Three people died and two others were injured after a tour helicopter plunged into the ocean some 100 yards off Kalalau Beach on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The aircraft, operated by Airborne Aviation, was carrying a pilot and four passengers when it crashed, the Kauai Fire Department said. The helicopter tour agency offers 50-to-55-minute, “doors-off” tours of the region. All five were pulled from the water, and the two survivors were taken to Wilcox Medical Center for treatment, police said. Authorities were alerted at about 3.45 p.m. local time that the aircraft had crashed into the ocean, and multiple agencies, including the Kauai Fire Department, U.S. Coast Guard, Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, and American Medical Response, scrambled to the scene. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources has urged people to steer clear of the area due to aircraft wreckage and potential helicopter fuel and oil. “Containment and recovery efforts are underway,” the department said.

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, 29, is suing his parents, alleging they defrauded him of millions while managing his financial affairs. In the lawsuit, the baseball star claimed his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, used multiple limited liability companies (LLC) to funnel money from his personal bank accounts and spend it on themselves. The lawsuit was filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday and seeks at least $3 million in damages, as well as a full accounting of the missing funds. In January, the lawsuit says Bohm asked his parents for access to his financial information, including account statements. The lawsuit says his parents opted to “engage counsel” after the request, and that counsel then provided minimal information. It also claims his parents sought to “freeze” him out of his accounts and that they had “converted a sizeable amount” of his money for “their own use.” Though their attorney, Bohm’s parents denied any wrongdoing, saying they have always acted in his best interests “both personally and professionally” and still do so. “They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here,” the statement said. Bohm says his parents set up two LLCs in 2019, the year after he signed with the Phillies. He has a $10.2 million contract with the Phillies this year. Bohm claims his parents told him they needed to take a 10 percent interest in the LLCs in order to act as authorized representatives of his interests. They set up two more LLCs in 2024 after their son planned to purchase real estate. The lawsuit states that his parents live in an RV and travel the country. After Thursday’s game, Bohm told reporters, “I’m not going to address any personal matters right now.”

There are cleaning devices, and there is the Narwal Freo Z Ultra—a sovereign cleaning machine engineered not to impress you, but to liberate you from ever having to think about sweeping and mopping ever again. This seriously effective robot vacuum cleaner doesn’t just deliver surface shine like its other peers on the market—it offers quiet precision, elegant automation, and a professional deep clean with the touch of a button.

The best part? The Freo Z Ultra doesn’t beep for attention incessantly, beg for updates, or require constant supervision to get the job done. With previous robot vacuums I’ve owned, I had to follow the device around to make sure it was working, and it still left behind crumbs, pet dander, and dust. The Freo Ultra gives your floors a major clean and then disappears, leaving behind silence, order, and floors that you could serve dinner on without a plate (OK, almost).

Senate Republicans defied President Donald Trump to reach a deal with Democrats to partially fund the Department of Homeland Security. The president had demanded that any funding agreement tied to the passage of the SAVE America Act, which would introduce sweeping new voting restrictions threatening to disenfranchise millions of voters. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune said that strategy was “not realistic” and reached a deal with Democrats to to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, except for ICE and Border Patrol. The agreement represented an about-face for Republicans, who for weeks had rejected similar offers from Democrats. But with travelers in major airports facing hours-long waits as Transportation Security Administration agents quit or called in sick, Republican senators abruptly reversed course. ICE had already received several years’ worth of funding under President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful” spending law, but Republicans wanted to add billions more in regular funding. They still plan to try to add that money through another budget process. Democrats have said any new funding must be tied to immigration enforcement reforms, including requiring ICE agents to follow the same standards as other law enforcement agents, such as displaying their names and obtaining judicial warrants to enter homes, as required by the Constitution.

A near miss between a military helicopter and a passenger plane, with spooky echoes of a 2025 disaster, is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration. On Tuesday evening, an Army National Guard helicopter crossed in front of United Airlines Flight 589 from San Francisco, landing at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. The California National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk triggered a warning in the Boeing 737’s cockpit. Audio from a frustrated air traffic controller revealed just how close the call was. “We’re gonna be addressing that, because that was not good,” they were heard saying, according to LiveATC.net. The two aircraft were 525 feet apart vertically at their closest point, and 1,422 feet laterally. The close scrape invokes memories of a crash between an Army Black Hawk helicopter on a training mission and an American Airlines passenger jet at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January last year. Sixty-seven people were killed in that incident, one of the worst aviation disasters the country has witnessed for 20 years. “A thorough review will be conducted in coordination with the appropriate agencies,” the FAA said in a statement regarding the more recent incident.

Touted for a laundry list of potential wellness benefits, including improved circulation, boosting lymphatic drainage, and even reduced back pain, it’s no surprise that vibration therapy is trending in the wellness space right now. The fundamental idea behind vibration therapy is that the vibrations cause muscle contraction just like they would if you were, say, lifting a pair of dumbbells, doing bicep curls, and the claim is that these contractions help build muscle, burn fat, and promote increased lymphatic drainage just by standing on the device and feeling the vibes.

As someone who is obsessed with taking care of my lymphatic system (and looking for lazy-ish ways to boost circulation and burn calories), I purchased Lifepro’s bestselling Waver Vibration Plate Exerciser on a whim before my wedding a few years ago, and while I figured it would be a gimmick, it’s one of the best wellness investments I’ve ever made. If you’re after a user-friendly yet super-powerful vibration plate that doesn’t break the bank, Lifepro’s Waver Vibration Plate Exercise Machine is the gold standard. I have had mine for almost four years, and I absolutely love it. Best of all? It’s backed by a lifetime warranty, which more than justifies the price tag, and select vibration plate models (including the OG Waver, the advanced Rumblex 4D Vibration Plate, and the Rhythm Vibration Plate Exercise Machine with Handles) are currently up to 20 percent off during Lifepro and Amazon’s Big Spring sales.

As someone who sits for at least ten hours a day, I’m always looking for low-lift ways to counteract the side effects of my very sedentary lifestyle, and this vibration device has been a major game-changer for me. I will hop on it for just ten or fifteen minutes when I feel like I’ve been sitting for too long, and it instantly reduces stiffness and muscle tension. I also depend on it for depuffing when I’m feeling bloated or swollen, and it works like a charm.

Plus, while the research is still divided, some experts say it may help with fat loss by reducing water weight, especially when used to complement your strength training workout. I like to stand on my vibration machine while doing arm, ab, and leg exercises for an added boost. If you’re looking to upgrade your lymphatic support lineup, I really can’t recommend Lifepro’s vibration therapy lineup more.

A Florida CEO has been killed and his teenage son injured in a hit-and-run boat crash after a larger vessel struck their dinghy south of Miami on Wednesday evening. Davide Veglia, 55, founder and president of ABTS Convention Services, was killed after an estimated 30-foot multi-motor vessel plowed into his 7-foot dinghy in Biscayne Bay at about 8:11 p.m., throwing him and his son into the water, the New York Post reported. His 14-year-old son was hospitalized with a broken arm. “The vessel involved has not yet been identified and is described as possibly a 20 to 30 foot boat with possibly two outboard motors and is described as possibly a dark blue boat with black bottom paint,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Officer George Reynaud said Thursday. Two teens nearby reported hearing cries for help. Enzo Avelino told WSVN: “I yelled for him to float before the cops came, and he floated. He was, like, floating there with his dad, holding him.” Veglia and his son were pulled from the water and taken to a hospital, where the 55-year-old was pronounced dead. Police said no arrests had been made.

Legendary Formula One racer Max Verstappen blew up at a reporter during a scheduled media session and told him to “get out” during the Japanese Grand Prix on Thursday. The Dutch-Belgian racer singled out journalist Giles Richards of The Guardian, who had asked him a question last year that he did not appreciate. “I’m not speaking before he’s leaving,” the Red Bull racer said of Richards, shortly before the Q&A was to begin. The reporter approached Verstappen’s table to plead his case, but was told to “get out.” The question Verstappen objected to was asked by Richards in December after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Guardian journalist asked whether the four-time world champion regretted an incident earlier in the year in which he collided with another racer at the Spanish Grand Prix, resulting in a time penalty that cost him precious points. “You forget all the other stuff that happened in my season,” Verstappen answered at the time. “The only thing you mention is Barcelona. I knew that would come.” Richards wrote in a column on Thursday that he was “deeply disappointed” by Verstappen’s behavior and questioned whether the racer “was simply enjoying the power dynamic.”

Actor Taylor Lautner, best known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight film series, has announced that he is expecting his first child with his wife, Tay Lautner. The couple made the exciting announcement in a Thursday Instagram post featuring a series of photos taken in a field, with Tay, 29, in a white skirt and tank top, holding ultrasound images, as Taylor, 34, kisses her stomach. In the caption, the couple wrote, “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?” The Lautners tied the knot in 2022 in California’s wine country after going public with their relationship in 2018. They were introduced by Taylor’s sister while he was on a hiatus from acting, with the star explaining to People in 2022, “I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends. And I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out.” Taylor’s Twilight co-star Nikki Reed, who played vampire Rosalie Hale in the series, commented on the announcement, celebrating the news and writing, “Oh my goodness🥹❤️ heart bursting. I love you guys. I can’t wait to watch your journey as parents unfold…”

An arrest has been made in a cold case known as the “Lovers’ Lane Murders,” a grisly double homicide that remained unsolved for nearly 36 years. Floyd William Parrott, 64, was arrested in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Wednesday by officers with the Houston Police Department and the FBI, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Parrott was charged with capital murder in connection with the killings of Andy Atkinson, 21, and Cheryl Henry, 22, who were found inside a car parked in a cul-de-sac with injuries to their necks on Aug. 23, 1990, police said. Parrott, who was identified as a suspect this month, is awaiting extradition to Harris County after his Wednesday arrest, police said. “One of Houston’s most haunting and infamous cold cases has weighed on the Henry and Atkinson families, as well as our community for more than three decades,” Sean Teare, the Harris County District Attorney, said in a statement. “Our prosecutors, working with the HPD and FBI, have pursued this investigation with relentless and dogged determination. They have worked hundreds of leads, facing dead ends and plenty of frustration. But, they never gave up on Cheryl and Andy.”

As a child of the late ’90s and early ’00s, I made the infinitely regrettable decision to pluck my eyebrows into a thin, sperm-like shape in junior high. My mom warned me they wouldn’t grow back if I ignored her advice. Naturally, I didn’t listen.

Over a decade later, my brows were still paying the price for my preteen attempts to channel my inner grunge supermodel. So when I came across a video of Brooke Shields swearing by Grande Cosmetics’ Grandebrow Serum, I figured it was worth a shot. In just four weeks, my sparse brows looked noticeably fuller, healthier, and far closer to their pre-plucked state.

Like Shields, I use the brow serum morning and night (even though the brand recommends applying it just once daily), and I haven’t experienced any irritation.

If you’re trying to recover from overplucking or just want fuller, healthier brows and lashes, Grande Cosmetics’ Grandebrow Serum lives up to the hype. Even better, they’re currently 40 percent off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale—so there’s never been a better time to stock up.

Netflix announced on Thursday that it would raise its prices for the second time in just over a year. Under the new pricing, the Standard with Ads plan will cost $8.99/month, increasing by $1, while the Standard plan will increase by $2 to $19.99/month. Premium plans are also increasing by $2 to $26.99/month. As Variety explains, the increase demonstrates that Netflix feels it has “pricing power” over its competitors, having calculated that it can weather the cost of losing some subscribers in response to higher fees in exchange for the increased revenue it will receive from new and returning subscribers. Netflix is the largest streaming service in the world; it had over 325 million customers at the end of 2025. “Our approach remains the same: We continue offering a range of prices and plans to meet a variety of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members we are updating our prices to enable us to reinvest in quality entertainment and improve their experience by updating our prices,” Netflix said in a statement to Variety.

Authorities in Italy have recovered $20 million of property and financial assets believed to have been stolen from Ursula Andress, the 90-year-old former Bond girl. Andress, who played the love interest in the original 1962 James Bond film Dr. No, said the money was taken from her by a deceitful financial advisor over eight years. That advisor has apparently died since. Earlier this year, the Bond girl told a Swiss newspaper she was still in shock from the theft. “I was deliberately chosen as a victim. For eight years, I was courted and wooed. They lied to me shamelessly and exploited my goodwill in a perfidious, indeed criminal, way in order to take everything from me. They took advantage of my age.” The money was put to use, buying 11 properties as well as 14 parcels of Italian farmland for growing wine grapes and olives. On Thursday, Italian police announced a connection between the purchases and Andress’ money. Some of the cash was concealed through shady transactions. No arrests have yet been announced. Beyond Andress’ appearance in Dr. No, she acted alongside some of America’s biggest stars, including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
