Top Hollywood powerbroker Casey Wasserman’s name has been stripped from the sports and marketing agency he founded as the fallout from his appearance in the Jeffrey Epstein files continues. The embattled chairman of the 2028 L.A. Olympics organizing committee is in the process of selling his stake in the agency, which rebranded from the Wasserman agency to simply “The Team” on Monday. The agency, which has represented major figures including Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Kendrick Lamar, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, announced the rebrand on its website without making any mention of Wasserman. The 51-year-old entertainment executive came under fire after Justice Department records revealed Wasserman flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 and exchanged suggestive messages with the pedophile’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. “Where are you, I miss you,” Wasserman, who was married at the time, wrote to Maxwell on April 1, 2003. “I will be in nyc for 4 days starting april 22... can we book that massage now?” Wasserman has issued a public apology, saying, “I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light.” Wasserman has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or Maxwell. The Daily Beast has reached out for comment.

Beloved Disney Character to Get Live-Action Spin-Off

A live-action series focused on Peter Pan’s favorite sidekick, Tinker Bell, is reportedly in the works at Disney+, with Deadline reporting that the streamer is now developing Tink. The project was first announced as a live-action romantic comedy with Elizabeth Banks in 2010, and later, Reese Witherspoon was reportedly attached to star in a live-action film called Tink that never materialized. The project, which is considered high priority by the studio, is being developed by former Friday Night Lights writers Liz Heldens and Bridget Carpenter. Former President and Chief Creative Officer at Disney Branded Television Gary Marsh is executive producing the series. The character of Tinker Bell was first introduced in J.M. Barrie’s 1904 play Peter Pan, and first appeared in a Disney production in the 1953 animated film Peter Pan. Other Disney productions she has been featured in include 1991’s Hook, where she was played by Julia Roberts, and 2023’s Peter Pan & Wendy, where she was played by Yara Shahidi.

Alexander Butterfield, the White House aide whose testimony helped trigger Richard Nixon’s resignation over the Watergate scandal, has died, his wife confirmed to the Associated Press. Butterfield was 99. He served as deputy assistant to Nixon from 1969 to 1973 and became a pivotal figure in the Watergate investigation when he revealed that the president had secretly installed a taping system in the Oval Office. The disclosure proved explosive: the recordings ultimately exposed Nixon’s role in the cover-up after the 1972 burglary at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex. “Everything was taped … as long as the president was in attendance,” Butterfield told Watergate investigators when testifying under oath during a preliminary interview. “He had the heavy responsibility of revealing something he was sworn to secrecy on, which is the installation of the Nixon taping system,” John Dean, who served as White House counsel to Nixon during the Watergate scandal, told the Associated Press on Monday. “He stood up and told the truth.” In later years, Butterfield reflected on the historic moment that helped unravel Nixon’s presidency. “I didn’t like to be the cause of that, but I felt that I was, in a lot of ways,” he said in a 2008 oral history for the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

Stand by Me star Corey Feldman says he wasn’t invited to the Oscars’ planned tribute for Rob Reiner, who directed the 1986 film. “I just want to briefly mention this Oscars thing! Yes, it’s true that I was not invited,” Feldman, 54, announced on X. The Academy Awards have planned to honor the slain director during the March 15 show’s In Memoriam segment, featuring many stars from the slain director’s box office hits, including Feldman’s Stand by Me co-stars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton. “I understand many believe it’s due to being outspoken about the abuse I suffered as a child and the campaign to silence me. However, this isn’t about me. It’s not my moment at all. It’s about the tragic loss of our friend Rob Reiner and his memory,” Feldman wrote, referring to his allegations of sex abuse on Hollywood sets as a child. He asked fans to halt any petitions that would distract from the Reiner tribute, writing, “Please take down any petitions to push for my presence at the awards,” and added he intends to honor the fallen director “my own way.” Reached for comment, Feldman’s rep, Samantha Waranch, told The Daily Beast that the three stars of Stand by Me were on tour for the “Stand by Me Live” event to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary when Jerry O’Connell and Will Wheaton had to cancel the 3/15 date to go to the Oscars. The Daily Beast has reached out to the Academy for further comment.

Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott, 32, and wine specialist Sarah Jane Ramos, 32, have called off their engagement after less than three years together. The couple, who were engaged in October 2024, were set to marry in 5 weeks in a glamorous Italian wedding. The relationship had been rocky for months leading up to the split, according to TMZ’s sources. The outlet, which was the first to report the couple’s breakup on Saturday, was told that Ramos called off the wedding during a fight at their joint bachelorette and bachelor parties. A rep for Ramos disputed that account, telling People that calling off the engagement was a mutual decision and said that both parties are “heartbroken that they’re not getting married.” “There wasn’t any rockiness in the lead up, and there was no big argument or blow up,” she specified. The two were initially linked in September 2023 and share two daughters, two-year-old Margaret Jane Rose and nine-month-old Aurora Rayne. “They love their girls, and they’re committed to raising their children together in the most loving and positive way,” Ramos’ rep added.

Tommy DeCarlo, the lead vocalist for the band Boston, died on Monday following a six-month battle with brain cancer. He was 60. His family broke the news of his death on Facebook. ”After being diagnosed with brain cancer last September, he fought with incredible strength and courage right up until the very end," his children Annie, Talia, and Tommy Jr. wrote. “Rest in peace, Dad,” they added. DeCarlo became the lead singer for Boston after their original vocalist, Brad Delp, died via suicide in 2007 at the age of 55. Following Delp’s death, DeCarlo recorded a series of Boston covers that he sent to the band’s management at the urging of his daughter. Soon after, the band contacted DeCarlo and named him Delp’s official replacement. He has helmed the mic for every live touring performance since 2007. In 2013, he sang lead vocals for several songs on the band’s sixth studio album Life, Love & Hope. Around the same time, the vocalist formed the band DECARLO with his son. Together, they recorded one studio album, Lightning Strikes Twice. In 2021, DeCarlo released an audiobook, Unlikely Rockstar—The Tommy DeCarlo Story, detailing his life up to the time he joined the band. The rockstar had been a Home Depot credit manager in North Carolina prior to becoming Boston’s lead vocalist. The band had a string of hits, including “More Than a Feeling,” “Amanda,” and Peace of Mind.” Prior to his passing, DeCarlo’s family set up a GoFundMe to support his ongoing cancer treatment. The fundraiser has amassed more than $56k in donations so far.
An American Airlines passenger had a full-blown meltdown after she was ejected from the plane for playing videos out loud. The irate customer was recorded by fellow passengers as police hauled her off the Miami-Tampa flight. In her expletive-laden rant, she scolded the fellow travelers who complained about her phone use. “I played a video for 30 f-----g seconds at 50 percent sound, and that’s the f------g reason you’re kicking me off?” she also snapped at a flight attendant. The New York Post reported that the loud-mouthed woman was belligerent before the plane even left the gate at Miami airport. It also cited fellow passengers who described the woman as “drunk.” In a TikTok clip detailing her meltdown, she confidently urged someone to “go ahead and call the police.” Poetic justice ensues when, seconds later, two male officers escort her off the plane. She claps sarcastically as most other passengers give the cops a round of applause. American Airlines has been contacted for comment.

A teacher has been run over and killed by a group of his students, after a prank ended in tragedy. Students of 40-year-old Jason Hughes had headed to his house to throw toilet paper over trees in Gainesville, Georgia, on Friday, but he was in on the joke, The New York Times reports. Now his family is begging for the charges to be dropped. When he came out of the house, he slipped on the wet ground and was run over by a truck driven by Jayden Wallace, 18. Hall County Sheriff’s Office said Wallace faces a felony charge of homicide by vehicle in the first degree, and charges of criminal trespass, reckless driving, and littering. Laura Hughes, a teacher at the same school, said her husband knew they were coming, “was excited and waiting to catch them in the act.” She added that his family “supports getting the charges dropped for all involved.” “This is a terrible tragedy, and our family is determined to prevent a separate tragedy from occurring, ruining the lives of these students,” she said, according to the Times. “This would be counter to Jason’s lifelong dedication of investing in the lives of these children.”

Self-pleasure (and partnered play) should feel empowering, not overwhelming. With so many sex toy options on the market—each with interesting shapes and sizes—finding the right fit can feel daunting, especially if you’re a newcomer. Womanizer Peach clitoral stimulator takes the guesswork out of pleasure with a cute, quiet, and compact design that doesn’t skimp on the power. Many traditional sex toys rely on direct contact for stimulation, but the Peach uses Pleasure Air Technology that surrounds the clitoris with soft, rhythmic pulses, creating mind-blowing sensations whether solo or with a partner.
Wrapped in velvety-soft, body-safe silicone, the Peach is shaped to fit naturally in your hand. With 14 intensity levels, you can fine-tune the pace—whether it’s soft and gentle or powerful and intense. Each level is perfectly balanced and offers the right settings for any mood.

A full charge gives you an hour of playtime. Though according to reviewers, you likely won’t need that long. “My girlfriend really, really, really enjoyed this,” one five-star Amazon reviewer said. “It makes for some very fun evenings and has become a bit of a treat for us.” Other reviews also praise the clitoral stimulator’s ergonomic design. “This product is really ergonomically designed, which makes it extremely comfortable to hold,” another pleased Amazon shopper wrote, adding that it’s super quiet and discreet enough for travel.
Right now, the Peach is only $39 (normally it’s $69). Whether you’re exploring solo or turning up the heat with a partner, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

More than 160 years after the Civil War ironclad warship, the USS Monitor, sank off North Carolina, newly released 3D images are offering an unprecedented view of the historic wreck and its transformation beneath the Atlantic. The scans, produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and defense contractor Northrop Grumman using advanced sonar and autonomous underwater vehicles, reveal the ship in remarkable detail, roughly 240 feet below the surface near the Outer Banks. Tane Casserley, a maritime archaeologist with the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, told WAVY-TV the wreck is in “fantastic shape” despite sitting at the bottom of the ocean for more than a century. Launched from Greenpoint, New York, in January 1862, the Monitor was the U.S. Navy’s first ironclad warship and famously battled the Confederate CSS Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads that March. The vessel later sank during a violent storm near Cape Hatteras on New Year’s Eve 1862, killing 16 sailors. The ship was lost for more than 100 years, before being discovered in 1973, and is now the nation’s first national marine sanctuary.

An ice shelf broke loose from a shore and stranded a group of people in frigid waters in Canada, forcing a rescue operation. Authorities said the slab of ice separated from land and drifted more than a mile before splitting into several sections, leaving people scattered across the floating chunks and partially submerged in the icy water. The Ontario Provincial Police said 23 people ultimately needed to be rescued after the incident in Georgian Bay in southwestern Ontario. Officers from the Grey-Bruce detachment said they received reports of numerous people stranded on the ice during the afternoon, prompting a multi-agency response. Emergency teams from police aviation and marine units joined fire departments from local communities to reach those trapped on the drifting ice. Authorities said a local golf club opened its facilities so aviation crews could stage rescue operations and triage those pulled from the water. By mid-afternoon, police said everyone had been safely airlifted back to shore.
