Pete Davidson has opened up about the lasting impact of Ariana Grande’s viral joke about his manhood. The pair had a whirlwind romance in 2018, but after Grande’s “10 inches” quip, Davidson says the focus shifted from his work to his private life.

Speaking on The Breakfast Club, the comedian admitted he felt “embarrassed” during his SNL years. “No one talked about my work… They were like, ‘Oh, that’s the guy,’” he said. He explained that the unwanted attention affected his dating life and career, adding, “If that was a girl, there’d be a march for it.”

Davidson also reflected on how the “big d*** energy” label started, saying it came from dating “someone out of my league” before others confirmed it. While ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian also joked about the rumor, Davidson insists he never leaned into the hype.

“On paper, it sounds great,” he laughed, “but it’s Hollywood—everyone dates everyone. Why focus on me?” His story is a reminder that public jokes can leave personal scars long after the laughter fades.

BBC investigators say Charles Mwesigwa, a former London bus driver, bragged about having 25 “open-minded” women available. He allegedly told an undercover reporter, “They can do pretty much everything,” adding that a night with one costs $1,000 — with “crazy stuff” costing more.

Several women claim they were lured to Dubai with promises of jobs, only to be forced into sex work. Some were allegedly pressured to attend degrading parties where wealthy men performed disturbing fetishes. “You have no escape route,” a former insider said.

When asked about the parties, Mwesigwa reportedly said, “I will send you the craziest I have.” He even claimed he would keep running the ring “even if I won a million pounds.”

Do these revelations prove authorities should crack down harder on Dubai’s underground sex trade — or is this just the tip of the iceberg?

The 46-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star asked fans to “pray for Charlie Kirk, his wife, and kids” after the activist was shot during a Utah event on September 10. Some Marvel fans criticized Pratt, accusing him of ignoring other tragedies.

In response, Pratt shared a Bible verse and encouraged followers to pause, pray, and connect with loved ones. “Go get some sunshine. Touch grass. Call a friend,” he said.

While some comments remained negative, others praised Pratt for spreading positivity. “This is exactly what we need right now,” one user wrote.

Should celebrities stay silent on divisive figures — or speak from the heart, even if it sparks backlash?

FBI officials confirmed Robinson, 22, lived with transgender roommate and partner Lance Twiggs in St. George, Utah. Twiggs is cooperating with investigators and turned over text messages that allegedly detail Robinson’s plans — including retrieving a rifle and changing clothes to avoid detection.

Authorities say Robinson confessed to his father after seeing his image on the news. His father, with the help of a family pastor, convinced him to surrender. The FBI later recovered a high-powered rifle, engraved bullets, and other evidence, which are being analyzed at Quantico.

Utah’s governor revealed that the bullet engravings referenced internet memes and video game culture. “Memes are meant for in-group communication,” explained digital culture professor Jamie Cohen, noting they may hold hidden meaning.

Robinson is being held without bail and faces charges including aggravated murder. Utah officials are considering the death penalty.

Do you think capital punishment is the right outcome in this high-profile case?

Controversial transgender author Gretchen Felker-Martin is doubling down after being fired for mocking Charlie Kirk’s murder.

Felker-Martin, whose Red Hood comic series was canceled by DC Comics, defended her post saying, “[I] hope the bullet’s OK.” On Patreon, she described Kirk’s “sneering face” and claimed his “cruelty will linger like a bad smell for decades.”

DC Comics swiftly cut ties, saying posts that promote hostility or violence “are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct.” Retailers were asked to pull the debut comic from shelves and offer refunds.

Felker-Martin previously sparked outrage by saying she wanted to slit J.K. Rowling’s throat and praising Osama Bin Laden’s “principled” 9/11 attacks. Despite criticism, she refused to retract her comments about Kirk, claiming she was exposing “violent white supremacy.”

Do you think DC made the right call canceling her comic — or was this a step too far?

The University of Toronto placed professor Ruth Marshall on leave after a vulgar post about the shooting. The school said the matter is under investigation and gave no further comment.

In New Jersey, a surgeon resigned after a nurse reported his remark that Kirk “had it coming.” The hospital said, “We have accepted the physician’s resignation,” and confirmed the nurse keeps her pay and shifts. A Secret Service agent was also put on leave for calling the death “karma.” “The US Secret Service will not tolerate behavior that violates our code of conduct,” the agency said.

Other fallout grew fast: a Tennessee professor faces termination, a pastor’s sermon drew fire, a newspaper apologized for a cartoon, and a charity dismissed a board member over posts. Emotions remain high as institutions stress civility and public trust.

Free speech matters—but so do standards. Did employers act fairly here, or are we watching a new wave of cancel culture?

NOAA confirmed a major G3 geomagnetic storm struck late Sunday night, followed by a G2 storm today. “Think of it like a hurricane for Earth’s magnetic field,” experts said. These storms can cause grid fluctuations, satellite issues, and radio blackouts.

Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service saw massive outages overnight, with more than 50,000 reports from users. Problems stretched from Missouri to New York, and some lasted over an hour.

The activity may continue until 2 p.m. ET and could be felt in Alaska, Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, and other northern states. The storms were caused by a solar eruption on September 11.

While most Americans won’t notice major effects, northern skywatchers may see brilliant auroras. “Go somewhere dark and face north,” NOAA advised.

Would you prepare for future solar storms if they became stronger — or just enjoy the Northern Lights?

Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy continue to inspire as friends share stories about his journey and family.

Growing up in Chicago’s Democratic suburbs, Kirk stood out as a teen conservative. His sister Mary, 29, eventually became a Bernie Sanders supporter, but friends say their differences never divided the family. “He loved having those debates, even with family,” said financial backer Gary Rabine.

Friends remember Kirk as loyal, humble, and deeply faithful. “He was brilliant without going to Harvard or Princeton. He loved God, loved his country,” said former TPUSA staffer Peter Christos. Another friend added, “He was unbelievably loyal. He always stopped to lift up others.”

Kirk, 31, was assassinated while speaking at a Utah Turning Point USA event. His supporters say his passion for defending free speech and students’ rights will live on.

Do you think Charlie Kirk’s story will inspire the next generation of young conservatives?

Health officials have confirmed two new measles cases in New York City, sparking renewed warnings for parents.

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said the cases were found in the Lower East Side and SoHo. The city’s health department is contacting anyone who may have been exposed and urging testing. “This should remind all parents to make sure their kids are vaccinated,” Levine wrote.

New York City has one of the nation’s highest measles vaccination rates, with 98% of kindergarteners fully immunized. But Levine warned there are still “pockets of resistance,” particularly in some religious communities.

The cases come as the U.S. faces its biggest measles outbreak since 1992, with 1,454 infections across 42 states this year. Three people, including two children, have died.

Measles spreads easily through the air, and unvaccinated people have a 90% risk of infection after exposure.

Are vaccination rates enough to keep New Yorkers safe, or could more cases be coming?

Shocking details have emerged about the man accused of killing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train.

Police identified 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. as the suspect. He is a career criminal with schizophrenia and at least 14 prior arrests. Authorities say he stabbed Zarutska, 23, in August while she rode the city’s light rail.

Court records reveal Brown Jr. comes from a family with a long criminal history. His brother Stacey is serving 27–36 years for murder and armed robbery. His sister Tracey was arrested in 2024 for felony conspiracy and theft. Their father also faced charges for breaking and entering and weapons possession.

Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed justice. “Iryna Zarutska was living the American dream — her horrific murder is unforgivable,” she said. “He will never again see the light of day as a free man.”

This tragedy has sparked outrage online, with many questioning why Brown Jr. was released earlier this year. Do you think this case proves soft-on-crime policies are failing victims?
