Jesse Williams' Playful Baby Announcement Has Fans Talking New

Jesse Williams' Playful Baby Announcement Has Fans Talking

Jesse Williams and partner Alejandra Onieva have welcomed their first baby together, his third. In a Monday, September 28, Instagram video, Williams, 45, opened the fridge to rummage through baby bottles as Onieva, 34, spoke Spanish with a group in the background. “English, alright, English! I want my son to speak English,” he said to the people behind him. “Bad enough his name is Hector.” The video appears to be a reenactment of 1989’s Do The Right Thing, where Spike Lee’s character says nearly the same words while going through the fridge. Williams shared a clip from the film in his Instagram carousel on Monday. Williams did not share further details about the pair’s child, captioning the upload with a series of emojis, “�� �� �� �� �� ☀️ �� ��.” Onieva, for her part, reposted the carousel via her Instagram Story on Monday and also shared a clip of the baby’s feet resting on her stomach. News broke in May that Onieva was expecting the couple’s first child together. Onieva later confirmed her pregnancy while sharing several photos to Instagram featuring her growing baby bump. Williams and Onieva initially crossed paths on the set of Prime Video’s Hotel Costiera in 2024. The pair were later spotted spending time together off screen the following year. The Grey’s Anatomy actor previously welcomed daughter Sadie and son Maceo with ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee. The pair, who wed in 2012, separated five years later. Williams, for his part, has been candid about navigating parenthood through the years. In 2023, Williams shared that his upbringing has "tremendously influenced” how he has strived to raise his children. “You try to make sure to expand on the good and try to reduce things that were scary or negatively influenced you and protect your kids without rendering them unprepared for the realities of their life,” Williams told Parade at the time. “So all of that stuff is informative, and I think all parents can relate to hearing their own parents in their voice as they parent. I definitely find myself surprised at how often I sound like my dad or mom.” The following year, Williams opened up about finding time to be there for his children while filming Hotel Costiera in Italy. “[I was] waking up at 3 a.m. to call the kids because I'm nine hours ahead of them, so sleep was really tough,” he told People in 2025.

Texas Teacher Sparks Outrage with Light Sentence After Parent's Shocking Testimony New

Texas Teacher Sparks Outrage with Light Sentence After Parent's Shocking Testimony

See more of our coverage in your search results. A Texas high school teacher who admitted to having sex with two teenage boys received only a slap on the wrist after one of the teen’s fathers offered his support and claimed his son was “thriving” and not traumatized by the relationship.Shelby Dawn Lashombe, 25, of Waco, who was facing decades behind bars, received a sweetheart deal of deferred probation for six years and a $1,000 fine as part of a plea deal with prosecutors last week, KWTX reported.The judge additionally ordered Lashombe to spend just four weekends in jail and another 60 days working on the county chain gang. Shelby Dawn Lashombe will only spend a few weekends in jail, a judge ruled last week. McLennan County Sheriff's OfficeIn cases ending with deferred probation, there is no final judgement of guilt and Lashombe will avoid felony conviction if she complies with the conditions of probation. Judge Thomas West told Lashombe in court Friday that he would have given her a more severe sentence if one of the boys’ fathers had not testified that his son is doing well after the twisted tryst.The boy’s father said his son is going to counseling but was not traumatized by what happened. He is excelling academically, playing well on his school football team and has recently been accepted to several universities, the dad said, according to KWTX.His son is “thriving” and does not feel victimized, the dad continued, adding that he does not consider Lashombe to be a sexual predator and does not want to see her go to prison.However that same boy’s mother, who is reportedly in a custody battle with the father, whom she divorced, said her son suffers from depression, anxiety and has isolated himself from friends and family. Lashombe was a teacher at Valley Mills high school in central Texas. Valley Mills Independent School District / FacebookHe wanted to switch schools, stopped going to Catholic Mass and skipped his high school prom, the mother said in an impact statement. She claimed Lashombe’s “calculated and predatory actions” robbed her son’s innocence.Lashombe was busted in September 2025 after police received a tip-off that she was spotted kissing a 16-year-old student. Neither of the victims were students at Valley Mills High School in central Texas, where Lashombe was teaching at the time of her arrest. She’s since been working at a furniture manufacturing company in nearby Waco, according to KWTX.The 16-year-old Lashombe was caught smooching, a known family friend, told investigators that he had sex with the teacher “more than once,” and that she knew he was underage, according to an arrest affidavit. Lashombe said that they had been having sex for about six months.Lashombe also admitted to having sex with a second boy who was under the age of 17, and who attended a different school to the first victim.“She had no control over them. She had no power as a teacher over them,” Lashombe’s attorney Cody Cleveland said. “The boys independently reached out to her through social media and one thing led to another. But this was not a situation where she used any authority as a teacher over them to make them enter into what would be considered nonconsensual acts.”Some 50 people packed into the courtroom for her sentencing hearing on Friday, nearly all of them there to support Lashombe, KWTX reported.Lashombe pleaded guilty in April to two counts of improper relationship between educator and student — second-degree felonies punishable by up to 20 years in prison.The judge said he was also moved to reduce Lashombe’s sentence due to testimony from her therapist, who said Lashombe has been diagnosed with adjustment disorders, anxiety and depression. She said the teacher also developed symptoms of PTSD for the eight hours she spent in jail after her arrest.

New iPhone's Color Fiasco: Why Buyers Are Demanding Refunds New

New iPhone's Color Fiasco: Why Buyers Are Demanding Refunds

See more of our coverage in your search results. This isn’t the color of money.Despite costing over $1,000, the new iPhone 18 Pro is sending some shoppers into buyer’s remorse, with reports that the so-called state-of-the-art devices are beginning to fade.Apple fans have taken to social media to complain that the $1,199 device, which dropped on September 18, was showing signs of discoloration around the three rear cameras. The color drain was particularly pronounced in Burgundy and Black models.“Hey everyone, I noticed that the area around my camera lenses looks slightly lighter/pinkish compared to the surrounding camera housing,” declared one user. “There is no oil, residue, or dirt on the phone, and I’ve cleaned the area carefully. I’m also not seeing any scratches, dents, or physical damage.”The discoloration primarily affected the lens area. Andy Lockhart / FacebookAn accompanying photo showed the Burgundy phone’s triple lenses ringed with slightly pink halos. “I have the same thing on Burgundy Pro Max,” declared another. “Everyone that’s saying you just need to wipe it off is wrong, it does not wipe off. It’s a discoloration on the unit.”Others claimed their iPhones were unintentionally two-toned upon arrival, ruling out the effects of normal wear and tear or improper cleaning. “My black iPhone 18 Pro Max came in the exact same way,” complained one bummed-out customer.“Mine looks exactly the same,” lamented another. “It was that way out of the box. I figured I would clean it off when I got home. The stains are not going away, no matter what I’ve done.”Reddit users claimed that the discoloration wasn’t due to normal wear and tear. Reddit / Low_Midnight_2601Some said they’d already requested a full refund. “Mine is horrible. Already on its way back to Apple,” wrote one dissatisfied techhead.Coincidentally, customers who’d bought the silver or pale blue “glacier” models didn’t report any pigment problems.The defect affected the Burgundy and Black versions, according to users. ZUMAPRESS.comThis isn’t the first time an iPhone has caused a pigment panic.Apple customers complained that the iPhone 17 Pro‘s Cosmic Orange model had changed to pink within weeks of its debut.Why?AppleInsider chalked up this defect to the colorization process.Both the 17s and the iPhone 18 Pros undergo anodization, which involves submersion in an electrolytic bath to form a porous aluminum oxide layer. This infuses the structure with the pigment, theoretically creating a coat that won’t come off.Meanwhile, an improperly applied seal can leave Apple devices susceptible to contaminants such as water or skin oils, any of which can affect the hue.Some leakers claimed that Apple had failed to address the problem, suggesting that future models — such as the iPhone 18 — would be vulnerable as well.

Lark Voorhies' Heartfelt Tribute to Dennis Haskins: What She Said New

Lark Voorhies' Heartfelt Tribute to Dennis Haskins: What She Said

Saved by the Bell’s Lark Voorhies is the first cast member to react to the death of late costar Dennis Haskins. “Knowing Dennis Haskins for almost 40 years has been one of the truest blessings of my life, which makes losing him hurt so deeply,” the actress, 52, wrote via Instagram late Monday, September 28. Voorhies continued, “We shared so much history together from our earliest days, and through it all, he remained a fabulous person, a loyal friend, and someone with such a kind, gentle heart. I am truly heartbroken by his passing and will miss his warmth and laughter more than words can say. Rest in peace, Dennis, you will always hold a special place in my heart.” Voorhies played spoiled student Lisa Turtle on the hit NBC sitcom, which aired between 1989 and 1993, and followed a group of students at the fictional Bayside High School. She was among the show’s core teenage cast, starring alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, the late Dustin Diamond, Tiffany Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley. Haskins was best known for playing Principal Richard Belding, a role he originated on the short-lived Disney Channel series Good Morning, Miss Bliss, on the hit show. He reprised the role in Saved by the Bell: The New Class, which aired from 1993 to 2000. Haskins’ representative confirmed the actor’s death at age 75 in a statement to Us on Monday. “It’s a tragic loss,” his spokesperson said. “Everyone loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis loved him even more.” “[Dennis] was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans,” his rep told Us. “He always had time for them, no matter what. He was my client and dear friend for over 20 years, and I will miss him terribly. I’m heartbroken.” “On Good Morning, Miss Bliss, I was just glad to have a job. It was a long seven-audition process,” Haskins told Parade in 2013. “I was in. I was out. And then, finally at the last minute, I got it. We were just happy to be working. We weren’t thinking in terms of how long we were going to go.” “One day [producer] Peter Engel came on the stage and said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, Disney has chosen not to go on with the project. There’s a slight chance ABC will do something, but I just wanted to thank everybody.’ And then I started hearing things,” he recalled. “The prop guy came up to me and said, ‘Hey, Dennis. They just told us to save the sets.’ I found out that I was going on to Saved by the Bell because NBC had bought the rights to four characters, by the wardrobe guy telling me, ‘They told me to save your suits,’ and giving me a big thumbs up.”

Domino Kirke Breaks Her Silence on Penn Badgley's Intimate Scene Decision New

Domino Kirke Breaks Her Silence on Penn Badgley's Intimate Scene Decision

Penn Badgley’s wife, Domino Kirke, is clapping back at claims that she’s responsible for the actor cutting back on filming sex scenes. In an Instagram video shared Monday, September 28, Kirke, 42, said she continues “to get DMs about this thing that happened three years ago,” referring to an article about Badgley, 39, explaining his decision to abstain from intimate scenes. Kirke noted that with “the characters that my husband has played over the years, people have come to expect that he will continue to play that guy,” acknowledging Badgley’s risqué scenes in You and Gossip Girl. “I was super happy for him and very proud of him because I understood how major it was,” said Kirke, a professional doula. “And yeah, it's just relational hygiene.” However, that hasn’t stopped people from flooding Kirke’s DMs, prompting a more direct response. “I want to say to those of you who still DM me about my husband deciding to do this for himself and his mental health, like, get over it,” she said. Kirke captioned the post, “A few years ago, the internet decided I’d asked my husband to stop doing sex scenes. The truth is, my husband decided to do this for his own mental health reason. After working in the industry since he was just 12 years old, believe me, it was time.” Kirke noted similarities between her work as a caregiver and her husband’s work as an entertainer. “Caregivers are so ready to be invisible, collapse, disappear, or take direction no matter what. They’re constantly allowing folks to blaze past their boundaries, all in the spirit of being accommodating or, in my husband’s case, entertaining,” she wrote. “They’re OK with being forgettable. Sometimes I ask people what their doula's name was, and they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t remember!’ So finally, after years of trying, Penn decided to take a stand and let the world see him. And guess what … he hasn’t lost fans and he’s still getting hired!” Back in 2023, Badgley revealed that he requested fewer steamy scenes for his You character, Joe Goldberg, in the Netflix drama’s fourth season. “I asked [the creator of the show] Sera Gamble, ‘Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?'” the actor said on an episode of his “Podcrushed” podcast. “Fidelity in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is really important to me.” “I said to Sera, ‘My desire would be zero, to go from 100 to zero,’” he explained at the time. “But I signed this contract, I signed up for this show, I know what I did. You can’t take this aspect out of the DNA of the concept, so, ‘How much less can you make it?’ was my question for them.” According to Badgley, Gamble "didn't even bat an eye. She was really glad that I was that honest, and she had a really positive response. She appreciated my directness, and she appreciated that I was being reasonable and practical. And they came back with a phenomenal reduction.” However, for the show’s fifth and final season, which aired in 2025, Badgley said he understood the need for more physically intimate scenes with his costars. “I had to throw that out the window,” he told People in April 2025. “And as I always said, ‘My desire is that least as possible, but if it’s necessary, that’s the show we all signed up to make. So, let’s make sure it’s vital, let’s make sure it’s important, it’s deliberate.’ And we did.”

Why Your Blood Type Could Be Affecting More Than You Think New

Why Your Blood Type Could Be Affecting More Than You Think

See more of our coverage in your search results. Most people don’t spare a thought for their blood type unless they’re in need of a transfusion — but could yours hold secrets to your health?And is one better than the others?There are four main blood types: A, B, AB and O. Seventyfour – stock.adobe.comThe short answer: No, there is no “best” blood type. But each of the four main categories — A, B, AB and O — have their own advantages and disadvantages.Type AType A blood, found in about 36% of Americans, may make you less susceptible to norovirus, nicknamed the “winter vomiting disease.”It can also make you less attractive to mosquitoes. But there are some downsides, too. Type A blood is linked to higher levels of “bad” cholesterol, which can increase the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.People with this group are also more likely to experience an early-onset ischemic stroke, caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain, and might have a harder time fighting COVID-19.Studies have found that people with type A are also at higher risk for gastric and pancreatic cancers.Further research shows that those with type A blood tend to have more cortisol, making them more prone to stress.According to the AHA, people with O blood types have the lowest risk for heart attacks and blood clots in the legs and lungs. New Africa – stock.adobe.comType BOn the upswing, people with type B blood are at lower risk of developing kidney stones and are less likely to be bitten by ticks — a major perk if you’re outdoorsy.Research also indicates that type B blood may serve as a natural defense against pathogens such as smallpox and malaria.Another blood boon? Type B blood has a significantly lower overall risk of stomach and bladder cancer, and it makes bodies less hospitable to Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria primarily responsible for stomach ulcers.However, it’s not straight As for type B.Studies suggest those with type B blood may be more susceptible to certain infections like tuberculosis and cholera, and the blood type is also linked to an increased risk of heart disease and pancreatic cancer.There’s also a higher prevalence of Type 2 diabetes and hypertension in type B people, though the relationship is still being investigated.Type ABNeed a blood transfusion? You’re in luck if you’re type AB+: As the universal recipient, you can safely take any type of blood. To add to its bloody benefits, AB blood is known as “liquid gold” in trauma centers because it is the universal donor for plasma, which is commonly given to trauma, burn and shock patients to help boost blood volume.On the other hand, type AB blood is linked to inflammation, which may adversely affect blood vessels.According to research, people with type O may be less likely to contract COVID-19 or experience severe symptoms. sebgross – stock.adobe.comAccording to the American Heart Association, A, B and AB blood types are associated with a greater risk of dangerous blood clotting and heart attack due to coronary artery disease than type O blood. Those with AB blood appear to have the highest risk.AB blood types are also at a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer. In terms of cognitive function, a 2014 study published in Neurology found that people with type AB blood were 82% more likely to develop memory and thinking problems that lead to dementia than other blood types. Experts believe this heightened risk is linked to higher levels of Factor VIII, a clotting protein.Type OO is the most common blood type in the United States — and O- is the universal donor, meaning this blood can be transfused to anyone.According to the AHA, people with type O blood have the lowest risk for heart attacks and blood clots in the legs and lungs.Researchers have found that people with blood type O had a 12% lower risk of suffering a stroke compared to other blood types.People with this blood type may also be less likely to contract COVID-19 or experience severe symptoms, since those with type O blood generally have fewer clotting problems, which are linked to the severity of COVID-19.The bad (blood) news: People with type O blood are believed to be more susceptible to the norovirus. They also have a higher rate of peptic ulcers and may be more prone to excessive bleeding after injury or surgery. There are some fertility troubles, too. Studies suggest that O-type women may struggle to conceive due to a lower egg count and poorer egg quality, and they are more likely to experience pregnancy-induced hypertension and run a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

Taylor Lautner and Wife Welcome Baby Lenny: Fans React to Sweet Announcement New

Taylor Lautner and Wife Welcome Baby Lenny: Fans React to Sweet Announcement

Taylor Lautner and wife Tay Lautner are officially parents after welcoming their first baby girl. "One week loving our sweet little Lenny��," the couple wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, September 23, alongside the first photo of their newborn. "Lennon Taylor Lautner�� 9.16.2026." Taylor, 34, and Tay, 29, announced in March that they were expanding their family. “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?��,” they captioned a joint Instagram post featuring photos of the couple posing in a field of flowers while wearing white outfits and holding ultrasound scans. Taylor and Tay began dating in late 2017 after being introduced by his sister, Makena Moore. The pair tied the knot in November 2022. “Tay always told me she didn’t want anything big or elaborate; she preferred something intimate,” Taylor told Vogue of his marriage proposal. “One night, she suggested I just do it in the kitchen over dinner and a glass of wine. So I ended up doing it in the kitchen, but I did it big in the kitchen.” Two years before the pregnancy announcement, Tay opened up to Us exclusively about their hesitations over starting a family. “Sometimes we get a little nervous. How do we raise kids [who] are going to be able to speak up for themselves or feel like they can talk to us about this? It scares me,” the registered nurse said. “How do you raise a child now? I’m very thankful for people like Dr. [Daniel] Amen and a lot of my friends have kids or are just having kids. Getting to watch them walk through it and having the support from people like Dr. Amen to help facilitate independence or whatever it may be is great.” However, Tay knew she eventually wanted to have children with Taylor. “Definitely [at] some time at some point, there will be [kids],” she added. “He’s a gem. He’s my golden retriever — that’s what I call him. He’s just joy on Earth.” Taylor previously expressed interest in becoming a father during a 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “Yes, I absolutely love kids, I love family,” he said at the time. “So, one day, I very much look forward to that.” The couple also teased their family plans in a joint interview with Cosmopolitan in January. “Nobody puts more pressure on it than Tay’s parents,” Taylor said, while his wife added, “We haven’t tried having children. We don’t know if it’s going to be a struggle, so there’s no negative connotation around it.” Taylor continued, “I’m ready when she is. I think we’re getting closer.” Tay also said she and Taylor were in no rush to take the next step in their marriage. “Being an only child, I grew up wanting to be married and have kids young. But when I met Taylor, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not actually in a rush to get engaged or get married,’” she explained. “When you’re with the right person, there isn’t any pressure. It’s the same thing with kids. I’m really just loving life so much now. I’ve found this love for my career, which I think is so special. Not to say you can’t do both. The two of us can pick up and go whenever we want — I’m trying to get Taylor to do a couple of months in New York. You’ve said no, but I’m not going to let it die. Maybe we go to New York, and then I’ll give you a baby.”

The Surprising Twist Behind the $5 Big Lobster Tales

A seafood restaurant had a sign in the window that read, “Big Lobster Tales, $5 each.”Amazed at the great value, a man stopped in and asked the waitress, “Five dollars each for lobster tails. Is that correct?”“Yes,” she said. “It’s our special just for today.”“Well,” he said, “They must be little lobster tails.”“No,” she replied, “It’s the really big lobster.”“Big red lobster tails, $5 each”? he said, amazed. “They must be old lobster tails!”“No, they’re definitely today’s.”“Today’s big red lobster tails, $5 each?” he repeated, astounded.“Yes,” she insisted.“Well, here’s my five dollars,” he said. “I’ll take one.”She took the money and led him to a table where she invited him to sit down. She then sat down next to him, put her hand on his shoulder, leaned over close to him and said, “Once upon a time, there was a really big, red lobster…”================================A fisherman carrying a lobster bumped into a friend on the way home.“Where are you going with the lobster under your arm?” asked his friend.The fisherman answered, “I’m taking him home to dinner.”Just then the lobster spoke up, “I’ve already had my dinner, can we go to a movie instead?”================================A man goes into a restaurant and is seated.All the waitresses are gorgeous. A particularly beautiful waitress came to his table. “What would you like, sir?”He looks at the menu and then looks at her, then answers, “A quickie.” The waitress turns and walks away in disgust.After she regains her composure she returns and asks again, “What would you like, sir?”Again the man looks at her and answers, “A quickie, please.” This time her anger takes over, she reaches over and slaps him across the face with a resounding “SMACK!” and storms away.A man sitting at the next table leans over and whispers… “Um, I think it’s pronounced ‘Quiche.'”================================A group of 40-year-old mates discussed where they should meet for dinner.Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waitresses there had low cut blouses and were very young.10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner.
