Two male suspects questioned over the Louvre heist have “partially” admitted to being involved in the brazen robbery, according to prosecutors. The men, a 34-year-old Algerian man and a 39-year-old French resident, entered the Louvre in what appears to be an effortless eight-minute robbery. The two previous criminal offenders, stole 88 million euros ($102 million) worth of jewels on Oct. 19 in broad daylight. The Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, is now under scrutiny for its subpar security, prompting the public to question the safety of its treasures. The museum’s security cameras expired in July and were not renewed. A $93 million revamp of the security system has long been promised, but “will not be finished before 2029–2030.” The two suspects were taken into custody this week after their DNA was identified. French law releases organized theft suspects after 96 hours if no charge is filed. The suspected robbers will remain in custody if they are prosecuted by Wednesday. No further information has been released about the details of the partial confession or whether the suspects have revealed what happened to the stolen items. A couple getting married at a Lord of the Rings movie set in New Zealand were left shocked when none other than Elijah Wood himself crashed the ceremony and walked down the aisle. Wood, 44, who plays Frodo Baggins in the blockbuster fantasy trilogy, was in town attending a local Comic Con and decided to check in at Hobbiton, a tourist attraction where a number of the film’s scenes were filmed. Upon arrival, he discovered a wedding between two LOTR superfans, Sharik and Jessica Burgess-Stride, was taking place, and after some encouragement from wedding photographer Cath Ullyet, he decided to crash the party. “We were just finishing the signing of the paperwork when all of a sudden Elijah Wood started to walk down the aisle,” Sharik told the Waikato Herald. “At first I thought, nah, that’s not him – then oh s---, it is him!” The groom, who included several Tolkien references in his vows, said the wedding had been a “perfect day,” and that his claim that the rainy weather had been a “sign of good luck” was proven correct when Wood walked through the door. “After the couple had finished signing, I rushed around to meet him and asked him to come and have a few photos with the couple,” Ullyet said. “Being the gentleman he is, he didn’t want to interfere, however, with some friendly encouragement he stepped in and was welcomed by all. Thank you Elijah for making their special day that much more memorable. We all loved it!” Scouted selects products independently.

An 80-year-old woman, who was found dead after failing to reboard a cruise during its first stop on a 60-day, $80,000 tour, reportedly fell off a cliff, sources told The Australian. The woman is believed to have been hiking to the highest point on Lizard Island in the Great Barrier Reef on Saturday when she reportedly became separated from the rest of the group. The ship departed without the woman and only returned later that day after the group realized she had not gotten back on board. The woman’s body was found early Sunday morning. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority confirmed it is investigating the incident, as new reports raise questions about safety protocols. “There was not a lot of time between when the last passengers left the beach to when they up anchored,” Traci Ayris, who listened to emergency radio transmissions sent from the Coral Expeditions vessel, told Cairns Post. “We even commented, ‘Wow, they left fast,’” she added. Queensland police said they are preparing a report on what they described as the “sudden and non-suspicious death” of the woman. Rosie O’Donnell’s 28-year-old daughter Chelsea has been sentenced to prison on drug charges after a judge revoked her probation. Chelsea O’Donnell’s six-year probation was revoked due to a probation violation that involved sexual assault allegations, according to an official from the treatment drug court who didn’t specify further. The official also noted that Chelsea had not shown significant progress in the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Program. Thanks to accounts from officials and “facts surrounding this request,” her drug treatment program had “sufficient grounds to warrant termination,” a court filing stated. Chelsea will be transferred to a Wisconsin medium-security prison called Taycheedah Correctional Institution for a sentence yet to be disclosed. “I have compassion for those struggling with addiction. Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her children,“ Rosie told Us Weekly. “we continue to love and support her through these horrible times. prayers welcomed.” Chelsea was initially on probation after three arrests in 2024 relating to drug charges and one involving child neglect. Part of her probation terms included staying out of trouble—something she struggled with leading up to her probation revocation. Scouted selects products independently.

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. Dictionary.com has announced that “67” is its newest Word of the Year. This year, teachers and parents have been left confused by kids and teenagers using the term “67,” pronounced “six-seven,” not to be mistaken for “sixty-seven.” The dictionary shared that some have considered it a synonym for “so-so,” “maybe this,” or “maybe that.” The newest word of the year has been traced to Skrilla’s viral 2024 song “Doot Doot (6 7).” Others connect it to the popular 6-foot-7-inch NBA player and social media sensation LaMelo Ball. Earlier this year, “The 67 Kid” went viral for shouting “67” as he celebrated at a basketball game. Many have used the term “brain rot” to describe the viral trend, which is “the deterioration of one’s mental or intellectual state as a result of over-consuming trivial or unchallenging content,” according to Oxford Press. The annual pick gives recognition to the “brain rot” popular among kids and teenagers. Dictionary.com explains the comical appeal of the term is it’s “purposefully nonsensical and all about being in on the absurdity.” “It’s part inside joke, part social signal, and part performance,” said Steve Johnson, Ph.D., of the Dictionary Media Group. @youtubeshortsjustforyou THE “6–7” MEME KID THAT STARTED IT ALL 😭🏀 #67Kid #Basketball #67 . .

This is where the “he’s not 6’7” but he believes he is energy began. It’s the intersection of NPC behavior, rizz delusion, and high school gymnasium chaos — a true cultural artifact.

The 100-foot-long plane lifted off from California’s Palmdale Regional Airport shortly after 10 a.m. local time. The X-59 was built by Lockheed Martin on behalf of NASA and is expected to reach speeds of 925 mph, well above the speed of sound. They hope it will be able to fly at an astonishing 55,000 feet, the altitude Concorde flew at, and far higher than commercial jets currently climb. On its maiden flight, the single-engine, delta-winged jet reached heights of around 12,000 feet and speeds of 230 mph, The Daily Mail reports. Now, experts hope they have a platform to build on, slowly cranking the dial to test its full potential. If all goes to plan, that potential could see flights from New York to London being completed in under four hours. It is also hoped it will have a quieter sonic boom. Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division vice president OJ Sanchez, said, “We are thrilled to achieve the first flight of the X-59. This aircraft is a testament to the innovation and expertise of our joint team, and we are proud to be at the forefront of quiet supersonic technology development.” Katy Perry’s latest blunder in the eyes of the internet was throwing her own birthday cake on the floor during a celebration on her current Lifetimes tour. On Tuesday, Perry shared a carousel on Instagram of pictures and videos taken around her 41st birthday on October 25th. In one video, Perry, still in her concert gear, attempts to throw a custom-made birthday cake at someone backstage at an arena. The person dodges the cake, letting it fall on the ground, while Perry is shown laughing. The video then cuts to a clip of a group of people, who appear to be Perry’s dancers for the tour, tasting the cake off the floor. X users have criticized Perry for wasting the cake. “Katy Perry’s team surprised her with a birthday cake and she straight up threw the whole thing at someone, wasting it all… this woman is actually pathetic,” one user wrote. Over the last year, Perry has faced multiple internet backlashes, from criticism of her music to her participation in an all-female space flight. A message in a bottle written by two Australian soldiers during World War I has washed ashore after spending over a century lost at sea. The bottle, which contains messages from Privates Malcom Neville, 28, and William Harley, 37, sees the two men pen cheerful notes just a few days after setting sail for the frontlines in France. Writing to his mother, Neville said his fellow troops were “happy as Larry” and praised the food on board the ship. Harley, addressing the note to whoever found the bottle, said they tossed the bottle overboard “somewhere in the Bight” off southern Australia. The bottle was discovered on Wharton Beach, Western Australia, by Deb Brown, who tracked down the two men’s families. Neville’s family said the discovery was “unbelievable,” with his niece recalling her uncle leaving for war and never returning. “It really does feel like a miracle, and we do very much feel like our grandfather has reached out for us from the grave,” Harley’s granddaughter Ann Turner told ABC.

If you’re looking for a way to level up cuffing season this fall, consider your search over. 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. Scientists have uncovered 30 new underwater species, including a carnivorous sponge nicknamed a “death ball.” The Ocean Census project is an alliance between research fund the Nippon Foundation and marine research charity Nekton. It took around 2,000 samples and hours of video footage from the Southern Ocean, one of the most remote places on Earth. The Guardian reports they found a host of previously unknown species, including a “sea star, new crustaceans including isopods and amphipods, and rare gastropods and bivalves.” The samples were verified at the Southern Ocean Species Discovery Workshop at Universidad de Magallanes, Punta Arenas, Chile. More possible new species are also being assessed. The “death sponge” is covered in tiny hooks used to catch its prey, a far cry from most sponges, which are passive filter feeders. The research sent probes to places almost entirely untouched by humans, including the South Sandwich Trench and the craters of underwater volcanoes. Dr Michelle Taylor, head of science at the alliance, said, “The Southern Ocean remains profoundly undersampled. To date, we have only assessed under 30% of the samples collected from this expedition, so confirming 30 new species already shows how much biodiversity is still undocumented.” Frankie Muniz, 39, has revealed why he hasn’t spoken to Hilary Duff, 38, in 22 years. The pair met as teen stars—with Muniz starring in Malcom in the Middle and Duff leading Lizzie McGuire—and became “really, really good friends,” leading Muniz to guest-star in Lizzie McGuire’s second season. While on set, he told The Joe Vulpis Podcast that Duff’s mom asked him what he planned on doing that summer. Muniz informed her of his plans to star in the movie Agent Cody Banks, to which she allegedly asked if the film had a female lead. Muniz said was hoping that Smallville star Kristin Kreuk would be cast as his onscreen love interest, Natalie Connors. However, by the next morning, Duff was cast, Muniz said. “I wasn’t thrilled about it and not because I didn’t want it to be Hilary,” he said, admitting that he was “very sad when Hilary’s mom would come on set.” He said he hadn’t spoken to Duff since Agent Cody Banks’ last day of filming. “I regret not just continuing to be friends with her because we had a great friendship for such a long time, and I let her mom… it pissed me off,” Muniz said. “I would love to catch up with her,” he added, explaining that Duff probably doesn’t know that any of this occurred.
