Jennifer Lawrence revealed a Miss Piggy movie is in the works with some notable names attached. The Oscar-winning actress shared the news with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang during Wednesday’s episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, saying, “I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just gonna: Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole [Escola] is writing it.” Lawrence let the news slip after discussing the Broadway production of Oh, Mary!, which was written and originally performed by Escola. She said she thinks that her and Stone will most likely appear in the film as well, adding that, “I feel like we have to.” Rogers said, “You guys haven’t done a movie together and that’s robbery to us.” “It’s f---ed up. It’s like really dark,” Lawrence responded. She also put to rest rumors that her and Stone were set to appear together in a potential reboot of Death Becomes Her, dismissing it as “fancasting.” The Motion Picture Association has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Instagram’s parent company Meta over the social network’s use of the “PG-13” label for teen accounts. The MPA says that Meta’s description of teen content as “similar to what you’d see in a PG-13 movie” is “literally false and highly misleading.” The trade body argues its rating system is official and built on a curated process, while Meta’s teen filtering relies on automated tools rather than the MPA’s ratings board. Meta says it never claimed the designation was MPA-certified, and that its use of the familiar term falls under fair use. Instagram announced the teen content change earlier this year, saying it wanted to align with what parents already understand by a PG-13 rating. That move came after a software “bug” caused graphic and violent videos to appear in Reels feeds and amid years of public outcry over the platform’s record for exposing young users to harmful content. The MPA wrote in it’s letter that any “dissatisfaction with Meta’s automated classification will inevitably cause the public to question the integrity of the MPA’s rating system.” KitchenAid is one of the most trusted names in cookware, with millions of home chefs relying on the brand to support their culinary efforts (and millions more with its products on their wishlists).

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she’ll be filing criminal charges against a man who sexually harassed her while she was chatting with citizens of Mexico City. The man approached her during a walk between government buildings, attempting an unwanted kiss and making physical contact with the leader. The incident, captured on video and widely shared online, shows Sheinbaum maintaining composure as her team intervened. She has since framed the incident not solely as an attack on her but as emblematic of the street-harassment experienced by countless women across Mexico. “If they do this to the president, what happens to all the women in the country?” she said. “I have experienced it before, when I wasn’t president, when I was a student,” adding that the assault will not discourage her from engaging with the public again in future. “No man has the right to violate that space,” Sheinbaum went on. Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada confirmed that the man who groped Mexico’s president has been arrested. Japan is deploying its military amid a flurry of deadly bear attacks in its mountainous regions. The country has seen a record number of attacks, with 100 people injured and 12 killed since April, according to an Environment Ministry report. The attacks have now reached their highest rate in a fiscal year since 2006, with incidents reported almost every day. In a bid to quell the attacks, Japan’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday deployed troops in the Akita prefecture, in the north of Japan’s main island, Honshu. An agreement was reached between officials from the prefecture and the Defense Ministry for troops to assist hunters. CBS reports they will be tasked with transporting hunters, removing slain bears, and laying baited box traps. They will not be using guns. Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Fumitoshi Sato said, “Every day, bears intrude into residential areas in the region and their impact is expanding. Responses to the bear problem are an urgent matter.” Japan’s aging population has left more space for the bears to expand into. As settlements have quietened, the bears have moved in. Reports of attacks have included some inside people’s garages and urban environments, not just out in forests. Scouted selects products independently.

That means it isn’t always easy to come down to zero (or even a 10, for that matter) after a long day of work... or even just watching the news. That struggle inspired Nordic furniture company, Stressless, to mark its first foray into zero-gravity seating. The Stressless Adam recliner is the perfect combination of function and style. The concept is based on NASA’s findings that in a weightless environment, the body naturally floats in a relaxed, neutral position with minimal stress on muscles and joints. Stressless® Adam Inspired by the nature and elements of the Norwegian landscape, this recliner creates a place to disconnect from your surroundings—to rest, recover, and fully recharge. Each Stressless piece is assembled by hand, with the aid of the most sophisticated technology available in furniture manufacturing. It is the latest evolution of Stressless’ main goal: to create the most comfortable seating experience ever.

Pop star Tate McRae is fighting back after fans accused her of lip-syncing thanks to a viral video highlighting an on-stage microphone malfunction at her Austin, Texas, show. After wrapping up a dance break on her Little Miss Possessive tour on Oct. 31, McRae brought the microphone to her lips and began singing her song “2 Hands,” however, the microphone was upside down. The “Sports Car” singer, 22, quickly realized the mistake and fixed the microphone’s position; however, a track of the song played even when the singer was singing into the bottom of the microphone. The incident caused some fans on X to claim that McRae was lip-syncing: “Tate McRae caught lipsync (sic) during her show. Many fans are question (sic) if she ever sang live since the beginning of her career.” Others came to the pop star’s defense, arguing that the track heard in the viral video was just a backing track: “When she flips the mic around, you can hear her voice. It’s just that a backing track is there. Not lipsyncing.” Four days after the incident, McRae posted a TikTok of her singing “Purple Lace Bra,” captioning the video “Cuz apparently I don’t sing in my shows :)”. @abcnews Pop star Tate McRae had an awkward moment at a concert in Austin, Texas, when she was captured singing into the wrong end of a microphone.#abcnews #news ♬ original sound - ABC News - ABC News In a dramatic act of solidarity, Miss Universe contestants staged a mass walkout from a pageant event in Thailand on Monday after an event official “publicly humiliated” Miss Mexico. The incident, which was captured on a live stream, saw pageant director Nawat Itsaragrisil admonish Mexican contestant Fátima Bosch in front of her peers, calling her “dumb” and bragging about his power over her, before ordering security to remove her from the building when she said the director was “not respecting me as a woman.” The move prompted fury amongst the other contestants, who immediately rose from their seats and walked out of the room in solidarity with Bosch, while the director threatened consequences for anyone who left. “This is about women’s rights,” said reigning Miss Universe Victoria Theilvig, from Denmark, regarding the incident. ”To trash another girl—it’s beyond disrespectful and it’s nothing I’ve ever done. That’s why I’m taking my coat and I’m going.” Fans hailed the move as “the most empowering act in Miss Universe history” and praised both Bosch and Theilvig for their courage and integrity. Raul Rocha Cantu, president of the Miss Universe Organization, issued a statement condemning Itsaragrisil for his “public humiliation” of Bosch, and said he is considering legal measures against the director. An investigation into the daytime heist at the Louvre revealed that cybersecurity issues had plagued the French museum for years. A 2014 audit flagged weak passwords and outdated software in the museum that houses the Mona Lisa. Documents reviewed by CheckNews show that France’s National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) was able to access the museum’s video surveillance using a very easy password: “LOUVRE.” The Daily Beast has contacted the Louvre for comment. On Oct. 19, robbers climbed a ladder at around 9:30 a.m. local time, broke a window, and stole jewels valued at more than $100 million. French authorities say that three out of the four alleged suspects are now in custody, and seven arrests have been made in the case. Paris public prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Sunday that one suspect remains at large. The jewels, which French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez described as having “an inestimable heritage value,” have not yet been recovered. France’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati acknowledged “security gaps” at the museum and announced that the Louvre will install streetside anti-ramming and anti-intrusion devices within the next two months. Former USC player and NFL linebacker Keith Browner Sr. has died suddenly at the age of 63, TMZ reported. He passed away in San Leandro, California, according to his son, Keith Browner Jr. The publication reported that while the cause of death was unclear at this stage, it appeared Browner suffered a heart attack. Browner’s career saw him play in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Raiders, and the San Francisco 49ers between 1984 and 1988, then switching to arena football from 1990 to 1997. TMZ reported Browner Jr. saying his father had stomach issues on Monday night and was vomiting, and planned to go to the hospital on Tuesday morning. He is survived by his five children, Keith Jr., and daughters Keicha, Amber, Ashley, and Jordan. His son also became a defensive end in the NFL, playing for the Houston Texans.

The Russian president has ordered his generals to begin testing nuclear weapons in the wake of rhetoric from President Donald Trump. The autocrat insisted his country resume its program after more than three decades of not detonating a nuclear weapon. It comes as Trump announced he wanted his generals to “start testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis.” Putin’s televised Security Council meeting with his top brass in Moscow saw him discuss Russia’s own escalation to regain parity with the U.S., NBC reports. The U.S. had been warned that if it “conduct[s] such tests, Russia would also be required to take appropriate retaliatory measures,” he said. He then told his leaders “to do everything possible to gather additional information on this matter, analyze it in the Security Council, and submit coordinated proposals on the possible commencement of preparations for nuclear weapons testing.” Several of Putin’s top officials are reportedly in favor of resumption. “We must respond appropriately to Washington’s actions… to begin preparations for full-scale nuclear testing immediately, ” said Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. On Sunday, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News, “These are not nuclear explosions.” “I’m saying that we’re going to test nuclear weapons like other countries do, yes,” Trump had said previously. “Russia’s testing, and China’s testing, but they don’t talk about it.” Three astronauts due to fly home after six months in space will have to remain there indefinitely because their ship is feared to have suffered damage. Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie had already done the handover to a new crew on China’s Tiangong space station when they learned they wouldn’t be going anywhere, CNN reports. Their ride home may be compromised after the Shenzhou-20 spaceship they were due to return on was suspected of being hit in a collision. The delay was confirmed on Wednesday by China’s National Space Administration. What the impact was caused by, and the timeline for bringing them home remains unknown. China’s space agency said in a statement, “The impact analysis and risk assessment are underway.” China is taking strides to further its space program and has just launched its new rocket, Shenzhou-21. Chen, Chen, and Wang had taken off from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in April. It comes just months after NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were finally brought home after nine months on the International Space Station in March.
