'This is just so heartbreaking': Danforth community mourns well-known homeless woman who died over frigid weekend
Through her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, pop star Taylor Swift has become quite close with several of the wives and girlfriends of other Chiefs players. But she’s perhaps grown the closest with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The two reportedly spend quite a bit of time together, they often sit together in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium during games, and they’ve taken in several high-profile events with their significant others including taking in U.S. Open tennis championships. So now that the Mahomes’ were expecting their third baby, it makes sense that Swift is going above and beyond for her close friend as she gets closer to her due date, according to Life & Style. “Taylor’s been pampering her with gifts and spa treatments,” a source told Life & Style . “She has baked her famous chocolate chip cookies for Brittany, and she’s planning a baby shower.” William Purnell-Imagn Images Swift’s gestures further prove there’s no actual rift in her friendship with Brittany, which many believed to be true given their opposing political beliefs. It’s also the latest example of Swift ingratiating herself further into Kelce’s inner circle and family. The 14-time Grammy winner also sits with the All-Pro tight end’s mom Donna during many games as well, and she’s also reportedly close with Kelce’s brother Jason and his wife Kylie. In fact, Swift liked Kylie’s Instagram post on Friday night announcing they were expecting their fourth baby with the caption that read “I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!” It was also the first Instagram post that Swift liked in months.

The Grammy winner released his sixth studio album “GNX” on Friday. The 12-track project is the rapper’s first release since 2022’s “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.” Lamar’s new album comes just months after his rap battle with Drake.

NBA memo to players urges increased vigilance regarding home security following break-ins MIAMI (AP) — The NBA is urging its players to take additional precautions to secure their homes following reports of recent high-profile burglaries of dwellings owned by Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Ancient meets modern as a new subway in Greece showcases archaeological treasures THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is opening a new subway system, blending ancient archaeological treasures with modern transit technology like driverless trains and platform screen doors. The project, which began in 2003, uncovered over 300,000 artifacts, including a Roman-era thoroughfare and Byzantine relics, many of which are now displayed in its 13 stations.

The jury on Friday awarded Nikita Hand in her lawsuit that claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in 2018.

On Nov. 30, Hallmark will air “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.” Instead of a nod to Swift, it’s an ode to family traditions and bonding, like rooting for a sports team. Hallmark’s headquarters is also in Kansas City. Top football recruit Bryce Underwood changes commitment to Michigan instead of LSU, AP source says ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Top football recruit Bryce Underwood has flipped to Michigan after pledging to play at LSU. That's according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the recruit’s plans to join the Wolverines. Underwood pinned a post on his Instagram account, showing a post in which On3.com reported that he has committed to Michigan. The 6-foot-3 quarterback played at Belleville High School about 15 miles east of Michigan's campus, and told LSU nearly a year ago he intended to enroll there. Emperor penguin released at sea 20 days after waddling onto Australian beach MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The only emperor penguin known to have swum from Antarctica to Australia has been released at sea 20 days after he waddled ashore on a popular tourist beach. The adult male was found on Nov. 1 on sand dunes in temperate southwest Australia about 2,200 miles north of the Antarctic coast. He was released Wednesday from a boat that traveled several hours from Western Australia state's most southerly city of Albany. His caregiver Carol Biddulph wasn't sure at first if the penguin would live. She said a mirror was important to his rehabilitation because they provide a sense of company. Biddulph said: “They’re social birds and he stands next to the mirror most of the time.”CLS (LON:CLI) Share Price Passes Below 200-Day Moving Average – Here’s What Happened
Gene Simmons still considers rock music to be "dead". or signup to continue reading The KISS legend, 75, continues to profess that no one has come close to the likes of Elvis Presley The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd. Appearing on 'The Zak Kuhn Show', Simmons was asked if rock is "still dead", to which he replied: "It is. And people don't understand how I can say that when we all have our favourite songs and we love our favourite bands - you and I and everybody else. "But what I mean is that ... Well, let's play a game, and I've done this before. From 1958 until 1988, that's 30 years. 30 years. So what came during that period? Well, we had Elvis, we had The Beatles, The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, all that, Pink Floyd, the solo artists, "David Bowie and just music that lasts forever, we'd like to think. In the disco world, you had Madonna, more heavy guitars, you had - Oh, God - AC/DC and everybody else, Aerosmith and on and on. And you had Motown at the same time. You had Prince. It was a very, very rich musical menu. It could go up and down. You had prog bands, you had Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant and you had the heavy bands, Led Zeppelin and so on. And from 1988 until today, it's something like almost 40 years, certainly 35 years. Who are the new Beatles?" Host Kuhn then suggested grunge pioneers Nirvana, but Simmons insisted most young adults wouldn't be able to name any of the other members of the Smells Like Teen Spirit group – except perhaps late frontman Kurt Cobain and drummer Dave Grohl. He reacted: "Stop. We are blinded. I'm a major fan. If you walked down the street and asked a 20-year-old, 'Who's the bass player in Nirvana?', they wouldn't know what you're talking about. Or, 'Can you sing a Nirvana song?' No, no. The Beatles and, to slightly lesser extent, The Stones and Elvis, everybody knew The Beatles If you hated rock music, you knew about them." Simmons blamed it on a "generation gap" and recalled his son Nick being in his early 20s and talking to a girl wearing a Stones T-shirt and her having no clue who the legendary rock 'n' roll band are. The Rock And Roll All Nite rocker also quipped that he is "delusional enough" to believe KISS are "the most recognised faces on the planet". Simmons insisted fame has a lot to do with the success of rock stars and that the likes of Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl are "more popular" because they engage in media appearances. He added: "Not everybody loves Jesus either. That's not the point. Fame itself is the ultimate reward." Advertisement Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

Ross Barkley’s 85th-minute goal gave them victory in Germany after goals from John McGinn and Jhon Duran early in each half were cancelled out by Lois Openda and Christoph Baumgartner. That sent them up to third in the new league phase of the competition ahead of Wednesday’s games and with matches against Monaco and Celtic to come, Villa have an excellent chance of finishing in the top eight. Job done... in the end 😅 — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) That would mean they would avoid a play-off round to make it through to the last 16 and Emery says that is the target. “Today was key. Juventus at home, we were thinking more to win but in the end we accepted the draw because it was important for a point to be more or less in the top 24,” he told Amazon Prime. “Today was a match we were thinking at the beginning was key to be a contender to be in the top eight with the last two matches to be played. “It is going to be difficult and we have to get some more points but we now have the possibility to achieve this option. “We are going to enjoy and try to get top eight but we have to be happy because we are in the top 24 and maybe even the top 16. “We weren’t contenders in the beginning to get there but now we have to accept it.” Leipzig, who are flying high near the top of the Bundesliga, are out after losing all six matches. They did pose a threat to Villa, who inflicted some of their own problems on themselves, notably a rare gaffe from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for Openda’s equaliser. But Emery was happy with his side’s performance. “I try to enjoy and always we want to improve and sometimes it is hard but today the team were performing well, playing seriously and I was enjoying it,” he added. “We tried to overcome the mistakes we made and we did. More or less we were playing consistently. One mistake and they score but then we played very well. “Champions League is very difficult and we have to expect that every team playing at home are feeling strong. We played with consistency and domination.”

Elon Musk's efforts to get his massive $56 billion 2018 Tesla pay package reinstated was rejected by a Delaware judge on Monday. The decision, issued by Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick, comes after a majority of Tesla shareholders in August reauthorized the compensation package during the electric vehicle maker's annual meeting. After it was initially approved in 2018, the pay package sparked a lawsuit from some Tesla shareholders who accused Musk and Tesla's board of directors of breaching their duties and unjustly enriching the billionaire. In January 2024, McCormick had ruled that Musk and his company failed to prove that the huge payout was legally warranted, prompting Musk to take the issue back to his shareholders in August. In her Dec. 2 decision, McCormick said that Musk had asked the court "to flip its decision and enter judgment in their favor." She added, "The motion to revise is denied," citing what the judge described as "at least four fatal flaws" in arguments from Musk's attorneys. "The large and talented group of defense firms got creative with the ratification argument, but their unprecedented theories go against multiple strains of settled law," McCormick noted. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shares of Tesla fell slightly in after-hours trading, dipping $4.74, or 1.3%, to $352.35. The stock has gained 47% in the last month, buoyed by investor optimism that President-elect Donald Trump's victory at the polls will help boost Tesla's prospects, given Musk's support for his campaign . The stock options Tesla granted to Musk were initially worth $2.6 billion but had soared to $56 billion when McCormick blocked the package in January, according to Bloomberg News . "No basis in the common law" Musk's attorneys had argued that the second vote made clear that Tesla shareholders, with full knowledge of the flaws in the 2018 process that McCormick had earlier pointed out, were adamant that Musk is entitled to the pay package. They asked the judge to vacate her order directing Tesla to rescind the pay package. Among the issues in their latest arguments, McCormick wrote, was a lack of procedural grounds for "flipping the outcome of an adverse post-trial decision based on evidence they created after trial." She also objected to Musk's attempt to recertify the pay package through another shareholder vote, which she wrote his attorneys had argued served as "common law ratification." "What the defendants call 'common law ratification' has no basis in the common law — a stockholder vote standing alone cannot ratify a conflicted-controller transaction," she noted. "[E]ven if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here due to multiple, material misstatements in the proxy statement." McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys, who argue they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than $5 billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of $345 million. Despite the setback, Musk remains the world's wealthiest person, with a net worth of $343 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, the Registration Statement and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PACS engaged in a "scheme" to submit false Medicare claims which "drove more than 100% of PACS' operating and net income from 2020 – 2023"; (2) PACS engaged in a "scheme" to "bill thousands of unnecessary respiratory and sensory integration therapies to Medicare"; (3) PACS engaged in a scheme to falsify documentation related to licensure and staffing; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about PACS' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
