A home security camera in Tarzana, Los Angeles, captured a coyote repeatedly confronting and driving off a bear from a residential driveway early Sunday morning, a scene the homeowner called unbelievable. Richard Hurwitz got the alert on his phone around 2:30 a.m. A bear had wandered onto the stone path leading to his driveway. What happened next played out like a nature documentary filmed in a suburban neighborhood. A coyote, the larger of two on the scene, charged toward the bear again and again, refusing to back down. The bear, outweighing the coyote many times over, eventually turned and fled to a nearby yard. Not a scratch on either animal, UPI reported . A second, smaller coyote watched the whole standoff from the road in front of…Open

Rosie O'Donnell publicly posted a photo and text messages exchanged with her incarcerated daughter Chelsea, offering a window into a relationship the comedian says went silent for a decade. O'Donnell, 64, shared the photo from a June reunion at Taycheedah Correctional Institution in Wisconsin, where Chelsea O'Donnell, 28, is serving an 18-month sentence after her probation was revoked last October.

The posts mark the latest step in a reconciliation that O'Donnell has described as long overdue. She told PageSix in July that the June visit "was the first…Open

Chris Hansen bought preshow ad space on every theater screen showing A24's Primetime, flipping a film he never agreed to watch into a marketing vehicle for his streaming platform, and his attorneys may not be far behind. The ad opens on a setting audiences will recognize: a nondescript suburban kitchen, the kind Hansen made famous during years of televised sting operations on To Catch a Predator. Hansen appears on screen, delivers his signature line, and then pivots, not to NBC, not to Dateline, but to TruBlu, his own streaming network. A QR code fills the screen. The message is clear: if the movie brought you here, Hansen wants you watching his version of the story next. The Hollywood Reporter first reported the ad buy, noting Hansen…Open

A 67-year-old Northern Virginia man is among as many as 90 Americans unaccounted for after flash floods destroyed a Himalayan border checkpoint, and his family says they have heard almost nothing from the governments involved.
