A CBS Chicago reporter has claimed that an ICE agent fired a pepper ball at her truck outside a detention facility, prompting a criminal investigation by local police. Asal Rezaei reported the incident in Broadview, Illinois, on Sunday morning, saying there were no protests and no crowd activity at the time. In a police report, she said she was driving toward the facility’s 25th Avenue entrance with her window down when a masked agent inside the fence shot a pepper ball that struck her driver’s side panel. The impact released chemical agents into her vehicle. Rezaei said the powder burned her face and caused her to vomit after she exited her truck. “At this moment it’s not really clear why that officer took a shot at me. My car has been here several times, although I did not identify myself verbally as a member of the press,” she said in her coverage of the incident. “There were no protests going on. There was actually nobody there except one other person that was a member of a fire department.” Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills confirmed the investigation, calling it “an allegedly unprovoked attack” and pledged to seek cooperation from the Department of Homeland Security. Rezaei declined medical attention. DHS has been contacted for a response.
Succession star Kieran Culkin revealed that his wife, Jazz Charton, is pregnant with their third child, fulfilling a promise she made to him after he scooped up an Oscar earlier this year. While accepting an Academy Award for his role in A Real Pain back in March, Culkin, 42, shocked the crowd by revealing a promise his wife had made to him 12 months prior. “About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid,” he said, referring to his Emmy win for Succession. He then revealed that she later promised to give him a fourth if he ever won the coveted Oscar statuette, and signed off his speech by quipping, “Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith. No pressure, I love you, I’m really sorry I did this again, and let’s get cracking on those kids. What do you say?” Culkin appeared to quietly confirm the promise had been fulfilled while attending the theatre with his wife on Sunday, resting his hand on his wife’s visible baby bulge as the pair posed for pictures on the red carpet.

A stowaway has been found dead inside the landing gear of an American Airlines plane that arrived in the U.S. from Europe. The unidentified person was discovered by ground staff during maintenance checks conducted on Sept. 28. The jet had traveled from Europe to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, North Carolina, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said in a statement. The force did not reveal where the deadly journey had originated. Responders were called following the discovery, and the person was pronounced dead at the scene. The department’s homicide unit has launched an investigation. American Airlines said it was cooperating with authorities, according to ABC. Meanwhile, Charlotte Douglas International said, “We are deeply saddened by this news and will support the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s investigation as needed. Airport operations continue as normal.” Hiding around the wheels of planes is a common tactic among stowaways, but it is fraught with danger. A lack of pressurization and sub-zero temperatures make the chances of survival remote, according to the Flight Safety Foundation.
Pop superstar Ariana Grande has a question for American voters: Has life got any better since Donald Trump was returned to the White House? The singer reposted a list of questions to her 373 million Instagram followers first posted by podcast host and makeup artist Matt Bernstein. On his account @mattxiv, which has almost 2 million followers, Bernstein noted in a story that Trump had now been in office for 250 days. He wanted to know following ICE raids on immigrants, anti-trans commentary, and attacks on free speech, would Trump voters say their life had improved? “Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down?” Bernstein asked. “Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?” Grande, who endorsed Kamala Harris, is no stranger to sharing memes designed to rile MAGA. In June, the Wicked star reposted a photo of a sign that read, “Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing.” After Trump’s election victory last year, Grande made her own message, saying she was “holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today.” When Trump signed an executive order in January to recognize only male and female sexes, LGBTQ+ ally Grande posted a message that read, “Today is a tough day for our community. The incoming administration campaigned on attacking trans people’s lives, healthcare and dignity and we’re bracing ourselves for what these extremists will try to do next. No matter what comes, we will protect each other.”

Latin superstar Bad Bunny has been confirmed as the halftime entertainment for February’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California. The news was revealed during Sunday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. The announcement comes as the Puerto Rican rapper, 31, admitted he avoided touring the U.S. after ongoing ICE raids. In an interview with i-D magazine earlier this month, the rapper admitted that the move was due to his concern about his audience members. “Like, f—ing ICE could be outside [my concert],” the rapper said. “And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.” He added, “There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate–I’ve performed there many times.” This year Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL” music video featured a Trump-soundalike stating, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America… I want to say that this country is nothing without the immigrants.” The Grammy winner, who endorsed Kamala Harris last year, told Rolling Stone in January he was planning to use his platform as one of the most popular musicians in the world to discuss politics. “People are used to artists getting big and mainstream and not expressing themselves about these things, or if they do, talking about it in a super careful way,” he said. “But I’m going to talk, and whoever doesn’t like it doesn’t have to listen to me.” The February 8 Super Bowl show will take place between Bad Bunny’s tour dates in Santiago and Buenos Aires. Last year’s Super Bowl performer was rapper Kendrick Lamar, who was joined by guests including SZA and Serena Williams. Bad Bunny previously performed as part of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Super Bowl set in 2020. The new announcement shuts down persistent rumors from Taylor Swift fans that the pop superstar would get the nod in 2026.
A 27-year-old circus acrobat died on Saturday evening after falling 16 foot from a trapeze swing. Spanish acrobat Marina Barcelona was performing a solo trapeze act with the Paul Busch Circus in Bautzen, Germany, when she suddenly fell. Almost 100 people of all ages were in attendance at the show, and received support when emergency services found that Barcelona had died of her injuries on impact. Local police described that the professional was not wearing a safety rope, with spokesman Stefan Heiduck explaining, “She doesn’t have to. She decides for herself whether to use safety rope.” Meanwhile, the head of Germany‘s circus association theorized that Barcelona may have encountered a health issue. Ralf Huppertz said, “It’s unusual for a well-trained artist like Marina to not survive a fall from just five meters. Perhaps she got dizzy on the trapeze.” Barcelona had been in circus arts for over a decade and joined Paul Busch for the upcoming season—but the troupe announced that its next slate of shows are canceled due to the bereavement.

She is an angel.” The same night, Edge accused Pickler of attempting to kill him with a poisoned glass of Jim Beam, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The PGA of America has confirmed that Heather McMahan will not be returning to her role as master of ceremonies at the Ryder Cup. The actress and comedian was heard leading chants of “f–k you Rory” against professional golfer Rory McIlroy earlier this weekend. “Heather McMahan has extended an apology to Rory McIlroy and Ryder Cup Europe and has stepped down from hosting the first tee of the Ryder Cup,” the group said in a statement. The chants are understood to have first started on Saturday morning. McIlroy told fans to “shut the f–k up” after being heckled while trying to tee up a shot. “I don’t mind them having a go at us,” the Northern Irish professional golfer told reporters later in the day. “Like, that’s to be expected. I mean, that’s what an away Ryder Cup is. Whenever they are still doing it while you are over the ball and trying to hit your shot, that’s the tough thing.”

The state of Oregon filed a federal lawsuit on Sunday against Donald Trump and his administration, aiming to block the deployment of National Guard troops. The lawsuit came just hours after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced plans to deploy 200 members of Oregon’s National Guard into federal service for 60 days. The lawsuit claims such a move was “patently unlawful.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said Hegseth’s move “threatens to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry.” Trump claimed ICE agencies were “under siege” on Truth Social on Saturday, adding that he was planning to direct the Department of Defense to “provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland”. Rayfield claimed that it was “un-American” to use the U.S military against U.S. citizens at a press conference on Sunday. “I told our staff that the moment we got notice of a deployment I wanted to be in court with a lawsuit filed within 12 hours,” Rayfield said. “We have a lawsuit filed to protect Oregon and its values less than six hours from the moment we received notice.” Governor Tina Kotek posted on X that she had told Trump and Defense Secretary Kristi Noem that Oregon could ”manage our own local public safety needs. “There is no insurrection,” Kotek stated.
Music icon Dolly Parton has rescheduled a string of Vegas shows after revealing she is due to have surgery for unspecified “health challenges.” The 79-year-old revealed on Instagram that she has postponed six shows due to take place in December, with the dates now scheduled for 10 months later in September 2026. Parton kept her signature sense of humor when sharing the news with fans. “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” she posted on Sunday. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” The legendary singer said that due to the looming medical procedures, “I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show you deserve to see.” Parton revealed in September that she was suffering from a kidney stone infection that was causing her “a lot of problems.” The musician’s husband, Carl Dean, died in March at the age of 82. The pair were married for 58 years. Parton did reassure fans she has no plans to retire, with her 80th birthday looming in January. “Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she posted. “But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”
