The Bachelorette Australia star Konrad Bien-Stephen has died in Melbourne at the age of 35. “It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Konrad Bien-Stephen. We ask that you respect the privacy of his family during this incredibly difficult time,” his management wrote in a statement to Variety Australia about his death on Monday. His cause of death has not been released. “No further information will be shared at this stage,” the statement said. The Australian heartthrob appeared on Brooke Blurton’s 2021 season of The Bachelorette Australia, where he finished in fourth place. He continued his streak in reality TV, starring in the competition show The Challenge Australia in 2022. He was linked to media personality Abbie Chatfield for a short time following his stint on the dating show. She confirmed the 35-year-old’s death and honored her ex-boyfriend’s memory. “Konrad was such a kind man and sweet person to everyone. A very caring man who deserved to live a very, very long life. I am so heartbroken that he doesn’t get to do that,” she said on her Instagram story. Bien-Stephen was dating singer Thelma Plum prior to his death.

A 2,500-year-old golden helmet stolen in a brazen heist last year has finally been recovered. The priceless Cotofenesti helmet was swiped in January 2025 from the Drents Museum in the Netherlands by thieves who used firework bombs to gain entrance into the building. The priceless artifact, one of Romania’s most revered national treasures, has now been confirmed recovered at a Thursday press conference in the Dutch city of Assen. Art detective Arthur Brand said the recovery of the 2,500-year-old helmert is the “best news we could have got.” He added: “We were pretty sure it had not been melted down because there were only four days between the robbery and the arrests.” Three people are currently on trial for carrying out the raid at the museum and taking the ancient artifacts. Police are said to have tried to convince the suspects to reveal where they stash the helmet in exchange for a more lenient punishment. The helmet and golden bracelets taken during the raid were featured in an exhibition on the Dacians, a society that lived in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania thousands of years ago, before the Romans conquered them.

When I think of powder foundations, my mind immediately defaults to cakey, chalky, and textured finishes—the exact opposite of what most women over 35 are looking for in a complexion product. While they offer unparalleled staying power, traditional powder foundations have a reputation for emphasizing fine lines, clinging to dry patches, and making crepey skin look even more pronounced. But powder formulas have come a long way, and Laura Geller’s bestselling Balance-n-Brighten Baked Color-Correcting Foundation is living proof.

Founded by theatrical makeup artist Laura Geller in 1997, the brand has long been known for its focus on offering inclusive, skincare-infused makeup for mature skin (40+), though it’s developed a loyal following across all age groups. Its baked complexion products are among its most beloved thanks to their silky, cream-like finish. Unlike traditional pressed powders, Laura Geller’s baked formulas start as creams before being transformed into a velvety, demi-matte powder. The result is a lightweight, buildable formula that blurs the appearance of fine lines, texture, and pores without looking flat or overly matte. Instead, the self-adjusting pigments melt into the skin for a natural, second-skin finish and a subtle soft-focus effect.

Each formula in the baked collection (including the Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder Foundation) is handcrafted in Italy using the brand’s proprietary baking technique, in which pigments are baked on terracotta tiles for 24 hours. The process helps ensure the powder feels more like a cream when it hits the skin, minimizing the risk of creasing, caking, or settling into fine lines. Reviewers frequently note how silky it feels on the skin, with buildable coverage that helps conceal dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and redness while softening the look of lines. “Absolutely love this product, nice coverage feels really light on your skin. I’m always getting lovely compliments about my skin when I have used this product,” one 52-year-old reviewer said.

Many also admit they were hesitant to switch from liquid to powder—until they tried it. “I have been using Baked Balance-n-Brighten Correcting Foundation now for almost 3 years, and I will never go back to liquid foundation,” says another five-star reviewer. “I am continually being told how youthful my skin looks, which is fabulous at 65.” If you’re looking for a complexion enhancer that’s compact, mess-free, and capable of delivering natural-looking coverage with a touch of radiance (without caking, creasing, or settling), Laura Geller’s bestseller is well worth adding to your routine.

Tiger Woods has pulled himself out of contention to captain the next U.S. Ryder Cup team, a decision that comes as the professional golfer says he is taking a step back from the sport after his most recent DUI arrest. Woods, 50, a 15-time major winner, was arrested Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, after police say his driving caused a crash that overturned his Land Rover. While no injuries were reported, police said Woods appeared sluggish and had bloodshot, glassy eyes, leading them to charge him with driving under the influence. Investigators noted that opioid pain medication was also found in the vehicle. Woods said after the crash that he would be stepping away from golf to focus on treatment—something President Donald Trump has found the time to weigh in on. In a statement on Wednesday, the PGA of America confirmed Woods had informed officials he would not captain the Ryder Cup team in Ireland. “The PGA of America stands in full support of Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health and well-being,” the organization said.

Tiger Woods seemed caught off guard as he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following his latest vehicle crash last week. In police body camera footage released Tuesday, Woods said he was looking at his phone when his Land Rover hit the back of a truck and rolled over. “I looked down from my phone and all of a sudden: boom,” Woods said in the video. He later expressed astonishment that he was being arrested. “I’m being arrested?” Woods asked, to which the police officer responded: “Yes, sir.” The video also shows the officer discovering two white pills Woods had on him, which Woods said were “a Norco,” in reference to a painkiller that contains acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Woods admitted he takes “a few” prescriptions. Law enforcement later confirmed Woods was in possession of hydrocodone at the time of the incident. Woods, 50, was charged with a DUI and failure to submit a DUI test. A few hours after his not guilty plea, Woods said he would be “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment.”

A Massachusetts man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly threatening President Trump online repeatedly and brandishing a sword during a standoff with federal agents, authorities said. Andrew D. Emerald, 45, of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, faces eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications tied to multiple social media posts. Court documents say Emerald repeatedly threatened the president’s life, allegedly making posts in which he described using a sword and tracking Trump to his Florida home. One post read, “I have very good reason to threaten his life and to go after it.” FBI agents arrived at Emerald’s home Wednesday morning and used a battering ram after receiving no response. Emerald emerged holding a long sword, refusing to drop it and warning agents they would have to shoot him, authorities said. After a standoff, he surrendered, and authorities seized six blades, including two long swords. Emerald pleaded not guilty Wednesday and will remain in custody until a hearing Monday. Each charge carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Music producer Sidney “Omen” Brown died because of heart complications, the New York City Medical Examiner’s office has revealed. Brown was found dead in his East Harlem apartment on September 13, 2025. He was 49. The official cause was atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to NBC News. The condition is caused by plaque buildup and can narrow the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow through. His death was ruled as natural. Brown’s passing came as a shock to family and friends, with his sister Nicole Iris Brown, telling NBC News, “He was holistic and healthy. So we don’t know of him being sick, so this is all pretty sudden.” Brown was found by relatives after his colleagues alerted the family that he did not show up for a DJ shift. The Grammy-winning producer, who worked with music legends including Beyoncé, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, and Drake, was professionally known as “Omen.” Brown was credited in Beyoncé’s 2013 hit “Mine” as a lyricist, composer, and producer for the song. He produced Drake’s track “Shut It Down,” featured in the Canadian rapper’s 2010 debut album “Thank Me Later.” He was also credited as a producer on Ludacris’s song “Tell It Like It Is,” which was included in the artist’s Grammy-winning “Released Therapy” album.

A flight attendant was left seriously injured after a United Airlines flight experienced turbulence while flying over the Pacific Ocean. United Flight 115 was flying from San Francisco International Airport to Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, on Sunday when the incident occurred. The airline and federal investigators said the plane encountered “moderate turbulence” that resulted in one flight attendant suffering injuries. The extent of the injuries to the crew member is not known. United Airlines said that none of the passengers aboard the flight were injured. There were belived to be a total of 165 people aboard. The Boeing 787-9 plane, identified in a National Transportation Safety Board public docket as N23994, managed to safely continue the rest of its journey. Paramedics also treated the injured crew member once the plane landed. As noted by the San Fransico Chronicle, the Federal Aviation Administration states that flight attendants are more likely to be injured during periods of turbulence because they are often standing or moving through the cabin. The NTSB said they are investigating the incident.

A 194-year-old tortoise previously feared dead is still living, after a viral hoax duped several of the world’s major news outlets. Jonathan, who hatched roughly three decades before the American Civil War, was thought to have died after an X account claiming to be his veterinarian posted an emotional memorial message. “As his vet for many years, it was an honor to care for him – hand-feeding bananas, watching him bask in the sun and marveling at his quiet wisdom,“ the post reads. ”He leaves behind a legacy of resilience and longevity that inspired millions. Rest easy, old friend. You’ll be missed more than words can say.” This moving tribute fooled the journalists of the BBC, the Daily Mail, and USA Today. All three newsrooms falsely reported the death of the world’s oldest animal. Soon after, the truth spilled out. Not only does the veterinarian caring for Jonathan not use X, but the account posting the news was found to be asking for online “donations” in cryptocurrency. The tortoise himself, who lives on the remote British island of Saint Helena in the southern Atlantic Ocean, was unfazed by the drama, enjoying an 11-hour nap. To dispel all internet conspiracies, Jonathan’s caretakers posted a picture of the tortoise next to an iPad displaying Thursday’s BBC homepage.

If you rely on coffee for its focus-boosting powers but could do without the jitters, stomach flips, and inevitable mid-afternoon crash, it might be time to rethink what’s actually in your cup. Enter the new wave of functional blends that promise steady energy without the rollercoaster. My go-to functional coffee? Everyday Dose’s mushroom coffee. Yes, mushroom coffee isn’t exactly a novel concept.

If you’ve tried early iterations, you know the flavor could skew aggressively earthy—more forest floor than flat white. The category has evolved, and Everyday Dose is part of a newer class of brands prioritizing taste as much as function. The result is a brew that’s creamy, smooth, and convincingly coffee-forward, not overtly fungal.

The formula pairs real coffee with nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms traditionally associated with cognitive support and stress modulation, plus grass-fed collagen for added protein and skin-supporting benefits. Instead of triggering your nervous system, the blend is designed to promote more sustained, even energy—think clear-headed focus without the wired feeling or abrupt crash.

Beyond energy, Everyday Dose leans into the ritual aspect. It dissolves easily, has a naturally mellow finish, and doesn’t require masking with syrups or heavy cream to make it palatable. Plus, for those with sensitive stomachs, many people find mushroom-forward blends easier on digestion than high-acid traditional brews.

Of course, it’s still coffee (you’ll get the caffeine you’re drinking it for—don’t worry), but the added functional ingredients appear to soften the sharper edges of the experience. The net effect feels less like a caffeine spike and more like a steady hum. Precisely what I need in 2026.

For anyone curious about upgrading their morning ritual without giving up the comfort (or flavor) of a proper cup, Everyday Dose makes a strong case that functional coffee has officially grown up.

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell appears to have been caught on camera shouting a homophobic slur in an argument. Cell-phone footage shows the 51-year-old musician confronting a man on a Florida beach, who TMZ identified as Kyle Gallagher. The clip, obtained by the Florida Panhandle news station WMBB, bleeps out swear words, but People notes that Littrell appeared to say, “You want to be gay? Want to be a f-----?” TMZ reports that Littrell submitted the video himself in a bid to press criminal charges against Gallagher for battery, but prosecutors said the footage backed up Gallagher’s version of events. An affidavit said that Gallagher “was belligerent and disturbing the peace,” but Walton County Deputy Chief Assistant State Attorney Josh Mitchell declined to press charges because there was a “lack of criminal intent.” The Daily Beast has reached out to Littrell for comment.

Sinners star Hailee Steinfeld has welcomed her first baby with her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. “Our baby girl has arrived!! We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savoring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes,” Steinfeld wrote to her Substack followers on Thursday in a post titled “Special Delivery.” Steinfeld first announced her pregnancy in December in a video placed at the end of her weekly newsletter celebrating her 29th birthday. Allen, also 29, and Steinfeld then made a joint announcement in an Instagram post. The power couple, who married last spring, has been very candid about their excitement. “This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, being a dad,” Allen said during a January press conference, saying that the experience will take precedence over his football career. Steinfeld has been keeping people updated via Substack. “While tuning in, I’ve experienced this surreal, full-body awareness that our world is about to expand in beautiful ways,” she said in a February post. “We’re getting ready to meet someone we already love so much.” The couple did not immediately release the child’s name.
