Caitlyn Jenner bursts into tears as she breaks silence on Sophia Hutchins’ death

As she described the tragic passing of her close friend, Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner cried out. The 75-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s long-time manager and close friend, who died on Wednesday at the age of 29, was tragically killed in an ATV collision close to Jenner’s Malibu home.

Officials confirmed that Hutchins’ car struck a moving vehicle on a twisting stretch of road overlooking the Pacific Coast on July 2. The fatal collision occurred. The star’s ATV collided with the other vehicle, causing them to both slam into a sheer cliff face and themselves. Emergency personnel quickly arrived at the scene, but upon arrival, they declared Hutchins deceased.

Caitlyn revealed that she had been overwhelmed by grief while speaking on Fox News At Night. My dear friend Sophia recently died in a tragic accident. But she said, “I’ve been dealing with death for the past seven weeks, and it’s been very difficult.”

Before addressing the shooting at the Minneapolis Annunciation Catholic School, she opened up about her personal journey.

I’m dealing with my grief right now, and I can’t even imagine parents dropping their child off at school and declaring, “I’ll never get a chance to talk to him again,” I said. The star remarked, “That is just so awful.

These people have a long way to go, and they will be dealing with grief, I’ve been dealing with.

Soon after the Olympic legend made a public statement about her identity in 2015 (Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows), Hutchins and Jenner struck up a friendship.

After Robin Westman, 23, opened fire on himself during a church mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, Fletcher Merkel, 8, and a 10-year-old girl died. 14 children between the ages of 6 and 15 and three parishioners in their 80s were among the injured in the attack, which also included three children.

Soon after the transgender woman’s Olympic legend made a public statement about her identity in 2015, Hutchins and Jenner made friends.

Throughout her own gender transition while a student at Pepperdine University in Malibu, she frequently referred to the reality star as a beacon of hope.

In 2017, Hutchins moved to Jenner’s $2.8 million Malibu home and succeeded in assuming Jenner’s position as Jenner’s former spouse, Kris Jenner.

Hutchins and Caitlyn were never romantically involved, according to Hutchins in a conversation with The New York Times earlier.

In April of this year, Hutchins and Jenner were most recently seen posing for her at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington. Hutchins fought tirelessly for the MAGA campaign and President Donald Trump, and she frequently used her platform.

She appeared alongside Trump in front of an American flag in a popular social media post from the previous year, expressing her excitement, passion, and commitment to saving America. We’ll never let go of.”

Hutchins continued to be a powerful voice in conservative communities and LGBTQ+ campaigning despite keeping a relatively low profile in recent months.

US denies visas for Palestinian officials before UN assembly

Before the UN General Assembly (UNGA), President Donald Trump’s administration announced it would be denying and revoking visas for Palestinian Authority (PA) and PLO members.

The US Department of State made the announcement in a statement released on Friday.

The Trump administration stated in a statement that “it is in our national security interests to hold the PLO and PA accountable for breaking their commitments and for lowering the chances for peace.”

The members “must consistently reject terrorism,” according to the statement, citing Hamas’ attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

UN experts have referred to Israel’s actions as “attempts to bypass negotiations” by referring to Israeli actions taken during and after Israel’s war in Gaza.

Both the Palestinian Authority and the internationally acclaimed Palestinian umbrella organization, the PLO, represent the Palestinian people and advocate for the establishment of a Palestinian state on the international stage.

Prior to now, the Trump administration had previously criticized PA and PLO members for “ignoring peace” and glorifying them.

Since UN members and non-member observers like Palestine typically send large delegations to the UNGA, it was not immediately clear which officials the denials would concern.

The US Department of State stated in a statement on Friday that it would grant waivers to Ambassador Riyad Mansour’s current leadership of the Palestinian Authority Mission to the UN.

According to Mansour, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was scheduled to attend the UN summit on September 22 that will include a segment on Palestinian rights, according to Mansour.

He claimed that it was not clear whether Abbas’s planned visit would be impacted by the US’s decision.

We will examine the implications and how they might apply to any member of our delegation, he said, and we will respond accordingly.

According to Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher, who was reporting from Washington, DC, the US is supposed to grant visas to UN member-state representatives for a visit to the organization’s headquarters.

Fisher predicted that this would be contentious. It was agreed that, in effect, US immigration policies would not have an impact on people who wanted to travel there on official business when the UN was established in 1947 and had its headquarters in New York.

Fisher did point out that the US has previously denied visas to some officials, including Yasser Arafat, the head of PLO, who was subsequently denied entry to the UN.

Omar al-Bashir, the then head of state of Sudan, was denied a visa by the US in 2013 for a trip there.

According to Fisher, “the reason for that is that the International Criminal Court wanted him.”

Yankee Candle’s 2025 advent calendar gives you a month’s worth of candles for 95p each

Our beauty editor claims that after having my first look at one of Yankee Candle’s 2025 advent calendar offerings, it will keep my housesmelling fantastic all through December.

Although it may seem early in the year to be discussing the C-word, advent calendars have already started appearing on stores (we swear it gets that way every year!). Candle-filled Christmas calendars and bumper beauty offerings are lovely alternatives if you want to make a change from the typical chocolate calendar or bumper beauty offerings. This year’s Yankee Candle one is excellent value for money, in my opinion, having had a sneak preview of it.

The larger Fragrance Lover’s Book Advent Calendar, which retails for £49.99, and the more affordable 24 Days of Fragrance Wreath Advent Calendar, which retail for £49.99, are both available from Yankee Candle this year. It’s currently on sale for £22.95 on Boots, which means that each candle costs only 95p, up from its usual price of £28.99.

Although it might not be the most expensive or flashiest calendar on the shelves, I really like this one because you can use all the products inside without any issues or leftovers. You can pop into the tea light holder behind door number one to get a different scent each day. Your home will smell amazing every day from December 1 through Christmas Day because each little candle will burn for a short period of time.

The eight distinct scents contained within the collection are all Yankee classics and genuinely smell lovely. My personal favorites are Amber &amp, Sandalwood and Silver Sage &amp, Pine, which are slightly less sweet than Christmas Cookie and Cinnamon Stick.

Additionally, the calendar’s packaging is given more positive reviews for its ease of recycling afterwards. It’s all cardboard, easily recyclable after December 24 and squashes down fairly flat, even though you won’t be able to reuse it year after year. The illustrations are also traditionally festive, which I like.

I would have liked to have seen a “special” candle behind door number 24, perhaps a slightly bigger one, if there had been one improvement. The second door has the same tea light behind it as the first door, as it is.

This Yankee Candle one is a lovely treat if you love (or are buying for someone who loves) home fragrance but are unable to commit to the expensive fragrance brand calendars Jo Malone London and Diptyque.

Wil Smith’s spectacular fall from grace and new low with AI fans after bludgeoning own career

Will Smith’s most recent YouTube video, which features signs that magically change, six fingers on people, and blurred body parts, has been spotted by glee-eyed fans.

In a bizarre new twist, fans are convinced Will Smith has used AI in a recent YouTube video he posted which features multiple short clips of concert footage.

In a 59-second video released on August 12 to promote his current tour, the controversial Hollywood A-lister uploaded to his official YouTube channel with significant discrepancies.

The 56-year-old actor has received criticism from all sides for starting the UK leg of his Based on a True Story tour in Scarborough on August 24.

Fans have noticed warped fingers, changing signs, and odd blurring in the video in question. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is currently on tour as he promotes his latest album, which is titled the same name as the tour.

The brief promotional video states, “Seeing you all up close is my favorite part of the tour.” Fans holding up signs and enjoying Will Smith’s concerts while the controversial artist performs on stage are featured in various concert clips, thanks to “Thank you for seeing me too.”

One sign that reads “LOV U FRESH PRINCE” magically transforms into “LOV U FR6SH CRINCE” by the end of the video, which is full of a number of outrageous visual errors throughout the YouTube clip.

Other blunders that viewers have noticed include irregularly shaped hands that appear to have six fingers and random blurred faces and body parts.

One woman holds up a sign in the video, but a second woman’s headband appears to be over her wrist.

A man is also holding a tribute sign that reads “You Can Make It helped me survive cancer.” This is another obvious AI error. THX Will, but his knuckles are incredibly blurred along the sign’s edge.

Fans are now voicing their disapproval of Will’s concert clip, which has since gone viral.

Unreal concert man! is one cheeky comment made on the video. The crowd is AI, literally, right?

While another viewer declared, “It’s over, bro. Just enjoy your retirement, folks.

Another sarcastic phrase was used to express “Thoughts and prayers to all of these crowd-disfigured people.” Missing fingers, 6 and 7 fingers, and melted faces Will truly inspire me.

While a fourth user expressed concern about the sign that reads “From West Philly to West Swiggy, look at these faces because they are literally melting.

Another fan expressed disappointment by saying, “Defeated no ai, really thought better of you, I love you FR6Sh Crince.”

While one comment made the humorous observation that “This was all true; his recent shows were for people with severe facial disfigurations or multiple limbs/heads.” They require our assistance, they say.

“Imagine having AI footage of crowds and bot comments on your video because you are this wealthy and famous.” Man, that’s crazy. Another disappointed fan remarked, “You used to be cool.

Will Smith has seen a fall from grace ever since he slapped actor and comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards held on March 27, 2022. The headline-grabbing incident occurred after Chris made a joke about

The incident occurred after Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith shaving her head at the Oscar ceremony as a result of the Red Table Talk host’s alopecia battle.

Will jumped onto the stage and slapped Chris in response after hearing the joke. The Grown Ups actor then yelled at him, “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth.” He then returned to his seat.

Trump revokes Secret Service detail for political opponent Kamala Harris

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is currently the president of the United States, has been informed by White House officials that the president has suspended his political opponent’s Secret Service protection.

According to the reports, Harris will lose protection from the federal law enforcement agency on September 1 due to the change that was made on Friday.

Former vice presidents typically receive six months of Secret Service protection when they leave office, but Joe Biden, the president, quietly signed a directive extending protection for his deputy shortly before his term ended in January.

Trump is facing two assassination attempts in the run-up to the November 2024 election, which is a particularly hot time in US politics.

In the run-up to Trump’s 107-day defeat, Harris had supplanted Biden as the Democratic nominee.

Harris, who has maintained a low profile since her resounding defeat, is scheduled to launch a book tour later this year shortly after receiving the protection’s removal. She will be present at a number of public events as a result.

The book will provide a “behind-the-scenes account” of her mad-dash campaign, which came after Biden’s disastrous decision to run for re-election despite growing concerns over the octogenarian’s advanced age, according to Harris, the former attorney general of California and the first woman and woman of color to hold office.

In response to the action, senior adviser to Harris, Kirsten Allen, spoke diplomatically.

According to the Reuters news agency, “the vice president is appreciative of the United States Secret Service’s professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety.”

Some critics criticized Trump for his violent attacks on Harris on the campaign trail, which included calling him “radical” and “extremist” and using numerous anti-Black tropes.

That raises the possibility of retaliation in addition to Trump’s pardon of supporters who staged political violence at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Tanisha Long, a community organizer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, wrote on X that “he’s spent months pardoning his supporters and green-lighting political violence.”

Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection was canceled after he “created his own personal lynch mob of bigots” (p. 2).

Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton and other political foes had previously requested his former ally’s security clearance.

Garnacho Arrives At Chelsea As £40m Move From Man United Moves Closer

Enzo Maresca, the Blues manager, announced Friday that Alejandro Garnacho had arrived at Chelsea’s training facility ahead of his alleged $40 million ($54 million) departure from Manchester United.

The two Premier League clubs reportedly reached a deal on Thursday, with Ruben Amorim no longer required to play for Old Trafford.

Garnacho was on Friday to get checked out and finalize terms at Chelsea’s training facility in Cobham, southwest of London.

Chelsea manager Maresca told reporters, “I know he is around here.” “I’m not certain where exactly.”

When Maresca inquired about the United Academy graduate’s potential placement with his team, Maresca said, “He’s a winger. He strikes me as a “winger.”

Before Monday’s summer transfer window deadline, the Italian would not rule out the possibility of more arrivals and departures.

The transfer window is open, and anything can happen inside and outside, he said.

Additionally, Maresca confirmed that Cole Palmer will miss Saturday’s game against West Ham rival Fulham in West London due to a groin injury that forced him to miss the game.

Due to their respective injury issues, Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile are both still sidelined.

“Cole, we need to see every day,” Maresca said, adding that Roma and Benoit “will be closer to being back after the international break, but they will be,”

“Lavia) didn’t play any games for two years. He participated in some games last year. This season, the goal is to give him more games. When will he be back, I’m not sure.

We must find new solutions when Cole isn’t playing. We can do it, hopefully, tomorrow.

Following a 5-1 win over West Ham and a goalless draw with Crystal Palace, Chelsea are now fourth in the table.
