Tori Spelling shared a vulnerable moment on the debut episode of her podcast, misSPELLING. Spelling, who filed for divorce from Dean McDermott on March 29, started the episode by admitting she had not yet told McDermott that she’d filed the paperwork. At the time of the episode’s recording, it had just become “public,” she said. “I have to call him right now. He’s at work. This sucks,” she said. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress explained that she was told she could only inform her ex about her filing “once it was accepted and publicly posted.” She is then heard calling McDermott and leaving…

It continued to be a celebration of all things Bey on Monday at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, where Beyoncé was awarded the prestigious Innovator Award. Legendary artist Stevie Wonder took the stage to present the “Texas Hold ‘Em” hitmaker with the accolade, giving a summary of her unparalleled accomplishments thus far, which include being the “first African-American woman to headline Coachella” as well as having the distinction of having a number one hit across all four decades since the 1990s. And that’s not to mention arguably her buzziest career moment yet, which of course was the drop of her eighth studio album “Cowboy…

For the first time, women in the US can walk into a store and buy a supply of birth control pills right off the shelf, without the need for a prescription or health insurance. Opill, the first oral contraceptive approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter use, has arrived at most stores in certain retail pharmacy chains such as CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. The product “is now available at CVS.com and through the CVS Pharmacy app and is arriving at more than 7,500 CVS Pharmacy stores in the coming weeks,” spokesperson Matt Blanchette said in an email. “For added privacy and convenience, customers…

The Powerball jackpot has ballooned to a tremendous $1.09 billion after yet another lottery drawing yielded no top winner Monday night. Monday’s winning numbers were: 19, 24, 40, 42, 56 and Powerball 23. The next drawing will be held Wednesday night. If a player finally snags the jackpot, they could choose the annuitized option, with an initial payment and the remainder spread over 29 years, or the lump-sum option of $527.3 million, both before taxes. The jackpot is the fourth-largest in Powerball’s history and could soon close in on the $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize won by a ticket in New Jersey last week. Not…

As of Monday, about half a million fast food workers in California are making at least $20 per hour, $4 higher than the overall state minimum wage. The new rate applies to restaurant chains with more than 60 nationwide locations and is a result of a years-long fight by workers to establish better wages and working conditions, specifically in California’s fast-food industry. The law also creates a fast-food council, a first of its kind in the US, with representatives from both the restaurant industry and workers, who can increase the wage annually for the rest of the decade, in pace…

There’s a loud buzzing sound as a small silhouette approaches in the air. The noise is eerily reminiscent of Russian drone strikes on Ukraine, but this episode was recorded closer to Moscow than to Kyiv. “They’re flying right towards us,” a woman is heard saying in Russian, in a video shared on social media and reviewed by CNN. As the object comes closer, it becomes clear: This is a Ukrainian drone, flying over Russian territory. “I’m f**king scared,” she lets out. Another video, recorded moments later, shows the same drone veering left as loud air raid sirens muffle the propeller’s noise. Seconds…

Tens of millions of Americans could see skyrocketing internet bills this spring or may be abruptly kicked off their plans — and it will be congressional Republicans who are to blame, the Biden administration said Tuesday. The accusation reflects a last-ditch pressure campaign to save a federal program that has helped connect more than 23 million US households to the internet, many for the first time. Without it, those households will be forced to pay hundreds of dollars more per year to stay online. By the end of the month, funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) will run out,…

Shares of Donald Trump’s social media company fell by more than 20% on Monday, less than a week after it began publicly trading under the DJT ticker. The drop comes after Trump Media & Technology Group reported it had lost nearly $60m (£48m) last year while only bringing in around $4m in revenue. The price plunge caused the former president’s net worth to shrink by $1bn, according to Bloomberg. Shares had surged last week, giving the company an $11bn valuation. But experts warned the stock was bound to tumble, as its main product – Truth Social – loses users and…

I’m handed an elegant pear-shaped bottle with an intricate leaf pattern reaching up around the neck. Despite being empty, it’s heavy. I ask how much the bottle costs. “About £270,” I’m told. I hand the bottle back – very carefully. The bottle, designed for a rare whisky, is one of the creations of Stoelzle Flaconnage, based in Knottingley, West Yorkshire. Glassware has been made on this site since 1871. In 1994 the factory was taken over by Austria’s Stoelzle Glass Group, which has focused the plant on making bottles for the spirits industry. It can handle the design, bottle making…

Crisis-hit Chinese property developer Country Garden has suspended trade in its shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after delaying the publication of its annual financial results. The firm said last week that it needed more time to collect information as it restructures its debts. It defaulted on its overseas debt last year and faces a winding-up petition. In January, rival real estate giant China Evergrande was ordered to liquidate by a Hong Kong court. Country Garden said “due to the continuous volatility of the industry, the operating environment the Group confronting is becoming increasingly complex”, when it announced its earnings…
