His heartbroken son confirmed that Stevenson died of natural causes on January 19 in Camarillo, California. Will & Grace became such a popular sitcom for a combination of sharp writing, groundbreaking representation, and unforgettable characters.

  The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s Los Angeles mansion has responded after the singer referenced “stolen land” during her Grammy acceptance speech. Some praised her Eilish, 24, accepted the award for Song of the Year for Wildflower on February 1, and used her moment on stage to speak out about immigration and ICE. Standing alongside her brother and co-writer, Finneas, she declared: ”As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land.” She also added: “And f**k ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say, sorry!” The comments, referencing the history of European colonization in North America, sparked a wave of reactions. Some praised her, while others questioned her stance, especially considering her $3 million Los Angeles mansion sits on the ancestral land of the Tongva people. In response, a spokesperson for the Tongva tribe told The Daily Mail: “We appreciate the opportunity to provide clarity reg...

  From a routine Saturday evening to a mysterious early-morning gap and a later arrest, investigators say a narrow timeline may hold the key to understanding what happened to this beloved grandmother. Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen last weekend at her Tucson home before a series of unexplained digital failures and physical findings raised alarm. Authorities have since pieced together a minute-by-minute breakdown of the case as it shifted from a missing-person search to a full-on criminal investigation. Here's what happened. Saturday, January 31 - The Night Before She Vanished At 5:32 p.m., Nancy went to a local family's house. Authorities confirmed that her other daughter, Annie Guthrie, was the last person to see her alive. That final interaction, however, did not raise immediate alarm bells. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that Annie reported no unusual behavior from her mother during their last encounter. There were, he s...

  The beloved Hollywood icon reached a staggering milestone away from flashing cameras and red carpets, opting instead for a hushed, intimate moment as time, illness, and legacy quietly converged behind closed doors. The legendary actor, whose face once defined an era of American television, marked his 90th birthday not with fanfare or public tributes, but with family, reflection, and a simple slice of rum cake — a choice that spoke volumes as he continues his long, deeply personal battle with Parkinson's disease. A Quiet Birthday Marked by Love, Not Spotlight On January 29, 2026, the star's grandchild, Jake Alda Coffee, offered a rare glimpse into the private celebration, sharing a brief update on X that revealed just how moved his grandfather had been. He said the actor was "really touched by all the love he's gotten today" following the low-key birthday gathering, which unfolded at home and ended, fittingly, with rum cake. The subdued celebration stood in stark...

  A former New York Police Department hostage negotiator has come forward with a chilling theory about what may have happened to Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, and it paints a disturbing picture. Wallace Zeins, who spent years negotiating high-stakes abductions for the NYPD, believes that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was likely taken by more than one person from her Tucson, Arizona home late Sunday night. Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, February 3, Zeins said Nancy’s physical condition alone makes a solo abduction highly unlikely. “She is 150 pounds, 5 feet 5, waking up in the middle of the night, not in the best health, cannot walk or run, so I would think there is more than one person involved in this particular crime,” Zeins told CNN. What investigators know so far Nancy was last seen Saturday evening, January 31, when she had dinner with Savannah’s sister, Annie. Annie dropped her off at home around 9:30 p.m. By Sunday morning, concern began to grow. Nancy failed to atten...

 Ten years after I adopted my late girlfriend's daughter, she stopped me while I was preparing Thanksgiving dinner, shaking like she'd seen a ghost. Then she whispered the words that cracked the world under my feet: "Dad… I'm going to my real father. He promised me something." Ten years ago, I made a promise to a dying woman, and, frankly, it's the thing that's mattered most in my life. Her name was Laura, and we fell for each other fast. She had a little girl, Grace, who had a shy laugh that melted me into a puddle. Grace's bio dad had vanished the second he heard the word "pregnant." No calls, no child support, not even a lame email asking for a photo. I made a promise to a dying woman. I stepped into the space he left vacant. I built Grace a slightly lopsided treehouse in the backyard, taught her to ride her bike, and even learned to braid her hair. She started calling me her "forever dad." I'm a simple guy who owns a shoe re...
