The Final Countdown

What do you think of this arse?

Bethany Joy Lenz claims she was given a shockingly blunt explanation of One Tree Hill, before signing on to spend nine seasons as Haley James Scott.

In her upcoming memoir Dinner for Vampires, the actress recalls having an awkward conversation with her manager, hours before her final chemistry read for the show. Lenz said it was the night before her screen test when she got a call from her manager, who had just spoken to an executive from the show.

"I have a direct quote that I’ve been asked to relay to you, to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into before you sign this contract,” Lenz recalled her manager saying. She was then told exactly what the exec had said: “You tell her this show is about f---ing and sucking and if she’s gonna have a problem with that, she shouldn’t come in tomorrow.”

As Lenz recalls it, both her and her manager were speechless. But after a moment, she began giving the comment some serious thought.

At this point, Lenz — who was raised as an evangelical Christian — had previously turned down the opportunity to star in the Amanda Bynes sitcom, What I Like About You because she worried that playing a woman who lived with her boyfriend would “normalize ‘living in sin’ for young girls." (The role was instead filled by Jennie Garth.)

But despite the blunt warning about One Tree Hill, Lenz didn’t want to give up her pursuit of the show.

In her memoir, Lenz explains that she was attracted to the show because it “felt different from most bubble-gum TV with subliminal agendas.” She had no interest in limiting her career to stereotypical faith-based dramas that “lacked the complexity and nuance of real-life.”

She added, “Grit didn’t scare me, and the One Tree Hill pilot had grit.”

She was also comforted to know that she would fill the role of the “awkward girl next door” who she identified as the "most wholesome" member of the main cast.

"I didn’t feel too at risk of being objectified,” she wrote. “I believed in this show and its ability to send meaningful, uplifting messages to the audience.”

So she told her manager to pass her interest along: “Just tell him I understand what he’s saying. I’m not gonna try and stop them from writing about real teenagers. I believe in this show and I want to be a part of it.”

The next day, Lenz went to the chemistry read where she met Chad Michael Murray and landed the gig in the room.

Though she would stick with the show throughout its entire nine-season run, Lenz wrote that the “f---ing and sucking” comment would come back to haunt her whenever she made an effort to push back against creative decisions — including being asked to film a scene while wearing only a bra.

"When I stood my ground as a matter of religious modesty, my manger would get a call, 'She’s being difficult again. We told you what this show was about,’” Lenz wrote. “And, in fairness, they did. The ‘f---ing and sucking’ executive has been very clear about that. I guess I just looked at my character and figured that would be other people’s storylines.”

I'm Barbara Eden, hiding from Desi in my dressing room.

I mean, seriously?

What do we think?

Any truth to this rumor? Supposedly, actress Teresa Graves from the '70s series GET CHRISTIE LOVE! was Whitney's bio mom. John Houston had an affair with her, and after Teresa died tragically, Cissy took Whitney and raised her as her own. I never did think Whitney resembled Cissy in the slightest. Teresa would have been around 15 when she gave birth to Whitney, which could explain a backdoor adoption as John Houston was in his 40s at the time!

I booked a trip to Paris for late November, and I decided to stay near CDG airport and commute to the city daily, rather than staying in Paris itself.

What's the easiest way to Paris from a hotel near CDG?

I was thinking of catching the hotel shuttle to the airport every day, and then maybe taking a train from the airport to the city.

Is there a train from the airport to the city, and is it easy to navigate? Also, how much does it cost and how early/late does it run?

What stop(s) would be a good starting point to just get off at, and then walk around to explore the city?

I know this is a weird way to vacation in Paris, but I don't like being far away from the airport, especially in a big city that is unfamiliar to me, plus the language barrier.

Also, my return trip is early in the morning, so it's just easier for me to be close to the airport.

The NY Jets just won another game with Aaron as quarterback against the New England Patriots.

So this season, they've lost one game (the first of the season), and they've won two.

Just curious

There’s something that happened specifically in the pronoun conversation too. I use he/him pronouns at this point. You [his wife Bethany C. Meyers] use she/her pronouns. Not to say that we’re opposed to they/them pronouns. I just really don’t care about it in the same ways that I did back in the day. Call me whatever you want, just make sure you call me a type of thing. I don’t mind it [they/them pronouns]. I truly don’t care.

I feel like a man more than I ever have in my entire life right now you know and I f***ing stand by that. It’s such a great feeling. It’s not to say that I won’t feel more fluid in the future, right? I can still f***ing sass out from time to time, but I’m in my truth right now and it’s real.

But there’s something that happened in our infertility where we were just experiencing roadblock after roadblock after roadblock and the pronoun conversation was this unnecessary roadblock that we were continuing to just face head on and I just had to let it go. I just had to move on. There was too much coming at us at once and that was part of just the release. There’s so much release that needs to happen to create life.

We are different people since having our first daughter Kilmer Dove … but shift happens and it’s real.

More information about Liam Payne’s tragic death is coming to light.

After the former One Direction member died on Oct. 16 at the age of 31 due to a fatal fall from a balcony at the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, his official cause of death has been confirmed.

According to a release shared by Argentine officials, the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 16 reported that the autopsy for Liam found his cause of death to be “polytraumism (multiple traumatic injuries), internal and external hemorrhage."

Coroners confirmed that the 25 injuries described in the report coincide with those expected from a fall at a height, while noting “the head injuries were sufficient to cause death, while the internal and external hemorrhages in the skull, thorax, abdomen and limbs contributed to the mechanism of death.”

The release confirms no evidence of defensive wounds were found to be present that would suggest “the intervention of third parties." A toxicology report is reportedly still pending, though the release confirms " series of substances were seized from the musician's room, which would prove a previous situation of alcohol and drugs consumption."

Prior to the autopsy findings, Buenos Aires emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti provided additional information about Liam’s fall, noting the singer’s injuries were so severe first responders were unable to treat them upon arriving at the scene.

“Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life,” he explained to the Argentine publication La Nación in Spanish. “Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.”

He continued, “The team could do absolutely nothing. There was no resuscitation because it was confirmed that he had died. The whole body had very serious injuries.”

I was tempted today by what purported to be an analysis of Trump’s political resurrection.

What brought Trump back to power?

1) the “gatekeepers to cultural respectability” a diverse group of people who have said things Stephens finds objectionable), 2) Biden (for running again, and for not clarifying in a 2022 speech that not all MAGAs are threats to Democracy), and 3) Democrats (apparently entirely represented by the Colorado Secretary of State) for seeking to enforce the 14th Amendment and for arguing against the Republican description of the American economy as “darkness at noon.”

Apparently, these sins are what compel the GOP to be an anti-democratic cult.

This is what passes for insight?

As an astrologer, we aren't particularly good at predicting elections (actually we're no better than random) but a strange thing happened this summer when there was a poll for presidential results, keeping in mind the candidates at the time were Biden and Trump.

Several responses said, 'This is so weird, neither one of them look like they are going to win."

HA HA!

Police are investigating a vandalism reported at a store in Vernon that sells Donald Trump merchandise.

The incident was reported to police Monday just before 3 a.m. at the New England for Trump store on Talcottville Road, according to Lt. Robert Marra of the Vernon Police Department.

According to representatives from the store, someone “sprayed manure” all over merchandise at the store. They also wrote a number of things on the outside of the building like “nazi” and “fascist.”

Marra said the investigation into the vandalism is active.

The former University of Kentucky student who was seen on viral video unleashing a tirade of racial slurs against a Black student who was working at a dormitory front desk has been sentenced to a year in prison, a Fayette County Circuit Court clerk confirms to PEOPLE.

On Thursday, Oct. 17, Fayette Circuit Court Judge Lucy Vanmeter sentenced Sophia Rosing, 23, to 12 months in prison for the Nov. 2022 incident, according to the court clerk.

In August, Rosing pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct and one count of alcohol intoxication, PEOPLE previously reported.

One of the counts of fourth-degree assault was for kicking a police officer and biting his hand, court records show.

Rosing was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $25 fine.

On Nov. 6, 2022, in an incident that garnered national attention after it went viral, Rosing, a senior, was seen attacking Kyla Spring, a then-19-year-old freshman, who was working the overnight shift at the dormitory's front desk, the Courier-Journal, the Lexington Herald Leader and WLWT5 report.

Rosing was "very intoxicated," according to a police report cited by the Herald-Leader, and entered the campus residence hall without an ID, according to authorities, CBS News reported.

When Spring asked her if she was OK, Rosing began attacking her both verbally and physically, police said, WKYT reported.

Spring kept her composure as Rosing pushed her while yelling slurs at her, the video shows.

When Spring asked her to please stop, Rosing can be seen in the video replying, “No, thank you. You’re a n—. You’re a b—,” over and over again.

Arrested that night, Rosing pleaded not guilty.

She was subsequently expelled from the university and banned from campus by the university president.

After the incident, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto wrote in a letter to the university that Spring "acted with professionalism, restraint and discretion."

In an interview with CBS Mornings in 2022, Spring said she knew she had to remain calm, even while Rosing was verbally and physically attacking her.

"I wanted to make sure I acted appropriately so that I could keep my job because the script could have been flipped at any time if I had retaliated," Spring told CBS Mornings.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Rosing’s attorney, Fred Peters, called the sentence “extremely unfair and out of proportion” and “extremely harsh for a first offense where no one was hurt to the extent that they required any medical treatment whatsoever. Sophia was just completely out of her mind drunk.If there was a way we could appeal her sentence we would but unfortunately, I don't think there is any grounds at the present.”

At her sentencing, Rosing apologized in court saying she had never used the N-word before and would never use it again.

Rosing is being held in the Fayette County Detention Center.

The judge sentenced her to 12 months in prison for each of the four counts with the sentences running concurrently.

Actress Donna Mills, who turns 84 in a couple of months, announced that her 'baby' Chloe is going to make her a first-time grandma. (Most women who are 84 are usually sharing the news they will be a great-grandma, so this news is a bit 'different').

Donna Mills, best known for her role as Abby on the Dallas spinoff Knots Landing, recently shared a very exciting personal update: her only daughter, Chloe Mills, is expecting her first child. Mills seems over the moon to be a grandmother, especially since she adopted Chloe when she was 54 years old.

Chloe and her fiancé Travis Collings are expecting a baby boy. They shared the news in a joint Instagram post that read, “Baby Boy Collings coming in 2025”

Donna shared her own posts from the baby shower, full of blue balloons and teddy bears. She said, alongside the photos, “My baby girl is having a baby!! And we gave her the shower of her dreams. Can’t wait to meet the little guy. I know I’ll love him as much as I love her.” While Chloe will be a younger mom, Donna has previously opened up about becoming a mother in her 50s.

Trisha Paytas is an influencer who has been successful on multiple social media platforms, including YouTube and hosting her podcast, "Just Trish."

And, recently, she sat down with Rainn Wilson on his "Soul Boom" podcast to talk more deeply about her life and fame.

One moment from the podcast that has a lot of people talking is when Trisha opened up about a psychotic break she had in September of 2021. "I went on Twitter, it wasn't even YouTube, and I was screaming, sobbing, like I couldn't control myself — I couldn't breathe. Just like shouting at people to leave me alone," she shared.

Right away, Rainn interrupts her, saying, "Let me just pause you right there. What is it about you...and I'm trying to really understand this. 'I'm so activated, I'm so triggered, I'm so angry, I'm so overwhelmed, I'm about to just lose my shit, I'm gonna have a psychotic break. But I gotta log in and hit live stream and put it on the tripod — and make sure my light is on. Now I'm going to have the psychotic break.'

"What's the deal with that, though? What is that impulse? Is it 'cause you're getting that reward from doing it? The more you have nervous breakdowns online, then the money truck backs up?"

Trisha also shared that she has borderline personality disorder. "I have trouble regulating my emotions. I thought relationships were more intense than they were. I would have these fantasies, but also, like, I would disassociate at the same time. So there was delusion, disassociation, and a lot happening," she explained.

At another point in the interview, Rainn also tells Trisha, "Three years without a gigantic online breakdown...feel free to have one here, though!"

Over the past few days, people have started resharing clips from the podcast on TikTok, saying Rainn was condescending to Trish.

And others, like TikToker cootyqueen13 who has garnered over 600,000 views — and a response from Trisha — are sharing their thoughts: "Everything she [Trish] was saying and sharing, there were so many moments where he would pause her and mock her for posting it online."

Some users have even gone viral with their skits reenacting the interview, like @pogsyy whose video has over a million views.

In general, people are pointing out how celebrities experience fame in a totally different way than influencers.

And a lot of people feel celebrities lack authenticity.

There were more than a few moments that people say were out of touch and disingenuous.

However, despite the uncomfortable moments, Trisha was applauded for how she handled the interview overall.

Ambushing TMZ's Harvey Levin

Fired from New York magazine

Watching lots of old movies lately and I can’t help but wonder what might have been with some of the actors I’ve watched whose careers seemed somewhat short lived.

Samantha Eggar was a beautiful, stylish British actress who peaked in the 60s. Her career seemed to trail off in the 70s. She had the kind of cut glass English accent and looks that could rival Joan Collins on Dynasty. She also guest starred on a lot of Aaron Spelling shows in the 70s and 80s that I wonder if she wasn’t a consideration for Alexis too.

James Fox is another actor whose career somewhat lagged in the 70s when he decided to become an evangelical Christian. I sometimes watch Michael York in the 70s and wonder if he didn’t run of with Fox’s career.

I love comedy movies but nothing in recent memory has made me belly laugh. Bridesmaids was fun. My favourites are Ruthless People and Throw mamma from the train. I like Melissa McCarthy ( when shes not starring in her hubbys projects..please STOP doing that Melissa; its commendable but its ruining your legacy). I like the back and forth banter of old screwball comedies and I like Cary Grants comedic talents. Goldie Hawn is a favourite as is Death Becomes her. So, what movies made you LOL?

Some lesbian commentators on YouTube have been saying lately that “lesbians are going extinct.“ In other words, lesbians are no longer identifying as lesbians, but rather as “queer“ or “nonbinary” or “trans.” Even Katie Herzog mentioned in one video that she knew a group of lesbians who lived together in the same house who all transitioned.

I’m curious to hear from the lesbians of DL. Are there still a lot of young lesbians who are identify as lesbian?

James Carville was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan recently when he kept being stopped by anxious New Yorkers begging the famed Cajun political sage for some kind of guidance about how the November election would turn out.

He had nothing for them.

“They firmly believed that I had some kind of secret knowledge,” said the veteran Democratic strategist. “It’s the hardest thing in the world to tell someone who thinks you’re omnipotent that you’re really not.”

The tough-to-swallow truth for anxious voters of all stripes is that no one can predict the future, especially in an election that right now feels like the closest in most Americans’ lifetimes, though the outcome could end up more definitive.

Just weeks before Election Day, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is deadlocked, with polls showing razor-thin margins in key battlegrounds and nationally.

“The polls — public and private — are closer in this election than any I have ever seen,” said Dan Pfeiffer, a former aide to Barack Obama. “Everything is within the margin of error, so we are at a point where polls are incapable of giving you much information about which way the horse race is trending.”

NBC News’ latest poll shows the race split exactly 48%-48% — a “dead heat,” according to pollster Jeff Horwitt, a Democrat who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

And the story is the same in other polls and polling averages, with Quinnipiac University pollster Tim Malloy saying the race “can’t get much closer.”

After polling misses in recent elections, few analysts today are willing to stake a bet. And there is zero expert consensus about the outcome, let alone the kind of consensus view that defined the final days of the last four presidential campaigns — in large part because much of that conventional wisdom ended up proven wrong.

A whole industry has emerged to parse the data and filter it through complex probabilistic mathematical formulas. But in a country balanced on a pencil tip, able to fall any direction with a proverbial gust of wind, all the data in the world still has analysts searching for synonyms for “toss-up.”

“It’s now literally 50/50,” Nate Silver wrote on X Tuesday. Republican pollster Frank Luntz summed up the election with a single gif: A coin flip.

The dynamic has Republican strategist Matt Gorman looking back to the 2000 election, which essentially came down to 537 votes in Florida and an overtime legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court.

“It’s going to be the closest since Bush v. Gore,” said Gorman, noting the likelihood of similar post-election legal fights. “There’s just so much more likelihood and political incentive for either side to drag this out.”

“Hope you’re ready to be eating turkey in Erie County!” he joked about journalists and campaign operatives decamping to the northwestern Pennsylvania battleground to watch ballots be counted during Thanksgiving.

Second day in a row. I'm an Eldergay who needs his elderbooks.

It's a new year, so time for a new thread! Let's start from where we left off in 2023...

33 years together, 26 married. Would ya believe it. Does anyone care?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be laying down roots overseas.

The U.K.’s DailyMail reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bought a vacation home in Portugal. The couple currently resides in the wealthy, coastal city of Montecito in California with their son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3.

Several royal experts, who’ve heard whispers of the reported purchase, said that the location is an ideal choice for the pair.

"The number of people inside the royal family who are willing to proclaim their friendship for Harry and Meghan has dwindled to practically nothing," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," claimed to Fox News Digital.

"No one wants to run afoul of the king and Prince William – it's that simple," Andersen claimed. "Somehow Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, who has a home in Portugal, has been able to straddle the fence – to remain in the king's good graces but also not turn her back on the Sussexes. Obviously, Harry and Meghan are very grateful for the loyalty Eugenie has shown."

"Purchasing a villa in Portugal has more to do with being close to a royal family member who is still genuinely fond of them than it does with being geographically closer to Great Britain," he claimed.

According to the DailyMail, Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, own a home in CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a luxury development of 300 properties by the sea in Melides.

Jack, 38, works in marketing and sales for CostaTerra, the outlet shared. The couple and their two sons, August, 3, and Ernest, 16 months, split their time between Portugal and London.

"Eugenie has always been very close to both Harry and Meghan," said Andersen. "It comes as no surprise that the Sussexes would find the idea of owning beachfront property at the exclusive Portuguese resort appealing.

"It will be interesting to see if CostaTerra becomes the new Mustique, the Caribbean Island paradise that celebrities like Mick Jagger and David Bowie once flocked to after the late Princess Margaret took up residence there," he said. "That royal fairy dust is pretty heady stuff."

"Portugal is considered one of the safest places in Europe, which will resonate with Prince Harry’s paranoia that everyone is out to get them," said British broadcaster Helena Chard. "Many people are settling in Portugal due to tax breaks and quality of life. The stunning beaches will also appeal to Prince Harry’s surfing passion."

"Portugal is also a few steps closer to the U.K., which is a promising sign that they hope to work toward peace with the royal family," she pointed out.

He also has one named Victory. What do you suppose they smell like?

Tinted windows on a car always make me wonder what the owner has to hide.

In the brand new documentary that just came out,, she's still bitter after all these years, now the tides have turned and all her denial of sexual abuse of men "not having the right equipment" has come back to bite her.

It's a spinoff of "The Good Fight," still one of the best series seen to date on a streaming channel, and itself a spinoff of "The Good Wife." The show just started its second season. Elsbeth is a "quirky" lawyer who's also a genius, played by the excellent Carrie Preston. It's always "Columbo"-style: they always start out showing the murder, and then Elsbeth solves it along with the NYPD. (She's working with a task force of sorts.) They usually have a recognizable actor playing the killer.

I'm mentioning it now because the season premiere is *right* up DL's alley: Nathan Lane is the main guest star, and the murder occurs due to what I can only describe as an etiquette-bitch meltdown, after a tall frau and her dudebro bf sit in front of him at a Broadway show, blocking his view & whining about needing to pee. Nathan has a *subscription*, goddammit! They pay dearly for their sins!

It's on Paramount+ if you have it, but also on CBS Thursday nights.

This is alleged in the book “Too real” by Dale Wheatley, the guy who made that embarrassingly terrible movie “Dons Plum” with Leo and Tobey in the 90s. L and T blocked the movie from being released as their careers were taking off and this guy has had an ax to grind ever since. He was part of Leo’s crew back the (this is pre pussy posse) and claims this “masturbation event” took place at his house (Dales) in his bedroom and the actress was one of the biggest TV actresses at the time and still a household name. Apparently actor Ethan Suplee of all people, filmed it or at least took some still photos according to court documents filed in relation to this movie not being released. He says Leo enjoyed humiliating her and was leading her on. He also insinuates that Leo/Toby were more than a little close in this book and also in past tweets. Link to an interview with this guy, interview starts at about 1:00:00

They would never let Kamala get away with talking like that but Dump they just let him sink lower and lower.

And possibly involved with Gio Benitez at one time?

Let's settle this once and for all.

What’s it like?

Look at Nick’s face as Cooper is speaking. He turns his face and rolls his eyes. He can’t stand him lowkey 😆 but I’m sure he loves him all the same. Maybe it’s like a brotherly relationship? I mean they had spent 6 months straight filming, where they even had to live together as Murphy made them share a space, and then after filming finished they had some time apart but then once it was time for the show to premiere they had to do never-ending press all over the place for a good month. I’m sure by this point he was just over attention whore Cooper.

Gay MAGA/travel influencer Garrett Bruno (@garrett.travels) was involved in a fatal car crash on 10/10 in West Hollywood. LA Sheriffs Dept is still investigating but have not filed charges. The WeHo times covered the accident but did not name Bruno, but he was outed in the comments section alongside allegations that Bruno was intoxicated and had killed the young woman seated in the passenger seat of the car he struck on Fountain ave (he was brought to the hospital in handcuffs). His IG went private after the accident but Bruno had undergone something of a public MAGA radicalization on IG in the last few weeks and had also shared aspirations of running for office in Florida and being financed by Keith Rabois, who he has fucked, and his husband Jacob Helberg. Any information on this pondscum and insight/pics re his MAGA coming out would be most appropriated.

CBS is spinning off Elsbeth from the Good Wife and the Good Fight. Never watched the Good Wife, only know her from the Good Fight. Isn’t Elsbeth the character a bit too much to put her front and center of a show? I feel like that schtick could get old way too fast. What do you think?

On a side note: Should I start watching the Good Wife? Is it worth to go back?

Tay? Usher? I think she go with the unexpected and have someone like Teddy Swims sing it. It would really bring the country together.

Also, this is Pitbull Awareness Month? Fuck that.

I just walked over to feed and water Coz. Somebody or something stole his heavy duty plastic food bowl. I had to loan him an extra bowl that belongs to Sparky until I can solve the mystery.

He is skittish and won’t let me get quite close enough to pick him up but he does allow me to get close by and he talks to me.

He was a great man, a great orator and the best politician Scotland has ever seen. RIP.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: an ardently antigay GOP politician is being accused of indulging in salacious behavior.

The latest antagonist for the tried-and-true tale is North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson, who has an abhorrent history of insulting and demeaning LGBTQ+ people. The ultra-hateful man has called homosexuality an “abominable sin” and criticized the trans rights movement as “demonic.”

In addition, he’s labeled the queer community as a “Satanic cult of perversion” and said queer allies are “disciples of Satan.”

You get the picture. Mark Robinson is very, very passionate about hating gay people.

He’s also apparently very, very passionate about adult films… according to six former employees and regulars of local adult film stores.

The Assembly, a reputable digital magazine in North Carolina, recently published an expose on Robinson’s alleged history as a regular to adult film shops. A man named Louis Money, who worked in several of Greensboro’s “windowless, 24-hour video-pornography stores,” told the publication that Robinson was a frequent customer in the 1990s and early 2000s. He alleges the homophobic Lt. Gov. came in five nights a week, often watching the steamy videos in private booths.

For me, it’s noise pollution, specifically the kind inflicted by noisy lifted trucks driven by deplorables. I despise loud trucks and the loud losers who drive them. I hate all goddamned trucks and would be embarrassed to own one or even ride in one.

When I watched these as a kid in the 60s and 70s, they weren't all that old, but they seemed to come from the very distant past.

Frankenstein 1931 had a lot of everything a boy looked for in a horror movie.

"Last year, there were 4,858 major crimes where a minor was accused or arrested, up from 3,543 in 2017 — a 37 percent increase."

"New York’s rise in youth crime reflects a national problem. While the overall number of violent crimes and homicides in America fell in 2023, arrests of juveniles for similar offenses increased substantially, according to the F.B.I.’s Uniform Crime Report, which collects statistics from around the country."

"“These are the future adults,” he said. “What are these kids going to be like when they’re 20 or 25 years old?”

"The police recently said a group of children, most from Venezuela and some as young as 11, were committing robberies at knife point in Central Park and Times Square."

"On Oct. 4, two boys, 12 and 13, were accused of assaulting David A. Paterson, a former New York governor, and his stepson as they walked through the Upper East Side."

"In that borough, 20 people under 18 had been charged this year with gun crimes through mid-October, with four charged in fatal shootings, according to the Bronx district attorney’s office. Thirty-four children had been shot so far this year, according to office numbers, four fatally."

[quote]A light rain fell at the Zurich airport one Sunday morning in January 2023 as Sarah Kate Ellis made her way from a seat in Delta’s most exclusive cabin to a waiting Mercedes. It was there to chauffeur her to the Swiss Alps, where she and her colleagues would stay at the Tivoli Lodge, a seven-bedroom chalet that cost nearly half a million dollars to rent for the week.

[quote]Ms. Ellis, who was en route to the World Economic Forum in Davos, doesn’t run a Wall Street bank or a high-flying tech start-up. She is the chief executive of the nonprofit organization GLAAD, one of the country’s leading L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy groups.

[quote]The group, which has an annual budget of roughly $30 million, paid for Ms. Ellis’s trip, as well as a day of skiing, according to internal documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with current and former employees and others with knowledge of GLAAD’s operations.

[quote]When Ms. Ellis traveled for work, there were first-class flights, stays at the Waldorf Astoria and other luxury hotels and expensive car services. Not to mention a Cape Cod summer rental and nearly $20,000 to remodel her home office, which was outfitted with a chandelier, among other accouterments.

But we're just not into you that much anymore.

[quote] In 2023, the Census reports, Florida’s net migration fell by half from the previous year. While in 2022 Florida netted almost 250,000 new Floridians from other states, the highest total since 2005, that number fell to just over 126,000 in 2023. More concerning, the number of people leaving the state (510,925) was the highest since the Great Recession in 2008. As of last year, more people are still moving to Florida than are leaving it, but that gap is quickly narrowing.

Jesus, she’s a fucking mental case. I hope she dies a painful death.

A former rep for Sean "Diddy" Combs confirmed earlier claims that Prince William and Prince Harry never accepted his numerous invites to his infamous parties.

The royal brothers reportedly refused to honor these invitations despite the rapper offering to pay all their logistic bills if they agreed to show up.

In an old interview, Sean "Diddy" Combs revealed that he chose to invite the brothers to his parties because they were "young bucks getting into trouble themselves."

After Diddy's arrest, claims about him inviting royal princes William and Harry to his parties emerged. While sources certified those claims to be true, they also noted that the princes never honored those invitations.

A former rep for the musician, Rob Shuter, has now confirmed that not only did Diddy try to invite William and Harry multiple times, the rapper was also "obsessed" with the royal brothers.

"Diddy was obsessed with Prince Harry and Prince William," Shutter told the BBC, while also revealing that Diddy tried "more than 10 times" to get the duo to attend his soirees.

He added about the rapper, "Diddy thinks of himself as a king, so it makes perfect sense that he would like to have two princes in his entourage. Harry and William never accepted the invites, they were never part of his world."

If Harry and William had accepted the invites, they would never have had to cater to their logistics, as Diddy had always offered to "cover their travel, lodging, and even pay for their security."

However, this mouth-watering offer couldn't get them to bite, and fortunately, the duo's decision has helped them avoid the drama currently surrounding the rapper.

According to journalist Christopher Andersen, the royal princes had "made plenty of headlines with their party animal antics," which seemed to have led Diddy to make "a point of inviting them to his parties."

Andersen told Fox News, "But those invitations were wisely turned down, and after William and Kate [Middleton] got engaged [in 2010], Diddy got the hint and stopped inviting them altogether."

Regarding Diddy's persistence with the invites, the rapper himself seemingly provided a reason during a 2011 appearance on "The Graham Norton Show."

During the episode, Diddy told Norton that he only tried to invite the brothers because he was drawn to their then-reputation as thrill-seekers.

The rapper said at the time, "Before, when they were young bucks growing up, and they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves, so, hey, I was like, 'Why don't you come hang out with me?'"

Diddy, however, noted that the pair were "off the list" of people he invites to his parties.

I went to visit her recently, and she is absolutely obsessed with Trump. I don’t mean obsessed like the people DL are. It’s way deeper than that.

She would spend up to eight hours a day watching MSNBC, and when she wasn’t doing that, she was either taking some kind of online class where they were complaining about Trump or talking politics, or she was talking on the phone to a friend about Trump. And then we would go out to dinner and she would start complaining to me about Trump.

I’m thinking maybe this is a way for her to channel her frustration about something else. At one point, I even said to her “if you hate Trump so much why do you want to spend 12 hours a day hearing about him?” And she just got this look on her face like she didn’t know what to say. Visiting her was a painful experience. I dislike Trump as much as anyone else but I sure as hell don’t want to hear about him all day long.

There are actors where the first time I saw them in roles of significance, I ran to IMDb to check their names. Some people are simply talented.

However.

There are many, many, more I thought would go on to get great roles but didn’t. Sure, many have enviable careers that 99% of actors would kill for. But I expected more. That they would have more buzz surrounding them. Maybe that they would be more be bigger stars, or work consistently with world class or be competing with A-Listers for the highest quality shows or movies. Certainly, that they would have good roles in stuff that I like.

Even by his haywire standards, Donald Trump’s latest rhetoric and behavior is erratic, autocratic and vulgar and hints at four years of unpredictable leadership that may lie ahead if he’s elected president in 15 days.

Vice President Kamala Harris and top Democrats are seizing on the Republican nominee’s bizarre antics to inject new urgency and a sharper focus into her campaign, arguing he “demeans” the presidency and is “deranged.”

A CNN investigation into “Swiss-made” watches being sold by former President Donald Trump led to an unexpectedly stimulating discovery.

Being the Republican presidential nominee hasn’t stopped Trump from hawking all kinds of products, including sneakers, Bibles, cryptocurrency, silver coins, and other items. Of particular interest to CNN reporters Steve Contorno and Scott Glover were the watches Trump sells. As it turns out, the watches were not actually made in Switzerland, which has strict rules on what products can be deemed Swiss-made.

Trump’s timepieces sell for hundreds of dollars, but one sells for $100,000. The website where they can be purchased describes them as “Swiss-made.”

However, CNN’s probe of the origin of Trump’s watches led them to a company called BestWachesOnEarth LLC, which has an address in a small town in Wyoming called Sheridan.

“[A] CNN investigation into the manufacturing and distribution of the Trump-branded timepieces dead-ended at an innocuous-looking shopping center in a small city in remote northern Wyoming, not far from the border of Montana,” the report stated, adding:

There, sharing a parking lot with a hodgepodge of businesses including an H&R Block, a Wendy’s fast-food restaurant and a “vape and hemp smoke shop,” is a nondescript office space that serves as the mailing address for TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the new line of Trump watches. The building houses a daycare, but there is no sign of the watches Trump says, “puts you in a very exclusive club.”

CNN said that dozens of other companies claim the address, including the aforementioned Trump sneakers. Another company linked to the address is BestHoneyOnEarth.

Contorno joined Thursday’s CNN News Central, where he shared these findings with Boris Sanchez and Brianna Keilar.

“And I should mention, Boris, about that honey company, which, I left out the best detail,” Contorno said. “They sell ‘male enhancement honey,’ which is exactly what it sounds like.”

Sanchez and Keilar burst out laughing.

Two weeks after Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said he would soon be representing at least 120 accusers against Sean “Diddy” Combs, the attorney filed his first six sexual assault complaints on Monday — including one from a man who claims he was a teen at the time of his encounter with the music mogul.

All six lawsuits, which were obtained by TheWrap, were filed in the Southern District of New York per the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, with the allegations stemming from between 1995 and 2021. Buzbee is representing four John Does and two Jane Does in these cases.

One of the four anonymous male victims claims he was 16 years old when he was sexually assaulted at one of Combs’ White Parties in the Hamptons in 1998.

According to the then-teenage victim, he was invited to the party at Combs’ mansion by a mutual friend, where he bumped into the rapper (an apparent picture of the pair from the event in question is included in the legal documents). “Combs took an interest in John Doe” and they engaged in pleasant conversation about the entertainment industry, per the lawsuit.

“When John Doe admitted his voice was not great, Combs assured him that did not matter. Combs made clear that the only thing that mattered was having the right look for the industry, and with it, Combs could transform Doe — or anybody — into a star.”

However, “Combs abruptly told John Doe that he needed to drop his pants. John Doe, caught completely off guard, confusingly asked Combs to repeat himself. Combs made himself clear. He instructed John Doe to drop his pants and expose his penis so that Combs could inspect it, explaining it was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star, and also as a way to prove himself,” the suit alleges.

“Out of fear, anxiety and the imbalanced power dynamic between himself and Combs, John Doe then dropped his pants and exposed his penis as Combs previously instructed,” it continues. “Combs moved closer and grabbed John Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand. He firmly cupped and held onto John Doe’s genitals for an extended period of time.

During this time, Combs moved his hand in such a fashion to manipulate John Doe’s genitals, squeezing and feeling them … Combs abruptly then let go of John Doe’s genitals and told him that his people would be in touch. Combs continued with his party as if nothing had happened, but for John Doe, everything had changed.”

“We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves and will work to see that justice is done,” Buzbee shared in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We expect to be filing many more cases over the next several weeks naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”

Meanwhile, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff issued the following statement to TMZ following Buzbee’s initial press conference: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

Mr. Buzbee has not yet filed a single case in any jurisdiction. Mr. Combs looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

Located at 1180 Guerrero St., the architectural gem retains its original grand facade, moldings, woodwork and decorative fireplaces. Over the past four decades, “a battalion of period craftspeople” has restored other elements to their original splendor, according to Joel Luebkeman of Compass, the listing agent.

“I’ve walked into hundreds of Victorian homes in my career,” Luebkeman said in an email to the Chronicle. “But when I first walked through the imposing front doors of 1180 Guerrero, I was awestruck by the feeling I had been transported back in time to a Gilded Age townhouse on 5th Avenue.”

All paid for with my company credit card. Well, my manager has asked me to go on what he calls extended dinner dates with clients that include visiting city attractions or theater tickets. All fine with me but I’m also being asked to host some clients in my home over the weekend. This makes me feel a little uncomfortable because I’m expected to persuade clients into starting business accounts with our company. Twice this sort of arrangement has led to me having sex with the client to get him to sign contracts.

Colton Underwood and Jordan C. Brown are going to be parents!

The former Bachelor star, 32, announced he is expecting his first baby via surrogate with his husband, political and philanthropic strategist Jordan C. Brown, 38, in an interview with Men's Health. The couple is set to welcome a baby boy in early October.

Underwood tells PEOPLE that he and Brown, who just celebrated their first wedding anniversary on May 13, can’t wait to be fathers.

“That was one of the things we bonded over early in our relationship. We both wanted to be dads,” says Underwood. “But it's been such an incredible experience for us to go through this together, and I cannot wait to watch Jordan become a dad.”

In February, Underwood opened up about his path to fatherhood to PEOPLE, sharing that he was chronicling his journey to become a parent on a new podcast, Daddyhood. At the time, Underwood shared that he and Brown had embryos made and frozen and were currently undergoing testing with their surrogate, whose identity they are keeping private.

“I think outside of the LGBTQ+ matters — the obvious discrimination and what's at stake for us — straight couples too, need to stop putting the blame on the women. I think that's one thing that I could at least say, from two men going through this, is I've had some fertility issues and struggles, and I don't think a lot of men openly talk about that," Underwood shared.

“I mean right away, my husband gets his results back for his sperm count and he had incredible, great numbers, and I got mine back and all my sperm was dead. And I think immediately I was just like, 'Oh, what does this mean? It means I'm sterile and can't have kids now.' And it was not a great feeling," he added.

The couple first began their in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy journey two years ago, right around the time they also started to plan their wedding.

I remember most all the songs especially Gloria and Jump Shout for some reason. I survived someone was keeping an eye on me for sure.

[quote]British lawmakers voted Tuesday to approve in principle a bill to strip hereditary aristocrats of the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords after more than 700 years. The government says the decision will complete a long-stalled reform of Parliament’s upper chamber and remove an “outdated and indefensible” relic of the past. Britain is one of only two countries – the other is Lesotho – with a hereditary element to its parliament.

[quote]In 1999 the Labour government of Tony Blair evicted most of the more than 750 hereditary peers from the Lords, though to avoid an aristocrats’ rebellion, 92 were allowed to remain temporarily. A quarter-century on, 88 hereditaries are still there, an all-male group with an average age of almost 70. When one dies or retires, their fellow bluebloods hold elections to replace them.

She’s one of my favorite actresses. Her YouTube channel is a treasure trove of Walton’s recollections and interviews with other cast members. Plus she’s very athletic and into Scientology.

I was thinking about The Walking Dead and how they destroyed Andrea's character. They kept putting her in absurd situations like sleeping with the Governor. There was a ridiculous scene where he chased Andrea through a cornfield in a pick up truck. It made me believe the actress must have been a total cunt and the writers were making her stupid on purpose.

When it was all over they said “We’ll see you in 10 years”.

I thought “The fuck you will”.

I know Tasteful Friends is about aspirations for most of us, but here's a house many DLers could live in, one that's at the lower end of the price scale for coastal Eastern Massachusetts locations.

Beverly, MA. Easy commute from the North Shore to Boston by train (40 minutes.) This is a home many gay men could actually live in assuming you can afford the price. The asking is actually low: my guess is that the final bids (due tomorrow at 2 pm) will be higher and that it'll sell in the $700,000-plus range.

Nothing's perfect: it's close to the neighbors in a kid-centric neighborhood but the playground's not next door. Beverly's a nice town, but not, say, nearby Marblehead or Manchester-by-the-Sea. But it's one house that's truly in move-in condition. There's nothing except the purple paint in the pantry I'd need to change right away. I saw it yesterday.

Sad and infuriating. What we pretty much knew all along, but having it confirmed is still a bit of a gut punch. Doesn't this somehow violate the Oath they took to the Constitution or are they unbound from it upon retirement? Craven, greedy, and I disagree with Kinzinger, immoral, too.

Any guesses on who the famous general is?

[QUOTE]I once spoke to a famous former general, who told me that getting involved in this Presidential race would damage my ability to make money in consulting/ private equity (not something I’ve pursued) because “companies are risk averse and Trump may win again. This is why I’m not too outspoken.”

[QUOTE]Very disappointing, but at the same time a good lesson in why so many remain silent. Because they don’t want to pay a price. They would rather cash out. Not immoral, but sad.

Let's discuss the film that continues to win the worldwide affection of millions since it's premier almost 60 years ago.

[quote]Betty Cartledge told "Good Morning America" she and her late husband had never voted before, but this year, things changed. She said her husband died in April 2023, and now that she was on her own, she had started noticing the high cost of living more and more, and felt motivated to vote for change.

[quote]"We went in and she told the lady I couldn't read and write, and she told her what to do," Cartledge recalled. "And I went over there, and I done it on my own. I done my own voting. I had nobody tell me who to vote for or what. She just showed me, read everything to me, and then I voted."

Located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, the 1913 apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, entry hall, living room, dining room, sunroom/den, kitchen, pantry, and balcony of the top (4th) floor of the building. The principal rooms have original mahogany decorative woodwork and built-in features; other rooms have painted woodwork and there are original hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is a recent renovation; the pantry retains original cabinetry. In the basement is a private storage room and laundry (not clear if it's one space or two.)

It's a handsome building with the entrance recessed in a forecourt formed by the roughly U-shaped building, with landscaping front and rear. There's a large rear yard, but the yard description is faithful to its basic use and appearance (for me the biggest disappointment of a ncie building.) The apartment itself is quite nice, a good plan and some nice detailing, the kitchen big enough and with a pantry a nice bonus. The bedrooms and bathrooms are fine, and the apartment appears light and bright with lots of windows are many rooms with dual aspects.

HOA monthly fees are $943, which includes all utilities and property taxes.

Take two toothbrushes, A and B

put them together so that their hairs (is that the word I'm looking for?) are enmeshed in each other.

lift up the handle of toothbrush A. Toothbrush B should rise also.

shake the handle of toothbrush A left and right several times quickly. Toothbrush B should not fall.

You cannot use any tape, glue, string, etc. when doing this.

You can have a second person help, if needed.

Jane Fonda is being tacky here throwing shade at Barbra Streisand. The fact is that Streisand was offered all of those roles before Fonda. It was rude of Jane to say, "Can you imagine?" Barbra has never been rude to her.

Sharon Stone commented on the video on Instagram: “Let’s just say Ms S sometimes has a thin grasp on the truth 😮😮😮😮😮”

Sharon saying that is ironic since she lies about everything. Last I heard from her, she was claiming that unknown individuals had stolen all of her money and taken control of her refrigerator.

Anybody else watching. Such good reviews but I’m finding the acting or dialogue a bit cringe this season. Ellis is a hottie, the main smiley character is the stuff of nightmares.

To continue our nice chats and bring you more photos of Sir Chonks-a-Lot.

He's such a ditzy Twink!

I'm fascinated by him because he's independent, he lives in an RV, he's fairly handy, and he seems really nice.

But he's so ditzy!

He has a mouse infestation in his camper, he doesn't really know how to drive, he can't cook for shit, and he's so clumsy!

Ethan also thinks that wet wipes constitute "taking a bath," and he's constantly breaking things in his camper.

I think he also has a few OCD type of phobias, which he hasn't really explained fully.

Nevertheless, I think he's adorable. And at least he has a boyfriend to keep him company.

And oh yeah, the boyfriend won't show his face on camera. Lol.

Harry Styles - likes cocaine, mushrooms and edibles

Louis Tomlinson - daily vodka drinker to the extent that he can no longer remember his own lyrics and has to have several sheets of them taped to the stage floor. In 2022, he broke his arm twice, the second time so badly that he needed hours of surgery and a steel plate put in. He was drunk and having a race with his backing band when he fell over.

Niall Horan - once bragged that he drank ten pints of Guinness a night every night on tour.

Zayn Malik - already let hard drugs derail his solo career for years but claims to have got his act together for his three year old daughter.

A great thread that had my reading for hours. Tommy Lee Jones and Jared Leto come up with unsurprising regularity. Some, like Shaq have severe swings in reactions, some calling him the greatest, most friendly and others hating him. Michael Jordan and Kobe are not favorites either. This is a one of the best posts I've ever read on Musk:

Elon Musk. He stayed at a mountain resort that I worked at in 2018 . He was luckily only there for 3 days but he was an utter terror the entire time he was there.

He refused to be checked in at the reception area and demanded a private check in at his cabin which is fine but we ask ahead of time so we can staff properly for the later arrivals.

He asked for the youngest female concierge on staff to be sent to the check in with nobody else for "security" reasons. I took the check in myself instead of sending the 19 year old and took the largest and oldest driver I could find for security reasons.

He wanted the personal cell phone numbers for all female concierge staff. I said that is against out policy and set him up with the resort app so he could contact whoever was on duty for a prompt answer.

He harassed every single female employee so nastily that by the time he had been there for 12 hours every department switched him to only male staff. He didn't tip any of the wait staff or guides for any activities. He booked a private horseback ride that a wrangler was brought in specially for the day and then refused to go because he didn't like the colors of any of the horses available , and he wanted to ride a really "butch and muscular" horse. He meant a draft horse, which we had for pulling wagons but none for riding.

He also had insane demands. He wanted a 80 year old beautiful ponderosa pine cut down because he didn't like how the light hit it at sunset. He wanted shock collars put on the squirrels to stop them from being too loud. And he wanted us to trap a grizzly bear and bring it to his cabin for a few hours so he could take pictures and study it.

He was the rudest, stupidest and most arrogant POS I have ever encountered.

New series from Brian Jordan Alvarez about a gay high school teacher. DL's gonna love this one, I can tell already.

Starts September 2nd.

I decided to dress up for Halloween this year. I’ll be going as Ethel Mertz in her Japanese Eskimo outfit from the I Love Lucy episode “The Black Wig”. I will be sure to acknowledge that I’ll look like an ad for a trip around the world.

There's a new scandal every few days (if not multiple times a day)

Let's keep track of them here.

Former hockey pro Janne Puhakka -- Finland's first openly gay player -- was found shot to death on Sunday ... and police believe his partner was behind the killing.

Puhakka was only 29.

According to a report out of Finland, Janne was found in his Henttaa Espoo home ... where he lived with his partner, 66-year-old veterinarian Rolf Nordmo.

Police said the death was a homicide and suspected Nordmo was the shooter. He was arrested at the scene without incident.

The murder is still under investigation.

Puhakka -- who started playing hockey when he was six -- launched his major league career in 2015 and played for the Blues, Espoo United, and Rapaces de Gap.

He was also on the national team roster and won the bronze in the Under 18 World Championship in 2013.

Puhakka opened up about his sexuality after hanging up his skates, revealing he had concealed being gay to avoid scrutiny in the sports world.

Puhakka was the first ice hockey player in the Finnish major leagues to come out as gay. In 2022, he wrote a memoir, "Ulos Kopista."

"We send our sincere condolences to his family, his relatives and all his former teammates," the Rapaces de Gap team said in a statement.

"Presenting in the team during the 2017/2018 season, Janne marked the staff and his teammates with his kindness and team spirit."

Nordmo has not been convicted of a crime.

This song has always confused the fuck out of me. Sure we can just say “she married a closeted gay man and that’s why he’s not loving her,” but … WHAT? In 1970? I’m sorry but homosexuality was still taboo in 1970 and pop songs were not being written about these sort of cover marriages.

Assuming this is true, what the fuck is actually going on in the song? They stayed in separate rooms on their honeymoon? She wants him to live her, as he “tried before?”

Maybe I’m just confused — it wouldn’t be the first time with this song! For years I heard her sing

[Quote] You took me from the shelter of my mother, I had never known

And I thought, what? She never knew her mother? That line is sung as a single lyric and is followed by a beat so it wasn’t until I read the lyrics that I saw the words “I had never known” were meant to be paired with the separate lyric “or loved any other”

Anyway, what’s going on in the song, and don’t say closeted marriage unless you want a slap.

Why are people obsessed with these balls of fatty chicken fetus?

What about the dresses? The makeup? The moaning? The squealing?

Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!

What do you remember?

No, really.

I’m watching this show and the guy starts putting a condom oh his dick. That is fake, right? I usually can tell but must be tired I couldn’t even tell. I’m like he either has a great thick dick or that’s a fake.

People are falling for this shit.

I started out loving him and his YT videos. But it was become painfully obvious his main objective is to make as much money as humanly possible. I don't think he's even practicing law any longer. He posts far too many videos every day and every one of them paint imminent doom for Donald Trump at any second. He exaggerates everything. Trump makes a post on his social media network and capitalizes some words and Meiselas translates that into 'TRUMP IN A BLIND RAGE AND ON THE VERGE OF TOTAL COLLAPSE'. Yeah, we all know Trump is mentally ill, but he'll probably be around for quite a few more years, if we're unlucky.

I see what they're doing now. They're doing whatever they can to keep their viewers always coming back day after day to see if Trump's imminent collapse and doom has happened, only to find out it's just another day of same ol' same ol.

I'm already on an emotional roller coaster over what's gone wrong with this country and I have high hopes for Harris//Walz. But I'm rational enough to know that the worst that could happen might just happen. And it terrifies me to think of what the future will be like if Trump wins. Meiselas and his YT channel are not helping me at all. In fact I believe they're making it worse.

Obviously I need to unsubscribe from his and all the other anti-Trump YT channels and try to forget about it as much as possible and wait for the outcome. There are days when I think if Trump wins I will likely have a heart attack (I'm 71) and die, which may be for the best. I don't want to think of living in another Trump America.

Sorry for the rant. Just had to get it out and off my mind.

New world tour (for which she's... finally.. coming back to North America), new follow up album for Tension and a new single and video in which she is serving FACE and ATTITUDE.

-The Dartmouth Professor Murders- A married German immigrant couple who were professors at Dartmouth were murdered by two teens from Vermont.

-The Dan Markel murder

The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, a decades-old annual event in New York City, is typically an evening of lighthearted fare, with political and cultural leaders taking turns poking fun at one another and themselves.

But former President Donald Trump landed like a bomb onstage at the charity event on Thursday night, delivering a profanity-laden speech that saw him alternate between raging about the unfairness of his legal situation and taking hostile swipes at his enemies.

Trump lashed out at President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the transgender community over the course of roughly 30 minutes.

The white tie dinner, in which money is raised for Catholic charities, has customarily marked the last time both major party presidential candidates appear on the same stage before the election. Harris said last month that a conflicting campaign event would keep her from attending the event, something that Trump repeatedly seized on in his speech.

“But I must say, I was shocked when I heard that Kamala was skipping the Al Smith dinner,” he said. “I’d really hoped that she would come, because we can’t get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh. She laughs like crazy. We would recognize it anyplace in this room.”

He was frequently economical with his words, jabbing at Harris and Biden with a single insult. “We have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have mental faculties of a child, is a person that has no intelligence whatsoever—but enough about Kamala Harris,” Trump quipped.

The former president suggested he couldn’t wait to wash his hands of the vice president after Election Day. “When we hopefully win, dispose of her, I’ll like her a lot, but right now I can’t stand her,” he said.

Trump’s speech veered into transphobia as he speculated on Harris’ election chances. Addressing Schumer, he said, “He looks glum. But look on the bright side. Consider how woke your party has become, if she loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.”

The former president cracked another transphobic joke later in targeting Harris’ running mate. “I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying men have periods, but then I met Tim Walz,” Trump said.

He and Schumer were photographed together by the Associated Press as the dinner ended, speaking while seated at a table. The New York Post reported that Schumer and Trump had been assigned seats close to each other, “with only Cardinal Dolan between them.”

Dolan was in the audience as Trump swore up a storm onstage.

“I don’t give a s--- if this is comedy or not,” he said.

But the most important person who figured into Trump’s speech was, of course, himself. “I’m supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes,” he told the audience. “So here it goes,” he said, pausing for effect. “Nope. I’ve got nothing. I’ve got nothing!”

Trump added, “I guess I just do not see the point in taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me for a long time.”

As history has shown, Helen’s pick has won EVERY year since Lincoln or as she referred to him the “tall fag that likes being pegged by dykes”.

It’s the best drama on television right now. It’s actually one of those shows that gets better each season, and the first season was fairly good. It’s also a refreshing to have the main core characters not be a a bunch of sociopaths.

With music by Krzysztof Komeda and an unsettling plot, the film became a critical and commercial hit, In fact, the film was so effective, Hammer Horror legend Christopher Lee said it was the scariest film ever made.

chillin in a hot tub

Aaron Rodgers hasn't been able to share his opinions on "The Pat McAfee Show" for a few weeks when his weekly appearances ended for the season last month following the controversy with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

That doesn't mean the New York Jets quarterback has gone silent. He's gone to another friend and podcast to dive into a bevy of topics: "The Joe Rogan Experience." His episode dropped on Spotify Wednesday.

For over two hours, the four-time NFL MVP, whose positions about current events and conspiracies have been in the open in recent years, and the popular-yet-controversial podcast host provided their takes on the world's problems.

One subject they touched on, not surprisingly, was COVID-19. And Rodgers, again, claimed he won't be quiet about the topic.

For over three years, Rodgers' views on COVID-19 and vaccines have been central to his message when he's not on the football field.

"I’m going to continue talking about this because it’s important to me," Rodgers told Rogan. "I don’t want the memories to be lost. I don’t want what I went through to get brushed over. And also I don’t give a (expletive)."

Rodgers said his opinions about the pandemic have cost him.

"Look at my situation, I lost friends, allies in the media, millions of dollars in sponsorship because I talked about what worked for me in my own beliefs and my own health reasons why I didn’t get vaccinated," Rodgers told Rogan.

What's Rodgers' connection to Rogan and how has he expressed his views about COVID-19 in recent years? Here's a recap and how it weaved into his lengthy chat with Rogan:

Rodgers, of course, first drew a firestorm of attention during the 2021 NFL season for his positions around COVID-19. It dates to when he insinuated he was vaccinated during a Green Bay Packers training camp press conference after he said he was "immunized."

However, his actual vaccination status didn't come to light until his positive diagnosis in November 2021 since there were different thresholds for unvaccinated players in returning to play.

He then went on McAfee's show a few days later and started to unload on the NFL for what he called its "draconian" health and safety protocols that year, "woke culture," revealed that he sent the league a 500-page report on why he should have been considered vaccinated due to his homeopathic treatments, and said there was a witch hunt for unvaccinated players.

In the years since, Rodgers has championed other athletes who have been against the vaccine and recently has been vocal about Dr. Anthony Fauci and Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end who has advocated for the Pfizer vaccine.

"You stand for something, you stand courageously for what you believe in or the opposite side of that is saying nothing or being a coward," Rodgers said to Rogan. "I wasn’t willing to do that. Say whatever you want about the way I went about doing it."

Rodgers first made public his friendship with Rogan on McAfee's show days after he tested positive for COVID-19 in 2021.

He said Rogan gave him medical recommendations on treatments, which included ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has not been authorized or approved for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 by the FDA. Rodgers again vouched for the drug during his appearance on Rogan's show this week. Rogan has been a critic of COVID vaccines and two years ago 270 doctors called for Spotify to take action against Rogan over narratives his guests had shared about the vaccine.

Nevertheless, Rodgers praised the longform conversations that Rogan has on his podcast. Rogan's podcast is the most-listened to podcast on Spotify the last three years and he recently signed a new multimillion dollar deal. Besides hosting the podcast, Rogan is a longtime UFC commentator and stand-up comedian.

Seriously, what is Rhode Island like? I saw an ad on Instagram and it made me curious.

[quote]A comprehensive 494-page indictment against 47 suspects, including health workers, reveals that infants were transferred to selected hospitals in Istanbul instead of facilities that could provide appropriate care. Currently, 22 suspects have already been arrested.

[quote]The gang is believed to have exploited this scheme to secure higher payments from Turkey's social security system by opting for more expensive treatments. This alleged fraud has reportedly resulted in at least 12 infant deaths, primarily due to extended stays in neonatal intensive care units or infections. Members of the gang, which includes nurses and doctors, would subsequently share the profits generated from these fraudulent activities.

Welp.

[quote]The prominent American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum urged continued support for Ukraine as she accepted a prestigious German prize on Sunday, arguing that pacifism in the face of aggression is often nothing more than appeasement. “If there is even a small chance that military defeat could help end this horrific cult of violence in Russia, just as military defeat once brought an end to the cult of violence in Germany, we should take it,” Applebaum said.

[quote]Applebaum made her appeal to an audience in Frankfurt, where she was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. She was joined by her husband, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, who like his wife is a strong voice on the international stage for supporting Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia's brutal invasion.

[quote]“Malaria is as old as Egyptian civilization itself, but the disease that plagued pharaohs now belongs to its history," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Egypt was the third country to be certified in the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean Region, following the United Arab Emirates and Morocco. Globally, 44 countries and one territory have reached this milestone.

[quote]Egyptian authorities launched their first efforts to stamp out the deadly mosquito-borne infectious disease nearly 100 years ago. Certification is granted when a country proves that the transmission chain is interrupted for at least the previous three consecutive years. Malaria kills at least 600,000 people every year, nearly all of them in Africa.

I put this in the Disco thread, but my mind is so effectively blown that I thought it needed its own.

I loved her old WB show, I’ll probably watch this too. The plot is Reba’s Dad who owns a bar dies, and after Reba finds out she has a much younger Latina sister, she never knew about, who will run the bar with her. Interested to see how they can stretch that plot line for a few seasons.

Six-time Olympic champion Chris Hoy has announced that he has terminal cancer and that doctors have given him two to four years to live.

The 48-year-old former cyclist, who is one of Britain’s most successful and recognizable Olympians, shared his diagnosis with The Sunday Times newspaper, saying that he initially went to the hospital last September after feeling some pain in his shoulder.

A scan found a tumor there, before a second scan found primary cancer in his prostate which had spread to his bones. The scans found tumors in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine and rib.

Things are heating up, and not just because of Blanche’s hot flashes. Rose’s cousin is eloping to Miami, and Rose is playing host. If she can’t balance the groom’s family’s snobbery against the traditional St. Olaf wedding week guidelines, her hometown may never accept her cousin again!

Dorothy quickly realizes she needs a date with whom she can exchange wedding-related wisecracks. Turning to a newfangled VHS dating service, she believes she’s found the ideal conversationalist. Unfortunately, what looks good on TV can actually be a total jerk in real life. It seems she’ll just have to enjoy the company of Sophia, Blanche, and whomever Blanche has targeted for a hookup.

As the Girls all pitch in, Rose is thrilled that the tea-and-fish-themed kickoff event is perfect, not a herring out of place. That is until Dorothy’s date is found dead—face-planted in an otherwise scrumptious-looking cheesecake. With every guest a suspect (especially Dorothy) and a marriage on the line, the four besties must ID the real killer, get the should-be-happy couple down the aisle, and make sure nobody from St. Olaf gets lost in the wilds of Miami. It’s up to the Golden Girls to sleuth out a way for friendship and love to win the day!

Reba is kick ass as always, and it's good to see Melissa Peterman and her reignite their famous chemistry from Reba.

Maybe this will finally bring both long overdue Emmy awards.

This popped into my YouTube feed, I don’t know anything about them/band, but I loved this video! The dancing, the precise moves, the fashion, the choreography, the cinematography, beautiful young people dancing - everything, it's joyous. Sometimes things just plop into your life and put a smile on your face.

So, what’s making you happy this week? It doesn’t have to be a video—just something that brought you a bit of a smile, a moment of simple joy?

Hoy is one of Great Britain’s most successful ever Olympians, dominating in the track cycling arena.

Hoy, 47, posted a statement on Instagram revealing he is undergoing chemotherapy after receiving his diagnosis last year, something he says “came as a huge shock, having had no symptoms up to that point.”

“My heart goes out to the many others who are also going through similar challenges right now,” he wrote. “I’m optimistic, positive and surrounded by love for which I’m truly grateful. As you might imagine, the last few months have been incredibly difficult.

“However, I currently feel fine – I am continuing to work, ride my bike and live my life as normal. It’s an exciting year of work ahead, not least with the Paris Olympics in July. I can’t wait to get stuck in, have fun and share it with you all.”

Just a few years ago, the popularity and sales growth of 'plant based alternative meat' was skyrocketing. Gen X, and Millennials couldn't wait to bite into meat alternatives, including substitutes for chicken and beef. But prices started off high and remain high (a $4.20 price gap between 'real meat' and 'plant based alternative meat') and sales have dropped. Research has found the meat alternatives have not caught on with Boomers and Zoomers.

In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, sales soared to $1.8 Billion in the USA. Over the past few years, sales have been dropping - the most current sales figures have the US down to $1.3 Billion in 'meat alternative' purchases.

The percentage of households purchasing plant-based meats at the market is declining. Though Millennials and Gen Xers (with higher incomes) make frequent purchases, the meat alternative trend has not been a hit with the up and coming 'Zoomers' who find the grocery store items 'too expensive'.

When I was 15 yrs old….

A boy followed me into the restroom one morning. I thought nothing of it. He cornered me and then he pulled out a knife and stuck it at my chest. He said.” I want that jacket and I want it now. I said, get that fucking knife away from me before I turn it around and put it in your eyeball. He was stunned. He said who the fuck are you? Said who the fuck are you right back at him. Then I shoved him back. Hard. He flew about 6 feet and landed on his ass with the knife still in his hand. He got up, called me a fucking bitch and ran out of the bathroom. I just stood there in the mirror, wondering what was happening looking back I don’t blame him. He was desperate and he just wanted my coat. And mine was the coolest jacket in the school.

When did they shift?

If yes, what caused the issue?

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) announced more store closures Tuesday, as the retail pharmacy giant continues to face pressure from the growth of online prescription delivery platforms and ongoing retail constraints.

Walgreens will close 500 stores next year, toward the end of the year, and reach a total of 1,200 store closings in the next three years, according to company executives on a fourth quarter earnings call today.

The number had not been previously announced, but Walgreens indicated up to 2,000 store closures coming during an earnings call in June. Walgreens stock jumped more than 12% in trading Tuesday on the news — signaling the move was no surprise, and even welcome, to investors.

The company announced fiscal fourth quarter earnings in line with expectations, with a loss per share of $3.48 compared to $0.21 in the same quarter in 2024. Revenues, meanwhile, increased 6% year over year to $37.5 billion.

Matthew Perry's longtime manager, who was appointed as executor of his estate, revealed she has settled all debts and his estate is ready to be closed, In Touch can exclusively report.

In Touch has obtained the final accounting report submitted in Matthew's probate case. Lisa Ferguson, Matthew's longtime business manager who was appointed executor of his estate, revealed the actor left behind assets totaling $1,596,914.47.

Lisa said there have been no creditor's claims filed and no unpaid creditor's claims. "The estate is solvent," the executor said.

Lisa said she did receive written demands for payments. She said all debts were handled without the need of the court's intervention.

The report noted, "An extension for filing the federal estate tax return has been timely filed and Petitioner has made sufficient payments for the estate taxes estimated to be due. Petitioner will pay any additional estate taxes determined to be due, in her capacity as Trustee of the Alvy Singer Living Trust dated June 2, 1999, as amended."

Lisa said all personal taxes, income taxes and all other taxes owed were paid. She said she has not sold any of Matthew's assets. The beneficiaries of Matthew's estate are his father, John Perry, his mother, Suzanne Morrison, his ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn, half-sister Emily Morrison, half-sister Caitlin Morrison, half-sister Madeline Morrison, half-sister Maria Perry and William Morrison

Lisa asked the court to sign off on the final report and close the probate case. She also asked to be paid $28,000 for her services.

As In Touch previously reported, Matthew was found unresponsive in the hot tub at his L.A. mansion after an apparent drowning on October 28, 2023. He was 54 years old at the time of his death.

Back in March, Matthew's team filed documents over his estate. The filing revealed that the actor created a will in 2009. He also created The Alvy Singer Living Trust, where he placed the majority of his assets.

Matthew asked that the trust be run by Lisa and Robin Ruzan, who happens to be actor Mike Myers' ex-wife.

Matthew's personal property, that was not already placed in the trust, was listed as $1 million. The rest of his property, including his home, are likely already in the trust.

Donald Trump didn’t even have to leave his building for an interview that streamed live on his friend and loyal supporter Dan Bongino’s video podcast Friday morning. But he still had trouble making it to the end of what may have been intended to be a longer sit-down.

After vamping for more than 30 minutes in Trump Tower as he waited for the ex-president to show up, Bongino began by boasting to the president about the “super, extra MAGA” crowd that tunes into his show. “We’re like the darkest MAGA of all,” Bongino said in an attempt to out-do Elon Musk.

At one point in the low-energy interview, Trump offered up insights such as how “amazed” he was that “king of woke” Harvey Weinstein got “schlonged.” But it was his final moment with Bongino that caught the eye of Kamala Harris’ social media team.

“Trump abruptly ends his live interview after it is reported that he is canceling interviews because he is ‘exhausted,’” @KamalaHQ tweeted, referring to a new report from Politico that the Republican candidate is “exhausted and refusing interviews” with less than 3 weeks to go until Election Day.

After about half an hour, as Bongino tried to ask another question, Trump said, “Hey, Dan, off the record, I gotta get going,” seeming not to realize the interview was airing live.

Bongino apologized to both Trump and his viewers for the abrupt end to the interview and let his guest go, but not before making him sign a baseball that he said he planned to auction off for charity.

“Pretty good, just like the old days,” Trump said from his chair as Bongino stood up and admired the signature.

Then, shortly after this article was published, Bongino sent the Daily Beast what he described as “receipts” showing Trump did not end the interview early (along with the charming note, “Does your mother tell her friends she has no living children out of embarrassment for having spawned such an embarrassing piece of s—t?”)

But in the screenshot of an email in which Trump’s team confirmed the interview, it clearly shows it was meant to be an hour long. Instead of staying for the full time he agreed to be live with Bongino and pushing back his next event, Trump ended the sit-down after a little more than 30 minutes had elapsed.

The theater community is searching for a beloved performer.

MJ The Musical star Zelig Williams disappeared on Oct. 3, with his missing persons flyer noting the 28-year-old was last seen at his home in Columbia, S.C., wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and brown slides.

"According to authorities," reads the poster shared by Black and Missing, "Zelig was last seen driving in the Congaree National Park area, where his vehicle was found."

His family members initially believed he may have been in a car crash due to an alert from his phone.

“Around 9:50 Thursday morning, he left just normally as he would,” Williams’ aunt Christine McLaughlin Barber told local South Carolina TV station WACH. “About 10 minutes later, we received an SOS ping from his phone from one of his friends in New York, indicating a crash.”

However, they have since ruled out a car accident, according to the outlet.

While authorities search for the actor, his Broadway colleagues—including Hugh Jackman, who worked with Williams on the 2019 concert tour “The Man. The Music. The Show"—are urging anyone with information to contact the Richland County Sheriff's Office.

“Zelig we love you and are praying for your safe return,” Jackman wrote on his Instagram Story Oct. 10, per Us Weekly. “Please pass this message on!!!”

As for his family, they're also asking local residents to report any possible info on his whereabouts.

"Words can't express what our family is going through right now," Barber wrote on Facebook Oct. 10. "Please continue to share his photos and videos. The more we share the more people can get the word out to other states/countries."

She added, "Please continue to pray pray pray for Zelig to come home safe. WE LOVE YOU ZELIG."

In addition to playing Jackson 5 member Marlon Jackson in the Michael Jackson musical, Williams was also cast in Hamilton in 2015 as an ensemble performer.

Earlier this month, he celebrated a more personal milestone by ringing in his 28th birthday.

"28 only feels like a new thing because 27 I gave my full yes to Christ," Williams shared on Instagram Sept. 11. "This yes is a daily yes. Yes, I’ll follow you. Yes, I’ll stop following my old ways. Yes, I’ll praise you. Yes, I’ll change this and that. Yes, I’ll listen. Yes, I’ll let go. I only say yes because of His goodness and love for me. He is unmatched. Thank you, Jesus for being good to me this year and keeping me in all my ways."

The SS United States, a 1,000-foot vessel that still holds the transatlantic speed record it broke in 1952, must leave its South Philadelphia berth of more than a decade by Sept. 12, said a federal judge Friday.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody put an end to a years-old rent dispute that culminated in a two-day January bench trial between the SS United States Conservancy, a steward of the ship, and its Pier 82 landlord, Penn Warehousing.

Tensions came to a boil in August 2021, when Penn Warehousing doubled its daily dockage fee for what was once known as the “Queen of the Seas” to $1,700, an increase the conservancy refused to accept, continuing to pay its previous rate, set in 2011. Penn Warehousing terminated the lease in March 2022 with a written notice, then took the conservancy to court, with the conservancy filing a counterclaim.

During the trial, attorneys for both sides tried to bend the vagueness of the original berthing agreement in their favor. Brody, who’d encouraged the parties to settle instead of leaving it up to her, ultimately gave each side a partial victory in her decision.

She took note of two key omissions in the original berthing agreement. There were no provisions for any change in the “lay up dockage fee” or provisions on how either party could end the relationship save for the vessel’s departure. Penn Warehousing’s demand for increased dockage fees with a 14-days notice “finds no support in the Berthing Agreement or contract law,” she wrote, and the conservancy’s failure to pay the new rate did not amount to a breach of the 2011 agreement or entitle its landlord to damages.

Still, Brody wrote that under Pennsylvania contract law, the berthing agreement is terminable at will with reasonable notice, which Penn Warehousing had issued in March 2022.

Susan Gibbs, conservancy president and granddaughter of the ship’s designer, said in a statement that the conservancy “was vindicated in not being compelled to pay a large sum of back rent.” Yet she lamented the ticking clock the conservancy is now under.

“The judge’s decision gives us a very limited window to find a new home for the SS United States and raise the resources necessary to move the ship and keep her safe,” she wrote.

The decision gives the conservancy about 90 days to find a new home. In addition to finding a location, Gibbs said the conservancy would need funds for insurance, tugs, surveys, and dock preparations for a move.

Penn Warehousing takes no joy in the victory, attorney Craig Mills said in an emailed statement.

“The best hope of everyone involved was that the Conservancy could successfully repurpose the ship,” he said. “But after decades of decay and delay, it is time to acknowledge the unavoidable and return Pier 82 to productive commercial service.”

Former One Direction stars paid tribute to fellow member Liam Payne, who died Oct. 16 after falling from his third story hotel room in Argentina, according to state police. He was 31.

Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles shared a joint statement on the official One Direction Instagram account on Thursday.

"We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing," they said. "In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly."

Liam Payne died of multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding: Preliminary autopsy report

"The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever," they continued. "For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly."

"We love you Liam," they said at the end of their statement before co-signing it from all four of them.

Separately, Tomlinson also shared a moving post about Payne on Instagram with a photo and said he "lost a brother."

"Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul," he said. "I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I'd longed all my life for."

Tomlinson went on to share how Payne was an "incredible songwriter" and in his opinion, "the most vital part of One Direction."

He ended his message with a message to Payne directly and told him that he is "beyond lucky to have had you in my life" and that he's "struggling with the idea of saying goodbye."

"I'm so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours , reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I'd have with you for life," he said.

Tomlinson also vowed to be there for Payne's son, Bear.

"I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was," he said.

In his own post, Malik also shared a message to Payne with a photo of the both of them, telling him what he meant to him.

"Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives," he began. "I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. When I was missing home as a 17 yr old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved."

The "ROOM UNDER THE STARS" artist added that while they would disagree at times, he "always secretly respected" him. He added that when it came to music, Payne was "most qualified in every sense."

He ended his message by saying, "I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what l'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly."

"I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are," Malik added.

An Instagram post from Styles followed with a message remembering Payne's character and the time they spent together in the band.

"I am truly devastated by Liam's passing," the "As It Was" singer began. "His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it."

"Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious," he continued. "He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life."

At the end of his message, he said his "heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did."

"I will miss him always, my lovely friend," Styles said.

If you hook up with a guy and suck him off, do you swallow?

The town? Ojai!

For those not familiar with Southern California, this is the equivalent of leaving Manhattan for East Hampton, or leaving San Francisco for Napa.

What would happen at this point ?

Estelle had two biological kids. Betty of course had none - and her stepkids may not like her? Bea adopted two sons. And Rue's boy is a guitar teacher.

It's not your imagination: The ground beneath Southern California has been particularly unsteady as of late, with the region experiencing more moderate-sized earthquakes this year than it has in decades.

What precisely is fueling the sequence of shakers is not entirely clear, and officials warn that prior seismic activity does not necessarily mean more powerful temblors are imminent. But the series of modest shakers have many wondering what is going on.

"Earthquakes pop off around the state, and it's a little bit like popcorn that they hit — sometimes they bunch up for reasons that we don't understand," said Susan Hough, seismologist for the U.S. Geological Survey.

By the count of seismologist Lucy Jones, a Caltech research associate, Southern California has felt 15 independent seismic sequences this year, with at least one magnitude 4 or higher earthquake. That's the highest annual total in the last 65 years, surpassing the 13 seen in 1988.

The most recent — a magnitude 4 — struck before dawn Sunday near Ontario International Airport. Just in Ontario, one of the most populous cities in San Bernardino County, there have been five earthquakes of magnitude 3 or higher over the past month.

The Malibu area has been another hot spot. There was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake on Feb. 9, strong enough to toss items off a counter; and a magnitude 4.7 on Sept. 12 — startling enough that the city's mayor and his wife dove under their kitchen table.

Eastside L.A. was rattled by a magnitude 4.4 earthquake centered in El Sereno on Aug. 12 and a magnitude 3.4 on June 2.

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake, the strongest to strike the region in three years, shook Southern California on Aug. 6, with an epicenter northwest of the Grapevine. Another widely felt quake, magnitude 4.9, struck on July 29 about 13 miles northeast of Barstow.

The series of seismic disturbances has shaken the nerves of some Southern Californians — serving as an unpleasant reminder of the omnipresent threat of the Big One.

But experts caution that the latest quakes don't provide any additional clarity on the potential timing of such a cataclysm.

"Seismologists have spent decades trying to read the tea leaves to look for patterns. The seismic network was installed in Southern California 100 years ago because scientists thought that small earthquakes would show patterns before the big earthquakes happened. And that just didn't work out," Hough said.

One thing has been clear: "Nobody has found patterns that are statistically meaningful before big earthquakes happen," she said.

Who are examples? Links please.

I'll start: The Godfather Part 2.

I was yelling at my husband for buying cheap small garbage bags because every time I opened the kitchen sink cabinet,the bag wasn’t properly in the frame. At bottom of my shopping list Friday I see “mousetrap?” written.

“Why mousetrap”?

“Well,I think I see little teethmarks on the bottom of the garbage bag under the sink.”

Open the cabinet, pull out freestanding metal shelves and everything stored in them (cleanser, Brillo, cascade) and I see a big white paper towel in the corner. I pull the pepper towel and behind it I see piles of mouse poo and the very large hole around the sink pipes. Smart little bastards, they pulled the paper towel out of the garbage and hid their entry/exit space. And their poo.

I have 3 cats. I thought mice were supposed to be terrified of the smell of cats. And believe me, overnight those cats make smells in their litter boxes. I hate to kill things. I’ve been leaving the kitchen cabinet door ajar for the cats, but I think my barricade of metal shelves will prevent cats from getting near the mice. I put paper towels down to catch poo and I’m still finding some. They’re not afraid

you laugh now but this is how Todd Haynes got started.

“It’s been an absolute blast doing this live show on MSNBC,” Hasan told viewers during his closing remarks on his final program Sunday. “It’s been a privilege, it’s been a pleasure.

Medhi is saying FU to MSNBC. He's not sticking around to become a "fill-in" anchor when someone calls in sick.

Have you ever turned up for a sex date and the guy sent you to the maternity ward? This has happened me about 5 times. Its a high percentage as I dont meet many guys. I usually send about 10 pics of varying beauty lol from rough to Saturday night ready. Anyways, are you able to just shake it off. One guy took the condom off after about 3 minutes and said it wasnt working. The thing is it really affected my confidence. Then yesterday he messaged me and I reminded him we had met. He said he just got scared the last time. This was somewhat a relief for me untill he mentioned Where we'd hooked up and it was the wrong place. So he may be getting the place incorrect OR ( and this is the thing) he does this regularly with gals. I know a gal who a rentboy turned up and said No rubbers. That would be crushing. Its affected my confidence and Im questioning myself all the time. Im 5ft 1, Ex model, some covers and I get the odd WOW when i send pics. Im wondering if its the fact im not very masc.

In their annual lineup of transgender people who have been killed is a Louisiana inmate named “Yella Clark, Jr,” who was service a life sentence. He was initially sent to prison for armed robbery, so we already know he was a pillar of the community. Then while in prison he killed another inmate so his sentence was enhanced to life in prison. He then became a she and was eventually killed in prison.

He's had an abysmal solo career and is touring 2k places in the US, swearing at and flipping off the audience. Covid has passed him by and he's doing shots with fans in the crowd.

[quote] Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork

Time for Americas who believe in democracy to join Antifa 🇺🇸

I just watched him do some dancing tribute with his wife who had some sort of brain thing and recovered. I have read several posts on her about guys who hooked up with him. What gives? Is it the Mormon thng?

Praise or criticize but do it with vigor.

This symbol connects me to ancient Babylon, Hebrew and other symbolic tribes of different cultures that adopted the zodiac from Babylon.

To me it represents our universal tribal belonging, transcending culture and time.

Trump’s campaign is in talks with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to join him on the trail in the final days of the 2024 race as he seeks to broaden his appeal among female voters, two sources familiar with the talks told CNN.

No events have been finalized, however, some of the discussions have centered on a potential joint appearance at a Fox News town hall in late October, the sources said.

I'm driving to Canada to watch the election results.

That's where I'll decide whether or not to return to the United States.

How about you?

I am obsessed. He is hot as hell, some reels have hinted at a very muscular body, dark and handsome. Anyone know if he is the gay?

The 5 major studios and Netflix should just buy up all the movie theaters. With the exception of Netflix, all the major streaming services are owned by one of the big 5 or under their perspective media conglomerate. Films would be released under their “studio” with a date that would allow you to stream at home or enjoy a marvelous experience at the theaters. That’s right— to attend your studio’s theater you’d have to already be a member with a subscription OR pay a hefty up-charge to attend a show with a friend. Seeing your streaming film in theaters would be an EXPERIENCE with gourmet food, arcade games, and other attractions. Foods, games, and attractions won’t be included in your Netflix or Disney+ subscription. Someone should listen to me.

His daughter is already claiming that Biden is holding her father past his release date.

Cute.

What does the datalounge have to say about this activity of mine?

OK, not a great title. But I didn't see a new thread.

I keep hearing people on design shows bitching about them. I think they are clean and neutral and easy to clean. I've heard "they show dirt". Well, no shit, and that's bad how? How filthy are these fuckers?

He can have Alan Ritchson’s roles now that Alan looks like Bibendum

She attended the Dancers Against Cancer gala in Beverly Hills and looked better than she has in years. She's now saying she will go to every performance for that Drag show she's producing in New York. Okay, so we've all said she won't get the Kennedy Center Honors because she can't make the trip. Can this be the start of a comeback?

Released today in the US, it’s the first OTC med for ED. It went on sale in England and Wales this spring. It’s a gel you spread on the glans to induce an erection. Widely available today, as one might imagine. It costs about the same, but I think it’ll sell better than Melanie’s new book.

The 500-plus reviews on Boots UK site are mixed unto negative.

I was searing a steak last night at a very high heat, when I turned away for what seemed like 20 seconds, only to come back and find it totally scorched. I tried cleaning it in the sink, but chunks of black flakes were going everywhere. So, I tossed it in the dishwasher on the 'heavy' cycle, thinking that would do the trick, but nope—still black.

Any advice?

Why is Mike Pence running for office as VPOTUS?

She smiled and smirked when Trump made that cruel/glib remark about Amber Thurman, the pregnant girl who died because a hospital refused to treat her when she was bleeding out.

This bitch radiates vile indifference. And that prim WASPy Connecticut routine she affects is a fucking joke.

You can tell she hates being black.

Have you ever turned up for a sex date and the guy sent you packing? This has happened me about 5 times. Its a high percentage as I dont meet many guys. I usually send about 10 pics of varying beauty lol from rough to Saturday night ready. Anyways, are you able to just shake it off. One guy stopped after about 3 minutes and said it wasnt working. The thing is it really affected my confidence. Then yesterday he messaged me and I reminded him we had met. He said he just got scared the last time. This was somewhat a relief for me untill he mentioned Where we'd hooked up and it was the wrong place. So he may be getting the place incorrect OR ( and this is the thing) he does this regularly with guys. I know a guy who a rentboy turned up and said No. That would be crushing. Its affected my confidence and Im questioning myself all the time. Im 6ft 1, Ex model, some covers and I get the odd WOW when i send pics. Im wondering if its the fact im not very masc.

Has she updated her face some more?

Oh, she's doomed!

She's usually so reliable. This is dreck. Bland-bland-bland. And so shrill, too. Why does it sound like something a moderately successful Eastern European pop star would have released in 2003?

THIS is how you follow up your Padam Padam era?

Girl, take some more time off and come up with better pop songs!

With the right-wing bullying amped up these days, I’m reminded of the bully Anita Bryant.

I’ve always wondered if she is deeply closeted.

To Tell The Truth

My vibe is now that Kamala has got this, but Trump and his rats are going to try to overturn the election-

Curious what you all think-

The Republican nominee spoke to a crowd in Detroit days after he was criticized for insulting the city.

Rose Nyland would be so proud.

'According to a Monday report from The Guardian, the National Rifle Association’s recently crowned CEO, Doug Hamlin, once pleaded no contest to having brutally tortured a cat to death alongside several of his fraternity brothers at the University of Michigan. In 1980, Hamlin and four of his Alpha Delta Phi fraternity brothers were sentenced to 200 hours of community service and a monetary fine after brutally murdering the organization’s pet cat, BK. At the time, Hamlin served as Alpha Delta Phi’s chapter president. According to contemporaneous news reports obtained by The Guardian, in December 1979 the group of men — allegedly upset with BK for not using his litter box — cut off BK’s paws before stringing him up and setting him on fire, ultimately killing him. A passerby who heard BK’s screams as he was being tortured notified police. Hamlin and his fraternity brothers were ultimately expelled from Alpha Delta Phi, but not from the university, and their records were expunged after completing their sentences.'

Josh Seiter, a former contestant on "The Bachelorette," has allegedly faced "vitriolic" backlash from the "far left" after coming out as transgender earlier this summer.

"Ironically, I’ve found that the far left and the LGBTQ community have been some of the most vitriolic and mean towards me throughout all of this," Seiter told "The Daily Mail."

"I haven’t been met with acceptance, tolerance and open arms like the left loves to preach about," the former "Bachelorette" contestant added.

"I have struggled with my gender identity—& resulting feelings of guilt and shame-for as long as I can remember. I spent the last three decades taking great pains to keep this side of me private," the Chicagoan shared on Instagram on May 20.

"I ask for your thoughts and prayers-and patience-as I transition. I know it will take time for everyone, including myself, to adjust. I simply ask that you accept me now, just as you did before," he continued.

The Chicago-Kent College of Law grad has drawn skepticism for choices like electing to keep facial hair while transitioning to a desire to use women’s restrooms. The creator also took heat by wanting to date with values rooted in traditionalism.

"Dates can be so cheap. The last couple of dates that I’ve gone on, I’ve expected the guy to pay because I feel like the man should pay for the first date, and they just don’t want to," Seiter said in a video posted on Instagram last month.

Sitting there after the bill came, Seiter claimed to tell a dinner-mate "the guy should pay first," to which the date replied, "in that case, you should pay." Seiter added a desire to be treated "like a woman."

Users flocked to the comments with criticism of his post.

Antifa and BLM are calling it murder. It is clearly not when you watch the video. This woman was severely mentally ill and the Asian cop had to defend himself.

Tarsem’s spectacular film 'The Fall' is now streaming on MUBI in a stunning 4K restoration. It’s a beautiful fantasy with real locations and no CGI. Lee Pace stars, and the visuals are breathtaking. If you haven’t seen it, now’s the time.

What exactly goes on at these events? Years ago, I volunteered with them for a short time, and they were always trying to get people to work these events.

The just released memoir by former First Lady Melania Trump proves to be a 'disaster', according to tracking from Circana Book Scan. In it's debut week, the wife of Presidential candidate Donald Trump sold a paltry 85,000 copies of the hardcover book titled 'Melania'. In comparison, former First Lady Michelle Obama sold 1.4 million in the first week with her memoir, 'Becoming', in November 2018. By November 2019, it had sold 11.5 million copies.

Over at Amazon, “Melania” is a dud on Amazon’s Kindle e-books at number 161. Amazon lists a large print paperback at 6,856. No audio book is available.

Donald Trump boasted at the Al Smith dinner that Melania Trump’s book, “Melania,” is number 1 on the NY Times best seller list.

But that will be for one week only.

“Melania” has not made it to number 1 on USA Today, Amazon, or at Barnes & Noble. It’s been outsold by Bob Woodward’s “War” and by Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir.

At Barnes and Noble, “Melania” is number 40.

The Times list is ten days old when it appears. Initial sales and back orders propelled “Melania” to number 1. But the momentum wasn’t there.

[quote]Italy is finalizing a controversial security decree, dubbed ‘anti-Gandhi’ because it targets non-violent protests. It also makes it impossible for undocumented migrants to buy a SIM card and bans light cannabis.

[quote]Meloni’s security decree has been met with unusually strong opposition from the country’s judiciary. Fabrizio Vanorio, a public prosecutor from Naples, warned: “It provides for technically fascist rules. If approved, it would return Italy to an authoritarian criminal law similar to that of the Mussolini years or, to give a more modern example, yo that of Orbán’s Hungary.”

Ryan Murphy is interested in making a few bonus episodes about what is currently happening with the Menendez brothers and the movement to have them released that’s exploded.

The new series starts on Channel 4 next Tuesday Sep. 24.

I only see one rather cute guy in the lineup, but maybe the others have winning personalities.

This was an enjoyable watch.

Nom nom nom

Allegedly he tried to pay her to silence her.

Seriously? He looks like a mentally handicapped person who struggles to dress himself.

Explain the thought process of a white person getting a nose ring. Are they really saying to themselves, so many people will want to fuck me now. Or I look so mysterious and exotic with the fucking hoop in a nostril. And no one will ever think how disgusting it must be to blow your nose.

And what about earrings in someone’s eyebrow. Do people actually think that makes me much more fuckable now? Or weird piercings in the middle of someone’s cheeks, like the chick in True Detective Season Five. Or piercing the uppermost part of your ear? Or getting ten piercings on the same earlobe? Are you supposed to be more fuckable? If not, I just don’t get it. And it looks just awful.

What is the thought process? Help me understand.

All your answers are in this bittle lottle!

Beautiful to watch

I once said to someone who asked me how I felt about them that I couldn’t care less whether they lived or died in front of me.

According to sources, Streisand will be releasing yet another 'duet' album this coming January / February, with duets already recorded with Sting, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan. Duets with Adele, Arianna Grande and Miley Cyrus have also been talked about the past few months, yet nothing has been confirmed.

This will be her third duet album in eleven years. The first two - released in 2014 and 2016 - gave her back-to-back #1 albums, solidifying her place as the only artist to have a #1 album in the US for six consecutive decades. If this third duet album hit the top, she will be the only artist to have a #1 album in 7 decades.

What says the DL to this heartwarming love story?

Now you know.

I wonder what "Prince-Akeem"'s backstory is. A video game character? A descendant of the lost royal house of Iraq? Or maybe he's just cosplaying as an Arab-American this time, much like his blackface antics?

Never a boring moment on… The DataLounge™

April 23, 1957 - October 9, 2014

A shame we’ll never know more about her. She was a talented comic actor. Even Pauline Kael said so. But Jan was also a basket case. Kevin Nealon said she seemed a little lost even before her mother’s death in 1986. The death of her father, followed closely by the murder of Phil Hartman, seemed to send her into a spiral and 9/11 sealed the deal.

She spent the last years of her life living in a holler near Bearsville, NY. She had leukemia, went into remission and about 5 years later, was diagnosed with chemo-resistant neck cancer. She opted to forgo treatment and died in her brother’s care.

Jan shunned computers, showbiz, family, friends and her own health. She said if she were married she’d be in prison…kids, death row. Jan dated Nealon for a couple years, but he broke up with her after the first SNL season. She then lived with an artist for a few years. Who knows what happened with that. And her relationship with Phil Hartman has been the subject of rumors for decades, which were exacerbated by Brynn Hartman threatening Jan in letters never sent.

I think we only saw the edge of her talent. She just wanted live with her demons, not Hollywood or sobriety. In the end, that’s exactly what happened

What's the story here?

I just came across this on YouTube, but after watching this gay scene, I'm wondering if it's worth it to watch the whole series?

The bearish guy is pretty hot.

Continuing our discussion originally started by Voice of the Night.

Prior thread:

Anna, I just don't know what to do about Carla.

I’m the cherry pits.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama has begun stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris. Bill Clinton is holding a series of campaign events for her in battleground states.

Yet the Democratic superstar many members of the party would like to see helping Harris has been absent from the campaign trail so far.

With just 20 days until the election, Michelle Obama has worked behind the scenes to boost turnout in key swing states, but she has yet to schedule an official appearance for Harris since the Democratic National Convention. Two people familiar with the matter said she has expressed fresh concerns about security following two assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump.

Both Harris and Trump are receiving an unprecedented level of security after the former president faced two apparent attempts on his life this summer. Measures like more Secret Service agents and bulletproof glass are now commonplace on the campaign trail.

“After the two assassination attempts against former President Trump, the staffs of all the former presidents and first ladies recognized the new reality and so does the Secret Service,” a person familiar with the matter said, calling them “a wake-up call to everyone” to redouble their efforts on security “in light of the new reality.”

Her low profile stands out after her rousing speech in August at the Democratic National Convention, when she implored members of her party not to get complacent about the November election and repeatedly urged voters to instead “do something!”

Michelle Obama is expected to add Harris campaign events to her schedule as Election Day nears, five people familiar with the planning said, though nothing has been finalized at this point. She is expected to play a role in the “closing arguments” for the Democratic campaign, three of those people said.

By the time polls close on Nov. 5, another one of the sources said, “she will have made her voice heard.”

Michelle Obama’s office and the Harris campaign both declined to comment.

“While we are not able to comment on the specifics of our protective operations, safeguarding former President and Mrs. Obama is a top priority for the Secret Service,” USSS spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.

Several Democratic strategists have been eager to see an all-hands-on-deck effort from the biggest names in the party.

Another former first lady — Hillary Clinton — is scheduled to start campaigning for Harris in the closing two weeks, after holding several fundraisers for Harris since she took over the top of the ticket. Michelle Obama has not done any fundraisers for Harris during that period.

Michelle Obama has the unique appeal of being the most popular Democratic surrogate, in part because she has never run for elected office. In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, she was the only one to receive majority favorability among registered voters.

For the most part, Obama has focused her political efforts in 2024 on “When We All Vote,” the voter registration and engagement initiative she launched in 2018, which will seek to mobilize 5 million voters this cycle, according to the group.

She views her role as a high-profile surrogate quite differently than her husband does, according to two people familiar with the dynamic.

“People sometimes forget: she’s not a politician,” one of the people said.

Obama has been open about her disdain for partisan politics, despite some in both parties speculating about her running for office in the future. Earlier this year, her office flatly stated that she does not intend to seek the presidency and reiterated her reluctance to re-enter the political fray in such a manner.

There is a sense among some party insiders that deploying Michelle Obama might be most effective at the very end, according to the person familiar with the dynamic.

“You have to pick the moment when you can move the needle the most,” this person said, “and that hasn’t happened yet.”

Which would win the knife fight?

Putting aside politics for a sec, I find TC to be kinda cute😍... anyone else agree?

I think starting “Spooky Season” after Labor Day made people sick of it.

Harriet Sansom Harris will reprise her role as agent Bebe Glazer on a "Frasier" Season 2 episode, while Rachel Bloom will guest as her daughter.

The Neighborhood currently resembles my life.

My next door neighbor is like Dave Johnson. A happy go lucky, extroverted guy constantly knocking on my door inviting me to do something with him. I'm like Calvin Butler but I'm not married. I am however slightly curmudgeonly and often peek out the window first to make sure neighbor isn't outside before I go out to car or mailbox. But I do like him and think he's a good guy, just bit overly exuberant about everything.

The guy who leaked Trump's tax returns.

Official thread.

I was reading about the ban on surrogacy in Italy on X. I realized that most of the responses were kind of anti-gay. Even though straight people participate in surrogacy as well. While reading X, it felt like gays were seen as infant monsters that children must be guarded from. People were saying that gay people were renting wombs to create fake families. One woman retorts that homosexuals want the dividends of heterosexual without putting in the work.

Shad lash daysh!

I just love The Munsters. It’s hilarious. I watch it in several episode blocks airing all October Pluto TV

Two prostitutes were in the room from 11.30 a.m. to minutes before Payne's death. Both were blonde and full figured. One argued about money in the lobby with Liam , who shouted about giving her "$22,000 dollars" to "help" her. An Argentinian man named "Roger" who was seen holding hands with Liam, who had to deny in an interview that he and Roger were lovers. Roger stormed out of the hotel, his whereabouts are unconfirmed.

Take a vote.

I steal all kinds of shit from the exam room.

I turned mine off for a minute, and saw an ad for joining the army-- in Spanish, and featuring a super hot army guy.

These people are NUTS. Who would pay that much for a non collectible car like a 77 Monte Carlo. It's pleasant enough but not at that price. They sell lots of ordinary cars from the past that are not collectible and put sky high prices on them.

Andrew Garfield recently told People magazine that Mel Gibson “deserves to make films” and has “done a lot of beautiful healing with himself.” Gibson’s career in Hollywood nosedived after his infamous DUI arrest in 2006, which included the “Braveheart” Oscar winner making comments disparaging Jewish people. Gibson directed Garfield in the 2016 war drama “Hacksaw Ridge,” for which Garfield was Oscar nominated for best actor. The filmmaker landed a best director nom.

“I learned a lot, actually. I learned that people can heal. I learned that people can change, that people can get help. I learned that everyone deserves respect,” Garfield answered when People asked what he learned from making “Hacksaw Ridge” with Gibson. “And that people deserve second chances, third chances, fourth chances. That none of us are infallible.”

“He’s done a lot of beautiful healing with himself,” Garfield added. “And thank God. Because he’s an amazing filmmaker, and I think he deserves to make films. He deserves to tell stories, because he has a very, very big, compassionate heart. He’s the kind of director that would come from behind the monitors, just with his eyes wet. He knew when it was right and he knew when it wasn’t right. And I just really trusted him. And he’s a visceral storyteller so he can feel… He’s like he can’t help but feel everything. He’s a real empathetic guy.”

Gibson only recently returned to the director’s chair for the first time since “Hacksaw Ridge” with the upcoming thriller “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg. The movie opens in theaters in 2025. While he continued to act in the years after his 2006 arrest, it was rarely in major Hollywood tentpoles or studio films.

Following his arrest in 2006, Gibson issued a lengthy apology for his comments about Jewish people and said “there is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of antisemitic remark.”

“I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge,” he added at the time. I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena. As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologize directly to those who have been hurt and offended by those words.”

Is he in jail? And if not, why not?

Was his Congressional seat replaced? Is it up for grabs this November?

Even with her career in the shitter.

Zayn is preparing to embark on his first-ever solo tour nearly a decade after he officially split from One Direction in 2015.

The former boy band star, 31, announced on Wednesday (September 18) that he would be bringing his 11-date Stairway to the Sky tour to the US and UK beginning this fall.

“Appreciate your patience, love, and support,” the “Pillowtalk” singer wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to enjoy great music together. This time I really mean soon see you in 35 days.”

Zayn teased the tour during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon – his first TV appearance in eight years since he performed his 2016 song “Alienated” on the NBC late-night show.

The tour will be in support of his long-awaited fourth studio album, Room Under the Stairs, which he released earlier this year.

He previously described the record as an opportunity “for the listener to get more insight on me personally as a human being – my ambitions, my fears.”

Zayn will kick off his tour in the US on October 23 in San Francisco, California, before hitting Las Vegas, Nevada (October 25); Los Angeles, California (October 27); Washington DC (October 30); and New York City, New York (November 2).

Zayn first rose to fame as a solo contestant on The X Factor in 2010. Following his elimination, he was brought back and partnered with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction.

The five-piece act went on to become a global sensation, releasing a string of Top 10 albums and embarking on several world tours.

In 2015, amid their world tour in Asia, Zayn announced his shock departure.

“My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band,” he said in a statement at the time, explaining: “I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.”

The rest of the band went on permanent hiatus soon after in 2016.

Cheryl Cole, who shared a son with Liam Payne, has issued a statement on the death of the superstar.

In a paragraph posted to Instagram, Cole pleaded with the media to stop with “abhorrent reports” and “media exploitation” of his death for the sake of their son Bear.

“As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being,” she said. “Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”

She continued, “What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days. It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future. I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving, other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking up the pieces. Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.”

Cole closed her statement, asking the public to please give “Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.” Payne died on Oct. 16 after a fall from a hotel rooftop in Buenos Aires. He was 31.

News emerged that Payne had died from “multiple trauma” and “internal and external hemorrhage” after falling three floors from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina according to the city’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office. It was unclear whether the fall was an accident, with authorities continuing to investigate the circumstances.

The couple first met when Payne auditioned for the U.K. edition of “The X Factor” as a 14 year old in 2008. Cole, who was 10 years his senior, was on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh.

The two began dating in 2016 and went on to have a son together, named Bear, in 2017. They ended their relationship the following year and Payne went on to have a long-term relationship with model Maya Henry. Payne was originally in Buenos Aires with his current girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, but she left the vacation a few days earlier.

In an interview with The Sunday Times a few months after their split, Cole revealed Payne had wanted to be a father from the age of 16. “He wanted to settle down and have a family and not do the solo thing. Then [I] encouraged him to do that. And then it didn’t work out.”

Another to cross off my Christmas card list.

As in, not the usual suspects like "Believe," "If I Could Turn Back Time," or "Jesse James," but the hidden gems in her extensive catalog. This little Donna Summer-sounding number is one of my faves.

Preview from 11 September 1957. Creepy AF. Just as well it was cancelled.

I think it’s possible. There was a research screening of it less than two months after it wrapped in Uruguay. I suspect they feel the need to get ahead of the shit which will no doubt splatter on JLo in the coming months due to her longtime “association” with Sean Puffy Combs. JLo apparently is not only one of the producers she bankrolled the film herself.

33yo British actor. First Renegade Nell and now Joan. I'm starting to have a crush on Frank Dillane and he's not my type. He's kind of dumpy of body, and AWG in looks. But finally he is charming and sexy in these series.

Trivia - Royal Academy of Dramatic Art graduate. And his father Stephen Dillane played Stannis Baratheon in Game of Thrones.

Suddenly, Liam's death is desperate publicity grab.

Philip G. Zimbardo was 91. I’ll never forget watching a documentary based upon the controversial 1971 experiment.

Money maker

Strictly has just celebrated its 20th anniversary and the after much speculation it has been widely reported that Giovanni has SENSATIONALLY QUIT.

There's speculation about legal action from Amanda Abbington who felt bullied after pulling out and creating a DANCE DISASTER and Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore also had unhappy experiences on the show with Giovanni. There were also stories about his behaviour towards Faye Tozer and Michelle Visage.

There's a fine line between demanding excellence and just being an abusive twat and Giovanni has apparently crossed the line.

I wonder if Rose Ayling Ellis was different because she was always paired with a chaperone to translate?

Anyway if Giovanni does quit will the gurning ginger guy replace him or will they get a new pro in?

Celebrity wise it's Olympic year so expect a few Olympians. Tom Daley is a long standing target (just imagine Dustin's waxy face as he rubs crotches with Gorka) and the producers would be desperate for Laura Kenny although she's happy just being at home with her kids now. Maybe non lesbian lioness Steph Houghton who is retiring this summer?

Sara and Keren from Bananarama must have turned it down countless times as they'd not be up for all that work but Siobhan might be up for it. And Susan Ann Sulley from The Human League would do a great paso.

How popular is Hawley in Missouri?

Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson were upset when they learned their Knives Out film would not get a long theatrical window. Netflix vastly overpaid for the Knives Out movies. Netflix purposely overpays because their model eschews residuals. This is known. Craig and Johnson took the money and apparently just hoped Ted Sarandos would change his mind after he saw it.

Not whores: Emerald Fennell and Margot Robbie, who bypassed Netflix's $150 million offer for Wuthering Heights in favor or a distributor who will go theatrical.

The film held its first screening last night and the reaction has been overall positive, with Denzel being declared the frontrunner and a lock for Supporting Actor.

Paul Mescal is the classic case of taking an indie actor and throwing them in a big studio blockbuster. It either works out (think Laura Dern in Jurassic Park) or doesn’t (think Alicia Silverstone in Batman & Robin), and it allegedly worked here.

He might be known for traveling the country in search of deep-fried delicacies, but Guy Fieri is all about fitness these days—and fans are impressed.

In a video shared to Instagram on Thursday, Oct. 17, Fieri, 56, announced the arrival of signed bottles of his Flavortown BBQ sauce to Walmart, showing off his trim frame in the process.

"Attention Walmart shoppers, if you're in aisle 17 of Walmart right now, there's a bunch of signed bottles of Flavortown sauce," Fieri said in the clip, casually dressed in shorts, a T-shirt, and flip-flops. "Honey barbecue? The bomb."

Followers couldn't get over the celeb chef's toned physique.

"Damn guy. Hitting the gym?" asked one fan.

"Looking slim and trim !!! 🔥🔥🔥 Spending time in the gym! Awesome !!!🖤🖤🖤," raved a second person.

"Bro! Looking great! 🤜🏼🥪," another Instagram user declared.

"Somebody’s been getting after it looking great!" agreed a fourth commenter.

Fieri has reportedly lost 30 pounds since 2020. He opened up about the process in a May 2024 interview with Men's Health, revealing that he hikes with a weighted backpack every morning and incorporated HIIT workouts with a trainer into his routine twice per week. He also extolled the benefits of spending time in the sauna followed by a cold plunge.

"The thing about cold plunges is that you gotta get through the first 30 seconds," he said. "When I started, I hated waiting on the timer to go off. But now I breathe and get into the right mind space. The energy it gives you…it gets me fired up. I do it every day."

Is everyone into freestyle artist Sa-Fire? I’ve been a fan of hers ever since her debut self-titled album appeared in 1988.

No, this is not a advert for this service. Just thought I'd pass on a great experience for anyone else interested in a better internet service if what you have is less than stellar.

Just switched over to this new service that provides a high speed internet connection from their cell towers. I am very impressed. I'm at a summer house way out in the middle of nowhere and have been rather unhappy with the providers. Luckily I'm less than a mile from a huge AT&T cell tower and I'm getting 200 mbps and over using their wireless router (that is free by the way. One local cable company wanted to charge me $300.00 to come out and install their equipment. It's $60/mo and is working like a charm, with the exception of the 9 days I had no electricity during hurricane Helene. The main thing I like is that you're less likely to have outages you have with providers that use cables on poles. You just put the receiver in a window pointed toward the nearest tower and let it sync up and you're off and running.

Ben Affleck’s hair and beard makeover is just the tip of the iceberg as he’s decided to overhaul his life from top to bottom now that he’s single again – and it’s got his ex Jennifer Lopez fuming that he never cared enough to take care of himself like this while they were married, a source exclusively tells In Touch.

Famous all over the internet for his frumpy look – usually sporting a sweater and five o’clock shadow with a cigarette to boot – the source says that now “Ben is suddenly going out of his way to pamper himself and look his absolute best.

“He’s now dying his hair, getting manicures and pedicures, getting waxed from head to toe. He’s even getting hair plugs and seeing the dermatologist for skin treatments to turn back the clock.”

“Even his diet is cleaner. He’s cut out a ton of the junk.”

The Gone Girl star, 52, debuted his new look while out and about with his kid, Fin, in Santa Monica on Thursday, October 3. He sported a smart-looking pressed button down shirt in blue plus black dress pants and shoes, along with a well-matched silver watch.

Even his hair and beard had been trimmed and the subtle gray streaks seemed to have disappeared.

“As you can imagine J. Lo is seeing red,” the insider continues, “because these are all the things she wanted him to do when they were together and he totally refused.”

It’s clear now that Ben is ready to pick himself back up and move on post divorce, according to the source.

“It feels like a total slap in the face because it’s sending this message that she wasn’t worth making these changes for, but now that he’s single and looking to impress new women he’s willing to step it up and stop being such a slob.”

“Everyone is telling her he’s just a middle-aged fool who didn’t deserve her, but she’s seething and feeling pretty let down too.”

Wow. It was nice to see a good Alien film again! It’s the best one since Aliens! Much better than Alien 3, Resurrection, Prometheus and Covenant. Covenant makes me sad because I really wanted that one to be good but it was meh.

Romulus lives up to the acclaim and is actually a good time and feels a bit like a throwback to the OG film. The tone of this one is horror like the original, unlike its sequels.

I will say that the second half moves slower than the first half despite that being the half with all the deaths etc. it could have easily shaved off 20 minutes or so, but still, a terrific film. Go see it!!! All the young actors do a terrific job but Cailee Spaeny is magnificent as the lead character, Rain Carradine. Cailee and David Jonnson give breakout star performances, with Jonnson being the heart of the film.

The story is simple, like the original, but magnificent the same. This film has some of the best cinematography I’ve seen so far this year. It’s a must see in theaters.

A former Los Angeles police detective for years hid the truth about how she killed her ex's new wife. Now, she could go free.

The family of Sherri Rasmussen is outraged that a California board recommended that her killer is eligible for parole.

A former Los Angeles police detective was convicted of murdering her ex-boyfriend’s wife in 2012, more than two decades after Sherri Rasmussen was killed in her Southern California condo.

But last month parole officials concluded that Stephanie Lazarus, the former detective who was sentenced to 27 years to life in prison, is eligible for parole. And Rasmussen’s relatives are outraged that the woman who hid the truth about the murder and continued to work as a law enforcement officer for more than 20 years could go free.

Lazarus, now 63 and incarcerated southeast of Los Angeles, pleaded not guilty during her trial and had not publicly admitted to her role in the 1986 killing until a parole suitability hearing on Nov. 16, according to two relatives who attended the hearing.

Connie Rasmussen, Sherri Rasmussen’s older sister, said in her family's first interview about the decision that while Lazarus acknowledged killing Sherri during the hearing, she did not apologize to relatives and appeared to downplay the seriousness of the crime, saying that she hadn’t intended to kill Sherri when she went to the Van Nuys condo on Feb. 24, 1986.

Watched Will & Harper, a road trip documentary on Netflix about Will Ferrell and his former SNL writing partner who announced his transition via email a few years ago. It is so affirming, insightful, and full of affirming human kindness and the power of friendship. Lots of SNL icons being supportive, with a rollercoaster ride of funny and scary moments, shockingly positive affirmations from unlikely Red Staters , and the usual cruelty you'd expect from MAGAts as the pair road trip from New York to LA.

Will Ferrell really shines in this as a great friend and kind human, and Harper Lewis really emerges as a great ambassador for live and let live late in life transitioners.

Highly recommended.

I was on my Saturday jog up here in New England and there were many groups of geese flying today - I stopped for 60 seconds (its at the ocean so there is alot of open sky) and I just watched them- and holy cow, they really fly amazingly fast! They turned into a little speck from being right above me..

I was kind of in awe and it was for once a pure moment and not one of me worried about the election/life/dying, ect-

And I do not think the term is group- What are they - a flock? A gaggle?

Anyone else a big fan? Any appreciation? He's the best of the straight bro rock. I remember my older brother and his friends being really into him. I didn't like him as a kid. As I grew he became one of my favorites. He's got some great songs.

OMG this is the gayest country song ever.

Even gayer than Steve Grand!

I'm shocked that this guy has a country music following, because his songs are quite graphic:

[bold]He's bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides, I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside

I kiss him on his neck and then he kisses on my bussy, Call him "Daddy" while I holler

Man, that boy so damn good looking (looking, looking)

We made love and then he kissed me, I don't want it to end

Every day we spend together, I fall more into him

That boy he takes my breath away, I can't find the words to say

So I wrote this little note, kiss it, seal it, so you know

I've got some time, if you've got some time too

You've been on my mind baby, let me remind you while I lay you down

I can't get enough, I'm stuck in your love

That's fine with me, nowhere else I wanna be[/bold]

I was just reading about Russia's interference in Canadian politics - using disinformation to spread right wing lies. They were using both Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson as proxies. Putin has used disinformation for years to destabilize democracy in the west. Both Brexit and the first (hopefully last) Trump administration would not have happened without Putin's disinformation campaign.

Now the same gruesome campaign is being waged against Harris/Walz. It is INSANE to me that so many on the right and far left support Putin. We are in great danger of losing our democracy and some people don't even seem to care. In fact almost 50% of the public and large swaths of young people won't even vote. I am freaking that their ignorance and apathy many lead to the end of democracy in America.

How the fuck did we get here?

Beautiful to watch!

Chris Pratt doesn't have time for "bad attitudes" when making movies.

The Electric State star, 45, revealed on Thursday, Oct. 17 during a New York Comic Con panel for his upcoming Netflix sci-fi film that when an actor has a "bad attitude" while filming, it "ruins everything for everyone."

While commending his "incredible" costar, Millie Bobby Brown, for her attitude on and off set during the panel, which also featured Electric State directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Pratt shared an aside about what happens when colleagues aren't as incredible to work with.

"Look, these guys can attest to this, because they're the same way, like, there's no room for s---ty attitudes there," Pratt said. "You can't have a bad… you can't have a bad attitude in movie making, it ruins everything for everyone, and then you don't last long."

"It sucks when people have a crappy attitude. So when you show up on set, there's no reason why you should... Like, 'Oh, are you having a hard time living your dream? Is that tough for you today?' Like, come on and pull your head out," he continued. "Have fun."

As Pratt revealed, he and Brown, 20, did indeed have fun on the set of their latest film. Set to premiere on Netflix on March 14, 2025, the Electric State also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci, as well as the voices of Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk.

"And she's just incredible," Pratt said of Brown. "She was surrounded by all these animals. She's like, they would yell cut and she'd go to her home and she's finding a home for, like some pygmy goat to be adopted and organizing a U-Haul full of pit bull puppies to be taken to Indiana. Like she has such a huge heart, such a love for animals."

"And so we had a great time. We became fast friends, and you can't get rid of me," he joked. "Sorry."

I'll be watching both, anyone else?

In 2021, Nassib – then playing for the Las Vegas Raiders – became the first active NFL player in league history to publicly identify as gay.

Nassib said he agonized over the decision for 15 years, adding that he was a private person and wasn’t seeking any publicity.

Months later, he became the first active NFL player identifying as gay to feature in a regular season game, starring in the Raiders’ thrilling 33-27 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

When he announced, Nassib pointed towards The Trevor Project – a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ youth – and how it had helped him.

On Friday, Nassib will continue that partnership, as he announces the second round pick of the Cleveland Browns – the team with whom Nassib began his NFL career in 2016 – at the 2024 NFL Draft.

As the team’s guest picker, Nassib will be joined on stage in Detroit by The Trevor Project’s founder and interim CEO, Peggy Rajski.

Britain’s next leading man? Meet Louis Partridge, the young actor taking over fashion and film alike

He’s dating one of the world’s most famous popstars, he’s walked the runways for globally-revered designers, and he’s about to share the screen with Cate Blanchett – is Louis Partridge the new leading light of British cinema?

With his upcoming role in dynastic biopic House of Guinness, which chronicles the tragedies and triumphs of the family of Anglo-Irish billionaires, British actor Louis Partridge will need to get to grips with some of modern history’s most illustrious power couples. Think Lady Brigid Guinness marrying Prince Frederick of Prussia (they fell in love while she nursed wounds he sustained in a not-so regal tractor accident), or the relationship between the most swinging of sixties socialites, Tara Browne and the model Suki Poitier.

And while 21-year-old Louis has already proven himself to be quite the actor – holding his own alongside screen icons like Hugh Grant and Julie Walters in Paddington 2, or Bryan Cranston in Argyle – he may be able to draw from lived experience when he takes on the loves and losses of the Guinness family.

The remainder of the Fox lot will probably be sold to developers soon, the Paramount lot not far behind. I expect Comcast to buy Warner Bros and consolidate production with Universal (U can turn more of their lot into rides and attractions.)

Los Angeles will only support a small production community who are kept afloat by gigantic tax breaks. All jobs will be union jobs and impossible for outsiders to break into. People who want to get started in production- including actors- will go to Atlanta or Albuquerque instead of Hollywood.

This Dallas-filmed horror flick is a perfect slasher movie. It has it all: soap opera drama between Vera Miles and La Zuniga, sorority babes, dream analysis, and half of it takes place in a quasi-shopping mall after hours where a psychopath is hacking college students to bits. It almost plays like a fever dream. Did any of you bitches have the privilege of seeing this in the theater?

After five decades in Hollywood, Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress Kathy Bates says she is ready to yell cut. The esteemed performer will put away her scripts following CBS‘ reboot of Matlock, premiering Sept. 22 and later dropping on Paramount+.

“This is my last dance,” she told the New York Times simply in a new interview published Sunday.

In fact, Bates revealed that she was ready to retire earlier, after a film shoot had soured for her (she did not specify the production) late last year. However, in January 2024, her agents sent her the script for the procedural, the premise of which — a reimagining on the classic legal TV drama, featuring a septuagenarian righting wrongs — intrigued the actress as a person who has faced injustice earlier in her career, she said.

“Everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it,” she said of the series. “And it’s exhausting.”

Bates is most known for her Academy Award-winning role as Annie Wilkes in 1990’s Misery, about a violent hermit who kidnaps a famous novelist. Later on, she had arcs on television shows like Six Feet Under, The Office, Two and a Half Men and American Horror Story: Coven. She won Emmys for Outstanding Guest Actress and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for the latter two projects. She also starred in Netflix’s two-season-long 2017 sitcom Disjointed, which follows a medical dispensary’s owner. Her latest turns were in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and Netflix’s A Family Affair, opposite Nicole Kidman.

With an 18-episode order, Matlock is anything but restful. The remake of the late ’80s original (which starred Andy Griffith) follows a brilliant attorney’s return to a prestigious law firm after having achieved success in her younger years. It will also feature Jason Ritter, Skye P. Marshall and Beau Bridges. It hails from showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.

“It becomes my life,” Bates said of the all-consuming nature of acting. “Sometimes I get jealous of having this talent. Because I can’t hold it back, and I just want my life.”

Part of II Things that Annoy you, now in its 600th post.

Russell Crowe may not be in “Gladiator II,” but his late character Maximus has been revealed at last to be the father of Paul Mescal’s lead Lucius.

The latest trailer for Ridley Scott’s highly-anticipated epic sequel has confirmed that Crowe’s Maximus fathered Lucius with Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), as long suspected. Lucius is the nephew of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) who was killed by Russell Crowe’s Maximus; the character is also the grandson of Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris). Maximus died in “Gladiator.”

Spencer Treat Clark played Lucius in the 2000 feature.

“Gladiator II” is set 20 years after the events of the first film. Joseph Quinn, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington co-star.

The official synopsis reads: “From legendary director Ridley Scott, ‘Gladiator II’ continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.”

Scott’s “Napoleon” screenwriter David Scarpa penned the script. Scott’s original “Gladiator” collaborators, costume designer Janty Yates and production designer Arthur Max, are returning to the franchise. Scott Free President Michael Pruss, plus Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher via Red Wagon Entertainment, are producing.

The film is executive produced by Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald, Raymond Kirk, and Aidan Elliott.

“Gladiator II” star Mescal told Entertainment Weekly that he was shocked to learn that Lucius was the son of Maximus.

“Oh, absolutely. I was like, ‘Holy shit,'” Mescal said. “It’s an affronting thing to see it written on the page, and [to have] that responsibility fall on your shoulders is interesting. The screenplay does a lot of that work for you in terms of the rubbing the dirt between the hands, the kind of DNA, and the genetics that Lucius inherits.

So I kind of tried to park that to one side because ultimately, where Lucius is coming from at the start of the film, he has a very different journey than Maximus does. And I was hoping that whatever DNA and even just the physical gestures was going to be one part of, and a kind of small part of, the performance. But then what I tried to do is figure out exactly who Lucius was and where those differences lay between Lucius and Maximus.””

Mescal previously told Esquire that he was “stressed” about the sequel since it’s the “biggest” film he’s ever starred in. He added that director Scott “pays homage” to the first “Gladiator,” clearly with the Crowe reference.

“I can’t tell you how stressed I am talking about that film in particular, because it’s definitely the biggest one I’ve done,” Mescal said. “I feel really excited, but, like, it’s difficult to get away from the legacy of the film a bit. I think it’s really well written and it pays homage to the first one, but it’s very much something that I think I can step into and make comfortably my own.”

“Gladiator 2” premieres November 22 in theaters.
