Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear opened the door for a 2028 presidential run—just a bit. The red state Democrat, in an interview with Louisville station WDRB, said that he would be motivated to run in part to build a better future for his two children. “If you’d asked me a couple years ago if this is something I’d consider, I probably wouldn’t have, but I don’t want to leave a broken country to my kids,” he explained. “So if I’m somebody that can bring this nation together, hopefully find some common ground, it’s something I’ll consider.” Beshear, who was reportedly on the short list of vice presidential candidates for Kamala Harris’ campaign last year, is in his second and final term as governor. Last month, Beshear launched a podcast, in which he has staked out a moderate tone. “Far too much of what we see out there tries to put us in a box, is this talking head versus that talking head,” he said in the pilot episode. “It tries to make everything D or R, red or blue, left or right, and we know the world’s so much more complicated than that.”

Stan Lee‘s daughter has settled a lawsuit against the late comic book icon’s former manager, whom she had accused of elder abuse and the theft of tens of millions of dollars. The agreement was made on Thursday in California’s Los Angeles Superior Court, and depends on the completion of certain terms which are not publicly known. J.C. Lee filed suit in 2019 against Max Anderson, alleging he took advantage of her father in his old age to steal more than $21 million in memorabilia, autograph revenue, and appearance fees. Anderson, who met Lee in 2007, would go on to run Lee’s comic book convention and manage his public appearances. He was also a caretaker for Lee, who died in 2018 at age 95 amid substantial vision loss. Lee accused Anderson of forcing her father to work long hours just months before his death. The trial—not the first legal matter involving alleged elder abuse of the comic book creator—had been scheduled to begin next week.

Actor Kelsey Grammer is speaking out about his late sister’s chilling final moments before she was murdered in 1975. The Frasier and Cheers star opened up in his new memoir Karen: A Brother Remembers, where the 70-year-old author reflects on how tragedy has plagued his life. Karen was two weeks shy of her 19th birthday when she was raped and murdered in Colorado by a man on a killing spree. She was brutally stabbed to death in a demise so horrific that Grammer said he couldn’t find joy for decades. Grammer, who said the pain sent him spiraling into years of cocaine and alcohol addiction, said that “the grief was so dominant” that he “couldn’t access happiness.” He was still reeling from the death of his father, who was shot and killed by a taxi driver in 1968. Grammer is now confronting the pain head-on, saying that the book helped him get to a new place with his grief. Hours after his last conversation with his sister, she was viciously murdered by a man who is now serving life behind bars. His half-brothers died of a shark attack only years later. He says he prays to break the cycle of early death in his family.

Jill Sobule’s two friends are overwhelmed with survivors’ guilt saying they thought the iconic “I Kissed a Girl” singer was following them out of a house fire—when she had instead perished in the flames. Sobule, who died in the house fire early Thursday morning at just 66-years-old, was staying with her married friends in St. Paul, Minnesota when disaster struck. The duo quickly rushed toward safety, believing that Sobule was with them as they ran out. But when they made it outside they realized she was still inside. At that point, the blaze was raging too much to venture back in. The couple’s home was completely destroyed and both have no idea what started the fire. Investigators are trying to determine the cause and whether Sobule had died before the disaster or because of it. Examiners are testing her for drugs, alcohol, and carbon monoxide. The singer was described by her manager as a “force of nature and human rights advocate whose music is wove into our culture.” She is best known for her 1995 hit but also for “Supermodel” from Clueless and the theme song for Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous.

Ruth Buzzi, the comedic actress who starred in Sesame Street and played Gladys Ormphby on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, died Thursday. She was 88. “Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas,” a post on her Facebook page read Friday. “She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease.” In 1993, she began a six-year run as shopkeeper Ruthie on Sesame Street—a role she reprised in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999). Buzzi was also the voice of the character Suzie Kabloozie. Over a 45-year career, Buzzi made over 200 TV appearances and earned five Emmy nominations, including three for her performance in Laugh-In, an NBC variety sketch comedy that ran from 1968 to 1973. The only regular to appear in all six seasons, she won a Golden Globe in 1973 for her work on the show. Buzzi also brought her beloved Gladys character to the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts in Las Vegas, where she famously swung her handbag at the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Lucille Ball. The actress and comedian also played Margie “Pete” Peterson on ABC’s That Girl, and was part of the original Broadway cast of Sweet Charity in 1966. Buzzi retired from acting in 2021. “She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them,” her husband, actor Kent Perkins, wrote Thursday.

The Trump administration has reached a financial agreement in principle to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a rioter killed during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Lawyers for Ashli Babbitt‘s family and Justice Department attorneys confirmed the deal in court Friday—the size of the imminent payout has not yet been made public, according to Politico. Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran, was shot by a Capitol Police officer as she attempted to force her way through a barricaded window into the Speaker’s Lobby as members of Congress fled, fearing for their lives. Her death, captured on video, made her a martyr to MAGA supporters. Judicial Watch filed the suit on behalf of Babbitt’s husband in January 2024 under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The suit alleged that the officer who shot Babbitt failed to de-escalate the situation by first warning Babbitt and accused the U.S. Capitol Police and the Capitol Police Board of negligence. However, the officer who shot Babbitt has been cleared of any wrongdoing. A Capitol Police internal review even praised the officer for having “potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death.” In an interview in March, Trump promised to “look into” settling the Babbitt family’s lawsuit. “I’m a big fan of Ashli Babbitt,” he said at the time, adding that she was a “really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan, and she was innocently standing there.”

The pediatric death toll from the flu this season is the highest it’s been since the 2009-2010 swine flu pandemic, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The 216 deaths may even be an undercount, Dr. Sean O’Leary of the American Academy of Pediatrics told the Associated Press. One reason for the uptick, O’Leary said, is that fewer children are receiving flu shots; the rate this season is 49 percent compared with 64 percent five years ago. The CDC report didn’t mention how many children who died had been vaccinated, if any. Other possible factors, according to O’Leary, include understaffed pediatricians’ offices, fewer vaccination clinics, and some pharmacies not vaccinating children. Hovering over all this, of course, is how Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fueled conspiracy theories about vaccines, in particular ones for measles during a deadly outbreak of the highly infectious disease.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are to reunite at long last. The duo, who are both now 60-years-old and starred together in the hit 1990s action movie Speed and drama The Lake House, are set to star in a romantic thriller being developed at Amazon MGM Studios. The currently untitled feature is penned by famed writer Noah Oppenheim, who wrote the 2016 Jackie Kennedy Onassis biopic Jackie and is a co-creator of Zero Day, a Netflix hit starring Robert De Niro. The plot is described as “propulsive,” although most of the actors are staying hush-hush. Reeves and Bullock will regroup with Mark Gordon, who produced Speed, and he and Oppenheim pitched the project to the famous stars. They’re now all developing the film together. Reeves is renowned for his role in John Wick: Chapter 4 and as the iconic Neo in The Matrix series. Bullock is famed for The Lost City, Bird Box, and The Blind Side, for which she won an Oscar. Gordon is currently producing Greta Gerwig’s Narnia for Netflix and has previously worked on Saving Private Ryan and series like Grey’s Anatomy and Criminal Minds.

An Australian dad allowed his 11-year-old son to come face-to-face with a great white shark that had become stranded in shallow water. Tourist Nash Core spotted three men attempting to push the shark back into deeper water after it had become stranded on a sandbank off the coast of Ardrossan in South Australia. Core, from Gold Coast in Queensland, decided to film the rescue effort with a drone before wading in with his son to help. “To be honest, I did have some thoughts about: ‘Oh, why am I going out here?’” Core told the Associated Press of the incident. “As we were going out, my young son, Parker, turned to me and said: ‘My heart’s pounding.’ I said: ‘Yeah, mine’s beating pretty fast, too.’” Together, the group gradually pushed the shark into deeper water and stayed with the predator until it slowly worked up the strength to swim away. “It was either sick or… just tired,” Core said. “We definitely got it into some deeper water, so hopefully it’s swimming still.”

Kate Middleton has published a new photo of her daughter, Princess Charlotte, to mark her 10th birthday. The picture was posted on the royal family’s social media accounts and was captioned: “Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte! ❤️” In the picture, which seems to have been taken on a hike, Charlotte is smiling broadly, dressed in a weather-proof camouflage jacket and is carrying a backpack. Kate has quietly resumed publishing her own photographs of her children after a controversy last year when it was revealed that a family photograph had been photoshopped. Charlotte is third in line to the throne after her elder brother George, who turns 12 later this year, and her parents have guarded her privacy carefully.
