The beloved "I Dream of Jeannie" star reassured fans she is not seriously ill after festival organizers described her last-minute withdrawal as a "sudden illness", a characterization Eden herself corrected within hours.

Michigan's last-second Hail Mary victory over Western Michigan has sparked a firestorm of "rigged" accusations from fans, and the Big Ten's own explanation may have raised more questions than it answered. Western Michigan players had already started celebrating. The stadium clock read zero. The Broncos, 27.5-point underdogs, appeared to have pulled off the biggest upset in Michigan football in nearly two decades. Then officials stepped in, put one second back on the clock, and gave the No. 16 Wolverines a second chance at a Hail Mary. Bryce Underwood launched a 47-yard strike to JJ Buchanan, and Michigan escaped with a 13-12 win at the Big House in Ann Arbor on September 6. The ruling turned on a single player: Western Michigan's Micah…Open

The organizers of science's quirkiest awards show moved their ceremony to Switzerland after declaring it "unsafe" for guests to visit America, but never specified what danger they had in mind. Ten research teams picked up Ig Nobel Prizes on Thursday at a convention center in Zurich for studies ranging from cockroach milk to the science of blowing your nose. The awards, handed out every year since 1991 by the magazine Annals of Improbable Research, honor genuine scientific work that "makes you laugh, then makes you think." For 35 consecutive years the ceremony called the United States home, rotating among Harvard, MIT, and Boston University. Not anymore. Master of ceremonies Marc Abrahams, who also edits the magazine, told The Associated…Open

A concertgoer on Kesha's Freedom Tour removed her dentures mid-show and handed them over, and the pop star's reaction, caught on video, is exactly what you'd expect. Kesha has built a reputation for wild fan interactions, but a recent stop on her Freedom Tour pushed even her limits. A fan in the front row pulled a set of dentures straight out of her mouth and offered them to the singer in the palm of her hand. Kesha, visibly rattled, picked them up between her thumb and forefinger, then gagged and dropped them. The moment, captured on video and posted to Kesha's TikTok account , spread quickly online. The Los Angeles-born pop star captioned the clip: "The Freedom Tour was feral. Love you, Animals!" The fan, noticeably missing teeth after…Open

Jamaica's government sent a delegation to London demanding Britain answer for the slave trade, and King Charles III refused to meet them, citing both scheduling and constitutional protocol. Jamaican culture minister Olivia Grange arrived in London in late August 2026 carrying a petition that asks a pointed set of questions: Was the forced transport of Africans to Jamaica illegal under English common law? Did it constitute crimes against humanity? And does Britain owe Jamaica a remedy? The petition, filed at Buckingham Palace, seeks referral of those three questions to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest appellate court for Commonwealth nations that still maintain legal ties to the United Kingdom. The reparations…Open

The family of convicted killer Karmelo Anthony wants donors to give another $250,000 for his murder appeal, even as basic questions about how the previous $634,000 in donations was spent remain unanswered. Two weeks after a Texas judge denied Anthony's bid for a new trial, his family and a six-lawyer legal team held a press conference in Dallas to announce the new crowdfunding campaign. The GiveSendGo page, titled the Karmelo Anthony Legal Fund, had already pulled in more than $30,000 by the time the Daily Mail reported on the effort. But when a reporter from NBC 5 asked how the hundreds of thousands raised before the trial were spent, the family's allies refused to answer. Anthony, now 19, is serving a 35-year prison sentence for…Open
