Nepo Baby Actor-Musician Cancels Tour Over Dismal Ticket Sales

Actor-turned-musician Kiefer Sutherland is apologizing to American fans for canceling a planned concert tour promoting his fourth album, Grey, because of lackluster ticket sales. The news comes on the heels of a successful European tour by the two-time Emmy winner. The 24 star called his latest album his “most personal yet.“ ”With great disappointment I am going to have to cancel the U.S. leg of my tour due to very low ticket sales,” Sutherland, 59, wrote in an Instagram post. “I don’t think it’s fair to the people who have bought tickets, or the venues, to play to half empty houses.” Sutherland, who is the son of the late actor Donald Sutherland, said he looks forward to touring the U.S. in the future “at a more suitable time.” He also noted that ticket purchases will be refunded. “I hope you understand,” he added.

Alex Murdaugh’s legal team is already mapping out its strategy for a second shot at trial after a South Carolina judge overturned the disbarred lawyer’s double murder conviction. Murdaugh, 57, was convicted in 2023 of killing his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and their 22-year-old son, Paul Murdaugh, in 2021. But in a 5-0 ruling on Wednesday, the court declared that former Colleton County clerk Rebecca Hill improperly influenced jurors while promoting her book, Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders. Now, defense attorney Jim Griffin says the retrial will zero in on evidence he claims investigators either ignored or failed to properly pursue. Speaking to NewsNation on Thursday, Griffin pointed to unidentified male DNA allegedly found beneath Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails that he says was never entered into CODIS, the national law enforcement DNA database. The defense also plans to revisit tire marks found leaving the crime scene that Griffin claims investigators never followed and instead “trampled over.” He further blasted the coroner’s estimated timeline of death, mocking the process as placing “his thumb under the armpits of Maggie and Paul to guesstimate what time of death it was.” Despite the overturned conviction, Murdaugh remains in prison, where he is serving a 40-year federal prison sentence and a concurrent 27-year state sentence for financial crimes.

While the research was observational rather than clinical, the consistency of responses echoed what many customers report anecdotally: Kava Haven can promote a sense of calm while serving as a satisfying alternative to alcohol.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is apparently America’s new fast food ambassador. The Fox News host-turned-U.S. ambassador to Greece (with a stint as Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée in between) turned up at a McDonald’s ribbon-cutting in Athens this week, hailing the chain as a delivery system for “American culture.” “American businesses investing here create jobs and bring American culture—and delicious food—to the Greek people,” Guilfoyle wrote in a post on Threads alongside photos from the event. She also called it “the most technologically advanced McDonald’s in all of Europe.” Photos showed Guilfoyle posing beneath the golden arches with executives before taking part in a glossy photo shoot surrounded by McDonald’s branding. The spectacle quickly drew attention because of President Donald Trump’s legendarily enthusiastic relationship with the fast food giant. Trump has long treated McDonald’s as part of his personal brand, once even serving fast food at the White House during his first term and staging a campaign stunt working the fryer at a Pennsylvania franchise during the 2024 election. Now, as ambassador to Greece, Guilfoyle appears to be redefining American soft power—one burger and fry at a time.

Claudine Longet, the French pop singer whose career became overshadowed by a deadly Olympic scandal, has died at 84. Her nephew, Bryan Longet, announced the death in a heartfelt social media tribute, writing: “You have been a true inspiration in my life and you will always be... another star in the sky. Thank you for everything, my aunt.” Longet first found fame in the 1960s with soft pop albums like Claudine and songs including “Nothing to Lose.” But her name became permanently linked to the 1976 shooting death of 31-year-old Olympic skier Vladimir “Spider” Sabich. The Olympian was fatally shot once with a Luger pistol at the couple’s Aspen, Colorado home, and died en route to the hospital alongside Longet. The singer maintained the shooting was accidental and happened while Sabich was showing her the gun. Longet was ultimately convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to 30 days in jail, two years’ probation, and a $250 fine. Following the scandal, Longet briefly reunited with her ex-husband Andy Williams, who helped cover her legal expenses. The former couple shared three children together.

Unless you’ve got the memory of an elephant, taking notes is a must. Remarkable has built a name for itself with innovative tablets that cut out distracting apps and focus on productivity. In fact, a study by Remarkable found that users experience 35 percent less stress and 20 percent more focus when using a paper tablet compared with working on a PC. Today, the brand is unveiling a new offering—the Remarkable Paper Pure.

The new 10.3-inch model is a marked improvement in every way. The battery is longer lasting (up to three weeks on a single charge), it features a crisper black-and-white canvas display, and it is 50 percent faster than the Remarkable 2. Like its predecessor, writing on the Remarkable Pure Paper is, well, remarkable. It feels just like writing on paper with the digital ink appearing in as little as 21 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye.

Former NFL player Josh Mauro overdosed from a combination of fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol, a preliminary medical examiner’s report obtained by the California Post has revealed. Mauro, 35, died on April 23, his father Greg announced in a heartbreaking Facebook post. “With many tears and broken hearts, yet anchored in the unshakable certainty that our precious Josh Mauro is now healed and made new—living in the presence of the Lord—we humbly covet your prayers as our family walks through the devastating loss of our amazing son, brother, uncle, grandson, and friend,” he wrote. Now, the Post writes that an autopsy in Phoenix, Arizona, determined that his manner of death was accidental due to “acute combined fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol intoxication.” Mauro was born in the U.K. but moved to Texas when he was three. He starred at his suburban Dallas high school and went on to play at Stanford University. He then played seven seasons in the NFL, including four with the Arizona Cardinals, before ultimately retiring after the 2021 season.

Al Robertson, son of Phil and Miss Kay Robertson from Duck Dynasty, is opening up about his wife Lisa’s affair. In a promotional interview for their forthcoming documentary Faith & Forgiveness, Robertson, 61, is revealing how, despite his wife’s cheating 15 years into their marriage, he believes infidelity doesn’t need to end in divorce. “I think the reason I was willing to fight for my marriage was that I had made a lot of mistakes on my own,” he admitted. “When I first met Lisa, she was actually a good girl, who had experienced some hard things in her life up until that point, but really was looking for what she called her ‘knight in shining armor,’ someone to take her hand and lead her out of some things. And I just wasn’t that guy in the early years.” Robertson detailed that while he found work as a pastor, Lisa, 60, was left at home, which he called “a huge mistake.” “What changed my mind and heart about Lisa was her,” he said. “It was obvious to me from talking to friends who were with her that she wanted this marriage to stay together. She was very sorry for what had happened.”

The infamous Kars4Kids jingle may finally be disappearing from California airwaves. A judge has permanently barred the nonprofit from broadcasting its catchy “1-877-Kars4Kids” ads in the state unless the commercials clearly disclose where donation money actually goes. The ruling stems from a lawsuit brought by California resident Bruce Puterbaugh, who donated his 2001 Volvo to the charity before later claiming he felt misled by the organization’s advertising. Puterbaugh argued the commercials gave the impression that proceeds benefited underprivileged children broadly across California and the U.S., without mentioning the charity’s ties to Orthodox Jewish educational programs primarily based in New York and New Jersey. The court ultimately sided with Puterbaugh, finding the omission amounted to deceptive advertising. The lawsuit accused the organization of primarily using donated funds to help finance trips to Israel and other programs for Orthodox Jewish teens rather than the broader children’s causes many donors may have assumed they were supporting. The judge also ordered Kars4Kids to reimburse Puterbaugh $250 for his donated vehicle along with covering legal costs.

A sixth diver escaped death in the Maldives only because she chose not to enter the water, as investigators piece together what killed her five Italian colleagues in an underwater cave. The survivor, a student at the University of Genoa, remained aboard the yacht as her companions descended into the caves of Vaavu Atoll. She is now returning to Italy. The five who dived never resurfaced. One body has been recovered from inside a cave; authorities believe the remaining four are in the same cavern. The victims include marine biologist and University of Genoa professor Monica Montefalcone, 51, and her 22-year-old daughter Giorgia Sommacal, along with colleagues Muriel Oddenino, 31, Gianluca Benedetti, 44, and Federico Gualtieri, 31. Montefalcone’s husband, Carlo Sommacal, said his wife was an “expert” diver and “never reckless.” “Something happened down there,” he said. Investigators are examining several potential causes. There was no local guide accompanying the group, as required by Maldivian law, and it remains unclear whether the divers used a safety rope—mandatory in certain caves—to navigate the underwater cavern. Police have not ruled out oxygen toxicity, poor visibility caused by bad weather, or panic triggering fatal errors. Local officials called it the worst single diving accident in the nation’s history.

A five-month investigation has revealed the names of 13 victims of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s airstrikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. The Trump administration is thought to have killed almost 200 people in what it has described as an effort to stop “narco-terrorists” from bringing drugs into the U.S. The report, the work of 20 journalists at the Latin American Center for Investigative Journalism, revealed that the 13 came from poor backgrounds across the Caribbean and Latin America. CLIP co-founder María Teresa Ronderos said, “What is actually happening is that young people living in extremely precarious conditions, doing whatever work they can to support their families, are being targeted.” “There are communities where they stopped fishing for several weeks—and if they do that, people go hungry—because they were terrified of being bombed.” She said the report shows “that these were flesh-and-blood people.” Three were already identified after their families sued the White House. Eight victims were Venezuelan, three Colombian, two Ecuadorian, two Trinidadian, and one Saint Lucian. Their names were Juan Carlos Fuentes, Luis Ramón Amundarain, Eduard Hidalgo, Dushak Milovcic, Robert Sánchez, Jesús Carreño, Eduardo Jaime, Luis Alí Martínez, Alejandro Andrés Carranza Medina, Ronald Arregocés, Adrián Lubo, Pedro Ramón Holguín Holguín, Carlos Manuel Rodríguez Solórzano, Chad Joseph, Rishi Samaroo, and Ricky Joseph.

Charlie Neal, the pioneering broadcaster credited with helping bring HBCU sports into the mainstream, died on Wednesday at 80. ESPN confirmed Neal’s death on Thursday in a tribute honoring the longtime announcer’s impact on Black college athletics. “Neal’s long career helped elevate #HBCU football & basketball on television,” the network wrote on X, noting he also called the first college football game ever aired on ESPNU when the channel launched in 2005. Before joining ESPN, Neal spent 24 years at BET, arriving in 1980, and eventually became the network’s lead play-by-play announcer and executive producer for sports. Neal once shared, the network “gave me a platform to expose, tell the stories and bring to the forefront what’s happening around historically Black colleges and universities as far as athletics is concerned.” Before BET’s rise, he noted, HBCU athletics rarely received national television exposure outside occasional games involving popular programs like Grambling State Tigers. For his decades-long contributions to sports media, Neal was inducted into the MEAC Hall of Fame, CIAA Hall of Fame, and the Black College Football Hall of Fame. He is survived by his wife and their three children.
