A Black producer who worked for a CBS News show that was canceled on Wednesday said that every producer on his team who was laid off is a person of color, whereas the white producers are being reassigned within the company. Trey Sherman had worked since February as a full-time associate producer at the streaming show CBS Evening News Plus. He was fired Wednesday after the network’s new anti-woke editor in chief, Bari Weiss, announced CBS was canceling several shows, axing its race and culture unit, and laying off dozens of staff members. Sherman said in a video posted to TikTok that he had asked if it was possible to be relocated within the network despite his show being canceled. He was told that his bosses had advocated to keep him and his colleagues at the network, but that it hadn’t been possible. “It wasn’t until I went downstairs, thinking me and all of my colleagues had been laid off, that I found out it was only people of color,” he said. The Daily Beast has reached out to both Sherman and CBS News for comment. Anca Faur, Buzz Aldrin’s fourth wife, died on Tuesday from a rare and aggressive form of cancer at the age of 66. Bobby Charles, who attended the couple’s wedding two years ago, confirmed Anca’s battle with cancer to People. She died alongside Aldrin and her son, Vlad Ghenciu, according to the Faur and Aldrin families’ Facebook. Faur, a well-accomplished engineer, married Aldrin just two years ago after meeting at a work event in 2017. Aldrin, the second astronaut to walk on the moon, said, “I am so fortunate to have found and married the love of my life.” He continued, “She brought joy to everything we did together. I will miss her dearly.” Faur was an accomplished scientist, completing a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. She also held the title of Executive Vice President of Buzz Aldrin Ventures. In addition, she served as treasurer for the California Hydrogen Business Council and had a nearly 20-year career at Johnson Matthey, a chemical and sustainable technology provider. Aldrin was first married to Joan Archer from 1954-1974, with the couple having three children, James, Janice and Andrew. He then married his second wife, Beverly Van Zile, from 1975 to 1978 and his third wife, Lois Driggs Cannon, from 1988 to 2013. Scouted selects products independently.

Womanizer’s new Next Duo is here to heat things up—whether you’re flying solo or spending the season with your S.O. The dual stimulator features the brand’s next-gen 3D Pleasure Air technology combined with deep G-spot vibrations, all engineered to deliver blended orgasms (that’s clitoral and vaginal stimulation happening at the same time). “Blended orgasms are unique because they activate different nerve pathways simultaneously,” explains Elisabeth Neumann, Sexologist and Head of User Research at Womanizer. “The outer clitoris and the vagina send signals through partly separate pleasure routes to the brain. This parallel activation leads to overlapping but distinct patterns of arousal. Many people describe the resulting sensations as deeper, longer-lasting, and more full-body than those from single-point stimulation.” Womanizer Next Duo Dual Stimulator Womanizer is calling the Next Duo its most innovative product yet—and testers agree. In trials, 97 percent of participants said they were more likely to reach a blended orgasm with the Next Duo than with any other toy. Even better, 91 percent reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less stressed afterward. Considering that some studies show orgasms release endorphins and lower cortisol, think of this as your new go-to for pleasure and stress relief. After all, fall and winter are the perfect time to invest in your sexual wellness routine—and the Next Duo might just become the highlight of cuffing season. Maria Riva, the daughter of famous actress Marlene Dietrich, has died at 100, just before her 101st birthday on Dec. 13. The actress died of natural causes in her sleep at her son’s New Mexico residence on Oct. 29. Riva, a two-time best actress Emmy nominee, was the daughter of Dietrich and director Rudolf Sieber. The couple had a high-profile affair, later ending their romance but remaining friends. After her mother’s death from kidney failure in 1992, Riva published a biography recounting their tumultuous relationship. “I don’t use the word ‘mother’ for Dietrich,” she told People in 1993; explaining that the word “implies love shown to one person,” which she believed did not fit Dietrich. She described her as cold and self-centered. Despite their rocky bond, Riva co-authored a book honoring her mother with unseen photos and Dietrich’s poetry. As a child, she didn’t attend school because her mother wanted her nearby, wearing a uniform labeled “attendant to Miss Marlene Dietrich.” Living in her mother’s shadow, she befriended celebrities like Rosemary Kennedy and began acting in her mother’s films. After a brief marriage to Dean Goodman at 18, she moved to New York to teach at Fordham University, later marrying William Riva and raising four sons. Former child actor Floyd Roger Myers Jr. has died at the age of 42, TMZ reports. Myers’s mother, Renee Trice, told TMZ that he died at home on Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack, having had three other heart attacks over the past three years. Myers made his onscreen debut in 1992, playing Young Will in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He went on to play Marlon Jackson in the limited ABC series The Jacksons: An American Dream, appearing alongside Angela Bassett, Billy Dee Williams and Vanessa Williams. Myers’s final acting role was in 2000, in the WB soap Young Americans. Since leaving Hollywood, he had co-founded the Fellaship Mens Group, a nonprofit dedicated to men’s mental health. The group paid tribute to Myers in an Instagram post, writing, “RIP to our good brother @rocwonder one of our co founders. Gone but never will be forgotten. The mission will continue in your honor. Next men’s meeting will be one for the books like we talked about! Love you bro, rest easy, big bro will take it from here.” Traditional smoking and vaping can be messy, undesirable, and inconvenient. What if you don’t have a lighter or your vape isn’t charged?

President Donald Trump’s surgeon general appointee went into labor on the same day she was set to be questioned in a confirmation hearing, which has been postponed indefinitely. The delay of Casey Means’ hearing, first reported by Politico, prolongs the vacancy for “America’s top doctor,” which has remained unfilled longer than other high-profile jobs in the administration. The doctor-turned-influencer, whose state medical license was placed on inactive status in January, has been a key figure in Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement. The 38-year-old was scheduled to testify before the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Thursday, five months after Trump nominated her. She was expected to face tough questions from Democrats about her views on vaccines and other MAHA issues that contrast with traditional medicine. Means was not Trump’s first choice for the gig. Her nomination followed the White House’s withdrawal of its first nominee, Janette Nesheiwat, due to concerns about her credentials. Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer claimed credit in May for Nesheiwat’s appointment being pulled at the last second. Five more people were arrested on Thursday over the daylight Louvre heist, including one suspect tied by DNA, the Paris prosecutor told the Associated Press. Three of the four alleged jewelry thieves are now in custody, authorities said. There have been seven arrests in total from late-night operations in Paris and nearby Seine-Saint-Denis. Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the response was an “exceptional mobilization,” with 100 investigators working seven days a week, analyzing roughly 150 forensic samples, and 189 items sealed as evidence. The arrests have yet to uncover the jewels worth around $102 million, she said. Only Empress Eugénie’s crown has been recovered after being dropped during the escape. It’s reportedly damaged but fixable. Two men, aged 34 and 39, were charged on Wednesday after spending nearly four days in custody. The suspects, who are from Aubervilliers, which is north of Paris, are accused of theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy. One of the suspects had a one-way ticket to Algeria before he was stopped at Charles de Gaulle Airport. His DNA matched that found on the scooter used in the getaway. The prosecutor said both “partially admitted” their involvement. Six Florida nudists have been arrested after allegedly getting naked on the wrong beach. St Lucie County Sheriff’s Office responded to “numerous complaints regarding unauthorized nudity” in the Little Mud Boat Ramp in Fort Pierce on Oct. 25. Charges of Exposure of Sexual Organs and Indecent Exposure were brought against Daniel Harrisson, Donald Knapp, Gaetane Lambert, Steven Marhenke, Elmer Quandt, and Nicolas Ramos. It comes as a nearby designated nudist zone, Blind Creek Beach, undergoes maintenance, according to 12 News. Authorities say the disruption caused by the works is not a justification for the spread of nudity to other areas, such as Little Mud Creek Beach, about one mile north. “While the ongoing Blind Creek Beach renovation project may be a temporary inconvenience to beach goers, it does not permit the use of undesignated public areas as extensions of the designated nude-optional beach,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “Some visitors have attempted to relocate north of the permitted area, prompting an increase in calls from concerned residents and visitors.” DEPUTIES ADDRESS NUDITY COMPLAINTS AT LITTLE MUD BOAT RAMP AND BLIND CREEK BEACH AREA The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s... Posted by St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday 29 October 2025 Four-time Grammy Award winner Gloria Estefan says some things in Donald Trump’s America are now just like Fidel Castro’s Cuba. The “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” icon said she knows people who have been “taken away” as part of Trump’s immigration crackdown. The Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient even said she carries her passport with her just in case she runs into any trouble of her own. The 68-year-old “Conga” singer told The Times, “I have lived in the U.S. for 66 years—never have I seen freedoms being eroded in the way they are now.” She said, “I know people who are in the country legally and have been taken away.” One “had been in the U.S. for 25 years, came in with a visa, paid taxes. In her last appointment at immigration, she got carried away and has been at a detention center for five months.” Estefan, who fled from Castro’s Cuba more than six decades ago, said: “I carry my passport card around just in case, because who knows what can happen. I was born in Cuba—that’s why we’re so wary of what’s happening, because this is the way things happened there... When we’re out with the family, it’s very natural to speak Spanish.” Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission. Until I started bleaching my naturally brunette mane, I never experienced much hair loss or shedding. Aside from the occasional split end (my hair is fine but abundant—read: constantly tangled), hair loss wasn’t something I had to think about. This all changed during the early days of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Armed with our beauty editor credentials and far too much confidence, my friend and I decided to DIY our own highlights in her apartment. We headed to Sally Beauty in our face masks, secured the supplies, and watched YouTube videos on proper highlighting techniques before attempting it ourselves. Spoiler alert: it was a terrible idea. I traded my “money piece” highlights for uneven breakage that looked like accidental curtain bangs. Fast-forward to 2024, and I decided it was time to do something about the breakage if I wanted to continue to be a blonde. While editing a writer’s story about rosemary oil’s potential to combat thinning hair, I stumbled across Nécessaire’s new rosemary collection and decided it was a good time to try the brand’s Rosemary Multi-Protein Shampoo. Frankly, the scent alone is reason enough to repurchase (if they bottled it as a perfume, I’d wear it daily), but it’s the results that won me over. Nécessaire Multi-Protein Rosemary Shampoo Within a couple of weeks, the bleach-damaged pieces around my hairline started to feel stronger. After a month, I noticed new growth—something I hadn’t seen since 2019. The formula pairs rosemary oil and plant-derived surfactants with a “micro-dose of Capixyl,” an anti-thinning peptide complex formulated to reduce shedding and promote density. While the research on rosemary oil’s effectiveness for treating hair loss is still mixed, anecdotally, I’m impressed. After a year of using the Rosemary Multi-Protein Shampoo, my strands look healthier, my hairline feels fuller, and I’m finally seeing progress after years of damage control. I can finally get face-framing highlights again without risk of my hair falling out. Whether you’re dealing with damage from hair coloring, heat styling, or other things like stress and genetics, Nécessaire’s Rosemary Multi-Protein Shampoo is a great place to start. A man has been hospitalized following a shooting involving an ICE officer. Jose Garcia-Sorto, who is from Honduras, was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in north Phoenix at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. He initially stopped his car, but pulled away as ICE officers approached his vehicle. “As the vehicle abruptly began speeding away, an officer was in the path of the vehicle,” police officials said in a statement. “Fearing for his life, the officer defensively discharged his service weapon two times, striking Garcia-Sorto’s vehicle.” Garcia-Sorto was taken to a nearby hospital, where he is now in a stable condition. The ICE officer who shot him was also hospitalized. The DHS said Garcia-Sorto was in America illegally. The police statement did not clarify if the ICE officer was struck by the vehicle or if Garcia-Sorto was shot when the officer fired at his car. The Phoenix FBI has now opened an assault on a federal officer case. The iconic pink restaurant purchased by the creators of South Park will be empty for Halloween. Staff at Casa Bonita in Lakewood, Colorado, will go on strike starting Thursday morning after management “walked away from the bargaining table” during contract negotiations, according to employees. The Mexican restaurant, founded in 1974, is a venerated institution recognized as an official landmark by the Lakewood Historical Society. Casa Bonita became even more popular after it was featured on an episode of South Park in 2004. The show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, purchased the establishment in 2021. Lead negotiator Andrea Hoeschen with the Actors’ Equity Association said restaurant management offered only 11 cents more over their last wage offer and proposed little protection against future layoffs. “Despite that insult, the negotiating team responded with major compromises to try to get a deal. And then Casa Bonita walked away from the table without responding,” she said. “‘Casa Boo-nita’ will be dressed as an empty pink building for Halloween!” The Daily Beast has reached out to Stone and Parker’s representative for comment.
