Grammy-Winning Superstar, 40, Welcomes First Child

Lady Gaga is enjoying some quiet time with her Baby Gaga. Page Six is reporting that the 40-year-old music superstar has welcomed her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky, 42, and they’ve got the pictures to prove it. Shortly after posting the news that the 16-time Grammy winner had welcomed a child into their growing family, the outlet shared exclusive photos of Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) and Polansky walking in Northern California with the newborn. The Oscar winner was last spotted in public a month ago, again in Northern California, where she took a selfie with a fan. Neither she nor her entrepreneur fiancé has shared any details about the child, but Gaga has been very open about her desire to become a mom. In a New York Times interview published in March 2025, she said, “I’m excited to be a mom. I used to have a lot of apprehension about it. The thing that’s the most important to me is to not force my children to live a life that they are not choosing. So the more that we can give them space to discover who they are on their own, that’s the thing that I believe in the most.” The Daily Beast has reached out to Lady Gaga’s representative for comment.

A flight carrying actor Andrew Garfield had to make an emergency landing because of a concerning smell coming from the cockpit. The Spider-Man and The Social Network star was flying from Los Angeles to New York City on Wednesday when the crew noticed an “electrical odor.” The Delta Boeing 767 diverted and landed safely at Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico. Garfield was not the only celebrity on the cross-country flight. Adults star Owen Thiele also detailed the emergency landing in a series of posts on Instagram. “Andrew Garfield on my flight.” Thiele posted while sharing a selfie. “If plane went down it would’ve said Andrew Garfield and others. Nick Robinson here too. Andrew Garfield, Nick Robinson and others.” Thiele also shared how he spent his time in Albuquerque while he was waiting for a new flight. Love Island USA castmate Dylan Wrona, singer Mark Ambor and actor Nick Robinson were also on the flight that diverted to Albuquerque. In a statement, Delta apologized to its customers and said the plane was diverted due to a “smoky odor.” The airline said it would work quickly to “accommodate customers as quickly as possible to their final destinations.”

Princess Astrid of Norway passed away on Friday at the age of 94, the Royal Palace said in a statement. Astrid was the older sister of Norway’s long-serving King Harald, who died in August after over 35 years on the throne. His funeral was held on Wednesday. He was 89-years-old. He was succeeded by King Haakon VIII, his second-born, but only son. “Throughout her ​long ​life, ⁠Princess Astrid represented the Royal ​House in ​a ⁠warm and dutiful manner,” the new king said in the statement. The princess will be buried at state expense and flags will be flown at half-mast across Norway, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said. Astrid was the last surviving child of King Olav V, who reigned from 1957 to 1991. She took on the role of First Lady at the age of 22 in 1954 when her mother died, and held it until her brother married in 1968. The statement did not provide a cause of death but Astrid’s health had deteriorated recently, and in March she was hospitalized with pneumonia.

A woman who was once tipped as a contender to become the next British queen has passed away aged 75 after a brief illness. Davina Morley, whose grandfather was prominent Scottish industrialist Lord Harry McGowan, dated King Charles III, then Prince of Wales, in 1976. The prince was said at the time to have been smitten with her. She won the royal family’s approval, but the relationship didn’t last after an ex-boyfriend revealed they had previously shared a home, an obstacle considered unassailable at the time. Morley was heartbroken by the split but soon found what friends and royal correspondents have described as the “love of her life” in Jake Morley, who she married in 1981, the same year as Charles married Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. Davina and Jake Morley had three sons—Thomas, Dominic, and Sebastian—who were by her bedside when she passed earlier this month and who now survive both her and their father, who died in 2022 at the age of 80.

Police in Thailand have arrested a Buddhist monk accused of stealing $3 million from his monastery and breaking his vow of celibacy with a female associate, who has also been detained. Phra Wachirayan Wi, who previously worked as an abbot at Wat Phutthaisaan in Ayutthaya, allegedly amassed the amount over a period of two years by taking donations meant for the temple. During their investigation, police say they found a video of him having sex with a woman on a dining table. He has been defrocked and has yet to comment on the allegations. His female associate, Punyavee Rungrueang, has also not spoken publicly about her arrest. Thailand’s Buddhist monk community has been repeatedly rocked by cases of monks having sex and engaging in criminal activity like drug trafficking and financial fraud. Police were driven last year to set up a hotline so that people could report instances of monks “misbehaving” after a case saw at least nine monks blackmailed for almost $12 million by a woman who had secretly taped herself having sex with them.

Police in Japan have arrested two American women accused of smuggling roughly $1 million worth of cannabis into the country. The pair, both 25, flew into Tokyo’s Haneda airport from New York last Saturday with two suitcases containing what police described as “cannabis-like dried plants” hidden inside. Local television aired footage of the seizure, showing more than a dozen packages of the alleged drugs. Japan enforces some of the world’s toughest anti-drug laws, and smuggling convictions can carry lengthy prison sentences. The dried cannabis weighed about 66 pounds and was valued near $970,000, according to media reports. One suspect told police, “I was attracted by the fact I could go to Japan for free.” The other denies knowing about the drugs, saying she “didn’t know that cannabis was inside” the suitcase. Police said the women “conspired with someone else whose name is unknown,” claiming they took instructions from a man they met online but never in person. They face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $19,500 if convicted of smuggling for profit.

A horse in southern Texas has become the first documented U.S. equine case of the New World screwworm, as officials scramble to contain the spread of the flesh-eating parasite. The pest turned up on the hind limb of a working ranch horse in Presidio County, according to a statement from the U.S. Equestrian Foundation. The screwworm, a fly larva that burrows into and feeds on open wounds, had been eradicated in the United States decades ago before resurfacing in June on a calf near the border. Since then, an infestation has torn through Mexico. “Check horses daily, keep wounds clean and covered as directed by your veterinarian, use veterinarian-recommended fly control products and limit fly access with physical barriers such as fly masks, sheets and clean stabling practices when appropriate,” the foundation said. The Texas Animal Health Commission has restricted animal movement out of infested zones. Of 49 U.S. cases this year, all but one, a dog in New Mexico, have been in Texas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster in June. The Trump administration has since opened a sterile fly dispersal facility to fight the outbreak.

Archaeologists have uncovered an ancient mausoleum in Peru containing 38 bodies and scores of artifacts, in what one researcher called the “discovery of the decade.” The roughly 600-year-old tomb was found at Chan Chan, the former capital of the Chimú kingdom, where archaeologists had never before found an undisturbed elite burial chamber. The mausoleum remained sealed despite centuries of conquest and looting. Researchers made the discovery painstakingly, removing sand and debris from the entrance inch by inch. After clearing about 16 inches, they shone a flashlight inside and saw funerary bundles still intact. “In that moment we realized that the chamber had not been looted,” said Jorge Meneses, the archaeologist leading the excavation. The site has since yielded jewelry, weapons, heavy beads and a wooden chest containing colorful textiles decorated with seabirds and monkeys. Some remains also had red pigment on their bones, which researchers said may be the mineral cinnabar. Gabriel Prieto, an anthropology professor at the University of Florida who was not involved in the excavation, called it “the discovery of the decade,” saying it was the first time archaeologists had been able to examine an elite Chimú burial at Chan Chan. The excavation is ongoing, and researchers hope the tomb will shed new light on the Chimú and their encounters with the expanding Inca Empire.

Whether CBD or THC, most cannabis products (including gummies) are usually associated with stimulating your appetite (aka giving you “the munchies”) and promoting relaxation—and, with some strains, even sleep. If you’ve ever wanted the mood-boosting benefits of cannabis sans the snacking and napping, THCV, an under-the-radar cannabinoid known for its potentially energizing effects, may be just what you’re looking for.

According to TribeTokes, a women-owned cannabis brand, THCV may not only help support focus, energy, and alertness but could also have the opposite effect on appetite as traditional THC. While THC activates receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system associated with hunger, THCV interacts with these receptors differently and is being studied for its possible appetite-regulating effects. In other words, it may offer a gentle mood and energy lift without the usual snack attacks.

TribeTokes’ THCV-powered Fit & Focused gummies contain zero traditional THC, so you can even take one pre-workout for a subtle energy boost instead of reaching for a sugary energy drink or pricey latte. Each strawberry-flavored gummy is packed with 15 milligrams of THCV, 20 milligrams of CBG (a cannabinoid associated with focus and a balanced mood), and 15 milligrams of CBD to round out the formula. Together, this cannabinoid trifecta supports steady energy, focus, and mood without leaving you feeling jittery, “out of it,” or ready to raid the snack drawer.

Plus, because they’re caffeine-free, you don’t have to worry about the jitters or inevitable crash that can come with another cup of coffee or a standard energy supplement. Whether you take one before a workout or when you need to power through an afternoon slump, the Fit & Focused THCV Gummies are basically the antithesis of your stereotypical cannabis gummy.

A researcher has found the giant 10,000-year-old tooth of an extinct Ice Age mammal. Geomorphologist Brigid Lynch was conducting field studies in San Mateo County in California in June when she found what appeared to be an oddly shaped rock nestled in the dirt, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District said on Wednesday. Instead, what she found was a molar from a Pacific mastodon, a hairy ancestor of today’s elephant that used to roam the West Coast during the Pleistocene epoch. That period began around 2.5 million years ago and ended just 11,700 years ago. “As a geologist, I’ve gone out and seen stuff in the field, but definitely nothing as exciting as this,” Lynch said. “The tooth itself is in immaculate condition. It’s the most complete mastodon molar from our area, and the most spectacular mastodon molar that I’ve ever seen,” Pacific Paleontology owner and paleontologist Wayne Thompson said. “I had chills and shivers up and down my spine,’ he added. ‘It’s another puzzle in the Ice Age saga that we can put into place.”

A desperate newlywed from upstate New York has made an emotional public plea for her missing husband to come home. Julianna Zyra, 33, appeared on News 10 to make the heartbreaking appeal to her husband, Dominick Bianchi, 35, who was reported missing after last being seen Tuesday at their East Greenbush home, near Albany. “I know you feel really alone, but … If you’re seeing this, please, come home,” said Zyra, who wed Bianchi a few months earlier. Zyra said he left behind his car, phone and wallet at their home, and she’s concerned that he does not have his insulin for his Type 1 diabetes. “He has a continuous glucose monitor, which is paired to his phone that he doesn’t have,” Zyra said. Prior to his disappearance, he had been battling mental health issues, she said. “He has been struggling mentally for quite some time, and nobody really knows about it,” she said. Zyra also spoke directly to the public in her interview, saying people should stop “hypothesizing things that happened.” “He’s very sick and he is not in the right headspace,” she said. Bianchi was reportedly wearing black sweatpants and a black long-sleeve shirt when he disappeared, though Zyra believes he may have since changed clothes after finding black clothing in the couple’s laundry.
