Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Share Intimate Wedding Details in New Interview amid Family Drama

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Share Intimate Wedding Details in New Interview amid Family Drama

The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham shared intimate details of their 2022 wedding in a new interview withGlamour The couple revealed their "favorite moments" and the nerves they felt exchanging vows The interview comes amid reports of ongoing drama within the extended Beckham family Brooklyn Peltz BeckhamandNicola Peltz Beckhamare sharing intimate details surrounding their 2022 wedding. In a cover interview forGlamourpublished on Monday, June 2, the couple reminisced about thePalm Beach nuptials. When sharing advice to couples planning a wedding, Peltz, 30, recommended taking a moment "just for the two of you." "Those were my favorite moments," she recalled of her own big day. "Weddings can be intense, especially when you're busy making sure everyone else is having fun. That little break reminded us what it's really about: us." Brooklyn, 26, agreed, adding, "We took a quick drive, just the two of us. It was perfect." Exchanging vows was a nerve-wracking experience for both of them. "Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying," Peltz said. "Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded. When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My makeup! And when I walked down the aisle, [UK artist] Sekou was singing 'Songbird' live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it." The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Brooklyn said that he's "usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck.""Nicola kept me waiting for 10 minutes, and it felt like forever," he recalled. "But when I saw her, everything else disappeared." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! © The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany The couple also revealed details about Brooklyn's surprise proposal to Nicola. "I honestly had no idea — I would've worn a different outfit!" the actress shared. "Brooklyn planned everything in secret. After the proposal, [my family] drove up in golf carts. I cried so hard my face was swollen. I couldn't even take a proper photo. I only really looked at the ring later." "A few hours earlier, I'd gotten into a golf cart accident and had to get stitches in my hand," Brooklyn said. "My thumb was wrapped. I couldn't even open the wine!" Right before their rehearsal dinner, Nicola recalled, Brooklyn surprised her with a second ring. "And I had our vows tattooed on me," Brooklyn added. TheGlamourinterview comes amid reports of ongoing drama within the extended Beckham family. On May 29, a source close to the Peltz family told PEOPLE that tensions came to a head afterVictoria Beckhamallegedly hijacked a dance at her son's 2022 wedding — even though the couple had been planning on dancing to the song together. The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany "Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," the source explained. "Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up ... Victoria Beckham!'" The source claimed that the new bride allegedly "felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn't understand why." The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Reps for Victoria andDavid Beckhamand Anthony did not return PEOPLE's request for comment.A second source added that the entire room fell silent, as guests were so shocked that Anthony called Victoria's name instead of Nicola's. "It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop," the second source continued. But a source who attended the wedding noted that the evening played out differently. For starters, the guest said, "Nicola and Brooklyn had their formal first dance early in the evening and she also had the traditional first dance with her father." At the time, theDaily Mailreported the couple had their first dance to "Only Fools Rush In," made famous by Elvis Presley and performed by a live singer at the reception. Their second dance, the outlet reported, was to the Ben E. King classic "Stand By Me."

Gareth Cattermole/Getty The source who attended the wedding further shared that Anthony's performance came much later in the evening: "Later on, when everyone was casual, Marc Anthony performed and got people dancing. Brooklyn and Victoria danced, David and Harper danced, and everyone had a great time." The report came just days after Brooklyn, 26, posted a mysterious message on Instagram stating that he'd"always choose"his wife. On May 30, Nicola made her owncryptic poston Instagram Stories, sharing text reading "I would choose my mom to be my mom in every lifetime. again, and again, and again." It also included a small red heart. On May 31,The Mail on Sundayreported that Brooklyn and Nicola areworking with British lawyer Jenny Afia, who works for the Schillings law firm. The couple's reps declined to comment, while a legal source told PEOPLE, "There is absolutely no connection to Meghan and Harry. Schillings is a respected firm with a wide range of clients." "Ironically, the inaccurate reporting proves exactly why one hires legal counsel, to set the record straight and combat the spread of deliberate misinformation," the source added.

Tomatoes sold in 3 states now labeled deadly by FDA

Tomatoes sold in 3 states now labeled deadly by FDA

Tomatoesdistributed in three southern statesare now the subject of a possibly deadly recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The recall, firstannounced by the FDA on May 2for potential salmonella contamination, has now been upgraded to the most severe warning the federal agency issues. Williams Farms Repack LLC, based in Lodge, South Carolina, said the affected tomatoes were packaged and sold to wholesalers and distributors between April 23-28 under the name H&C Farms Label, theFDAreported. In a notice published online May 28th, the FDA labeled this a Class I recall − the highest recall risk level issued by the agency, as it can potentially cause serious health complications or lead to death. According to the FDA, freezing and drying may prevent the growth of bacteria, but do not kill salmonella. The bacteria can live for several weeks in dry environments and for several months in wet environments. As of the recall date, no deaths or illnesses had been reported, the FDA said. The affected tomatoes were sold in the following three states: Georgia North Carolina South Carolina The following tomatoes were recalled with the size listed first and lot code listed last: 5x6; R4467 6x6; R4467 and R4470 Combo, 25 pound; R4467 4x4, 2-layer; R4467 4x5, 2-layer; R4467 60-count, 2-layer; R4467 60-count, 18 pounds loose; R4467, R4470 XL, 18 pounds loose; R4467 3 count trays; R4467 Salmonellais an organism which can cause serious and fatal infections in children, the elderly, and other people with weakened immune systems, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. Most people infected with salmonella start developing symptoms 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated product. Diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps are the main symptoms. Most people recover without treatment, but in rare circumstances the infection can require hospitalization, according to the CDC. Pregnant women are also at higher risk of developing an infection from it and should seek medical attention if symptoms arise. Salmonella on rise:More states report illnesses, hospitalizations in salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers The FDA is urging anyone who bought the recalled tomatoes not to eat them and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund, or they can just discard the affected item. Consumers who ate the affected tomatoes and have symptoms should contact their health care provider to report their symptoms, the FDA said, and receive care. Consumers with questions may call 843-866-7707. Contributing: Jonathan Limehouse Natalie Neysa Alund is a senior reporter for USA TODAY.

ICE arrest of high school student sends shockwaves through a Massachusetts town

ICE arrest of high school student sends shockwaves through a Massachusetts town

Anathlete, a musician, anexceptional high school student with an infectious smile. This is how community members in Milford, Massachusetts, described Marcelo Gomes Da Silva, an 18-year-old high school junior who was arrested by immigration authorities and sent to a detention center this weekend. Gomes Da Silva was driving his father's car on his way to volleyball practice with some of his teammates Saturday morning when immigration authorities stopped him. Immigration authorities made the traffic stop because they were looking for Gomes Da Silva's father, who is unlawfully present in the country, according to Todd Lyons, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After learning Gomes Da Silva was also unlawfully present in the U.S., ICE officers took him into custody, Lyons said Monday at a news conference. Gomes Da Silva was born in Brazil but has attended Milford Public Schools since he was 6 years old, friends said. Though "he was not the target of the investigation," he was arrested during a monthlong immigration enforcement operation in Massachusetts that has resulted in thearrests of nearly 1,500 immigrants, Boston's ICE Field Officer Patricia H. Hyde said at the news conference. "When we go out into the community and we find others who are unlawfully here, we are going to arrest them," Hyde said. "We've been completely transparent with that." Hyde said Gomes Da Silva remains in ICE custody as of Monday morning. In addition to Gomes Da Silva, a number of parents and school community members have been detained by ICE in recent weeks, according to Kevin McIntyre, superintendent of Milford Public Schools. "We are all distraught by this news," McIntyretold NBC Boston in a statement, adding that Milford Public Schools plays no part in immigration enforcement and supports all students and their families, including those who are immigrants. "They are members of the community, students in our classrooms, athletes that compete representing Milford, musicians, artists, friends and neighbors," the superintendent continued. "We will do everything in our power to support our students and families during these difficult times." A teammate of Gomes Da Silva who was in the car when they were pulled over by four vehicles and witnessed the ICE arrest Saturday texted their high school volleyball coach at around 8:30 a.m. "I was sitting there thinking, 'This can't be happening,'"Andrew Mainini, the volleyball coach, told NBC Boston. "It's one thing to see things happening in the world. It's another to have them directly impact the people you work with and care for on a daily basis." Gomes Da Silva was supposed to play the drums at his girlfriend's high school graduation on Sunday. His absence was palpable during Milford High School's commencement as his bandmates performed without him, sparking a post-graduation protest demanding his release. Hundreds of students still in their graduation gowns, teachers, relatives and other community members marched a mile to Milford Town Hall following the commencement ceremony — holding signs and chanting "Free Marcelo." Julianys Rentas Figueroa, Gomes Da Silva's girlfriend, said she spoke with him on the phone after he was detained Saturday. He told her immigration authorities "put chains around his ankles, on his wrists," Rentas Figueroa, still in her red graduation gown, told NBC Boston Sunday. "I haven't spoken to him since then. I don't know how he's doing." "I don't understand why Marcelo was targeted. He's been in Milford all his life," Rentas Figueroa said. Rentas Figueroa said Gomes Da Silva was transferred into two different holding facilities in Massachusetts over the weekend. Diego Low, director of Metrowest Worker Center, an immigration advocacy group in Massachusetts, told NBC News that cousins of Gomes Da Silva had contacted the center after his detention. "We are trying to support him," Low said, adding that immigration attorneys are interceding on the family's behalf to prevent Gomes Da Silva from being transferred to a detention center in another state. Ana Julia Araujo, Gomes Da Silva's cousin, said the 18-year-old's younger siblings are questioningif they will ever him again. Milford police said it was not involved, claiming ICE did not notify the department of the arrest. "Marcelo is somebody that we don't know. So, what does that tell you? If I don't know you, if my officers don't know you, there's a reason we don't know you. It's because you're probably not a troublemaker,"Chief Robert Tusino told NBC Boston. Gov. Maura Healey said in a statementover the weekend that she is "disturbed and outraged" by Gomes Da Silva's detention, adding that arrests like these are "making us all less safe." During Sunday's protest, a friend of Gomes Da Silva who participated in the march told NBC Boston, "I am disgusted that I have to deal with this on graduation and see one of my greatest friends be taken away for no reason." "I just pray that we can make a difference because this is so depressing,"the girl, who was not named, said in tears.

Supreme Court leaves in place state bans on some semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity gun magazines

Supreme Court leaves in place state bans on some semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity gun magazines

The Supreme CourtdeclinedMonday to hear arguments in a pair of significant Second Amendment challenges involving certain semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, a move that leaves both of those laws in place. One of the appeals dealt with Maryland's ban on certain semi-automatic weapons such as AR- and AK-style rifles. The law, enacted after the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, was challenged by David Snope, a state resident who wants to purchase those rifles for self-defense and other purposes. The Supreme Court also declined to hear a challenge to Rhode Island's ban on high-capacity gun magazines, leaving that law in place. As is typical, the court did not explain its reasoning in denying the cases, though it has denied several high profile gun appeals over the past year. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented from the court's decision not to hear the pair of cases. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, another member of the court's conservative wing, noted that other cases involving AR-style rifles are pending in lower courts and said that "this court should and presumably will address the AR–15 issue soon." The 2022 Rhode Island law prohibits the possession of large-capacity feeding devices or magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It requires owners of such devices to either modify them to fit the 10-round limit, sell them to a firearms dealer, remove them from Rhode Island or hand them over to law enforcement. The law required such action to be taken within 180 days of its passage, after which time violators faced up to five years in prison. Meanwhile, in the Maryland case involving semi-automatic rifles, the Richmond-based federal appeals court upheld Maryland's law over the summer, finding that the guns at issue are "dangerous and unusual weapons" and therefore are not covered by the Second Amendment's protections. The majority also concluded that there were historical analogues to the Maryland statute that were adopted by state legislatures across the country in the 19th and 20th century. US Circuit Judge Harvie Wilkinson, who was named to the bench by President Ronald Reagan, wrote for the court that "we decline to wield the Constitution to declare that military-style armaments which have become primary instruments of mass killing and terrorist attacks in the United States are beyond the reach of our nation's democratic processes." In dissent, US Circuit Judge Julius Richardson, a Trump nominee, wrote that the majority opinion "disregards the Founders' wisdom and replaces it with its own." Following the Supreme Court'sblockbuster 2022 decisionin New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which struck down a strict requirement in New York that residents show cause to obtain a carry permit, the justices have largely avoided major guns cases. In July, for instance, the court declined to take up a challenge to a similar ban onassault-style weapons in Illinois. The decisions have had the practical effect of leaving the gun prohibitions in place amid a fierce debate playing out in lower courts over exactly what the Supreme Court meant by requiring firearm laws to be "consistent with this nation's historical tradition." Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a federal law that prohibits Americans who are the subject of certain domestic abuse restraining orders from owning a weapon, despite the fact that no identical law existed at the time of the nation's founding. Thomas said in a solo dissent on Monday that the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals had erred in upholding the Maryland law. The prohibition, Thomas wrote, could not be squared with the 2022 decision in Bruen, which he authored, that said the nation's gun laws must have a connection to history to survive constitutional scrutiny. "It is difficult to see how Maryland's categorical prohibition on AR–15s passes muster under this framework," Thomas wrote in dissent. Two lower courts refused to block the Rhode Island law, with the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals saying in a ruling last March that the ban was a lawful response by state lawmakers to "a public safety concern." Attorneys for the law's challengers – several individual gun owners and a registered firearms dealer in the state – told the Supreme Court that the ban is not only a violation of the Second Amendment but that it also runs afoul of the Constitution's Takings Clause because it "forces citizens to dispossess themselves of their lawfully acquired property without any compensation from the state." They asked the court to take up the case to resolve the question of "whether and when the government may ban – and even confiscate from law-abiding citizens – common arms."

Marc Maron to end his 'WTF' podcast after 15 years of interviewing comics, actors, musicians, Obama

Marc Maron to end his 'WTF' podcast after 15 years of interviewing comics, actors, musicians, Obama

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comic and actorMarc Maronsaid Monday that he's ending his popular and influential podcast "WTF with Marc Maron" after nearly 16 years. Maron said on a newly released episode that the last of the nearly 2,000 episodes he has hosted will be released later this year. "Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run," Maron said. "Now, basically, it's time, folks. It's time. 'WTF' is coming to an end. It's our decision. We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall." The 61-year-old Maron said he and producing partner Brendan McDonald are "tired" and "burnt out" but "utterly satisfied with the work we've done." Maron was a veteran stand-up comic who had dabbled in radio when he started the show in 2009, at a time when stand-ups were trying out the form in big numbers, and many listeners still downloaded episodes on to iPods. The show early on was often about Maron talking through his beefs with fellow comedians, but it soon stood out and became a widely heard and medium-defining show with its thoughtful, probing longform interviews of cultural figures. It became a key stop on press tours for authors, actors and musicians and reached a peak when then-President Barack Obamavisited Maron's makeshift Los Angeles garage studio for an episode in 2015. Maron used a simple interview style to get guests to share stories they'd rarely told elsewhere. Seeking to know the biggest influences on their lives and careers, Maron would ask, "Who are your guys?" Other memorable episodes include a 2010 personal and emotional interview with Robin Williams that was re-posted and widely listened to after Williams' death in 2014. The episode earned a place in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. Maron kept doing standup specials and expanded his acting career while the show aired, including a three-season run on the Netflix series "GLOW." The show's guitar-rock theme song opened with a clip of Maron shouting, "Lock the gates!" in his role as a promoter in the film "Almost Famous." The solo episode openings became a confessional space for Maron where he talked about his life, relationships, years of doing stand-up comedy and struggles with drug addiction. Maron gave tearful tributeto his girlfriend,director Lynn Shelton, in the episode after her death in 2020. "People who listen to the podcast know me pretty well, and it's all good. They have a relationship with me that's one sided, but it's real and I try to be as gracious about that as possible," Maron told The Associated Press in 2019. "My particular little slice of the show business world is very me specific and it's very personal and usually that's a good thing. But I've had to learn how to balance how much of my life I reveal and what I keep to myself, and try to find a little space."
