Furious Liza Minnelli fans are demanding refunds after signed copies of her book allegedly included an autopen signature. Collectors have claimed the 80-year-old’s signature is too uniform in copies of her new memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!, which was released in March. They say books were marketed as “hand-signed collectibles” for as much as $250, but they can’t have been written directly by the Cabaret star, after having used tracing paper to find that the signatures were strikingly similar. “When you see footage of Liza today in her own documentary, she is far too frail to have signed a handful of books this accurately, let alone hundreds,” U.K.-based signed autograph collector Gareth Brown told The Guardian after paying the equivalent of $33 for his copy. “It has sadly been common for many celebrities to sell ‘signed’ merchandise featuring fake signatures,” Justin Steffman, who is CEO of authentication firm AutographCOA, told the newspaper. “So uncovering that Liza Minnelli’s memoir features what looks like autopen-signed autographs was no surprise.” The singing, dancing, acting, Oscar-winning star is the daughter of the late star Judy Garland. The Daily Beast has reached out to her representatives for comment.

Golf legend Jim Colbert died on Sunday of an undisclosed cause. He was 85. Colbert was famous for wearing a bucket hat in all his competitions, making it his trademark as he secured eight PGA Tour wins and 20 victories on the PGA Tour Champions. “Lee Trevino has his sombrero, Jack Nicklaus has the bear. I have my hat,” Colbert once said about his favorite accessory. The New Jersey native was a natural at golf, beginning during his college years after an initial stint as a football player. He finished as runner-up in the NCAA Championship in 1964. Five years later, Colbert won his first PGA Tour title at the 1969 Monsanto Open. He went on to tie for fourth in the Masters and finish fifth in the U.S. Open in 1974. In 1983, he won twice on the PGA Tour and finished 15th on the money list. Colbert won the Transamerica in 1996, just two years after having his prostate removed following a cancer diagnosis. The bucket hat enthusiast was also highly successful in business, starting a company in 1980 that owned 23 golf courses and employed 700 people, earning him an annual gross revenue of $50 million.

A good pair of work boots is invaluable. However, most feel like they were designed by people who’ve never spent eight hours on a job site. Red Wing Shoes is aiming to change that with its new IronFlex boot line, built from the ground up based on the data of three million workers.

The new line wasn’t designed by a committee. Red Wing took a more proactive approach. First, it leveraged state-of-the-art scanning technology to study exactly how workers walked and where pressure points built up.

6-Inch Waterproof BOA® Safety Toe Boot

All styles are ASTM-rated and available with slip resistance and electrical hazard protection.

Next, Red Wing spoke to the workers themselves, asking how they prefer their boots to fit and feel. The result was a premium work boot with every feature informed by the people who wear them the most.

In fact, the worker-first philosophy shows up in every detail of the boots. The slip-resistant outsole keeps your feet sure-footed on ladders. A high-rebound EVA midsole delivers all-day comfort. The boot’s welted heel provides extra stability on uneven terrain. The roomy cemented forefoot is constructed to bend and flex with you. On rainy days, the IronFlex’s three layers of a moisture-deterrent lining, cushioning foam, and waterproof barrier keep feet dry.

Eric Clapton’s long-awaited return to Madrid ended with a projectile flying at his chest and the rock legend walking straight offstage. The 81-year-old guitarist had just finished performing “Cocaine” at the Movistar Arena when an audience member threw what appeared to be a vinyl record or sleeve toward the stage, according to clips circulating online. The video showed the object striking Clapton as he turned to leave near the end of the concert. The singer then exited without performing his planned encore, including his regular tour closer, Bo Diddley’s “Before You Accuse Me.” Clapton had not performed in Madrid in 25 years, making the abruptly shortened concert an especially awkward finale for fans who waited decades for the return. He was reportedly unharmed after the incident and resumed his tour three nights later with a performance in Barcelona. The “Layla” guitarist is still scheduled to headline a summer concert at the Sandringham Estate as part of the HeritageLive festival series.

Paratroopers staged a dramatic airdrop into one of the most remote inhabited spots on the planet this week to assist a patient critically ill with hantavirus, newly released footage shows. Six British paratroopers, joined by a nurse and a medical consultant, leapt from an army jet roughly three miles offshore, battling fierce gusts before touching down on a rock-strewn golf course in Tristan da Cunha, a small volcanic island in the South Atlantic. The 221-person British territory has no runway, and a single hospital serves all residents. The patient is among several sickened in an outbreak linked to Dutch cruise vessel MV Hondius, which has recorded three deaths, two confirmed as hantavirus cases. The outbreak involves the Andes virus strain, which can occasionally spread between humans through close contact. Authorities in Europe, the U.S., and South America are tracing contacts and enforcing quarantines. They stress the overall public risk remains low because the disease does not spread easily like influenza or the COVID-19 virus.

Keeping your home clean is one of those tasks that’s easy to overlook—until your space is suddenly coated with pet hair, crumbs, and a herd of dust bunnies. While most vacuums can handle one type of mess well, they’re rarely able to balance both large debris and fine dust, forcing you to go over the same spots multiple times with different tools. If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution that makes it easier to keep your space spotless, the Bissell PowerClean DualBrush has you (and your entire home) covered.

The PowerClean DualBrush is a powerful cordless stick vacuum designed to clean both large and small messes. The secret to its performance is Bissell’s DualBrush Technology, which uses two brush rolls simultaneously to deliver a deeper clean.

One roll hugs the floor to capture bigger debris, while the other agitates to loosen and lift what’s stuck. Together, they ensure that no mess, big or small, is left behind.

The powerful vacuum is also equipped with built-in lights, allowing you to spot hidden dust in hard-to-reach spaces. “One of the features I absolutely love is the headlamp; it really highlights hidden debris, revealing just how much more there is to clean even when you think your floors are spotless,” one five-star Amazon reviewer says. Reviewers also note that, despite being lightweight, it stands up on its own. “The vacuum itself stands up on its own (finally, no more random face‑plants every time I set it down),” another shopper said.

This all-in-one vacuum is especially useful for pet owners, featuring tools that help target stubborn pet hair on sofas, chairs, and other fabric surfaces, as well as headlights to reveal hidden fur and other fine debris in even the smallest nooks and crannies. “I have a large Rottweiler who sheds nonstop. I finally feel like I found a vacuum that helps with pet hair pickup and gets all the hair intertwined in my carpet,” one shopper says. “I have tried so many other vacuum brands with no luck.”

Plus, it easily converts from a stick to a handheld or high-reach vacuum, helping you tackle messes no matter where they are. Best of all? You can score $100 off for a limited time.

A woman has died after falling ill while traveling on a plane flying from Chicago to Mexico. Volaris Flight 7771, which was heading from Chicago Midway International Airport to General Francisco Mujica International Airport in Michoacán on Saturday, had to make an emergency landing at Monterrey International Airport so the woman could receive care. Other passengers alerted the crew and the pilot to the 79-year-old woman’s condition, prompting the unscheduled stop soon after the plane had entered Mexican airspace. Medical personnel pronounced the passenger dead shortly after the plane landed in Monterrey. The woman, identified as María Yolando Guerrero Medina, was traveling with her husband at the time. She had been living with kidney failure and diabetes for about 12 years, reported People. The plane was then replaced with another aircraft so they could complete their journey. Another flight also had to make an emergency landing at Monterrey on Sunday. The United Airlines plane heading to Houston from Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, was forced to land at a Mexican airport after a mechanical issue soon after takeoff.

The U.S. Coast Guard has seized a sailboat belonging to an American man after his wife went missing last month in waters off the Bahamas, an official confirmed on Monday. The vessel, called Soulmate, is being held as investigators continue their probe into the disappearance of Lynette Hooker. Her husband, Brian Hooker, has claimed that strong winds caused her to “basically just bounce off the dinghy” while they were traveling from Hope Town to Elbow Cay. He further claims that neither of them was wearing a life vest and that she had the boat’s keys in her pocket. This apparently forced him to paddle for shore, where he informed authorities of the incident. Bahamian police arrested Brian Hooker in connection with Lynette’s disappearance on April 8, the same day Coast Guard officials announced their criminal investigation. He has since been released without charge and has returned to the U.S., where he says he is now caring for his sick mother. His wife has not been found. “I’ve never harmed Lynette,” he told NBC last month. “I would never harm Lynette, and I want to find Lynette.”

A Frontier Airlines flight had to be evacuated after a gun magazine was found aboard the aircraft. The airline confirmed the incident on Frontier flight 4765, as it prepared to depart Denver for Phoenix on Sunday. It said that all passengers were told to exit the Airbus A321 and made to go through security scans again while the jet itself was checked over. “Given the delay, the flight crew exceeded their duty time and thus customers were booked on a new flight which departed early this morning,” the airline said in its statement. “Our preliminary investigation indicates that the magazine belongs to a law enforcement officer.” Speaking to WBRC—which reported that the gun magazine in question had been loaded—passenger Rashon Hammonds said customers were never told why they had to leave the aircraft. “Once we got through TSA, that was it,” he added. “There was no more instruction after, so everybody’s just standing outside of TSA, like, do we go back to the terminal? You know, do we get on the flight? And then that’s when we got an email from Frontier saying that our plane was completely canceled and that we would get back on at six o’clock this morning.” Hammonds said the airline turned down refund requests.

Shocking footage has emerged of a gunman indiscriminately firing into traffic using an assault-style rifle. Two people have been critically injured after the suspect, identified as 46-year-old Tyler Brown, opened fire along Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Monday afternoon. The gunman was apprehended after a state trooper and a former Marine in legal possession of a gun returned fire. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said that around 50-60 rounds were fired during the shootout before Brown was injured. Two men in separate vehicles are being treated for life-threatening injuries after being shot. Several vehicles, including the trooper’s cruiser and a U.S. Postal Service truck, were also hit by gunfire during the chaos. Brown allegedly started the rampage soon after a police officer tried to conduct a wellness check at his home following a parole officer’s report that he had made a suicidal statement. Ryan said many more people could have been hurt during the shooting spree. “We know that that weapon had the capacity to have struck people on the other side of that river,” he said. Brown is in custody in the hospital and is expected to be charged with two counts of armed assault with intent to murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Mount Everest claimed its third life in two weeks after a young Sherpa guide tumbled into an icy chasm on the world’s tallest peak. Phura Gyaljen Sherpa, 21, lost his footing in the snow and plummeted into an ice fracture near Camp III, at 23,620 feet, Nisha Thapa Rawat, an official with Nepal’s tourism department, told Reuters on Tuesday. His death means five people have died across Nepal’s Himalayan range since the beginning of April—yet officials say business is booming, with $15,000-a-pop Everest permits hitting 492 this spring, easily topping 2023’s total of 478. Earlier this month, Bijay Ghimire Bishwakarma, 35, was killed acclimatizing in the treacherous Khumbu icefall, while veteran climber Lakpa Dendi Sherpa, 52, died en route to base camp. The wider Himalayan toll has spread beyond Everest, too. American Johannesen Shelley, 53, perished last week on Makalu—at 27,765 feet, the planet’s fifth-highest summit—and Czech mountaineer David Ronbinek was killed on its smaller sister, Makalu II. It comes after a giant ice slab last month blocked the route to Everest’s 29,032-foot summit for almost two weeks, marooning hundreds of climbers at the mountain’s base.

A Spanish police officer died while assisting with security preparations for the arrival of the MV Hondius, the cruise ship that experienced an outbreak of hantavirus. The 62-year-old, who has not been identified, collapsed and died of a heart attack on Sunday while helping with the disembarkation of passengers from the ship during its arrival in Tenerife. Spanish health minister Mónica García said at a press conference, “I would like to express our condolences to the family, to all the Guardia Civil.” The MV Hondius was placed under emergency protocols following an outbreak of the Andes strain of hantavirus. There have been seven confirmed cases and three deaths so far, two of which have been confirmed to be the result of the virus. While the World Health Organization has urged caution, it has also stressed that the outbreak is localized and not a pandemic, while the CDC has classified it as a level 3 response. Passengers who disembarked from the ship on Sunday have been hospitalized in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, South Africa, Spain and Saint Helena.
