Succession star Kieran Culkin is expecting his third baby with wife Jazz Charton
Succession star Kieran Culkin is expecting his third baby with wife Jazz Charton, after he said he wanted more children during an awards acceptance speech. The Oscar-winning actor, 42, rested his hand on Charton’s growing baby bump at the opening night of Waiting For Godot on Broadway. The play stars Keanu Reeves and his Bill And Ted co-star Alex Winter. Culkin went viral at the Emmys in 2024 when he collected the supporting actor prize for his role as Roman Roy in Succession and made a public bid to have more children.
During his speech on stage, he said: “My beautiful wife, Jazz, thank you for sharing your life with me and giving me two amazing kids, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, I love you so many and so much. “And Jazz: I want more. You said maybe if I win.” He referred to this speech when he collected the best supporting actor Oscar the following year for A Real Pain. Standing on stage at the Dolby Theatre, he said: “About a year ago, I was on a stage like this, and I very stupidly, publicly said that I wanted a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid. Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was going to win.”
In a mass shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, at least four people were killed and eight others were hurt.
The suspect, 40, was Thomas Jacob Sanford, who police claimed intentionally set the church on fire and spewed smoke out of the structure. In addition, Stanford was fatally shot while he was firing at law enforcement personnel.
What information is necessary here:
When and what happened?
Police received a call on Sunday morning at 10:25 am (14:25 GMT) about an armed man’s vehicle entering a church building.
At a press conference, Grand Blanc Township police chief William Renye stated that the attacker then opened fire with an assault rifle and “fired several rounds at people inside the church.” He added that the suspect is also alleged to have started a massive fire that quickly grew.
Just eight minutes after the shooting started, officers immediately responded and shot the suspect, who was ultimately killed, in the church parking lot at 10:33 am (14:33 GMT).
When the building caught fire, congregations were inside and attending services. According to officials, the chapel partially collapsed as a result of the fire.
According to Renye, “We are still trying to figure out exactly when, where, and how the fire started.” However, “we do think the suspect intentionally set it.”
Police believe the burned-out building may still have victims. The FBI is now taking charge of an investigation that it calls “an act of targeted violence.”
During the police investigation, three improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were discovered inside the suspect’s car, according to local media reports.

Where in Michigan was the shooting reported?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ meetinghouse was in Grand Blanc, a township located 60 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of Detroit, where the attack occurred. There are about 7,700 people in Grand Blanc.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or “the Mormon church,” teaches Joseph Smith, a religious leader from the United States, along with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Members put a lot of emphasis on family and traditional values, study the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and revere the church president as a living prophet.
Its teachings oppose same-sex unions, alcohol use, and abortion.
The attack occurred in Russell M. Nelson’s home just one day after his death, according to the president of the church.
Thomas Jacob Sanford, who was he?
Former US Marine from Burton, Michigan, who served in the military from 2004 to 2008, including a deployment to al-Fallujah, Iraq, during US occupation of the Middle Eastern nation, was the suspect.
Before the deployment in 2007, Jacob’s father, Thomas Sanford, stated in a local media outlet, “He’s a homegrown kid who misses his family when he’s gone.” When his service is over, Jake intends to return to this community. The report, which read “We are very proud of him,” continued with “We are very proud of him.”
He was promoted to sergeant in the Marines three months after returning to the US in March 2008.
Sanford, a graduate of Goodrich High School, moved into the trucking industry in 2016 and moved to Burton to live there.
His son Brantlee was a result of a rare medical condition known as hyperinsulinism, in which the pancreas produces too much insulin. He was also a father.
In a 2016 interview, Sanford recalled how they discovered that Brantlee was having issues shortly after his birth. For us, it was a nightmare.
Sanford was also known for his passion for hunting and fishing, with photos that show him posing alongside deer and displaying his catches from ice-fishing trips.
What are the victims’ details known to us?
Police have confirmed that the attack left eight people injured and at least four fatalities so far. Some of them were in critical condition.
Authorities say the partially collapsed chapel’s debris may still be the site of more victims.
According to a statement from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Places of worship are intended to be sanctuaries of peacemaking, prayer, and connection.” We ask that all parties involved find peace and healing.
What are the current information on US shootings?
According to the Gun Violence Archive, the Michigan attack was the 324th mass shooting in the US to date in 2025.
At least two people were killed and several were hurt in Eagle Pass, Texas, which was also the third mass shooting to occur in one day, coming after one in Southport, North Carolina, and two in Southport, North Carolina.
In a strange coincidence, the suspect in the North Carolina shooting was a 40-year-old Marine veteran who had served in Iraq, similar to the shooting in Michigan. Three people were killed and five others were hurt in that attack, which took place less than 14 hours prior to the rampage in Michigan.
Police in Southport claim Nigel Max Edge fired shots from a boat into a waterfront bar on Saturday night. He is currently facing charges, including five counts of attempted murder and three counts of first-degree murder.

Coach Charlotte Edwards says that England’s only realistic expectation is reaching the semi-final of the Women’s World Cup.
England lost to Australia in the semi-final and then the group stage at the most recent T20 World Cups, but they made it to the final of the previous edition in 2022.
After a 16-0 Ashes drubbing at the beginning of the year and a mixed summer, where they thrashed a weak West Indies side before being exposed against India in T20 and one-day international series defeats, Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side entered the tournament as underdogs.
In their two warm-up games, they have defeated favorites India and Australia, which Edwards believes will boost their self-assurance and chances of achieving the knockout status.
When asked what England’s bare minimum would be, Edwards responded, “We want to be in the semi-final knockout phases, and we know anything can happen there.”
Co-hosts India and Sri Lanka kick off the World Cup on Tuesday, while England kick off their campaign against South Africa on Friday.
England will face India and Australia in Indore on October 19 and 22, respectively, in a semi-final matchup between all eight competing teams.
Whether it’s a warm-up game or not, Edwards, who helped England win the World Cup in 2009, said, “To win is always special.
“But the way we handled it is more pleasing because the game was put on a lot of pressure.”
England’s inability to perform under pressure was the subject of a lot of the criticism they received following the T20 World Cup and the Ashes, especially since they have a strong record against lower-ranked teams in bilateral series but haven’t won a global championship or an Ashes series since 2014, which is why they haven’t won a global tournament since 2017 or a series since 2014.
England are not the favorites, but Edwards, who succeeded Jon Lewis in April, claims that their understanding of their 50-over game is expanding.
“I’ve definitely come here to win the tournament,” Edwards said, “but India is always going to be the favorites,” he said.
We know where we are, but we also know that any team can win, and I believe we have shown that over the past week, but we must continue to do so. In large events, we must perform it under great pressure.
“We have a blueprint for how to get big scores, big partnerships, set up the game for the final 20 overs, and the players are starting to understand batting time,” said one player.
After watching England defeat Canada in the Rugby World Cup, Edwards also mentioned the team’s desire to bring more success, and he recalled that the team came together to watch the Red Roses defeat Canada at Twickenham.
“Those group of girls really gave us an outlet for inspiration.” I believe they have been fantastic, and we should be able to build on that now, Edwards said.
As a plan for the future administration of a Gaza-devayed by Israel’s nearly two-year genocidal war is being discussed at a White House meeting on Monday, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be asked to discuss the ironclad relationship between the two nations.
Trump has repeatedly stated that the war needs to end, and he has promised “greatness in the Middle East” and “something special” in a separate all-caps post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.

Netanyahu, on the other hand, claimed that Israel is working with Washington to “make the plan work.”
Arab and Muslim leaders were first given the 21-point “day after” war plan earlier this week at the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York.
It demands that Hamas release all 48 Palestinian captives who are still alive, about 20 of whom are reportedly alive, within two days, according to numerous Israeli and Western reports.
If Hamas fighters reject resistance, they allegedly will be given the option of receiving amnesty or permission to leave Gaza. Israeli forces will gradually withdraw from the famine-stricken enclave, some Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli military concentration camps, and significant humanitarian aid will be provided.
The Palestinian organization confirmed in a statement on Sunday that it has not received any new proposals from Egypt and Qatar, which have reportedly both received Trump’s proposals.
Hamas’ armed wing warned that contact has been lost with Israeli forces capturing two Israeli captives in Gaza City as a result of an expanding Israeli ground invasion and aerial bombardment, which is causing dozens of Palestinian civilians’ daily casualties and the destruction of the area. Hamas said it will take a new offer to end the war into account.
Netanyahu’s delicate balance
Even though the plan, if implemented as it is, goes against some of Israel’s far-right government’s core beliefs, the Israeli prime minister appears to be supporting it.
The vision claims, among other things, that a future Palestinian state is open, something that top Israeli leaders have vowed never to permit.
The plan emphasizes that the Palestinians have a right of return if they choose to leave after two years of genocidal war have destroyed the majority of the enclave. It also emphasizes that they do not want to forcefully expel Palestinians from Gaza.
While Netanyahu’s top ministers and coalition partners, including Finance Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, have vehemently advocated for “encouraging voluntary migration” without return and for the destruction of what is left of Gaza.
They want to halt all access to food, water, and medicine, as Israel did for months before torpedoing a previous ceasefire with Hamas, which caused widespread starvation and famine. After seizing and operating militarily in the area while annexing the occupied West Bank, they want to rebuild the illegal Israeli settlements there.
The two far-right extremists have already criticised Trump’s plan, who they have repeatedly praised as Israel’s biggest-ever ally in the White House, along with other ministers and leaders of violent settler organizations, and have been sanctioned by several western governments.
They contend that Netanyahu is not qualified to accept a deal that would prevent Hamas from being a key player in the conflict starting in 2023.
Trump may squeeze Netanyahu, who will want to appease him despite the White House’s unwavering support and diplomatic cover.
The 25th Knesset’s swearing-in ceremony for the new Israeli parliament, the 25th Knesset, took place in Jerusalem on November 15, 2022.
Netanyahu’s coalition, which has 32 seats in the Israeli Knesset, is already facing difficulties because it is forming a minority government with 60 out of 120 seats.
When one of the two major ultra-Orthodox parties left the government and the other left the coalition in mid-july because it was unable to guarantee religious students’ future military conscription during the war, Netanyahu was in a bind.
If Smotrich and Ben-Gvir’s parties all resign from the coalition, they could potentially overthrow Netanyahu’s highly critical government and force new elections.
In January, Ben-Gvir abruptly resigned from his cabinet position in protest of the Hamas ceasefire, which resulted in the release of several prisoners, but he soon returned after Israel resumed bombing Gaza.
The far-right groups, however, are unlikely to overthrow the coalition anytime soon because Israel continues to impede Gaza’s largest urban center by using tanks and sea to launch explosives from the air and sea.
In the West Bank, in spite of Trump’s claim that he will not allow annexation of the territory, Israeli raids and settler attacks are carried out daily against Palestinians.
Trump’s new proposal currently appears at best provisional, and even if it is approved by all, it will take a while to implement.
The future of Gaza’s administration structure
The plan proposed by Trump was developed in collaboration with Israel and the institute run by Tony Blair, who was the country’s prime minister in the Middle East when the US launched an invasion of Iraq in 2003 on the ground of false weapons of mass destruction.
After Hamas is ousted for a while, the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), which has just been established, will be able to administer Gaza.
The entire power structure of the authority, according to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, is at the top, with Palestinians running things on the ground at the bottom, according to a statement released on Monday.
In an effort to gain credibility, the international board of GITA will initially be based in Egypt or elsewhere near Gaza but because of the tumultuous situation created by Israel there. It may also include prominent Egyptian businessmen and Muslims.
According to reports, it will have an executive secretariat with five commissioners who will run it to deal with issues involving humanitarian aid, reconstruction, legislation, security, and coordination with the Palestinian Authority (PA), which is being urged to undergo reforms in exchange for a promise that it will take over governance at an undisclosed future date.
A Palestinian technocratic authority will be appointed by the board to oversee some implementation on the ground as a multinational stabilization force takes control of border crossings, Gaza’s coastline, and “perimeter zones” close to Israel and Egypt’s current borders.
This is in contrast to Netanyahu’s and others’ claims that Israel will operate “security control” over the enclave.
In overtime, the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers were tied with the NFL with 40-40, and Micah Parsons’ highly anticipated return came after the teams traded short field goals with Brandon Aubrey and Brandon McManus.
On Sunday night, Dallas’s Dak Prescott and Green Bay’s Jordan Love, the two stars quarterbacks each had three touchdown passes in regulation, including seven more lead-changing touchdowns before McManus’ tying 53-yard field goal as time ran.

With only a second left, McManus threw a 34-yarder as overtime approached 00:00, just after Love’s pass into the back end zone fell incomplete.
What began as the Cowboys’ (1-2-1) trade for Parsons to the Packers (2-1-1)’s highly anticipated return to one of the game’s elite pass rushers ended up being their second dramatic quarterback duo in Dallas’s home games.
Two weeks prior, when Russell Wilson started for New York, the Cowboys defeated the Giants 40-37 in overtime.
The Raiders’ 43-43 draw with the Boston Patriots in the American Football League (AFL) on Sunday marked Dallas’ second-highest scoring tie since 1969, behind the Raiders’ 43-43 draw in the same year. The Packers were last tied for the 2018 season.

Bad Bunny, a pop star from Puerto Rico, will headline the Super Bowl half-time show in California next year.
The singer and rapper will squeeze his hits into less than 15 minutes on US TV’s most-watched night in February, topping Spotify’s most-streamed artist list in three of the previous five years.
He said, “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” in a statement with football-themed themes. It’s for those who came before me and ran for a touchdown before me. For my people, my culture, and our history, this is.
On February 8th, he will travel to the US for Super Bowl night in Santa Clara.
He will resemble The Weeknd, Usher, Rihanna, and Kendrick Lamar among other well-known half-time stars in recent years.
This year’s Super Bowl attracted a record 127 million viewers in the US, making Lamar the musical star.
In his statement, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, said, “Ve y dile a tu abuela, that seremos el half-time show of the Super Bowl,” which roughlytranslates to “Go tell your grandma we’re going to be the Super Bowl half-time show.”
What Bad Bunny has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico, according to Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation company chooses the half-time performer and produces their show.
The first album in Spanish to top the US chart was Bad Bunny Un Verano Sin Ti (A Summer Without You).
The Weeknd and Taylor Swift were the other top three most streamed artists in the world last year.
In the spring, he released his most recent album, Debat Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos).
He has three Grammy nominations, and he was named the top nominee at the Latin Grammy Awards earlier this month.
He wrapped up a residency in his native Puerto Rico earlier this month, which attracted more than 500,000 fans. Despite being a US territory, Puerto Rico has a significant internal self-government.
His tour will begin in the Dominican Republic in November, then it will pass through Central and South America, Japan, and Europe, including two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in the summer.
The star explained to i-D about the lack of US dates, noting that none of them were due to hate. “I’ve performed there many times,” the star said.
“All of the shows have worked out,” he said. They have all been outstanding. I’ve had a great time connecting with Latinos who have lived here for a long time.
However, there was a problem with [ICE] being present at] my concerts. And it’s a topic that we were discussing and deeply concerned about.
His San Francisco Bay Area Levi’s Stadium performance will be the Super Bowl opener.
Bad Bunny has also made acting contributions to movies like Happy Gilmore 2 and Bullet Train.
