Less than two weeks after the shocking shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the first documentary about the alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, has been announced. The doc will explore how killers are created and the national conversation about whether Thompson’s assassination was justified. It will also delve into Americans’ grievances with rising costs and claim denials in the healthcare industry, Variety reported. Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League grad from a wealthy Maryland family, allegedly shot and killed Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4. The shooting prompted a five-day national manhunt, which ended with Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. In his reported manifesto, Mangione called healthcare companies “parasites” and said they “continue to abuse our country for immense profit.” The doc will be produced by Alex Gibney, who won an Oscar for his 2008 documentary Taxi to the Dark Side. He’s also currently in production on a documentary about Elon Musk and a documentary based on Salman Rushdie’s memoir.

Another child from a famous family is heading to the University of Miami. Lauren Sánchez, the fiancée of Jeff Bezos, announced that her son Evan Whitesell will study business at the school in Coral Gables, Florida, where Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, is currently enrolled. “My heart is bursting,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “Beyond proud of you. Love you.” Evan, whose father is Sánchez’s ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, will be attending the university next year, while Kai Trump is just a high school junior. In August, Kai Trump announced her plans to attend the university, thanking her grandfather and president-elect in an Instagram post. “I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support,” she wrote in the post. Bezos and Donald Trump have long feuded, but the Amazon mogul appears to have made amends with the president-elect in recent months, congratulating him on his victory.

Former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov has pleaded guilty to lying about a false bribery conspiracy that was once a main point of contention against Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Smirnov’s allegation sparked widespread controversy against the two Bidens, starting the House impeachment inquiry into the president by Republicans. Smirnov, 44, pleaded guilty to four federal charges relating to the fake allegations, as well as tax evasion charges that alleged he hid millions of dollars in income, according to The Hill. He told the FBI that the head of Burisma, a energy company in Ukraine, had paid the president and his son both $5 million. The allegations were false. No proof has been released that Joe Biden accepted bribes or engaged in corruption during his time as president nor vice president and he has denied all allegations. Court documents also revealed that Smirnov said he gave “false derogatory information,” according to The Hill. Smirnov had been an informant for more than a decade, his identity was not revealed until he was indicted. Smirnov, who will be sentenced next month, agreed to a sentence of between 48 and 72 months. An attorney for Smirnov declined to comment after the hearing in Los Angeles federal court.

Nicole Kidman almost retired before making some of her most popular projects from recent years, she said in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning. “I think I’m pretty much done now,” she recalled thinking in 2008, just after giving birth to her daughter Sunday, one of two children the actress shares with husband Keith Urban. “I’d moved to Nashville, we were living on a farm, and that’s when my mum actually said, ‘I wouldn’t give up completely. Keep a finger in it,’” Kidman said. Her mother Janelle Kidman died in September at the age of 84. Kidman credited her mom for her continuing her acting career, which led to more award-winning work for the already Oscar-winning actress, like Big Little Lies, Being the Ricardos, Bombshell, and more—including her buzzy new film Babygirl. Kidman said her mother told her, “‘Just listen to me. Keep moving forward,’” she also recalled. “‘Not saying you have to do it to the level you’ve been doing it, but I wouldn’t give it up completely.’”

It all starts in the land Down Under—Australia. Mr Black sources its ingredients, including 100 percent specialty-grade Arabica coffee, from local farmers and cooperatives. The liqueur is then slowly brewed with purified cold water to preserve its delicate, complex flavors. The result? A bittersweet masterpiece with bold flavor, balanced sweetness, and a lasting coffee kick. Its rich, coffee-forward taste is a crowd-pleaser, and the sleek bottle design adds a touch of elegance to any bar cart. Making an espresso martini is simple. Combine Mr Black, vodka, and freshly brewed espresso in a shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously until cold. Then, strain the mixture into a martini glass and finish with three coffee beans as a garnish. Skip the champagne toast this year and ensure you stay awake for the countdown to 2025 with a Mr Black espresso martini.

After hard launching their relationship at Mar-a-Lago this past week, Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson were seen flying to Madrid, according to a report. Photos posted by the Daily Mail showed the two sitting down at Miami International Airport on Thursday, Anderson with what appeared to be a beer and Don Jr. with a Diet Coke. The two have caused quite a stir during the past week, with reports first stating that Don Jr. and his fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, split. Anderson and Don Jr. have been seeing each other for months, according to reports, with Guilfoyle allegedly looking the other way. “She loves the power and lifestyle,” one source said of Guilfoyle, who was apparently blinded by her proximity to the prominent family. President-elect Donald Trump also just picked Guilfoyle as the ambassador to Greece, with sources claiming that it Anderson’s idea to ship the former Fox News host out of the country. “Bettina wants Kim out of the area,” a political source told the magazine.

A flight to Mexico was forced to make an unplanned landing in Bermuda due to a noxious odor wafting from the 100 pigs in the plane’s cargo hold. Flight KL685, operated by Dutch airline KLM, had departed from Amsterdam en route to Mexico City on Friday. Six hours into the flight, the pilot requested to make an unplanned stop for fresh air due to the “obnoxious” smell being emitted from the live pigs stowed aboard. The aircraft, its crew, and the 259 human passengers landed in Bermuda late Friday where the were put up in hotels for the night due to reported “oxygen issues.” Ultimately the 100 pigs were unloaded and left on the island, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner departed for Mexico City on Saturday following a nearly 30-hour delay. “The pigs, living high on the hog during their impromptu holiday stopover, are being cared for at a secure location on the island, with assistance from a government veterinarian,” a Skyport spokesperson said. On Sunday night, the swine were loaded onto an empty cargo plane and sent to Mexico City.

An L.A. Dodgers fan is managing to look on the bright side despite four operations and counting to repair a gruesome injury he suffered setting off fireworks to celebrate his team’s World Series victory. Kevin King, 25, lost a large part of his left hand—including his index and middle fingers—after a random person handed him a firework, which he then lit, as fans took to the streets following the Dodgers’ Game 5 win over the New York Yankees in late October. King has undergone several surgeries, including skin grafts and other reconstructive procedures, and will eventually need to be fitted with a prosthetic, according to a GoFundMe his sister started to help pay his medical bills. He has also suffered hearing loss because of the accident. Despite it all, King remained upbeat during a recent interview with TMZ. “If you’re only losing a couple of fingers, don’t worry about it,” he said. “Thankful it wasn’t my face, eye or ears.” In her GoFundMe post, Gloria Nuno described her brother as “kind hearted,” saying he loves to make people smile and enjoys his job working in oil fields. “Our family is so grateful to still have him in our lives today,” she wrote, adding that he had lit the firework without thinking. King told TMZ he isn’t looking for sympathy but that he hopes to serve as an example to others—and to encourage them not to light fireworks.

Pete Hegseth plans to let a woman who accused him of sexual assault out of a confidentiality agreement, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Former Fox News star Hegseth—President-elect Donald Trump’s embattled pick to lead the Department of Defense—said during a private meeting last week that he would release the woman from the deal barring her from discussing her allegations publicly, Graham told NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday. The woman accused Hegseth in 2017 of trapping her in a hotel room at a conference in Monterey, California, and forcing her to have a sexual encounter even after she repeatedly said “no,” according to a police report. Hegseth says the encounter was consensual and no charges were filed, with his attorney claiming that he later reached a settlement with the woman that included a confidentiality clause out of fear that her claims could cost him his job at Fox. “He told me he would release her from that agreement,” Graham told NBC, adding that those making allegations against Hegseth should do so in public. “Right now, he’s being tried by anonymous sources. That will not stand,” the lawmaker added. Hegseth’s lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, has previously said the confidentiality agreement is no longer in effect, but threatened to sue the woman for defamation if she makes “false statements” about his client.

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.

Melania Trump on Sunday attended a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago with her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, and Akie Abe, the widow of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Reports of the upcoming meeting circulated last week, with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins first reporting the private dinner was in the works via “a person familiar” with the plans. Trump and Shinzo reportedly became fast friends during Trump’s first term, though their friendship was cut short after the latter was assassinated at a political rally in 2022. CNN reported Akie and the president-elect have remained close since. Melania’s Sunday night post appears to confirm that, describing the meeting as a “privilege.” Melania can be seen to Akie’s left, while Donald is on her right, giving a thumbs-up. Melania added: “We fondly remembered her late husband, former Prime Minister Abe, and honored his remarkable legacy.”

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 Rohirrim had an even more disappointing start at the box office than Kraven, earning only $4.6 million against its almost $30 million budget.
