Former president Joe Biden made his first public remarks since his prostate cancer diagnosis last week, telling reporters at Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport on Friday that he was “feeling great.” Speaking to a small crowd outside the airport, Biden explained that he was in Connecticut to attend his grandson’s graduation. Robert Hunter Biden II graduated from Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut, on Friday, and his family—including the former POTUS and his wife Dr. Jill Biden—gathered to celebrate in what was the 82-year-old’s first public appearance since news of his cancer broke. Biden’s cancer diagnosis was first announced by his office last Sunday before Biden acknowledged it himself in a post to social media on Monday, writing, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

The famous Cannes Film Festival was forced to halt all events Saturday morning after it was reportedly sabotaged by an unidentified suspect that triggered a mass power outage. The widespread blackout hit southeastern France just as the festival prepared to hand out its top prize. About 160,000 households nearby lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell and disrupted nearby traffic and train service. It came only hours after a similar catastrophe: a fire at an electrical substation overnight had already weakened the area. Authorities announced they are “looking into the likelihood of a fire being started deliberately.” Local outlet Francinfo reported that foul play is suspected and alleged arson attacks first affected a power plant in a region called Tanneron on Friday evening. A statement released by the film festival organizers said that screenings at one of the festival’s satellite venues were briefly suspended but everything else proceeded as planned “under normal conditions.” The main venue had switched to an independent power supply. “Restoration efforts are underway,” added the statement. Although they said that a cause had not yet been confirmed, controversial right-wing politician Éric Ciotti stoked fear after alleging the incident was a “deliberate, even terrorist, attack.”

Saturday Night Live‘s Kenan Thompson, the longest serving cast member in the sketch comedy show’s history, has hinted that their could be some big changes coming to the show when it returns to late-night screens in the fall. Speaking with The New York Post this week, Thompson said the big ending to the show’s 50th season was “bittersweet.” He teased, “Especially this year where it feels like there’s maybe, possibly, a lot of change next year.” Thompson did not say exactly what those changes might be, but speculation over cast members’ exits have been swirling in recent weeks; Colin Jost sent rumors into overdrive in particular after a no-holds-barred joke swap with Michael Che during the season finale. “You want everyone to stay forever, knowing that people may be making decisions this summer…it’s always like you want your kids to stay young,” said Thompson, 47. Amid the rumors, SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels, 80, shared to The Hollywood Reporter that he plans to stay managing the show as long as he can be “useful.”

Brittany Spears is pointing the finger at anyone but herself after she lit up on a private plane to have a mid-flight smoke. On Friday, she wrote on Instagram that she’s sorry to those she “offended” but told her fans that she’s not the one responsible. “My friend put it in my mouth and lit it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!” the popstar posted on Instagram along with a video of herself in the jet. She also blamed the “weird” flight attendant for snitching on her, saying that the attendant called officials to “embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn’t like me the moment I got on plane !!!” Spears, 43, started puffing after indulging in a few alcoholic drinks on a flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Los Angeles, where “confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!!” She called the smoking controversy “actually incredibly funny,” saying she has been on planes where smoking is prohibited but thought this one was different. When the flight attendant called authorities to greet her as she exited the plane, she thought they were meeting her as “support.” “Am I famous or something ???” she wrote.

24-year-old Milla Magee, who had been representing England at the Miss World beauty pageant, quit the competition earlier this month, citing personal reasons. In a new exclusive interview with British tabloid The Sun, however, she revealed that the real reason for her departure was that she felt exploited by the “outdated” competition. “I went there to make a difference but we had to sit like performing monkeys,” Magee told the newspaper. She added that she was made to feel like a “prostitute” after being “farmed out for entertainment” and paraded in front of wealthy male sponsors by pageant organizers. Having entered the competition to do good and make a difference, she was left feeling disappointed. “Morally, I couldn’t be a part of it,” Magee said. “All the crowns and sashes in the world mean nothing compared to using your voice and making a difference in the world.” Magee has since been replaced by the Miss England pageant’s (former) runner-up, who will be one of 108 contestants eligible to win the pageant on May 31.

One lucky Hunger Games fan has the chance to secure a non-speaking walk-on role in the upcoming prequel film, Sunrise on the Reaping. Lionsgate, the studio behind the blockbuster franchise, outlined the opportunity to fans in a post on X, asked wannabe stars to show their best–whether it be acting out a scene, performing a song, or something completely new–in a video submission no longer than 60 seconds. No previous acting experience is required, and costs including airfare, accommodation, ground transport and food will be covered for the winner and one guest, in addition to the coveted prize of appearing as an extra in the movie. Entrants will be judged on their acting ability, charisma, and the thematic relevance of their entry to the film. The competition closes on June 6 and is only open to residents of the U.S. over the age of 18.

The government will drop its prosecution against Boeing over its role in two deadly 737 crashes that killed 346 people. Just weeks before the aircraft manufacturer was set to face trial, Boeing entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the Justice Department, agreeing to pay more than $1.1 billion, including a $445 million fund for crash victims and another $445 million for compliance, safety, and quality programs. In October 2018, a Lion Air 737 flight crashed over Indonesia’s Java Sea, killing all 189 people on board. Five months later, in March 2019, an Ethiopian Airlines 737 flight also crashed, killing all 157 people on board. The families of victims from both crashes have long lobbied the DOJ to prosecute Boeing, and last year, the manufacturer agreed to plead guilty to criminal fraud for misleading regulators to get approval for a new in-flight control system that later played a role in both crashes, despite safety concerns. However, a federal judge later rejected the plea deal. Regarding today’s non-prosecution agreement, an attorney for some of the families told CNBC it was “unprecedented and obviously wrong for the deadliest corporate crime in US history” and said his clients plan to object. The Justice Department claims 110 other families supported the move to resolve the case pre-trial.

Ex-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson, 60, is welcoming a brand new addition to the family. Wife Carrie Johnson, 37, announced on Instagram Saturday that the family has welcomed Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson to the clan. Poppy is the youngest of Johnson’s four children and will be known as “Pops” or “Pop Tart.” Carrie posted the announcement alongside a series of pictures and a caption saying that she’s their “final gang member.” In the pics, the former prime minister holds Poppy, who wears a tiny pink hat. The caption reads: “Welcome to the world Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson born on 21st May. Aka Pops, Pop Tart.” The new mother added, “Feel so incredibly lucky. We are all totally smitten.” She wrapped up the caption by saying, “Back from hospital now and time for cocktails and pizza with my tiny baby snoozing on my lap. Life doesn’t get any better.”

Ryan Reynolds, who starred in, wrote, and produced the R-rated action-comedy Deadpool & Wolverine last year, said the Star Wars franchise should have an R-rated “property” as well. On a recent episode of The Box Office podcast, Reynolds described his pitch to Disney. “Why don’t we do an R-rated Star Wars property?” he recalled saying. “‘It doesn’t have to be overt, A+ characters. There’s a wide range of characters you could use. And I don’t mean R-rated to be vulgar; R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don’t want to just gamble on something like that.” Reynolds wouldn’t act in the production but would contribute as a writer or producer. “I’m not saying I want to be in it,” he said. “I’d want to produce and write or be a part of behind the scenes. Those kinds of IP subsist really well on scarcity and surprise. We don’t get scarcity really with Star Wars because of Disney+, but you can certainly still surprise people.”

A new biography of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury claims that the singer had a secret daughter born as the result of an affair with the wife of a close friend. According to “Love, Freddie,” Mercury regularly visited his daughter, born in 1976 and known only as “B,” going so far as to give her 17 volumes of detailed personal journals that she kept secret. His daughter, who is now 48 years old and works as a medical professional in Europe, shared the contents of her father’s journals with Lesley-Ann Jones, the author of the biography, giving the world a unique look at the beloved performer’s inner life. In a letter from “B” that is included in the book, she wrote that Mercury “adored” and ”was devoted” to her and that the circumstances of her birth “never detracted from his commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me like a treasured possession.”
