Olivia Blackmer died on Saturday (February 15) after being shot by her mother in Wyoming

The father of the seven-year-old girl, who was shot in the head in a murder-suicide by her mother, has spoken out following his daughter’s death.

Olivia Blackmer died on Saturday afternoon (February 15) five days after being taken to hospital following a gunshot wound to the head from her mother, Tranyelle Harshman.

After calling 911, Harshman, 32, shot Olivia and her sisters before she died of her injuries in hospital after turning the gun on herself.

Olivia’s sister, Brailey, 9, and two-year-old stepsisters, Brooke and Jordan, all died on February 10 at the scene of the crime in Wyoming.

Olivia survived and was taken to a local hospital before being airlifted to another facility for treatment, however, her death was confirmed by her father, Quinn Blackmer, who has since taken to Facebook to share a heartbreaking statement after losing his young daughter (via PEOPLE).

He wrote: “The amount of devastation we feel and are going through is so much. Please give all families involved our time and space during this extremely difficult time in our life.

“Funeral arrangements and updates to what we think the world needs to know will be on my Facebook but will also be on the GoFundMe.

“Speaking of that, from the bottom of our hearts we want to thank every single person that has donated and prayed and fasted for us and our family and our beautiful Olivia.

“Your kindness and generosity has been so much and we just ask that you continue to pray and keep us all in your thoughts.

“The peace I find is knowing that my babies don’t have to be apart from each other and they can also be with their other sisters.”

The dad had previously told KTVQ that he was ‘furious’ with Harshman, adding (via PEOPLE): “I’m trying my hardest to bury that for a while and to focus on the now, because that anger isn’t going to bring my child back.”

Olivia’s stepmom Katelynn Blackmer also shared the devastating news through a GoFundMe page setup to pay for Olivia’s medical expenses, as well as for the kids’ funeral arrangements.

“Olivia is with her sisters now. She gained her angel wings yesterday at 3:44pm. She fought so so hard up til the last minute! Her body and her brain had been through too much, medication helped but we reached a point where medical options were exhausted and her body only continued to get worse,” she wrote.

“She kept fighting through it all though until her heart stopped. We are grateful she hung on as long as she did so we could get some valuable time with our sweet baby girl the last five days. We want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support for our family.

“We are in a rough spot with the tragic passing of both daughters. We took time as a family to grieve and be in the moment before letting the world know but wanted to let you all know as we are thankful for all that you have done.”

Auchincloss: Trump nominated Hegseth because 'he wants yes men around him'

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) has strongly condemned the Trump administration’s Justice Department for its recent decision to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Speaking on NewsNation’s The Hill Sunday, Auchincloss argued that the move undermines the rule of law and represents a blatant example of political interference. During the interview, anchor Chris Stirewalt asked Auchincloss about the resignations of multiple top federal prosecutors who refused to comply with the order to dismiss the charges against Adams. “What I say about it is that this president is replacing the rule of law with the law of the ruler,” Auchincloss responded. “He came into office, he pardoned violent criminals from the Jan. 6 insurrection, including men who tased cops in the neck.

Those people are now recommitting crimes back in their communities. He fired inspectors general and federal prosecutors without cause, and now he is directly bullying the Southern District of New York to act in a corrupt manner,” he continued. The controversy erupted after Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove instructed prosecutors to dismiss all charges against Adams without reviewing the strength of the case. Bove defended the decision by claiming that the prosecution “improperly interfered” with Adams’s 2025 mayoral campaign and “unduly restricted” the mayor’s ability to focus on key issues such as illegal immigration and violent crime. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan had charged Adams in September with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national, and bribery. As his trial approached, Adams had moved closer to Trump politically, a shift that raised concerns about a possible quid pro quo. The abrupt dismissal of the charges only deepened those suspicions. The DOJ’s decision triggered immediate backlash and led to multiple resignations within the Southern District of New York. The interim U.S. attorney for Manhattan and several other prosecutors stepped down in protest, refusing to be part of what they saw as a politically motivated maneuver. Auchincloss praised the prosecutors for standing their ground, singling out Hagan Scotten, the assistant United States attorney who resigned rather than comply with the DOJ order. “That was the lead prosecutor on Eric Adams, and he resigned rather than pursue this corrupt path,” Auchincloss said. “And he said anybody who followed this order would be a fool or a coward. Now Hagan Scotten clerked for a conservative Supreme Court justice. He is no fool.

He is a decorated special forces officer. He’s no coward. Can Republicans answer the same? Because right now they look like both.”President Trump, when asked about the resignations, distanced himself from the case and dismissed the significance of the prosecutors stepping down.“I don’t know about it,” Trump said from the Oval Office on Friday. “Obviously, I’m not involved in that, but I would say this. If they had a problem — and these are mostly people from the previous administration, you understand. So they weren’t going to be there anyway.

Auchincloss: Trump 'replacing the rule of law with the law of the ruler'

They were all going to be gone or dismissed … because what you do is you come in and you put new people in.”He went on to downplay the controversy, suggesting that the resignations were inconsequential.“So when you say resigned, they were gonna be gone anyway,” Trump said. “But I know nothing about the individual case. I know that they didn’t feel it was much of a case. They also felt that it was unfair with the election.”Critics, including Auchincloss, have dismissed Trump’s explanation, arguing that the order to drop the charges was politically motivated and designed to reward Adams for his recent alignment with Trump.The Justice Department’s decision has also sparked broader concerns about the integrity of federal law enforcement under Trump. Legal experts and former DOJ officials have warned that using the department to protect political allies and punish opponents threatens the fundamental principles of justice.For Democrats, the episode serves as further evidence of what they see as Trump’s pattern of interfering with the justice system.They point to his history of granting pardons to political allies, firing inspectors general who investigated wrongdoing in his administration, and pressuring the DOJ to pursue investigations into his opponents.Meanwhile, Republicans have largely remained silent on the issue, avoiding direct criticism of the administration’s handling of the case. Some, however, have privately expressed concerns that such actions could undermine public trust in law enforcement and set a dangerous precedent for future administrations.The fallout from the Adams case is likely to continue in the coming weeks as congressional Democrats push for more oversight and accountability within the DOJ. Some lawmakers are already calling for an investigation into the decision-making process behind the dropped charges.The controversy underscores the deep divisions in Washington over the role of the Justice Department and whether it can remain independent under Trump’s leadership. While the administration insists that its actions are aimed at correcting past political abuses, critics argue that Trump is weaponizing the DOJ for his own benefit.

As the debate unfolds, one thing is clear: the decision to drop the charges against Adams has only intensified scrutiny of Trump’s approach to governance and his willingness to use federal power to advance his political interests.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen Criticizes Trump Administration’s ‘Mixed Messages’ on Ukraine

Shaheen says Trump administration gave 'mixed message' on Ukraine

PauseMuteLoaded: 6.92%Remaining Time -10:30Close Player   Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) expressed concern over what she described as contradictory statements from the Trump administration regarding Ukraine. Speaking in an interview on CBS News’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Shaheen argued that recent remarks from senior officials send conflicting signals about U.S. policy toward the ongoing war.“Well, I think it was a mixed [message] coming from the administration,” Shaheen told host Margaret Brennan.“On the one hand, you heard Secretary Hegseth saying they were gonna take NATO off the table, that Ukraine needed to give up territory, and on the other hand, you had Vice President Vance saying that everything should be on the table, including the possibility of putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. So, it’s a mixed message.”Her comments reflect broader concerns in Washington regarding how the Trump administration plans to navigate the Ukraine conflict, as President Trump has pushed for a negotiated settlement with Russia. On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed the Ukraine Contact Defense Group and stated that he does “not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.

”His remarks align with the administration’s recent diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing an end to the war. Additionally,  Hegseth indicated that Ukraine will likely not recover all of its lost territory from Russia, a statement that many in Congress see as a concession to Moscow. Vice President J.D. Vance has offered a different perspective, suggesting that military intervention remains an option to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into adhering to any ceasefire agreement. When asked by The Wall Street Journal about possible measures to enforce an agreement, Vance acknowledged that a range of economic and military tools could be considered.“There are instruments of pressure, absolutely,” Vance said. “And again, if you look at President Trump’s approach to this, the range of options is extremely broad. And there are economic tools of leverage. There [are], of course, military tools of leverage.”“There’s a whole host of things that we could do,” he continued. “But fundamentally,

I think the president wants to have a productive negotiation, both with Putin and with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky].”Vance also emphasized Trump’s opposition to Ukraine joining NATO, a position the former president has consistently held.“The president has been very clear that he doesn’t like the idea of moving Ukraine into NATO,” Vance said. “I also think the president is very clear that whenever he walks in a negotiation, everything is on the table.”The conflicting rhetoric from Hegseth and Vance underscores the broader challenge the administration faces as it attempts to broker a settlement while balancing support from Congress and U.S. allies.Trump has long criticized America’s financial and military assistance to Ukraine, arguing that European countries should take on a greater share of the burden.

February 15, 2025: Donald Trump presidency news | CNN Politics

His administration’s latest diplomatic push reflects that stance, even as lawmakers from both parties continue advocating for strong U.S. support for Kyiv.Shaheen pointed out that Congress remains committed to assisting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.“There is strong bipartisan support in Congress to help Ukraine in this unfair war that Russia has initiated,” she said.Her remarks highlight the growing divide between Trump’s administration, which is pushing for a swift resolution that may involve territorial concessions, and members of Congress who remain steadfast in backing Ukraine’s sovereignty.The Biden administration previously supported Ukraine’s efforts to fully reclaim occupied territories and advocated for its eventual NATO membership. The shift in tone under Trump has raised concerns among U.S. allies in Europe, who worry that any concessions to Russia could embolden further aggression.Despite internal disagreements, the Trump administration insists it is committed to ending the war in a way that prioritizes U.S. interests. Trump has claimed he could secure a deal quickly if given the opportunity, though details of his plan remain unclear.The mixed messaging from top officials, however, leaves key questions unanswered. If Ukraine’s NATO membership is no longer under consideration, and if the U.S. is open to some level of territorial compromise, what leverage remains to push Russia into a lasting peace?And how would U.S. lawmakers, particularly those who have backed strong military aid to Ukraine, react to such a shift in strategy?As negotiations continue, the Trump administration will need to clarify its position to avoid sending conflicting signals to allies, adversaries, and the American public.

With Congress remaining firm in its support for Ukraine, and the administration advocating for a settlement, tensions over the U.S. role in the conflict are likely to persist.

“I no longer feel comfortable or safe living in areas that don’t align with my values. It’s heartbreaking, but the current political climate leaves me no choice.”

Alyssa Milano Is Shifting to Blue State After Selling All Properties in Red States: “I Might Leave the US”

Actress and activist Alyssa Milano has made headlines once again, announcing a dramatic shift in her living arrangements and hinting at even bigger changes to come. Milano, who has been a vocal advocate for progressive causes, revealed she is selling all her properties in Republican-leaning states and moving to a blue state, citing increasing political and cultural tensions as the driving force behind her decision.

Picture background

A Bold Move Amid Growing Divisions

Milano’s decision comes after years of expressing frustration with the policies and leadership in red states. She has frequently criticized these states for their stances on issues such as abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and gun control.

In a recent interview, Milano shared her concerns:

“I no longer feel comfortable or safe living in areas that don’t align with my values. It’s heartbreaking, but the current political climate leaves me no choice.”

While Milano hasn’t disclosed her new destination, insiders speculate she’s looking at blue-state havens such as California or New York, both of which align closely with her progressive ideologies.

Hints of Leaving the US Altogether

Perhaps even more surprising than her relocation within the U.S. is Milano’s statement that she’s considering leaving the country entirely.

“If things continue to go in this direction, I might leave the U.S. altogether,” she said. “I want my family to grow up in a place where equality and compassion are priorities.”

This remark has fueled speculation about whether Milano might follow other high-profile figures who’ve made similar moves in recent years.

Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics

Milano’s announcement has sparked a wide range of reactions. Supporters praised her for standing by her beliefs and making a personal statement against policies she opposes.

“Alyssa is doing what many of us wish we could do,” said one fan on social media. “She’s putting her money where her mouth is.”

Critics, however, accused her of being out of touch with everyday Americans and questioned the practicality of her decision. Some even called it a publicity stunt.

“This is just another example of Hollywood elites trying to make a statement that no one asked for,” one detractor tweeted.

What This Means for Her Career

Picture background

Milano’s move could also impact her career, as she has been an outspoken advocate for using her platform to effect change. Relocating to a blue state—or even another country—might influence the projects she chooses and the roles she takes on in the future.

With her latest announcement, Milano has once again solidified her place as a polarizing figure in American culture. Whether her decision inspires others or adds to the divisions she criticizes remains to be seen.

Conclusion

Alyssa Milano’s bold choice to leave red states and possibly the U.S. entirely is a reflection of the deep political and cultural divides in the country. As she prepares for this next chapter, one thing is clear: Milano remains committed to her principles, regardless of the backlash.

The actress ended her statement with a message to her supporters:

“We can’t be afraid to fight for what we believe in, even if it means making difficult choices.

Russia announces total withdrawal of troops from Nagorno-Karabakh

 

Russia will pull out all of its nearly 2,000 troops from Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region, the Kremlin said in a surprise announcement just six months after they watched a forced mass exodus of the region’s Armenian population.

Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed the withdrawal Wednesday, according to Russian state newswire TASS.

Under the terms of a 2020 cease-fire between Azerbaijan and Armenia, 1,960 Russian soldiers as well as hundreds of units of armored personnel carriers and other military equipment were stationed in the region. They had a peacekeeping mandate until at least the end of 2025, but Moscow is directing all available resources into its war on Ukraine.

The mountainous area, situated inside Azerbaijan’s international borders, had been governed by its ethnic Armenian inhabitants as the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic since a war which followed the fall of the Soviet Union.

However, the Russian military contingent did not intervene when Azerbaijan began a long-running blockade of the region’s supply lines from December 2022, sparking a humanitarian crisis. Moscow’s forces also retreated from their positions between the two sides in September last year, moments before Azerbaijan began a surprise offensive to take full control of the breakaway region. Virtually all of the 100,000 Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh fled their homes in the aftermath.

In December, Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the general staff of Russia’s armed forces, said that “our military contingent continues to carry out tasks as a guarantor of the possibility of building a peaceful life and the return of residents to the region.” But no mechanism has been put in place by which refugees can return home.

News of the pullout comes amid a growing rift has emerged between Armenia and its historic ally Russia. The South Caucasus country recently spurned Moscow by freezing its membership in Russia’s CSTO military bloc before staging joint military drills with the United States. Yerevan is also pushing for closer integration with the European Union.

In a world where technology, innovation, and business often dominate headlines, Elon Musk, the visionary billionaire behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, has taken a step back from his high-profile ventures to focus on something truly personal: love. Recently, Elon Musk and his wife embarked on a dreamy escape to celebrate their enduring bond, leaving fans and followers intrigued about the details of their romantic journey. This article dives deep into the story behind their trip, exploring the significance of their getaway, the destinations they chose, and what it reveals about their relationship.

### **A Break from the Hustle: Why This Trip Matters**

For someone as busy as Elon Musk, taking time off is a rare luxury. Known for his relentless work ethic and groundbreaking contributions to industries like space exploration, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence, Musk’s schedule is often packed with meetings, product launches, and global summits. However, even the most driven individuals need moments of respite—and this trip was precisely that for Musk and his wife.

The couple’s decision to embark on a romantic adventure speaks volumes about the importance of nurturing relationships amidst life’s chaos. In today’s fast-paced world, many people struggle to find time for their loved ones due to demanding careers or other commitments. By prioritizing this special getaway, Musk sends a powerful message: no matter how successful you are, your personal connections should always remain a priority.

This journey wasn’t just about escaping the daily grind; it was an opportunity for the couple to reconnect, reflect, and create lasting memories together. Whether it was strolling hand-in-hand through picturesque landscapes or sharing quiet moments under starlit skies, every aspect of their trip seemed designed to strengthen their bond.

### **The Destination: Where Did They Go?**

While exact details about their destination remain somewhat elusive, sources suggest that the couple chose a location known for its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. Some speculate they visited a secluded island paradise, while others believe they explored a charming European city steeped in history and romance. Regardless of the specific locale, one thing is certain: the setting played a crucial role in making their experience unforgettable.

Imagine pristine beaches lapped by turquoise waters, lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see, and luxurious accommodations offering unparalleled comfort. Or perhaps cobblestone streets lined with quaint cafes, centuries-old architecture, and vibrant local culture provided the backdrop for their romantic escapade. Whatever the case, the destination perfectly complemented the purpose of their trip—a celebration of love.

Choosing such a place reflects not only their desire for privacy but also their appreciation for environments that inspire awe and tranquility. After all, when you’re commemorating something as profound as love, the surroundings matter just as much as the emotions shared between two people.

### **The Activities: A Blend of Adventure and Relaxation**

What sets this trip apart from typical vacations is the balance between adventure and relaxation. For a dynamic duo like Elon Musk and his wife, monotony simply isn’t an option. Instead, they embraced activities that catered to both their adventurous spirits and their need for downtime.

Reports indicate that the couple indulged in thrilling experiences such as helicopter tours over stunning vistas, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or even embarking on a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. These adrenaline-pumping adventures allowed them to share exhilarating moments while creating stories they’ll cherish forever.

On the flip side, they also made time for more laid-back pursuits. Picture cozy dinners overlooking the ocean, leisurely walks along scenic trails, or simply lounging by the pool with a good book. Such moments of calm offered them the chance to unwind and savor each other’s company without distractions.

One particularly heartwarming detail? The couple reportedly planned surprises for each other throughout the trip. From handwritten notes tucked into suitcases to impromptu date nights under the stars, these thoughtful gestures added an extra layer of magic to their already enchanting journey.

### **The Symbolism Behind the Trip**

Beyond the surface-level allure of exotic destinations and exciting activities lies a deeper meaning behind this romantic getaway. For Elon Musk and his wife, this trip symbolizes more than just a vacation—it represents a reaffirmation of their commitment to each other.

In an era where long-term relationships face numerous challenges, seeing a couple like Musk and his wife prioritize quality time together serves as a reminder of what truly matters. Their willingness to step away from their respective responsibilities to focus on their partnership highlights the value of mutual support, understanding, and effort in maintaining a healthy relationship.

Moreover, the timing of their trip—coinciding with a milestone anniversary or a significant moment in their lives—adds another layer of significance. It’s not just about celebrating the past; it’s about looking forward to the future and envisioning the next chapter of their journey together.

### **Lessons We Can Learn from Their Story**

Elon Musk and his wife’s romantic escape offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to nurture their own relationships. Here are a few key takeaways:

1. **Prioritize Quality Time:** No matter how busy life gets, carving out dedicated time for your partner is essential. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a simple dinner at home, being present makes all the difference.
2. **Embrace New Experiences Together:** Trying new things as a couple fosters connection and keeps the spark alive. Whether it’s traveling to unfamiliar places or learning a new skill, shared experiences deepen your bond.
3. **Celebrate Milestones:** Don’t let important anniversaries or achievements pass unnoticed. Taking the time to acknowledge these moments shows your partner that you value them and the journey you’ve shared.
4. **Balance Adventure with Relaxation:** A mix of excitement and calm ensures that both partners feel fulfilled during their time together. Striking this balance creates a well-rounded and memorable experience.
5. **Be Thoughtful and Intentional:** Small gestures, like planning surprises or expressing gratitude, go a long way in showing your partner how much you care.

### **Why This Story Captivates Us**

At its core, the story of Elon Musk and his wife’s romantic adventure resonates because it taps into universal themes of love, connection, and human vulnerability. Despite his larger-than-life persona and immense influence, Musk is, at heart, a person who values the same things we all do: meaningful relationships, cherished memories, and the joy of sharing life’s wonders with someone special.

Their journey reminds us that love transcends fame, fortune, and status. It’s a force that unites us, motivates us, and gives our lives depth and purpose. And perhaps that’s why so many people are captivated by this tale—not just because it involves one of the most influential figures of our time, but because it speaks to something inherently human.

### **Love Knows No Bounds**

Elon Musk and his wife’s dreamy escape to celebrate their love is more than just a glamorous vacation; it’s a testament to the power of prioritizing relationships in a world filled with distractions. From the carefully chosen destination to the blend of adventure and relaxation, every element of their trip reflects their dedication to nurturing their bond.

As we reflect on their story, we’re reminded that love, in all its forms, deserves to be celebrated.

Viewers spot Kevin Costner's reaction to Ryan Reynolds joke about wife Blake Lively during SNL special

Many people related to Costner when Reynolds started speaking

Ryan Reynolds has caused a bit of a stir as he seemed to make a joke about his wife, Blake Lively’s, legal battle with Justin Baldoni over the weekend.

The couple made an appearance at the Saturday Night Live (SNL) 50th Anniversary special last night (16 February) as people are pointing out the reaction from Kevin Costner as he began chatting.

Lively and Reynolds are both involved in lawsuits with Baldoni at the moment, following the summer movie, It Ends With Us. And it’s been pretty hard to ignore with much of the details being brought up publicly.

But the Deadpool star may have continued that when he seemed to poke fun at the situation during SNL alumni Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s Q&A.

Out of the celebrity-packed audience, he stood up to say ‘I have a question’ with Fey asking: “Oh, Ryan Reynolds, how’s it going?”

And appearing to mock the whole on-going legal drama, he replied with a straight face: “Great – why, what have you heard?”

This was met with laughter in the studio as he went on to ask about the classic SNL Coneheads sketches.

But some eagle-eyed viewers have spotted a particular reaction from Kevin Costner, sat not far behind Reynolds.

While much of the audience smile and applaud him as the actor stands up, it seems the Yellowstone star’s eyes are firmly on Lively with no smile on his face.

Costner seems to be almost grimacing as he waits to see her reaction to Reynold’s comment, which also seemingly saw a bit of a shift in her demeanour.

Users took to social media to say: “Kevin Costner’s face said it all.”

“Loving Kevin Costner in the background. He is clearly not amused!” one wrote.

Meanwhile, many viewers said he was ‘thoroughly unimpressed’ by Reynolds as another said he was ‘not falling for it’.

One also added that they reckon Costner’s reaction made the star ‘look like a fool’ for making the joke, as some think it was inappropriate.

Lively’s team filed a lawsuit against Baldoni back in December, accusing him of sexual harassment and attempting to launch a smear campaign against her.

His team then filed on his behalf last month, claiming defamation against her and Reynolds. Baldoni’s attorney claims Lively and her team took certain measures to gain control over It Ends With Us.

His team call her claims ‘categorically false’, while her’s say his lawsuit is ‘another chapter in the abuser playbook’.

Since then, alleged texts messages , behind-the-scenes footage and a voice note have been released.

Pub landlady speaks out after woman shot dead on Valentine’s Day by man ‘known' to victim

The suspect is believed to have been known to the victim

The landlady of a pub where a woman was shot dead on Valentine’s Day has spoken out about the situation.

A woman thought to be in her 40s was shot on 14 February at the Three Horseshoes pub in the Kent village of Knockholt.

The victim has since been identified as 43 year old Lisa Smith from Slough.

Police were called to the pub just after 7pm on Valentine’s Day and attended along with the South East Coast Ambulance Service, though the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A murder investigation was launched, with the suspect being a man who officers believe the victim knew, and a vehicle containing a gun was found on the Queen Elizabeth II bridge which spans the River Thames.

Police later received reports of a man on the wrong side of the barrier and investigators believe he may have entered the water.

Speaking to Sky News, she said that she’d been busy printing off menus and getting things ready for the Valentine’s Day dinner service when she heard two loud bangs, which she at first mistook for fireworks.

She said: “There was so much commotion – screaming, shouting, crying. People were outside, on their phones. We tried to get people inside the pub to consolidate them.

“People were only just starting to sit down, it was early on in the evening.”

Thomas explained that an off-duty police officer had been in the pub and had been ‘amazing’ at getting the situation under control with around 30 people sitting down for dinner and another 20 at the bar.

The landlady said that Smith, who was shot and killed at the Three Horseshoes, had been to the pub before ‘mostly in the summer’, but ‘wasn’t a regular’.

Flowers have been laid outside the pub for Smith and the murder investigation is ongoing.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector David Higham, said at the weekend that they were looking into one suspect and don’t believe the rest of the public are at risk.

He said: “Call handlers received reports of a man on the wrong side of the barrier and we are not ruling out the possibility that he may have entered the water.

“We are currently only looking for one suspect and do not believe there to be an ongoing risk to the public.

“Specialist officers continue to work with the families of both parties involved to support them following this tragic incident.”

The parents, who cannot be identified, were sentenced in Perth’s District Court of Western Australia with the father receiving six-and-a-half years in prison and the mother getting a lower sentence of five years on account of ‘personal circumstances’.

The court heard from witnesses that the parents treated their teenage daughter, who also cannot be identified, like a small child, taking her to the bathroom, blowing her nose for her and having her watch children’s cartoons, CNN reports.

Her father also forged her birth certificate – which he pleaded guilty to – to make her seem two years younger than she actually was, though they denied the other charges.

Judge Linda Black ruling over the case said their house didn’t contain anything ‘remotely age-appropriate’ for the girl.

“This is not a case about a malnourished ballerina,” the judge said of this case as she spoke to the parents.

“You isolated your daughter, you prevented her from growing up, you prevented her from developing in the way she was entitled to.

“You did keep her as a little girl long beyond the age where she should have been.”

The girl was home-schooled, though her parents would take her out to ballet lessons, and the judge said that besides her parents, everybody who saw ‘understood she was severely malnourished’.

Eventually the girl’s ballet teachers contacted officials, and when she was taken to see a doctor, they found she had ‘brittle and thin’ hair, ‘dry and flaking’ skin and ‘was exhibiting no signs of puberty’.

She was placed in state custody after her parents refused to allow doctors to insert a nasal tube to feed the girl, who gained weight after her mother and father could no longer block her from eating.

The girl’s father said that his daughter had been a ‘fussy eater’, and his legal representative told CNN: “This was never a case about withholding food from a child.

“My client didn’t starve his kid … He never withheld food from her. He loved and spoiled his daughter. She was free to eat as much as she wanted. This case was about inadequate nutrition from a vegan diet.

“Every parent on this planet knows that if you don’t give a child enough food they will starve. But what if your kid chooses to be vegan?”

The court heard that the child had gone vegetarian when she was eight and went full vegan as a teenager, with the parents saying she had three meals a day and they didn’t believe she was malnourished.

During the trial, Judge Black said it was clear that the girl’s parents loved their daughter but didn’t show it, telling ‘a cascading series of lies’ to cover up her actual age.

The girl had sent a letter to the judge asking for the prosecution of her parents to be stopped, saying she was ‘fully dependent’ on them and that she didn’t think she’d be able to cope without them.

Oh come on, TV watchers should be used to the sight of a ding-a-ling by now

A new series of The White Lotus is in the process of releasing as the first episode of season three dropped yesterday (16 February) with fans getting a good look at the new cast.

This time the action has moved from Sicily to another resort in Thailand where a whole new bunch of guests are staying, including the wealthy Ratliff family.

There’s pressured patriarch Timothy (Jason Isaacs), his wife Victoria (Parker Posey), their daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) along with sons Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola).

Joining the family at the resort are mysterious man Rick (Walton Goggins), his much younger girlfriend Chelsea (Aimee Lou-Wood) and girls trip trio Kate (Leslie Bibb), Laurie (Carrie Coon) and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan).

There’s surely plenty for this crop of guests to go through in the latest season of The White Lotus, and among those is a burgeoning plot with the brothers.

The family are staying in three rooms, so one for the parents, one for the daughter and one for the brothers Saxon and Lochlan where they started discussing some rather weird things.

Saxon said his sister was ‘pretty hot’ and then asked his younger brother what sort of porn he likes, which is pretty f**king weird, before wondering how they’re going to choke the proverbial chicken when sharing a room.

The older brother then said he’d ‘just go to the bathroom’ and strides into it fully nude, which got quite a response from viewers at home, while Lochlan watched him go which made them feel ‘grossed out’ in a different way.

Fans have said the season opener was ‘so good but weird’, and that the ‘creepy’ show was ‘off to a crazy start’ with everything going on in the scene.

On the other hand, some of the reactions to The White Lotus were not so much ‘grossed out’ as quite appreciative of the people involved with the show for casting Patrick Schwarzenegger.

One person who isn’t fazed is Patrick’s dad Arnold, who plugged the show and said he couldn’t pretend to be surprised that his son has a nude scene in the opening episode.

The proud dad said: “I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere.

“What a show! I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Don’t miss it this Sunday – trust me.”

There were also people who seemed to like the potential incest plot line between the brothers, posting that they’re ‘LIVING’ for what The White Lotus is doing.

Plaza introduced a musical act at the SNL 50th anniversary show

Warning: This article contains discussion of suicide which some readers may find distressing.

Actress Aubrey Plaza was present at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary event in New York City on Sunday (16 February), and took the moment to honour her late husband, Jeff Baena.

Plaza and film director Baena were in a relationship from 2011 to 2021, before making it official with a private ceremony on a whim.

On Friday (3 January), it was announced that Baena had passed away, with Los Angeles’ County Medical Examiner’s Office revealing the 47-year-old’s cause of death to be suicide, after he was discovered at his Los Angeles home on the morning of 3 January at around 10.30am.

Plaza appeared at the landmark SNL event over the weekend, as the White Lotus actor introduced one of many music acts, as Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard took the stage.

However, many couldn’t help but notice the actor’s outfit choice and the significance behind it.

In the Parks and Recreation star’s first public appearance since his passing, she could be seen sporting a black blazer with a tie-dye shirt beneath it.

Fans of the couple were quick to point out that the tie-dye shirt in particular was in tribute to her late husband, as Plaza had previously revealed that he loved to tie-dye clothes – in fact, they’d worn these designs for their own wedding.

While on The Drew Barrymore Show in December 2021, Plaza revealed that the pair weren’t in traditional dress for the wedding at their home, instead wearing tie-die pyjamas made by Baena himself.

She said (via The Independent): “We got married on a whim. Literally decided at around 5pm and got married at 8:30,

“Jeff got really into tie-dyeing during the quarantine. So, I decided that Jeff and I were going to wear tie-dye pajamas that he had made for us. I made a love altar in the backyard of all of our love objects. It was very witchcore, but it happened.”

Plaza and Baena worked together numerous times during their relationship, as Plaza starred in Baena’s horror-comedy Life After Beth, as well as other titles such as Spin Me Round and The Little Hours.

Following Baena’s untimely death, the Plaza and Baena/Stern family released a statement, reading: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support.

“Please respect our privacy during this time.”

Plaza’s team also said in a statement: “The family is devastated and asks for privacy at this difficult time.”
