A veteran zookeeper has died days after she was mauled inside a leopard enclosure. The woman, who had worked at the Beekse Bergen park in the south of the Netherlands for 40 years, was caring for two Persian leopards in an indoor facility on Saturday when she was brutally attacked. She suffered injuries to her head and neck. Dutch news website NL Times reported that the woman alerted colleagues over her walkie-talkie before being flown to the hospital by helicopter in critical condition. She underwent emergency surgery, but the park confirmed her death on Tuesday. No CCTV cameras operate inside the enclosures, so the exact details of the attack remain unclear. An independent investigation will be launched. A park spokesperson told Omroep Brabant the leopards were acting on their instincts and will not be euthanized. “They are, and remain, predators.”

Actor Danny Masterson has lost his appeal against his rape conviction. The star of That ‘70s Show was convicted in 2023 of two counts of rape against two women in 2003 and was sentenced to 30 years in jail. Masterson filed an appeal in December, in which he claimed he did not receive a fair trial, as Los Angeles Superior Court judge Charlaine F. Olmedo was biased against his religion of Scientology. In an 89-page ruling filed in the California Court of Appeal on Tuesday, a three-judge panel rejected Masterson’s arguments, finding that Olmedo’s statements during the trial showed “no animus or departure from neutrality regarding Scientology”. Masterson claimed the judge had demonstrated bias by “comparing Scientology to white supremacists, gangs, and Satanists,” according to his appeal filings. The panel noted in the appeal that the actor himself had asked the court, ahead of his trial, to limit references to Scientology given the poor reputation of the organization in the general public. Masterson’s lawyers, Cliff Gardner and Eric Multhaup, called it an “unfortunate decision,” telling Variety they would appeal to the California Supreme Court.

The official cause of death of Office Space star Richard Riehle has been released. Riehle died at age 78 in Los Angeles on October 15, with friends telling TMZ at the time that he had died of natural causes. On Tuesday, the publication reported that his death certificate states Riehle died from a stroke, with oropharyngeal cancer, a type of throat cancer, listed as the underlying cause of death. The actor was cremated on October 23. Riehle appeared in more than 400 projects during his five-decade-long Hollywood career, including Free Willy, Casino, Fried Green Tomatoes, Wedding Crashers, Bridesmaids and the Air Bud franchise. Riehle played Tom Smykowski, a cynical product manager, in the 1999 film Office Space, starring alongside Jennifer Aniston. His character in the film became a cult hero after inventing the infamous ‘Jump to Conclusions’ mat before getting laid off, surviving a freak car accident, and collecting a massive settlement. “Our industry has lost an exceptional talent, and our community has lost a truly wonderful man,” Wright Entertainment said in a statement earlier this month.

If you (or your partner) snore at night, you know how disruptive it can be to getting a good night’s sleep. While plenty of over-the-counter remedies promise to silence snoring, from nasal strips to specialty pillows, anti-snoring mouthguards can be an effective, drug-free option for certain types of snoring. These devices work by gently positioning the lower jaw forward to help keep the upper airway open during sleep, reducing the vibrations that cause snoring in the first place.

GoodSleepCo’s Hushd Avera Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece is a doctor-designed, adjustable mouthguard with two settings, allowing users to find a more personalized balance of comfort and support. Unlike one-size-fits-all mouthguards, the Hushd Avera is designed to mold to the user’s teeth at home in approximately two minutes—no trip to the dentist required.

The customizable mouthpiece is made from medical-grade, BPA-free, latex-free, and phthalate-free materials and includes three arches designed to accommodate different fits. Its adjustable design also allows users to fine-tune the positioning of their jaw rather than committing to a single setting, which makes it easier to find a comfortable fit.

Of course, not all snoring is created equal, and an anti-snoring mouthguard isn’t a universal fix—especially for those with underlying conditions like obstructive sleep apnea. But for those dealing with uncomplicated snoring, a customizable oral mouthpiece may be the ticket to a better night’s sleep. Plus, you can currently score 25 percent off the Hushd Avera for a limited time. Use the code SNORE25 at checkout to redeem.

The Alexander brothers, the sons of a luxury real estate mogul, have been sentenced to 30 years in prison for charges that include sex trafficking and aggravated sexual abuse. Twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 39, and Tal Alexander, 40, were convicted in March for using their family business to drug and rape dozens of women and faced a maximum sentence of life behind bars. Ultimately, a New York judge on Tuesday sentenced the trio to 30 years, followed by a decade of supervised release. The attacks took place in Miami, New York, the Hamptons and Aspen, Colorado, among other high-end vacation spots. Multiple women testified during a five-week trial about how the brothers assaulted them. One woman told the court she was raped by Tal in August 2014, saying, “I carry a quiet funeral in me for the person I might have become had this not happened to me.” Oren and Tal worked at the real estate firm Douglas Elliman before creating their own brokerage, Official, which served wealthy and celebrity clientele, including Ivanka Trump. Alon continued in the family business. A bombshell Real Deal article published in June 2024 first exposed the brothers, and criminal charges followed that same year.

Savannah Chrisley’s secret fiancé is convicted fraudster Jason Galanis, who, like her parents, has been pardoned by President Donald Trump. The 29-year-old “Chrisley Knows Best” star revealed on her podcast that she met Galanis, 56, while lobbying for pardons for her parents, Todd and Julie Christley, after their 2022 convictions. Chrisley previously referred to her mystery man as just “J” or “Jason.” Galanis was sentenced to more than 14 years in prison in 2020, after he was busted cheating a Native American tribe and investors out of tens of millions. A former business partner of Hunter Biden’s, he testified in the Republican impeachment inquiry into former President Joe Biden in 2024—a year before Trump pardoned him. Chrisley has also revealed on Instagram that she is expecting her first baby with Galanis. “I wondered if I would ever find my forever... if I would ever feel safe enough to truly breathe again. And then God sent me J,” she wrote.

Apple’s first-ever foldable phone is drawing complaints just four days after hitting shelves. The iPhone Duo went on sale Friday with a starting price of $2,000—the most Apple has ever charged for a phone. It quickly sold out in stores and on the company’s website, with official backorders stretching into January 2027. Hours later, customers began to share images of damaged screens, white bars of light, and faulty hinges on social media. “Didn’t even make it through setup,” one wrote in a Reddit post. Several users told The Wall Street Journal they heard audible “cracks” or “pops” when opening their brand-new devices, and one described his phone’s display as looking “wavy.” An Apple spokesperson told the Journal that the company is aware of an issue affecting the display on “a small number” of phones and will replace broken devices.

The late serial killer Ted Bundy has been found responsible for another victim from a 1974 murderous rampage in Utah, authorities announced Tuesday. In addition to the Halloween murder of Laura Ann Aime, solved in April, new DNA testing has connected the killer to the death of 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith, a more than 50-year-old cold case. “This case demonstrates the importance of preserving evidence,” Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera said. Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson said at a news conference that besides the DNA evidence, Smith’s death had the hallmarks of Bundy’s “pattern, motive, means and opportunity.” A hunter found Smith’s body in Summit Park on Oct. 27, 1974, nine days after she was reported missing and about four days before Aime. Officials say they’ve been in touch with Smith’s next of kin, none of whom still live in the area. Bundy was executed by electric chair in Florida in 1989 for the murders of two women at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University. Advances in DNA testing are growing the number of confirmed victims. Bundy killed at least 30 women and girls in multiple states in the 1970s, but investigators and criminologists believe this count could be as high as 100 or more victims. He gave a number of confessions in his final days about some crimes unknown to police, many of which have yet to be DNA-verified.

A Walmart shopper is suing the retail and grocery giant, alleging it used less shrimp than advertised. Elijah Bapitsit said Walmart’s frozen shrimp packages have up to 11 percent less shrimp than advertised once ice is removed. The Illinois resident has bought the same bag of shrimp regularly for about three years and, according to the lawsuit, was disappointed when he opened a new one for a party. The suit explains that if Baptist bought 6 pounds for a party of 10, he would have lost about 15 shrimp, or $5. The seafood lover said he wouldn’t have bought the bags if he’d known the actual amount. A Walmart spokesperson said the company has “policies in place” to ensure suppliers correctly label their products, but did not mention a $45 million settlement to customers over another food-weight lawsuit that compensated people who purchased weighted goods or bagged citrus between October 2018 and January 2024. “We are reviewing the complaint and will respond in court,” the spokesperson concluded. “Glazing,” a common practice in which producers coat products with water to protect raw shellfish, may be the culprit, adding weight and ultimately inflating seafood prices. But it shouldn’t count toward the net product amount, and manufacturers can be criminally liable for failing to do so.

A judge has found Russell Brand categorically not guilty of one count of indecent assault, but the left-wing comic turned born-again Christian MAGA voice’s legal battle isn’t over. The judge told jurors the charge should be “attempted indecent assault” for the 2001 incident in which a woman alleges he tried to pull her into a men’s bathroom at MTV Europe’s London office, where she worked. “I have reached the decision that there is insufficient evidence of indecent assault,” Judge Joel Bennathan said. “That is my decision, not yours. You will be directed to return a not guilty verdict in count two.” The defense has not begun to plead its case, and the jury has not deliberated yet, so the judge has simply decided that one charge was incorrect and ordered it reclassified. The jury will ultimately consider the attempted indecent assault count and the six other charges, including three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Brand has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including the newly revised attempted indecent assault. Six women have testified against Brand, detailing alleged incidents of rape and other sexual misconduct.
