Kathy Griffin, 23-year-old girlfriend and age gap romance

Kathy Griffin ended 2025 with the dating revelation that she fell in love with a 23-year-old man shortly after breaking up with ex-husband Randy Bick.

“I accidentally fell in love with a 23-year-old man,” the 65-year-old comedian wrote in an op-ed for The Cut magazine, published Dec. 31. “Because of his age, he didn’t have the sexism and misogyny and prejudice that you would expect from a man my age. He seemed to see me. I know that sounds really corny. Oh my god, it sounds so lame! But I felt so comfortable with him and so content just being around him.”

Although the relationship was short-lived, Griffin wrote that the two enjoyed each other’s company and have no regrets.

“When he told me he didn’t want to have kids and that we could be together forever, I knew he was too young. And I thought, ‘You don’t know that. You’re 23. You don’t understand anything,'” she wrote. “That’s why I had to release the pigeon.”

Griffin isn’t the only celebrity to pursue romance with men much younger than herself. After all, Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson, who have a 48-year age difference, officially announced their romance on the red carpet at the end of 2024. Katharine McPhee and David Foster, who have a 35-year age difference, got married in 2019.

Age-gap relationships are not necessarily uncommon, but they do come with complications that everyone involved should be aware of. Often the biggest challenge is not the relationship itself, but how the other person reacts to it.

“You have to be confident in your relationship” Janet Morrison, is a certified sex and relationship coach, previously told USA TODAY. “The biggest external factor influencing most of these relationships is not age, but the reaction and acceptance of the relationship by peers.”

Kathy Griffin and society’s obsession with age differences

Hollywood has a storied history of famous couples with notable age differences, such as Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart (25 years apart) and Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio (12 years apart). In modern Hollywood, Kylie Jenner and Tyga (who met when Jenner was 14 and Tyga 21) and Florence Pugh and Zach Braff (21 years apart) have raised eyebrows, as has Scott Disick’s relationship.

Some people call their former older partner because they feel taken advantage of. Take Demi Lovato’s 2022 single “29,” for example, which was adopted by countless TikTok users who recalled their own past relationships. “Finally turning 29 / It’s funny, I’m just like you back then / I thought it was a teenage dream and it was just a fantasy / But was it yours or mine? 17, 29,” Lovato sings in the song, which is rumored to be a reference to ex Wilmer Valderrama.

When Taylor Swift, 36, re-released her 2012 album Red in 2021, she updated her breakup ballad “All Too Well,” which is said to be about actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who is nine years her senior, to include a reference to their age difference.

The media tends to portray age-gap relationships in a one-dimensional way. Wealthy, stable, older men have social, economic, and even sexual power, while attractive, young, and dependent “trophy wives” have only one thing to offer: beauty. Public debates about age-gap relationships can be brutal when older women date younger men, as evidenced by the label “cougar” that paints older women as prowling wild animals.

Commenting on the double standards older women face in age-gap relationships, Griffin said she is not ashamed of people calling her a “cougar.” In fact, she accepts it.

“I have never dated a man my age since I turned 30,” Griffin wrote. “So, people always say I’m a cougar, but I don’t care. I’m a cougar in a way. It means you have the freedom to choose who you want, as opposed to the age group that society tells you is your only choice.”

Relationship experts’ opinions on age differences

After all, for couples with an age difference to have a successful romance, it’s important that both people in the relationship see each other as equals.

The most common problem in age-gap relationships is when there is a toxic power imbalance. To avoid this, Meghan Gillen, a psychology professor at Penn State Abington who studies developmental psychology and body image, previously told USA TODAY that she advises people in age-gap relationships to be careful and assess the situation themselves. Ask yourself, “Does it feel appropriate? Do you feel comfortable? Do you feel like you can empathize with that person? Or do you feel like that person has power over you?” Younger partners in particular need to pay particular attention to potential gender, social, and power relationships.

Ian Kerner, a therapist and sex and relationship expert, previously told USA TODAY that for couples with a large age difference, it can be difficult not only to find common interests and activities, but also to integrate family and friends into each other’s lives. To combat this, Kerner says it’s important for the two of you to find fun things to do together.

Please remember. There are many examples of healthy and thriving relationships despite large age differences.

“Humans find connections everywhere,” Eric Anderson, a licensed marriage and family therapist, previously told USA TODAY. “Relationships shouldn’t be so judgmental as long as both parties can agree.”

Chick-fil-A sweepstakes to win a year’s worth of free food.

Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy and his brother Ben opened their first restaurant in 1946. The popular chicken chain is celebrating its roots in 2026 with a new menu and free meals.

Chick-fil-A is celebrating a milestone of 80 years of cooking and wants customers to join in the fun.

As part of its “Newstalgia” celebration, starting Monday, Jan. 5, Chick-fil-A will boast new beverages, begin selling signature stuffed cows, and launch a special sweepstakes that will give fans a chance to win free food for a year.

New products from Chick-fil-A: Frosted sodas and floats made with the chain’s Ice Dream frozen dairy desserts, limited-time retro packaging of Chick-fil-A’s Original Chicken Sandwich, and collectible retro-style cups that are part of a sweepstakes.

For the 80th anniversary celebration, Chick-fil-A “wanted to do something truly special for our guests – something fun, intentional, and full of surprise and delight,” Kalila Cooper, Chick-fil-A’s vice president of brand strategy, advertising and media, told USA TODAY in a statement.

“It made me think differently about how we show up, not just in the moment, but throughout the year,” she said. “This campaign aims to celebrate our guests in a larger, more immersive way, creating moments that truly feel memorable and uniquely Chick-fil-A.”

How to get a free year of Chick-fil-A

Remember Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket? Chick-fil-A has a Gold Fun Cup.

Starting January 5th, Chick-fil-A will begin offering $3.99 Classic Cups for a limited time. One of four retro-inspired cup designs will roll out every few weeks while supplies last.

3,000 Gold Fun Cups will be randomly distributed to cups across the country and come with prizes. Lucky winners will receive 52 entrees (choose from Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Sandwich or Chick-fil-A Nuggets at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants; contest runs through July 1). Winners scan the QR code to claim their prize.

What’s new with Chick-fil-A?

In addition to the special packaging of the Original Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A’s permanent menu now includes Dirty Soda Style Frosted Sodas and Floats, available starting January 5th.

frosted soda – Fountain Beverage of your choice – Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Hi-C, Barks Root Beer, Diet Soda Optional – Mix with Ice Dream for a smooth, creamy drink.
float – Stack your soda of choice with Ice Dream to create a carbonated drink.

Later this year, an updated kids meal offering and a new limited-time breakfast menu will be introduced, which the company said is currently being tested and “proving to be a big hit with our fans.” This could be an allusion to the chicken and waffle breakfast sandwich currently being tested in Baltimore, Maryland, and San Antonio, Texas. However, Chick-fil-A declined to confirm that a U.S. release of the sandwich was imminent.

Cows will be the main character again this year. Special stuffed cows ($9.99) in a variety of designs will be sold at the restaurant, and other merchandise, including clothing and accessories, will be sold online.

This summer, Chick-fil-A is also bringing back its Cow Appreciation Day celebration. The chain’s “Cow Calendar,” which it stopped offering after 2018, will also return with a digital twist.

“We’re keeping the physical calendar that people remember and love, but we’re reimagining it with the digital component that’s in our app, so it’s a natural fit for how today’s guests engage with us,” Cooper said in a statement. “While nostalgic in spirit, it is designed for today’s guests, creating an experience that feels comforting, fun, and new at the same time.”

Chick-fil-A history

Tuet Cathy and her brother Ben opened The Dwarf Grill in Atlanta in 1946, starting what would become a hugely successful private company.

The restaurant, later renamed The Dwarf House, was closed on Sundays, similar to today’s Chick-fil-A restaurants. According to the chain’s website, the decision was made by Tuyet Cathy, a religious conservative, to “set aside a day to rest, enjoy time with family and loved ones, or worship if you wish.”

According to food news site Mashed, Tuet Cathy grew the company after Ben’s death, but Ben, along with his other brother, Horace, died in a plane crash three years later.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cathy trademarked “Chick-fil-A,” a play on the word “filet,” in 1963. Four years later, in 1967, the company opened its first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta’s Greenbrier Shopping Center, according to the company’s website.

Twenty years later, Cathy opened the first freestanding Chick-fil-A location outside a mall in 1986, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In 2001, Chick-fil-A opened its 1,000th store, and in 2012, the chain surpassed competitor KFC in sales and became the top chicken chain in the United States.

Before the founder passed away in 2014, his son Dan became CEO. Dan Cathy’s son Andrew will become CEO in 2021, and Dan Cathy will continue as Chairman.

Pioneer Tuyet Cathy was “almost the last true fast food innovator of his generation,” Boston University hospitality professor Christopher Muller told USA TODAY at the time of Cathy’s death in 2014. “Thuyet changed the business by inventing the boneless chicken sandwich.”

Chick-fil-A’s success and counterattack

Chick-fil-A currently has more than 3,000 stores and recently opened its first permanent restaurants in the United Kingdom and Singapore.

The company has been controversial at times. Dan Cathy made comments questioning same-sex marriage in 2012 when he was CEO, which he later said he regretted. Some stores have been hit by protests and boycotts, and new Chick-fil-A stores have been shut down in some cities.

Last month, a Chick-fil-A store in Utah received some praise after a Facebook post celebrating two men’s marriage went viral.

Mr. Cooper did not comment specifically on the incident. “From the beginning, caring about people, serving quality food, and remaining curious about what can be improved have been at the core of our business. And the balance of continuing to innovate while respecting what came before has always been a part of who we are,” she said.

All controversy aside, Chick-fil-A is one of only three American restaurant brands with total U.S. sales of more than $20 billion, according to QSR, a news site that covers the quick-service restaurant industry. The other two companies are McDonald’s and Starbucks.

Chick-fil-A’s total systemwide sales in 2024 were $22.7 billion, up 5% from $21.6 billion in 2023, according to QSR. According to research firm Numerator, Chick-fil-A outperforms competitors among Gen

“Chick-fil-A’s longevity is a testament to its appetizing menu and consistent business execution,” RJ Hottovy, head of analytics and research at Placer.ai, told USA TODAY.

The chain’s Newstalgia campaign could help boost traffic in the coming months. Placer.ai, which tracks millions of devices and uses machine learning to estimate store visits, said overall chicken quick-service restaurants saw traffic decline in July and August after seeing an increase in visitors in the first half of 2025.

“The chicken category has driven much of the quick-service restaurant industry’s growth over the past few years, with Chick-fil-A being a major contributor,” Hottovy said. “The company faces increased competition from Raising Cane’s and many emerging hot chicken brands, but through continued menu innovation and creative marketing campaigns, it is well-positioned to remain a leading consumer destination.”

New AI tool estimates how long until I can live independently

New AI tool estimates how long until I can live independently

I’m 28 years old, and I was recently told that I have 58 years left to live independently.

Apparently, when I turn 86, I may need long-term care. It also costs money. Even if it’s over $10 million. oh yeah.

Waterlily, a new AI tool that predicts long-term care needs, asked me a few questions, such as “How many siblings do you have?” and crunched the numbers in seconds. “Over the past five years, on average, how many alcoholic drinks have you consumed per month?”

I have two sisters and we like to have a glass or two of wine on the weekends. I shared my zip code (I live in Cincinnati, Ohio), my estimated net worth (I used the median net worth for those under 35, $39,000, from the Federal Reserve Consumer Finance Survey), my height (5’0”), and my weight (which is not relevant to you, my readers).

Users can also share other information, such as details about their medical history, their care preferences, and whether they have already made a will. It’s free, but you’ll need to meet with an advisor or care professional to access your results. This algorithm typically predicts outcomes for users over the age of 40.

Lily Vittayarukskul, Waterlily’s CEO and founder, said to me, “You may be the youngest person to actually use our system,” before we even started reviewing my results.

The algorithm predicted that there was an almost 1 in 5 chance that you would end up in long-term care where you would be unable to care for yourself. If that happens, Suiren predicts that I will be around 86 years old and will need assistance with things like bathing, eating, and dressing for about 5 years, starting with 15 hours of care per week and ending with about 35 hours of care per week. Adjusted for inflation, this would cost about $10 million over five years. Mr. Vittayarkuskul showed me how the cost of care can increase or decrease depending on the type of care I choose, whether I want to stay at home or go to a facility, and how my current savings plan can offset those costs in the future.

After that, I will either die or recover until the next long-term care event occurs. What a comfort!

“This is not a crystal ball,” Vittayarkuskul said. “But it’s the best we have.”

Most people find out they need care sooner than expected, and loved ones are often left scrambling to make plans. A recent report from A Place for Mom, a senior housing search platform, found that more than half of the 1,000 family caregivers surveyed wish they had started planning for long-term care sooner, and 88% said their families needed more guidance and support to understand their options.

It is certainly too early to start preparing for my own care. Well, my parents haven’t retired yet. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from covering long-term care for USA TODAY, it’s that planning is essential.

“I’m already preparing for my children,” said General Julia Beck, founder of the care consultant group It’s Working Project. “It’s not necessarily a progressive disease. There are some diseases that can happen to anyone at any time, such as a heart attack or an accident.”

Why planning for long-term care is important

Every day, more than 11,000 people turn 65. People this age are less confident about what their later years will look like, said Jason Fichtner, a fellow at the Stanford Economic Policy Institute and executive director of the LIMRA Retirement Income Research Institute. And even when financial professionals try to talk about long-term care scenarios, survey data shows that the conversation is not pervasive.

According to data from an Alliance survey of nearly 3,500 consumers ages 45 to 75, 96% of financial professionals say they discuss physical health issues with clients, but only 44% of clients remember those conversations. And fewer than one-third of respondents remember their financial advisor discussing cognitive decline.

Financial planners aren’t the only ones trying to talk pointlessly about caring for the elderly. Adult children struggle to have the same conversations with their parents.

“Your parents aren’t interested in talking about their deaths. Why would they do that?” Beck said. “The hardest part of that conversation is literally getting to the point where the parents are willing to sit down and talk about it with you.”

The goal is to give people as much control over their aging process as possible, Beck said. And that control is made possible by talking about how people want to be cared for, including where they want to be, who they want to help them, and what lifestyle factors are most important to them.

Financial advisor Frank Fantozzi has created a Care Planning Guide on how to have these conversations. She said it’s important to start a dialogue so families don’t make their most important decisions at the most stressful moments. “Don’t be afraid to talk about it,” Fantozzi said.

“My mother is very independent,” he said. “It must have been her idea.”

Fantozzi’s guide is full of tips to help frame the conversation around distant hypotheticals rather than immediate needs. That’s the key to managing potentially hurt feelings and egos among aging parents, Beck says.

“The further away that moment is, the better,” she said.

$10 million is a daunting number, but financial advisors say there’s no need to worry.

There are a lot of things Water Lily doesn’t know about me that could affect my longevity, like my activity level (sure, I spend most of the day sitting at my computer reporting and writing articles, but I ran my first marathon last October and teach yoga at a local studio) and my social connections (I’m lucky to have a lot of love among my friends and family in my life).

And there’s a lot that can change between now and my golden years. Suiren asked me if I had any children, but I didn’t have any. However, I would like to become a mother someday.

Would I want my children to help take care of me in my old age? That’s a question for 80-year-old Madeline.

Vittayarkuskul suggests using this algorithm again after more than 10 years, when my life stage has changed. That might yield more accurate results, she said.

In the meantime, I have a daunting $10 million to save.

In today’s dollars, that’s just under $400,000. Fantozzi said it’s difficult to relate future dollars. “When it gets too unrealistic, people just check out.”

Mr. Fichtner told me to ignore the big numbers for now and start saving in general for eventual retirement. You want to live a little bit between your report date and your long-term care event, right? That’s (hopefully) about 20 years worth of retirement savings before you hand over another $10 million for long-term care.

“I don’t worry about that,” Fichtner said. “Start saving today, plan accordingly, and start making changes as you get closer to your goal.”

Starbucks winter menu 2026 drinks include caramel, Dubai chocolate

To start the new year, Starbucks has a new winter menu that may appeal to lovers of caramel, pistachio, and Dubai chocolate.

The specialty coffee chain will launch a new winter menu starting Tuesday, Jan. 6, replacing its holiday menu, Goodbye Creme Brulee Latte. New drinks include the Caramel Protein Latte and Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha, as well as the Pistachio Latte with the return of pistachio flavor and the new Pistachio Cortado.

Collectors of seasonal tumblers, cold cups and coffee mugs can choose from exclusive Valentine’s Day-themed items and items celebrating the Year of the Horse, which arrives in February according to the Chinese lunar calendar.

Here’s what you need to know about Starbucks’ new winter menu, which goes on sale Tuesday, January 6th.

What kind of drinks are on Starbucks’ winter menu?

Starbucks is adding two new caramel protein drinks to its year-round menu, debuting on January 6th. Pistachio flavor will be added to the year-round menu, but the four limited-time pistachio drinks will be available only during the winter season. And following an overwhelming response to the Dubai chocolate-inspired matcha latte recipe that debuted on Starbucks’ “secret menu” in January 2025, two new limited-time drinks have been officially added to the winter menu.

The full lineup is as follows:

Caramel protein matcha: Protein-enriched milk, unsweetened matcha, and caramel syrup (available hot or iced, with new unsweetened caramel syrup).

Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha: Starbucks espresso roast, chocolate mocha sauce, and milk are poured over ice and topped with pistachio cream cold foam and a salted brown butter topping.
Cut pistachios: Starbucks Blonde Espresso Ristretto Shots Available in 3 Types – Cortado drinks are made with ristretto shots, which are smaller and more concentrated than traditional espresso shots, and are topped with pistachio flavor, steamed milk, and salted brown butter.
Pistachio cream cold brew: Cold brew, vanilla syrup, pistachio cream cold foam, and salted brown butter sprinkles on top.
Pistachio milk: Espresso, sweet pistachio sauce, milk, and salted brown butter topping (available hot and iced).
Pistachio Frappuccino: Coffee, pistachio flavor, milk, ice, whipped cream, and salted brown butter topping (you can also order it without coffee as a pistachio cream frappuccino).

What else is on Starbucks’ winter menu?

Starbucks’ winter menu will also see the return of popular snacks, including timely Valentine’s Cake Pops and year-round menu upgrades, like the Turkey Bacon, Cheddar & Egg White Sandwich. This sandwich features newly cherrywood-smoked turkey bacon and sharp white cheddar for more flavor.

Click here for details on the winter menu

Truffle, mushroom and brie egg bites: A new sous vide snack made with cage-free eggs, black truffles, brie cheese and mushrooms (for a limited time only).
Valentine cake pop: A return to the seasonal menu, this pop is made with vanilla cake mixed with buttercream, dipped in red chocolate icing and decorated with a heart design.
Claude Protein Popcorn: Individually wrapped bags of Khloud Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn Protein Popcorn (7 grams of protein per serving) are now available year-round.
Elenos Greek Yogurt: Two flavors are available throughout the year: sugar-free muesli yoghurt and strawberry shortcake yoghurt.

Starbucks new winter cup

The arrival of the winter menu also means a new wave of Starbucks drinkware and merchandise, including a Year of the Horse key chain with a miniature Bearista in a horse costume.

Fennel and leek galette: The golden, flaky pastry is stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano and ricotta cheese, roasted fennel, and butter-braised green onions.
Salted caramel bianco latte: Starbucks Reserve Espresso with steamed milk, caramel, white chocolate and finished with salted brown butter sprinkles.
Milk tiramisu: Mocha sauce and steamed milk are added to espresso, followed by cold tiramisu foam and mocha powder.
Salted caramel carajillo: A cocktail made with espresso, Spanish cordial liqueur, and tequila. The rim of the glass is coated with caramel and topped with salted brown butter.

Tim Walz withdraws from Minnesota gubernatorial race amid fraud scandal

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has called off his bid for re-election amid mounting pressure over the corruption scandal that has engulfed his administration in recent weeks.

The move comes days after a handful of Republican state lawmakers called on Walz to resign, citing a federal prosecutor’s report that found at least half of the $18 billion disbursed through Minnesota’s 14 Medicaid waiver programs since 2018 may be fraudulent. They argued that Mr. Walz was doing nothing about the “crisis.”

Walz cited increased pressure as one of the reasons for his decision to withdraw from racing.

“When I reflected on this moment with my family and team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I could not devote myself fully to a political campaign,” he said.

“So I have decided to withdraw from the campaign, let others worry about the election, and focus on my job,” Walz continued in the statement.

Black Monday latest news on team moves

It’s a scary day on the NFL calendar.

“Black Monday” usually heralds major disruption across the league, and teams often take quick action to revamp their coaching staffs and front offices as the season ends. Typically, around six to seven head coaching positions are created each year, but several recent offseasons have seen an even bigger overhaul. Three teams have already made the move, and more action is sure to follow. And despite some reports indicating that many coaches are clearly not on thin ice, this stage has a way of causing some surprises almost every year.

USA TODAY Sports will have all the latest updates throughout Monday, so be sure to check back for all the latest information.

The Tennessee Titans are currently in a major coaching search, taking the first steps toward identifying Brian Callahan’s full-time replacement.

According to multiple reports, the Titans have requested an interview with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.

The move is not surprising given Nagy’s relationship with Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi, who rose through the ranks with the Chiefs from 2009-24 and took the top job at Tennessee last year.

Nagy is seeking a second chance as an NFL head coach after compiling a 34-31 record in four seasons with the Chicago Bears.

The first split of Black Monday is here.

Kevin Stefanski has been released by the Cleveland Browns, the team announced.

“We greatly appreciate Kevin’s leadership of the Cleveland Browns over the past six seasons,” Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a statement. “He is an excellent football coach and an even better human being. While we appreciate his hard work and dedication to our organization, our performance over the past two seasons has been less than satisfactory and we believe a change in the head coaching position is necessary. We wish Kevin, Michelle, and the Stefanski family the best of luck in the future.”

Andrew Berry will remain as general manager and oversee the search for the next head coach.

By the time of the Browns’ final game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, speculation was mounting that the two-time NFL Coach of the Year would not return in 2026. Stefanski has a career record of 45-56, but led Cleveland to the postseason twice.

“After six seasons as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, it is with great gratitude that I step down,” Stefanski said in a statement. “When I arrived in January 2020, this organization, this community, and the Browns fans welcomed me and my family with open arms. Words cannot adequately express how well we have been treated. A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to everyone I have had the pleasure of working with over the past six seasons.”

Stefanski could be one of the most attractive candidates on the open market for other teams with vacant positions.

The Atlanta Falcons continue their shake-up just one day after waiving Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot.

The Falcons announced Monday that Rich McKay will step down as the team’s CEO. Team president Greg Beadles plans to add that role to his title.

In addition, owner Arthur Blank confirmed that the organization will “bring in a new football president from outside the organization.” Former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been widely reported as a leading candidate for the role.

“We intend to move quickly on this hire so that the new president of football can be fully involved in the selection of new leadership in the head coach and general manager roles,” Blank said in a statement.

The crushing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers not only put an end to the Baltimore Ravens, but also opened the door to questions about coach John Harbaugh’s future with the franchise.

But Harbaugh was clear about his hopes after the game.

“Yeah, I love them,” Harbaugh said when asked if he wanted to come back next year.

Two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson couldn’t handle questions about his future immediately after the loss.

“You’re asking about next year,” Jackson said. “My mind is so preoccupied with what happened tonight that I can’t focus on it right now. I just said it. I’m stunned right now. I’m still trying to process what’s going on.”

In the Cleveland Browns’ final game, Myles Garrett etched his name in NFL history as the single-season sack leader, while the sluggish offense found a way to upset the Cincinnati Bengals, winning 20-18.

This game could be the end of the Kevin Stefanski era.

The two-time NFL Coach of the Year is not expected to remain in the NFL, according to multiple reports.

After the game, Stefanski dismissed questions about his future.

This may not be a huge deal, but Pete Carroll’s tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders may at least end with a win.

The Raiders, who acquired the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft before Sunday’s game, closed out the season with a 14-12 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. But that most likely won’t change the oldest coach in NFL history and his job security.

Carroll is widely expected to be a one-shot in Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.

Carroll said after the game that he “obviously” wants to return and is not considering retirement.

“Nobody talks to me about it,” he said. “I haven’t said anything about that.”

The Arizona Cardinals tied for the NFL’s worst record with 3 wins and 14 losses, and had the worst goal differential of any NFC team (-133).

Nevertheless, coach Jonathan Gannon appears to be planning to return for his fourth season with the franchise.

After a 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams to end the season at 3-14, the Cardinals released Monday’s media schedule on Sunday, with Gannon listed as a speaker. That suggests he is expected to remain with the organization.

The Cardinals have had a lot of trouble this season, with a number of injuries throughout the season. The team ended the year with 24 players on injured reserve.

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t offer much room for lingering speculation.

Shortly after the season ended with a 38-30 loss to the Houston Texans, the Colts announced that coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard would return in 2026.

Indianapolis became the first team in 30 years to miss the playoffs while starting 8-2, as the team dropped its final seven games. After Daniel Jones suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 14, the Colts signed 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers, who had been retired for five years, in a last-ditch attempt to revive their postseason hopes. However, the Colts will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight year.

Indianapolis is currently heading into a tough offseason with at least some stability. The Colts must decide on the future of Jones, who is set to become a free agent, while also strengthening a roster that will be without a first-round draft pick for the next two years after a midseason trade to acquire cornerback Source Gardner.

Ahead of what is typically a busy day of activity, USA TODAY Sports’ Nate Davis offered four predictions for Black Monday.

It won’t be clear until later, at least one of them will be on a playoff team that embraces these changes. But Davis is among the group hoping for a quieter Monday than in years past.

IHOP announces contract for bottomless pancakes through March

Just a short drive away, your local IHOP may offer unlimited amounts of fluffy goodness.

The popular breakfast food chain has launched bottomless pancakes from Monday, January 5th to March 30th.

IHOP says this benefit is only available at participating restaurants and is applied after purchasing select breakfast combos.

Their statement states that this deal “cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions, including IHOP Rewards Stack Market redemptions.” “Bottomless pancakes are valid per person, per order and include buttermilk pancakes only.”

NFL star unveils IHOP’s bottomless pancakes

The bottomless pancake news was announced in a comedic commercial featuring New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabors on crutches. The football star suffered a season-ending injury related to his anterior cruciate ligament in the early fall.

The ad focuses on a hapless fantasy football participant while also lightly criticizing the 22-year-old athlete.

“Each year, thousands of fantasy football leagues are the last place their teams spend 24 hours eating pancakes at IHOP, and IHOP wants to help,” Nabers said in a commercial posted Dec. 25.

The waitress jokingly replied, “Like how did I help you all with your fantasy team this season?”

“That’s why IHOP is launching bottomless pancakes,” Nabers continued. “This is a big win for bottom-of-the-line fantasy players and pancake lovers.”

Jessica Biel rages about husband Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake counts his wife of over 10 years, Jessica Biel, among his biggest fans.

“I’m his biggest fan. I feel like I’m with his biggest fan,” Biel told E! News host Justin Sylvester appears on the black carpet at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards on January 4th. “He’s really great live. There’s no one who can perform like him, sing like him, and like him.”

“He brings me so much joy and I don’t care if I look like a crazy person. I’m going to dance as hard as I can for two and a half hours,” she continued. “And I love his music and I don’t care. But let me just say this: I adore him. I love him as an artist and as a performer.”

The “Better Sister” actress’ tirade against her husband began after Sylvester questioned her about a video of her dancing at a Timberlake concert that was released during the 2024-2025 Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

However, the tour was met with backlash from social media. Several of his concerts were canceled or postponed due to health reasons, and some fans criticized the singer for lackluster performances.

In July, he revealed in an Instagram post that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, a disease he described as “relentlessly debilitating both mentally and physically.”

Timberlake gave a shout-out to his wife during a Montreal performance in October 2024 to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary. He confessed his love to Biel while Biel stood behind the barricade, and the two blew each other a kiss.

The couple, who married in 2012, welcomed their first son, Cyrus, in April 2015, and their second son, Phineas, joined their family five years later.

Maduro appears in court after arrest: Live updates

Deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is scheduled to make his first appearance in federal court in New York City on Monday, days after his wife was captured by U.S. forces in a surprise attack in the oil-rich country.

President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are scheduled to appear in federal court in Manhattan at noon local time for arraignment on four indictments related to a 25-year-old narco-terrorism conspiracy. President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the case against Maduro is “no doubt.” President Maduro has long denied any involvement in drug trafficking.

The surprise attack marked a significant escalation against the South American country after months of heightened tensions, threats and the seizure of oil tankers. The military operation has garnered support from President Trump’s allies, but has also drawn bipartisan criticism, with some lawmakers questioning the legality of an operation to seize a foreign head of state.

On Sunday, President Trump discussed military intervention in other countries, including Mexico, Colombia and Greenland. Governance of the South American country remains uncertain after Maduro’s arrest, with President Trump saying the United States would “run” the country and Secretary of State Marco Rubio explaining how he would pressure Venezuela to act in American interests.

Development status:

■ Speaking on Air Force One on Sunday, President Trump reflected on other countries, saying Mexico needs to “get its act together” and telling reporters that military action in Colombia was “a good thing.” Trump also reiterated his claim that the United States “needs Greenland” and said the Cuban regime was “ready to collapse.”

∎ Cuban state media reported that 32 Cuban nationals who were protecting President Maduro were killed in a surprise attack by the United States over the weekend. Neither the United States nor Venezuela confirmed the death toll, but U.S. officials said several soldiers were injured in the operation.

President Trump has said the United States will “run” Venezuela, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he remains focused on using leverage and pressure to force the oil-rich country to act in line with U.S. interests. So far, there are more questions than answers about how Venezuela will be governed after Maduro’s capture.

On Sunday night, President Trump reiterated to reporters that “the United States is responsible” for Venezuela. The president added that the administration is “dealing with people who have just been sworn in,” referring to Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who was apparently named acting president.

Trump told reporters he had not yet spoken to Rodriguez, but said others had, adding that he would talk to Rodriguez “at the appropriate time.” He later said the U.S. had not given Rodriguez anything in exchange for her cooperation, but said: “She is cooperating.”

Mr. Rodriguez had previously rejected Mr. Trump’s claims that he was willing to cooperate with the administration, but adopted a softer tone in Sunday night’s statement. He called for a “balanced and respectful” relationship with the United States, adding that the relationship should be based on “sovereign equality and non-interference.”

“We call on the U.S. government to work together on an agenda of cooperation aimed at common development within the framework of international law and to strengthen the lasting coexistence of our communities,” Rodriguez said in a statement on Telegram.

Earlier in the day, President Trump had issued a warning to Rodriguez. “If she doesn’t do the right thing, she’s going to pay a very high price, probably more than Maduro,” Trump told The Atlantic.

Asked if he would demand free and fair elections in Venezuela, Trump said: “It depends.” He said Venezuela needs to be “fixed” before elections can be held in the country.

“We’re looking more at fixing it and being prepared first, because the situation is a mess. This country is a mess,” he said.

President Trump also called on Rodriguez to provide the United States with “full access” to Venezuela’s resources. He noted that oil companies want to enter Venezuela and repair the country’s oil infrastructure.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Venezuela is recognized as having the world’s largest proven reserves of crude oil. President Trump has said U.S. oil companies may resume investing in the region, but that investment was halted after Maduro’s late predecessor, Hugo Chávez, seized the assets of foreign oil companies.

In comments aboard Air Force One, Trump called Venezuela “very sick” and said the United States could launch a second military attack on the country if the remaining members of Maduro’s regime do not cooperate in efforts to “rebuild” the country.

His comments also raised the possibility of further U.S. military intervention in Latin America. President Trump has indicated that Colombia and Mexico could also face military action if they do not reduce the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

“Colombia is also very sick. It’s run by a sick man who likes to make cocaine and sell it to the United States. He won’t last very long,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

He also said Cuba, a close ally of Venezuela, “looks ready to collapse” on its own without U.S. military action. Trump said “many Cubans were killed” during Saturday’s operation to capture President Maduro.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Gen. Vladimir Padrino said on state television that the U.S. attack killed “the vast majority” of soldiers, civilians and Maduro’s security personnel “in cold blood.” The Cuban government announced that 32 people were killed in the attack.

In the town of Catia la Mar, near Venezuela’s capital Caracas, some houses were damaged or destroyed in a U.S. military operation, residents told Reuters on January 4.

Motorcycle taxi driver Jonathan Marola, 50, and his neighbor Angel Álvarez, a young street vendor, said they woke up to the sound of explosions on January 3 in their community in La Guaira state, about 30 miles north of Caracas.

“I’m really lucky they didn’t kill my children,” Marola said amid the rubble of her apartment building, whose roof was destroyed. He reportedly escaped with his 24-year-old daughter and 22-year-old son and was unharmed.

“I don’t wish anyone to experience an attack,” he added. “We live by miracles.”

Venezuelan authorities said the United States attacked areas in La Guaira, Caracas, neighboring Miranda and Aragua states, killing many soldiers, civilians and members of President Maduro’s security forces, but did not give specific figures for deaths and injuries.

− Reuters

The Trump administration’s capture of Maduro has echoes of the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama that ousted military strongman Manuel Noriega and was the most direct U.S. intervention in Latin America since then.

But experts say that despite some similarities, the two key moments in the long and checkered history of U.S. interventions are different in major ways, and could make it more difficult for the U.S. to achieve its goals this time around, following attacks that have reignited unrest in the region.

“It’s not going to be that easy in Venezuela,” said Will Freeman, Latin America researcher at the Council on Foreign Relations. “One, it’s unlikely that we’ll even reach democracy. Two, many of the problems that were with President Maduro will remain.” Click here for details.

− Chris Kenning

The capture of President Maduro and his wife in a nighttime raid by the U.S. military on President Maduro’s compound in Caracas marked the realization of a long-held political goal for President Trump. But it was a personal victory for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a key member of the Trump administration.

“President Nicolas Maduro had many opportunities to get away with this,” Rubio said alongside Trump at a news conference after the attack at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida, mansion. “He was given multiple very, very, very generous offers, but instead he chose to act like a wild man and fool around, and the result is what we saw tonight.”

Mr. Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, was one of the key architects of the Trump administration’s Venezuela policy, which pivoted the United States from decades of diplomatic negotiations on human rights and other issues to the use of military force to remove the de facto leader from office.

Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot released by Atlanta Falcons in complete reset

The Atlanta Falcons are being reset again.

Just hours after Sunday’s final regular-season game, the team fired coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot. Both seasons with Morris at the helm ended with an 8-9 record.

Fontenot has been general manager for the past five years and oversaw several controversial moves, including the Falcons selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick just over a month after signing veteran Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract.

Despite ending the season with four straight wins, the Falcons opted to change their lead.

“While I have great personal affinity for both Raheem and Terry and appreciate their hard work and dedication to the Falcons, I believe we need new leadership in these roles moving forward,” Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement. “The decision to part ways with people who represent our organization well and who have a shared commitment to the values that are important to our organization was not easy, but the results on the field did not meet our expectations or those of our fans or coaches. We wish Raheem and Terry the absolute best in their future pursuits.”

Expectations were high entering the season as Atlanta was looking to break out of a playoff slump surpassed only by the New York Jets. With Penix taking over as the full-time starter after a promising three-game stint to close out 2024, the Falcons looked to build an explosive offense centered around running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake Rondon.

However, Penix struggled with ball placement, and the Falcons’ offense struggled with both early scoring and third-down conversions. After starting 3-2, the team lost five straight games, ending their playoff hopes and extending their losing streak to eight seasons.

In mid-November, Penix suffered a torn ACL, ending his season. The former Washington and Indiana passer suffered two anterior cruciate ligament tears during his college career.

Still, Robinson finished the year with an NFL-high 2,298 yards from scrimmage.

“We have enough personnel to do what we need to do, and that’s what’s so frustrating for us,” Morris said Sunday after the final game of the season against the New Orleans Saints.

Last April, Atlanta gave up a 2026 first-round pick to take edge rusher James Pierce Jr. at No. 26 overall. Pierce was brought in to revitalize a pass rush that, along with fellow first-rounder Jaron Walker, recorded the fewest sacks in the entire organization from 2019 to 2024. Pierce set the franchise single-season rookie sack record with 10 1/2 sacks, and the unit overall ranked second in the NFL with 57 thanks to defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s lightning-fast approach.

However, the Falcons ended up surrendering the top half of the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to the Rams, leaving the team with few resources to address holes in its receiving corps and other areas.

Morris is the third coach to be fired this season, after the Tennessee Titans fired Brian Callahan and the New York Giants parted ways with Brian Daboll.

The future of rail: see, predict and learn

The future of rail: see, predict and learn

A recent industry report (PDF) claims the UK rail network could build on the 1.6 billion passenger rail journeys recorded by the end of March 2024 and carry a further 1 billion journeys by the mid-2030s. The rise of digital systems, data, and interconnected suppliers will likely create even more points of failure, requiring a combination of complexity and control over the next decade.

A central theme of the report is that AI will become the operating system of modern railways, used not as a central collection of models and algorithms but as a layer of prediction, optimization and automated monitoring found in infrastructure, rolling stock, maintenance yards and stations (pp.18-23). Rather than completely replacing human activity, this technology channels human focus within the daily work schedule.

Make maintenance predictive and data-driven

Traditional railway maintenance relies on fixed schedules and manual inspections, which are reactive and labor-intensive. The white paper states that Network Rail relies on engineers walking the tracks to find defects (p.18). AI is moving the industry toward predictive maintenance, analyzing data from sensors to predict failures before they cause significant disruption.

This includes a combination of sensors and imaging such as high-resolution cameras, LiDAR scanners, and vibration monitors. These provide data to machine learning systems that can signal deterioration of lines, signals, and electrical equipment before failure (pp.18-19).

These monitoring programs can generate alerts months in advance and reduce emergency calls. The timeframe for predicting asset failure varies by asset type. Network Rail’s approach to intelligent infrastructure must move from ‘discover and fix’ to ‘predict and prevent’.

While Network Rail focuses on data-driven maintenance and tools designed to integrate asset information, European R&D programs (such as Europe’s Rail and its predecessor Shift2Rail) are funding projects like DAYDREAMS, which are similarly aimed at prescriptive asset management. Forecasting at scale requires a common approach to achieving transformation.

Traffic control and energy efficiency

Optimizing operations beyond predictive maintenance provides significant benefits. AI systems use live and historical service data, such as train positions, speeds, and weather forecasts, to predict disruptions and adjust traffic flow. Trials of digital twins and AI-based traffic management in Europe, in parallel with research and testing of AI-assisted driving and positioning, have the potential to increase overall network capacity without laying more tracks (p.20).

The algorithm also advises drivers on optimal acceleration and braking, potentially saving energy by 10-15%. Energy savings grow quickly across large networks when route variations, traction, and timetable constraints are taken into account.

Safety surveillance and CCTV

Visible AI applications focus on safety and security. Obstacle detection uses thermal cameras and machine learning to identify hazards that are invisible to the human eye. AI also monitors railroad crossings and analyzes surveillance camera footage to spot abandoned items and suspicious activity (pp. 20-21). For example, AI and LiDAR are being used for crowd monitoring in London Waterloo as part of a suite of safety tools.

Passenger flow and journey optimization

AI can use ticket sales, events and mobile signals to predict demand, allowing operators to adjust vehicle numbers and reduce overcrowding, the report said. Passenger counting is a high-impact, low-impact application. Better data supports better timetables and clearer customer information.

Cyber security issues

As operational technology converges with IT, cybersecurity becomes a critical operational issue. Legacy systems without a replacement plan pose risks, as does modern analytics and integrating older infrastructure. This creates an attractive situation for attackers.

The future of AI in rail includes sensors that operate in extreme environments, models trusted and tested by operators, and governance that treats cyber resilience as inseparable from physical safety. The report’s message is that AI will be here anyway. The question is whether railroads will actively adopt and control it, or inherit it as an unmanaged complexity.

Danish leader asks Trump to ‘stop’ Greenland threat

Denmark’s prime minister called on the White House to “cease the threat” of taking over Greenland after President Donald Trump reiterated his desire to do so in an interview with The Atlantic over the weekend.

“It makes no sense at all to say that the United States needs to occupy Greenland. The United States has no right to annex any of the three countries of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Mette Frederiksen said on January 4.

A day after the United States detained Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump gave an interview to the magazine in which he said the United States would temporarily “run” the Latin American country. The move has renewed concerns in Copenhagen that the same could happen to Greenland, a Danish territory with limited autonomy.

“We absolutely need Greenland. We need it for our defense,” President Trump said in an interview.

Frederiksen’s comments followed a tweet from Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. She posted a map of Greenland in the colors of the American flag with the word “SOON.”

Greenland’s leader also issued a statement on January 4th.

“For the president of the United States to say ‘we need Greenland’ and link us to Venezuela and military intervention is not only wrong, it is disrespectful,” said Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

Denmark, like the United States, is a member of NATO, which means that both countries are subject to the security of the alliance. Denmark also has a separate defense agreement with the United States that allows the Pentagon access to Greenland. President Trump has repeatedly suggested that the United States should annex Greenland because of its strategic location and mineral wealth. His comments embarrassed Danish and Greenlandic officials.

Chelsea Handler honors wife Rob Reiner at Critics’ Choice Awards

“Everyone in this room knows that Rob Reiner is the nicest guy in Hollywood,” the host said, opening the ceremony.

LOS ANGELES – Chelsea Handler, best known for skewering celebrities, opened the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards with a heartfelt tribute to Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner.

Handler, 50, got serious at the end of her monologue on Sunday, January 4, and began talking about the beloved director and his wife, who were murdered in their Brentwood home on December 14. The couple’s son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with the double murder and is scheduled to next appear in court on January 7th.

“Everyone in this room knows that the nicest man in Hollywood is Rob Reiner,” Handler told the crowd. “The moment I met him, I felt like he was an old friend. … He asked a lot of questions, whether we were talking about politics, movies, or the latest beauty trends.”

The four-time host said that in a text message to Reiner after they recently dined together, the director of “The Princess Bride” and “When Harry Met Sally…” responded favorably to the comic’s light dinner conversation.

“He wrote, ‘Thank you for explaining so much about plastic surgery, it was so enlightening,'” Handler said, adding that the Reiners work “tirelessly” for an important cause.

“It all stemmed from one basic idea: common sense,” she said. “I think we can all agree that we definitely need more of that value.”

Chelsea Handler jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s travel troubles

Mr. Handler wasn’t serious about the ceremony, taking aim at the celebrity-packed venue and “One Battle After Another” star Leonardo DiCaprio, who missed out on winning the Palm Springs International Film Awards the day before due to travel disruptions. The “Titanic” star was late leaving for a tropical vacation with his entourage, including Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

“Leo is here, thank God,” Handler said. “Leo got stuck on a boat in St. Barts and almost didn’t make it tonight.”

As Handler continued, the show’s camera cut to a frustrated DiCaprio in the audience.

“It was almost like Titanic, but worse because Jeff Bezos was there,” Handler said.

Jimmy Kimmel slams Donald Trump after winning Critics Choice Award

“The banner ad has been on the air for a few weeks now and we can’t wait to see it again tomorrow night,” the host teased.

LOS ANGELES – Jimmy Kimmel has revealed that President Donald J. Trump is responsible for the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Talk Show Host.

Kimmel, 58, just took issue with the president’s name during an acceptance speech on behalf of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Sunday, January 4th.

“I want to thank our president, Donald Jennifer Trump. Without him, we would be going home empty-handed tonight,” Kimmel said. “So, Mr. President, thank you for all the many stupid things you do every day.”

Kimmel has made President Trump and his administration the butt of many jokes, leading to the late-night comic being pulled from airing by ABC’s parent company.

Disney suspended Kimmel on September 17 after he made comments about the shooting death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on his show two days earlier.

The show returned six days later, and ratings soared as Americans tuned in to watch the ongoing cultural firestorm. Kimmel continues to skewer Trump and will continue to do so when Trump returns to the skies after the holidays on Monday, January 5th.

“It’s been a hot topic for several weeks, and I can’t wait to get back on the air tomorrow night and talk about them,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel also looked down on Trump after reviewing the Critics’ Choice Award, lamenting that it was not the FIFA World Peace Award given to the president by soccer’s governing body.

But the comedian wasn’t just joking; he was all about freedom of speech.

“Thank you to all the writers, actors, producers, union members, and so many of you in this room for supporting us, moving forward with us, and reminding us that we don’t take free speech for granted in this city or this country,” Kimmel said. “Your actions matter and we appreciate them.”

Flu season is here. What are the common symptoms to look out for?

This is the time of year when we sneeze, cough, hack, and wheeze. As the new year begins, influenza cases are surging across much of the United States.

In its latest influenza surveillance report released Dec. 30, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 32 states and jurisdictions had “high” or “very high” levels of influenza activity. Health workers noted a 6% increase in patients with respiratory illnesses from the previous week.

The newest influenza strains, subclade K (or A(H3N2), J.2.4.1), are mutations of influenza A. Although data does not yet show that this new strain, dubbed the “super influenza,” has “increased severity” compared to previous influenza A strains, the World Health Organization reports that this is a notable evolution.

The CDC continues to encourage people, especially children and pregnant people, to get the flu vaccine.

With flu season still underway, here’s what you need to know about common flu symptoms, including those that require medical attention.

What are common flu symptoms?

According to the CDC, the most common symptoms of the flu are:

heat
cough
sore throat
runny or stuffy nose
muscle pain or body aches
headache
fatigue
Some people may experience vomiting and diarrhea, but this is more common in children than adults.

Flu symptoms that require medical attention

The CDC advises seeking immediate medical attention if symptoms persist, worsen, or develop into any of the following:

Rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
Your child’s lips and face turn blue
Persistent dizziness, confusion, inability to wake up
dehydration
Fever and cough improved but returned or worsened
seizure
Fever of around 104 degrees Fahrenheit that cannot be controlled with medication
For children younger than 12 weeks, if they have a fever
worsening of chronic conditions;

What is the difference between a common cold and the flu?

The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses and are caused by different viruses. According to the CDC, the flu is caused by the influenza virus, but the common cold can be caused by a variety of viruses, including rhinoviruses, parainfluenza, and seasonal coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

In terms of symptoms, the symptoms of a cold are milder than those of the flu. People who have a cold are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose, and colds don’t tend to cause serious health problems.

Did Eleven die in ‘Stranger Things’? Millie Bobby Brown knows the truth

Spoiler alert! This story includes details about the final episode of “Stranger Things.”

Do you believe it?

Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) fate was left ambiguous in the series finale of Stranger Things, but the show’s creators revealed that she now knows the definitive answer to what happened to her.

In a spoiler interview on the podcast Happy Sad Confused on January 4, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer admitted that they had decided what the “truth” was about whether Eleven lived or died, and shared it with Brown.

However, the Duffers have no plans to reveal this, and neither does the actress.

“She’s not going to tell you either,” Matt Duffer said on the podcast. “Don’t waste your time.”

He added: “Millie has been sworn to secrecy.”

Apparently, the rest of the cast of “Stranger Things” is also not allowed to know the truth. During the podcast, Duffer texted Brown to remind him not to tell co-star Noah Schnapp what he knew about Eleven’s fate, joking that he couldn’t trust Brown with his secrets. A few minutes later, she texted back, “Of course not.”

In the series finale of Stranger Things, released on New Year’s Eve, Eleven appears to allow herself to die, sacrificing her life when the Upside Down is destroyed, in order to ensure the safety of her friends. But in the final scene, Mike (Finn Wolfhard) develops a theory about how Eleven was able to fake her death and could still be alive somewhere.

Mike and his friends decide to believe in his theory that Eleven is alive, even though they will never know for sure, but the show leaves it up to the viewers to decide whether they believe too. It depicts Eleven arriving in a peaceful town, but it’s unclear whether this is real or just a visualization of Mike’s story.

On Happy Sad Confused, Matt Duffer revealed that the show’s writers considered whether they could have a “perfectly happy ending” where Eleven “marries Mike and lives a perfectly happy life,” but they “couldn’t find a way to make it work.” He also argued that telling the audience their interpretation “takes away the power of the ending.”

In other interviews after the final episode, the Duffers left Eleven’s fate ambiguous, saying that viewers, like the characters, would have to choose whether to believe Mike’s story.

“The characters and the audience don’t know because that would put Eleven in danger and her sacrifice was in vain,” Matt Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter. “So there’s a point in not knowing. The boys obviously chose to believe. I don’t know what the majority of people are thinking, but if you dip into social media a little bit, it seems like people are choosing to believe and trying to follow the path of Mike Wheeler.”

In a conversation with Netflix’s Chudom, Ross Duffer also argued that Eleven’s disappearance at the end of the series was thematically significant.

“She expresses magic and the magic of childhood in different ways,” he explained. “For our characters to move on and for the story of Hawkins and the Upside Down to end, Eleven had to go. We thought it would be beautiful if our characters continued to believe in that happy ending, even if we didn’t give them a clear answer as to whether it was true or not.”

Duffer added, “The fact that they believe in it, we just thought it was a really good way to end the story and a better way to express the end of this journey and the end of the journey from childhood to adulthood.”

Brown’s husband Jake Bongiovi seems to have decided on his interpretation of the ending. On Friday, he shared a photo on Instagram of Brown attending the finale screening and wrote, “I believe!”

Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro appears in Manhattan federal court on January 5th

Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro appears in Manhattan federal court on January 5th

Maduro will be indicted on a four-count indictment accusing him of leading a 25-year-old narco-terrorism conspiracy.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is scheduled to appear in federal court in New York at noon on January 5, according to the Media Office of the Southern District of New York.

Maduro will be charged in a four-count indictment accusing him of leading a 25-year-old narco-terrorism conspiracy that included several senior members of his regime.

He is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein in Manhattan.

President Maduro and his wife, Syria Adela Flores de Maduro, were captured in their home during a U.S. military offensive against Venezuela on January 3 and taken to the United States.

Maduro was indicted over the weekend on federal charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine and two counts of illegal weapons charges for allegedly helping to transport large amounts of cocaine into the United States over several decades. He arrived in New York late on the evening of January 3 and is being held in a detention center.

He was indicted along with his wife, son, and senior government officials. The indictment also seeks the seizure of property resulting from the alleged criminal conspiracy.

President Donald Trump, who ordered military entry into Venezuela to arrest the president and his wife, vowed that the United States would “run” the South American country until a democratic transition was achieved.

President Trump said at a press conference at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, that he will run the country until such time as there is a safe, proper and wise transition of power. “We have to be smart, because that’s what we’re all about.”

But Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on NBC’s Meet the Press on January 4, “We’re not implementing policy. We’re implementing policy.” He also said elections could take more than a month to hold.

“We want Venezuela to move in a certain direction, because we think that is not only good for the Venezuelan people, but also in the national interest.”

The operation marked a dramatic escalation in President Trump’s stance on Venezuela after months of heightened tensions, threats and the seizure of an oil tanker.

MTG claims President Trump has broken his ‘America first’ promise in Venezuela

MTG claims President Trump has broken his ‘America first’ promise in Venezuela

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed President Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela and the ouster of its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, calling it a significant departure from his “America First” campaign promise.

Greene, who had a public falling out with Trump earlier this year, criticized the military action as going against Trump’s pledge during the 2024 presidential campaign to end U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts.

Greene said she does not support Maduro’s leadership and is “happy” with the Venezuelan people, but expressed doubts that Maduro’s detention was connected to narcoterrorism or drug leaks, as Trump has suggested.

Greene argued on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if President Trump were interested in drug trafficking, he would focus on other organizations, such as Mexican cartels.

“This is the same Washington strategy that we’re tired of, and it’s not for the American people, it’s actually for big business, banks, oil executives,” Greene said on “Meet the Press.” “My understanding of America First is for the American people.”

Earlier this year, Greene announced plans to resign from Congress following a feud with Trump over the release of documents about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and an airstrike on a Venezuelan fishing boat that Trump claimed was carrying drugs. She will serve her final term on January 5th.

But her comments reflect a growing divide within Congress, including some Republicans, over the president’s actions in Venezuela.

Venezuelan oil interests

At a press conference, President Trump defended the attack as part of his America First policy and insisted that he wanted to protect Venezuela’s oil interests.

“We want to be surrounded by good neighbors. We want to be surrounded by stability. We want to be surrounded by energy,” President Trump told reporters. “There’s a huge amount of energy in that country, and it’s very important to protect it. We need it for ourselves and for the world.”

Venezuela has the largest oil reserves of any country in the world. But the reserves have been almost completely off-limits to American oil giants since Venezuela transferred them to state-owned companies in the mid-1970s. Chevron is the only American oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela.

President Trump has suggested that Maduro’s detention would open up Venezuela’s reserves to major U.S. oil and gas companies.

“We’re going to rebuild our oil infrastructure, and it’s going to cost billions of dollars,” Trump said. He said the costs would be “paid directly by the oil companies” but “will be reimbursed.”

Greene, Democrats and disgruntled Republicans have questioned the president’s motives and expressed concerns about the extent to which a U.S. president can order military action without authorization from Congress.

“We don’t think of Venezuela as a neighborhood. Our neighborhood is not in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s right in the 50 United States,” Trump said in response to President Trump’s comments on “Meet the Press.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has had previous feuds with Trump, similarly questioned the president’s decision to take over Venezuela.

“It’s a 25-page indictment, but it doesn’t mention fentanyl or stolen oil,” Massey wrote in a post on X, referring to the Justice Department’s indictment of Maduro.

Other Republicans have staunchly defended President Trump’s military operations as pro-American.

“President Trump has put American lives first, succeeded where other countries have failed, and under his leadership, America will no longer allow criminal regimes to profit from wreaking havoc and destruction on our country,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said in a statement on the X-Post.

The feud between President Trump and MTG

Greene, who was preparing to soon leave Congress, spoke on January 4 about her months-long feud with Trump, a former close ally, who called her a “pervert” and a “traitor.”

She claimed the president began lashing out at her after she began demanding the Justice Department release federal files on Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier accused of trafficking hundreds of underage girls.

The Justice Department began releasing thousands of pages of files in late December.

“My demands for transparency should never have led to the president I helped elect, and whom I supported more than almost every Republican in Washington, to call me a traitor. That is absolutely unacceptable,” Greene said on January 4.
