The son of Norway’s Queen Mette-Marit was allegedly attacked by an intruder at the royal estate where he is staying under house arrest. An unidentified man showed up at the property on Friday shortly after midnight and started banging and kicking at the door. Marius Borg Høiby, 29, opened the door and the man pushed inside, before Høiby pushed him back out and contacted police. “We can confirm that we arrested a person near Høiby’s home on Friday night,” Eirik Veum of the Norwegian Police Security Service told the Norwegian outlet NRK. “Beyond that, we have no comment.” The Norwegian queen’s son does not hold a royal title and has been on house arrest ever since he appealed a July conviction on two counts of rape and a four-year prison sentence. Høiby’s home is outside the area covered by the Norwegian royal family’s security detail, according to NRK. Høiby’s defense attorney Alexander Greaker said your own home “is a place where you should feel safe, and in the situation Marius is in right now, it is easy to understand that he has experienced this as very unpleasant and unsafe.”

Two passenger jets narrowly avoided a midair collision moments after taking off from Los Angeles International Airport. The near-miss occurred around 12:20 a.m., when an Air France Airbus A350 bound for Papeete veered into the path of an American Airlines Airbus A321 departing from a parallel runway for Dallas, the Federal Aviation administration told People magazine. Air traffic controllers quickly ordered the Air France crew to change course after spotting the danger, warning that the other jet was less than a mile away. Radio recordings captured a tense exchange as controllers questioned why the Air France pilots had made an unauthorized turn instead of following their assigned departure route. The aircraft were approximately one nautical mile apart, according to FlightRadar24 data. Together, the two jets were reportedly carrying around 500 passengers. Following the incident, controllers flagged a possible pilot deviation and asked the Air France crew to contact authorities. Both aircraft avoided a collision, and the Air France flight continued safely to its destination, landing at 5:59 a.m., an airline spokesperson confirmed to KTLA.

The guitarist from the iconic rock band Television has died at age 75, after being diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of bile-duct cancer, in March. Richard Lloyd’s family announced he died Saturday at his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In the ‘70s, Lloyd co-founded Television, the band that pioneered the New York punk rock scene. He was known for being half of the iconic dual-guitar attack alongside lead singer Tom Verlaine. In August, Lloyd’s bandmate Sean Seymour launched a GoFundMe to help cover the guitarist’s medical and living costs. According to Seymour, Lloyd had tumors in his liver and one near a major blood vessel that made surgery impossible. He had been admitted to the ICU seven times for tumor-related complications. “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the various donations, sharing the gofundme link, and the wonderful well wishes,“ Lloyd said on the page in October. As of Tuesday, donations are continuing to roll in, with almost $138,000 raised toward the $150,000 goal. Lloyd is survived by his wife, Sheila O’Keefe Lloyd; son, Dylan; and brother, Eric Lloyd.

Media businessman and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, 84, has married his partner of 26 years, Diana Taylor, 71. This marks both of their second marriages. They held a small private ceremony on Monday at their Upper East Side home, surrounded by family, including Bloomberg’s two adult daughters, Emma and Georgina, from his marriage to ex-wife Susan Brown, whom he was married to from 1975 to 1993. Bloomberg, who has a net worth of around $100 billion, and Taylor first met when they were seated next to each other at a city commission meeting while he was running for mayor. Bloomberg served three terms as mayor before a failed presidential run in 2020. The lifelong Democrat switched to the Republican Party to run for mayor in 2001, registered as an independent while serving as mayor in 2007, then returned to the Democratic Party in 2018. He was a vocal critic of Donald Trump throughout the president’s two tumultuous terms so far, and gave $80 million to Democrats ahead of this year’s midterms. Taylor had to defend his demeaning comments about women during a Texas rally for his 2020 campaign. “It was 30 years ago. Get over it,” Taylor told CBS News at the time. “We have come a very long way, and Michael Bloomberg has been at the forefront of that change.”

T. Cullen Davis, a Texas oil tycoon acquitted of murdering his stepdaughter at his secluded Fort Worth mansion, died Friday at his home. He was 93. In 1976, a gunman wearing a woman’s wig fatally shot Andrea Wilborn, Cullen Davis’ 12-year-old stepdaughter, and Stan Farr, Cullen Davis’ estranged wife’s 20-year-old boyfriend. Cullen Davis was accused of murder. His first trial ended in a mistrial because of juror misconduct. The second ended in an acquittal. At the time, Cullen Davis was said to be the wealthiest man to have stood trial for murder, according to the Associated Press. He was arrested again nine months later for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill his estranged wife, Priscilla Davis, and the judge overseeing their divorce proceedings. Cullen Davis was acquitted again. The story was featured on several prominent true-crime shows, including American Justice, 48 Hours, and Texas Justice. Cullen Davis’ stepson Trey Davis, who announced his death on Monday, told the Associated Press that his stepfather was someone who “stood with his arms wide open, willing to lovingly accept you regardless of where you stood in life.”

Jamie Foxx’s Halloween party at his Thousand Oaks, California, home resulted in at least one arrest amid reports of a stabbing. A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told the Daily Mail that deputies responded to a call at the Oscar winner’s home and arrested a “juvenile.” TMZ reported that a male had been stabbed in the neck during the party, suffering a superficial wound that paramedics treated at the scene. Images from the scene appeared to show two partygoers fighting on the property, while police were seen leading a man away. Video also appeared to show several people being handcuffed as authorities ordered hundreds of guests to leave. It was not immediately clear whether Foxx was home during the party. Foxx shared a series of posts to his Instagram Stories on Sunday that appeared to document highlights from the party. Representatives for Foxx and the sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail for further comment.

Archaeologists restoring Kabul’s Bala Hissar fortress have discovered more than two millennia of Afghan history, including the remains of a Buddhist monastery and the luxurious baths of a Mughal palace, according to the Associated Press. “We never thought we would find so much,” archeologist Babak Rafiei-Alavi said. “It’s like a submarine coming out of the ocean.” In 2018, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture began work on the site, with plans to turn it into a public archeological park complete with a museum. The excavation has been rich, yielding ancient coins and fragments of Buddhist statues. The fortress took its heaviest blow when British troops destroyed much of it to avenge the 1879 killing of British envoy Sir Louis Cavagnari and his entourage inside its walls, the Associated Press reported. It also bears the scars of fresher wars; rusting Soviet tanks, left over from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, still sit inside its walls, situated near rows of weapons abandoned after the U.S. withdrawal in 2021. In 2001, the Taliban blew up two giant sixth-century Buddha statues in Bamiyan. But its current government says that it now wants to conserve the sites.

Billionaire Kim Kardashian has been forced to issue refunds after backlash over a $148 advent calendar. The product, offered by her company Skims, contained a random selection of items, including hair ties, key rings, bobby pins and even bra straps, which had been compared to objects found at the bottom of a purse or down the back of a sofa. “I’m hoping this is a prank and the last one is a $150 gift card for all my money back,” influencer Kayla Ryan said as she unboxed the calendar. After the online discourse, a Skims spokesperson told Today that Kardashian’s company is “aware of the feedback” on the expensive calendar and is now offering refunds. The company added that “for some, the calendar didn’t meet expectations.” Every person who purchased the $148 calendar has been offered a full refund or a Skims credit. TikToker Sean Anthony posted online that his refund or credit offer arrived before the advent calendar he ordered from Skims did. He shared a copy of the email from Skims, adding, “What’s going on? Is it really that bad that they had to do an apology tour?”

Del Casher, the legendary guitarist who invented the wah-wah pedal, has died at 88. Casher, who also composed for film and TV, died on Oct. 1, according to the Daily Mail. No details about the cause or location of his death have been released. Casher accidentally invented the wah-wah pedal in 1966 while consulting for Thomas Organ, the U.S. partner of British amp maker Vox. The foot-controlled pedal transformed the guitar’s sound by sweeping a filter across different frequencies while the player’s foot moved it up and down. Paramount Pictures hired him in 1964 to appear in a film with Elvis Presley called Roustabout. Presley was immediately enamored with Casher and personally invited him to play future gigs. But Casher turned him down. He later worked with Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention and Frank Sinatra. In 1985, his guitar music featured in the NBC Nightly News theme: John Williams’ “The Mission.” The song is the longest-running TV news theme in history, according to the Mail. Since his death, A GoFundMe has been set up to help his widow, Eiko, move into assisted living and pay down credit card debt.

Ridley Scott, the legendary filmmaker behind movies like 1982’s Blade Runner and 2015’s The Martian, has been tapped to receive an honorary Oscar at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 17th annual Governors Awards on Sunday night. But the director, whose career spans six decades, won’t be able to attend in person. The London-based English auteur, who turns 89 on Nov. 30, underwent a minor medical procedure last week, and has been advised by doctors not to fly while he recovers. His wife, children, and grandchildren will fly to Los Angeles to accept the award on his behalf, and the ceremony will screen a prerecorded video of his acceptance speech. Scott made his feature directorial debut at 40 with 1977’s The Duellists and went on to make a string of acclaimed films, including 1979’s Alien, 1991’s Thelma & Louise, and 2000’s Gladiator. His films have earned him four Oscar nominations and grossed more than $5 billion worldwide.
