ABC weatherman Sam Champion revealed to viewers that he has been battling skin cancer on a Friday Good Morning America segment that delved into his health challenge. After noticing an atypical mark on his face, Champion went to the doctor and was diagnosed with nodular basal cell carcinoma. In early October, he had surgery to remove the cancer. Champion explained during the segment that during outdoor reporting trips earlier in his career, he wouldn’t wear sunscreen and would end up with “blistering sunburns.” “When I’m not bringing you the weather, I love nothing more than being outside, but these days I wouldn’t think about going outside without sunscreen,” he said. Champion said the next step in his journey will be caring for the prominent scar left by the removal. He thanked his viewers for their support and urged them to look after their skin: “I hope that one day no one has to go through surgery to get rid of skin cancer, but, right now, we have to keep our eye on our skin, our hands on our skin, be very vigilant and notice any unusual spots, and if those spots start to change, immediately get care.”

Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the hit Netflix TV series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, is looking to make bonus episodes of the show if the Menendez brothers are released, according to a Variety interview. After the series of the two became a hit when it was released in September, the case of the Menendez brothers was reinvigorated, with many calling for their release. Lyle and Erik, who were found guilty for the 1989 murder of their parents, are currently serving life sentences without parole. That, however, is now under review by the Los Angeles district attorney due to additional evidence, which could mean a possible resentencing or freedom. Both argued that they were sexually and psychologically abused by their father, and were acting in self defense. Murphy told Variety on Thursday that if the brothers are released, he’d want to make additional episodes. “It’s been discussed, I’ll tell you that much. Everyone has been interested in that,” he said to Variety. “I think everyone wants to see how this story ends because this story is not over.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cheryl Hines showed up arm-in-arm to the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner at the New York Hilton on Thursday night amidst a scandal stemming from an alleged affair he conducted with New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi. The two were seated next to one another, according to the New York Post. Former President Donald Trump headlined the event, a white tie charity fundraiser that’s become an election-year tradition in its own right, known for decades for being the last time the major party presidential candidates share a stage before Election Day. For the first time in 40 years, however, only one candidate was present at the dinner. Vice President Kamala Harris said last month that she would not be able to attend the dinner, citing a scheduling conflict. The vice president instead appeared at the event by way of a pre-recorded video address.

‘HAVE TO BE CIRCUMSPECT’

Martha Stewart says it was “very easy” to keep her affair that she had during her marriage to ex-husband Andrew Stewart a secret. The business mogul made the cheeky comment during a Wednesday book launch party. The Daily Mail reports that the topic was brought up by businessman Lee Brian Schrager, who, in a video posted by the outlet, can be seen interviewing Stewart at the event. “If you‘re looking for ideas [for another book] maybe you could talk about how you [had] an affair that happened 30 years ago and you kept it a secret, how is that possible?” Schrager said to Stewart. In response, the homemaker extraordinaire grabbed the microphone and said, “’Very easy, you have to be circumspect.” The affair bombshell first came to light in a trailer for Stewart’s new self-titled Netflix documentary released last week. In the trailer, she admits to the tryst and says she doesn’t think Andrew, or Andy as she calls him, knew about it. The couple, who share one daughter, Alexis Stewart, wed in 1961 before splitting in 1990.

Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars Under Probe After Killing Pedestrian
REPEAT RECALL

The U.S. government’s road safety agency opened an investigation on Thursday about Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system after reports of crashes in low-visibility. The National Highway Transit Safety Administration said it will look into the Full Self-Driving’s ability to “detect and respond appropriately to reduced roadway visibility conditions, and if so, the contributing circumstances for these crashes.” Tesla reported four crashes, including one pedestrian killed in November 2023, because of sun glare, fog and airborne dust that interfered with the car’s cameras. The investigation comes at the heels of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s announcement of a new fully autonomous robotaxi. Robotaxis without steering wheels or pedals would be available in Texas and California starting in 2026, Musk said. Tesla is also planning to implement autonomous cars with no human drivers next year. Tesla has previously said that the “Full Self-Driving” system can’t drive itself and a human driver needs to be ready to intervene at all times. The company previously recalled Full Self-Driving twice under pressure from NHTSA.

Trump Overcharged Secret Service at His Hotel, Dems Say
BUSINESS AS USUAL
Published 10.18.24 12:41PM EDT

A new report by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee accuses Donald Trump of grossly overcharging his Secret Service detail when he was president, demanding as much as 300 percent of their per diem for accommodations at the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. As NBC News reports, agents assigned to Eric Trump and his wife, Lara, were billed $600 per room on the night of November 28, 2017, when more than 80 rooms were rented at a lower rate. During his presidency, Trump‘s since-sold D.C. property became a sort of hub for party operatives and the people in Trump’s orbit, which struck many media outlets as a potential conflict of interest. Examining just 11 months of his time in office, the Democrats' report puts some numbers on all that mixing and mingling. For example: Kelly Craft, whom Trump twice appointed as an ambassador, reportedly spent $30,000 at the hotel. A total of four of his ambassadorial nominees, four administration officials and commissioners, one judicial nominee, and five people he would eventually pardon also stayed and spent money at the property in those 11 months. Even this short period “reveals a menagerie of unethical transactions,” the report argues. “Just as his hotels were used to shake down foreign governments and monarchs, they were used also to fleece American taxpayers.”

Texas Supreme Court Grants Emergency Stay to Halt Controversial Execution

The Texas Supreme Court issued an emergency stay on Thursday night, halting the execution of a prisoner convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter that critics say might be innocent. Robert Roberson was convicted of capital murder in 2002 for the death of his daughter Nikki, who prosecutors argued suffered from “shaken baby syndrome.” In the 20 years Roberson has sat on death row, critics have scrutinized the evidence used in the case. “Mounting evidence suggests that Nikki died from a combination of pneumonia and improperly prescribed medication,” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a 10-page statement on Thursday after the high court refused to halt the execution. Robeson’s other advocates include a coalition of both Republicans and Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives, the original detective who investigated the case, as well as bestselling author John Grisham. In her statement on Thursday, Sotomayor also urged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to intervene and grant a reprieve of 30 days for the state’s pardon board to reconsider the evidence. Abbott has not commented about this case, and has only halted one execution during his tenure as governor of Texas.

The United Auto Workers union challenged Donald Trump to work a 12-hour shift after the former president said a child could do an auto assembly-line job. The union shared a video Wednesday from one of their Ohio members, Dawnya Ferdinansen, challenging the Republican nominee to pick up a shift. “I want to see you assemble parts ‘out of a box’ for 12 hours,” Ferdinansen said. “Until you actually work a manual labor job, you keep the name of the UAW out of your mouth.” Trump made the dig about industry workers during an interview at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday. “They build everything in Germany, and then they assemble it here,” Trump said. “They take them out of a box and they assemble them. We could have our child do it.” UAW President Shawn Fain also responded to Trump’s comment, “Donald Trump is a billionaire who’s never worked a real job in his life. He doesn’t know the first thing about hard work, and he wouldn’t last a day in an auto plant. He isn’t fit to be an autoworker, and he certainly isn’t fit to be the President,” Fain said.

Florence Pugh looked a little different at the BFI London Film Festival on Thursday. To promote their new movie We Live in Time, co-star Andrew Garfield brought a cardboard cutout of Pugh to pose with on the red carpet of the film’s London premiere. The actress is currently in New Zealand filming East of Eden, a Netflix adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel. “It truly hurts not being there to celebrate the release but I’m raising glass from very far away. Love to you all. Fingers crossed you don’t get up and leave,” Pugh wrote on her Instagram story. The cutout appears to be of Pugh at a recent New York screening of the film. We Live in Time, which premiered on Oct. 11, follows Garfield and Pugh as a couple over the course of a decade.
