A judge in Georgia on Monday ordered actor and singer Tyrese Gibson jailed over failure to make child support payments. Gibson, 45, owed $73,525.73 in child support, according to the order. Court documents in the case indicate he is legally appealing having to pay $10,690 per month in child support, which is the same amount Gibson was paying in child support for another child from another relationship, according to court records. "Mr. Gibson has chosen not to abide by the court’s child support order and he was held in willful contempt now for the third time," Gleklen said. "He only paid full child support three times in 20 months.”Less than 10 minutes after the judge ordered Gibson jailed, his attorneys appealed the decision, Gleklen said.

The news that Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife and bandmate, has multiple myeloma is bringing attention to the rare blood cancer. Multiple myeloma affects plasma cells, a type of white blood cell produced in the bone marrow. “Myeloma treatment is a marathon,” said Dr. Manni Mohyuddin, a multiple myeloma specialist at the University of Utah’s Huntsman Cancer Institute. Multiple myeloma is twice as common among Black people than white people in the U.S., and mortality rates among Black Americans are twice as high. In many cases, people with multiple myeloma are still able to pursue normal activities.

The rock group The White Stripes have filed suit against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign for its use of the band's megahit "Seven Nation Army" in a since-deleted campaign video. White Stripes drummer Meg White is also listed as a plaintiff in the suit, which charges Trump and the campaign with "flagrant misappropriation." The duo seek unspecified monetary damages and an injunction preventing Trump from using their songs. A Trump campaign spokesperson, as well as a legal representative for the former president, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Jack White had foreshadowed the suit in an Instagram post a week ago after a Trump campaign staffer posted the video to social media Aug. 29, writing on Instagram: “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists.

Harvey Weinstein had heart surgery Monday after he complained of health issues and was moved from a New York City jail to a hospital, a representative for the disgraced movie mogul said. Weinstein, whose 2020 rape conviction was overturned in April, remained in recovery at the intensive care unit at Bellevue Hospital on Monday night, said the representative, Craig Rothfeld. Weinstein was moved from Rikers Island jail to the hospital after complaining that he didn’t feel well and had experienced significant weight gain from medication, Rothfeld said.

In July, Weinstein was hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions” and tested positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia, his representative said.

The late-stage trial results from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial showed that the overall survival rate from the new drug "did not reach statistical significance," the company said.

Even with all the challenges it brings as a parent, I have zero interest in ever working in an office again. It took my kids a while to understand that "going to work" means leaving the house for most people. One of us often had to work less to make it work, and we've each taken turns. Remote work has proven that office irritations are not a requirement for making a living, and I am happy to give them up. It would be a mistake to destroy all the hard-won progress we've made in making remote work a viable option by enforcing strict RTO policies.

The European Union flag is seen with Google's logo. Europe's top court on Tuesday upheld a 2.4 billion euro ($2.65 billion) fine imposed on Google for abusing its dominant position by favoring its own shopping comparison service. The fine stems from an antitrust investigation by the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, which concluded in 2017. Google appealed the decision with the General Court, the EU's second-highest court, which also upheld the fine. Google then brought the case before the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the EU's top court.

A Colorado man on a river trip to the Grand Canyon was found dead over the weekend, officials said Monday, in what appears to be the seventh death at the park since July 31. Patrick Horton, 59, was on day 10 of a noncommercial trip along the Colorado River when others in his party found his body Saturday morning near the river, the park said in a news release. The Grand Canyon recorded an average of 17 deaths per year from 2014 to 2023, a park spokeswoman has said. Since 2019, 2 million to 5 million people have visited the Grand Canyon each year, park data shows. Park data that looked at mortality reports from 2014 to 2019 shows that "photographing" was the most lethal recreational activity at the Grand Canyon.

"If I wasn't Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up" and "put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket," Hill told NBC News. Hill was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license, said his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

The officer who has been put on administrative duty is a 25-year veteran of the department, according to the union. “When the officers were trying to talk to him, he was being very uncooperative,” Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, told NBC South Florida.
