Musician Sheryl Crow revealed that an armed man got onto her property after she publicly ditched her Tesla to protest “President Musk.” In an interview with Variety, the singer-songwriter described the alarming example of right-wing backlash to her viral video in February. “This feels different, because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns [in a 1996 song], not everybody was armed—and certainly I didn’t live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed,“ she said. “So yeah, there was a moment where I actually really felt very afraid: A man got on my property, in my barn, who was armed. It doesn’t feel safe when you’re dealing with people who are so committed.” Crow nevertheless indicated she would post the video again, even while knowing the response it would generate. “I can’t help it,” she said. “I feel like I’m fighting for my kids.” Crow pledged to donate profits from her sold electric vehicle to NPR, “which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth,” she wrote in an Instagram post sharing the video at the time.

Michael Bolton’s daughters say a family bowling night tipped them off that something was seriously wrong with the legendary singer. In a new People interview, Bolton, 72, opened up about being diagnosed with glioblastoma, rare form of brain cancer, in late 2023. Just after Thanksgiving that year, he went bowling with his kids and grandkids. But he kept bowling out of turn, again and again, his daughter Taryn recalled. “That was when we were like, ‘Something’s wrong with his brain,’” she told People. Looking back, she said, the signs were already there: “We missed so many things.” Earlier that same night, Bolton suddenly fell out of his chair. And a few weeks before, while performing at a charity event in mid-November, Bolton grew nauseous and struggled to keep his balance. The Grammy-winning singer eventually went to the hospital after he suffered a “bad” headache over the same weekend, where an MRI revealed a tumor in his brain. Doctors confirmed it was glioblastoma, which affects roughly 15,000 Americans each year, after removing the tumor during surgery. The cancer has a recurrence rate of about 90 percent, but Bolton’s most recent scan in early April was clear. Bolton said his experience has given him a “heightened sense of appreciation” for life.

The NFL has slapped the Atlanta Falcons with a $250,000 fine and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich with a separate $100,000 penalty after Ulbrich’s son pulled a prank on Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. Jax Ulbrich, 21, and his friend prank-called Sanders on Friday, impersonating Saints GM Mickey Loomis and falsely telling him he’d been drafted by the team. The prank, which was filmed and quickly went viral, hit even harder given that Sanders—long projected as a first round pick—had to wait three agonizing days before the Cleveland Browns finally picked him at No. 144 on Saturday. Even President Donald Trump weighed in during the draft, calling NFL owners “stupid” for not picking Sanders. In an apology posted to Instagram, Jax wrote, “Shedeur, what I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing, and shameful. I’m so sorry I took away from your moment, it was selfish and childish.” The Falcons said in a statement, “we appreciate the NFL’s swift and thorough review of last week’s data exposure and the event that transpired due to it,” adding that, “the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives.” Sanders told reporters that while he thought the prank was “childish,” it didn’t bother him, according to ESPN. “It didn’t really have an impact on me,” Sanders said, “because it was just like, I don’t feed into negativity.”
Michelle Obama changed her outlook on spanking when she realized how it made her feel. The former first lady, who shares daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, with former President Barack Obama, shared the revelation on her IMO podcast with brother Craig Robinson. “I felt silly,” after spanking her daughters, Obama said during the Wednesday episode’s conversation with Damon and Marlon Wayans. “I took a couple spankings for me to be like, yeah, you know what? But I felt like, you know, this is a little kid and the fact that I can’t think of any better way to get my point across than to smack somebody on the butt, I felt embarrassed.” That said, Obama wouldn’t classify herself as a new-school kind of parent. “I want to be a proponent for reinstating some of the stuff that we had,” in older generations, she explained. For example, when kids say, “‘I hate my mom.’ It’s like, you better say that in your head, in your room,” she continued. “You don’t say that out loud. You know, parents are too afraid to set those kinds of boundaries. And I think that’s also part of the challenge that we’re facing in this generation.”

A child damaged a painting worth around $56 million at an art museum in the Netherlands. A young visitor got too close to American artist Mark Rothko’s “Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8” at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. A spokesperson for the museum said that the artwork “sustained superficial damage,” the child leaving “small scratches” in the lower part of the painting. “Conservation expertise has been sought in the Netherlands and abroad. We are currently researching the next steps for the treatment of the painting,” they added. The spokesperson said that they “expect that the work will be able to be shown again in the future.” The museum has not yet released the estimated cost of repair for the piece. This is not the first time a Rothko has been damaged. In 2012 Rothko’s 1958 piece “Black on Maroon” was defaced at the Tate Modern by artist Wlodzimierz Umaniec, who ended up getting sentenced to two years in prison. It took 18 months for the painting to be fully restored. In the past, the Dutch museum has asked visitors to pay the repair costs for works they damage. The museum made a visitor pay for the restoration costs of Wim T. Schippers’ three foot-long carpet of peanut butter titled “Peanut Butter Platform,” after they accidentally stepped on it in 2011.
Europeans are starting to avoid travel to the United States over President Donald Trump’s economic brinksmanship and increasingly unwelcoming border stance, two major airlines have warned. “We know there are a lot of customers that are holding back in buying tickets for a little more clarity on... the border, and things like that,” Air France-KLM CEO Ben Smith told analysts Wednesday, according to the Financial Times. Transatlantic bookings from Europe for May and June have dropped 2.4 percent compared to the same period last year, the outlet reported. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said the airline group was slashing its planned growth on transatlantic routes in half. “When it comes to vacation trips to the U.S., especially from the German, Austrian and Swiss markets, it’s easy to imagine conversations around the kitchen table where families are saying, ‘We don’t know yet if we really want to go,’” he said. Spohr noted that Trump’s sudden walkback on his tariffs against Europe could help bookings “recover.” Stories of European travelers being detained after arriving at U.S. airports have circulated widely in recent weeks. “Right now, it’s really the new administration that’s scaring people. They’re afraid of going through Customs,” a tour guide in California told France 24.
Actress Priscilla Pointer, who had roles in the television show Dallas, the film Carrie, and portrayed mother figures in several other films in the 1970s and 1980s, died Monday, her daughter announced. She was 100. Amy Irving wrote in an Instagram post that her mother died “peacefully in her sleep at the age of 100, hopefully to run off with her 2 adoring husbands and her many dogs. She most definitely will be missed.” Pointer had roles alongside her daughter in six films besides 1976’s Carrie, including Looking for Mr. Goodbar the following year, The Falcon and the Snowman (1985), and Blue Velvet (1986). Pointer was on the CBS show Dallas for six seasons, ending in 1983. For 32 years, Pointer was married to Jules Irving, the artistic director of Lincoln Center, with whom she had three children: Amy, David, and Katie. After Irving’s death in 1979, Pointer married actor Robert Symonds, the associate director of Lincoln Center’s Repertory Theater. Pointer was Steven Spielberg’s mother-in-law for four years in the 1980s due to her daughter Amy’s marriage to the director.
Michael Bolton opened up about how his rare form of brain cancer has altered his life, saying that “succumbing to the challenges is not an option.” The Grammy-winner was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in 2023, but he never lost hope. His daughter, Holly, recalled how “he was in recovery in the hospital room singing within minutes.” Bolton told People that his experience has given him a “heightened sense of appreciation” for life. “I find comfort in general more easily,” he said, adding: “It’s unthinkable for it to be okay not to make the most of your life.” Since his diagnosis, Bolton has always been surrounded by family, in particular his three daughters, Holly, Isa, and Taryn. He noted how “to know that you’re not alone” is “a big deal.” “We’re in this together, and that’s it,” Taryn added. Yet Bolton still worries if he’s adequately preparing his daughters for the future. He remarked: “It’s a reality of mortality. Suddenly a new light has gone on that raises questions, including ‘Am I doing the best that I can do with my time?’” But the singer remains optimistic, even choosing not to receive a prognosis of his cancer. He “want[s] to keep going,” saying how he’s even come up with a new song title: “Ain’t Going Down Without a Fight." Bolton announced his diagnosis to fans on Instagram in 2024, saying that he would be stepping away from touring for a while.

The shortest song ever to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart isn’t by Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift. It’s actually Hollywood comedian Jack Black’s Minecraft Movie meme jam ”Steve’s Lava Chicken,” which received 7 million streams nationwide in one week alone. Between April 18 and April 24, the 34-second-long bop debuted at No. 78 and also reached No. 10 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. Black is a key member of rock duo Tenacious D, and his tune booted out Kid Cudi’s 37-second “Beautiful Trip” for the historic record. A Minecraft Movie has been a high-grossing hit since its premiere on April 4, earning $800 million worldwide in less than a month. The video game-themed film stars Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Danielle Brooks, and follows a brother and sister as they join a legendary crafter to save the world of Minecraft from an evil sorceress.
Rapper Fat Joe has filed a lawsuit against his former hype man over claims he repeatedly called the musician a pedophile on social media. The ’90s rapper, real name Joe Cartagena, claims his longtime hype man, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, is attempting to extort him in an attempt to collect money he didn’t earn and has resorted to “countless posts on social media containing a torrent of wholly fabricated, grotesque, and scandalous allegations—accusing Cartagena of unspeakable acts such as pedophilia, statutory rape and sexual assault,” according to court documents. Also named in the lawsuit is Dixon’s attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who is also representing Diddy accuser Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in an unrelated case. Fat Joe alleges that Blackburn has threatened to “report him to Homeland Security” via email, while Dixon has made multiple accusations on Instagram that the rapper is sleeping with an underage girl, and alleges that he once flew a 16-year-old girl across state lines for sex. Accompanying the claim was a picture of Joe alongside Diddy and DJ Khaled. Fat Joe has denied all the allegations, calling them “completely false and part of a criminal conspiracy orchestrated between a disgruntled former hype man and his attorney.”
