J.Lo Balked at Bruno Mars’ $5 Million Wedding Fee, Says Planner

Celebrity event planner Marcy Blum has revealed that Jennifer Lopez considered Bruno Mars for her wedding to Alex Rodriguez before ultimately deciding against it due to his high performance fee.   Blum shared the anecdote on "The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast," explaining that while working with Lopez and Rodriguez before their breakup, Lopez inquired about booking Bruno Mars. Blum informed her that she had recently worked with Mars at another wedding, where he received $5 million for a 45-minute to one-hour performance. Lopez reportedly dismissed the price as "ridiculous." Blum noted that she was able to share this story because she never signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the former couple.   Lopez and Rodriguez began dating in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. Their planned 2020 wedding in Italy was postponed due to the pandemic. They eventually […]

This Tiny Probe Just Survived a Dance with Death at 430,000 MPH

NASA confirmed that Parker Solar Probe has completed its closest-ever approach to the Sun on Friday. The spacecraft maintained normal operations while passing within 3.8 million miles of the Sun's surface and entering its corona on December 24. The probe, launched in 2018, relies on Venus's gravity to gradually decrease its distance from the Sun. During this historic pass, it encountered temperatures reaching 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit while traveling at 430,000 miles per hour. The operations team at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland received a "beacon tone" signal just before midnight Thursday, confirming the probe's successful passage. Complete telemetry data from the encounter is expected by January 1. The mission aims to enhance scientific understanding of solar phenomena. By taking measurements in the Sun's outer atmosphere, researchers hope to explain how this region reaches millions of degrees, understand the […]

Mystery Drone Vanishes After 5-Minute Flight Over Romanian Border

Romania's military radar detected an unidentified small flying object, believed to be a drone, entering its airspace on Thursday evening in Tulcea County, located in the country's southeast region, approximately 6 kilometers from the border. The object was first spotted on radar at 7:04 PM GMT, roughly 15 kilometers east of the border village Chilia Veche. Military officials issued shelter warnings to residents and prepared fighter aircraft for deployment. The radar signal disappeared at 7:09 PM GMT, with authorities reporting no evidence of impact within Romanian territory. Romania, which shares a 650-kilometer border with Ukraine, has previously documented incidents involving Russian drone debris landing within its borders during Moscow's attacks on Ukrainian ports. Similar radar detections occurred in October over multiple days, though fighter jets failed to establish visual contact. Defense officials at the time suggested possible cyber interference as […]

REVEALED: The Shocking Truth Behind the Azerbaijan Airlines Disaster That Killed 38

The crash of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight J2-8243 that killed 38 people in Kazakhstan is under investigation, with sources suggesting the potential involvement of Russian air defense systems. On Thursday, four sources familiar with Azerbaijan's investigation shared these preliminary findings with Reuters. The Embraer passenger aircraft crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, on Wednesday after deviating from its planned route over southern Russia. The flight departed from Baku, Azerbaijan, heading for Grozny, Chechnya, but veered significantly off course across the Caspian Sea before the incident. Russia's aviation authority suggested an emergency, possibly involving a bird strike, caused the crash. However, they did not explain the aircraft's substantial route deviation. Notably, Makhachkala airport, which lay along the original flight path, was closed Wednesday morning. According to Azerbaijani sources, preliminary findings indicate the aircraft may have been struck by a Pantsir-S air defense system, with […]

$2 Tip Fury’: Delivery Driver Allegedly Attacks Pregnant Customer in Florida Motel Horror

A 22-year-old pizza delivery driver has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a customer 14 times at a Kissimmee, Florida, motel following a dispute over a $2 tip, according to police documents. Brianna Alvelo faces multiple charges, including home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. The incident occurred after she delivered a $33 Marco's pizza order to a motel room where a woman was staying with her boyfriend and 5-year-old daughter for a birthday celebration.

Approximately an hour and a half later, two masked individuals in black clothing—allegedly Alvelo and an unidentified male accomplice—forced their way into the motel room. The affidavit states the male suspect, armed with a silver revolver, ordered the boyfriend […]

Another Critical Power Link Goes Dark Amid Regional Infrastructure Concerns

A major undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia has experienced an outage, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo announced Wednesday, initiating an investigation into the cause. The Estlink-2 cable's power transmission interruption was confirmed by Orpo on social media platform X, where he assured that Finland's electricity supply would remain stable despite the disruption. Estonian network operator Elering reported through public broadcaster ERR that Estonia's power demands could be met through alternative capacity sources, minimizing the impact on the country's electricity supply. This incident occurs amid heightened regional concern over Baltic Sea infrastructure security. In November, two separate undersea data cables were damaged—one connecting Finland to Germany and another linking Lithuania with Sweden. Germany's defense minister addressed the November incidents in a speech about hybrid warfare threats from Russia, suggesting "sabotage" as a likely cause, though no evidence was presented […]

From Village Boy to Economic Revolutionary: The Indian PM Who Transformed a Nation’s Future

Manmohan Singh, who served as India's Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014 and was widely recognized as the architect of India's economic liberalization, has died at age 92 in Delhi. Born in 1932 in a remote Punjab village without basic amenities, Singh rose from humble beginnings to earn degrees from Cambridge and Oxford. His academic excellence led to a distinguished career as an economist, serving as India's central bank governor before entering politics. Singh's pivotal moment came in 1991 when, as finance minister, he spearheaded unprecedented economic reforms during India's financial crisis. He liberalized the economy by reducing taxes, devaluing the rupee, privatizing state companies, and opening doors to foreign investment. These measures helped revive India's economy and maintain strong growth throughout the 1990s. In 2004, Singh became India's first Sikh Prime Minister when Congress party president Sonia Gandhi declined […]

Yemen Reports Airstrikes on Multiple Cities Amid Regional Tensions

Military installations in Yemen have been targeted by airstrikes, according to local reports. Witnesses and the governing Houthi rebels reported attacks on an airport and the army base in the capital Sanaa, while a power station in the western port city of Hudaydah was also struck, AFP news agency reported. Houthi-controlled television attributed the strikes to Israel, though Israeli authorities have not responded to these claims. Initial reports did not specify casualty numbers. The strikes follow recent statements by Israel's defence minister warning of plans to "strike hard" at the Houthis and "decapitate" their leadership. The Houthis, an Iran-backed armed political and religious group controlling much of western Yemen since 2015, have been launching attacks against Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023. The conflict began after Hamas attacked Israel, which received public support from the […]
