‘Today’ Show Host’s Husband Speaks Out Amid Mother-in-Law’s Disappearance

The husband of Today show host Savannah Guthrie is speaking out for the first time since the disappearance of his mother-in-law, Nancy Guthrie. Michael Feldman, 57, told Page Six that he has tried to be “responsive” throughout the investigation but feels he has been “mostly unhelpful” since the 84-year-old vanished from her Tucson home over the weekend. He added that he does not “have anything new to report” at this stage. He also thanked the media for their “thoughtfulness” during this difficult time for the family. The family grew concerned on Sunday after a member of Nancy’s church alerted them that she had not attended services as expected. The family then went to check Nancy’s home, where she lives alone, and called 911. The Today show host addressed the situation in an emotional Instagram post on Monday, expressing appreciation for the outpouring of support she has received. “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy,” she wrote, urging the public to help “bring her home.” The Daily Beast has reached out to Savannah Guthrie, 54, for comment.

A top restaurant in the United Kingdom saw its health rating take a hit after a food inspector made a shocking discovery on its premises. The Royal Native Oyster Stores, which appeared in the Michelin guide, had its hygiene rating downgraded to two stars after an inspector stumbled on a “foul-smelling” bucket of fish waste and other concerning issues during a visit in September, the Independent reported. The inspection at the restaurant in Whitstable, on the coast of Kent, also found flies on the countertops used for food preparation, as well on the cooks’ tools. The inspector also noted a lack of food safety credentials among staff, saying pointedly, “At the time of inspection, I was unable to see any evidence of formal food safety training amongst the chefs.” Further issues included dirt caked on the cutlery trays, the crushed ice machine and other equipment. Alongside major contamination concerns, the inspector found parts of the building in disrepair, including missing ceilings and severe damage to the walls and flooring. In light of the findings, the Canterbury City Council downgraded the restaurant’s hygiene rating from five stars to a paltry two.

Passengers aboard an already delayed American Airlines flight saw their trip abruptly cut short after the plane was forced to turn back due to a “disruptive customer,” according to The Independent. Flight AA2259, traveling from Miami to Quito, Ecuador, departed Saturday night after a delay of roughly 47 minutes from its scheduled departure time. About halfway through the four-hour journey, the aircraft issued a squawk 7700—an emergency code signaling a general in-flight emergency—and made an abrupt U-turn. Flight tracking data shows the Boeing 737 reversed course over Cuba and returned to Miami International Airport, landing shortly before 10 p.m. local time. According to the outlet, a spokesperson for American Airlines confirmed that law enforcement met the aircraft upon arrival to address the disruptive passenger. Following the ordeal, an American Airlines spokesperson told the outlet, “We thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for their assistance in managing a difficult situation.” The Daily Beast has reached out to American Airlines for comment. Passengers were later rebooked on an alternative flight to Quito on Sunday.

Emmy Award winner Susan Lucci, 79, has opened up about noticing “signs” she believes are from her late husband, who died in 2022 after 52 years of marriage. “Helmut’s birthday was 10/10, October 10th. And there next to their bed was a little baggy, full of dimes ... full of dimes,” Lucci told People about the first sign she received from her husband, Helmut Huber, 84, saying that it came “early on” after his death, while his family from Europe was visiting. “I right away knew that was Helmut. And dimes for a while showed up in pairs in very unexpected places,” Lucci continued, adding that the next sign came six months after her husband’s death when she attended a dinner party. “At my chair, curling, [there was] a big, big plume, a purple feather, just at my chair,” the All My Children actress recalled—noting that both feathers and dimes have been appearing in her life. “I didn’t even know that there were signs,” Lucci told People about four years of receiving messages, which she only realized might be related to her husband after a friend gave her the book Signs. “In that book, there were many examples," the actress recalled.

Former American tennis star John McEnroe got into a tense confrontation with a fan at Melbourne Airport while flying out of Australia following the Australian Open. A video circulating on social media shows the Tennis Hall of Famer and tennis commentator exiting his car as a young fan tries to snap a photo. When the fan offers, “Do you need a hand with any of your bags?” McEnroe, 66, fires back, “I need you to stay away from me, ok?” The fan follows him toward the airport, prompting McEnroe to snap, “Just get away, ok?” and asks, “Can we stop him?” before finally exploding: “Will you stop? Stop! Jesus Christ! Are you kidding me?” The fan persists, calling out, “I still love you, John,” only to receive a short reply: “Go f--k yourself.” The Daily Beast has contacted McEnroe’s representatives for comment regarding the incident. McEnroe’s outburst isn’t the first time his temper has made headlines in Australia. In 1990, he was disqualified from the Australian Open for misconduct—the first player to be disqualified at a Grand Slam tournament for such a reason since 1963. McEnroe received three code violations at the time: one for smashing his racket, one for intimidating a lineswoman, and one for swearing at the umpire and the tournament referee.

Soap star Fay Lenore has died at her home in Ellon, Aberdeenshire at the age of 97. She started her acting career as early as one can on stage, as a one-year-old in 1929. She soon became a mainstay on British television and in the theater for decades, starting in earnest later in her youth. She’s best known for her performances in Crossroads, a ‘60s British soap opera, and Take the High Road, an ’80s soap opera. She had also performed for Queen Elizabeth II at the 25th Royal Variety Show in 1954. Her family celebrated her prolific acting career on her death notice, stating, “May your star shine as bright in heaven as you did on Earth.” Her death notice stated that she died on January 8 and was a “dearly loved wife” of her husband of nearly four decades, Jay Scott, who passed away in 1997. She leaves behind a daughter, a son, and her grandchildren.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, 58, reflected on his past relationships in his forthcoming memoir, Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery, which prompted a response from a former girlfriend. In the book, Newsom recounts his 2006 breakup with CSI: Miami actress Sofia Milos, 56, writing that the split was influenced by Gordon Getty, 92—an oil magnate and close friend—who allegedly told Newsom that Milos was not right for him. “I have fond memories of that time in my life, which was a long time ago. We chose to part ways and have since moved on with our lives. I wish him and his family well,” Milos told The California Post in response to her ex-boyfriend’s new memoir. Aside from detailing the advice he received from Getty regarding his relationship, Newsom also wrote about his 2006 divorce from American diplomat Kimberly Guilfoyle, 56, which came shortly before he began dating Milos. At the time of his divorce, he was also involved in an affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, a staff member who was married to his campaign manager and friend. Guilfoyle later dated Donald Trump Jr., to whom she was engaged before breaking up in 2024, while Newsom married award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Siebel in 2008.

A Delta flight bound for Israel was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday after a medical emergency on board, according to an air traffic control recording. Delta Air Lines flight DL234 departed from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday afternoon and was due to arrive in Tel Aviv ten hours later. But six hours into the journey, the plane was forced to divert to Dublin after one of the 176 people on board experienced a “serious medical emergency”, according to AirLive. According to the outlet, the plane made a “heavyweight landing,” meaning it landed while still carrying more weight than usual because it had just taken off and was loaded with fuel for a long-haul flight. Flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 shows the same aircraft later took off again from Dublin roughly two hours later. Emergency medical crews were on standby when the plane landed and transported the affected passenger to a nearby hospital. The individual’s condition has not been publicly disclosed. The Daily Beast has contacted Delta for comment.

Lindsey Vonn is refusing to abandon her Olympic plans despite revealing she suffered a “completely” ruptured ACL following a crash last week. The three-time Olympic medalist addressed reporters Tuesday after injuring her left knee during a downhill race at a World Cup event in Switzerland on Friday. Vonn said she is currently “not in pain,” though she acknowledged the initial crash was painful and serious. Despite the diagnosis, Vonn struck a determined tone. “I have not cried,” she said, adding, “I think I’m still able to fight, and I will do everything in my power to be in that starting gate.” Hours after the crash, Vonn signaled she wasn’t backing down, posting on Instagram that her “Olympic dream is not over.” She doubled down on that message during the press conference, saying she intends to test her knee in practice over the next few days. The 41-year-old is hoping to compete in downhill events next Sunday, which would put her on track to become the oldest alpine skier to compete at the Olympics if she makes it to the start gate.

A centuries-old rumor about England’s most notorious queen may finally be put to rest. Researchers examining a 450-year-old portrait of Anne Boleyn say they have uncovered evidence that the painting was deliberately altered to counter claims that the queen had a “sixth finger,” a charge that circulated after her execution and was used to label her as unnatural. The finding centers on the Hever “Rose” portrait, held at Hever Castle in Kent, England, which scientists studied using advanced imaging techniques. “Scientific imaging carried out at the Hamilton Kerr Institute has revealed a discarded triangular form beneath Anne’s right arm, recording the moment when the artist deliberately changed the composition,” a Hever Castle spokesperson said. “The result? Anne’s hands are fully visible, clearly and unmistakably showing five digits on each hand. Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife, was targeted by what historians describe as a coordinated smear campaign after her downfall, including allegations of witchcraft and physical deformities. Those claims were popularized by Catholic polemicist Nicholas Sander years after her death. “This was no decorative flourish,” experts at Hever Castle said, adding that historians now believe the artist was instructed to rework the image “specifically to counter these rumours.”
