Rogelio “Roger” Nores, a close friend of Liam Payne who was one of the last people to see the former One Direction singer alive, believes that Payne’s death was the result of an “extremely unfortunate” series of events. Payne fell to his death from the third floor of a hotel he was staying at in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October, local police told CNN at the time. He was 31. Five people were charged in connection with Payne’s death in January, according to local prosecutors. Nores was one of those individuals, but his charges and those of two others have…

After at least eight auditions over two decades, “Jeopardy!” superfan Harvey Silikovitz learned last year that his dream was coming true: He was chosen to compete on the show. What he hadn’t anticipated was that his big chance would come as he was living with Parkinson’s disease. Silikovitz made his “Jeopardy!” debut on Monday, besting the 8-day champion Laura Faddah by winning $23,600 in a dominating game that, from the start, was a runaway. In that episode, he said that after living with Parkinson’s since 2019, coming onto “Jeopardy!” was “no longer just about wanting to do well for myself,…
DeKaylin “DK” Metcalf may have just been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there’s one thing he already has not fumbled. During a press conference Thursday, the wide receiver shared the news that he’s engaged to singer Normani. “Found a new home here, found a new fiancée and everything’s just falling in line, just the way God planned for it to be,” he reportedly said. The professional football player motioned to the singer and added, “She right there. Hold that rock up baby.” Metcalf explained that he had proposed while both of their families were recently together in Houston, Texas.…
Brenda Song is a devoted partner willing to go the extra mile in teaching her man how to adult. The “Suite Life of Zack & Cody” star visited the “Jennifer Hudson Show” on Friday, where she talked about her life with Macaulay Culkin, who she identified as “a very unique human, being the most famous child actor in the world” who didn’t know how to do laundry. “He lived and grew up in hotels,” Song, herself a child actor who starred on the Disney Channel, explained about the “Home Alone” star, who is her fiancé. “He had just never really…
Four decades into their journey as a band, Maná is still enjoying many firsts. Last month, they became the first ever Spanish-language rock band to be nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. In September, they will kick off their “Vivir Sin Aire” Tour, which will take them to cities they’ve never played before, like Montreal, Canada. In November, when they make their tour stops in Los Angeles, they will break a record currently held by Bruce Springsteen for most arena shows performed in Los Angeles history. (Their total of 44 will best Springsteen’s 42.) The Guadalajara-born band…
While most episodes of “The White Lotus” roughly follow one day of vacay for the hapless luxury travelers, episode 5 of the third season of this sprawling Mike White-created series lingers on the night of the Full Moon party in Thailand, with Saxon and Lochlan Ratliff getting dangerously close to some pretty icky territory. No one signed up for this game of spin the bottle. The Ratliff boys accompany Chloe and Chelsea – both solo, since ‘Gary’ had to stay home to “do something important,” and Rick headed to Bangkok for similarly nefarious-sounding reasons – to the party, where bucketloads…
Days after federal immigration agents showed up to Ranjani Srinivasan’s apartment – prompting her to leave the country out of fear she would be taken into custody – the student is disputing the Trump administration’s account of her story. Srinivasan, 37, an Indian national and Fulbright Scholarship recipient at Columbia University, says she is being targeted for exercising her right to free speech. Department of Homeland Security officials identified her last week as one of two more Columbia University students they targeted for immigration action as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on international students who participated in protests against…
Former U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, a long-serving New York Democrat who was the first woman to chair the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has died. She was 87. Lowey’s family, in a statement shared by the Westchester County Democratic Committee, said she died Saturday after battling metastatic breast cancer with the “same tenacity and strength that she fought throughout her 32-year career in Congress for women, children and families.” The family said she passed away peacefully in her home in Harrison, New York, surrounded by her husband, children and grandchildren. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who served with Lowey in Congress,…
A Rhode Island doctor who is an assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported to Lebanon even though a judge had issued an order blocking the US visa holder’s immediate removal from the country, according to court papers. The expulsion of Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, is set to be the focus of a hearing on Monday before a federal judge in Boston, who on Sunday demanded information on whether US Customs and Border Protection had “willfully” disobeyed his order. US District Judge Leo Sorokin, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, said he had received a “detailed…
After undergoing surgery, Ashton Colby was confined to bed and couldn’t move his arms or carry out basic tasks. But his father Rick Colby was there every step of the way, helping him recover from his top surgery – support that meant the world from his conservative Republican father after Ashton came out as transgender and underwent the operation. Surgery is an option that some, but not all, trans people choose as a part of the broader gender-affirming care they may receive to help them with their transition. Ashton was 19 at the time. “He was there in the hotel…
