Cardi B has pulled out of an Atlanta music festival after being hospitalized for a medical emergency, the singer said in a statement on Instagram. The rapper was slated to perform as one of Saturday’s headliners at the 15th annual ONE Music Fest, a two-day urban music festival expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees this year. “It breaks my heart that I won’t see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there,” Cardi wrote on Instagram. She said she been recovering in the hospital for the past few days, but didn’t provide any other details about the medical emergency. The news comes just six weeks after Cardi gave birth to her third child with rapper Offset. The couple is in the middle of a contentious divorce. In her statement, Cardi told her fans not to worry about her and thanked them for understanding. “I’ll be back better and stronger soon,” she promised.

Country singer Jason Aldean introduced former President Donald Trump at his rally in Duluth, Georgia on Wednesday—and warmed up the crowd of supporters by complaining about the criticism levied against him for his 2023 hit “Try That in a Small Town.” “I‘ve seen firsthand how the media can twist the truth. They’ve done it to me, simply for putting out a song called ‘Try that in a Small Town,’ if you guys can remember that,” Aldean said to cheers from the audience. “The song simply called out people for trashing our cities, harming people, disrespecting law enforcement, and costing our taxpayers millions of dollars for their unruly behavior. But no one is on the receiving end of lies and fake news more than President Trump.” Aldean’s anti-protestor anthem, which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, sparked controversy when viewers noticed parts of its music video were filmed outside the Maury County Courthouse—the site of the lynching of Henry Choate, an 18-year-old Black teenager, in 1927. The song his been criticized for its racist overtones. Aldean has consistently defended the song and the music video, although he eventually said he would have picked a different location for the video if he knew about the courthouse’s history.

McDonald’s has pulled the quarter pounder off its menu in 20% of its stores in the U.S. as the burger chain attempts to mitigate an e. coli outbreak that has already sickened 49 people and killed one. The Centers for Disease Control confirmed the outbreak on Tuesday, confirming that the potentially deadly bacteria was discovered in at least 10 states. Restaurants in “Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma” have pulled the burger from their menus, according to the agency. The single death so far attributed to the outbreak occurred in Mesa County, Colorado, the county’s public health department announced on Wednesday. At least 26 of the reported cases occurred in Colorado, the agency said. “We fully expect to see more cases,” CDC spokesperson Tom Skinner told Reuters, even though he acknowledged the company has “moved rather quickly” to contain the outbreak. Authorities have not yet pinpointed which ingredient is making people sick, but the Food and Drug Administration said it was potentially the onions served on the burgers. Quarter pounders are typically served with fresh slivered onions—while other menu items, including the Big Mac, are served with diced and cooked onions.

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver a “closing argument” speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday at the Ellipse, the site where former President Donald Trump riled up a crowd before it rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to her campaign. While the vice president has spent much of the final stretch of the campaign blitzing through battleground states, her closing message will be tailored to the American people on a broader level, according to The Washington Post. Tuesday’s event, held exactly a week before Election Day, will see Harris urge the nation to turn the page on Trump. She will contrast her policies to her rival’s, and paint “a dire portrait” of his potential return to office, CNN reported. The Ellipse as a site is a selection charged with political symbolism, as it was where Trump pressed his supporters to march to the Capitol and give “weak” Republicans “the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.” The insurrection occurred hours later. Last August, Trump was indicted on federal charges for working to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

With fuming readers unsubscribing in droves, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is offering a different explanation for his newspaper’s decision to skip making a presidential endorsement this year after his former editorials editor pinned the blame on him. Mariel Garza, who resigned in the wake of the surprise Tuesday announcement, gave an interview to the Columbia Journalism Review in which she said Soon-Shiong had on Oct. 11 informed the Los Angeles Times’ editorial board that it would not be endorsing. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up,” Garza said of her departure. Soon-Shiong disagreed with her characterization of events in a Wednesday post on X, however. “The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation,” he said, arguing that “this clear and non-partisan” presentation would allow readers to come to their own conclusions. “Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision,” he said.

Former President Bill Clinton ripped into 2024 Republican nominees Donald Trump and JD Vance for their “macho talk” at a Kamala Harris rally in Arizona on Wednesday. “For all their macho talk,” said Clinton, “Those boys didn‘t want to get near another debate, did they?” Clinton then mocked them, saying in a deep-pitched voice impersonation,“I‘m tough, I‘m tough.” Clinton appeared at the Harris rally, held in Phoenix, as the election nears in less than two weeks. “Poor old JD Vance, I saw him the other day, I felt so bad for him,” said Clinton in the speech. “He had managed to keep enough dignity to get all the way through the convention and through the campaign without having to say outright that he thought Trump won the election in 2020. He knew he didn’t. But they made him say it last week.” Other politicians have appeared on the campaign trail, such as former President Barack Obama and former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Sarah Jessica Parker has announced that she is supporting Kamala Harris for president, citing her “love” of her country and a laundry list of issues that are at stake in the election. In an Instagram post Wednesday, the actress rattled off all of the reasons that she’s backing Harris: “Our public schools, books, common sense gun laws, a living wage, opportunity, women, voting rights, the Dreamers, arts and culture, my mother and senior citizens, the climate, hope, friends and loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community, freedom, science, affordable healthcare, dignity,” and more. Parker, who previously endorsed Hillary Clinton for president against Trump, included a photo of her hanging a Harris-Walz sign in her window to mark the occasion. She even made a nod to her long-running TV role as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, and in the recent revival And Just Like That, with her endorsement. “For a certain childless cat lady I play on TV,” she wrote. “With an abundance of joy, optimism and pride, I am voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.” Parker’s post garnered over 162,000 likes in three hours, and the comments were turned off.

Ted Danson is making amends with fellow Cheers co-star Kelsey Grammer after an argument three decades ago left their relationship strained. On the latest episode of Danson’s podcast, which featured Grammer as a special guest, the actor who played bartender Sam Malone took accountability for the rift that drove the two apart while they were both on the beloved sitcom, from 1984 to 1993. Danson, without going into details, recalled “getting angry” at Grammer on one occasion. “It’s stuck in both of our memories. But I feel like I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer and I feel like it’s my bad, my doing,” Danson said. “I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back… I really do apologize.” Grammer thanked Danson for his apology and said, “My love for you has always been as easy as the day… as easy as the sunrise.” Grammer, whose character Frasier Crane was introduced in Cheers’ third season, also starred in the show’s hit spin-off, Frasier—which was rebooted for two seasons in 2023. Grammer has faced criticism for his political support of former President Donald Trump, the current GOP nominee.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey missed practice on Wednesday in order to attend jury duty, the NFL team confirmed. The Cowboys announced he missed practice to attend jury duty in a news release on Wednesday afternoon. Aubrey was selected for a 12-person jury in Tarrant County, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. The case he was selected for was for charges of felony assault. According to the same report, the team tried to get him out of the obligation, but the kicker insisted on attending anyway. Aubrey has had a remarkable season this year, with the team calling him their “most consistent player.” In September, he kicked a 65-yard field goal—coming only one yard short of breaking the record for longest field goal set by Justin Tucker in 2021. The team said his status for practice on Thursday and Friday was “unclear.” The Cowboys are scheduled to play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Twice-crowned World’s Strongest Man Geoff Capes has died at 75, his family said Wednesday. Capes, who still held the British shot put record, competed in three Olympic Games from 1972 to 1980. In 1983 and 1985, Capes took home the title of World’s Strongest Man, and was a six-time world champion in the Highland Games, a renowned Scottish strength competition. According to his website, Capes—an iconic British TV star of the 70s and 80s—was 6 feet five and a half inches tall, and weighed 370 pounds at his peak. He also served as a policeman for 10 years, and was a famed breeder of budgerigars, a type of parakeet. Guinness World Records posted to X another record which he still held: “In 1978, Geoff threw a standard 2.27 kg (5 lb) building brick 44.54 m (146 ft 1 in) at Braybrook School in Cambridgeshire, U.K. His record has never been broken.”
