A new twist in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case — a ransom letter suggests she may be within driving distance of Tucson because the note talks about returning her by car, not plane. Investigators are now looking across a multi-state radius around Arizona, possibly even parts of Mexico. The letter was carefully written and sent to media outlets, which is either very bold or very weird — maybe both. One deadline already passed without proof of life, and another is coming up, so authorities are watching this very closely.
Sad update out of Georgia — police say a body has been recovered from a pond during the search for DJ Young Slade, the son of Lil Jon. They believe it may be him, but the medical examiner is still confirming. He had been reported missing after leaving home without his phone — which in 2026 is basically like leaving without oxygen. Investigators say there are no signs of foul play right now.
Royal family drama check — reports say things are pretty tense between King Charles and Prince William. Insiders say there’s real anger on both sides, and apparently it’s a clash of strong personalities — emotional versus strategic, reactive versus stubborn. Basically Thanksgiving dinner, but with crowns.
Home Alone actor Daniel Stern has had a prostitution solicitation case in California dismissed. Prosecutors say he completed an education program, which is standard for a first offense. He didn’t appear in court, the case is closed, and somewhere Kevin McCallister is still better at setting traps than most lawyers.
Amazon tried to be funny and maybe picked the worst possible timing. They added a joke internal job title for Chris Hemsworth — “Chief Heartthrob” — as part of a Super Bowl Alexa ad campaign. Employees didn’t love it, mostly because it came right after layoffs, including Alexa staff. Nothing boosts morale like fake executive titles for Thor while you update your résumé.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is leveling up her acting career — she’s set to lead a new Netflix romantic comedy inspired by Notting Hill. She’s also filming an action spinoff tied to the Extraction universe. From K-pop superstar to rom-com lead to action hero — overachiever energy.
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are reuniting at the Oscars for a tribute to director Rob Reiner. No details yet, but if they recreate even one diner scene, the internet will need a minute.
And finally, a Melania documentary is getting one of the wildest score splits ever — 7 percent from critics and 99 percent from verified audience viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. The site says the audience scores are legit, analysts are skeptical, and IMDb flagged unusual voting patterns. In other words — the reviews section is more dramatic than the documentary.
