Prince William Hints at Major Shake-Ups When He Becomes KingNew Foto - Prince William Hints at Major Shake-Ups When He Becomes King

Courtesy of Apple Prince William says there will be changes in stores once he takes the throne The comment comes during his conversation with Eugene Levy in the Apple TV+ seriesThe Reluctant Traveler "I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good," the royal says Prince Williamis thinking ahead to what kind of leader he'd like to be when he accedes to the throne. In the third season of Eugene Levy's Apple TV+ seriesThe Reluctant Traveler, the Prince of Wales, 43, speaks at length with the actor, reflecting on the changes he's planning to implement during his reign. In the episode titled "Living the Royal Life in the U.K.," the pair delves into a deeper conversation after their introduction at Windsor Castle, during which Prince William jokes, "I heard you were in town, so I thought why not get you over here. I was a big fan of your earlier films, Eugene, all theAmerican Pies." Levy recalls that his family was perhaps the first on their block to have a television set, which allowed him to watch the coronation of Prince William's grandmotherQueen Elizabeth, who died in 2022. Her eldest son and William's father,King Charles, then acceded to the throne. Courtesy of Apple "You will one day be King of England. Do you think about that at all?" Levy asks. "It's not something I wake up in the morning and think about, because to me, being authentic and being myself and being genuine is what drives me," William answers. "And then you can attach whatever labels and kind of roles that come on top of that, but if I'm not true to myself, and I'm not true to what I stand for and believe in - then it doesn't really matter who you are, it gets lost," William continues. "I take my roles and my responsibilities seriously, but it's important, like I said to you earlier, you don't feel they own you - you have to own them." Levy also inquires whether the monarchy would shift in a "slightly different direction" under Prince William's leadership. "I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good. And I embrace that and I enjoy that change — I don't fear it," William says. "That's the bit that excites me — is the idea of being able to bring some change. Not overly radical change, but changes that I think that need to happen." Earlier in their conversation, the duo reflects on the legacy of Windsor itself. "Ever get overwhelmed, just by the sheer history of the place?" Levy asks. "When you say it like that, it sounds like I should say yes!" William responds as they both laugh. "But no, I wouldn't say history overwhelms me. Other things overwhelm me, but not history, no. Because I think if you're not careful, history can be a real weight and an anchor around you, and you can feel suffocated by it, and restricted by it too much," William continues. Ian Gavan/Apple TV+ While history may not feel daunting to the Prince of Wales, he opens up about what does weigh on him. "Stuff to do with family overwhelms me, quite a bit," William says. "You know, worry or stress around the family side of things that does overwhelm me quite a bit. But in terms of, you know, doing the job and things like that, I don't feel too overwhelmed by that."

Christina Haack says ex Tarek El Moussa called HGTV on her behalf to get Josh Hall removed from "The Flip Off"

Phillip Faraone/Getty; Lila Seeley/Getty; Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic After Christina Haack broke up with Josh Hall, her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa called HGTV and their attorney to notify them that Hall would "no longer" be part of their home renovation series,The Flip Off. Producers agreed to El Moussa's request and had him and Haack film a segment where she explained that Hall wouldn't be part of the show moving forward. Haack and El Moussa were together from 2009 to 2016 and share two children. She later married Hall in 2021, before the pair went their separate ways in 2024. Christina Haack says her first husbandTarek El Moussawas instrumental in helping to get her estranged third husband, Josh Hall, removed from their home renovation series. The HGTV star, 42, toldPEOPLEthat El Moussa personally called both their shared attorney and the network to notify them that Hall would "no longer" be part of their seriesThe Flip Offafter their split. Haack and Hall, whomarried in 2021, were filmedengaging in several heated conversationswhile on the show and ultimatelyfiled for divorce in July 2024. After Haack and Hall had their final fight, she told the outlet that El Moussa stepped in and "told our attorney and told the network for me that Josh would no longer be a part of the show." Christina Haack/Instagram Everyone was all on board with the plan. "They said 'No problem. That's fine,'" she recalled. "They just said, 'We need Christina to have a scene where she tells you, Tarek, that Josh is no longer going to be a part of the show.'" The Flip Offwas originally set to be a competition series that would see Haack and Hall go up against El Moussa and his second wife Heather Rae El Moussa in a house-flipping competition. However, after their breakup, the series instead featured Haack going up against the El Moussas by herself. Haack said that she and El Moussa filmed the sequence in which they discussed Hall's ongoing involvement in the show roughly a week later. "[The producers] didn't tell me anything. They just said, 'Tarek's coming over. We want you to tell him that you and Josh broke up,'" she said. "But for me, [the scene] was never really about Josh. It was more about me and Tarek and everything that's happened since then." During their conversation, Haack and El Moussa came together and forgave each other "100%" for all of their past mistakes. "I think that scene lasted probably an hour and a half in reality and everyone was crying: the camera operators, the production crew. It was emotional," she said. "Through the years we have obviously had talks, and we've apologized to each other, but not on camera and not like that. I don't think he expected me to go there."

He's a hard worker. He's a great dad. He's come a long way in our relationship," she added. "Both of us have a lot of gratitude and both of us have a lot of respect for each other."

Jane Fonda says Democratic leaders are 'not good enough' under Trump administration: 'We all should be very scared'New Foto - Jane Fonda says Democratic leaders are 'not good enough' under Trump administration: 'We all should be very scared'

Arnold Jerocki/Getty; Kevin Dietsch/Getty Jane Fonda opined that Democratic politicians are "not good enough" under the Trump administration. TheKluteactress added, "I don't feel that our leaders are doing what they need to do." Fonda relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, an anti-McCarthyism group promoting free speech, on Wednesday. Jane Fondais fighting to protect the First Amendment duringDonald Trump's second term — and says that Democratic leaders aren't doing enough to resist the current regime. On Wednesday, theKluteactressrelaunchedtheCommittee for the First Amendment, a group (including her father, Henry Fonda) originally created in 1947 to oppose the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era. Jesse Grant/Variety via Getty Fonda explained why she revived the committee during an appearance on CNN on Wednesday, and expressed her disappointment with contemporary liberal politicians in 2025. When asked how Democratic lawmakers are acting amid the second Trump administration, Fonda responded, "Not good enough." The actress added, "I also have a climate PAC that elects people all over the country, because I don't feel that our leaders are doing what they need to do. If you can't change the people, change the people. That's what we're doing." Fonda explained that the committee's M.O. will share an acronym with CNN: "We're going to engage in creative, non-violent non-cooperation." TheGrace and Frankiestar opined that the United States is facing a "very chilling time" under Trump. "We've faced attempts at autocracy before in the '20s and '30s," she said. "This is different, and we all should be very scared. And the key is solidarity. And so that's why I thought to resurrect the spirit of the committee that was started in the '50s and included my father within the entertainment industry. We want to work cross-sectorally with other people because obviously a lot of other people are affected by what's happening." Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Fonda went on to elaborate on the particular developments that alarm her. "No president has eversent troops into the Democratic citiesacross the country, full force," she said. "No president, as far as I know, has tried tocontrol the Federal Reserve, the central bank. He is amassing power in a way that will destroy our democracy. And so we're going to stand up." The9 to 5actress also said that the Committee for the First Amendment will dissuade entertainers from participating with repressive policies. "We don't want to be a pillar of support to this regime that's forming," she said. "Those in our industry who acquiesce to what's happening, they'll hear from us as well."

'Clear message': A majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies, poll findsNew Foto - 'Clear message': A majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies, poll finds

Most of President Donald Trump's supporters back keepingenhanced subsidiesfor Affordable Care Act plans, the central obstacle in ending the government shutdown, according toa new poll from the nonpartisan health policy research group KFF. It was conducted Sept. 23 through Sept. 29, just days before Congressfailed to pass a funding measureto keep the government open. More than 22 million peoplereceive the subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year unless Congress extends them. Losing the subsidies could mean that average out-of-pocket premium payments could double in 2026, from $888 a year to $1,904, anearlier KFF analysisfound. Around 4 million people are projected to go without coverage next year because they can no longer afford it, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Extending them would cost the federal governmentaround $350 billionover the next decade. The new survey found 59% of Republicans and 57% of "Make American Great Again" supporters favor extending the enhanced subsidies. The nationally representative sample of 1,334 adults were asked whether they support extending the subsidies, not whether they support including them in budget negotiations. Whether to include them is asticking point in the ongoing budget battle, with Democrats arguing they must be extended before open enrollment next month, when many enrollees will be shocked to find their premiums are increasing. Overall, more than three-quarters of the public — 78% — say they want Congress to extend them. That includes 92% of Democrats and 82% of independents. "We get a very clear message that the majority of the public, regardless of their partisanship, regardless of their insurance, support Congress extending these tax credits," said Ashley Kirzinger, the director of survey methodology and associate director of the public opinion and survey research program at KFF. "It's really hard to take a benefit away after it's been given to people." The enhanced subsidies were put into place under the 2021 American Rescue Plan, which made ACA plans affordable for many middle-class families. TheInflation Reduction Act of 2022extended them through 2025. Standard ACA subsidies for people with very low incomes are expected to continue — although their premiums are expected to rise too without the additional tax credit, and they also may be at risk of losing their coverage. According to the poll, about 4 in 10 people with an ACA plan say they would go without insurance if the amount they had to pay each month nearly doubled. Similar shares — 37% — said they would continue to pay for their current health plan, while 2 in 10 say they would get coverage from another source, like an employer. "That's going to result in a large number of individuals losing health coverage and becoming uninsured," Kirzinger said. "When people don't have health coverage, not being able to go to the doctor, not being able to get primary care, it can result in all kinds of detrimental health outcomes." Dr. Adam Gaffney, a critical care physician and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, said going without insurance can also devastate people's finances. "They accrue large bills, debt and even go bankrupt," he said. Some people who keep their insurance may also take a hit to their finances. When respondents were asked if they could afford coverage if their premiums nearly doubled, 7 in 10 who purchase their own insurance say they would not be able to afford the premiums without significantly cutting back on their household budgets. Despite the risk to peoples' health and finances, many Americans still don't know that the enhanced subsidies are set to end. Among people who buy their own coverage, about 6 in 10 said they've heard just "a little" or "nothing at all" about the subsidies' expiration. Art Caplan, the head of the medical ethics division at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said many will learn for the first time when open enrollment begins on Nov. 1. They're at real risk of "sticker shock," Caplan said. "And most of these people, who tend to be working-class folks, tend to be more MAGA. They won't like it." When people who support extending the subsidies were asked who deserves the most blame if they expire, 39% said President Donald Trump and 37% said Republicans in Congress. Just 22% said that Democrats would deserve the blame.

OpenAI asks court to dismiss trade-secret lawsuit from Musk's xAINew Foto - OpenAI asks court to dismiss trade-secret lawsuit from Musk's xAI

By Blake Brittain (Reuters) -OpenAIasked a federal judge on Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit alleging it lured employees away fromElon Musk'sartificial intelligencestartup xAI to steal its trade secrets, calling the case part of Musk's "ongoing harassment" of the company. OpenAI denied xAI's allegations and said its claims were false and unsubstantiated. "Under Musk's leadership, talented xAI employees are leaving in droves, and some are coming to OpenAI to help advance OpenAI's mission," the filing said. "Those employees have every right to go where they choose, and OpenAI has the right to hire them." Spokespeople and an attorney for xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the filings. A spokesperson for OpenAI declined to comment. xAI's lawsuit, filed last week in federal court in San Francisco, alleged that OpenAI engaged in a "deeply troubling pattern" of hiring away former xAI employees to gain access to trade secrets related to its AI chatbot Grok, which it said was more advanced than OpenAI's ChatGPT. The lawsuit is part of a broader legal battle between Musk and OpenAI, which he co-founded alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, amid a high-stakes race in Silicon Valley for talent and to gain market share in the burgeoning AI industry. xAI has separately suedApplefor allegedly conspiring with OpenAI to suppress rival platforms. Apple and OpenAI denied the allegations and asked the court to dismiss that case on Tuesday. Musk is also suing OpenAI over its conversion to a for-profit company, while OpenAI has countersued Musk for harassment. OpenAI on Thursday called xAI's trade-secret lawsuit an attempt to intimidate OpenAI and "distract from the failures of [Musk's] own competitive AI effort." "The truth is that xAI is hemorrhaging talent to other competitors, including OpenAI," OpenAI said. (Reporting by Blake Brittain in Washington; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Putin swipes back at Trump for calling Russia a 'paper tiger'New Foto - Putin swipes back at Trump for calling Russia a 'paper tiger'

By Vladimir Soldatkin SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin swiped back on Thursday at U.S.President Donald Trumpfor calling Russia a "paper tiger" and said Moscow would respond swiftly if it thinks Europe is provoking it. Trump, who had previously said Kyiv should give up land to make peace with Moscow, reversed his rhetoric sharply last week, saying he thought Ukraine could win back all territory from Russia, and labelling Moscow a "paper tiger". He repeated the line this week. Putin, speaking at the Valdai Discussion Group in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, said Russian forces were advancing along the entire front in Ukraine, and that almost all of the U.S.-led NATO alliance was now fighting against Russia. "A paper tiger. What follows then? Go and deal with this paper tiger," Putin said. "Well if we are fighting with the entire NATO bloc, we are moving, advancing, and we feel confident, and we are a 'paper tiger', then what is NATO itself?" "If anyone still has a desire to compete with us in the military sphere, as we say, feel free, let them try," Putin said. "Russia's countermeasures will not be long in coming." 'COOL DOWN, SLEEP CALMLY,' PUTIN TELLS NATO NATO members, he said, were providing Ukraine with intelligence, weapons and training, and whipping up what he cast as hysteria about alleged plans of Russia to attack a NATO member, which he dismissed as "impossible to believe". "I just want to say: cool down, sleep calmly, and take care of your own problems. Just take a look at what's happening on the streets of European cities," Putin said. Putin said Ukraine's armed forces had a grave lack of manpower and desertions, while Russia had enough soldiers. He suggested that Kyiv should negotiate an end to the war. Russia, he said, controlled almost all of Luhansk province, about 81% of the Donetsk region, and about 75% of both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Moscow claimed in 2022 to have annexed the four regions, and says it will not end the war until Ukraine withdraws from them entirely.

Taylor Swift takes on misogyny and cancel culture in 'Cancelled!': 'Tone-deaf and hot, let's f---in' off her'New Foto - Taylor Swift takes on misogyny and cancel culture in 'Cancelled!': 'Tone-deaf and hot, let's f---in' off her'

Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot Taylor Swiftknows who her friends are — the ones with matching scars. In the song "Cancelled!," off her new album,The Life of a Showgirl, Swift takes on cancel culture, specifically through the lens of misogyny, while also offering a safe space for her female pals, especially those who stuck by her when she was dealing with her own cancellation (see:Reputation). The dark, campy track, which starts with some angry guitar riffs for good measure, addresses this from the get-go. "You thought that it would be ok, at first / The situation could be saved, of course / But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse / Beware the wrath of masked crusaders," she warns. So yes, Swifties disappointed that her vault track "Slut!" was too tame to earn its exclamation point can rejoice — "Cancelled!" is a banger worthy of the punctuation. Throughout the song, Swift checks off the various ways one might be exiled, but they're noticeably all things that only a woman would be banished for: "Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?" goes one line. "Did you make a joke only a man could?" goes another. "Were you just too smug for your own good?" she asks. And our personal favorite: "'Tone-deaf and hot, let's f---in' off her.'" While Swift writes from the perspective of someone talking to her lady friends, all of that criticism is stuff she herself has grappled with as a public figure, which she previously sang about in herLovertrack "The Man." And though Swifties and Swift haters alike will look for direct references to famous squad members who've been chased by the internet mob — like Blake Lively, who has beenembroiled in a very public legal battlewith herIt Ends With Usdirector and costar Justin Baldoni — they won't find any here. For Lively, it should be noted that Swift has said she wrote this album's songs during the European leg of her Eras Tour, so likely between May and August of 2024, but the Lively-Baldoni drama began in earnest in December 2024. While Swift doesn't name names or get into specifics on "Cancelled!" — misogyny is a universal experience! — she delivers plenty of color with her biting witticisms, declaring loudly and hilariously that whatever these women did or didn't do doesn't matter to her: "Good thing I like my friends cancelled / I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal." She also implies she's not one to cast aspersions. "They stood by me / Before my exoneration / They believed I was innocent / So I'm not here for judgement, no."

But she does suggest, with a wink, that if all us ladies are going to be dismissed and discarded anyways, we might as well link arms and own it. "Can't you see my infamy loves company?" she sings in "Cancelled!," adding, "Now they've broken you like they've broken me / But a shattered glass / Is a lot more sharp / And now you know exactly who your friends are / You know who we are / We're the ones with matching scars."
