Alan Greenspan, the economist who led the Federal Reserve through five terms under four U.S. presidents and helped shape American economic policy for decades, has died at the age of 100. His wife, NBC News chief Washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his death in a statement, saying he died Monday at their home from complications of Parkinson’s disease. “He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes,” Mitchell, 79, said. Greenspan served as Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve from 1987, when he was first appointed by President Ronald Reagan, to 2006, making him one of the longest-serving central bankers in modern U.S. history. He presided over several major economic events that helped shape modern American capitalism, including Black Monday and the rise of the internet. But critics say his support for financial deregulation helped set the stage for the 2007–08 global financial crisis. Beyond Greenspan’s public life, Mitchell, his wife of 29 years, described him as a devoted partner. “To me he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984,” she said. “He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness. Being his life partner was the joy of my life.”
Quentin Tarantino is stepping in front of the camera for a new project opposite Australian pop star Kylie Minogue. Jamie Adams, a new-wave-inspired filmmaker and former collaborator, will direct the film titled Tangled Up in Blue. The auteur cold-pitched the role to Tarantino, 63, via email and was surprised to receive a response from the famed director’s agent. “I sent him the story outline and a letter. I was just very honest about believing in him as an actor,” Adams told Variety. “I didn’t think I’d hear back. But two weeks later, on a Sunday, his agent emailed saying Quentin was intrigued and wanted a Zoom.” After a lengthy conversation, which the Welsh director described as “Disneyland for filmmakers,” Tarantino was on board. The Visor Entertainment production will also star Jason Isaacs, Allison Williams, Sofia Boutella, and RZA alongside Tarantino and Minogue. The star-studded cast was seen filming on the Welsh coast earlier this week. Minogue, 58, who started her career acting in the Australian TV soap Neighbors, has popped up in movies over the years, including Moulin Rouge, Street Fighter, Bio-Dome and San Andreas.

The hugely influential music mogul Clive Davis has died at 94. Davis shaped the music that defined culture for decades, masterminding the careers of stars such as Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Alicia Keys, and many more. His family confirmed his death to the New York Times. Davis had been hospitalized for upper respiratory issues in late May. It is unclear if his passing was related to his earlier health problems. The Brooklyn native began his career in the music industry in the legal department at Columbia Records at age 28. He quickly made a name for himself, becoming president just seven years later in 1967. Davis revolutionized the label by signing artists like Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, and Aerosmith. He was dismissed from the company in 1973 for alleged misuse of company funds, after which he started his own record company, Arista. The new venture shook the industry after Davis signed Whitney Houston at just 19. Davis was responsible for greenlighting the iconic song “I Will Always Love You,” in the form that’s still played by millions today. In his later years with Arista, he launched the careers of Combs, Keys, and others. Before his death, he was best known for his star-studded Grammy parties, attended annually by music industry legends, CEOs, and world leaders. Davis is survived by his four children, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and his partner, Greg Schriefer.
Emmy-winning anchor Dustin Nolan resigned on-air from his role at KWQC in an emotional live testimony during Friday morning’s broadcast. “Today is my last day here at KWQC TV Six,” the broadcaster said. “I promise you I have given you everything I have.” While there has been no official confirmation of his reason for resignation, it is widely speculated that the anchor resigned to advocate for more accurate journalism. “I believe that we as a local news station have to be more than trends or sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable,” which has gained the most attention from other news outlets and social media, Nolan said. “It’s too bad that we have to lose honest journalists because we’re losing our freedom of speech,” one user said in a comment on X. Before joining KWQC, the Catholic St. Ambrose University alum worked as a Sports Reporter for WQAD News 8 and as a reporter and anchor at WHBF-TV. He later joined the Iowa-based news outlet, where he worked alongside his wife, Jenna Jackson, with whom he shared his tear-jerking delivery, paying tribute to her as “the greatest co-anchor in life.” Nolan admitted tearfully that the “hardest part” of this decision was knowing he would no longer share the news desk with Jackson. KWQC is yet to comment on his resignation.

Getting solid sleep feels like a real luxury these days. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, if you’ve been struggling with getting shut-eye, you’re not alone. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 73 percent of respondents reported getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night, and 57 percent said they would feel better if they got more sleep.
Whether prescription or over-the-counter, most sleep aids can help you knock out, but often come with less-than-ideal side effects, such as next-morning grogginess and brain fog. CBDistillery’s sleep gummies help you get to sleep without the side effects.
Unlike standard cannabis gummies, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies combine three types of cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming, sleep-supporting properties). CBDistillery’s bestselling gummies combine 5mg of Delta-9 THC, 75mg of CBD, and 15mg of CBN for full-body relaxation without feeling dissociated, starving, or overly... giggly.
If you prefer to stay THC-free, the brand’s Sound Sleep gummies skip it entirely, containing only 50mg of CBN in a delish black cherry flavor.
The former New York mansion estate of fashion icon Calvin Klein is on the market for an eye-watering $165 million. Were it to fetch its staggering asking price, it would eclipse the previous record set for a property sale in the Hamptons. Klein sold the plush seven-bedroom, 9,000-square-foot main house along with the corresponding estate for $85 million back in 2021, and its current owner has since carried out a major renovation that has helped its price balloon. If they can shift it, it will become the most expensive pad in the coveted area, surpassing the $137 million sale in 2014 of an East Hampton property to hedge fund goliath Barry Rosenstein. The former Klein house was built for famed attorney Henry A. James, the Daily Mail reports. It comes with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Georgica Pond. “We generally don’t get properties with this type of acreage and an additional buildable oceanfront lot, Ed Petrie, of real estate firm Compass, told the Mail. “That’s part of the reason for the price tag.”
Elon Musk fell into a trap of his own making after making a brag about a major internet outage. The world’s richest man used his social media platform X to show that it was still working despite a major, far-reaching internet blackout. “X still works,” he said amid the chaos caused by outages reported in Europe and in the U.S. on major platforms such as Amazon Web Services (including Prime Video and Alexa), Roblox, several banks, Reddit, and Snapchat. But Musk’s platform soon joined the others, with data from Down Detector noting that at around 9.45 a.m., there were 584 problems reported on X. Just 15 minutes later, that number had risen to 35,659, Forbes reports. About half of the reported problems were for people using the mobile app. Some reported that the program wouldn’t load, while others said that key features were offline for them, the New York Post reported. According to Variety, at the peak of the outage, Down Detector flagged more than 4 million reports across 500 companies.
Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, appears to have made his new romance Instagram-official just weeks before his son and pop star Taylor Swift’s rumored wedding at Madison Square Garden. The 75-year-old shared a photo of his alleged girlfriend at a Philadelphia bar on Saturday in a post captioned, “With the dynamic and gorgeous Doree Hepner at 118 North, listening to York Street Hustle: their Summer Soul(stice) show.” The Kelce patriarch was previously married to Donna Kelce for nearly 25 years, with whom he raised NFL stars Travis and Jason. Most recently, Ed was linked to Maureen Maguire, who passed away in August 2025 at age 74. News of this romance arrives as speculation swirls that Swift and the younger Kelce recently celebrated their bachelorette and bachelor parties on Friday, after being seen in separate, conspicuous gatherings with close friends. The ultra-famous couple is reportedly planning to marry on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, with stars like Zoë Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid expected to attend.
Around two million bees have accidentally been set free after a truck carrying them overturned. The 18-wheeler was hauling hives in Mauriceville, Texas, when it tipped over on a corner and spilled its 50,000-pound load of insects. The truck driver was uninjured during the crash and subsequent chaos, but KFDM-TV in Beaumont reported that its photographer was stung while gathering images at the scene. Orange County Emergency Services District 4 issued a warning to people in the local area, telling them to stay indoors. The force said that work was underway to move the bugs from the stricken truck and onto a new transport. Texas-based bee store Queen Bee Supply LLC said that it called in a coalition of beekeepers, both amateur and professional, to recover the massive swarm. “Not something you ever want to see, but so nice to see beekeepers helping beekeepers,” the retailer said. “From commercial outfits to backyard beekeepers, grateful for everyone that came out and helped!” “We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as crews work to safely resolve this incident,” Orange County ESD #4 wrote in a statement.

With so many different over-the-counter sleep remedies on the market, it’s hard to distinguish which ones (if any) actually work. If you’ve had little to no luck with other natural and over-the-counter sleep aids, consider giving Deeps Sleep Patches a try. The scientist-formulated patches are designed to be placed on your wrist before you get ready to go to sleep and be forgotten about from there.
The patches are infused with several calming ingredients, including Shoden ashwagandha and melatonin, formulated to help improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythm. Once the patch is placed on your wrist, the active layer slowly releases the Deeps formula into your body through your skin. Deeps Sleep Patches have proven to me that it doesn’t always require taking heavy medication like sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep (for me). Read my full review of Deeps Sleep Patches here.
Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer and her new fiancé announced the birth of their daughter on Sunday. In a post shared on her Instagram, the mother of three celebrated Father’s Day with her and Ogunlesi’s first child. “A perfect month with our perfect baby girl. We love you the most @geoffo212💫 Happy Father’s Day♥️,” the post reads. The jewelry designer, 49, and ex-wife of the Spider-Man star has shared her journey through pregnancy via a series of baby-bump photos posted to her Instagram over the past six months. After her 2020 divorce, Meyer went on the Broad Ideas podcast in 2024 to seek advice from Gwyneth Paltrow on co-parenting. “How can we come together for [these] human[s] we both created that we love? What do we do?” However, it seems that Meyer and Maguire have managed to maintain a positive relationship, with Meyer calling her ex, with whom she has a 19 and 16-year-old, the “jackpot of ex-husbands,” according to Page Six. The two divorced during the pandemic after nine years of marriage and four years of separation. Meyer, who began her relationship with Ogunlesi in the summer of 2023 and was engaged in 2024, announced her pregnancy in December 2025 with a post that reads, “Hey baby girl 🥰 We love love love you!!🩷” Ogunlesi is the founder and CEO of Ogunlesi Group, an entertainment management company.
A grandmother was killed when a Tesla in self-driving mode veered off a Texas road and slammed into her home as she stood in her front room. Martha Avila, 76, was inside her house in Katy, Texas, about 30 miles west of Houston, when the car came barreling through her brick wall on Friday night. The driver, Michael Butler, was behind the wheel of a Tesla Model 3 and using “an automated driving assistance system” at around 8 p.m. local time, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement reported by The New York Times. Butler “failed to drive in a single lane, left the roadway and struck the residence,” the sheriff’s office said. The car “entered through the brick residence at a high rate of speed” and hit Avila, who was rushed to a hospital by medical helicopter and was later pronounced dead. Butler showed no signs of intoxication and cooperated with investigators. “We’re still evaluating what caused that car to fail to control its speed just before this crash,” Sgt. Alex Turman of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told ABC13 Houston. In 2023, Tesla recalled more than 2 million vehicles after federal regulators said the company had not done enough to ensure drivers stayed attentive while using the autopilot function. A GoFundMe set up in Avila’s name had raised more than $23,000 at the time of publication.
