On September 12, Braun posted a birthday tribute for Sweeney's 29th birthday, calling her a true partner who makes him "smile harder, laugh louder, adventure more, and dream bigger." Additionally, the couple recently took a group vacation together at Lake Powell in Utah.

Sources report that Scooter Braun is determined to "lock the relationship down" and has been described as trying very hard to marry Sweeney. Reports suggest he planned to propose within six months and has been shown to follow her and charter private planes to stay focused on her.

The couple was spotted sitting in the back row of Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Jewish conversion is described as a process that is not quick, typically taking between one to four years. It requires rigorous study and the involvement of a sponsoring rabbi. Sweeney is currently in the considering stage and is not yet a finished convert.

The episodes air live on CBS. Paramount+ Premium subscribers can stream the episodes as they go, while other Paramount+ subscribers can watch them on demand the next day. Seasons 1 and 2 are also available for streaming on the Paramount+ platform.

The series is the brainchild of Sean Harmon, who is Mark Harmon's son and an executive producer on the show. Austin Stowell plays the younger version of Gibbs at Camp Pendleton in the early 1990s, while Mariel Molino continues her role as Special Agent Lala Dominguez, a colleague and complicated love interest of Gibbs.

Season 3 expands the footprint of the older Gibbs character, who had previously served as the present-day narrator. In the new season, the retired agent is pulled back into a case he touched 34 years earlier. The season features a storyline where the older Gibbs is shot in the first episode, though it is framed as a wound rather than a fatal outcome.

David J. North served as the showrunner on the original "NCIS" and currently runs "NCIS: Origins." He clarified that while Mark Harmon had discussed the possibility of the character being killed off at various times, there was never a point in the actual process where the network intended to kill the character.

These structures are often considered evolutionary leftovers that can spark pain, infection, and blocked airways in the modern world. For example, the appendix can cause life-threatening infections (appendicitis), the gallbladder can produce stones or infections, and tonsils can cause chronic swelling. In every case, data shows that humans can live healthy lives and continue daily activities after these structures are removed or if they never develop.

The palmaris longus is a muscle in the inner forearm that helps with wrist-flexion; as much as 25% of people are born without it, and its absence does not reduce strength. The plantaris is a thin muscle at the back of the lower leg; an estimated 7% to 16% of people are born without it. While some suggest the plantaris plays a role in balance or posture, many experts treat it as basically useless.

Around 5 million people get wisdom teeth removed each year if the teeth appear at all. About 20% of people never develop wisdom teeth. These third molars are framed as remnants from a time of tougher, uncooked diets and larger ancestral jaws; modern mouths often lack the space to accommodate them, leading to crowding, impaction, decay, and pain.

More than half a million tonsil removals are performed in the United States every year. Tonsils, which act like lymph nodes to filter germs, are often removed because they can stay chronically swollen or infected, or they may block the airway during sleep, causing snoring and disrupted rest, which particularly affects children. The body remains capable of fighting infection without them.

Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the film "full of itself" and "top-heavy with importance," while the New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski described the frame story as "pretentious" and noted a lack of stakes or laughs. The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney grouped it with "prestige wrecks" like Babylon and Amsterdam, and The Times gave it a one-star review, stating Cruise was the film's "sole selling point and its fatal flaw."

Tom Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, an eccentric oil tycoon billed as the world's most powerful man. The plot follows Rockwell as he unknowingly unleashes a catastrophic ecological disaster and subsequently scrambles to contain it.

Digger's $20 million opening was described as a "brutal start," with a Resident Evil title already two weeks into its release beating Digger's debut. Additionally, the thriller Verity, starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, led the box office with $32.6 million over the same weekend.

The film was directed by four-time Oscar winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The cast features Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, John Goodman as a dictatorial U.S. president, and supporting roles by Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, and Jesse Plemons.

Salaam’s complaint ties the conflict back to Will Smith’s attack on Chris Rock at the Oscars. Salaam claims the friendship soured when he refused to provide "crisis management" for Will Smith after that night. While Will Smith later apologized for the incident and stated his actions were based on his own history, Salaam alleges that his refusal to help with the aftermath triggered the retaliatory campaign and subsequent threats from the Smith family.

The defense motion requests a structured evaluation lasting approximately five to six hours (not counting breaks). The evaluation is intended to include a psychiatric interview, a mental status examination, and standardized psychological testing. The motion specifies that the exam will not include any physical examinations or any procedures that are painful, protracted, or intrusive.

Salaam claims that the stress caused by the Smiths' actions resulted in a 100-pound weight gain, high blood pressure, and Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, he alleges that he was forced to live outside of the United States for a year and a half because he feared for his safety, which resulted in losing day-to-day time with his children and the end of a long-term romantic relationship.

Bilaal Salaam, a musician who claims to have been friendly with Will Smith for four decades, alleges that the Smith family launched a "retaliatory campaign" against him after he refused to provide "crisis management" services following the March 2022 Oscars incident. Salaam claims he turned down the work because he believed the tasks would be illegal, unethical, or morally compromising. He further alleges that during a September 2021 gathering in Calabasas, California, Pinkett Smith became verbally aggressive and warned him that he could end up "missing, or catch a bullet" if he continued to speak about the family's personal business. He also claims she demanded he sign a non-disclosure agreement and that an associate later warned him to end the feud before he got physically hurt.

He is survived by his sons Jaron and Myles, his mother Vivian, his sisters Bernice and Misty, and his brother Kris. His sister, author Bernice McFadden, confirmed the news of his passing to The Hollywood Reporter.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, McFadden built his act in New York before moving to Los Angeles. He gained wider recognition in 1991 through HBO’s "Def Comedy Jam," which served as a launch pad for his national career.

While living in Tanzania, McFadden identified himself as the owner of Olduvai Records, which he described as a gold-mining and entertainment production company. In May 2025, he released an album titled "Enjoy, Vol. 1" through Olduvai Records.

McFadden appeared in the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," where he played Officer Burt, and the Fox series "In Living Color," appearing in 23 episodes during its final season. His other television credits include "Martin," "Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper," "Moesha," "Coach," and the sitcom "Getting Personal." He also appeared in the Adam Sandler comedy film "Little Nicky" and a "Comedy Central Presents" special.

Elk shed their antlers at the start of the year and grow a new set under velvet. By August, they rub the velvet covering off. By the fall, they use these fresh antlers to spar and guard territory during the rut season, which makes them more likely to react instinctually to perceived threats.

After a Change.org petition gathered nearly 5,000 signatures claiming the elk was "marked for execution" for defending itself, Superintendent Charles Sellars released a statement shutting down the rumor. He clarified that the park had no plans to euthanize the elk.

Park officials had issued warnings about mating-season dangers just two days before the incident. The established rules required visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from elk, not to stop in the road, not to pull over for a better look, and never to feed the animals. Moving into an elk's space is a violation of federal law.

The incident occurred during the "rut" or mating season, which runs from early September into late October. During this time, bull elk become territorial and use their antlers to spar and guard ground. Superintendent Charles Sellars stated that elk are wild animals that act on instinct to defend their territory when they sense a threat.

The footage serves as a reminder that bull elk are heavy, territorial animals with significant mass. The practical takeaway is to give large wildlife room, as the report notes that a parked car is cheaper to fix than a person who gets too close to the animals.

Online commenters reacted with various remarks, including one person stating it was just a Kansas driver and nothing of value was lost, another warning to stay clear during the rut season, and a third person joking about whether insurance would pay for the damages or if the driver could sue the elk.

The incident occurred in Estes Park, Colorado, a town well known for its elk population. While the specific time of the window smash is not provided, a separate report noted a bull elk with cows on S. St. Rain Avenue in Estes Park on Thursday, September 25, 2025.

A massive bull elk smashed the back right window of a vehicle in Estes Park, Colorado. The impact was described as having the force of an NFL linebacker crashing down on a running back, completely shattering the glass on the first try.

Reactions were split into two main camps. One group of fans welcomed the comeback, with some claiming Depp is "back at the top of his game" and even suggesting he might get an Oscar for the role. A second group focused on the marketing, questioning why the film was being sold as a rethink when the trailer appeared to show a faithful adaptation of the classic Dickens story.

Depp made his film debut in 1984 with "A Nightmare on Elm Street." He became a teen idol in "21 Jump Street" before taking a major turn in 1990 with "Edward Scissorhands." He also directed "Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness" and is set to star opposite Penélope Cruz in the upcoming thriller "Day Drinker."

Depp's path was shaped by high-profile legal battles with his ex-wife, Amber Heard. In 2020, he lost a U.K. libel case against The Sun. However, in 2022, a jury in a Virginia defamation trial found Heard liable for defaming Depp regarding her 2018 Washington Post op-ed. These courtroom results provided him a lane back toward major studio projects.

"Ebenezer" marks Depp's first major Hollywood studio film in years, following his 2023 French historical drama "Jeanne du Barry." His previous major studio success included the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, which earned him an Academy Award nomination, as well as "Edward Scissorhands," "Finding Neverland," and "Sweeney Todd."

The exhibit originally opened in September 2024 mirroring Joe Biden’s design, which included double layers of portraits over the fireplace. Following the 2024 election, the museum updated the room to reflect Trump’s first-term style, and subsequently performed a second-term overhaul to match the new gold treatment installed in the real Oval Office.

The exhibit includes the Resolute Desk, which was a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. Other furnishings include rugs from the Reagan era, gold draperies from the Clinton administration, and couches and chairs from the George W. Bush administration. The portraits on display include those of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Benjamin Franklin.

Beyond the rococo gold flourishes in the Oval Office, Trump paved a lawn near the Rose Garden for a patio reminiscent of Mar-a-Lago, lined the colonnade between the residence and West Wing with presidential portraits, and installed towering flagpoles on the North and South lawns. He also renovated the Palm Room and the Lincoln Bedroom bathroom, ordered the restoration of the North Portico front columns, and ordered the demolition of the East Wing for a $400 million ballroom.

The museum is run by the White House Historical Association, which was created by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961. The association receives no government funding and instead raises money through private donations and merchandise sales.
