Christa Pike: Awake, ‘Critically Ill’ In Hospital; Lawyers Fight to Have …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Wednesday, Christa Pike was set to be executed in Tennessee — the first female put to death by the state in more than 200 years.

Instead, the convicted murderer is currently coalescing in an area hospital, having survived two phenobarbital injections that were administered with the purpose of ending her life.

Pike remained conscious after the first shot, even expressing concern to nearby medical staff and complaining of pain.

And though the second shot caused her to lose consciousness, witnesses say she continued to breathe and could be heard “snoring.”

Pike was then rushed from Riverbend Maximum Security Institution to a local hospital, where she is currently undergoing treatment.

Now, her attorneys have issued a statement about Pike’s condition as they seek to have her sentence overturned.

“Christa is critically ill but not in a coma as I understand it,” one member of the legal team tells TMZ.

The attorney went on to explain that Pike is unable to communicate at this time.

He added that Pike’s warrant for execution expired at midnight, meaning the Tennessee Supreme Court would have to set a new date before they can try to execute her again.

Tennessee governor Bill Lee has already ordered that all remaining executions on the state’s schedule be paused indefinitely so that the authorities can ensure that there are no further debacles like Christa’s.

Now, Pike’s legal team is calling upon state prosecutors to commute her sentence following the nightmare situation that unfolded last night.

“Christa has endured punishment greater than any other person in the history of the American death penalty. The governor must commute Krista’s sentence now,” Attorney Randy Spivey told Tennessee’s WVLT.

“Tennessee should not be torturing its citizens in the name of justice,” echoed Steve Farrell of the Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee. “We, along with Randy, call for the commutation of her death sentence after what she’s been put through.”

Farrell went on to allege that the state’s treatment of Pike was akin to torture.

Shockingly, Pike’s botched execution was not entirely unexpected.

Both the death row inmate and her attorneys predicted that her rare venous condition might result in complications.

“We presented evidence that due to her blood condition, venous access would be difficult, and that this type of prolonged execution that she didn’t want to happen would happen,” Farrell said today. “When we had our hearing this summer. All of this was predicted, and nothing, the court did nothing.”

We will have further updates on this shocking developing story as new information becomes available.

Kylie Kelce Apologizes to Kate Middleton For ‘Offensive’ Comment (But Still …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Kylie Kelce is learning that when you invite a future queen onto your podcast, you might want to brush up on royal protocol first.

The wife of Jason Kelce issued an apology to Kate Middleton this week after realizing she made a pretty significant etiquette error when extending an invitation to the Princess of Wales.

During the September 24 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kylie invited Kate to join her for a chat about motherhood and their shared love of field hockey.

“Princess Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, if you ever wanted to come on and chitchat about some field hockey and maybe kids,” Kylie said at the time. “I don’t know. We got a couple things in common.”

As it turns out, Kylie had some homework to do.

On Thursday’s episode, the 34-year-old acknowledged that she had since learned that referring to Catherine as “Princess Kate” isn’t the proper way to address her.

“I love learning, so I was unaware that calling Princess Catherine, Princess Kate was offensive,” Kylie explained. “I didn’t know that. Now I know that. Now I will proceed accordingly.”

And then came the official apology.

“Princess Catherine or the Princess of Wales, I apologize,” Kylie said. “I will get that sorted immediately starting now.”

For the record, Catherine has officially held the title Princess of Wales since 2022, when King Charles ascended to the throne, and Prince William became the Prince of Wales. She was previously the Duchess of Cambridge.

This is not the first time that the Kelces have run afoul of the royals. Back in 2024, Jason bashed the very idea of royalty … right before Travis met Prince William. But all was quickly forgiven.

Kylie also addressed another potential issue: her famously colorful vocabulary.

A listener suggested that Catherine is “too refined and beautiful” to be subjected to Kylie’s cursing and that the podcast host would need to “clean up” her act if the royal ever accepted her invitation.

Kylie conceded that the listener had a point.

“First of all, you’re correct. Agreed,” she said.

Kylie made it clear that despite her efforts to clean up her language, she has no expectations that the future queen will actually show up behind her podcast microphone.

“Do I think she has time to hop on this podcast? No, I do not,” Kylie admitted.

But she would certainly welcome her.

Kylie pointed to their shared experiences with motherhood, their shared interest in sports, and Kate’s cancer battle as some of the reasons she would love to have the conversation.

And considering William already appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast in July, Kylie apparently figured it was worth taking her own shot at the royal family.

Now that she knows the proper title, she’ll apparently be waiting for Princess Catherine to make her grand podcast debut.

No pressure, Your Royal Highness. Wait…did we do that right?

Now maybe Kylie can apologize for that NFL Sunday Ticket ad that airs approximately every 8 seconds during games!

We kid. That’s not her fault — and she probably received quite the payday for it.

Jim Carrey Marries Min Ah 7 Months After Debuting as Couple

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jim Carrey is officially off the market — again!

The 64-year-old actor has married his longtime girlfriend, Min Ah, in a small, private ceremony in Los Angeles, according to reports.

A representative for Carrey confirmed the marriage on Wednesday, while TMZ reported that the couple exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles.

Few details have emerged about the wedding itself, which is pretty on-brand for a relationship that has largely unfolded away from the Hollywood spotlight.

Carrey and Min Ah had reportedly been spotted together as far back as 2022, but they didn’t exactly rush to make their relationship public.

That changed in February 2026, when the couple made their official red-carpet debut at the César Awards in Paris.

Carrey was honored with an honorary César at the ceremony, and his daughter, Jane, and grandson, Jackson, were also in attendance. During his acceptance speech, Carrey took a moment to thank Min Ah, whom he described as his “sublime companion.”

“I love you, Min Ah,” he added during the speech.

Seven months later, the “sublime companion” has become the wife.

Very little is publicly known about Min Ah, who is reportedly an actress and artist and has also been known as Minzi. She and Carrey have kept their romance remarkably quiet, with relatively few public appearances or details about their life together.

Of course, this isn’t Carrey’s first trip down the aisle.

The comedy legend was previously married to Melissa Womer, with whom he shares daughter Jane, from 1987 until their divorce in 1995. He later married his Dumb and Dumber co-star Lauren Holly in 1996, but that marriage lasted less than a year.

Carrey famously dated Jenny McCarthy for years, been romantically linked to several famous women including Renée Zellweger and January Jones.

Carrey once suggested that he was perfectly happy leaving marriage in the rearview mirror.

In a 2008 interview, while dating McCarthy, Carrey said, “I probably won’t get married again,” adding that after doing it twice, “you really should stop doing it.”

Well, apparently, he’s had a change of heart!

After years of keeping his relationship with Min Ah largely private, Carrey has now made her his third wife.

And considering he went from publicly calling her his “sublime companion” in Paris to secretly marrying her in Los Angeles just seven months later, it seems he changed his mind with a quickness.

Our congratulations go out to the happy couple!

Mariska Hargitay Calls Out Alleged Cornell Rapists: ‘I Think We Should Ruin Their …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Mariska Hargitay has made it clear where she stands on the disturbing allegations involving several Cornell University fraternity members.

The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star and recent Emmys host shared a series of posts on social media addressing the allegations, including one that called for consequences for the men accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman.

And considering the role she has played on television for nearly three decades, it probably comes as little surprise that Mariska had some very strong feelings about the case.

On her Instagram page, Hargitay reposted a graphic that read: “Yes I think we actually should ruin the futures of adult men who drug and gang rape a woman, thanks for asking.”

She also shared posts urging men to contact police if they witnessed a woman being sexually assaulted.

Another post referenced an alleged fraternity group chat in which a message advertising “free p—y” was reportedly shared.

The allegations stem from a lawsuit filed September 16 by a former Cornell student, identified as Jane Doe in court documents.

Doe alleges that she was 20 years old when she was sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. According to the lawsuit, she was allegedly forced to consume drugs before multiple men sexually assaulted her.

Seven fraternity members were named as defendants in the lawsuit: Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar.

Those allegations remain allegations, and the defendants have not been convicted of the conduct described in the lawsuit.

Doe reported the alleged assault to Cornell University Police approximately three weeks after the incident.

Cornell subsequently suspended the fraternity’s Xi chapter and temporarily suspended the seven men named in the lawsuit, according to court documents. The lawsuit alleges that the university gave the men an opportunity to mitigate the alleged conduct by submitting essays (per Yahoo! News).

Doe ultimately left Cornell.

Now, New York state prosecutors have reportedly decided to reopen a criminal inquiry into the allegations, bringing renewed attention to a case that had largely remained out of the national spotlight.

For Mariska, who has spent years portraying Detective Olivia Benson on SVU and advocating for survivors through her Joyful Heart Foundation, the issue is clearly a personal one.

She has also previously spoken publicly about experiencing sexual assault herself.

So while Mariska’s latest social media posts are very much in keeping with the work she’s been doing both on-screen and off-screen for years.

And with the investigation now being revisited, her posts have added another high-profile voice to the growing calls for accountability.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kristi Noem Files For Divorce Following Husband’s Cross-Dressing Scandal

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in March, folks on social media had a good laugh over reports of Bryon Noem’s alleged cross-dressing fetish.

But it seems that Bryon’s wife, former South Dakota governor and former Department of Homeland Security secretary, failed to see the humor in the situation.

Kristi filed for divorce from Bryon on Monday, September 28, according to court records obtained by People.

Kristi cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

And while the filing may have arrived this week, rumors about trouble in the Noems’ marriage have been circulating for quite some time.

Kristi and Bryon married in 1992 after meeting as teenagers in South Dakota. They went on to have three children — daughters Kassidy and Kennedy and son Booker — and are now grandparents to four grandchildren.

But their seemingly long-running marriage came under intense scrutiny earlier this year after reports surfaced about Bryon’s alleged participation in online fetish forums.

The Daily Mail reported in March that Bryon had allegedly spent more than $25,000 communicating with performers in “bimbofication” chatrooms, a type of role-playing centered around exaggerated femininity.

The outlet also published photos that allegedly showed Bryon wearing feminine clothing and oversized fake breasts.

Kristi’s representative responded to those reports by saying that she was “devastated” and that the family had been “blindsided.”

A post shared by People Magazine (@people)

Bryon did not deny participating in the online chatrooms at the time, although he disputed some of the claims made about his conversations and his marriage.

The controversy came as Kristi was dealing with major changes in her own career.

President Donald Trump removed her as Homeland Security secretary in March and reassigned her to another role. Around the same time, Kristi was questioned publicly about longstanding rumors involving Trump ally Corey Lewandowski.

Both Kristi and Lewandowski have denied having a romantic relationship.

When questioned under oath about whether she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski, Kristi declined to give a direct answer and dismissed the questions as “tabloid garbage.”

Meanwhile, Kristi’s mother, Corinne Arnold, indicated in July that the divorce was coming.

“It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,” Arnold told the Daily Mail.

At the time, however, no divorce paperwork had been filed publicly.

That has now changed.

After 34 years of marriage, Kristi and Bryon’s relationship has officially reached its final chapter — and considering everything that has unfolded around the couple in 2026, it has certainly been a very public one.

Trump’s Ban on Canadian Alcohol Kicks In: Will You Notice the Impact?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For most of this year, Donald Trump’s tariffs and international commerce restrictions have been subjects of widespread criticism.

And beginning today, millions of Americans might feel the effects of the never-ending trade war like never before.

That’s because the Trump administration has officially banned a whole lot of Canadian booze from entering the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump looks on during the signing of a security pact between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland during the 81st session of the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly at U.N. Headquarters on September 22, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

But before anyone starts panic-buying Crown Royal, there’s an important catch: The ban probably won’t empty American liquor-store shelves overnight.

The new restrictions took effect Tuesday and cover roughly $800 million worth of Canadian alcoholic beverages that the United States imported last year. The move is part of the rapidly escalating trade fight between the U.S. and Canada.

Trump’s administration says the action is a response to Canadian restrictions on American alcoholic beverages. Canada began pulling US wine and spirits from store shelves in 2025 after Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods.

The White House has characterized Canada’s treatment of American alcohol as discriminatory. Trump subsequently used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose the new restrictions.

And yes, this means some of your favorite Canadian drinks could become considerably harder to find.

But there are loopholes.

A post shared by Channel 3 Eyewitness News (@wfsbnews)

Whiskey and liqueurs can still enter the United States when they’re shipped in containers larger than four liters. That creates an obvious problem for Canadian producers, however, because many bottles sold in American liquor stores are much smaller.

Companies could theoretically ship their products in bulk and bottle them in the United States, but that requires additional equipment and containers.

Crown Royal may have an advantage here, as the brand already ships bulk whisky to the United States and bottles products intended for the American market domestically.

So while this is technically a ban on Canadian booze, it isn’t quite as simple as slapping a giant “NO CANADIANS ALLOWED” sign on every liquor store.

American consumers may not immediately notice much difference, particularly because distributors had time to stock up before the restrictions took effect.

Still, the broader implications are significant.

Trade expert Inu Manak tells CNN that using an import ban against an ally is an unusual escalation and described the move as a symbolic attempt to pressure Canadian negotiators.

The alcohol industry isn’t exactly thrilled about being caught in the middle, either.

Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, said American distillers prefer to compete based on their products rather than tariffs.

“We like to compete by sip and taste, not tariffs,” Swonger said.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, this particular trade dispute appears to have gotten considerably more complicated than simply deciding which country’s whiskey tastes better.

And for American consumers, the biggest question may be whether their favorite Canadian bottles remain available — or become the latest casualty of the increasingly messy US-Canada trade war.

Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Speaks Out: Focus on ‘3 Angels’ Who Died, Not Me

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial may be over for now, but the drama surrounding the case is showing no signs of slowing down.

Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror whose refusal to change his position contributed to the mistrial earlier this month, has spoken publicly for the first time without an attorney or YouTuber acting as his intermediary.

And Desronvil has one very specific request: Stop talking about him.

“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels,” Desronvil said in a video statement that aired Monday on Fox News’ Hannity.

“The ones that can’t speak for themselves, the ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight the battles — and those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”

Cora, Dawson, and Callan were Clancy’s three children. They were killed at the family’s Massachusetts home in January 2023.

The five-week trial ended in a mistrial on September 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

According to several jurors who have spoken publicly, the panel ultimately stood at 11-1, with Desronvil maintaining that Clancy should be found guilty of murder.

Desronvil has repeatedly denied allegations that he ignored the law or possessed doubts about the prosecution’s case.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, Michael Desronvil, has broken his silence in a video statement sent exclusively to Fox News' Sean Hannity.

“I didn’t have any doubts,” he previously said in a statement released through his representatives.

His attorney, Edward Paltzik, has also vigorously defended him, calling allegations made against his client “false” and “fabricated.”

Meanwhile, Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, has asked the court to investigate Desronvil over allegations stemming from the jury’s deliberations. Reddington has referred to him as an “obstructionist juror,” while Desronvil’s legal team has accused Clancy’s defense of unfairly targeting him.

Now, Desronvil says he would rather the conversation return to the three children at the center of the case.

“I want to thank God for my Catholic faith,” he said in his new video. “I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.”

“And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual, that has supported me throughout this difficult situation.”

Clancy is scheduled to return to court today, as her legal team seeks to prevent a retrial and prosecutors weigh what comes next following the mistrial.

For now, however, the battle over the holdout juror appears to be far from finished.
