Six months after his girlfriend’s death, 94-year-old Clint Eastwood is “doing good,” according to his son. Eastwood’s girlfriend, Christina Sandera, 61, died of a heart attack in July. The two had been dating for 10 years. At the time, Eastwood said: “Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.” His son, Scott, told PEOPLE that the legendary director and actor was a “survivor, a trooper.” Sandera died just two days after her 61st birthday in a Monterey County, California, hospital. She was a board member of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, which paid tribute to her at the time of her death on Instagram. “Despite being connected to high-profile celebrity life, Christina often eschewed the spotlight. She was far more comfortable in her jeans, pigtails, and baseball hat, shoveling and tending to her beloved horses and animals.” Scott said of his father that it was in their blood to “just do.” He said his father “was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle… There is no room for complaining.”

Tennis Hall of Famer Pam Shriver had many of her trophies stolen after evacuating from the L.A. wildfires. Shriver and her family were staying at the Marina Del Rey DoubleTree to escape the Palisades fire when their car, a Dodge Durango Hellcat, was stolen. Many of the awards were in the vehicle until they could “safely move back home.” According to ESPN, the car held five U.S. Open trophies, five French Open plates and one Australian Open trophy. “My son & I are at a police station reporting our car was stolen from the hotel parking lot we evacuated to when fires started,” Shriver posted to X on Thursday. “It’s really sad on so many levels that, when people are at their lowest and in their most difficult times, people are doing things like this,” Shriver said to ESPN. “Now, my family’s a victim of a crime, too.” Her Brentwood home survived the devastating fires, which ravaged the area.

A Texas man was booted right off of a Spirit Airlines flight due to an “obscene item” of clothing. The flyer, John Garcia Jr., was removed from the plane going from Los Angeles to San Antonio for wearing a hoodie that read: “Fvck Hate World Tour.” The video of his removal went viral as airplane staff can be seen going back and forth with the man over his sweatshirt. “It caught me like totally by surprise,” the 43-year-old said to San Antonio Express-News. “Like, ‘Man, are you serious?’” He was allegedly asked to remove his hoodie, and Garcia refused at first but eventually obliged after they told him to either remove it or get off the plane. Spirit representatives addressed the incident later, saying: “We want all our guests to feel welcome and have a great experience while traveling with us... We are aware of the video, and our team is investigating.”

MTG Suggests More Nefarious Reason for Trump’s Indoor Inauguration
CONSPIRACY THEORY AHEAD

Marjorie Taylor Greene hinted at a more dangerous reason behind the inauguration being moved indoors. After news broke of the change, the representative tweeted her conspiracy theory for the cause: A possible security threat. “I have personally attended countless rallies where President Trump spoke in extreme weather conditions from cold to rain to heat,“ Greene wrote on X. ”Is there a security threat other than extreme cold temperatures? Not only for him but for the people?” Minutes later, Greene posted Donald Trump’s statement on the inauguration, which he clarified was due to freezing cold temperatures. “The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows,” Trump wrote to Truth Social. “There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.” The swearing in ceremony will be moved into the Capitol Rotunda, whilst the parade will take place in the Capitol One Arena. Monday’s weather forecast is shaping out to be the coldest inauguration in 40 years.

U.K. Parliament’s Bar to Close as Police Probe Spiked Drinks
‘INCREDIBLY CONCERNING’

A bar inside Britain’s Parliament is being closed after allegations of a drink being spiked, The Guardian reported. Strangers’ Bar, which offers subsidized drinks to members of Parliament, staff and visitors inside the Palace of Westminster, had already become notorious for drunken behavior. On Jan. 7, a parliamentary researcher reported to the staff that her drink had been tampered with, Politico reported earlier this week. On Wednesday, Metropolitan Police told Politico they were investigating the incident but hadn’t made any arrests. Starting next Monday, the bar will close for a safety review. “The safety of everyone on the estate remains a key priority of both houses,” a spokesperson for the House of Commons told The Guardian. The drinking culture at Westminster has come under fire in recent years, with one watchdog group calling it a “frequent factor” in cases of workplace harassment and abuse. Some members of Parliament even reportedly leave their drinks unattended at the bar while they go vote, then return to them after. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Politico that particular habit was “clearly… not sensible” and described the spiked drink as “incredibly concerning.”

L.A.’s Comeback Delayed by Toxic Fumes From Burning Teslas
TOXIC WASTE

Toxic fumes released by Tesla vehicles and other electric cars which have burned in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires are hindering cleanup efforts in the area. Jacqui Irwin, a state assembly member representing the Pacific Palisades, told Bloomberg that many of the cars in the evacuation zone have lithium batteries which require special removal. When burned, they release harmful gases and toxic chemicals which can cause severe health issues such as lung and eye damage and skin burns. “We’ve heard from firefighters that those lithium batteries burned fires near homes—like those with power walls—for much longer.” Fire victims will have to wait longer to return to their properties, the publication reported. Lithium battery fires can take up to 40 times longer to extinguish than standard car fires, The Conversation reported. The ferocious wind-fueled wildfires which erupted in Los Angeles have claimed the lives of at least 27 people, forced thousands of resident to flee, and have caused tens of billions of dollars in damage so far. The cause of the fires remain unknown.

Apple has temporarily pulled the plug on a recently launched artificial intelligence (AI) feature that churned out inaccurate summaries of news headlines from the BBC, Sky News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other media organizations. The iPhone maker’s service falsely created the headline that Luigi Mangione—the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson—had shot himself. It also incorrectly told users that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested and that Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal had come out as gay. It even claimed Donald Trump had endorsed Kamala Harris’ 2024 Democratic running mate Tim Walz for president, according to the Post. A spokesperson for Apple told news outlets the company is “working on improvements and will make them available in a future software update.” The company came under intense scrutiny for the heavily marketed feature which butchered some news headlines, with Post tech columnist Geoffrey Fowler slamming it as “wildly irresponsible” in a rant on social media platform Bluesky this week.

Joan Plowright, Renowned Actress and Widow of Laurence Olivier, Dies at 95
LEGEND LOST

The renowned British actress Joan Plowright, who was married to the stage legend Laurence Olivier for 28 years, died on Thursday aged 95. She passed in her native England, her daughter said, at a retirement home for actors in the country’s south. A cause of death was not released, but she was surrounded by loved ones. Plowright was a winner of a Tony Award, two Golden Globes, and earned nominations for an Oscar and an Emmy. Her only Oscar nomination came for 1991’s Enchanted April, for which she won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress. At the same ceremony, she won another Globe for her role in HBO’s 1992 biopic Stalin. Along with her husband, who died in 1989, she did much to revitalize the United Kingdom’s theatrical scene post-World War II. Plowright shared three children with Olivier: Richard, born in 1961, Tamsin, born in 1963, and Julie-Kate, born in 1966. She worked until she physically could not anymore, retiring in 2014 after being deemed legally blind. That career-ending condition came a decade after he was made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II. “She enjoyed a long and illustrious career across theater, film, and TV over seven decades until blindness made her retire,” her family said. “We are so proud of all Joan did and who she was as a loving and deeply inclusive human being.” It was announced Friday that theaters across London will dim their lights for two minutes at 7 p.m. on Tuesday to honor Plowright.

If you’re looking for effective anti-aging skincare formulas that don’t cost the sum of a monthly mortgage payment, take a cue from reality TV star Bethenny Frankel. Frankel, who has amassed quite the following on TikTok over the years, uses the platform to showcase her favorite products, including both luxury and drugstore formulas.

One of her favorite brands for skincare and cosmetics is No7—specifically, its Future Renew collection. Each formula in the line is affordably priced under $50 but, according to Frankel, looks, feels, and performs like higher-end counterparts.

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Serum

One of her favorites is the Future Renew Damage Reversal Eye Serum. The lightweight anti-aging serum is formulated with Pepticology, the brand’s new and patent-pending peptide technology. This technology is formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while aiding in the skin’s natural repair process for a firmer, brighter, and smoother complexion. Frankel also notes that the wallet-friendly serum layers well with other skincare products (she uses it under her moisturizer), and it “plays well with makeup.”

While skincare is always a worthy splurge (after all, our skin is our biggest organ), you don’t have to shell out $100+ for effective formulas that target the visible signs of aging.

Donald Trump’s team is reportedly not breaking a sweat over Michelle Obama’s absence from his inauguration on Monday. A source close to President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA orbit told Page Six that those involved in planning his inaugural festivities are “having a good laugh” about Michelle’s snub and “didn’t expect her to come anyway.” Meanwhile, a Democratic source told the outlet that “Donald Trump and Melania didn’t go to Joe Biden’s inauguration and nobody cared. No one said anything.” Barack and Michelle Obama’s office announced that the former first lady would be missing Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20, but that the former president would still attend. Michelle also didn’t attend former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral service last week as she was on an “extended vacation” in Hawaii. Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as George W. and Laura Bush, are expected to attend Trump’s second inauguration on Monday.

An attorney for Wendy Williams poured cold water on fan theories claiming that the former talk show host isn’t cognitively impaired and suffering from dementia. Fans reacting to Williams’ viral Breakfast Club podcast interview Thursday began calling for her release from conservatorship, a la the #FreeBritney movement, over concerns that Williams appeared to be “present” and “coherent” like when she used to draw viewers into her eponymous talk show, The Wendy Williams Show. However, attorney Roberta Kaplan cautioned in an interview with TMZ that fans shouldn’t be fooled by Williams’ clarity. She has good days and bad days due to her battling an a neurological disease that will require her to have around-the-clock care for the rest of her life. It was revealed that Williams was diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia just before the documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams?, which also detailed Williams’ struggles with alcohol abuse. Williams compared the facility where she is staying in New York City to a “prison.” Her niece, Alex, stated that she is fighting to have Williams taken under the care of her family.
