Former child beauty pageant contestant Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is recovering following a car accident. The 20-year-old nursing student was pulling out of her driveway in Denver, Colorado, on Friday when she was “T-boned” by an allegedly inattentive driver. Her mother, “Mama” June Stroud, shared the news in an Instagram post in which she said that Thompson was “banged up” in the incident. “Somebody actually wasn’t paying attention and T-boned her on her road,” Stroud said. “She is banged up a little bit, but other than that, she is OK,” Stroud added in the caption to her video. Thompson is currently living in Denver and attending Regis University, where she is studying neonatal care. Thompson rose to fame at the age of 6 when she captivated audiences during an appearance on the reality TV show Toddlers & Tiaras. Her precocious personality landed her a spinoff, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which ran for four seasons between 2012 and 2017. Stroud, who continues to appear alongside her daughter in her own reality show, Mama June: Family Crisis, noted that this was Thompson’s “first car wreck.”
Jenna Bush Hager has opened up about the cause of some of her most vicious spats with her father, President George W. Bush. “My dad would sit with me at that kitchen table and try to teach me math, and we’d get in big fights and I’d cry myself to sleep,” the 43-year-old former first daughter, now a TV host, told viewers of her NBC show Today With Jenna & Friends. “There was a period of time when I made bad grades,” she added. Co-host Sheinelle Jones said conflict with parents over academic performance was “relatable,” and something she assumes is likely all too easy to find at “kitchen tables all over this country at night.” Any familial hostilities presumably pre-date the senior Bush’s tenure in the Oval Office, given Jenna would have been 19 years old and an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin when the former Republican president first took the White House back in 2001.

A stampede at a rally Saturday for an Indian actor-turned-politician killed at least 36 people and injured 40 others in southern India, per the state’s health minister. Eight children were among those killed Health Minister Ma Subramanian, told The Associated Press. Tens of thousands attended the rally for Vijay in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The victims were deceased by the time they were transported to a hospital, the minister said. Vijay, who launched his own political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), last year, arrived hours late to a rally held outdoors in extremely hot temperatures, officials said. Subramanian has ordered an investigation into the tragedy. Vijay’s speech continued as at least 30 people fainted and were rushed to the hospital by ambulance, officials told the Press Trust of India. After a brief halt, he eventually ended it after discerning an issue in a section of the crowd, the news agency said. “My heart is shattered,” he posted on X. “I am writhing in unbearable, indescribable pain and sorrow that words cannot express.” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the “unfortunate incident” was “deeply saddening.”
Fuming golf superstar Rory McIlroy silenced some chatty Americans with a few fiery words at the 2025 Ryder Cup at the Bethpage Black golf course on Saturday. The Northern Irishman was preparing to hit the ball on the 16th fairway when several onlookers at the Long Island event started shouting nearby, prompting McIlroy to screech, “Guys, shut the f*** up!’”The reigning Masters champion went on to immediately land a shot that won him the match. It wasn’t the first time McIlroy was already fed up with the crowd at the tournament, reportedly giving the middle finger to fans on day one. “I don’t mind them having a go at us. Like that’s to be expected,” McIlroy said, according to Golfweek. He added, “Whenever they are still doing it while you are over the ball and trying to hit your shot, that’s the tough thing.” So far, the tournament has been quite eventful. President Donald Trump attended the world-famous tournament on Friday with his granddaughter Kai.

Republican Gubernatorial hopeful Bill Berrien had been in the running to become Wisconsin’s next leader, before the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on the former Navy seal’s apparent enthusiasm for adult content creators on Medium, of all places. Among the accounts Berrien followed was one belonging to Jiz Lee, an influential queer pornstar who was born a woman but uses they/them pronouns. Berrien’s since pulled out of the race, issuing a lengthy statement in which he said it was “in the best interest of the party, voters, donors, and my family” that he’s now “decided to end my campaign,” adding somewhat bizarrely he had “no idea that running for political office could be almost as dangerous [as] hunting down war criminals in Bosnia.” His withdrawal bears certain similarity to the controversy surrounding former GOP lieutenant governor of North Carolina Mark Robinson, who was exposed last year for frequenting transgender porn sites, as well as identifying online as a “Black Nazi” and expressing support for slavery as something that should be “brought back.”
President Trump‘s most hated late-night TV darlings, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, are set to join forces in a matter of days for a live show. Both stars’ careers have faced major road bumps this summer, with Colbert’s show axed and given a final date of May 2026. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel Live! only just returned to the air on Tuesday, after ABC’s parent company Disney suspended the show for almost a week following the host’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s killer. Kimmel is now packing his bags and heading to his native New York for a week from September 29. Colbert has been a vocal supporter of Kimmel in recent weeks, and his Brooklyn appearance will offer the hosting duo a chance to speak face-to-face about the targeting of the late-night shows. Also on the guest list to join Kimmel at the Brooklyn Academy of Music are big names including Tom Hanks, Ryan Reynolds, Emily Blunt, Jeremy Allen White, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Director Spike Lee will also be in the hot seat, alongside musical legend Bruce Springsteen.
Indonesian gymnast Naufal Takdir Al Bari, who was projected to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, has died after sustaining a critical injury at a training camp in Russia. 19-year-old Al Bari injured his neck after landing awkwardly in a foam pit while attempting a skill on the horizontal high bars, according to officials. Al Bari was with his team at a training camp in Penza, western Russia, and was hospitalized for 12 days following the severe injury, before dying on Thursday. The teen had been training to compete at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in his home country next month, with Indonesia Gymnastics Federation chairman Ita Yulati describing him as “one of the nation’s finest.” Russian officials looked into the death, and concluded that Al Bari was attempting an unnamed skill beyond his abilities. Russian Gymnastics Federation vice president Vasily Titov stated: “We conducted the necessary investigation, and all the circumstances surrounding the injury have been established. Unfortunately, the athlete was not prepared to perform such a complex element.”
A man accused of multiple burglaries was caught on camera by news crews, which led to his arrest. On Friday, local Colorado outlets observed the man “suspected of committing multiple trespasses and burglaries in neighborhoods” in the small town of Idaho Springs as they were covering the story, per a Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office news release on Facebook. The stations quickly contacted authorities who “responded to the area” in 10 minutes, and “were able to locate and arrest” him, the news release said. The suspect, identified as Richard Applequist, 32, was seen by reporters entering a parking lot after he “walked directly by news cameras.” His capture comes off the back of an “extensive search” this week after he had allegedly caused over $4,000 in damages, per CBS News. “I was kind of more in a sense of disbelief that wait a minute, this is the guy who I’m literally just talking about and described on live TV,” said CBS News Colorado anchor Justin Adams, who was among the journalists who called the authorities. Applequist crashed his vehicle ahead of the deputies’ arrival before he was located and arrested.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted in Munich conducting a band during the German city’s famed Oktoberfest festivities. The Terminator star and former California governor, 78, was directing the live music band and the crowd, who were singing along, at a beer tent on Friday. The former bodybuilder took selfies with the musicians after conducting, per German news agency dpa. The Austrian-born star adorned a Bavarian-style leather jacket, button-down shirt, and jeans. His partner, Heather Milligan, and son, Christopher, came along with him. Schwarzenegger has visited the Marstall festival hall several times before. Munich’s Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival and takes place in the southern German state of Bavaria. In 2024, Schwarzenegger was spotted at the festival conducting the band wearing traditional lederhosen shorts. It wasn’t all a party, however. The former governor was stopped for hours last year by customs at Munich Airport, sporting an undeclared luxury watch. This year’s Oktoberfest, which attracts up to 6 million visitors, began on Sept. 20 and will continue until Oct. 5.
Authorities investigating the cold case involving the 1991 murders of four teenage girls at an Austin yogurt shop believe they have solved the case, the Austin American-Statesman reports. Thanks to newly available DNA testing, law enforcement officials and cold case detectives will reportedly be announcing on Monday that they have linked the infamous murders to a serial killer who died by suicide in 1999. The alleged suspect, Robert Eugene Brashers, has also been linked to at least three other murders across the U.S. as a result of advancements in DNA testing and genealogy tracing. Four young men were initially connected to the crime, with one even being sentenced to death, though his conviction was later overturned. The horrific murders of 13-year-old Amy Ayers, 15-year old Sarah Harbison, 17-year-old Eliza Thomas and 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison at an I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt! shop in Austin had a profound impact on the community, and were recently the subject of a four-part HBO documentary series, The Yogurt Shop Murders, executive produced by Emma Stone. As a result of the identification of the suspect, the Austin Police Department is expected to consider the previously cold case now closed.
