Laura Geller’s “self-adjusting” baked foundations are designed to color-correct dark spots and redness while blurring the look of fine lines and texture.
A woman who vanished from a small mountain community in Arizona in 1994, when she was just 13 years old, has been found alive after 32 years. Christina Marie Plante, now 44, was last seen on May 15, 1994, when she left her home in the Payson area, northeast of Phoenix, to walk to a nearby stable where her horse was kept. Authorities classified her disappearance as occurring under “endangered and suspicious circumstances.” Despite an extensive search involving law enforcement and volunteers, and interviews that yielded no leads, the case went cold—though it was never formally closed. It was eventually assigned to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office’s Cold Case Unit, which used advances in technology and updated investigative techniques to develop new leads and crack the case. Plante was also entered into national missing children databases during the intervening decades. “Investigators have confirmed her identity, and her status as a missing person has been officially resolved,” the sheriff’s office said, crediting cold case review initiatives for “bringing long-awaited answers to families and communities.” Out of respect for Plante’s privacy, authorities said no further details would be released.
Megan Thee Stallion has revealed why she was rushed to the hospital halfway through her Broadway show. The Grammy winner, who is starring in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, was taken for treatment after becoming “very ill” mid-show at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theater. Emergency crews responded to the theater for a person having trouble breathing. In a statement to Variety, her representative said Megan was suffering from “extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels.” She has since been treated, released, and is now resting. Megan later addressed fans directly on Instagram, calling the incident “a real wake-up call” and admitting she had been “pushing” herself too hard. She said she tried to keep performing but felt like she might faint onstage. The rapper said she plans to take a day to recover and expects to return to the production on Thursday.

When I think of powder foundations, my mind immediately defaults to cakey, chalky, and textured finishes—the exact opposite of what most women over 35 are looking for in a complexion product. While they offer unparalleled staying power, traditional powder foundations have a reputation for emphasizing fine lines, clinging to dry patches, and making crepey skin look even more pronounced. But powder formulas have come a long way, and Laura Geller’s bestselling Balance-n-Brighten Baked Color-Correcting Foundation is living proof.
Founded by theatrical makeup artist Laura Geller in 1997, the brand has long been known for its focus on offering inclusive, skincare-infused makeup for mature skin (40+), though it’s developed a loyal following across all age groups. Its baked complexion products are among its most beloved thanks to their silky, cream-like finish. Unlike traditional pressed powders, Laura Geller’s baked formulas start as creams before being transformed into a velvety, demi-matte powder. The result is a lightweight, buildable formula that blurs the appearance of fine lines, texture, and pores without looking flat or overly matte. Instead, the self-adjusting pigments melt into the skin for a natural, second-skin finish and a subtle soft-focus effect.

Each formula in the baked collection (including the Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder Foundation) is handcrafted in Italy using the brand’s proprietary baking technique, in which pigments are baked on terracotta tiles for 24 hours. The process helps ensure the powder feels more like a cream when it hits the skin, minimizing the risk of creasing, caking, or settling into fine lines. Reviewers frequently note how silky it feels on the skin, with buildable coverage that helps conceal dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and redness while softening the look of lines. “Absolutely love this product, nice coverage feels really light on your skin. I’m always getting lovely compliments about my skin when I have used this product,” one 52-year-old reviewer said.

Many also admit they were hesitant to switch from liquid to powder—until they tried it. “I have been using Baked Balance-n-Brighten Correcting Foundation now for almost 3 years, and I will never go back to liquid foundation,” says another five-star reviewer. “I am continually being told how youthful my skin looks, which is fabulous at 65.” If you’re looking for a complexion enhancer that’s compact, mess-free, and capable of delivering natural-looking coverage with a touch of radiance (without caking, creasing, or settling), Laura Geller’s bestseller is well worth adding to your routine.

Hershey Announces Major Reversal After Founder Family’s Fury
Hershey says it will return all Reese’s products to their original recipes after the founder’s grandson blasted the company for replacing key ingredients with cheaper alternatives. The change will come into effect next year. While standard Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have continued to use milk or dark chocolate, some seasonal items, such as mini Easter eggs, are made with coatings containing less chocolate. Those products will return to their original milk and dark chocolate recipes in 2027. The reversal comes after Brad Reese, grandson of company founder H.B. Reese, publicly accused Hershey of damaging the brand’s reputation by replacing key ingredients with alternatives on some products. Speaking to the Associated Press, he said he had to throw out a bag of Reese’s Mini Hearts because it was “not edible.” Hershey said it will also make other changes next year, including shifting to natural colors, updating Kit Kat to make it creamier, and increasing research and development spending by 25 percent. The company has faced pressure from rising cocoa prices in recent years. Hershey has owned the H. B. Reese Candy Company since 1963.
Janai Norman is no longer co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America Weekend, Status reported Wednesday. Norman’s contract had expired, and ABC did not re-up her, people familiar with the matter told the outlet. Norman, 36, interned for ABC in 2011 during college, and in 2016 was hired by the network as a reporter based out of Washington. In 2022, she was named co-anchor of the network’s weekend morning show, which is currently led also by Whit Johnson and Gio Benitez. According to Status, Norman’s last date is unclear, as is whether she will be replaced and if she will remain at ABC. A network spokesperson declined to comment to Status. The Daily Beast has also reached out to ABC for comment. Norman is the host of the television show Oh Baby!, about how animal parents raise their young. The show, which airs on ABC stations, is in its sixth season.

A comedian known for his role on the hit cartoon Bob’s Burgers was hospitalized after he was dragged out of a burning car involved in an accident on Tuesday. Eugene Mirman, 51, was pulled out of his 2026 Lucid Gravity by a state trooper after he struck a toll plaza in Bedford, New Hampshire. The comedian, who voices Gene Belcher in the popular adult cartoon, was taken to the hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries, a spokesman for the New Hampshire State Police said. Mirman’s agent confirmed that he was involved in a “very scary car accident” but was “on the mend.” New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte was also on the scene and aided the state trooper, who was assigned to her security detail, in pulling Mirman out of his luxury SUV. Aside from his role as the middle child of Bob and Linda Belcher in the popular cartoon, Mirman has appeared in shows like Flight of the Conchords, Archer, and Broad City. Police said that an investigation into the crash is ongoing.
New DNA testing has “definitively linked” the serial killer Ted Bundy to the half-century-old unsolved murder of Laura Ann Aime, a 17-year-old Utah girl who disappeared on Halloween night in 1974, reports the Associated Press. Police say Bundy confessed to the murder of Aime before his execution in 1989, but a definitive link could not be confirmed until now. “We’ve had the desire to deliver to you some type of healing, we can’t really say closure,” Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Reynolds said on Wednesday, addressing the girl’s family. The state’s crime lab preserved evidence from the case, and when it received advanced DNA testing technology in 2023, investigators were able to extract a single male DNA profile from the evidence, which was later matched to Bundy. “Laura Aime is the quintessential daughter of Utah County,” Reynolds said about the girl. Utah County is just south of Salt Lake City and includes the city of Provo. Aime, then studying at the University of Utah, was last seen at a party on Halloween night. She was found dead, bound, and undressed by hikers less than a month later. Bundy had a penchant for targeting girls, killing over 30 young women during his years-long murder rampage.

Even when I was editing Cosmopolitan—where the editorial brief reliably circled back to orgasms and pay rises in roughly equal measure—I don’t recall encountering anything quite as, well, bespoke as Bryon Noem’s particular tastes in crossdressing, complete with absurdist fake boobs and athleisure leggings. There’s something almost boyishly literal about it, as though confronted by the aggressively engineered silhouettes of MAGA femininity—breasts hoisted, sculpted, cantilevered into improbable topography—he’s opted to recreate the effect using party supplies. Because that’s the detail you can’t quite shake: balloons. The cheerful detritus of children’s birthdays and clown acts, twisted here into something else entirely. Inflated, tied, positioned as nipples. A homemade anatomy. A very private workaround. In a world of ever-escalating enhancement, the filters, fillers, surgical bravado and sameness, there’s something perversely innocent about an adult retreating into the games of their childhood.Who didn’t in their youth stuff a balloon up their shirt?

Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, socialite Bettina Anderson, plans to host her bridal shower at the President’s Mar-a-Lago estate in mid-April. The event will be an “elegant” and “ladylike” Enchanted Garden-themed luncheon at a small ballroom inside the main mansion, Page Six reported. The 39-year-old’s celebration is expected to be the function of the season, with mobs of Palm Beach socialites scrambling for an invite to the limited engagement. “Lots of noses are out of joint who haven’t gotten their invitation,” a source said. The luncheon is set to be hosted by Palm Beach socialites Yaz Hernandez, Amy Phelan, and Audrey Gruss. Anderson, the daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson, has reportedly been eager to align herself closely with the Trumps’ political influence through her relationship with Don Jr., 48. The duo was engaged at Camp David in December 2025. According to a political source that spoke to People, Trump was first “off-put” by his son’s third engagement because of her “eagerness to join forces with the Trumps.” Page Six believes a White House wedding could be in the cards this spring. Don Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump, with whom he shares five children. He also broke off an engagement with Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, in 2024. Anderson was engaged previously to billionaire Beau Wrigley. The Daily Beast has reached out to Anderson for comment.

If you rely on coffee for its focus-boosting powers but could do without the jitters, stomach flips, and inevitable mid-afternoon crash, it might be time to rethink what’s actually in your cup. Enter the new wave of functional blends that promise steady energy without the rollercoaster. My go-to functional coffee? Everyday Dose’s mushroom coffee. Yes, mushroom coffee isn’t exactly a novel concept.
If you’ve tried early iterations, you know the flavor could skew aggressively earthy—more forest floor than flat white. The category has evolved, and Everyday Dose is part of a newer class of brands prioritizing taste as much as function. The result is a brew that’s creamy, smooth, and convincingly coffee-forward, not overtly fungal.
The formula pairs real coffee with nootropic and adaptogenic mushrooms traditionally associated with cognitive support and stress modulation, plus grass-fed collagen for added protein and skin-supporting benefits. Instead of triggering your nervous system, the blend is designed to promote more sustained, even energy—think clear-headed focus without the wired feeling or abrupt crash.
Beyond energy, Everyday Dose leans into the ritual aspect. It dissolves easily, has a naturally mellow finish, and doesn’t require masking with syrups or heavy cream to make it palatable. Plus, for those with sensitive stomachs, many people find mushroom-forward blends easier on digestion than high-acid traditional brews.
Of course, it’s still coffee (you’ll get the caffeine you’re drinking it for—don’t worry), but the added functional ingredients appear to soften the sharper edges of the experience. The net effect feels less like a caffeine spike and more like a steady hum. Precisely what I need in 2026.
For anyone curious about upgrading their morning ritual without giving up the comfort (or flavor) of a proper cup, Everyday Dose makes a strong case that functional coffee has officially grown up.

Trump Makes Tiger Woods Prediction After His Treatment Announcement
President Donald Trump has predicted Tiger Woods will bounce right back after his recent DUI arrest and announcement of plans to seek treatment. “It’s a good thing that he’s doing, but he’s going to end up being terrific. He’s a great guy,” Trump told Reuters. “He’s one of the greatest people I’ve known. He’s a great champion... he’ll be fine. He’s going to be terrific.” Woods, a 15-time major champion, was arrested last Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, on charges of driving under the influence after his Land Rover rolled over on a two-lane road. No one was injured. Authorities reported that Woods appeared lethargic with bloodshot, glassy eyes and was found with opioid painkillers. Following his arrest, Woods said he was stepping away from golf “to seek treatment.” He pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges on Tuesday. Trump, who awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019, has been a longtime supporter of the golfer, who is in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

Trump’s top billionaire pal is slashing thousands of jobs as his tech company pours billions into artificial intelligence. Larry Ellison—whom Trump tapped to join his science and technology advisory council—has overseen sweeping layoffs at Oracle, with about 10,000 employees losing their jobs, according to BBC. The cuts span “senior engineers, architects, operations leaders, program managers, and technical specialists, according to the company’s senior manager Michael Shepherd who took to LinkedIn to address the massive layoffs. For many workers, the life-changing news came via email. A source told Business Insider the farewell message said, “After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change.” Ellison, whose net worth sits around $189 billion—making him the sixth-richest person in the world according to Forbes—has been pushing aggressively into artificial intelligence. The cuts come as Oracle closed on a reported $300 billion data center deal tied to OpenAI.
