The-ranking Democrat wants to deploy a “special drone-detecting” system in both New Jersey and New York, where a large chunk of the sightings have been reported.
The lawsuit was initially raised in 2019 and alleged that the company did not adjust wages for its Anaheim theme park workers in accordance to a city ballot.

Actor Sydney Sweeney has shot back at those commenting negatively on her body, with celebrities showing their support for the star. Sweeney took to Instagram with a video compilation of hate comments directed at her. “Quite frumpy isn’t she,” read one comment in the video. Others questioned whether she was “preggo” and said she looked “dumpy.” Another added, “Let’s be real here, the body is not that incredible.” The video then takes a turn, showing clips of Sweeney working out, seemingly preparing for her role as boxer Christy Martin in a new biopic. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 527,000 users liked the post, which had no caption. Stars took to the comments to show support for Sweeney. “You’re such a badass. “his movie is gonna be 🔥.” fellow actor Glen Powell commented on the post. Lili Reinhart commented, “It’s always wild to see people publicly out-themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

Despite building off beloved Spider-Man IP, J.C. Chandor’s Kraven the Hunter had a rather disappointing start at the domestic box office this weekend, earning only $11 million, per AP. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the film reportedly cost around $110 million to make and currently stands as one of the worst openings for Sony’s Spider-Verse roster, trailing behind Madame Web’s $15.3 million opening. Moana 2 and Wicked are finding more luck at the box office however, with the former topping the chart for yet another weekend and adding $26.6 million to its domestic total. Moana 2 has so far made a global revenue of $717 million, surpassing Dune: Part Two to become the fourth highest grossing film of the year. Meanwhile, Wicked brought in $22.5 million in its fourth weekend, and has grossed over $500 million worldwide. Elsewhere, Warner Bros.’ animated The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrimhad an even more disappointing start at the box office than Kraven, earning only $4.6 million to its almost $30 million budget.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York is fed up with the lack of information surrounding a rash of mysterious aircraft sightings in his state. While the federal government has previously said there is no evidence to prove the drones posed a national security or safety threat, one of the highest-ranking Democrats is not convinced. Schumer held a press conference Sunday telling reporters he wants to pass and co-sponsor legislation to give authorities better detection technology. He also went as far as to ask Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to deploy a “special drone-detecting” system in both New Jersey and New York, where a large chunk of the sightings have been reported. The system has a 360-degree technology, according to Schumer, “that has a much better chance at detecting these drones.” He added: “It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, it’s a drone.” Mayorkas told ABC’s This Week Sunday that additional resources are on the way. “It is our job to be vigilant,” he said. “If there is any reason for concern, if we identify any foreign involvement or criminal activity we will communicate with the American public accordingly. Right now we are not aware of any.”
I’m pushing for answers amid these drone sightings.
I’m calling for @SecMayorkas to deploy special drone-detection tech across NY and NJ.
And I’m working to pass a bill in the Senate to give local law enforcement more tools for drone detection.
Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose is stretchered off the field after an illegal hit. Miami Herald/TNS
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose was stretchered off the field after taking a helmet-to-helmet tackle that left him motionless as his terrified teammates prayed for his safety. DuBose, 23, was struck by Houston Texans safety Calen Bullock as he tried to catch a pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. DuBose appeared to clench his fists immediately after the hit—a response common after traumatic brain injuries, the Associated Press reported. He did not move as medical staff treated him on the field for over 10 minutes. Dolphins players surrounded him and later knelt in what appeared to be a prayer circle. Medical staff cut off DuBose’s jersey and placed him in a neck brace before removing him from the field on a spinal board. Sunday’s game was only DuBose’s third appearance since he was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins in August, after sustaining a shoulder injury just two games into the regular season. The Dolphins later confirmed DuBose was in stable condition while undergoing evaluation at a local hospital, and was ruled out with a head injury. Texans safety Calen Bullock was flagged for unnecessary roughness after the hit.
Terrifying moment as Grant DuBose is taken off the field on a stretcher. His jersey was cut off and face mask was unscrewed while lying on the field.

Sex toys are a fun and spicy way to add more excitement to the bedroom. However, most are designed for solo pleasure—which is a lot less exciting.MysteryVibe solved this issue with its Tenuto 2 vibrator. Now, MysteryVibe has improved its design and effectiveness in the new Tenuto Mini.
The secret to the Tenuto Mini is the three robust motors that deliver powerful vibrations on key erogenous zones at the head or base of the penis. It’s made with a water-resistant and flexible silicone that fits most penis sizes, soft or hard. The vibrations stimulate the penis to increase blood flow and arousal for harder erections.
However, that’s not all this small-yet-mighty vibrator can do. The Tenuto Mini keeps men harder longer. Slide the vibrator down to the base of the penis to gently constrict blood flow, extending performance and pleasure. Plus, those powerful motors don’t forget the clit exists, stimulating it as well for mind-blowing pleasure.
Everything can be controlled via buttons on the vibrator itself or Bluetooth with the free companion app—opening up a whole new avenue of pleasure and play. With the app, you or your partner can explore and control 16 different vibrational intensity levels, fine-tuning the vibrator to both of your likings. Once you nailed it, save the vibration patterns for quick access for the next time. The only limitation is your imagination. Worried about privacy? MysteryVibe thought of that. The packaging is discreet and—as a bonus—the shipping is free.

The Walt Disney Co. has agreed to settle a class-action wage theft lawsuit for $233 million. Initially raised in 2019, the lawsuit alleged that Disney did not adjust the wages for its Anaheim theme park workers after the passage of Measure L, an Anaheim ballot proposition that required any company receiving tax rebates from the city to pay their workers at least $15 per hour. The multimillion-dollar settlement will provide back pay with interest to workers at Disney’s Anaheim theme park, with the city also set to raise its minimum wage to $20.50 per hour in 2025. Disney approved the preliminary settlement on Friday, and a Superior Court Judge is set to review it on Jan. 17. Once approved, workers will be notified on how much money they’ll be receiving. “It’s a big win and we’re happy,” Melissa Partida, a room service employee at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel in Anaheim, told The Los Angeles Times. “The cost of living here is very expensive. I don’t know how much back pay I’m going to get, but whatever it is, I didn’t have it before.”

Iranian authorities arrested a female singer after she performed a virtual concert on YouTube without a hijab. Parastoo Ahmady, 27, was taken into custody in Iran’s Sari City on Saturday, days after the judiciary had filed a case against Ahmady’s her online performance. “Unfortunately, we do not know the charges against Ms. Ahmady, who arrested her, or her place of detention, but we will follow up on the matter through legal authorities,” her lawyer told the Associated Press. Per Iranian law, women in the country are not permitted to appear without a hijab in front of men to whom they are not related. Women are also not allowed to sing by themselves in public in Iran. In Ahmady’s video, she sang while wearing a long black sleeveless and collarless dress, but no head covering. She was joined by four male musicians two of which were also arrested. Ahmady posted her video on Friday with the note: “I am Parastoo, a girl who wants to sing for the people I love. This is a right I could not ignore; singing for the land I love passionately.” It has since been viewed more that 1.9 million times.

A Los Angeles home with a macabre celebrity history is on the market for an exorbitant price tag. The former Hollywood Hills residence of the late actress Brittany Murphy, who died there at age 32 in December 2009, has been listed for $18 million, according to People. Five months after she passed away due to untreated pneumonia, Murphy’s late husband Simon Monjack was found dead at the property. The Clueless and 8 Mile star bought the home for $3.85 million in 2003 from Britney Spears, whose former makeup artist Julianne Kaye, said the singer left the home believing a reiki healer she used accidentally opened up “some spirit portal” that let in “bad spirits” that might “push her down the stairs or something crazy.” The home’s current owners bought it in 2020. The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 9,400 square-foot mansion has failed to sell upon listing several times in recent years, People said, including when it was listed for $19 million last year.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to shock the Internet with his antics—this time, with his choice of workout gear. The president-elect’s nominee for the Secretary of Health and Human Services showed up to an Equinox gym in New York City in “tight jeans,” according to Page Six. The 70-year-old was also wearing hiking boots, with the source comparing him to a “construction worker.” “Some people didn’t know who he was, and were like, ‘Who’s that older guy?‘” said the source to Page Six. “He looked like a construction worker in tight jeans and a T-shirt.” According to the source, members of the fancy gym were laughing at him. On his Instagram, the politician can be seen working out on various occasions in jeans. “Practicing moves for my confirmation hearing,” he jokingly wrote in an Instagram post at the gym. “SERIOUS QUESTION: Has anyone looked into why RFK Jr. works out in jeans,” an X user wrote. “Like -- what’s the deal?” Another added, “RFK Jr loves working out in jeans and that always seems like the last thing I want to wear when working out…"

Mike Tyson poses with guests at President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Brian Schottenstein/Instagram
Former heavyweight champion and retired boxer Mike Tyson was spotted at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Saturday, according to an Instagram post by a real estate executive. Brian Schottenstein, the president of Columbus-based Schottenstein Real Estate Group, shared an image of himself posing with the former “Kid Dynamite,”58, who in 1986 became the youngest man to win a heavyweight title. Trump and Tyson have had a relationship dating back to the fighter’s early career, when the future politician hosted boxing matches in Atlantic City. “I always remember him from being a good guy, paying me a lot of money,” Tyson told The Pivot podcast in 2022. The longtime Trump pal has been something of a fixture at Mar-a-Lago in recent days: last week, he was seen there with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump’s proposed nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, and his spouse, actress Cheryl Hines. Schottenstein‘s post also shows Trump was on hand at some point during the day before he headed to Maryland to attend the Army-Navy football game. In a 2019 appearance on actor Michael Rapaport’s podcast, Tyson praised Trump for standing by him after he was convicted of rape in 1992: “He only said beautiful things about me.”
Fashion brand Mango’s billionaire founder, Isak Andic, has died in a hiking accident in Spain, the company said. The 71-year-old slipped and fell from a 150-foot-high cliff Saturday while hiking with family in Montserrat near Barcelona, local media reported. Mango chief executive Toni Ruiz said in a statement: “It is with deep regret that we announce the unexpected death of Isak Andic, our non-executive chairman and founder of Mango, in an accident that occurred this Saturday.” Ruiz hailed Andic as an “example for all of us.” “He dedicated his life to Mango, leaving an indelible mark thanks to his strategic vision, his inspiring leadership and his unwavering commitment to values that he himself imbued in our company,” he continued. Andic, who opened his first Mango store in Barcelona in 1984, was worth $4.5 billion at the time of his death, according to Forbes.
