judge Freddrenna Lyle dissented, arguing that “Smollett gave up something of value, community service and bond forfeiture, in exchange for a nolle of the whole indictment.”

After the decision, Smollett asked the state’s high court to hear the case, a decision up to the discretion of the judges. In asking the court to review his case, Smollett had argued that the lower court’s opinion “threatens to upend all informal and formal deferred prosecution agreements.”

The case stems from a report Smollett made to police in the early hours of Jan. 29, 2019, when he said two men attacked him in the Loop, hitting him, yelling homophobic slurs and placing a noose around his neck. But in a twist that drew frenzied international attention, prosecutors charged Smollett the following month with disorderly conduct for concocting the hoax with brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, who testified that he paid them to perpetrate the attack.

About a month after prosecutors charged Smollett, they dropped all counts against him noting that he forfeited his $10,000 bond and had done community service in a move that drew sharp criticism. State’s Attorney Kim Foxx previously handed the case to deputies, saying she had recused herself.

Former Cook County Judge Michael Toomin appointed Webb, a former U.S. attorney, as special prosecutor amid scrutiny around the decision, finding that Foxx did not go through the formal process for recusing herself from the case. Webb later refiled the charges.

In his appeal, Smollett argued that Cook County prosecutors dropping the case resolved it, similar to a deferred prosecution agreement, particularly because he forfeited his bail.

Attorneys for the state, though, among other arguments, contended that prosecutors who drop charges are not precluded from refiling charges in the same case.

In the majority opinion delivered by Judge David Navarro and concurred with by Judge Mary Ellen Coghlan, the judges wrote that Smollett “challenges virtually every aspect of the second prosecution that resulted in his convictions and sentence.”

“The record does not establish that Smollett entered into a nonprosecution agreement with the (Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office), in which the (office) agreed to forgo further prosecution of him in exchange for his performance of community service and the forfeiture of his bond,” the opinion reads.

A Cook County judge had sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation and $130,160 in restitution, but his sentence is on hold while the appeal process plays out.

New York City wants to let 800,000 non-citizens vote in city elections

The New York City Council is asking the state's highest court to reverse rulings that struck down a law that would let non-citizens vote in local elections.

An appeals court in February ruled the election law, passed by the council in 2021, unconstitutional. The law would have let upwards of 800,000 green card holders vote in local elections.

"The Council passed Local Law 11 of 2022 to enfranchise 800,000 New Yorkers who live in our city, pay taxes, and contribute to our communities," council spokesperson, Rendy Desamours, said in a statement. "Today’s filing to appeal the Second Department’s recent decision seeks a determination from the state’s highest court that the law is consistent with the State Constitution, Election Law, and the Municipal Home Rule Law."

Empowering New Yorkers to participate in our local democratic process can only strengthen New York City by increasing civic engagement," he added. "We look forward to the Court of Appeals’ consideration of the Council’s appeal."

The case will head to the New York Court of Appeals.

Mayor Eric Adams, who supported the law, has not commented about the appeal. Fox News Digital has reached out to his office.

Immigration activists praised the council's decision.

This case is just one more example of how Republicans are using the courts to disenfranchise Black and Brown voters across the country."

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican who represents Staten Island, was a plaintiff in the lawsuit that got it struck down.

"There is nothing more important than preserving the integrity of our election system and this unconstitutional law that has been struck down in two consecutive wins only diminished the voices of our citizenry," she said Friday in response to an immigrant activist group that is also challenging the earlier ruling. "I urge the City to not waste more taxpayer money to join this appeal and instead focus on the needs of hardworking New Yorkers who are facing so many quality of life and public safety issues."

Michael B. Jordan Says He Struggles with 'Loneliness'

Michael B. Jordan is getting candid about romance.

During an appearance on Monday's episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the actor and filmmaker admitted he goes "back and forth between wanting partnership and then not knowing what's the best partner for me."

"Bringing them into my world, what I got going on, isn't easy," Jordan, 37, added of his busy lifestyle. "And it's not just, 'I love you, you love me, that should be enough,' right? It's not quite that simple."

For the actor, "Finding the right person to understand all of me, but then all that comes with me, as well" would be paramount for him to consider another romantic relationship. (Jordan was most recently linked to Lori Harvey, whom he split from circa June 2022 after dating for a year and a half.)

"And understanding that balance between wanting to be available and there for that person, while I'm juggling everything else. And feeling okay to put the other part of my businesses down," Jordan said of his perspective on a potential future partner.

The conversation came about when host Jay Shetty asked what Jordan considers the best and worst parts of himself.

After raving about being "Uncle Mike," the actor said, "I love multitasking; I love juggling, the balancing act that I do. The worst part is the loneliness that comes with that."

"There's a loneliness that I have. The responsibility that you have is isolating, and the weight is isolating," he continued. "So I think the worst part of that is the feeling like nobody really understands, and sometimes falling into the spaces of just being alone, feeling alone."

Asked how he, as the former PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive, finds love, Jordan joked to Shetty, 36, "I revert back to the last question. It's very lonely!"

In all seriousness, "The sacrifice, the compromise that comes with a partnership and a relationship, and understanding how to make that all work, sometimes it gives me anxiety and pause," he said.

The Black Panther star also acknowledged that "there's a part of" him "that really has not really lived life yet." For example, he hasn't "really traveled as much for fun," with the exception of his trip to Japan last spring.

"I'm looking forward to that part of my life ... I gotta start living. I've sacrificed and I've zoned in for so long. I owe it to myself a little bit to do that," he said.

And while he's "not looking" for a romantic partner, he would welcome the right one into his life.

"But it would take a very special person to understand and grow with me," Jordan said, noting in addition, "I want a family [eventually]."

University of Missouri student, 22, went missing from Nashville bar

A family is pleading for answers in the search for a University of Missouri student who has been missing since Friday after he left a bar in Nashville, Tennessee.

Riley Strain, 22, a senior, was last seen Friday night by friends at a bar in Nashville’s bustling Broadway area, known for nightlife, Nashville police said.

He was visiting town with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers for their spring formal, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported, but they got separated after he was asked to leave country singer Luke Bryan's bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, his family told NBC affiliate WSMV of Nashville.

“At approximately 9:45 p.m., he was asked to leave Luke Bryan’s bar,” Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, told the station. “They got separated. The boys called him, and he said, 'I’m walking back to my hotel.' They didn’t think anything about it.”

When his friends returned to Tempo Hotel, about a half-mile away, they saw Strain’s room key but no sign of him. When they tried to call him, his phone was dead.

The young men went out to search for him, checked his Snapchat locations, and they went through the other fraternity brothers’ rooms but did not find him, so they called his parents.

Whiteid, along with his wife, Michelle Whiteid, traveled from Springfield, Missouri, to Nashville to search for him.

“We talk every day, multiple times a day,” Michelle Whiteid said. “This is the longest I’ve ever gone without talking to him.”

“We’re in a bad dream. Can we wake up? Please, just let us wake up,” her husband told WSMV.

Chris Whiteid told the Post-Dispatch that according to security video, it appeared that Strain was heading back to the hotel but took a wrong turn. It's not clear where the video was from.

Searches took place Monday, including a helicopter search of Gay Street, the area where Strain was last seen, the riverbank and a ground search, “but to no avail,” police said.

On Tuesday, police shared security video showing Strain, wearing a two-tone shirt, crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at 9:47 p.m. Friday. That cross-section is about 0.7 miles from the bar he was at earlier.

TC Restaurant Group, the operator and owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge, said it, too, was working with police to provide security camera video and other potentially helpful information to aid in the search.

Strain is described as 6-foot-5 with a thin build, blue eyes and light brown hair.

Prostate Cancer Advice - What Would You Do?

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago. It was the least aggressive cancer, so my urologist recommended monitoring - regular PSA tests and exams.

My last PSA test came back very elevated. My urologist wants to do another biopsy to see if the cancer is getting aggressive. I've already had three biopsies (they're not fun) and two MRIs.

I'm thinking I'd just like to have my prostate removed altogether. The cancer isn't going to disappear, and eventually, I'll probably have to have a prostatectomy, anyway.

South Carolina has $1.8 billion but doesn't know where the money came from

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina has collected about $1.8 billion in a bank account over the past decade and state and private accountants are still trying to figure out where the cash came from and where it was supposed to go.

“It's like going into your bank and the bank president tells you we have a lot of money in our vault but we just don't know who it belongs to,” said Republican Sen. Larry Grooms, who is leading a Senate panel investigating the problem.

It's the latest trouble with the state's books and the two agencies, typically led by elected officials, that are in charge of making sure government accounts stay balanced.

Last year, the elected Republican comptroller general — the state's top accountant — resigned after his agency started double posting money in higher education accounts, leading to a $3.5 billion error that was all on paper. The problem started as the state shifted computer systems in the 2010s.

The latest issue appears to involve actual cash and elected Republican Treasurer Curtis Loftis, whose job is to write checks for the state.

Investigative accountants are still trying to untangle the mess, but it appears that every time the state’s books were out of whack, money was shifted from somewhere into an account that helped balance it out, state Senate leaders have said.

“Politics really shouldn't come into play. People prefer their accountants not be crusaders,” Grooms said Tuesday, just after the Senate approved putting a constitutional amendment before voters to make the comptroller general an appointed position. The proposal now goes to the House.

Grooms suggested that an amendment to make the treasurer also appointed might be next unless he can provide some satisfactory answers.

Whatever caused the bank account errors has not been rectified, and if there are records showing where the $1.8 billion came from, they have not been shared with state leaders.

“It does not inspire confidence. But the good news is no money was lost," Republican Gov. Henry McMaster said.

Loftis has said he invested the money in the mystery account and made nearly $200 million in interest for the state, which led to questions about why he didn't let the General Assembly know money they either set aside for state agencies or that might have been in a trust fund was just sitting around.

Loftis said that wasn't the job of his office.

The comptroller general “is attempting to shift responsibility to clean up its mess to the Treasurer,” Loftis wrote in a March 14 letter to Grooms that also said a timeline to answer questions in just a few weeks was impossible.

Loftis said his staff spent thousands of hours researching the account, and that the Comptroller General's Office has refused to meet with them or share information.

An audit of how the Treasurer's Office and the Comptroller General's Office communicate found they don't do it well.

The treasurer hasn't answered detailed questions from lawmakers but has posted statements on social media where he said he was being attacked politically and was having blame shifted on him by Comptroller General Brian Gaines, a well-respected career government worker who took over the office after Richard Eckstrom resigned during his sixth term.

Gaines and Loftis have been called before Grooms' committee next week. Grooms said Gaines has answered every question his subcommittee has asked and that he has confidence in his work.

Grooms said he thinks Loftis' office should have found the mistake, but it was reported by the Comptroller General's Office.

South Carolina has had a long history of accounting issues.

The Treasure's Office was created when the state's first constitution was written in 1776. Back then, the General Assembly selected the treasurer. But by the early 1800s, the state's finances were in “a state of bewildering confusion” and no one could “tell the amounts of debts or of the credit of the State,” according to History of South Carolina, a book edited in 1920 by Yates Snowden and Howard Cutler.

Paul Simon: Short-lived marriage to Carrie Fisher was ‘exhausting’

Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher's short-lived 1980s marriage was, in the words of the folk icon, "mistakes on top of mistakes on top of mistakes," as noted in footage shown in the new docuseries about the Simon & Garfunkel co-founder.

Paul Simon fans are getting a peek behind the curtain of his “exhausting” marriage to the late Carrie Fisher.

The Queens-raised Grammy winner, 82, met the “Star Wars” icon as she was filming the first installment in the franchise. They tied the knot in 1983 and divorced the following summer.

“I mean, what was I thinking? Certainly not thinking about life, you know, that you actually like have to stop,” the Simon & Garfunkel co-founder says in an old interview shown in MGM+’s documentary, “In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon.”

Noting that the “When Harry Met Sally” actress “was much more show business-oriented” as the daughter of screen legend Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, Simon said he “went along with that.”

“She was used to it,” he said. “She was used to a lot of press and things like that. It wasn’t intimidating or anything. She knew how to manipulate it and make it work for her. She was really good at it, and I wasn’t.”

The singer-songwriter added that “marriage is … a hard thing to do.

“Not everything can happen at once, not everything is a media event. All types of mistakes on top of mistakes on top of mistakes,” said Simon. “I realized I could become exhausted by — I could exhaust myself from emotional upheaval.”

Divorce was not the end of the road for Simon and Fisher, who spent years in an on-and-off romance.

Fisher, who died after suffering a heart attack before Christmas 2016, was remembered by Simon at the time as “a special, wonderful girl.”

“Yesterday was a horrible day,” he tweeted on the heels of her death. “It’s too soon.”

In 1992, Simon tied the knot with singer Edie Brickell, with whom he shares three adult children. Through her relationship with talent agent Bryan Lourd, Fisher welcomed a daughter, “Booksmart.” star Billie Lourd.

Simon in the docuseries also details the “recipe for the breakup of Simon & Garfunkel,” ending his lifelong friendship with Art Garfunkel.

Resurfaced Video of Diddy & Teenage Justin Bieber: ‘Who Was Protecting This Young Boy?’

Shortly after rapper Diddy's homes were raided by Homeland Security, an old video of him and a teenage Justin Bieber resurfaced and went viral on social media. The video sparked concerns from netzines, who argued that the pair should not have been hanging out together due to their wide age gap.

The raids on Diddy's homes are part of the ongoing sexual misconduct and trafficking investigation being done against him. There have been multiple abuse allegations against the musician, including a suit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie and another from Music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones.

Amid Diddy's ongoing legal drama and s-- trafficking investigation, an old video of him and a teenage Justin Bieber has resurfaced online. The video has now received heavy criticism of what could really have happened behind the scenes, considering the allegations now being thrown against Diddy.

In the video, which was taken somewhere outdoors, the rapper spoke about doing a "48 hours with Diddy" experience for the then 15-year-old Bieber, who smiled nervously throughout.

He said, "Right now, he's having 48 hours with Diddy. Where we're hanging out and what we're doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream."

Diddy added, "For the next 48 hours, he's with me. And we're gonna go full. Buck full crazy." The rapper also mentioned that he and Bieber are connected through Usher, who signed Bieber and launched his music career. Diddy was previously Usher's legal guardian when he recorded and released his first album.

The video quickly went viral on social media, with users blasting the rapper and calling him "creepy." Others expressed concern for Bieber, claiming that he must have gone through some "horrific" events as a child star.

One X user commented, "I think Justin has been through some horrific situations," while another wrote, "The Beibs looks nervous. Who was protecting this young boy?"

A third person noted, "This is just sick. Seems Justin Bieber has some skeletons he may need to divulge. And may explain some of his behaviors."

"No wonder Justin Bieber ain't the same anymore; this says it all," another individual commented.

"His body language says something deep," wrote a fifth person.

Another remarked, "It's like this 'fame' and 'prosperity' got a tag on it!! From Hollywood and now the rap world... These revelations are many!!"

One more person noted, "I'm not saying he isn't a creep. I am saying you don't get arrested for being a creep unless you really p--- off the wrong people."

The viral video comes shortly after two of Diddy's homes were raided by Homeland Security.

Why Are Women Getting Punched In The Face On The Streets Of NYC?

Many are wondering what's going on in New York City and why so many women are getting randomly punched in the face while just walking down the street?

If you happened to be scrolling on TikTok on Monday, you may have come across a video of a woman telling her story about being punched in the face as she walked down the street. And then scrolling further, you may have come across another. And then another. So just what's going on in the city all of a sudden that women are being punched in the face for no reason?

Content creator and influencer, Halley shared a video on Monday morning telling her disturbing story of how she was just punched in the face while walking down the street. The evidence, a large egg on the right side of her forehead, told just as much of the story as she did.

"You guys. I was literally just walking and a man came up and punched me in the face," she began the video that quickly went viral with more than 21.3 million views. "It hurts so bad. I can't even talk. Literally, I fell to the ground, and now this giant goose egg is forming, and I'm like, oh my God. So crazy."

More than 10,000 comments quickly flooded the comment section of the video. While many wanted to know if the police were called and if she's okay, others shared that they also had a similar issue happen recently.

"It happened to me as well, a whole slap because he didn't like my hat," one person shared. Another added, "OMG I saw someone else post the same thing happened to them last week."

A follow up video shared more of Halley's story, as well as an update.

"I was just walking on the sidewalk, and my head was down, and I was like looking at my phone, just sending an email. But there was so much room on the sidewalk and literally nobody was around, and I guess this man, I don't know if he punched me or if he elbowed me. I literally passed out," she said.

"I think he just was really mad that my head was down. He was walking his dog, so he took it upon himself to body check me and let me know to be conscious of my surroundings."

Halley said after being punched, she fell to the ground and "blacked out for a second." When she got up, the man was screaming at her. That's when she got up and ran away out of fear.

One follower suggested, "Do you remember what area you were at? Nearby businesses may have security cameras facing the sidewalk." Another viewer wrote, "Wait, this is the 2nd video I saw like this today!"

In another follow up video, Halley explained that she did go to urgent care to get checked out. She also revealed that she did call the police and was told that her story matches another one they recently got.

New York City "congestion pricing" is approved at $15 and up for vehicles

A majority of the MTA board voted Wednesday in favor of New York City congestion pricing, green-lighting the controversial plan that will charge cars $15 to enter Manhattan below 61st Street and hit trucks with even higher tolls starting in just a few months.

Only one of the 12 board members opposed the proposal. The no vote was Nassau County board member David Mack.

The approval, essentially a rubber stamp of “clarifications” like exemptions, given the plan itself was approved last year, means congestion pricing can begin following a 60-day public information campaign and a concurrent 30-day testing period.

Almost all 110 toll readers are already installed, positioning the MTA to begin collecting as soon as June 15. Federal judges on either side of the Hudson River could still block the plan, though the MTA expects that not to be the case.

The board overwhelmingly voted in favor of the plan in December, saying charging drivers to enter a swath of Manhattan would contribute millions of dollars to the aging, cash-strapped transit system. Wednesday’s vote is a critical final approval of “clarifications” and exemptions.

As NBC New York reported earlier this week, most of the cars likely to get full exemptions will be government vehicles. Get details on the planned exemption list here.

The toll will not be in effect for taxis, but drivers will be charged a $1.25 surcharge per ride. The same policy applies to Uber, Lyft and other rideshare drivers, though their surcharge will be $2.50.

Despite what MTA officials say were overwhelming public comments “in favor” of congestion pricing by a 2-to-1 margin, a number of groups have stood in opposition.

Taxi advocates have blasted the plan, calling it “a reckless proposal that will devastate an entire workforce.”

Public hearings earlier in March paved the way for Wednesday’s vote. For its part, the MTA has insisted that it is merely implementing a state law aimed at cleaning the air and modernizing mass transit.

Congestion pricing will impact any driver entering what is being called the Central Business District (CBD), which stretches from 60th Street in Manhattan and below, all the way down to the southern tip of the Financial District. In other words, most drivers entering midtown Manhattan or below will have to pay the toll, according to the board’s report.

All drivers of cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles would be charged the toll. Different vehicles will be charged different amounts — here’s a breakdown of the prices:

Passenger vehicles: $15

Small trucks (like box trucks, moving vans, etc.): $24

Large trucks: $36

Motorcycles: $7.50

The $15 toll is about a midway point between previously reported possibilities, which have ranged from $9 to $23.

The full, daytime rates will be in effect from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. each weekday, and 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on the weekends. The board called for toll rates in the off-hours (from 9 p.m.-5 a.m. on weekdays, and 9 p.m. until 9 a.m. on weekends) to be about 75% less — about $3.50 instead of $15 for a passenger vehicle.

Drivers will only be charged to enter the zone, not to leave it or stay in it. That means residents who enter the CBD and circle their block to look for parking won’t be charged.

Only one toll will be levied per day — so anyone who enters the area, then leaves and returns, will still only be charged the toll once for that day.

The review board said that implementing their congestion pricing plan is expected to reduce the number of vehicles entering the area by 17%. That would equate to 153,000 fewer cars in that large portion of Manhattan. They also predicted that the plan would generate $15 billion, a cash influx that could be used to modernize subways and buses.

Killer/Lover of Philly Gay Activist Pleads Guilty to Murder

The victim, Josh Kruger, was a fixture of Philadelphia politics and known for his activism and writing on homelessness, gay rights, addiction, and living with HIV.

The first week of this story was a mess, as investigators dug deeper into their relationship. They found meth in Kruger's place, and text messages indicating a lengthy sexual relationship between the two. The killer's family shared evidence that the two had been fucking for four years, and the older man was blackmailing this Black male with sex tapes in order to keep the arrangement going.

After all this came out, Philly's political class clammed up on all their glowing obituaries of Josh.

France to sue teen for falsely accusing school head in headscarf row

DL fave Attal is done fucking around. Good luck to the little girl, getting sued by France itself. Hopefully this will deter more of this nonsense in the future.

[quote]France's prime minister says a teenage girl will be sued by the state for falsely accusing her headteacher of striking her in a heated exchange over her wearing an Islamic head-covering. Officers found no evidence that the headteacher had struck the girl, and now Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has stepped in to say she is to be taken to court for making false allegations.

[quote]"The state... will always stand with these officials, those who are on the frontline faced with these breaches of secularism, these attempts of Islamist entryism in our education establishments," he said.

Sharon Osbourne claims 'nobody will employ' her in the U.S.

Sharon Osbourne says she's having trouble finding work in the United States lately.

While appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom, the media personality discussed public backlash following accusations of racist behavior on The Talk with her housemates. “I got banned in America,” Osbourne said to her costars Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh (via Yahoo!). “I did nothing wrong.”

Yahoo! reports that after Simon asked Osbourne if she was permitted to work in the U.S., the Osbournes star responded, “I can legally…but nobody will employ me because they say I am racist.” Simon observed that Osbourne is Jewish, to which she responded, “I know, and that’s what I said to them!”

“They think we don’t know what it’s like to be picked on,” Osbourne continued. “I wouldn’t pick on anyone because of their race or religion, ever.”

Reps for Osbourne did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Osbourne generated controversy on The Talk in March 2021 when she defended Piers Morgan amid backlash to his questioning the validity of Meghan Markle’s comments about mental health issues during her Oprah Winfrey interview. Osbourne insisted that Morgan is “not racist” and said, "Did I like everything he said? Did I agree with what he said? No.” She explained that she wanted to defend Morgan "Because it's his opinion. It's not my opinion… I support him for his freedom of speech, and he's my friend."

Cohost Sheryl Underwood said, "While you are standing by your friend, it appears that you are giving validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist," to which Osbourne responded, "I feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist.”

After the heated on-air exchange, Osbourne was accused of racist and homophobic behavior behind the scenes of The Talk. Osbourne denied these allegations. She exited the series shortly thereafter.

"The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home," CBS said in a statement at the time. "As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon's behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace."

When the oppressed become the oppressors

The oppressed can easily turn into oppressors if you give them a chance.

Like Rwanda for eg. where the oppressed tribe committed one of the most atrocious genocides against the member of the tribe whose ancestors had been the oppressors.

Serbs in Bosnia have killed 8000 Muslim men and boys in a day on the wave of "woke" Milošević politics whose main substance was pulling out all the injustices and oppression committed against Serbs during the Ottoman empire and during WW2 (which had been real).

Have you noticed that Putin, when attacking Ukraine, pulled out the Ukrainian Nazis from WW2. Nobody can deny that Russians had been one of the greatest victims of WW2.

When an ethnicity, nation or tribe start side-eyeing another one for the injustice that their ancestors had committed against their ancestors you know it is just not going to end well. The new bigotry gets started because you put the blame on someone solely because of his race, ethnicity etc., which is as toxic as the previous injustices.

You Americans lack the historical knowledge that us people from other parts of the world have, and all this anti-white ideology is very dangerous. Blacks in America are still a minority, but nothing is preventing those among them from seeking individual "retribution". Particularly when they can pull out the race victim card and can be absolved of any wrongdoing.

Timothée Chalamet signs first look deal with Warner Bros.

Following the success of “ Wonka ” and the “ Dune” movies, Warner Bros. is staying in the Timothée Chalamet business. The star signed a first look deal with the studio to collaborate on future projects as an actor and producer, Warner Bros. said Tuesday.

This doesn’t mean that Chalamet can only make movies with Warner Bros., just that the studio is entitled to right of first refusal. The terms of the deal were not released, but it is a “multi-year” agreement.

Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-chairs and CEO’s Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement that they’ve admired his “commitment to his craft” and his “unwavering dedication to give 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made.”

Chalamet, in a statement, said of De Luca and Abdy: “These are studio heads who believe in real movie making, and I’m so grateful for their support as an actor, producer and collaborator. This partnership feels like a natural next step. Let’s go!”

The 28-year-old recently became the first star in over four decades to be in two top-grossing films released within eight months of each other with “Dune: Part Two,” which has a running box office total of $575.5 million, and “Wonka,” which made over $632 million globally. The previous record-holder was John Travolta with “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever.”

Chalamet was a producer on Luca Guadagnino’s “ Bones and All ” and is also producing and starring in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” which is currently filming.

Shirley MacLaine

In honor of her 90th birthday this month, I thought it would be fun to discuss the great American actress Shirley MacLaine.

The older sister of Warren Beatty, her professor parents pushed her to be a ballerina, where she was successful, until she broke her ankle and was told she "didn't have the ballerina look." She then set her sights on acting and couldn't be stopped.

Her first film was with Hitchcock, her second with Dean Martin, and by her third she was nominated for an Academy Award. By the early 1960's she was a star, appearing in a wide range of films such as The Apartment, The Turning Point, Terms of Endearment, and Bernie.

By the mid-2020's, she is still at the top of the Hollywood A-List. She is still quick witted and brutally honest. And she is still having the time of her life!

Cute explorer killed by 'cannibal tribe' on remote island in the Indian Ocean

The American explorer travelled to the island with what he thought was good intentions.

Hopeful missionary John Allen Chau grew up in a Christian home in Vancouver, Washington and had a passion for hiking, camping and travelling.

Back in high school, he learnt about the isolated Sentinelese peoples of North Sentinel Island, who fiercely protect their home from outsiders.

The hunter gatherers live on a small island - about the size of New York's Manhattan Island - situated in the Indian Ocean.

While it is estimated that the land could comfortably support between 80 and 150 people, between 15 and 500 are currently living there.

Tom Cruise and Girlfriend Elsina Khayrova Split, ‘Weren’t Romantically Compatible’

Tom Cruise and his girlfriend, Elsina Khayrova, have called it quits shortly after debuting their romance.

"They weren't gelling and realized they weren't romantically compatible," a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

According to the insider, Khayrova, 36, was the one to put an end to the their relationship. "There's no bad blood between them," the source tells Us. "They just had different ideas of what their relationship was going to be."

The actor, 61, and the Russian socialite, 36, were first spotted cozying up to each other at a December 2023 party in London’s Grosvenor Square, though a source exclusively told Us at the time that the pair had been dating for “a while.”

“They’re very happy,” the insider added. “And Tom’s extremely confident about it working out for the long term. … They’ve hung out at Tom’s favorite private members club and regularly enjoy afternoon tea and gourmet dinners out in London.”

The two met through mutual friends in the city’s social scene. “What started as a basic friendship quickly turned into something more special,” the source said.

Cruise’s eldest children, Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29 — whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman — thought Khayrova was “great and [were] so happy to see that their dad [had] love in his life again,” the insider noted, revealing that Cruise was waiting to pursue a romance once he found the right person. “He wanted to take his time and not rush into any relationships just for the sake of it.”

As for Khayrova, she was “very supportive of Tom and his work” and knew that he had “a lot of demands and obligations” on his plate.

In February, a second source told Us that Cruise was “very relaxed and content” with Khayrova. “They’re both happy in London and settled with a well-heeled social circle, all of whom believe it’s a great match.”

Although there was a 25-year age difference between the duo, they had plenty in common, with the insider revealing that they would “sit and talk for hours about world affairs, arts and culture, history [and] sports.” The source also noted that Cruise found Khayrova’s “journey and heritage fascinating” and thought she was “incredibly intelligent.”

At the time, Cruise and Khayrova were solid, with the source hinting that a serious commitment could be in their future. “Tom [has] never ruled out getting married again; it’s just that the circumstances haven’t been right,” the insider said, adding that they were “super happy together.”

Cruise was previously married to Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, to Kidman, 56, from 1990 to 2001 and to Katie Holmes — with whom he shares a daughter — from 2006 to 2012. Khayrova, meanwhile, filed for divorce from Russian oligarch Dmitry Tsetkov in 2022 after separating two years earlier. The exes, who have two children together, have since settled the proceedings.

Gay journalist shot and killed in his home in Philly

[quote]No arrests have been made, and the motive remains unclear and under investigation, he said. There were no signs of forced entry into the home. “Either the door was open, or the offender knew how to get the door open,” he said. “We just don’t know yet.”

[quote]About two weeks ago, Kruger wrote on Facebook that someone came to his house searching for their boyfriend — “a man I’ve never met once in my entire life.” The person called themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets” and threatened him, he wrote. Vanore wasn’t aware of previous incidents at the house but said detectives are actively investigating all angles.

[quote]Kruger was a journalist and former city spokesperson who advocated for more support for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents, including the homeless, people in addiction, and LGBTQ community. He worked for the City of Philadelphia for about five years, overseeing the mayor’s social media platforms and policy campaigns, and acting as communications director and spokesperson for the city’s Office of Homeless Services.

Why Costco’s hot dog is still $1.50 when everything has gotten so expensive

Inflation has touched nearly everything these last few years — even Trader Joe’s 19-cent bananas. But Costco is holding the line on its hot dog-soda combo price.

Costco’s hot dog deal, sold at its food courts, is still priced at $1.50 — exactly what it cost in 1985, before the Great Recession, the housing crisis, the pandemic and the latest bout of decades-high inflation.

Since the pandemic started, prices for consumers have gone up 20% overall, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In many key areas, like housing and groceries, prices have increased even more.

If Costco’s hot dog deal kept pace with inflation, it would be three times as expensive today — nearly $4.50. But Costco’s $1.50 combo is a strategic decision, known as a loss-leader: The company is willing to lose money selling the hot dogs at that price — inflation be darned — so long as it helps Costco draw in and retain customers.

“It’s branding,” said Scott Mushkin, a retail analyst at R5 Capital. The $1.50 deal helps create customer loyalty, he said. “It reminds customers of who Costco is.”

Costco loses money selling more than 100 million hot dogs every year, but the company offsets these losses by raising prices on other goods it sells. Costco has increased prices of pizzas and other items at its food courts.

But Costco has a unique business model that allows it to keep prices low: It makes almost all of its money on memberships, selling items on its warehouse floor very nearly at cost – and sometimes less.

Costco’s longtime finance chief Richard Galanti, who retired this month, said in a recent interview that the $1.50 price was “probably safe for a while.”

Costco’s hot dog defied inflation from the very start.

Costco’s hot dog offering was born in the company’s early days. Costco added a Hebrew National stand at its second warehouse store in Portland, Oregon, shortly after it opened in 1983.

To keep the price of the hot dog steady, Costco found ways to slash other costs at the food court, such as switching from 12-ounce soda cans to cheaper, 20-ounce fountain drinks.

Costco sold kosher hot dogs at its food courts until 2009, but suppliers started to run low on meat. Realizing the importance of the low-priced hot dog, the chain brought production in-house and switched to its own Kirkland Signature brand. Costco now produces around 388 million non-kosher hot dogs a year at its plants for both food courts and to sell in packs.

Jim Sinegal, Costco’s co-founder, once told the company’s former CEO Craig Jelinek, “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

“I know it sounds crazy making a big deal about a hot dog, but we spend a lot of time on it,” Sinegal told the Seattle Times in 2009. “We’re known for that hot dog. That’s something you don’t mess with.”

Last year, Costco sold more than 130 million — around $195 million worth — of hot dog-soda combos globally.

Carville __ Biden's poll numbers are as bad as seeing your grandma naked and the party is dominated by 'preachy females'

A few years ago, when James Carville was teaching at Louisiana State University, he heard that one of his students had gotten into the school of her dreams to work on an advanced degree. He wanted to toast her.

“I get a $25 champagne and four plastic flutes,” he recalled, “and I said to the students: ‘All right. You are not going to get out of James Carville’s class unless you know how to properly open a bottle of champagne.’

“I said: ‘Here’s what you’re going to do. You don’t pop it like you see in the movies or you’re going to poke somebody’s eye out. You take the foil off. Now you’re going to take a dishcloth, and you’re going to execute the classic counterclockwise movement. The bottle is going to go one way; the cork is going to go the other way. You just ease it out, and the sound that you are looking for is the sigh of a satisfied woman.’

“The next Tuesday, the dean comes into my office and he said: ‘I’m closing the door. We need to have a talk.’”

A female student had complained about the sighing line.

He wanted to mutter to the dean, “Her boyfriend has never heard that sound,” but he simply said, “OK, I’ll endeavor to do better.”

Lately, he has been obsessed with Biden bleeding Black male voters.

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females” dominating the culture of his party. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’

“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election. I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”

He disagrees with Democrats who claim there’s been too much attention on Biden’s age.

“If you do a focus group,” he said, “the first thing out of anybody’s mouth is ‘Old,’ so how do you say we’re going to act like this doesn’t exist?”

Some Legal Scholars Push For Justice Sonia Sotomayor To Retire

"The cost of her failing to be replaced by a Democratic president with a Democratic Senate would be catastrophic,” one said.

“Sotomayor has been an outstanding justice,” he said. “But the Ruth Bader Ginsburg precedent ought to be extremely sobering. … The cost of her failing to be replaced by a Democratic president with a Democratic Senate would be catastrophic.”

At 69, Sonia Sotomayor is the oldest justice on the Supreme Court to have been picked by a Democrat. And now, Democrats may be about to lose the Senate, White House or both. But on the left, there is little open debate about whether she should retire.

I'm thinking more along the lines of something a friend of mine was into....he really had a fetish for guys who were suit and tie types and wore black dress socks.

So is there something very specific that turns you on? What is the specific thing? Again, nothing too out there, nothing illegal, thank you....

Cute Twink Ilia Malinin wins the World Figure Skating Title!

For every other figure-skater, landing a quadruple axel lies outside the realms of possibilities, attempted but never accomplished by an endless parade of skating greats.

For American teenage prodigy Ilia Malinin though, they are simply part of his routine. And landing one on Saturday propelled him to his first ever world title after a record-breaking performance in the free skate at the World Figure Skating Championship.

The 19-year-old – who is nicknamed the ‘quad god’ – was sitting in third place after the short program on Thursday, telling reporters afterwards that he was suffering with physical and mental challenges in the build-up to these world championships.

Then, on Saturday, he was drawn last to compete in the free skate and produced a dazzling performance to score 227.79, the highest ever score in this competition, before collapsing onto the ice with emotion.

“It means so much to me,” Malinin said afterwards, according to the International Skating Union. “The last few weeks were such a mental and physical challenge to go through.

“I was even debating whether I should come here or not. It was the last minute, but I wanted to come here to see what I can put out on the ice. I am so glad to be here on top right now.”

Skating to music from the TV series “Succession,” Malinin opened his free skate with a quadruple axel, before landing five more quad jumps in front of crowd stunned in disbelief.

He is still the only man to land the quadruple axel.

He won by a staggering 24 points, ahead of Japan’s Kagiyama Yuma in second place and France’s Adam Siao Him Fa in third, who rose from 19th place after the short program.

“There was a little voice in my head: ‘No matter what, you have to keep fighting, keep going, no matter how bad you feel you just have to know that you’re capable of,’” Malinin added, per the Olympics.

His gold medal was the US’s second at this World Championships after Madison Chock and Evan Bates won the ice dance earlier on Saturday.

Anne Hathaway Lost Roles After Oscar Win Because of ‘How Toxic My Identity Had Become Online’

Anne Hathaway told Vanity Fair during a cover story interview that Christopher Nolan more or less saved her career when public opinion turned against her in the lead up to and the aftermath of her winning the Oscar for “Les Miserables.” Hathaway was widely mocked online at this time, and she once remembered googling herself after the Oscar win only to see one of the top search results was an article with the title: “Why does everyone hate Anne Hathaway?”

“A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway now told Vanity Fair. “I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films that I’ve been a part of.”

Hathaway is referring to the role of NASA scientist Dr. Amelia Brand in Nolan’s 2014 space epic “Interstellar.” She had already worked with Nolan before as Selina Kyle in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” which earned her acclaim several months before her Oscar campaign for “Les Miserables” in the back end of 2012 generated internet scorn.

“I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect,” Hathaway said about Nolan. “And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.”

“Humiliation is such a rough thing to go through,” the Oscar winner added. “The key is to not let it close you down. You have to stay bold, and it can be hard because you’re like, ‘If I stay safe, if I hug the middle, if I don’t draw too much attention to myself, it won’t hurt.’ But if you want to do that, don’t be an actor. You’re a tightrope walker. You’re a daredevil. You’re asking people to invest their time and their money and their attention and their care into you. So you have to give them something worth all of those things. And if it’s not costing you anything, what are you really offering?”

Hathaway has long sung Nolan’s praises following their two films together. During a conversation with Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” star Emily Blunt last year for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Hathaway said that “the part that blows my mind about Chris is that he is authoritative in the best sense of the word.”

“I remember one day we were doing a shot on ‘The Dark Knight Rises,'” she explained. “He came to me beforehand and said, ‘I just want you to know, this shot has lived in my head for many years. I’m going to be very specific about it. I’m going to make you do it a lot, but it’s not actually you. It’s just because I have it in my head a certain way.’ For him to say that in a way where, as an actor, you don’t start to question yourself!”

Vanity Fair noted in its cover story that Hathaway “doesn’t love to look back on the time when people mocked her.” Speaking to The Sun back in 2021, the actor took a glass-half-full approach when asked about this period in her life, noting how backlash against her forced her to build self-confidence that might not have been built otherwise.

“I really don’t want to dredge up the past but I did have my monster out there, I did have the internet turn on me and hate me and it was like a whole big thing,” Hathaway said at the time. “And it was a really good thing for me personally. You can be incredibly empowered because of those things. So I guess what I’d say is when the bad shit happens, don’t fear it — just go with it, flow with it.”

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2014, Hathaway said the backlash she faced after the Oscars made it feel like she “got punched in the gut.” The actress added she was left “shocked” and “embarrassed” by the hatred at the time, going so far as adding, “Even now I can feel the shame.”

Hathaway next stars in the romance “The Idea of You,” streaming May 2 on Amazon Prime Video. Head over to Vanity Fair’s website to read Hathaway’s cover story in its entirety.

Lego asks California Police to stop using its toy heads to cover suspect mug shots

The toy company Lego asked a Southern California police department to refrain from using the company's toy heads to hide the identities of suspects in photos shared on social media.

The Murrieta Police Department began using Lego heads to cover people's faces in November 2022. The edited photos drew attention last week after the department posted a statement titled "Why the covered faces?" on Facebook.

The online images prompted Lego to contact the police department on March 19.

Lego "respectfully asked us to refrain from using their intellectual property in our social media content, which, of course, we understand and will comply with," Lt. Jeremy Durrant said in a statement to The Associated Press.

"We are currently exploring other methods to continue publishing our content in a way that is engaging and interesting to our followers," Durrant added.

Lego did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The police department protects suspects' identities in accordance with the law but uploads photos of their faces covered to openly share what is happening in the city.

“The Murrieta Police Department prides itself in its transparency with the community, but also honors everyone’s rights & protections as afforded by law; even suspects,” it wrote on Facebook.

The California Legislature amended Penal Code 13665 in July 2021 to prohibit law enforcement agencies from sharing photos of suspects arrested in nonviolent crimes.

In addition, the state passed Assembly Bill 994 last September, requiring agencies to remove suspect mug shots from social media after 14 days unless there are special circumstances.

The law went into effect in January, according to the police department.

Shakira Performs Surprise Concert for over 40,000 Fans in N.Y.C.'s Times Square

Shakira took over the Big Apple!

On Tuesday, the Colombian superstar, 47, performed a surprise free concert on Times Square's TSX Stage in New York City and drew more than 40,000 fans — the biggest crowd the area's ever seen, even during New Year's Eve celebrations.

Fresh off the release of her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Shakira delivered a setlist including its tracks "Te Felicito," "TQG," Cómo Dónde y Cuándo," "Puntería" and "BZRP Music Sessions #53" as well as her signature hit, "Hips Don't Lie."

For the performance, Shakira was joined by dancers and executed impressive choreography and even played electric guitar for a song. "Thank you all for being here for me," she told the crowd at one point in the set. "It means a lot."

The "She Wolf" singer has been quite busy since releasing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran last week, having released music videos for both album tracks "(Entre Paréntesis)" with Grupo Frontera as well as "Puntería" with Cardi B.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, Shakira opened up about feeling "free" to make the new album — which marks her first in 7 years, following her 2022 breakup from ex-partner Gerard Piqué. (They share sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.)

"I've been putting out music here and there, but it was really hard for me to put together a body of work," said the Grammy winner.

"I didn't have time. It was the husband-factor. Now I'm husband-less. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I'm free. Now I can actually work," continued Shakira, who was never legally married to Piqué during their time together.

She explained that her new album's title translates to "Women no longer cry" in English, adding to Fallon, "It's men's turn now. For too long we have been sent to cry with a script in our hands and without an end just because we are women. We have to conceal our pain in front of our kids, in front of society."

"We have to heal in a certain way. And I don't think anyone is supposed to tell us how to heal. No one is supposed to tell a She-wolf how to lick her wounds," added Shakira.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran marks the hitmaker's 12th studio album release, following 2017's El Dorado.

Hailey Bieber Considering Trial Separation ​From Husband Justin: She ‘Needs Time’

Following a stressful stretch in their marriage, Hailey Bieber is considering asking her husband, Justin Bieber, for a trial separation, an insider exclusively tells In Touch.

“Hailey’s struggling,” explains the source. “She just needs time to sort things out on her own.”

The makeup mogul, 27, is still reeling from the “unbearable scrutiny” on social media after her father, Stephen Baldwin, reposted a message requesting prayers for Hailey and 30-year-old Justin, implying their five-year marriage was in trouble, explains the insider. Shortly after, she faced rumors that she was having an affair with a billionaire, which she insisted were concocted “out of thin air.”

All that has been compounded by health scares over the past few years, including Hailey’s ministroke and Justin’s diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which saw him canceling his tour and spending more time at home. Now, says the source, “Hailey just wants to live by herself for a while.”

The model previously opened up about a rough patch early in her marriage. “I called my mom ... crying ... like, ‘I just can’t do it,’” she said in 2021. “But I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him.”

She’s still not ready to give up, says the insider.

“Hailey’s not asking for a divorce. She knows Justin feels hurt and confused, but she feels lost too. She just needs a break.”

Blanket Jackson Makes Rare Appearance

Blanket and Prince attended the 10th anniversary of 'Michael Jackson ONE' in Las Vegas on Tuesday

Bigi Jackson and Prince Jackson are remembering their father Michael Jackson on what would have been his 65th birthday.

On Tuesday, Bigi (formerly known as Blanket), 21, was joined by his brother Prince, 26, as the two made a rare appearance in Las Vegas to honor their late father. The siblings were spotted at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino where Cirque du Soleil has its ongoing Michael Jackson ONE show taking place.

PEOPLE confirmed that the famous siblings greeted fans inside of the casino. One MJ supporter also gave the sons a picture of Michael with an angel on it as they shared their favorite memories of the global superstar.

According to an announcement shared on Cirque du Soleil’s website, members of Michael’s estate were present to host a public Q&A session to commemorate the “Human Nature” artist's “Blue Sapphire Birthday Celebration.”

After Michael’s loved ones spoke to some of his biggest fans, they were scheduled to enjoy a special performance from the cast of the Vegas show. The event is expected to run throughout the evening and will also feature a book signing by Michael Bush, the author of The King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson.

The festivities will not end there. There will also be a meet and greet with the original Michael Jackson ONE creative team, as well as reps from the Grammy winner’s estate. Fans who show proof of purchase for a ticket to either of Tuesday’s two shows will also be treated to cake and cupcakes before the main event.

The Cirque du Soleil show paying tribute to the Thriller hitmaker promises to be “part music, part acrobatics” and “all amazing.” The major draw was first announced in February 2013 and opened to the public several months later. Michael’s 65th birthday marks the 10th anniversary of the Vegas residency.

“Everything [Jackson] does is with a childlike heart. For Michael, every day was fresh, every day was new, every day had to be bigger and better than the last one,” Michael’s friend and choreographer Jamie King previously said in a statement. At the time, executives for ONE also promised the new show would differ greatly from its predecessor Immortal.

Tuesday’s extravaganza isn’t the only time the Jackson kids have made a rare appearance at the show honoring their father’s legacy. In August 2018, Paris Jackson, 25, and Prince attended the “Michael Jackson Diamond Birthday Celebration” at Mandalay Bay for his 60th birthday. While at the event, the two accepted the Elizabeth Taylor Legacy Award on his behalf for his humanitarian work with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

The late Cleopatra actress was a longtime friend to Michael and was also Paris’ godmother. “I can recall my dad speaking with Elizabeth on a few occasions at our home in Encino,” the Swarm talent told PEOPLE for World AIDS Day in December 2021.

“They would sit in the living room and have conversations … he supported Elizabeth and the cause with his time, celebrity, and donations,” Paris added.

In 2007, one of Michael’s former bodyguards described the “Man in the Mirror” artist’s three children to PEOPLE as "well-mannered, well-behaved kids,” adding that “they are really level-headed." Michael’s publicist continued, "They were Michael's first priority."

At Michael's funeral in 2009, Paris, who was just 11 years old at the time, said: "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much."

Why are upper-middle class/wealthy people generally better looking than lower-income individuals?

I know wealthier people have access to gyms, beauty treatments, and stylists, but even the ones without plastic surgery look better because the facial features just look better than poorer people.

Not trying to insult the people in this video, but you rarely see an wealthier person with these kind of facial features. Ignore the teeth, look at the rest of the facial features. Most of them have no cheekbones; rich people have better midfaces/noses (even before surgery) Is it bad genes or what?

Standoff at Gate 36: Texas sends in the troops to block migrants

There was a time when migrants arriving here would cross the Rio Grande, make their way to a gate in the border fence and turn themselves in to federal agents to claim asylum.

That was before Texas Gov. Greg Abbott turned Gate 36 into a militarized zone, fortified by rifle-toting soldiers, a fleet of Humvees and a forest of razor wire glistening in the desert sun.

"It looks like a prison," Mario Jesús Nazareño said Saturday afternoon, gazing north across the river.

The 47-year-old former boxer had just arrived at the border after traveling for weeks from his native Ecuador. He hoped to make his way to Florida, where he has relatives.

Now he and hundreds of others were stuck. The governor's aim is to prevent migrants from reaching the gate — part of the 30-foot high, steel border wall built during the Trump presidency — and thus deny them a chance to apply for political asylum or other forms of relief that could allow them to remain in the United States.

"All we want to do is give ourselves up, " said David Arau, 33, who traveled for months from his home in northern Venezuela. "But the army won't let us."

It was yet another day in the standoff at Gate 36.

Immigration enforcement has long been the domain of the federal government. But Texas is challenging that at a time when record numbers of migrants are arriving at the U.S. southern border.

Abbott has been amping up "Operation Lone Star," the crackdown he launched three years ago using National Guard troops and state police to deter illegal immigration and narcotics smuggling — and draw attention to what he argues is the Biden administration's failure to control the border.

The Texas governor has been trying to enact a statute passed last year known as S.B. 4 that would allow state and local authorities to arrest migrants simply for being in the country illegally. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which put a temporary hold on the law last week, is scheduled to hear arguments in the case early next month.

The White House considers the statute an unconstitutional infringement on federal authority — an argument that many expect to wind up before the Supreme Court.

That legal battle is playing out at a moment when the border has emerged as a major campaign issue in this national election year.

For evidence of Abbott's intensifying get-tough tactics, look no further than Gate 36, where Abbott first deployed National Guard soldiers and state police in late 2022.

Last week, after scores of migrants clashed with Texas troops, broke through the militarized zone at Gate 36 and surrendered to the Border Patrol, Abbott declared that his units had sealed the breach.

"The TX National Guard & Dept. of Public Safety quickly regained control & are redoubling the razor wire barriers," Abbott wrote on X. "DPS is instructed to arrest every illegal immigrant involved for criminal trespass & destruction of property."

Soon, a reinforced phalanx of troops in riot helmets was staring down a bedraggled array of border crossers living in an encampment on the trash-strewn U.S. bank of the Rio Grande, barely a trickle at times. Scores of makeshift tents — mostly blankets and sheets strung from wood poles — stretch for several hundred yards between the water and the razor wire.

A few yards away, heavy construction equipment pushed new sections of fencing into place. A recorded voice from a megaphone warned migrants that they could be arrested for damaging the razor wire.

Despite the tensions between the Biden administration and the Texas governor's office, Border Patrol officials said federal and state authorities coordinate closely at Gate 36 and other areas. "Obviously Operation Lone Star is a state initiative, not a federal one, but we are there and we cooperate," said one Border Patrol official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Yale Oncologist Helps Explain Kate's Statement

From paywalled NYT article:

Although it is not known what type of cancer Princess Catherine has, oncologists say that what she described in her public statement that was released on Friday — discovering a cancer during another procedure, in this case a “major abdominal surgery” — is all too common.

“Unfortunately, so much of the cancer we diagnose is unexpected,” said Dr. Elena Ratner, a gynecologic oncologist at Yale Cancer Center who has diagnosed many patients with ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and cancers of the lining of the uterus.

Without speculating on Catherine’s procedure, Dr. Ratner described situations in which women will go in for surgery for endometriosis, a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found elsewhere in the abdomen. Often, Dr. Ratner says, the assumption is that the endometriosis has appeared on an ovary and caused a benign ovarian cyst. But one to two weeks later, when the supposedly benign tissue has been studied, pathologists report that they found cancer.

In the statement, Princess Catherine said she was is getting “a course of preventive chemotherapy.” That, too, is common. In medical settings, it is usually called adjuvant chemotherapy. Dr. Eric Winer, director of the Yale Cancer Center, said that with adjuvant chemotherapy, “the hope is that this will prevent further problems” and avoid a recurrence of the cancer.

It also means that “you removed everything” that was visible with surgery, said Dr. Michael Birrer, director of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. “You can’t see the cancer,” he added, because microscopic cancer cells may be left behind. The chemotherapy is a way to attack microscopic disease, he explained.

Security footage shows he wandered the gate area around a Delta flight headed for Austin, took discreet pics of people's boarding passes, and used the best photo at the pass-scanner to get on the plane without a ticket. He snuck into the lavatory, planning to pop out and sit in whatever empty seat remained at the end of boarding. Except the flight was full, and there were no empty seats. Knowing the stews would check the toilets before takeoff, he next tried to enter a storage closet, but it was locked and too small. They caught him, and he admitted to the ruse.

'Yellowstone' actor 'kicked off' flight for allegedly refusing to sit next to passenger wearing a mask

Forrie J. Smith claimed he was kicked off a flight after refusing to be seated next to a passenger wearing a face mask.

The "Yellowstone" actor was stranded in a Houston, Texas airport when he shared his story on an Instagram video for his half-a-million followers.

"You need to hear this story," he captioned the short clip alongside the hashtags #cowboy #country #western #yellowstone #yellowstonetv.

"You know my social media people tell me that you like me face to face, but you know what I can't say face to face what I want," Smith started.

"I just got kicked off a plane, and … where the hell am I at – Houston, Texas – because I told them I didn't feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on."

Smith continued, "Ya, I've been drinking. I've been sitting in an airport for three hours. Ya I'm drinking. I ain't drunk, but they throw me off the plane because I'm drunk, because you people won't stand up and tell everybody what bulls--t this is.

"I just told them I didn't feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask, and I'm off the plane."

It's not clear what airline Smith was traveling on and why he was removed from the flight.

Smith's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

In 2022, Smith was forced to miss the Screen Actor's Guild awards due to strict protocols requiring guests to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Organizers required attendees to not only be vaccinated, but to also have a booster shot and provide a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the show. Attendees were also required to wear a mask.

"Yellowstone" received its first SAG nomination for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series in 2022. "I want to apologize to y’all for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards," Smith told his Instagram followers in a since-deleted video. "I mean no offense to anyone. I’m not vaccinated, and it’s a requirement to be vaccinated."

He added, I will not get vaccinated. I haven’t been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don’t vaccinate my dogs, I don’t vaccinate my horses. I’ve never had a flu shot. Never will. I believe they compromise your immunities."

Smith, who plays the role of Lloyd Pierce on the series, said he had planned on walking the red carpet at the awards show but just doesn't "believe in that stuff."

Grant Cardone Calls Out Nancy Pelosi: 'If You Make $179,000 A Year, You Will Never Be A Millionaire"

Grant Cardone, a motivational speaker and entrepreneur, made waves during his October 2023 appearance on Mike Tyson’s podcast, "Hotboxin’." While there to discuss business, Cardone took aim at politicians, particularly U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

It started with Tyson's co-host addressing how Cardone posted something online about how "poor politicians going into Congress and come out rich." His point? The vast wealth accumulated by some politicians compared to their official salaries. Cardone singled out Pelosi, claiming she’s never made more than $179,000 per year, yet her net worth is estimated to be around $120 million.

“If you do the math — most people just don’t do the math — she would have had to be in the Senate for 3,367 years to make that kind of money at her salary,” Cardone said.

Cardone highlights a common critique: A government salary simply cannot justify such wealth.

“If you make $179,000 a year, you will never be a millionaire, much less worth $120 million,” he said.

Tyson chimed in, suggesting that being in government might be a “cheat code” when it comes to accumulating wealth. Cardone agreed, implying that some politicians may be benefiting from undisclosed financial opportunities.

Cardone’s comments, while unsubstantiated about specific financial activities, point to a larger question: How do some politicians amass such wealth while serving in public office? This is a question that resonates with many Americans.

Cardone’s claims, while lacking evidence, raise an eyebrow and urge people to pay closer attention to the financial situation of their elected officials.

In 2012, the House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, took aim at Pelosi through amendments to rapidly advancing ethics legislation. The amendments introduced additional restrictions to bar government officials from receiving preferential access to initial public stock offerings. A high-ranking aide from the Republican side stated that the amendments, referred to as the “Pelosi Provision,” were designed to enhance the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act.

Since the introduction of the STOCK Act in 2012, there has been scrutiny regarding its effectiveness in curbing insider trading in Congress. A decade after its enactment, the STOCK Act has been criticized for falling short of eliminating the appearance of corruption and ensuring that Congress prioritizes public interest over personal gains. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted these shortcomings, as numerous members of Congress were investigated for insider trading after making stock transactions totaling over $150 million, often in companies likely to be impacted by the pandemic​​.

Despite its initial promise, the STOCK Act has faced challenges in achieving its goals. The consumer advocacy group Public Citizen’s analysis covering U.S. senators' stock trading activity from 2009 through 2015 indicates a significant decline in both the transaction values of stock trades and the number of stock transactions, suggesting that the STOCK Act has had an impact on reducing stock trading activity among senators. However, problems persist, such as senators continuing to trade stocks in sectors they oversee, and the weakening of the law's disclosure regime by Congress​​.

In response to ongoing concerns, there have been calls for further reforms to strengthen the STOCK Act. These proposals range from outright bans on stock trading by members of Congress to increased oversight of stock transactions. Such movements represent the most significant bipartisan efforts to reform the STOCK Act since its inception​​.

Pence refuses to endorse Trump in 2024

Mike Pence said on Friday that he would not endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, breaking with the man who tapped him as vice president only to make him the target of an angry mob for his refusal to help with efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence told Fox News.

The former vice president ran against Trump for the Republican nomination this cycle but bowed out of the race months before voting began after failing to gain any traction with voters.

Pence becomes the most prominent Republican to date to say he will not back Trump in the 2024 election. Other Trump skeptics, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have announced that they will back the presumptive nominee.

Republican Sen. Todd Young, also from Pence’s home state of Indiana, has said he will not support Trump’s candidacy.

Asked about his decision, Pence said it was driven by more than just anger over the riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, during which Trump-backing protestors called for his hanging.

“I’m incredibly proud of the record of our administration,” said Pence. “But that being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues. And not just our differences on our constitutional duties that I exercised on Jan. 6.”

Among those issues that Pence cited as Trump heresies included the national debt, his unwillingness to take a position on abortion restrictions and his recent reversal on banning Chinese ownership of the social media app TikTok.

“In each of these cases,” said Pence, “Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years.”

Pence declined to say how he would vote in November, save to rule out the current president.

"I'm gonna keep my vote to myself,” he said. “I would never vote for Joe Biden."

A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pence was never a serious factor in the presidential primary, dropping out in October amid weak polling and fundraising.

But his refusal to endorse Trump was reflective of a broader challenge the former president may have in winning over more traditionalist Republicans in November. A steady voice in the conservative movement for years as a House member and Indiana governor, Pence in 2016 endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the presidential primary, before embracing Trump.

When he did, it helped to legitimize Trump’s smash-mouth politics and connect them to the party’s mainstream. And when Trump picked him to be his running mate, many members of the party’s old establishment were relieved.

But Pence's resistance to Trump’s effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election infuriated many in the party's base, crippling his political aspirations as he broke with the former president.

Trump’s Bond: Part 2

A New York appeals court has given former President Donald Trump 10 more days to post his bond to satisfy the civil fraud judgement and cut the amount necessary to $175 million. It's a major lifeline for Trump, as he was facing a deadline today to secure a bond for the full $464 million judgment.

The order from the New York appeals court Monday means that former President Donald Trump and his sons can still run a business in New York and obtain loans from New York financial institutions for the moment.

Don Lemon demanded Tesla Cybertruck, $5M advance, equity in X

Don Lemon demanded the sun, the moon and the stars from the SpaceX boss – before being unceremoniously dumped this week, The Post has learned.

The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire’s social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content, according to a document reviewed by The Post.

Lemon — who was expected to air an interview with Musk for next week’s debut episode on X — had also demanded a private jet flight to Las Vegas, a suite for him and his fiance, and that the company pay for their day drinking and massages, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

Musk agreed to do the interview with Lemon despite the fact that he was aware of some of Lemon’s outlandish demands, sources told The Post.

The proposal reviewed by The Post was sent from Lemon’s agents at United Talent Agency to X’s leadership in December.

The partnership was announced in January, but an X spokesperson told The Post that the company “did not have a final or signed agreement with Don Lemon or ‘The Don Lemon Show'” before Musk sat down for the explosive interview last week.

X declined to comment on the details of the document.

Jay Sures, vice chairman at UTA, told The Post: “This is absolute, complete utter nonsense without an iota of truth to it.”

Lemon was fired hours after the one-on-one sit-down, with Musk calling the anchor “dull” and “underwhelming.”

The one-and-half hour grilling included testy exchanges about Musk’s political leanings, his past drug use and the site’s content moderation policy. It is scheduled to run on YouTube next week.

Lemon claimed on Wednesday that he was jettisoned by X because Musk reneged on his “free speech” pledge.

Lemon’s discussions with the company began shortly after he was fired by CNN last April after a series of high-profile incidents, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

In an interview with veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher on Friday, Lemon claimed they held discussions over the summer in which the company threatened to fire him if he did not attend the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.

CES, which was held earlier this year between Jan. 7 and 10, is one of the most highly anticipated events on the tech calendar as companies including X flock to the show in order to schmooze advertisers.

A spokesperson for X called Lemon’s claim “a disingenuous lie.”

Lemon wanted to be flown to the convention with his longtime fiance on a private jet and be put up in a private suite, as well as for X to foot the bill for alcoholic beverages and massages that he and his fiance ordered during their stay at the Vdara, the MGM-run resort on the Las Vegas Strip, according to people familiar with the matter.

The negotiations progressed after Musk brought former NBCUniversal advertising executive Linda Yaccarino on board as chief executive officer of X, sources said.

But the talks stalled over Lemon’s extensive demands, which included executive assistants as well as a marketing budget that ranged from $10 million to $15 million, people with knowledge of the situation told The Post.

A spokesperson for Lemon told The Post: “There is nothing in your list of demands that you claim Don made of X that is true. Literally nothing.”

By Suzanne Blake Reporter, Consumer & Social Trends FOLLOW 75 Companies are struggling to operate as Gen Z enters the workforce at higher rates, and a growing majority of employers say the younger generation is toxic for their business.

That's the latest from a new Freedom Economy Index report conducted by PublicSquare and RedBalloon this month. In the survey, 68 percent of small business owners said Gen Zers were the "least reliable" of all their employees. And 71 percent said these younger workers were the most likely to have a workplace mental health issue.

One of the surveyed employers spoke of Gen Z's "absolute delusion, complete lack of common sense, and zero critical reasoning or basic analytical skills."

The criticism for Gen Z workers was in full force, as less than 4 percent said Gen Z was the generation that most aligns with their workplace culture, and 62 percent said Gen Z was the most likely to create division and toxicity in the workplace.

Another employer noted the generation's tendency for "expecting promotions for simply showing up every day."

The toxicity could even lead to company lawsuits, as 57 percent said Gen Z run the most risk of creating a workplace lawsuit.

Dan Space, an HR consultant who runs DanFromHR.com, said since the study reflects the feelings of small business owners, it could be skewed. These types of businesses often do not pay well or offer a high-quality company culture, he said, and Gen Z tends to look for those in any type of role or career they take on, he said.

Clueless Kamala boogies along with Puerto Rican Spanish song mocking her

Vice President Kamala Harris was left red-faced during her visit to Puerto Rico on Friday after she was spotted clapping along to a protest song against her before realizing what it meant after an aide translated the lyrics.

The protestors held signs with messages, including “Kamala Harris war criminal” and calling the United States “genocidal” as they sang a protest song against her visit.

Harris could be seen smiling and clapping along to the protest song before abruptly dropping her hands when a staffer explained what was happening.

Watch

Full lyrics per @IstraPacheco

"We want to know, Kamala

What did you come here for?

We want to know, Kamala

We want to see

If you're going to talk about law 60

Or about the Fiscal Control Board

The vicepresident is here

Making history

We want to know

What she thinks of the colony

We will keep playing

The plena of our country

Long live Free Palestine

and Haiti too!"

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (TND) — Vice President Kamala Harris on a visit to Puerto Rico Friday clapped along to a protest anthem opposing her presence on the island.

Harris made the trip in part to tout the federal aid given to Puerto Ricans to remedy the effects of Hurricane Ian. In 2022, she fielded backlash from Republicans over remarks tying the funds to “equity” efforts.

A group of protesters at Friday's event, while pounding on drums, appeared to speculate over the political motivation behind her visit. The group also emphasized two controversies enveloping Puerto Rico.

“We want to know Kamala / what did you come to do?” a translation of a song protesters performed reads. “We want to know Kamala / What is going to happen / If you are going to talk about Law 60 / And the fiscal control board.”

Law 60 is a tax incentive allowing Puerto Rican residents to avoid federal tax on passive income. Though it was intended to bolster the island territory's economy, residents say Law 60 has enhanced gentrification, making it impossible to compete with wealthy buyers for housing.

“Fiscal control board” refers to Puerto Rico's Financial Oversight and Management Board, a federal entity created to fix the island's financial crisis. The Supreme Court ruled in 2023 the board had sovereign immunity and could not be subject to federal lawsuits despite complaints from journalists seeking documents on its operations.

“The vice president arrived,” the translation continues. “Making history / We want to know / What do you think of the colony? / We will continue playing / The fullness of my country / Long live free Palestine, And also Haiti!”

A clip of the interaction appears to show Harris clapping along to the beat.

Though Puerto Ricans living on the island cannot vote in the November presidential election, Harris's visit coincided with President Joe Biden’s campaign efforts to target U.S. Latinos and Puerto Ricans. Some residents said they viewed the visit as an insult.

“But that is a farce and political theater to Puerto Ricans like me living on the island,” Puerto Rican journalist Susanne Ramírez de Arellano wrote in Bloomberg. “She will find rampant gentrification pushing Puerto Ricans out of their homes and endangering environmentally precious land, a deteriorating infrastructure and a fed-up population.”

More than half of U.S. voters do not approve of Harris’s job performance, according to a poll released this month.

Kate Middleton and Prince William's united front fell apart

Exactly a week after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey catapulted the royal family into crisis in March 2021, Prince William and Kate Middleton released a photo on Mother's Day in the UK.

The picture, posted to their joint Instagram on March 14, 2021, was of a cake they said their three children made to remember Princess Diana. It was endearing and casual, far from Kate and William's typical social-media content.

Fast-forward three years, and the royal family has found themselves surrounded by controversy yet again. But this time, Kate and William are at the center of it, igniting weeks of speculation with a match in the shape of a digitally altered Mother's Day photo.

The scandal has been breathtakingly swift, turning the once-golden Prince and Princess of Wales into joke fodder for American late-night hosts — not to mention all of social media. The publicity has been so bad that even the British tabloids' loyalty is starting to crack.

Where did it all go wrong? When Kate and William stopped acting like a united front.

The royal family went on the charm offensive after Harry and Meghan's interview with Winfrey, and they knew Kate and William had to be on the starting lineup.

As the world slowly emerged from lockdown, William and Kate were suddenly everywhere. They visited Westminster Abbey to mark their 10th wedding anniversary, hung out with children on a farm, launched a joint YouTube channel, played soccer with more kids, and hosted a drive-in movie night — all before June.

The ensuing photos were a PR dream for the royal family: Kate with a goat! Kate laughing with a golf club! Kate holding a tarantula! Kate in sneakers!

There were also plenty of snaps of the couple together, and many noticed that William and Kate were suddenly more affectionate in public. That May, they visited the University of St Andrews — where they first met — and an Access Hollywood story noted that William "even affectionately put his hand on Kate's back in a tender moment we don't often see from the perfectly poised heir."

It came just a month after the couple released an anniversary portrait, accompanied by a playful Instagram video far more relaxed than their previous pictures.

William and Kate's public appearances in 2021 were a huge PR shift for the royal couple, celebrity brand management expert Eric Shiffer previously told Business Insider.

"They were manicured to the nth degree," he said, adding that they "played their public persona with a Buckingham Palace excellence, out of the playbook that's been mastered for centuries."

Kate and William's formal and polished persona was opposite to Meghan and Harry's easygoing and affectionate demeanor, which didn't go unnoticed by the public or press. By sharing their mental health struggles during the Oprah interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex positioned themselves as the antithesis of the royal family's tight-lipped and stone-faced "never complain, never explain" mantra.

"Harry and Meghan successfully came off as more human, more approachable, and more affectionate with their subjects," royal commentator Kristen Meinzer recently told BI. "Meghan was doing these things that came off as her own heart's desires, rather than 'I am doing this because I have to cut another ribbon.'"

Royal historian Clare McHugh previously told BI that Kate and William "really adjusted their style" after the Oprah interview.

"They realized if they don't, they'll be overshadowed by this couple living in California, so they have to show themselves," she said. "They have to reveal who they are more because that's the currency now. So they let the anniversary film out, and they have YouTube, and they make jokes. It's a new world."

Until it wasn't.

Halle Berry Recalls Her Doctor Saying She Had the 'Worst Case of Herpes' He'd Ever Seen

Halle Berry is detailing the bizarre way she learned she was in perimenopause.

During Propper Daley's fourth "A Day of Unreasonable Conversation" summit Monday, the actress had a candid conversation with First Lady Dr. Jill Biden about menopause and women’s health.

The 57-year-old shared that she learned she was perimenopause after her doctor mistook her symptoms for herpes. Perimenopause refers to the time where the body starts to make its natural transition to menopause, which marks the end of a woman's reproductive years.

“First of all, my ego told me that I was going to skip [perimenopause],” she began. “I'm in great shape. I'm healthy. I managed to get myself off of insulin and manage my diabetes since I'm 20 years old. So that makes one think, oh, I can handle menopause. I'm going to skip that whole thing. I was so uneducated about it at that time.”

Berry explained that when she was 54 she met the “man of my dreams” and started dating Grammy-winning musician Van Hunt. Sharing details about her sex life, the Oscar winner recalled having extreme pain after intercourse one day so she immediately visited her doctor.

“I feel like I have razor blades in my vagina. I run to my gynecologist and I say, ‘Oh my God, what's happening?’ It was terrible,” she recalled, teasing that she has “no shame” sharing her story because it can help other women. “He said, ‘You have the worst case of herpes I've ever seen.’ I'm like, ‘Herpes? I don't have herpes!’”

Berry said she immediately confronted Hunt about it. However, the couple later both tested negative for the sexually transmitted disease (STD).

“I realize after the fact, that is a symptom of perimenopause,” the actress said, noting that dryness is a symptom of the transitional period. “My doctor had no knowledge and didn't prepare me. That's when I knew, ‘Oh my gosh, I've got to use my platform. I have to use all of who I am, and I have to start making a change and a difference for other women.”

Berry ended the conversation asking the audience to “help us change the way culture views women at this stage of our life.”

Back in August 2023, the star spoke to Women’s Health about menopause and said she’s not going to surrender to society's expectations about it.

In fact, Berry said she’s “challenging all those stereotypes about how you have to look a certain way or feel a certain way” while she’s “smack dab in the middle of menopause.”

“I am challenging everything I thought I knew about menopause. Things like: ‘Your life is over.’ ‘You are disposable.’ ‘Society no longer has a place for you.’ ‘You should retire.’ ‘You should pack it up,’ ” she said at the time.

'Quiet on Set' docuseries getting a new episode

Investigation Discovery has just announced that Drake Bell, "All That" alum Shane Lyons and other former child stars will headline a fifth episode of "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV."

The docuseries has shocked more than 16 million viewers with revelations about what allegedly went on behind the scenes at Nickelodeon in its heyday, including that Bell had been sexually abused by his former dialogue coach Brian Peck.

The all-new episode, titled "Breaking the Silence" and premiering on Max on April 7 at 8 p.m. ET, promises to "delve deeper into the toxic and dangerous culture behind some of the most iconic children's television shows of the late 1990s and early 2000s, including allegations of abuse, sexism and racism."

According to Investigation Discovery, the new episode will feature former Nickelodeon child stars, including Bell, as some reunite for the first time to share their reactions to the docuseries, including Lyons.

"Building off the revelations explored in the first four episodes, award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien will lead the conversation in the new episode to discuss where the industry can go from here," Investigation Discovery notes.

The docuseries producers say participants previously featured in "Quiet on Set" like Bell and "All That" alums Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne, along with new voices like Lyons, "will come together ... for an important discussion about the industry, then and now."

Bell, who starred on shows like "The Amanda Show" and "Drake & Josh," revealed on "Quiet on Set" he was the "John Doe" in the 2003 child sexual abuse case against Peck, which resulted in Peck being sentenced to 16 months in prison and registering as a sex offender.

Bell's "Drake & Josh" co-stars Josh Peck -- who is not related to Brian Peck -- and Nancy Sullivan spoke out in support of him after his revelations.

Dan Schneider, the former Nickelodeon producer who is the topic of conversation for much of "Quiet on Set" for allegedly fostering a toxic work environment, has responded to the docuseries, saying it made him feel "awful and regretful and sorry."

Nickelodeon has also responded to the series, with the network saying it was "dismayed and saddened to learn of the trauma [Bell] has endured."

Of the claims of a hostile work environment, the network told ABC News that while it "cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct," adding that it has "adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to own high standards and the expectations of our audience."

Glen Powell to Be Inducted Into Texas Film Hall of Fame

Texas-born actor Glen Powell takes obvious pride in his Lone Star State roots, and still spends significant time at his family’s ranch outside Austin. It must be a particular thrill then to be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame — an annual honor that recognizes the best film talent associated with the state. IndieWire here exclusively announces Powell is now joining the hall of fame’s ranks.

You don’t have to be born in Texas (last year’s honorees John and Janet Pierson, long heavily involved with SXSW were not, nor was fellow honoree Warner Bros. co-chair Mike DeLuca) to receive the honor, but you need to have made an impact there.

And what an impact Powell has made in recent years, practically stealing the show out from under Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in “Top Gun: Maverick,” helping bring back the rom-com with “Anyone But You,” and appearing in multiple films by his friend Richard Linklater. It’s at Netflix’s Austin premiere of Linklater’s latest, “Hit Man,” that Powell will receive the award and be personally inducted by Linklater, who founded the organization that gives out the award, the Austin Film Society in the mid-1980s. That premiere will take place May 15 at the Paramount Theatre.

Then the next night, a Toast to Texas gala event at Austin’s Troublemaker Studios will honor Powell again. That will be a fundraiser for the Austin Film Society’s artistic and educational programs. Linklater is a regular at this event — last year he gave this reporter an update on “Merrily We Roll Along” and some solace to those who fear they may not live to see it completed 20 years from now. In fact, one of the items on auction at last year’s fundraiser was a chance to attend the premiere of “Hit Man” and meet Powell (another was to attend a 30th-anniversary screening of Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused” at a baseball field).

“It’s an honor to be part of inducting a fellow Austinite, my friend and collaborator Glen Powell, into the Texas Film Hall of Fame,” said Linklater in a statement shared with IndieWire. “The Texas Film Hall of Fame acknowledges Texans who have had a lasting impact on film culture, and Glen has already achieved this milestone. Glen’s incredible talent has been at the center of many Texas-made independent films, network television shows and now blockbusters like ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Anyone But You’ and ‘Twisters.’ He’ll be adding his name to the Texas Film Hall of Fame alongside fellow legendary Texans like Matthew McConaughey, Forest Whitaker, Sissy Spacek, and Cyd Charisse, to name a few. Of course, I’m delighted that he’s being inducted at the premiere of ‘Hit Man,’ which we wrote together.”

Jimmi Simpson, 2 time divorcee, is now in a serious relationship with 26 year social media influencer baby, Kyra Gardner.

Jimmi Simpson has officially given up. He's dating a 26 year old influencer, who he started sleeping with when he married to his second ex-wife, Sophia Del Pizzo. Not so sure why everyone thinks Jimmi Simpson is such a great guy. The man seems to have serious issues. He seems to only date women, excluding Melanie Lynskey of course, that are extremely immature and self-centered. Also, he's not that great of an actor. He's washed up. This whole relationship smells like a mid-life crisis to me.

Weird stuff your parents did

I was an advanced reader at age 7 which made me very proud. I could read multiple books concurrently and was always looking for something new. So one day my mother gave me a book she had read and thought I would enjoy. Flowers in the Attic. I took it to school where it was confiscated by my teacher who sent a note home offering to help me choose more appropriate reading material. My mom must have told her to fuck off because I never heard another word about it. Apparently this sort of thing ran in my family. My aunt later told me that when she was 13 her mother gave her a copy of Mandingo. 😳

Gay Parents Sue for Principal's Alleged Harassment of their Young Son

Physical abuse. Death threats. Confinement to a darkened room for hours on end. Those are just some of the things the gay parents of a Michigan first grader say the child suffered at the hands of a school principal – and the parents are suing.

Add to that list of alleged torments claims of verbal harassment, refusal to intercede in bullying from other students, and telling the child that his parents were destined to "burn in hell," and a picture takes shape of a scarring campaign of terror targeting an innocent little boy.

"The complaint, filed March 22 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, alleges Kasongo Kalumbula told the student, referred to as G.L., his parents would 'burn in hell,' and threatened to kill him if he told anyone about it," Wisconsin Public Radio reports.

"Kalumbula was G.L.'s assistant principal at Milwaukee French Immersion School at the time of the alleged incidents," the writeup details.

"The lawsuit also named the Milwaukee School Board of Directors," CBS 58 reported.

The suit says that Kalumbula "declined to protect G.L. when other students bullied him for having gay parents and targeted the boy with harsh and damaging discipline, once locking him in a dark room for hours," the report relayed, adding that the "lawsuit also details several times when G.L.'s parents reached out to MPS administrators and school board members for help but did not receive it.

"Instead, Kalumbula was promoted."

Utah grief author Kouri Richins also tried to poison husband with Valentine's Day sandwich

A Utah grief author charged with spiking her husband’s drink with a fatal dose of fentanyl faces an additional charge of attempted murder after authorities said she allegedly drugged him with a Valentine's Day sandwich in an attempt to kill him.

Kouri Richins was arrested last year on charges that included aggravated murder after authorities said she killed her husband, Eric Richins, at their home in Kamas, about 40 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, on March 4, 2022.

Eric Richins, 39, was found unresponsive in the home after having a drink to celebrate his wife's business deal. A medical examiner said he had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system and that it was "illicit" and not medical grade.

Charging documents filed Monday allege that was not the first time Kouri Richins slipped her husband drugs. On Valentine's Day 2022, authorities said Eric Richins nearly died after his wife brought him a sandwich.

The documents state that Eric Richins texted his wife and said he was not feeling good and that if he did not feel better soon he was going to the hospital. His wife, who was not home at the time, told him he should take a nap, according to the documents.

That afternoon Eric Richins reached out to two of his close friends and said his wife had left him his favorite sandwich from a local diner with a note, according to the documents.

He told one friend, "you almost lost me" and described breaking out in hives after taking a bite from the sandwich. He said he had to use his son's EpiPen and take Benadryl, prosecutors said in the documents.

"Eric Richins told Witness 1 that he had almost died," the charging documents state. "Witness 1 could hear the fear in Eric Richins’ voice and tell that Eric Richins was scared."

Eric Richins told the other friend he thought his wife had tried to poison him, prosecutors allege.

The documents state that opioids, including fentanyl, can cause allergic and pseudoallergic reactions, including hives. It also notes that Eric Richins did not have any food allergies.

Prosecutors said in the charging documents that Kouri Richins purchased illicit fentanyl before the Valentine's Day meal in 2022 and again before his death.

Kouri Richins was also charged Monday with two counts of mortgage fraud, two counts of insurance fraud and three counts of forgery. Prosecutors allege that she was in financial distress at the time of her husband's death and forged loan applications and fraudulently claimed insurance benefits after he died.

An attorney for Kouri Richins said they have reviewed the charging documents and "there is nothing in the documents that affects Kouri's approach to defending whatever charges the State levies against her."

"She continues to maintain her innocence," the attorney said in a statement.

Kouri Richins is currently in custody awaiting trial.

Advice needed: best way to share photos of home improvement projects

Datalounge, I need your assistance. I'm looking to host a variety of pictures I've taken of "before/during/after" home projects.

I'm looking to pick up extra work this year and the area I moved to has a lot of historical homes and owners looking for work to be done.

I can give the link to folks and they can browse at their leisure. This will not be for a website. This is a place to host pics of my work.

‘The Don Lemon Show’ in tailspin after being dumped by Elon Musk: ‘Nobody is watching’

Don Lemon’s new online show is grappling with a fast-shrinking audience after he was unceremoniously dumped by Elon Musk — and the pittance in revenue may not even cover the costs of his bare-bones production, The Post has learned.

The former CNN anchor — who had demanded millions of dollars, a flight on a SpaceX rocket and a Cybertruck before being fired by Musk’s social network X following a testy sit-down interview — suffered a massive decline in viewers for the second episode of “The Don Lemon Show.”

“Nobody is watching,” one media watcher told The Post. “Poor Don, he doesn’t realize people watched the first interview because of Elon — not him! Watching the Elon interview reminded everyone of how much they dislike Don.”

Lemon’s second show with tech journalist Kara Swisher, which was posted on X and YouTube last Wednesday, has garnered just 190,000 and 93,000 views, respectively, as of Tuesday morning.

That’s a fraction of the views from his interview with Musk, posted to both sites on March 18, which has amassed 2.2 million views on X and 1.2 million views on YouTube as of Tuesday.

His interview with Swisher wasn’t even reposted by the well-known tech journalist, who, like Lemon, has 1.5 million followers on X.

“She knew it was so bad that she has ditched him and not promoted,” said another media insider.

The cratering viewership has come despite Lemon’s whirlwind media tour in the wake of the Musk fiasco. He returned to CNN for an interview with Erin Burnett, and made appearances on “The View,” the “Tamron Hall” show and “The Dan Abrams Podcast.”

“To start strong and then immediately fizzle is worse than starting slow and building an audience,” the source said.

Neither X nor YouTube provided estimates on Lemon’s earnings.

“The second episode of The Don Lemon Show garnered twice the number of impressions and views on X compared to YouTube,” according to X. “But in contrast to numerous creators who have effectively harnessed the potential of X and its community, The Don Lemon Show did not employ any active advertising strategies to enhance the visibility of its organic posts on the platform and attract new viewers.”

“Active advertising strategies” means no paid advertising to boost the posts or other marketing or advertising efforts.

Lemon’s spokesperson told The Post: “Don is one week into hosting a brand new show with a distribution model that is in its earliest stages for people who do what he does.

“Having reached more than 3 million people with his very first episode, it’s hard to imagine many content creators like him having a better launch,” the rep added. “He’s thrilled, and looks forward to building his audiences across all the platforms he is working with.”

Lemon dropped his third episode Monday, interviewing Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks. The show has had 68,000 views on X and 7,424 on YouTube as of Tuesday morning.

For Lemon to come close to raking in the salary he made at CNN, estimated at between $4 million and $7 million, he will have to launch a subscription model, get sponsors for his shows or do product placement, according to Alex Taub, co-founder and CEO at Truth Arts.

“How you monetize content is through ads and how you get ads is through eyeballs,” Taub told The Post.

A source with knowledge of X’s monetization told The Post, “If he got the numbers he got with the Musk interview, he would be considered a low- to mid-tier creator.”

Hattie McDaniel Out At MGM

After much contention and bitter dispute, Hattie McDaniel is without a studio home, having been released from her MGM contract.

Unnamed insiders say the tension began when Miss McDaniel demanded to be seated at her own table at the Oscar ceremony, sitting away from her Gone With The Wind costars.

Further tension increased when she openly courted Walt Disney to be considered for a role in his announced movie project “Song of the South.”

Calls for comment to Miss Vivien Leigh and Mr. Clark Gable went unanswered.

In response, Judy Garland penned a letter to Variety magazine which stated, in part, “Hattie McDaniel is a talented actress and should seek out studios that appreciate her talent. MGM has long ignored the needs of the artists who poured their blood, sweat and tears into the profitability of that studio.”

Below Deck Season 11 - Grenada

I'm really loving it.

Jared the Bosun is hilarious and weird. He seems stoned most of the time.

Fraser is being an absolute cunt this season. What crawled up his tight ass? And why does he keep calling himself "Mother?"

At first I didn't like Cat, but after hearing her story, I feel bad for her. I'm almost forced to like her.

Barbie is a feisty Latina firecracker.

Not sure what's the trip with Xandi, but she's just odd.

Sunny is cute. She and Ben would make a nice couple, if Ben didn't keep throwing her under the bus.

Kyle is cute too. His Irish accent makes him better looking than he actually is, though.

Speaking of Kyle and Ben, I am LOVING the shots in their cabin, where they keep exposing their bare asses to each other (and us)! On the show, Ben comes across as a total womanizer, but I swear, something about him is very gay. I especially loved the scene where he was rubbing lotion all over Kyle's back - all the way down to his exposed ass!

And the French Chef. He's tres gay, even though he is trying to pretend that he's straight.

I loved his hilarious story about how he got married at 26. Then his uncle offered his wife a job on a yacht as a Stewardess, and she never contacted him again. So he said now it's just him and his cat. Rofl!! Honey, your wife knows you're gay!

This season is very entertaining.

Anyone who know claim to have seem a ghost/something supernatural? Do you believe them?

I have a relative who is usually very stoic and easy going. Rarely shows emotion, happy or sad, but is neutral most of the time.

However, he once told me about a ghostly encounter he had in his early twenties. He was riding his bike along an isolated stretch of countryside. It was a bright, sunny day and there was nobody else around, and no cars. As he continued down the road, he noticed a person in front of a billboard, hunched over like they were doing something in the grass. When this person saw my relative approaching, he stopped whatever he was doing in the grass, hide behind the billboard for a moment, then came back out and stuck his thumb out like he was trying to catch a drive.

My relative found this weird because he was on a bike, not a car, so it's not like he could offer the guy a drive. As my relative rode closer, he noticed how strange-looking the man near the billboard was. He said his neck was way too long, his face was small and the lower face was smooth with no mouth or jaw. The eyes were huge, and he was wearing a cap or beret. No nose, just nostril holes. He was really tall and had very long arms. My relative said the moment he saw this guy, he was overwhelmed with a surge of primal fear, like he was looking at an uncanny valley creation.

He rode away as fast as he could, and looked over his shoulder to see the guy staring at him in the distance, now with his arms behind his back. My relative got genuinely teary-eyed telling me this story, and looked very uneasy. I'm usually a skeptic, but whatever he saw must have been real to him.

My Rescue Cats Are Killing Me

I took possession of two rescue cats a fortnight ago. They have clawed at my expensive European wallpaper and destroyed my fine furniture. They eat and poop constantly, I keep at least two litter boxes in each room but they do not use them. They have peed on everything. They fling their feces at the ceiling. It’s on all my beautiful vintage light fixtures. Whenever I leave the house they both immediately vomit on my pillow. When I am home they make that hairball coughing sound and look at each other and smile. They steal money, credit cards, jewelry and drugs. They are constantly having lesbian cat sex, scissoring on my bar cart (I think they like the mirrored surface). There are puddles of God-knows-what everywhere. It breaks my heart to see the destruction they have caused in my home. It's not fair to them or to me to continue living like this. Whatever shall I do?

THE WAR AT STANFORD: I didn’t know that college would be a factory of unreason.

Written by the son of Peter Baker and Susan Glasser.

[quote]One of the section leaders for my computer-science class, Hamza El Boudali, believes that President Joe Biden should be killed. “I’m not calling for a civilian to do it, but I think a military should,” the 23-year-old Stanford University student told a small group of protesters last month. “I’d be happy if Biden was dead.” He thinks that Stanford is complicit in what he calls the genocide of Palestinians, and that Biden is not only complicit but responsible for it. “I’m not calling for a vigilante to do it,” he later clarified, “but I’m saying he is guilty of mass murder and should be treated in the same way that a terrorist with darker skin would be (and we all know terrorists with dark skin are typically bombed and drone striked by American planes).” El Boudali has also said that he believes that Hamas’s October 7 attack was a justifiable act of resistance, and that he would actually prefer Hamas rule America in place of its current government (though he clarified later that he “doesn’t mean Hamas is perfect”). When you ask him what his cause is, he answers: “Peace.”

I just watched LaLa Land for the first time, and it was surprisingly good

I'm not a fan of musicals, much less modern musicals.

Still, I was bored this weekend and it was one of the free movies on my "On Demand" cable service, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The songs were not bad, and the acting was very good.

But the cinematography... that was just excellent. It portrayed Los Angeles in such a good light.

I've lived in LA, and let me tell you that this movie did it justice, and then some.

But by far, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were my favorite things about this movie.

I really can't imagine any other two actors in their roles (especially the original actors hired for the role - Miles Teller and Emma Watson).

What a nice reunion for both Emma and Ryan to be reunited again seven years later, at this year's Academy Awards.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Are Living ‘Separate’ Lives After She Skipped the Oscars

It was the biggest night of Ryan Gosling’s career. At the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, the Barbie star — who was up for a Best Supporting Actor trophy — brought the house down with a rousing rendition of “I’m Just Ken,” his hit (and Oscar-nominated) song from the movie’s soundtrack. A-listers like Margot Robbie and Emma Stone danced and sang along, while Hollywood heavyweights congratulated him after his history-making performance.

There was one person who wasn’t there to share in the magic of the moment: Ryan’s wife, Eva Mendes. “People were surprised Eva wasn’t by Ryan’s side,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “It was a huge evening for him, and she was nowhere to be found.” While the actress, 50, was spotted backstage earlier, and later paid tribute to Ryan, 43, on Instagram, Eva’s glaring absence points to trouble in paradise for the couple of 13 years. The parents to Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7, are hanging on by a thread, the source says, as they struggle with jealousy and fights over expanding their family. “Ryan and Eva don’t like to go to events together, but the Oscars were different. It just goes to show how separate their lives are.”

Behind the scenes, Eva’s feeling resentful of Ryan, says the source. In 2012, she put acting on the back burner to focus on being a mother and wife. “Eva has given up a lot to support Ryan and be a hands-on mother to their two daughters,” says the source. Now, as his career continues to skyrocket, Eva is feeling insecure and having trust issues. “Ryan goes to set and enjoys his work and interacts with his colleagues, while she’s sitting home caring for their kids with no other social life.”

They recently spent six months in Australia while Ryan filmed his upcoming flick, The Fall Guy, with Emily Blunt. “Eva was cut off from her family and friends,” says the source, adding, “it created a lot of jealousy.” While Eva loves being so involved at home, it can be overwhelming. “It hasn’t been easy for her to be the primary parent as Ryan pursues so many acting roles,” explains the source. “She adores being a mother and supporting Ryan, but that doesn’t mean it’s not difficult at times.”

The cracks are starting to show publicly. On the night of the Oscars, the Hitch actress shared a post on Instagram of her posing backstage in the pink bedazzled blazer Ryan wore. The caption read, “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.” It was a strange choice of words, says the source. “It almost felt like she was nagging him. Couldn’t she have just let him enjoy the rest of the evening? It was a big night for him, and she’s pressuring him – on Instagram for everyone to see – to come home as soon as possible. It was a little bizarre.”

According to the source, Ryan sets the tone for the relationship. “It may not seem obvious, but he’s very dominant and dictates how they live their public life,” says the source. “He insists on their ultra-private image, and from the beginning he was the one who decided that they would not step out together.” The source says Ryan is more moody and serious than he lets on. “He lived in his own house — separate from Eva — until they had their first child. That kind of shows his true personality,” says the source.

It was his call to not announce they’d tied the knot, says the source. Eva referred to Ryan as her husband during an interview in 2022, but aside from that reference, they don’t publicly say they’re married. “Ryan is intensely private,” says the source, “so there’s a lot of mystery surrounding them as a couple. The fact that they seem to live separate lives only adds to the mystique.”

Brothers aged 21 and 18, attacked by mountain lion in Northern California

An El Dorado County family has identified the two men attacked by a mountain lion in Northern California over the weekend, one of whom died from his injuries in the state’s first fatal mountain lion attack in two decades.

In a statement forwarded through the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, the Brooks family of Mount Aukum identified the men as Taylen Brooks, 21, and Wyatt Brooks, 18.

Taylen Brooks died after the mountain lion mounted his attack Saturday afternoon along a rural road southeast of Georgetown. His brother, Wyatt, is still recovering from “traumatic” injuries he suffered in the attack, the Sheriff’s Office and family said in the release.

The Brooks family in a written statement said Taylen Robert Claude Brooks worked with his father, painting houses and cutting firewood. The family said the older brother loved being outdoors.

“He truly enjoyed fishing and was an extremely talented guitar player,” family said in the statement. “He was a very kind and gentle soul and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.”

The younger brother Wyatt — an avid baseball player and an ardent bow-hunting enthusiast — has been training to become a firefighter since September at the Mt. Adams Fire Academy. His family said the young man aspires to work with Cal Fire, California’s wildland firefighting agency.

The family said the brothers had gone out Saturday in search of deer antler sheds — a pastime they did together frequently in the spring before the grass grew too tall to see the shed antlers. That day was also the start of junior turkey hunting season, so the brothers chose not take any firearms with them to avoid attention from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The attack was roughly 5 miles southeast of Georgetown off of Darling Ridge Road above the Kelsey area, 70 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento. The rolling but heavily forested landscape is ringed by large private properties on the western fringes of Eldorado National Forest.

The brothers were walking along Skid Road where they encountered the mountain lion.

The brothers tried to scare off the mountain lion, but the lion immediately charged at Wyatt, biting down on his face and taking Wyatt to the ground. Taylen yelled and beat on the 90-pound cougar as his younger brother was able to wrestle the lion to the ground with him on top of the lion.

At one point, the mountain lion released Wyatt and charged at Taylen and took him to the ground. Wyatt — with severe lacerations to his face — beat on and grabbed the big cat. After some time trying to get the mountain lion to release his older brother, Wyatt went to get help.

Deputies located the two brothers after the attack, and authorities pronounced Taylen Brooks dead at the scene. Law enforcement fired their weapons to scare off the cougar, which was found by game wardens and trappers and euthanized later that evening near the scene of the attack.

“These two young men being as close as any two brothers could be, lived a full energetic life enjoying the outdoors,” the family said in the statement. “A brother is a friend given by nature. These two brothers were driven by nature.”

The family statement also described the brothers, residents of the unincorporated Mount Aukum community in south El Dorado County, as avid hunters and anglers.

Deadly mountain lion attacks are exceptionally rare. The mountain lion responsible for this attack — which was euthanized this weekend after state trappers found it treed — weighed roughly 90 pounds. It was male, officials said.

Adult male mountain lions usually weigh between 130 and 150 pounds. Adult females weigh between 65 and 90, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Mountain lions tend to hunt alone at night and are typically scared of humans.

State wildlife officials’ list of verified mountain lion attacks on humans shows the last fatal attack in California happened January 2004 in Orange County.

Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Garth Brooks each have a bit of experience with fictional musicians (see: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Captain Fantastic, and Chris Gaines). And soon they’ll be joining forces with another fictional band, Spinal Tap, in Rob Reiner’s upcoming sequel to This Is Spinal Tap. Reiner revealed on Richard Herring’s podcast RHLSTP that the three musicians would appear in the long-awaited mockumentary sequel, which is set to film in February 2024. Reiner previously announced Spinal Tap’s reunion last year, with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer all set to return as the band’s members. The new film was reported to be modeled after Martin Scorsese’s the Band doc The Last Waltz — so should we expect McCartney, John, and Brooks to be joining the band on a blowout farewell tour?

"No-shampoo" trend is growing among younger men and teen boys

The #nopoo and #noshampoo movement that’s been prevalent on social media in recent years appears to be gaining steam among teen boys and young men.

But experts are warning that flaking on shampoo could cause dandruff, irritate the scalp, stunt hair growth, and worsen scalp problems.

“Conditions that make the scalp itchy can mean that people scratch, breaking hair off at the roots,” Dr. Anastasia Therianou, a dermatologist and scalp specialist based in London, told the Daily Mail this week.

“But also, if sweat, oil and dirt block the follicles, you can find that the hairs don’t grow as efficiently as they could,” she added.

Ireland elects its first millennial prime minister

Meet Simon Harris, 37-years-old and Ireland’s first TikTok prime minister

Harris, a 37-year-old minister best known for helping steer the country's initial response to COVID-19, will set out some of his priorities to party members at an event in the Irish midlands town of Athlone on Sunday.

He will then be voted in as Ireland's youngest ever prime minister when parliament next sits on April 9 thanks to support from Fine Gael's coalition partners.

Harris will have no more than a year to save the coalition from defeat at parliamentary elections. Polls for the last three years have put Sinn Fein, a left-wing party that backs unification with Northern Ireland, a British province, as the favourite to head the next government.

However, two more polls on Sunday confirmed a recent trend of support for Sinn Fein dropping off highs of 12-18 months ago, though they again broadly showed smaller parties and independent candidates as the beneficiaries over the government parties.

Minneapolis Gay Bar, One of America's Oldest, Hit Hard by Fire

The 19 Bar, a gay establishment in Minneapolis that's among the oldest gay bars in the U.S., suffered a devastating fire on March 22.

CBS News reported that "a freak accident" sparked the blaze when "a garbage truck clipped a nearby power pole Friday afternoon."

"The pole then fell over and started a fire at the bar."

"Fire ripped through parts of The 19 Bar's basement, first floor, and ceiling" local news channel KSTP 5 reported, "causing some serious damage."

The news clip detailed that no one was hurt in the incident, but patrons told the news station that the bar was "a neighborhood institution" and "like a second living room."

One witness, Chiquita Plowman, told CBS News, "I felt the vibration from the explosion."

Added Plowman: "I looked out my window [and] saw the fire shoot up from the building."

Longtime patron Bubba Thurn, whose pronouns were shown onscreen as "they/them," told KSTP 5 that the bar was "the oldest queer bar in Minnesota, and possibly in the Midwest, at 76 years old."

Sondheim's A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC *briefly* revived at Lincoln Center

No, not a revival, but a concert production. Kind of hilarious to me that Susan Graham is playing the lead role and yet she's not mentioned in some headlines, like this one. And Cynthia Erivo fans may be disappointed to attend and find out she basically has one song.

Kind of underwhelming casting overall. Is this some vanity project from the producer? It's not Lincoln Center, the Phil, or Lincoln Center Theatre themselves producing -- they're just renting out the venue, essentially. Cool to see Tunick involved, though.

Christine Baranski

She was born in Buffalo, educated in New York City, and currently lives a quiet life in New England. She got her start on the stage, appearing in diverse productions from Hamlet to Company to The Cherry Orchard. Soon the juicy roles followed. First in films such as Reversal of Fortunate, The Birdcage, Cruel Intentions, and Chicago. However, she became a household name appearing in television; Cybil, The Good Wife, and, most recently, The Gilded Age, where she has been nominated for a staggering 13 Emmys.

Despite always appearing prim, posh, and well mannered, she claims it was an act she learned against her blue collar roots. "I think I decided early on that I wanted to speak a certain way, and it was a projection on my part," she says, "I wanted to go to New York and be a theatre actress, and I’m living my image of the kind of woman I wanted to be."

And she succeed. Let's discuss the great American actress Christine Baranski.

Entertainment realities

It isn’t just music that has lowered talent requirements; it's all entertainment areas. Theater is nonexistent; the only thing they do onstage these days is redos of past hits. Movies are mainly action, computer-driven garbage or cartoons, and TV shows are unwatchable with poor scripts. We watch English or Australian TV shows for entertainment. I don’t see this improving in the future, given the taste levels of their audiences."

Bonnie Aarons (aka "The Nun")

Her appearance is so jarring!

Unsurprisingly, she was told in acting school that she would never find work in Hollywood, because of her nose.

And still, she seems to have a pretty lengthy body of acting work.

Though she has a face that "only a mother could love," I think that she is perfect casting as "The Nun."

There is a rumor that Timothée Chalamet spread chlamydia across the NYU campus while he was a student. In the fall of 2015, the actor was enrolled at the New York University. Though he allegedly left in the spring the following year, Timothee's legacy at the campus apparently lived on. In 2018, a rumor started to spread that the young actor had a sexually transmitted disease. Now, it’s all over Twitter with NYU alumni stating that this rumor is nothing new to them.

Florida high school cheerleader accuses school administrators of sexual assault during disciplinary paddling

"Inside a Florida high school principal’s office, Brooklynn Daniels found herself alone with two men and a wooden paddle “that was thick like a chapter book.”

In about a third of Florida school districts, and concentrated in rural panhandle enclaves like Daniels’s Liberty County, corporal punishment as a form of student discipline remains deeply ingrained in the culture. It’s why on this morning in early December, school leaders instructed the 18-year-old to bend over a desk.

What came next — a paddling that left deep purple bruises and welts for a minor school offense that Daniels said stemmed from a misunderstanding about Christmas decorations on a campus door — was far beyond routine student discipline, the Liberty County High School senior told The 74.

It was, she alleges, sexual assault.

“They were so eager to go in there and spank me,” said Daniels, who said she was struck by Assistant Principal Tim Davis, a former Major League Baseball player who pitched for the Seattle Mariners, while Principal Eric Willis observed and laughed. “They took their time, they watched me.” Florida is one of 16 states where laws explicitly allow educators to use corporal punishment on students, and the practice is not expressly prohibited by laws in an additional seven states, according to a recent review by the U.S. Department of Education. In a letter last year, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona urged state lawmakers and school leaders “to move swiftly toward condemning and eliminating” a practice that “can lead to serious physical pain and injury,” is associated with heightened mental health issues, stunted brain development and hindered academic performance. Nationally, federal data show that corporal punishment is disproportionately used on students of color and those with disabilities. "

NBC News hires former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel

NBC News on Friday announced that it had hired Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chair who has repeatedly attacked the network and its journalists, assailed the news media as “fake news” and promoted false claims around the 2020 vote, as an on-air commentator ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, senior vice president of politics at NBC News, said in a memo to staff.

McDaniel exited the RNC earlier this month after leading the organization since 2016.

During her time as chair, McDaniel repeatedly attacked the press, which has become increasingly popular in Republican circles over the last several years as Donald Trump demonizes journalists and news institutions.

McDaniel echoed many such attacks, labeling the press as “fake news” and calling the media “corrupt.” At times, she even targeted NBC News and MSNBC with dishonest attacks.

In 2019, for instance, McDaniel accused Richard Engel, NBC News’ chief foreign correspondent, of “actively cheering for an economic downturn.”

“How can NBC let him keep his job when he’s made his bias so clear?” McDaniel asked.

McDaniel has a lengthier history attacking the progressive cable news channel MSNBC, which she will appear on in her new role. In recent years, she has repeatedly attacked the channel for “spreading lies” and blasted those she described as the network’s “primetime propagandists.”

An NBC spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment about her attacks on the news media and NBC.

In her role as RNC chief, McDaniel also fanned the flames of election denialism after the 2020 presidential contest.

McDaniel was involved in a phone call in 2020 to pressure Michigan county officials not to certify the vote from the Detroit area, where Joe Biden had a commanding lead. McDaniel told the officials, regarding the certification: “Do not sign it. … We will get you attorneys.”

The Michigan Department of State’s office condemned her claims of supposed voter fraud in the wake of the election, stating they had “no merit.” The state’s “elections were conducted fairly, effectively and transparently and are an accurate reflection of the will of Michigan voters,” it said in a detailed fact check posted online.

In an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace last year, McDaniel defended her claims of voting “irregularity” in the election.

“I think saying that there were problems with 2020 is very real. I don’t think that’s election denying,” McDaniel told Wallace. “I’m from Wayne County. We had a woman send a note saying I’m being told to backdate ballots. We had to look into that. That’s deeply concerning. When you have friends who are poll-watching and being kicked out, that’s deeply concerning. We have every right to look at that.”

In the interview, Wallace pressed McDaniel if she believed Biden legitimately won the election.

“I think there were lots of problems with 2020. Ultimately, he won the election but there were lots of problems with the 2020 election,” she said. “But I don’t think he won it fair. I don’t. I’m not going to say that.”

NBC’s hiring of McDaniel, however, plays into a recent trend at the network’s outlets, which has seemingly softened its stance on Trump as he inches toward the Republican nomination for president.

Earlier this month, CNBC hosted Trump for a lengthy phone interview in which the network’s anchors allowed him to peddle lies and conspiracy theories on air without scrutiny.

MSNBC has even started carrying Trump’s remarks live on television, a practice that the network boasted for years it would not do. Star host Rachel Maddow, who has said carrying Trump’s lies on the air is dangerous, even objected to the network broadcasting a recent speech from the presumptive Republican nominee, calling it “irresponsible.”

The ship that caused the Baltimore bridge collapse also crashed in a European port in 2016

The container ship that collided with Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge was involved in another crash in 2016.

The Dali, a Singapore-flagged ship, crashed into the bridge early on Tuesday, knocking its whole span into the Patapsco River.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was hurt or killed, but authorities declared the collapse a mass-casualty event.

It wasn't immediately clear why the Dali crashed.

ABC News, citing US officials, said that the Dali lost propulsion soon before hitting the support pillar. Livestream video viewed by Business Insider showed the ship's lights cutting out shortly before impact.

It is not the first time the Dali has hit something.

The ship was involved in another collision in July 2016, the year after it was built.

Maritime blogs, including Shipwreck Log and VesselFinder, posted videos of the stern of the same container vessel scraping against a quay in Antwerp, Belgium.

The facts here are still murky — but spotting any warning signs or patterns in the ship's past could help explain what went wrong, and how to avoid similar accidents in the future.

VesselFinder reported that the incident was caused by a mistake made by the master and pilot on board. No injuries were reported, however, there was damage to the stern, the blog post said. The aftermath of the collision was shared on YouTube by ZP Videos.

A spokesperson for the Port of Antwerp confirmed to Business Insider that the Dali did collide with the quay there in 2016.

However, the person said they "can't give any information about the cause of the accident."

The ship has appeared to change ownership after the 2016 crash, VesselFinder reported.

In the 2016 video the ship had its home port marked as Majuro in the Marshall Islands.

Its registration later changed to Singapore, as seen in an image taken in 2018.

It is currently owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd. and is managed by Synergy Marine Group, Reuters reported. It had been chartered by the shipping giant Maersk, and its next stop was Colombo, Sri Lanka.

In a statement sent to Business Insider, Maersk said it was "horrified" at the crash. It said the Dali was carrying Maersk cargo but that none of its staff were on board.

Deacon Phillippe shows off his NYC Apartment. Jealous, bitches?

Deacon Phillippe is showing off his New York City apartment — and it’s unreal.

Deacon, 20, who’s the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, was stopped on the street by TikToker Caleb Simpson and asked to give a tour of his pad. (Simpson has made a name for himself on social media for interviewing people about their homes, including stars like Christie Brinkley.)

“Location: West Village. Occupation: Student 👨‍🎓,” the caption of the video posted via Instagram on Tuesday, November 14, read, tagging Deacon.

The video began with Simpson inquiring how much Deacon’s crib costs, to which he played coy by replying, “West Village prices, man.” The New York University student then said he has time to show off his new place “between classes.”

When Simpson walked into the apartment, he panned the camera to show a spacious two-floor set up, with a spiral staircase in the middle. “Don’t hit your head,” Deacon warned, pointing out that the staircase is “a little sketchy.”

After Deacon introduced Simpson to his two roommates, the TikToker investigated how much food the trio had in their apartment. “Not bad, actually,” he declared, showing a glimpse of the fridge which was noticeably sparse.

Deacon then led Simpson over to their “vinyl wall,” which featured several albums hanging from exposed brick. The space also included Deacon’s plant, whom he affectionately named Darryl.

For the next part of the tour, Simpson stopped by Deacon’s bedroom equipped with a keyboard next to his desk. “Studio setup,” the actor and musician explained. “I sing and play a little bit of keyboard but I mostly make music on my computer.”

After Deacon played a short sample for Simpson, the video closed with a snapshot of the bathroom. In true New York City fashion, the space was tight with a door that just barely squeaked past the side of the sink.

Deacon dropped his debut LP, titled A New Earth, in April. The album release party was attended by his parents and sister Ava Phillippe.

“Awesome night w family & friends celebrating the release of ‘A New Earth’ by @deaconphillippe !!” Ryan, 49, captioned his Instagram post at the time.

Witherspoon, 47, and Ryan were married from 1999 to 2006 and welcomed Ava and Ryan in 1999 and 2003, respectively. Following their split, Witherspoon tied the knot with ex-husband Jim Toth, whom she divorced in March. The pair share son Tennessee, 11. Ryan, meanwhile, shares daughter Kai with ex Alexis Knapp.

Deacon made his acting debut in season three of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, which was created by one of Witherspoon’s pals, Mindy Kaling. After collaborating, Kaling, 44, gushed about working with Deacon.

“We were breaking the season and there was this role that seemed like it would be perfect for Deacon,” she explained in August 2022. “He’s obviously so talented and he’s great-looking, and we just thought he would be great and he was excited to come and do it.”

Aaron Rodgers is even crazier than we all thought!

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has confirmed that among his potential vice-presidential prospects is New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who in private conversations shared deranged conspiracy theories about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting not being real.

CNN knows of two people with whom Rodgers has enthusiastically shared these stories, including with Pamela Brown, one of the journalists writing this piece.

Brown was covering the Kentucky Derby for CNN in 2013 when she was introduced to Rodgers, then with the Green Bay Packers, at a post-Derby party. Hearing that she was a journalist with CNN, Rodgers immediately began attacking the news media for covering up important stories. Rodgers brought up the tragic killing of 20 children and 6 adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming it was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it.

When Brown questioned him on the evidence to show this very real shooting was staged, Rodgers began sharing various theories that have been disproven numerous times. Such conspiracy theories were also later at the center of lawsuits brought by victims’ families when they sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on the matter.

Jones baselessly repeating lies that the 2012 mass shooting was staged, and that the families and first responders were “crisis actors,” spawned multiple lawsuits and a trial was held in 2022 over lawsuits that were filed in Connecticut.

Family members throughout that trial described in poignant terms how the lies had prompted unrelenting harassment against them and compounded the emotional agony of losing their loved ones.

Brown recalls Rodgers asking her if she thought it was off that there were men in black in the woods by the school, falsely claiming those men were actually government operatives. Brown found the encounter disturbing.

Rodgers, through one of his agents, declined to comment to CNN.

CNN has spoken to another person with a similar story. This person, to whom CNN has granted anonymity so as to avoid harassment, recalled that several years ago, Rodgers claimed, “Sandy Hook never happened…All those children never existed. They were all actors.”

When asked about the grieving parents, the source recalled Rodgers saying, “They’re all making it up. They’re all actors.”

Rodgers went on to delve into some of the darker caverns of the false conspiracy theory. This person found the encounter disturbing.

Kennedy’s campaign announced Wednesday that the candidate will name his running mate on March 26 in Oakland, California. Kennedy told CNN in an interview on Tuesday that he had recently met with Rodgers, as well as former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, about the possibility of joining his campaign.

The immediate praising and coddling of first responders directly after a tragedy - Is this a uniquely American thing?

There's currently a live press conference on the Baltimore bridge collapse and the opening monologue by the Maryland Governor, and each of the subsequent people at the podium talked about nothing but the police and "first responders", of course with the gratuitous "Maryland Strong!" quote thrown in. They're going on and on about how incredible the first repsonders have been, how proud they all are of them, their bravery etc. etc. But the rescue and recovery are just beginning. WHY must first responders be so coddled and praised by default so immediately? I love and appreciate the cops, for the most part, fire fighters, paramedics, et al. I really do. But why must every tragedy have them at the center of everything? They didn't even provide technical information until the reporters started asking questions. All they did was come out and start gushing over first responders.

Crime Pays (You just have to pay a small fraction back in restitution)...Just so long as you are a white Republican!

Texas AG Ken Paxton reaches deal to end securities fraud charges after 9 years

HOUSTON (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday agreed to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution under a deal to end criminal securities fraud charges that have shadowed the Republican for nearly a decade.

The announcement by special prosecutors in a Houston courtroom came less than three weeks before Paxton was set to stand trial on felony charges that could have led to a prison sentence. It was the closest Paxton — who was indicted in 2015 — has ever come to trial over accusations that he duped investors in a tech startup near Dallas.

Under the 18-month agreement, the special prosecutors would drop three felony counts against Paxton as long as he pays full restitution to his victims, and completes 100 hours of community service and 15 hours of legal ethics education.

Paxton said nothing in the courtroom, other than affirming to state District Judge Andrea Beall that he signed the agreement, and he avoided reporters by leaving the court through a back door.

Jimmi Simpson's marriage collapse is complete

Jimmi Simpson, one of the stars of HBO's Westworld, has filed for divorce from wife Sophia Del Pizzo.

The 45-year-old actor reportedly filed for divorce on July 26 in the Los Angeles County Courthouse, according to The Blast.

Jimmi married Sophia on April 5, 2019 and the divorce filing states that they separated a year and seven months after their wedding. That puts their split date at around November 2020.

Sophia, 32, is an English actress who appeared alongside Jimmi in an episode of Hulu's Into the Dark. She also appeared in an episode of his Epix series Perpetual Grace, Ltd.

In an interview in 2019, Jimmi talked about the interesting story behind their wedding.

"Basically Sophia and I were planning on getting married last fall and then Perpetual Grace came. This career, as my family knows, it's a blessing and a curse. Yes, I get these opportunities, but goddammit, I can't hold a family meetup date for anything," he told Los Angeles Confidential. "At the end of the shoot we were like, 'Okay, we have a month and a half before things get silly again. How do we organize all the families?' She's from London, so her family would need to come in from there. I have family all over the country. And we just looked at each other and said, 'I want to get married! Let’s just get married because it'll feel nice.' And so, we set up an appointment at the courthouse, went in and got the rules, and then we went about calling our folks for permission.

Immigrant Kids as young as 14 were found working at a Tennessee factory

Immigrant children as young as 14 were found working illegally amid dangerous heavy equipment at a Tennessee firm that makes parts for lawn mowers sold by John Deere and other companies, according to Labor Department officials.

The company, Tuff Torq, was fined nearly $300,000 for hiring 10 children. As part of a consent agreement with the federal government, the company is also required to set aside $1.5 million to help the children who were illegally employed. Ryan Pott, general counsel for Tuff Torq’s majority owner, the Japanese firm Yanmar, acknowledged the violations to NBC News.

“The department will not tolerate companies profiting on the backs of children employed unlawfully in dangerous occupations,” said Seema Nanda, the department’s chief legal officer, whose office obtained the consent judgment against Tuff Torq. “Tuff Torq has agreed to disgorge profits, which will go to the benefit of the children. This sends a clear message: putting children in harm’s way in the workplace is not only illegal, but also comes with significant financial consequences.”

The Labor Department did not specify what work the children were doing. But Labor official Juan Coria said what his investigative team found in Tuff Torq’s “very busy” Morristown manufacturing plant was “astonishing.”

Coria, southeast regional administrator for the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division, described an environment that he says caused anxiety among his investigators who witnessed children as young as 14 working late at night at the 24-hour manufacturing facility amid power-driven equipment that was being moved around the plant.

Pott, the general counsel for Tuff Torq’s majority owner, said the child workers were temporary and were not hired directly by Tuff Torq. He said they used fake names and false credentials to obtain jobs through a temporary staffing agency, and said Tuff Torq is “transitioning” away from doing business with the staffing company.

“Tuff Torq is dedicated to ensuring that their products and services are produced under ethical conditions, with a strong emphasis on fair labor practices, and Tuff Torq is further strengthening our relevant training and compliance programs,” said Pott. “We are also actively engaging with our suppliers to reinforce our expectations regarding ethical labor practices and collaborate with them on implementing our updated policies.”

According to the Labor Department, within 30 days Tuff Torq must also hang signs at every entrance to the plant that say, “Stop! You must be at least 18 years of age to enter and work in this building.”

Nanda said through such agreements the agency is sending a message to the company and its whole community of suppliers and contractors. “They will look at their supply chain meaning their contractors, their staffing agencies, and make sure that they are doing these things as well.”

John Deere did not respond to a request for comment.

Labor officials say their investigation into the company began almost a year ago, in spring 2023, and investigators visited the facility multiple times. Officials declined to say what sparked the investigation.

The Labor Department has prioritized child labor enforcement since last spring amid a 152% increase in children found to be illegally employed since 2018, according to department figures.

Timmy Chalamet Signs Warner Bros. Deal to Star in and Produce New Movies After ‘Wonka’ and ‘Dune’ Success

“Warner Bros. is doubling down on the business of Timothée Chalamet. The studio signed a multi-year feature film deal with the actor to collaborate on future projects as a star and producer.

Chalamet led back-to-back box office hits for Warner Bros. with last December’s “Wonka” ($632 million globally) and this March’s “Dune: Part Two” ($575 million globally and counting). According to the studio, he became the first actor in four decades to star in the top two domestic films that were released in eight months.

Chalamet will enjoy a salary bump after those box office riches. The actor earned more than $8 million for “Wonka,” according to sources. Now, he’s looking at paydays in the double digits for leading roles in studio films.”

Principal allegedly hurt & threatened to kill a first-grader with gay parents

A Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) principal has been accused of viciously bullying and harassing a first-grade student whose parents are gay. A recently filed federal lawsuit alleges that Kasongo Kalumbula, currently the principal at MPS’s Bethune Academy, singled out the unnamed student for physical and verbal abuse while he was an assistant principal at the Milwaukee French Immersion School (MFIS) between the fall of 2018 and some time during the 2021–2022 school year.

According to CBS 58, the suit alleges that Kalumbula “began a campaign of harassing and threatening conduct targeting” the student that lasted several years following a meeting with one of the first grader’s parents to address bullying the student had been subjected to on the playground. During that initial meeting with Kalumbula and the school’s principal, Kalumbula allegedly screamed “no queer is going to speak to me like this!”

Kalumbula allegedly locked the student in a dark room for over an hour in the spring of 2019 and threatened to kill him if he told anyone. After he was again bullied by other students for having gay parents in the spring of 2021, Kalumbula allegedly told the student that most people believe it is wrong to be gay and that he (Kalumbula) believed that gay people are “evil” and will “burn in hell.”

After a new MFIS principal informed Kalumbula that the student’s parents had expressed concerns about the harassment the following September, Kalumbula allegedly shoved the child against the wall in the school’s hallway. Kalumbula allegedly “grabbed the child by the arm,” pulling him into an office a few days later.

According to the lawsuit, which names Kalumbula as well as the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, the student’s parents repeatedly attempted to address the situation with Milwaukee Public Schools. But, they allege, “at no point did anyone from the MPS administration offer supportive services or protective measures.” Instead, the suit claims, they faced hostility from staff that was so severe that they eventually moved their child to a school in another district in the middle of the school year. The student remains in treatment for anxiety and trauma resulting from Kalumbula’s alleged harassment.

The suit also claims that at least three other LGBTQ+ families pulled their children out of MFIS due to Kalumbula’s “discriminatory attitudes.”

In a statement to CBS 58, a spokesperson for MPS declined to comment on the lawsuit but said that the district “takes its responsibility for students seriously and acts when issues are identified.”

Ecuador's youngest mayor, Brigitte García, killed amid a state of emergency

Ecuador’s youngest mayor and her press officer were found Sunday shot to death in a vehicle amid an ongoing state of emergency, police said.

Brigitte García, the 27-year-old mayor of San Vicente and member of the left-wing Citizen Revolution Party, was found alongside her advisor, Jairo Loor, in the vehicle, Ecuadorian police said in a social media post on X.

Ecuadorian police found the two that morning without vitals and with gunshot wounds, according to the social post.

Police said they’re working to figure out a motive for the shooting.

After collecting ballistics evidence and conducting a preliminary investigation, police determined the shots were fired from inside the vehicle.

Investigators continue to analyze the car's route, which appears to be rented, Ecuadorian police said in an X post shared later that afternoon.

Luisa Gonzalez, a member of the Citizen Revolution Party who ran to become president of Ecuador in 2023, called García’s death an assassination.

“I've just found out they've assassinated our fellow mayor of San Vicente Brigitte Garcia," Gonzalez said in a post on X. “I have no words… no one is safe in Ecuador.”

García’s death comes after President Daniel Noboa issued a nationwide state of emergency in January and declared Ecuador was in a “state of war” against gangs after violence ensued following "internal armed conflict” and the prison escape of alleged "Los Choneros" gang leader Adolfo "Fito" Macías.

Macías' gang is accused of numerous car bombings, kidnappings and murders, NBC News reported.

Noboa extended the emergency order by an additional 30 days on March 7.

The 36-year-old president who designated 22 gangs as terrorist groups said the extension would help "keep military patrols going in prisons and violent areas of the country, maintain order and reduce homicides," Reuters reported.

During the emergency order, intentional homicides have been halved — dropping from an average of 24 a day to 12 a day, according to the outlet.

So far, the Ecuadorian government confirmed that 1,534 people have been arrested and five “terrorists” were killed during more than 15,000 operations around the state, the Guardian reported.

The U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador advised Americans abroad to follow "all local laws, including curfew guidance and the requirement for a criminal record check for foreigners entering the country via land border crossings from Colombia or Peru."

“U.S. citizen residents and travelers should continue to exercise increased caution throughout the country, should reconsider travel to areas marked as ‘Level 3,’ and should not travel to areas marked as ‘Level 4’ in the advisory,” according to a U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador news release.

Three U.S. citizens were murdered in Ecuador in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs. The data for 2024 and 2023 was unavailable as of Tuesday.

"U.S. citizens should be aware that individuals not connected with criminal organizations may use the current conflict to commit crimes of opportunity," according to the release.

She recently forked over $4 million to help finance a Super Bowl ad for Kennedy’s campaign, one in which he compared himself to his uncle, John F. Kennedy.

Candace Cameron Bure Reveals She Moved Out of Los Angeles for ‘Security Reasons’

Candace Cameron Bure has moved out of Los Angeles.

“Many of you have asked, ‘Did you move?’ Yes,” the Full House alum, who was born in Los Angeles, California, shared via Instagram Story on Saturday, March 24. “‘Why?’ Mostly for security reasons. Also, family dynamics have changed. The kids don’t live in Los Angeles anymore. Mama will go where they go! I travel a lot. The seasons of life.”

Cameron Bure’s move came almost one year after her daughter, Natasha Bure, left California for Texas in August 2023. (Cameron Bure shares daughter Natasha, 25, and sons Lev, 24, and Maksim, 22, with husband Valeri Bure.)

In a video shared by Natasha via YouTube at the time, she explained that she wanted to leave LA to break out of her “little bubble” and open herself to new experiences.

"It's going to be a challenge for sure, but I think it'll be a good challenge for me. I know the city really well," she said. "I have so many friends that I really love, but I want to get out of my comfort zone and try something new."

She added, "I want to meet new people. I want to learn lessons, I want to grow and I feel like where I am right now in my life, this is like the perfect opportunity to go and get out of my comfort zone and go do something that is different and that I normally wouldn't do."

As for Cameron Bure, Great American Family revealed in February that she will star in a new movie franchise, Great American Mysteries, starting with the first installment: The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker. She will be joined by Ginny & Georgia star Aaron Ashmore.

“There’s nothing more exciting for me than being back in the cozy mystery genre,” Cameron Bure said in a statement to Deadline on February 27. “Mysteries are so fun to watch and to try to solve. I hope our faithful fans and audiences fall in love with the townspeople of Sweet River, Texas and Ainsley McGregor’s keen eye for solving mysteries.”

Cameron Bure announced in April 2022 that she had left Hallmark Channel to join Great American Media, where she would have a more active role in curating the network’s programming as Chief Creative Officer.

“I’m very excited to develop heartwarming family and faith-filled programming and make the kind of stories my family and I love to watch,” Cameron Bure said in a statement at the time. “I am constantly looking for ways that I can inspire people to live life with purpose. GAC fits my brand perfectly; we share a vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants to watch programming for and with the whole family.”

"Girls5Eva"

I got Peacock to watch "Poker Face" and came across this show. It's hysterical – a flash-in-the-pan girl group from the late 1990s, now in their forties, decide to reunite and tour.

The casting is great. Renee Elise Goldsberry is the group diva; obviously she's a great singer but she's also a very funny comedienne. Busy Philipps is very good as a Botoxed Jersey housewife and Paula Pell is a riot as a bitter lesbian dentist. Sara Bareilles plays the "normal" mother who works in a restaurant.

Very funny writing as well. If you liked "Difficult People" or "The Other Two" you'd likely enjoy this.

Producer who accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs adds Cuba Gooding Jr. to sexual assault, harassment lawsuit

A music producer who filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs last month has now accused actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of sexually harassing and assaulting him, an amended federal complaint filed Monday night shows.

The amended civil complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan hours after federal officials searched Combs’ homes. Combs is a subject of a federal investigation, and several people have been interviewed by federal officials in Manhattan in relation to allegations involving sex trafficking, assault, illegal narcotics and firearms, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Representatives for Combs, 54, did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment Monday.

The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, filed his original lawsuit against Combs and others in February, alleging that Combs forced him to procure sex workers and pressured him to engage in unwelcomed sex acts with them.

The amended suit alleges that Gooding groped Jones while on Combs’ yacht.

An attorney and representatives for Gooding did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Monday.

Gooding “began touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders,” Jones’ the suit states.

Jones “was extremely uncomfortable and proceeded to lean away from Mr. Gooding Jr.,” the lawsuit says. “He rejected his advances and Mr. Gooding Jr. did not stop until Mr. Jones forcibly pushed him away.”

Attorneys for Jones said in the lawsuit that the incident happened on a yacht rented by Combs in the U.S. Virgin Islands in January 2023. It accused Gooding of sexual assault and misconduct.

Gooding has not been charged with any crime.

In a different case, Gooding pleaded guilty in 2022 to a misdemeanor charge that he forcibly kissed a worker at a New York nightclub in 2018.

He completed alcohol and behavior modification counseling, was then allowed to withdraw that plea and then pleaded guilty to a lesser harassment violation, resolving the case with no jail time.

On Monday, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants at properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami, sources told NBC News.

There has been no information connecting Gooding to any of the searches, and it is not clear what the searches entailed.

Combs has been accused of misconduct in civil cases filed by four women. One was quickly settled and three are pending. Combs has denied the allegations in those lawsuits.

“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he said in a December statement.

Jones said in the lawsuit that he worked on Combs’ latest album, “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” The album was released in September 2023 and was nominated for a Grammy.

The suit alleges, in part, that Motown Records, and others, benefited from his work on the album, but that he was not fully compensated.

Monday’s amended complaint filed by attorneys for Jones contains a declaration by former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam who it appears to show her willing to testify about the contract involving “The Love Album.”

A spokesperson for Universal Music Group, which owns Motown Records, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit seeks damages, including punitive damages, but does not specify an amount, seeking amounts to be determined at trial.

How Grindr tamed gay desire

It is telling that, as we mark the 15th anniversary of Grindr, my mind immediately turns to dystopian science fiction. In E.M Forster’s 1909 short story “The Machine Stops”, our protagonists (a mother and son) exist in a twisted future where single individuals reside permanently in isolated rooms underground. Residents of these secluded burrows have all their wants and needs catered for by a highly developed AI, which is simply referred to as “the Machine”. As everyone is separated, all interactions must occur via a mediated screen (a forerunner to Zoom). It is a barrier that the son, Kuno, longs to overcome, begging to see his mother face to face:

“I want to see you not through the Machine,” said Kuno. “I want to speak to you not through the wearisome Machine.”

“Oh, hush!” said his mother, vaguely shocked. “You mustn’t say anything against the Machine.”

Grindr launched as a mobile app in 2009, the brainchild of a gay Israeli-American tech entrepreneur, Joel Simkhai. It provided a seamless tech-mediated way for gay and bisexual men to interact in their area. The app promised, and arguably delivered, a hassle-free way to screen and select casual sexual partners with none of the pitfalls of in-person conversation. It was a runaway success, earning Simkhai millions, and becoming a staple in the lives of gay men across the world. The company went public in 2022, a feat which was hailed by commentators as a sign of LGBTQ+ inclusion in the business and finance world.

On paper, being anti-Grindr seems a bit like being “anti-freedom” — the projection of prudish, old-fashioned sensibilities onto techno-sexual liberation. Even the typical propogandists of grievance, those who accuse the app of perpetuating racism or “body fascism” or “femme-phobia”, just want equal access to this clearly emancipatory tool for the gay community. Gay men, particularly young gay men, are promiscuous; it’s in our nature. We do not play by the same rules of fidelity and desire as those of more conventional taste. But Grindr, far from furthering and expanding the opportunity for gay desire, has not truly augmented this state of affairs. Instead, it has diminished it, fundamentally reducing the erotic frisson, if not the availability, of casual encounters.

Algorithmic screening, of course, is no longer just for gay guys. In her studies Cold Intimacies and Why Love Hurts, Eva Illouz has extensively documented the pernicious effects that the rise of dating apps like Tinder and Hinge has had on heterosexual romantic love. Dating apps, by design, have led to the over-intellectualisation and rationalisation of mate-selection. Many young people are now paralysed by choice and the exhausted task of trying to dissect and screen a potential partner, applying a cold set of metrics to ensure time is not wasted on hopeless duds. What Illouz documents for straight romance is equally true of the role of apps like Grindr on gay sex.

The Andy Cohen Reckoning is finally happening

A bombshell new lawsuit paints a damning picture of the behind-the-scene culture at reality TV giant Bravo as a dysfunctional club that “thrives off” hard drugs, encourages alcohol abuse and turns a blind eye to sexually predatory behavior.

Court documents filed on Tuesday by one of its former stars, Leah McSweeney, even claim that it’s an open secret that the network’s figurehead, Andy Cohen, snorts cocaine with a coterie of his favorite “Real Housewives” stars, and doles out special professional favors to his employees-cum-personal-party-pals.

Meanwhile, the papers claim that the network is aware that a different senior producer “routinely sends unsolicited pictures of [their] genitalia to lower-level… production employees,” but the papers claim that higher-ups have done nothing to stop it.

Am I the only one who found Feud: Capote vs Swans unwatchable?

Am I the only one who found this unwatchable?

Roast me if you must but this missed the mark in every way for me.

Zero character development (we were presumed to have known who these ladies were and the power they had). If I didn’t watch Real Housewives, Lee Radziwell would be a complete mystery to me. And the rest of them, outside of Babe and Truman are outside of my scope entirely.

That set work was appalling.

No cohesiveness to the entire series in terms of story lines - I mean…why no background on Bill sleeping with literally everyone but I guess that goes back to my first point.

I expected more from the fashions. My Grandma dressed better than that to go to the grocery store.

I want a redo from the perspective of the women - one that I can actually watch all episodes of…

I noped out on this around E4 because it was a total snooze fest. I guarantee the real stories were 1000x more salacious than what we were given.

In general, I think Ryan Murphy has lost the superpower he once had. Nip/Tuck is unmatched in watch-abilty as an example.

AHS was must see tv that I don’t even watch anymore…could someone be doing Feud better?

I appreciate the dialogue and vintage pics shared by this group but I don’t know that I’ve got it in me to sit through another season of this…

S1 could have been incredible but was marred by overacting and over- directing and lack of character development. You can’t just assume everyone is going to know the backstory on these characters and without the backstory the feud doesn’t matter.

Jack Dylan Grazer, Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Martell, and Wyatt Oleff.

Looks like they're all either 21 or turning 21 this year, and surprisingly they still hang out together.

I was wondering if they're still finding work, and it seems that most of them are.

Finn Wolfhard (by far) has the most Instagram followers at 22.9 million, Jack has 3.9 million, Jaeden has 3.6 million, and Wyatt has 2.5 million.

Finn is in the new Ghostbusters movie, Jack is in a television show called Spiderwick Chronicles, Jaeden was in Arcadian, and Wyatt was in a tv show called City on Fire.

All still seem bisexual or nonbinary.

Jack is still the wild one. He hangs around with a guy called Damon Baker who is a trans-looking former drug addict. This one kind of shocked me, because I hope he doesn't steer Jack in the wrong direction.

Blanket Jackson asks LA judge to stop grandmother from using estate funds for her legal battles

Michael Jackson’s son Blanket is asking a Los Angeles judge to stop his grandmother from using money from the iconic singer’s estate to fund her ongoing legal battles against the estate’s executors over their recent $600 million deal with Sony.

In court filings obtained by Billboard, Blanket argued Monday that the estate shouldn’t foot the bill for Katherine Jackson’s pending appeal, in which she’s challenging a ruling last year that gave co-executors John Branca and John McClain approval to proceed with an unnamed transaction.

While the disputed deal itself is not explicitly named in legal documents, it appears to be the Jackson estate’s estimated $600 million deal to sell part of the singer’s catalog to Sony, the terms of which were first reported by Billboard last month.

Monday’s objections highlight a recent rift between Katherine and Blanket. Both of them initially opposed the estate’s proposed transaction, but after the judge ruled last year that the deal could move forward, Blanket and Jackson’s other children accepted the decision. Katherine opted instead to keep fighting, filing an appeal that remains pending.

In December, Katherine filed motions asking that the estate pay for her legal bills stemming from her objections, including the ongoing appellate case. But in his filing on Monday, Blanket said it would be “unfair” to force him and his siblings to pay for that case, since his grandmother’s efforts face “long odds.”

“It is readily apparent that a reversal on appeal would be an extreme longshot,” wrote lawyers for Blanket, who now uses the name Bigi. “Given those odds, Bigi decided not to waste his resources to participate in an appeal. Nonetheless, Katherine has decided to appeal this court’s ruling. That decision is not for the benefit of the heirs.”

It’s unclear exactly how much Katherine is seeking. In a court filing earlier this month, Branca and McClain said she had asked for more than $561,548 to cover her legal fees for both her initial objections and the current appeal. In that filing, the executors said they strongly opposed any estate payments for her “failed objection” and “meritless appeal.”

In his filing Monday, Blanket didn’t entirely oppose his grandmother’s request. He argued that the estate should, in fact, pay her legal bills for her initial opposition to the deal — arguing that she had presented “essential evidence” about the proposed transaction and that “all heirs and beneficiaries benefited from this court’s scrutiny.”

But he also argued the actual dollar total she had requested “might be high,” and questioned whether she had really needed to hire “four lawyers charging fees of $840 to $1,400 per hour.” And he argued any legal fees for the ongoing appeal should be entirely denied, since the ruling allowing the deal to proceed had been “reasoned and detailed.”

“Katherine’s petition has the practical effect of requiring Bigi and his siblings pay for her appeal,” Blanket wrote. “It would be unfair to make those beneficiaries shoulder this burden when they expressly decided an appeal would not be in their best interests.”

An attorney for Katherine Jackson did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. Reps for the Jackson estate declined to comment.

Taylor Lautner’s Wife Tay Admits They ‘Sometimes’ Get ‘A Little Nervous’ to Have Kids

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, are basking in newlywed bliss, but they aren’t ready to expand their family yet.

“Sometimes we get a little nervous. How do we raise kids [who] are going to be able to speak up for themselves or feel like they can talk to us about this? It scares me,” Tay, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly on Saturday, March 23, at the Change Your Brain Foundation x The Lemons Foundation pickleball tournament. “How do you raise a child now? I’m very thankful for people like Dr. [Daniel] Amen and a lot of my friends have kids or are just having kids. Getting to watch them walk through it and having the support from people like Dr. Amen to help facilitate independence or whatever it may be is great.”

The Lautners, who cohost “The Squeeze” podcast, had recently welcomed Amen for an episode to discuss raising “mentally strong children.” Both Taylor, 32, and Tay are mental health advocates, which inspired them to start their Lemons Foundation nonprofit.

While Taylor and Tay are not in a rush to welcome children, it remains one of their goals for the future. “Definitely [at] some time at some point, there will be [kids],” Tay teased.

The Twilight star and Tay, a registered nurse, met through Taylor’s sister, Makena Moore. After three years of dating, Taylor proposed. They wed one year later in November 2022.

“It's the best. I'm so thankful. He’s a gem. He's my golden retriever — that’s what I call him. He’s just joy on Earth,” Tay gushed to Us. “We've been together for seven years now, so it's been really cool because we kind of got to go on our mental health journeys together.”

Since their nuptials, Tay has loved seeing her husband share his mental health struggles and subsequently “strive to better himself.”

“It’s really encouraging to me and makes me want to do better, too, which is awesome. To have a partner that respects it as much and is on the same mission for life is great,” she said. “He wants to help people just as much as I do so it's really cool that we get to do it together.”

Tay further noted that her and Taylor’s “great communication” skills have helped their mental health journeys.

“That is something we've had to work on. We've been through a lot,” she said. “People always say, ‘How's the first year of marriage?’ And we're like, ‘You know, it's actually great.’ We've been through so much life together already so we've learned how Taylor communicates, how I communicate and that's just the biggest thing. When we do have a disagreement, we're able to communicate. Like, I can't process things right away, whereas Taylor knows what he wants so he's able to be like, ‘OK, let's come back to this in a little bit. I know you don't know what's going on so we can come back to it.’”

The Lautners had promoted their mental health advocacy and nonprofit at Saturday’s pickleball tournament in Newport Beach, California.

“We're just hoping to spread awareness about brain health and mental health. We're here to play some pickleball,” Tay added. "We’re here to eat some good food, have some great conversation and just have a good time.”

The life and death (murder) of closeted gay actor Dick Kallman

Dick Kallman was an actor in movies and television in the late 50s and 60s.He was also an accomplished singer who recorded an album of standards for EMI in London, when he was accompanied by orchestras conducted by John Barry and Ennio Morricone. In 1975, he joined a partnership to manufacture women's play clothes and party clothes and also began working as a dealer in antiques, silver, and art.

Richard Kallman was also a gay man. On February 22, 1980 Richard and his partner Stephen Szladek were murdered in Kallman's Manhattan apartment by three men who gained entrance and stole a lot of valuable art, antiques, and jewelry. It was a well planned and executed heist and it took over a year before the three were caught and even longer for them to be tried, convicted, and given lengthy prison sentances.

27-year-old Charles Lonnie Grosso of Queens was convicted of the killings and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. None of the paintings, jewelry, and antiques stolen from the apartment were ever recovered.

Gwyneth Paltrow says ‘f–k you’ to Bill Clinton for falling asleep, snoring during ‘Emma’ screening

Gwyneth Paltrow had some choice words for Former President Bill Clinton after he fell asleep and snored during a 1996 screening of her hit film, “Emma.”

During an appearance on “Hot Ones” Thursday, the Oscar-winning actress was asked about the rumor that Clinton actually “passed out asleep” during a screening at the White House.

“True. He was snoring right in front of me,” Paltrow, 51, confirmed to host Sean Evans. “I was like, ‘Wow, I guess this is going to be a real hit movie.’ But it was. So f–k you, Bill Clinton.”

In the hit film, Paltrow plays the role of Emma Woodhouse, a young woman in 19th Century England who focuses on setting her friends up with romantic partners.

The film became a box office hit, grossing nearly $40 million worldwide on a production budget under $8 million.

It scooped up two Academy Award nominations; one for costume design and another for original score, winning the latter.

Elsewhere during her chat with Evans, Paltrow slammed superhero movies for lacking originality, despite having previously starred in the “Iron Man” films.

The mom of two said there has been an active focus on quantity over quality in the Marvel franchise.

“If I look at the industry as a whole, there’s this sort of big push into superhero movies,” she explained.

“I mean, you can only make so many good ones that feel truly original and yet there’s still, you know, always trying to reach as many people as possible, which sometimes hinders quality or specificity or real point-of-views.”

Paltrow added that some movies she’s been a part of during her glittering career would simply not be green-lit today.

“So, I mean, you’re absolutely right,” she added. “I grew up doing those movies and I sometimes lament the fact. Like, I look back at some of the movies I made in the ’90s and think that just wouldn’t get made now.”

Paltrow has since strayed away from the acting arena and has shifted her entire focus into her successful lifestyle brand Goop, which she launched in 2008.

Minnesota Nice: Secretive Billionairess buying up properties snaps at her chilly new neighbors

Kathy Cargill wife of one of the Cargill heirs bought up multiple properties in Duluth, MN over the last year, paying well above market-price for them. When neighbors, the media, and the mayor raised questions, Cargill got angry. Her supposed and until now secretive plans - to build parks and community infrastructure - are now on hold, she says, because everyone in Duluth is so damn nosy and ask too many questions.

She's not selling the land she bought however. Instead she is now adding more landscaping so none of her new neighbors can see her estate. And she's also now saying all the properties she bought were total dumps and that even the best property was rat-infested.
