Kevin Hart did not hold back when he came across his latest wax figure. The comedian, 47, posted a video to Instagram reacting to a new statue of himself at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The figure shows Hart dressed in a black T-shirt, black pants, a leather jacket, and a long gold chain. Hart’s response made clear he did not recognize himself in any of it. In his caption, Hart questioned what he had done to deserve the statue, called it an attack, and asked directly who the figure was supposed to be. He closed by…

Shortly before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, residents across Northeast Ohio heard a sudden, rattling boom that shook windows, startled pets, and sent people rushing outside to find out what had happened. Some assumed it was a truck, a construction blast, or a minor earthquake. It was none of those things. A 7-ton asteroid had just broken apart roughly 30 miles above Valley City, Ohio, unleashing a pressure wave that rolled across a wide stretch of the region. NASA confirmed the event and said the space rock entered the atmosphere traveling at 45,000 miles per hour. It was first detected about…

President Donald Trump issued a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act Today, temporarily suspending a law that has governed American maritime shipping for more than a century. The White House confirmed the move, framing it as a necessary step to keep oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal moving freely to U.S. ports as the conflict in and around Iran continues to squeeze global energy markets. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the waiver as part of Operation Epic Fury, the name the administration has given to its ongoing military operations, and said it represented another effort to reduce short-term disruptions to…

The rollout for the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer was not a standard studio drop. Over the 24 hours leading up to Wednesday morning, fans around the world were handed small fragments of the footage in a coordinated reveal that built anticipation piece by piece. It all came together when Tom Holland climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and unveiled the full trailer live, a moment that felt deliberately designed to match the scale of what the film is promising. The trailer is now out, and it delivers considerably more than a first look at Peter Parker’s new circumstances.…

The 2026 Oscars red carpet opened at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood Today with a fashion story that had been building all season. After the Golden Globes delivered a parade of saturated, high-voltage color in January, Hollywood’s biggest night took a softer turn. Pastels emerged as the defining palette of the evening, with several of the night’s most talked-about looks arriving in shades of lilac, blush and butter yellow. The shift was not accidental. Fall 2026 runway collections from Chanel, Chloé and Acne Studios had already previewed a spring-leaning, Easter-adjacent sensibility, giving stylists a range of soft-toned options to draw…

A significant winter storm swept through Minnesota over the weekend, triggering a wave of closures, cancellations and emergency declarations that stretched from the Twin Cities metro into southern Minnesota and parts of western Wisconsin. Gov. Tim Walz authorized the Minnesota National Guard to support emergency operations as state officials issued a no-travel advisory for southern Minnesota. More than 600 flights were canceled at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Sunday, and snow emergencies went into effect in Minneapolis, St. Paul and several other cities across the state. The storm is expected to deposit more than a foot of snow in some…

The New York Giants agreed to terms with wide receiver Darnell Mooney on Saturday, signing him to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. The move continues what has been an aggressive and focused offseason for a franchise committed to building a legitimate passing attack around second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart. Mooney enters his seventh NFL season and his first with New York after two years with the Atlanta Falcons. He brings 309 career receptions, 4,028 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns across 91 games, giving the Giants a proven and experienced option to round…

Buddy Guy performed at the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday, joining the musical tribute to Sinners at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as part of a live performance of the Oscar-nominated song “I Lied to You.” The appearance capped an awards season that has introduced Guy, at 89, to more new listeners than any previous period in a career spanning nearly seven decades. The performance brought together Miles Caton, Raphael Saadiq and a guest lineup including Misty Copeland, Eric Gales, Brittany Howard, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith. It was framed by…

What began as a historic night for Kawhi Leonard ended with the Clippers star hobbling to the locker room and Los Angeles watching a four-game winning streak come to an end. The Clippers fell to the Sacramento Kings 118-109 on Saturday, a loss that felt secondary to the question of how much time Leonard might now miss. Record falls in the fourth quarter Leonard had already made history before the injury changed everything. His performance Saturday marked his 45th consecutive game scoring at least 20 points, surpassing the franchise record set by Bob McAdoo during the 1974-75 season when the…
