A UPS plane with three crew members onboard crashed during takeoff from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky on Tuesday. UPS Flight 2976, which was destined for Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii, crashed around 5:15 p.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. UPS said it had “not confirmed any injuries/casualties.” Video obtained by Louisville news station WDRB shows a fire around the left wing as the plane moves down the runway before exploding. The plane, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, is designed for transporting freight, CNN reported. Its manufacturer wasn’t immediately clear. The Louisville airport is UPS’ global air hub, where more than two million packages are processed daily, the company says. The Louisville Metro Police Department issued a shelter in place order for 5 miles in all directions. The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation, and the FAA will also investigate, the FAA said. A new legal drama starring Kim Kardashian has received a 0 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first three episodes of the Hulu drama All’s Fair dropped on Tuesday. The show follows a team of female divorce attorneys who open a law firm. Kardashian takes the lead as the owner of the firm, with award-winning actresses Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, and Teyana Taylor by her side. Critics and viewers have taken a dislike to the series, with The Telegraph critic Ed Power calling it a “crime against television.” The show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, who previously worked with Kardashian on American Horror Story, has described the new drama as “inspirational and aspirational,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Kardashian’s role as Allura Grant is loosely inspired by her own lawyer, Laura Wasser, who was a writing consultant on the series. “Laura happened to be my attorney for two divorces out of the three,” the SKIMS co-founder told PEOPLE. Aside from acting, Kardashian has been on a six-year journey studying law, with the reality star stating that she is “100% confident” she passed the California bar exam she took in July. Episodes of All’s Fair will be released weekly on Tuesdays, with the finale scheduled for December 23, 2025.

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. Ben Duncan, a college classmate of the Prince and Princess of Wales and a reality TV star known for being a housemate on Season 11 of the U.K.’s Big Brother, died Thursday night after falling about 100 feet from a hotel rooftop bar in London. Duncan, 45, fell from the seventh story of the swanky Trafalgar St. James Hotel, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the Daily Mail. A spokesperson from a London ambulance service also told the Daily Mail: “We sent resources to the scene, including an ambulance crew, an incident response officer, paramedics in fast response cars and paramedics from our hazardous area response team.” “Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene,” they added. Police responded to a call about concerns over a man on the rooftop of the celebrity hotspot, where rooms run for as much as $1,300 per night. Authorities did not say what caused the fall, but are not treating the death as suspicious. Duncan had met Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton while attending St. Andrews University, and was said to be in their friend group around the time they started dating. “Because we’d had Will and Kate in our midst, we had royal protection officers swarming the place,” Duncan said in November 2010. “We knew that they had hit it off and we knew that something was happening, but they were just left along to get on with it.” After graduating, Duncan went on to appear in a number of U.K. television series in addition to Big Brother, including Ladette to Lady, Celebrity Coach Trip and Come Dine with Me. Josie Gibson, who won Big Brother Season 11 after Duncan was eliminated, posted about her late housemate in an Instagram Story Tuesday. “My heart goes out to Ben and his family,” Gibson said. “I love you Ben... one [of] the most unique, hilariously funny, dry witted guys I know.” 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. Visit Stressless’s website to find a local dealer and see what zero-gravity relaxation is all about. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have signed on for a fourth movie in The Mummy franchise, according to a report from Variety—their first together since 2001. The untitled fourth Mummy movie project will be helmed by directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, a creative partnership called “Radio Silence.” The pair are best known for 2019’s Ready or Not and 2022’s Scream. The 1999 version of The Mummy, led by Fraser and Weisz as the romantic leads, was a box office smash, but the IP struggled to maintain momentum in subsequent films. It was followed by 2001’s The Mummy Returns and 2008’s Weisz-less The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor—both failed to capture the box office magic of the original. Similarly, Tom Cruise’s 2017 attempt at a reboot similarly fell flat. Fraser returns to The Mummy during a career renaissance buoyed by his Oscar for his performance in the 2022 movie, The Whale. He previously said he’d be open to returning to The Mummy franchise “if someone came up with the right conceit.” Weisz has remained active in Hollywood, winning awards and nominations for 2019’s The Favorite. Two Massachusetts men are in custody following an explosion that shook Harvard University’s medical campus early Saturday morning. Logan D. Patterson, 18, Dominick F. Cardoza, 20, were arrested Tuesday morning for their alleged involvement in the explosion, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley said. Authorities had been searching for two individuals seen running from the Goldenson Building, which houses the school’s neuroscience research labs, moments after the blast. Surveillance footage circulated by investigators showed one person wearing a gray ski mask, and the other in a face mask and black hoodie. The explosion, which resulted in minimal damage and no injuries, is thought to have been “intentional,” feds say. Harvard officials expressed relief that the situation was contained quickly and emphasized the campus remains secure. The blast comes amid a turbulent year for Harvard staff and students, who’ve found themselves at the forefront of the MAGA administration’s ongoing overhaul of higher education. University representatives have spent several months negotiating a substantive financial agreement aimed at reinstating full federal support for the school and resolving its continuing legal disputes with the White House. Tom Brady has admitted that his dog Junie is a clone of his late dog Lua. Brady, an investor in the biotech firm Colossal Biosciences, tells People he credits the company with giving his family a “second chance.” Brady and ex-wife Gisele Bündchen announced their adopted dog Lua’s death in December 2023. “Our guardian angel is gone to heaven… She will forever live in our hearts,” the supermodel wrote in an Instagram post. “I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family,” Brady said. Before Lua’s death, the legendary quarterback drew blood from the elderly dog for the non-invasive cloning technology. Brady’s announcement comes as Colossal Biosciences has acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, the firm that cloned Barbra Streisand’s dead dog Samantha and Paris Hilton’s Diamond Baby after it went missing. The retired NFL player said he is excited about the biological technology, which he said “can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species.” Kim Kardashian said she is “100% confident” she passed the bar exam after studying law for six years. Kardashian, 45, sat for the California bar exam in July and is expecting the results of the exam later this month. Despite speculations, her stardom did not give her early access to the exam results. On The Graham Norton Show, the self-assured reality star claimed she is positive she will be a “qualified” lawyer after receiving the results. Kardashian finished an apprenticeship program in May with a San Francisco law firm. She also celebrated the completion of her law courses with a family party. She shared while taking Vanity Fair’s lie detector test that she tried using ChatGPT to study for law exams, but admitted to having little success. “It has made me fail tests ... all the time,” she said. The Skims owner said that, in addition to her career as a business mogul, media personality, and actress, she practiced law for 18 hours a week while in school. Although her late father, the criminal defense attorney Robert Kardashian, advised against becoming as lawyer, she pursued legal education because of her passion for “criminal justice and reform work.” Scouted selects products independently.

Singer-songwriter Christina Perri has filed for divorce from her husband Paul Costabile after seven years of marriage, court documents have revealed. The former couple, who wed in 2017, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as the same day as the filing. Perri, 39, has two children with Costabile: Carmella Stanley, 7, and Pixie Rose, 3, and has requested joint legal custody and physical custody of her daughters. The “Jar of Hearts” singer also asked that the court not award spousal support to Costabile, citing a prenuptial agreement signed by the pair in Dec. 2017. The couple’s journey to parenthood was marked by profound loss, with Perri previously sharing the heartbreaking stillbirth of their son in Nov. 2020, following a miscarriage earlier that year. They eventually welcomed their second daughter, Pixie, in 2022. Costabile initially announced his marriage to Perri on Instagram in 2017, calling the singer his “dream girl and best friend.” Representatives for both parties have yet to comment on the divorce proceedings. A 65-year-old hunter who went missing for weeks in California’s snow-capped Fresno County mountains has been miraculously found alive and well, authorities report. Ron Dailey left his home in Selma to go on a solo hunting trip in the Sierra National Forest on Oct. 13, only to vanish after a winter storm hit the area and plunged the region into sub-zero temperatures. Dailey revealed that his truck had broken down while climbing the mountain at an elevation of more than 10,000ft, leaving him stranded off-road with two weeks’ worth of supplies. Using the truck for shelter, the hunter attempted to ride out the storm, but when supplies dwindled, he knew he had to make a move. “You either walk out or you’re going to sit here and die,” he told local media, stating that he suffered several falls while attempting to walk to safety and lost his phone during the ordeal, before he was eventually discovered by a fellow band of hunters on a nearby trail and taken to safety. A day later, his truck was found by a search party with the back window broken out, and expressed disbelief that Dailey had managed to survive inside the vehicle for so long. “We were in disbelief that a stock truck could make it that far,” they added. Further details of his survival will be released after a full debriefing, the sheriff’s office announced.
