Podcaster and former Donald Trump senior adviser Steve Bannon denied he was plotting a bid to run for president in the next presidential election. The 71-year-old MAGA media personality told The National Pulse simply “Trump 2028″ when asked about the report he was preparing to run. It came after the Daily Mail claimed, citing unnamed sources, that the War Room host was seeking political advice about launching his own candidacy. Such a move would have put him at odds with other MAGA favorites with their own potential White House aspirations. As far back as last year, Bannon had been floating the idea of Trump running for a third term despite the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution preventing a president from being elected to more than two terms. In March, the MAGA strategist went so far as to claim Trump would run and would win. Bannon also said in a March interview that he does not “think like a politician,” backs Trump, and is trying to “move the populist national agenda and the America First agenda.” But on Tuesday, the president did suggest Vice President J.D. Vance was “most likely” the MAGA heir apparent to serve as the Republican presidential nominee in 2028.

If you were a global bank trying to scream “trust,” “transparency,” and “not secretly funneling money around the world,” who would you choose to front your brand? If your first answer was “Prince Andrew’s daughter,” congratulations—you’re on the same wavelength as First Abu Dhabi Bank, which this week unveiled its new Mayfair HQ with a photo of Princess Beatrice beaming in the lobby like absolutely nothing was on fire. First Abu Dhabi Bank appears to have sent out a press release announcing the opening with a photo of Beatrice just hours before Andrew Lownie’s blistering new biography of her father, Prince Andrew, dropped, detailing a litany of murky financial entanglements, dodgy donors, and disgusting sexual behavior. Lownie’s book says that Andrew’s daughters have been pulled into his murky business dealings, most notably when, in 2019, a £750,000 payment landed in Andrew’s bank account from a Turkish fraudster that was identified as a “gift” to Princess Beatrice for her wedding. The wedding, a modest affair, was held a few months later—and attended by just 20 people. Princess Beatrice and First Abu Dhabi Bank have been contacted for comment.

Jon Miyahara, who played the hilarious and silently judgmental retail store employee Brett Kobashigawa in the NBC workplace sitcom Superstore, has died at 83. The exact cause and date of his death have not been publicly released. His castmate Colton Dunn announced Miyahara’s death through a tribute he posted on Instagram. Dunn described Miyahara as a “really awesome guy” who could “speak volumes with just a look.” His role as Brett was Miyahara’s most significant, and he appeared in nearly all 113 episodes, saying a total of two words for the show’s entire run: “Oh s---.” Adored by fans, Miyahara’s character is remembered as a “scene-stealer” for his unperturbed demeanor, occasionally bizarre antics, and most of all, his inscrutable blank stares. Miyahara was similarly enigmatic in his personal life, sharing little information about himself or his family with the public. Superstore fans are honoring him by playing Creep, a callback to one of Brett’s most prominent plotlines in the show, when his fellow store employees stage a memorial service and play Radiohead on the ukulele, mistakenly believing he had died in a tornado. Brett, in his signature unaffected fashion, returns to work the next day.

Euphoria and Saltburn star Jacob Elordi, 28, and nepo baby Olivia Jade Giannulli, 25, have ended their relationship after years of dating, People reported. Elordi and Giannulli have been spotted in paparazzi photos vacationing together, attending events and out with friends since 2021 but have not officially confirmed their relationship. After a reported split in 2022, a source told People that Elordi and Giannulli were together again and “getting serious.” However, Elordi declined to answer questions about his relationship status in his 2023 GQ Man of the Year profile. “I appreciate you giving me the space,” he adding to the speculation about his relationship with Giannulli after they continued to be spotted together. Giannulli is the daughter of fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli and actress Lori Loughlin, of Full House fame and infamy after she was sentenced to two months in prison for her role in the college admissions scandal. Elordi was recently spotted alongside model ex-girlfriend Kai Gerber, daughter of model Cyndi Crawford, at fellow model Cara Delevingne’s L.A. birthday, E! News reported. Elordi and Giannulli’s reps did not respond to People’s request for confirmation.

Natural deodorant may not be the most exciting product in the self-care category, but for many of us, it’s a daily essential. But just because you’re looking for a natural deodorant that actually works doesn’t mean it has to smell like a generic body wash, and Humble Brands’ newest fragrance drop is proof. Humble Brands recently launched its newest scent, Sweet Amber, and it smells like a designer fragrance.

The Sweet Amber scent is Humble’s first aromatherapy product, partly inspired by the brand’s origins in Taos, New Mexico (known as a destination for healing). The amber used in the cruelty-free, aluminum-free deodorant is extracted from ancient, fossilized Himalayan tree resin and was crafted by Humble Brands’ in-house natural perfumer.

In addition to amber, the scent has bright, floral, and creamy sweet notes from jasmine and vanilla—similar to bestselling fragrances like Tom Ford, Le Labo, and Byredo. It also has hints of Nagarmotha, patchouli, and cedarwood, giving it a sweet yet smoky finish. Plus, unlike some perfume and body mists, this deodorant is not overpowering and has a long-lasting yet subtle projection.

The key ingredients in Humble Brands’ aluminum-free deodorant range (including its new scent) are corn starch, baking soda, MCT oil, and beeswax—no aluminum or weird chemicals. The cornstarch naturally helps to absorb sweat, while the baking soda neutralizes odor. The beeswax and MCT oil help soothe the skin by locking in moisture, so it’s great for those with sensitive and dry skin. The best part? All Humble Brands products benefit the non-profit organization,1% for the Planet, so you’ll be investing in a new self-care treat that’s good for yourself and the environment.

A couple has been accused of abandoning their 10-year-old son to catch their flight. The child had problems with his documentation that prevented him from boarding a plane at the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, so his parents boarded with their younger child and called relatives to pick the 10-year-old up. Local police were called and halted the flight. The couple was escorted off the plane and brought to the police station, where the child had been taken for safety. According to a video on TikTok from an air coordinator who witnessed the event, the boy was traveling with a Spanish passport because the passport from his country of origin had expired. He was missing the required visa and thus could not board the plane. The Daily Beast has reached out to Guardia Civil and local authorities for comment.

Before there was the human, there was the hobbit. Now, after discovering stone tools that are 1.48 million years old, archaeologists are gaining a clearer picture of how our diminutive and elusive primate cousins, Homo floresiensis, used to live. Homo sapiens are just one species in the diverse Hominini family, which also includes the diminutive three-feet-tall Homo floresiensis, affectionately nicknamed after the beloved fictional race invented by fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien. Their remains were discovered just 22 years ago, and since then, Homo floresiensis has mystified academics. We know little more than the fact that they lived on Flores Island in Indonesia from approximately 700,000 years ago until around 50,000 years ago. The recently discovered stone tools, found on nearby Sulawesi Island, suggest that the “hobbits” may have used sea travel to migrate northward from Sulawesi to Flores, said Adam Brumm, professor of archaeology at Griffith University’s Australian Research Center for Human Evolution. However, the discovery is far from conclusive. The tools were found without Hominini fossils, so they could have been made by a completely different species. Knowledge about the capabilities and movement of other Hominini species helps researchers better understand human evolution.

Grey’s Anatomy star Camilla Luddington is sharing the startling symptoms that led to her diagnosis with an autoimmune disease. On the Call It What It Is podcast, Luddington, who portrays Dr. Jo Wilson on ABC’s long-running drama, revealed she has Hashimoto’s disease. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Hashimoto’s is a lifelong autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid gland, which is responsible for controlling the speed of your metabolism. In Hashimoto’s disease, the metabolism slows, causing symptoms that include fatigue, dry skin, slowed heart rate, weight gain, muscle and joint pain, and hair loss. “It can make you feel...tired and cold,” Luddington, 41, explains, noting that husband Matthew Alan would poke fun at her for having “like 40 blankets on me at night.” There were visible symptoms, too: Luddington recalls waking up to see that her “face and hands were really swollen.” It never crossed her mind that a medical reason could cause her symptoms, but she eventually mentioned feeling chronically tired to her physician. She had blood work done and finally received her diagnosis. The news came as a shock, followed by the relief of knowing the truth. “I was a little freaked out,” she said. “Then when they said it’s common, I was like, ‘That sucks but okay.’”

A U.S. embassy official in the Dominican Republic allegedly used his badge to sneak bricks of cocaine into New York by stuffing the drug inside duty-free Johnnie Walker whisky boxes, Marlboro cartons, and Choco Pie containers. Security guard Jairo Eliezer Arias Caceres, 35, allegedly recruited couriers, paid their flights, and shepherded the loads through checkpoints between April and December 2023 before Homeland Security agents arrested and extradited him from the Dominican Republic this week, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday in Manhattan. Arias Caceres now faces one count of conspiracy to import cocaine—a charge carrying a mandatory minimum of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison—after prosecutors blasted the plot as a stunning betrayal of public trust. “While Arias Caceres was supposed to be protecting our diplomats and embassy staff from danger, he was allegedly busy endangering New Yorkers by pumping illegal drugs into our community,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said in a release.

Eddie Palmieri, a legendary Latin jazz artist and salsa pioneer, died on Wednesday at 88. His daughter, Gabriela Palmieri, informed The New York Times that he passed after “an extended illness.” Palmieri is remembered as a firebrand experimentalist who fundamentally shaped Latin music during the golden age of salsa in the 1960s and ’70s. Palmieri was raised by Puerto Rican immigrants in the South Bronx, New York, and developed a passion for Afro-Caribbean dance music and jazz. Palmieri dropped out of high school and cut his teeth as a keyboardist and timbales drummer in the New York tropical club circuit. In 1961, he founded the band La Perfecta, where he blended salsa and Latin jazz with funk, psychedelia, and Puerto Rican folk music. Music critics credit his willingness to change traditional instrument lineups to save on expenses with his role in bringing salsa to new heights. Palmieri became the first Latino to earn a Grammy with his 1974 session, The Sun of Latin Music. He went on to win seven more. In 2013, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Latin Grammys and was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts. Palmieri is survived by his four daughters and four grandchildren.

Kelly Clarkson has interrupted her Las Vegas residency for the second time since it started last month after revealing her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock is suffering from serious health issues. Clarkson, who has two children—River, 10, and Remington, 8—with Blackstock, posted on Instagram to apologize for the cancelations, telling fans: “While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them. I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.” The singer canceled the first two shows of her residency at Caesars Palace on July 4, citing vocal problems, although a source told Page Six at the time that she was facing “hidden battles that very few people are privy to… it’s a source of emotional and therefore physical distress for her.” She also missed 10 episodes of her NBC talk show back in March, citing personal issues. Clarkson was married to Blackstock, her former manager, for seven years until she filed for divorce in 2020, later admitting that she “did not handle the divorce well.”
