SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (AP) – Justin Timberlake is expected to plead guilty Friday following his June arrest in the Hamptons for drunken driving.

The boy band singer-turned-solo star and actor will appear in Sag Harbor Village Court on Friday to formally enter a new plea, prosecutors said.

Details of the agreement with prosecutors weren´t disclosed, but a person with knowledge of the deal said Timberlake has agreed to admit guilt to a lesser offense of ” driving while ability impaired,” a traffic violation that carries a $300 to $500 fine and a 90-day license suspension.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the deal until it was approved by a judge Friday.

The pop star originally pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated and had his driver´s license suspended during a hearing last month.

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney´s office, which is prosecuting the case, declined to comment ahead of the hearing, as did Timberlake´s attorney, Edward Burke.

Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, a little after midnight on June 18 after police said he ran a stop sign in the village center, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol.

Police in court filings also said the 43-year-old Tennessee native´s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and that he had “slowed speech,” was unsteady on his feet and performed poorly on all sobriety tests.

Timberlake told the officer he had had one martini and was following some friends home, police said.

Sag Harbor is a one-time whaling village mentioned in Herman Melville´s classic novel “Moby-Dick” that is nestled amid the Hamptons, an area of seaside communities around 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of New York City.

Timberlake’s license suspension in New York likely impacts his ability to drive in other states, a legal expert said this week.

Refusing a Breathalyzer test, as Timberlake did during his arrest, triggers an automatic suspension of one’s license under New York state law, which should then be enforced in other states, according to Kenneth Gober, a managing partner at the law firm Lee, Gober & Reyna in Austin, Texas.

“Most states participate in the interstate Driver´s License Compact, an agreement to share information about license suspensions and traffic violations,” he explained in an email. “If a license is suspended in one state it should be suspended in all states.”

In practice, though, it can take a long time for such changes to be reflected across state lines, Gober acknowledged. The pop star also has the resources to easily arrange for a driver and doesn´t need a car to drive to do his job, he added.

Timberlake´s agent and other representatives didn´t respond to emails seeking comment this week.

The 10-time Grammy winner hasn’t publicly addressed the arrest but seemed to acknowledge it during a performance in Chicago just days later.

“It´s been a tough week,” he told the audience during the June 21 show at the United Center. “But you´re here, and I´m here. Nothing can change this moment right now.”

Timberlake has been on tour for months in support of his latest album. He returns to the New York City area in the coming weeks with concerts in Newark, New Jersey and Brooklyn.

Congratulations Incredible 🥰 NFL legend Tom Brady reconciles with ex-wife, re-marrying Gisele Bündchen after 6 years of divorce. ” Did it for my Kids “

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are both facing the heartbreaking emotions that come with losing a family pet. Their family dog, Lulu, passed away and they both shared emotional tributes on social media. The loss comes a little over a year after the couple separated after 13 years together. Despite the breakup, they’re supporting each other and comforting their two kids, 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian, during this sad time.

Bündchen, shared the news with her over 22 million followers on Instagram, with touching photos of her children and their longtime companion, Lulu, a pitbull mix. “Our little Lulu, our guardian angel, has gone to heaven. She will always live in our hearts. We already miss her so much! #unconditionallove RIPLulu,” the model wrote in the caption. The post garnered support from celebrities like Linda Evangelista, and touched the hearts of thousands of followers who expressed their condolences.

The former quarterback of the New England Patriots also took to his social media to share a heartfelt farewell message for Lulu. In his stories, he posted a picture of the dog with his children writing, “We love you Lua, Rest in Peace, forever in our hearts.”

Bündchen and Brady, who announced their divorce in 2022, adopted the pitbull mix during their marriage. Over the years, Lulu became a beloved member of the family. Brady regularly posted about her on social media, and the dog even starred in a television commercial with him in 2014.

Taylor Swift Loses Brand Deals Worth $125 Million After The Big Endorsement

In what can only be described as a seismic shift in the world of pop culture and product placements, Taylor Swift, America’s sweetheart-turned-political commentator, has reportedly lost brand deals worth a staggering $125 million. The reason? Her latest “big endorsement,” which seemed to hit all the wrong notes with some of her biggest sponsors.

The pop icon, known for turning heartache into chart-topping hits and leaving a trail of ex-boyfriends in her lyrics, has now left something else in her wake: a bunch of executives scrambling to cut ties with her brand. It turns out that Swift’s political opinions—despite her knack for turning breakups into ballads—don’t have the same appeal when it comes to selling lipstick and luxury cars.

It all started when Taylor Swift, who has been increasingly vocal about her political views, decided to go all-in on a major endorsement during her latest Instagram live session. After months of hinting at her political leanings and subtly weaving her opinions into her songs, Swift made it official: she threw her full-throated support behind a controversial political figure.

Was it a presidential candidate? A new movement? A cause everyone can get behind? No. In a twist that no one saw coming, Swift endorsed…a vegan cryptocurrency backed by none other than Elon Musk’s second cousin.

Her exact words? “This crypto is the future, and honestly, we need to save the planet—and our portfolios.”

Now, Swifties, her famously devoted fanbase, are used to their queen taking bold stances, but no one expected this. The fallout was swift (pun intended), and not just from fans. Big brands that had signed lucrative deals with the pop star suddenly had second thoughts. After all, a vegan cryptocurrency? Backed by Musk’s cousin? It was just too weird, even for Swift.

Before this moment, Taylor Swift was the golden child of advertising. Her face could sell anything: perfume, sneakers, soft drinks, insurance—you name it. In fact, she’d even managed to make cat food look glamorous in her partnership with Meow Mix. If Taylor endorsed it, it was guaranteed to fly off the shelves. But not this time.

Swift’s big endorsement, which she assumed would be a hit with her environmentally conscious, forward-thinking fanbase, backfired in ways no one could have predicted. Within days of the announcement, some of the biggest brands in the world were backing away from their multi-million-dollar contracts with the star, hoping to avoid the PR mess Swift had inadvertently created

Taylor Swift was the perfect fit for our brand,” said a spokesperson from a well-known luxury car company that has chosen to remain anonymous. “But associating our high-end, gas-guzzling vehicles with vegan cryptocurrency? That’s a no from us.”

Cosmetics giant CoverGirl, another major brand tied to Swift, also dropped her like a bad habit. “Taylor’s influence is undeniable,” a company insider revealed. “But after the endorsement, we had to reassess. We sell lipstick, not digital currency that smells like kale.”

Even Diet Coke, the soda that had been practically synonymous with Taylor’s concerts and tours, suddenly seemed too nervous to maintain the association. “We love Taylor, but this…crypto thing? Yeah, we’re going to pass,” a company spokesperson said while nervously eyeing the endorsement fallout.

It didn’t take long for the total damage to be tallied. Brand deal after brand deal evaporated, and when the dust finally settled, Taylor Swift had lost a jaw-dropping $125 million in endorsements.

The numbers are shocking, even for someone of Swift’s stature. But more shocking still is how fast it all unraveled. In a matter of days, she went from the pop star who could do no wrong to the cautionary tale of how even the most famous endorsements can go horribly, horribly wrong.

Her $30 million deal with a high-end jewelry brand? Gone. Her $20 million sneaker collaboration? Poof. Even her planned line of eco-friendly handbags was axed before it hit the shelves, with one brand exec explaining, “We wanted eco-friendly, but we didn’t want that kind of eco.”

But perhaps the most baffling aspect of the entire debacle has been the reaction from Taylor’s own fanbase. The Swifties, who normally rally behind their idol like knights defending a pop kingdom, were visibly divided over this bizarre endorsement.

On Twitter, the reactions ranged from disbelief to outright confusion. “I loved her music, but now I have to ask: Is Taylor okay? What even is vegan crypto?” tweeted one fan. Another commented, “I was with her through ‘1989’ and ‘Reputation,’ but this…this I can’t follow.”

Meanwhile, some loyal Swifties tried to defend their queen, albeit with less enthusiasm than usual. “I mean, it’s…cool that she’s thinking about the environment? I think? I’m not really sure what’s happening,” wrote one fan in a Reddit thread that quickly spiraled into chaos.

So, how has Taylor responded to all this? Has she issued a formal apology or tried to distance herself from the fiasco? Not quite. In true Taylor Swift fashion, she’s leaning into it.

In a statement released on her Instagram Stories, Swift said, “I know my fans may not understand my decision, but I’ve always been about bold moves. This is just another bold step in my journey to make the world—and the financial market—a better place.”

She went on to defend her decision, claiming that “this cryptocurrency will help fund sustainable projects and save the planet. I believe in it, and I think others will, too.” And while some fans are still scratching their heads, others are wondering if this is just another step in Taylor’s ongoing evolution from country star to pop icon to…cryptocurrency influencer?

As the dust begins to settle on what may be the most bizarre chapter in Taylor Swift’s career, one question remains: Can she bounce back from this?

If history is any indication, the answer is probably yes. After all, Swift has weathered everything from public breakups to celebrity feuds, and each time she’s come back stronger than ever. But this time, the stakes are different. She’s not just dealing with bad press—she’s dealing with brands, billions, and a fanbase that might be starting to wonder if they know the real Taylor at all.

So what’s next for the pop star-turned-cryptocurrency enthusiast? Will she release a new album chronicling her heartbreak over lost endorsements? Will she double down on her crypto love and take it global? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Taylor Swift never does anything halfway, and this latest saga is no exception.

Maybe, just maybe, her next single will be titled “Crypto Heartbreak.”

Right-Wing Influencers Run Wild With Clip of Usher on ‘The View’ Declining to Endorse Harris — But Full Video Tells Very Different Story

Screenshot

A viral clip has been making the rounds on the Right — purporting to show music superstar Usher, during an appearance on The View, declining to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. But the full video tells a very different story.

Turning Points USA founder Charlie Kirk posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday afternoon, writing, “Here’s Joy Behar trying to get Usher to say he’s voting for Kamala, and he basically says ‘no thanks.’”

In the clip, Behar is shown asking Usher his opinion on whether entertainers should publicly take a stand on the 2024 election.

“This emergency that we’re in, I think it behooves artists to come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump because he is an existential threat to the country,” Behar said. “What do you say to that?”

“You know what? I don’t get too deep into politics,” Usher replied. “I didn’t get a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an individual choice. And I think that you’re right. You have to look at the reality of the country that we are, and the country that we want to be, and find the candidate that you feel both are who fits the category of where we want to be. And that’s it. And that’s what you vote based off of. Who you highlight and how you choose to highlight on whatever platform you have is your prerogative.”

Prominent Right-wing accounts shared Kirk’s clip — and applauded Usher for his comments.

“Usher declined to endorse Kamala on ‘The View’ today too despite Joy Behar trying to get him to do so,” Outkick’s Clay Travis said. “Also told people to do their own research and register to vote. Again, it feels like a big change going on here.”

Rapper Azealia Banks thinks Taylor Swift should ‘sue’ Elon Musk for ‘sexual harassment’ after he bizarrely offered to impregnate the superstar earlier this week.

The Tesla founder, 53, raised eyebrows when he reacted to Swift’s dramatic endorsement of Kamala Harris for US president — which included a dig at Trump’s VP pick as she proudly referred to herself as a ‘childless cat lady’ — on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.

‘Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,’ tweeted Musk, who was quickly slammed by critics over the ‘misogynistic’ quip.

And now Banks has inserted herself into the drama by publicly encouraging Swift — who, like Musk, is a billionaire — to ‘sue him for loads of cash.’

‘Nah this is actual sexual harassment,’ the rapper tweeted out Thursday. ‘Taylor should flex on his a** and sue him for loads of cash n level up to be the most undefeatable richest woman in the history of music.

‘Take his f***ing money taylorrrrrrr!!!!’

The Tesla founder, 53, raised eyebrows Tuesday when he reacted to Swift’s dramatic endorsement of Kamala Harris for US president, which included a dig at Trump’s VP pick JD Vance by proudly referring to herself as a ‘childless cat lady,’ on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter)

Banks continued her rant in two follow-up tweets as she marveled at the thought of Swift taking a huge chunk out of Musk’s $250billion net worth.

‘Put his a** in a hole sis. Lmao the pop girlies would all be so crumb. I love this,’ she wrote.

Banks then brought Kanye West — Swift’s biggest rival — into the mix by speculating that he’d ‘have a heart attack’ if Swift successfully took down Musk.

‘lmao the heart attack kanye will have when she is ULTRA -UNREACHABLE levels of WEALTHY of his daddy elon’s back bwahahahaha.’

She concluded with: ‘CUCK THEM ALL SIS’

Swift herself has yet to react to Musk’s tweet and there’s been zero indication that she plans to take legal action against Musk.

The father of twelve’s bizarre pregnancy offer on Wednesday shocked some of his most ardent supporters Journalist Ian Miles Cheong responded to Musk with: ‘My God.’

Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson, 20, called her father’s indecent proposal ‘heinous incel nonsense’ in a post on X’s arch viral site Threads Wednesday.

She added that Musk’s words were ‘disgusting, belittling and incredibly sexist’ and said that her audience ‘deserve better’ if people speak to them like that’.

Swift’s Harris endorsement came moments after she went head-to-head with former President Donald Trump in a heated debate on ABC during which he accused migrants of eating pets and said Democrats wanted to ‘execute babies’ in the ninth month of pregnancy.

The world had been waiting for Swift to weigh in on the election after she backed Joe Biden in 2020 and supported Hilary Clinton in 2016.

And she chose the first meeting between Trump and Ms Harris to make it clear she was backing the Democrats, and slammed the former president for ‘falsely’ claiming her support with a slew of AI images.

Swift posted on Instagram: ‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.

‘I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.

‘I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.’

She accompanied the post with a picture of her calico cat Benjamin Button and signed it off ‘Taylor Swift, childless cat lady.’

Musk’s comments about Swift come after he previously spoke out about Earth’s ‘collapsing birth rate’ and boasted how he is ‘always banging the baby drum’.

Back in 2022, when he had had nine children with three different women, he posted on X that he was ‘doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis’.

Republican vice presidential nominee Vance has mocked ‘childless cat ladies’ in the past.

In 2021, he told Fox News that America was being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs and ‘a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.’

Trump’s team has since shrugged off Swift’s support, claiming it’s further proof the megastar is part of the ‘Democratic elite.’

It’s further evidence that the Democrat Party, unfortunately, is the party of the wealthy elite,’ Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told DailyMail.com.

‘And Taylor Swift may make great music, but she does not understand the struggles of everyday, hardworking families, and President Trump is speaking on behalf of those hardworking, struggling families who don’t get the privilege, like Taylor Swift, of living in a gated community, who need their local police to be funded, who want their Second Amendment right to defend themselves and their family because they don’t have armed security like Taylor Swift has.’

Swift’s post in full read: ‘Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,’ Swift wrote.

‘Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,’ she added.

She noted that ‘I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.’

‘I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story,’ she wrote.

May the best man win.

Justin Timberlake and Matthew Lawrence were at odds over their affection for Danielle Fishel on the set of “Boy Meets World” in the early 2000s.

Lawrence, 44, recalled his beef with the “SexyBack” singer, 43, on Monday’s episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast hosted by Fishel, 43, and her former co-stars Will Friedle and Rider Strong.

“I don’t know if you guys — well, of course, you remember this — but when *NSYNC kept coming over to the set? I found out years later, when I bumped into Justin, that he thought I was not very nice,” Lawrence told his fellow “Boy Meets World” alums.
“He didn’t like me. And he flat out told me to my face,” Lawrence added.

The actor, who played Jack Hunter on the coming-of-age sitcom, said that at the time he was “a huge fan” of Timberlake, whose debut album, 2002’s “Justified,” had just come out.

However, the tension between the pair was evident to Lawrence once he approached Timberlake.

“I didn’t have any recollection of this, and he was like, ‘Oh yeah? Yeah? Now you wanna be friends with me? You were so mean on the set,” Lawrence recalled. “And then I sort of remember.”

The “Mrs. Doubtfire” star admitted that he “was super shy” then, before confessing another reason why Timberlake didn’t like him.

“I had, you know, kind of a crush on Danielle. And these guys kept rolling up on set, like, trying to hit on her!” he revealed.

Strong, 44, confirmed that the members of *NSYNC — Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Chris Kirpatrick and JC Chasez — were “just orbiting around Danielle in a constant circle.”

“I was wondering if you were gonna say it!” Fishel said in response to Lawrence admitting the crush he had on her. “I was like, ‘I also know why he was probably a little standoffish.’”

Strong further explained how the boy band fawned over Fishel on the set of the show.

“I remember us guys would always be like, ‘These dudes! Oh my god, they come around here.’ And we would watch Danielle, like, completely ignore all of us,” Strong recalled. “We would, like, lose our sister. We would just lose her, and we’d be like, ‘Oh, god. She totally changes around them. She just totally changes.’”

Friedle, 48, noted that Fishel “had a one-in-five chance” at the group, and poked fun at how she ultimately chose Bass, 45. The pair dated years before Bass came out as gay.

“I liked the comfort and security of knowing nothing was gonna happen,” Fishel joked about her relationship with Bass.

Turning back to the Timberlake-Lawrence beef, Lawrence said he “didn’t get a chance to explain” to Timberlake that he had a crush on Fishel, which provoked their beef.

Seven years after “Boy Meets World” ended, Lawrence started dating “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke. They got married in 2019 but Burke, 40, filed for divorce in 2022. The divorce was finalized later that year.

Lawrence is now dating Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas from the girl group TLC.

Timberlake, meanwhile, has been married to Jessica Biel since 2012 and they have two kids together. Biel, 42, has stood by Timberlake through cheating allegations and his recent DWI charge.

And Fishel is married to producer Jensen Karp, with whom she shares two children. The actress announced on her podcast last month that she was diagnosed with an early stage of breast cancer.

The View kicked off this morning with a slightly different looking Hot Topics table. While we’re used to seeing Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin around the table most days, Thursday kicked off with a familiar face who has often visited The View: Chelsea Clinton.

Of course, for Clinton to be there one of the hosts had to be gone. This time, it was Hostin who was missing from the table.

When the ladies walked out to their new theme song, it was Clinton who filed out after Griffin. As they all settled into their seats, Goldberg explained why the panel looked a little unfamiliar this morning.

“Hello everyone and welcome to The View! Sunny is out, but here today with us is the fabulous Chelsea Clinton,” Goldberg told the audience as they cheered for the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, who was seated in Hostin’s usual spot at the Hot Topics table.

Where is Sunny Hostin on The View? Why isn’t Sunny Hostin on The View? And why is Chelsea Clinton on The View?

Lucky for you, we’ve got answers. Keep reading for more information.

Where is Sunny Hostin on The View?

Hostin is not on The View this morning. The co-host was around for yesterday’s episode to recap the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, but she was nowhere to be found on Thursday’s show.

Why is Chelsea Clinton on The View?

With Hostin off, Clinton was pulled in to co-host. The former first daughter has been on the show plenty of times in the past, often to talk politics. Most recently, she told The View panel that she thinks President Joe Biden deserves more credit for his administration’s accomplishments.

When will Sunny Hostin be back on The View?

Goldberg did not reveal when Hostin will be back on the show, but we’ve got our fingers crossed she’ll be at the Hot Topics table when we tune in tomorrow morning.

How to watch The View:

To tune in to The View, you’ll need access to ABC, the show’s network home. The View airs at 11/10c every weekday. You can watch ABC through a traditional cable subscription via the ABC website, or stream through platforms like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV.

Elon Musk is slammed for ‘creepy’ offer to ‘give Taylor Swift a child’: ‘What is wrong with you?’

Elon Musk has been blasted for offering to “give Taylor Swift a child” after the singer endorsed Kamala Harris.

On Tuesday night (September 10), millions of viewers tuned into the former United States President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris’ first presidential debate.

In the event, held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the two candidates bashed each other’s policies and proposals for a fiery 90 minutes.

Taylor Swift Endorses Kamala Harris: Bloomberg Opinion

Moments after the end of the debate, the 34-year-old ‘Love Story’ songstress took to her Instagram to publicly endorse the Democratic candidate.

Swift said in her post, shared with her 283 million followers, that Harris would be the “warrior” to fight for the rights and causes she believes in.

Read Swift’s post below:

Swift, who shared her statement alongside a picture of herself with her cat from her December TIME cover, continued: “As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can….I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.

“I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she explained. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Swift also addressed AI-generated pictures shared by Trump that falsely depicted her and her fans endorsing his campaign for president. “It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” she shared.

The ‘Karma’ songstress then penned that she did her “research” and urged her fans to do the same, before signing off with “Childless cat lady,” a reference to remarks made by Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance.

As of the time of writing, over 6 million people have liked Swift’s endorsement of the 59-year-old.

Following the Grammy-winning singer’s endorsement, X owner Elon Musk took to the social media platform to send a bizarre public message to the artist.

“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” he wrote in the post, which has amassed 107K likes.

The Tesla owner’s post sparked thousands of replies, with many people labeling his offer as “creepy”.

“What the f*** is wrong with you,” one angry person questioned, while a second slammed: “You are creepy and weird.”

“Elon is such a f***ing creep. Go take care of your own children and keep Taylor’s name out of your f***ing mouth,” a third blasted, and a fourth remarked that Swift should “get a restraining order for this comment alone”.

Neither the musician nor her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have responded to Musk’s strange offer.

The 53-year-old billionaire has fathered 12 children. He welcomed six kids with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with his ex-girlfriend Grimes, and three with his Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

Musk has long been outspoken about declining birth rates and his belief that people must seek to have more babies to help the population.

In July 2022, the Space X founder wrote on X: “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far,” and highlighted his commitment to addressing the “underpopulation crisis”.

He also emphasized in his biography that he only wants “smart people” to have children, as cited by PEOPLE.

Jon Bon Jovi helps save woman from jumping off bridge in heart-stopping police footage

In a dramatic moment caught on camera, Jon persuaded a distressed woman to step away from the ledge of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.

The ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ singer was in Nashville filming a music video when the incident occurred. According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the event took place on Tuesday night as Jon and his team were working on the bridge.

Video footage shows Jon approaching the woman, who was perched on the bridge’s edge overlooking the Cumberland River.

Accompanied by a member of his entourage, Jon calmly and compassionately leaned over the railing, speaking to the woman and slowly coaxing her back from danger.

He then pulled her to safety and provided comfort in a moment that could have ended tragically.

Nashville Police responded quickly, and Chief John Drake commended Jon’s quick and compassionate response. The department also acknowledged Jon’s actions on social media, thanking him and his team for their role in bringing the woman to safety.

This emotional rescue is another testament to Jon Bon Jovi’s commitment to helping others, a quality he has consistently shown throughout his career. Known not just for his music but also for his charitable endeavors, Jon has sold over 120 million records since forming his namesake band in 1983.

Earlier this year, Jon shared that he is gradually returning to live performances after undergoing a rare throat surgery in June 2022.

The successful vocal fold medialization procedure has allowed him to reclaim his iconic voice.

In a recent interview with AARP, Jon humbly acknowledged his slow but steady recovery, noting that performing live remains central to his career.

Jon has been candid about his fears and frustrations following his surgery, revealing how deeply the possibility of losing his voice impacted him.

With characteristic integrity, he emphasized his refusal to lip-sync or use Auto-tune during live performances, saying he’d rather “get hit by a bus on the highway.”

Fellow musician Shania Twain connected Jon with her vocal surgeon, Dr. Robert Sataloff, who guided him through his recovery.

Dr. Sataloff praised Jon’s exceptional work ethic and reminded fans that his vocal challenges were a natural part of aging.

Elon Musk’s daughter responds to his ‘creepy’ tweet about Taylor Swift: ‘Heinous incel nonsense’

Elon Musk’s daughter has issued a scathing response to her father’s “creepy” post about Taylor Swift.

On Tuesday night (September 10), former United States President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had their first presidential debate held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

After the end of the fiery 90-minute debate, the 34-year-old ‘Karma’ songstress took to her Instagram to publicly endorse the Democratic candidate.

“As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can…I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election,” Swift announced.

The ‘Love Story’ singer shared her statement alongside a picture of herself with her cat from her December TIME cover.

Speaking to her 284 million followers, she wrote that the 59-year-old would be the “warrior” to fight for the rights and causes she believes in.

“I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she explained. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Swift also addressed AI-generated pictures shared by Trump that falsely depicted her and her fans endorsing his campaign for president.

“It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” she shared.

The Grammy-winning star then wrote that she did her “research” and encouraged her fans to do the same, before signing off with “Childless cat lady,” a reference to remarks made by Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance.

Following Swift’s endorsement, X owner Elon Musk took to the social media platform to send a “creepy” public message to the artist, writing: “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”

Many people were left disturbed by his response, including his trans daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson, who took to Instagram Threads to share her thoughts.

The 20-year-old wrote: “The timing for the Taylor Swift endorsement could not have been better. Can’t wait to see the Swifties at the polls! Vote blue,” before following the post up with commentary on her father’s unsettling message.

“Also, yes, I saw ‘the tweet’. Heinous incel nonsense is in fact heinous incel nonsense,” she said. “I don’t really have anything to add to it, it’s just abhorrent. That much is obvious and if you don’t see how then you’re part of the problem.”

She added: “I would just like to say to my audience members, don’t let people talk to you like that. It’s disgusting, it’s belittling, and incredibly sexist. You deserve better.”

Wilson, who became estranged from her father due to her transition, has become increasingly vocal this year following her father’s appearance on Jordan Peterson’s podcast.

During the podcast, the Space X founder remarked that his daughter had been “killed by the woke mind virus,” to which Wilson responded he is “desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him”.

She also said that the father-of-12 had been absent all her life and was a “serial adulterer” who had been hostile to her for being feminine.

“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged,” she said, per Daily Beast. “Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
