Daily Mail reported Brown left the courthouse in a dark hood and black mask after the postponement, with the underlying charge still tied to a May 2025 shooting outside a boxing event in Florida.

A new Tom Brady biography brands the long-running story of his split from a pregnant Bridget Moynahan as “fiction”, and still shows a timeline that barely works in his favor. Page Six reports that biographer Lars Anderson takes direct aim at the old gossip script in his book “Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness,” which hit shelves as the coverage landed. Anderson told Us Weekly that after “the math,” the timeline “barely works in Tom’s favor.” He still called the widespread narrative “fiction.” That matters because the public version of this breakup has followed Brady for years. The book does not erase the mess. It tries to pin down the order of events. December 2006, then a Paris phone call Brady and…Open

Roughly a year after One Battle After Another hit screens, visitors still stream into Murphy’s Market in Cutten, California, looking for the telephone from a chaotic Leonardo DiCaprio scene. NY Post reporting on the fan traffic makes one point plain: the phone is gone because it was never the store’s to begin with. Employees now spend part of their shifts explaining Hollywood basics to people who shopped there for milk long before the cameras arrived.

Why are fans visiting Murphy’s Market to look for a pay phone that is no longer there?

AXIOS (Madison Mills) - Google unveils long-awaited Gemini 4

Google is unveiling its long-awaited next-generation AI model, Gemini 4 Argon, to a small group of cybersecurity partners, the company said Wednesday. Why it matters: Gemini 4 arrives after a long gap at the top of Google's model lineup, in which the company kept rolling out smaller, cheaper Flash models while rivals OpenAI and Anthropic sprinted forward. State of play: Google says Gemini 4 Argon is built to handle complex, long-running tasks in software engineering, finance, legal work and cybersecurity. - Google said the new model is state of the art on certain coding and knowledge work benchmarks, outperforming competing OpenAI frontier model GPT-6 Astra on several. - The company is rolling the model out only to a group of trusted…

What safety concerns have been reported regarding other AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic?

Gemini 4 arrives nearly a year after the previous flagship, Gemini 3. While Google CEO Sundar Pichai had previously suggested a June release for a model expected to be Gemini 3.5 Pro, it never arrived. An Axios report from July suggested that poor morale among Google DeepMind employees was part of the reason for the delay.
