Juror's Shocking Reenactment Leaves Lindsay Clancy Trial in Turmoil New

Juror's Shocking Reenactment Leaves Lindsay Clancy Trial in Turmoil

A male juror in the mistrial of Lindsay Clancy said the lone holdout on the 12-person panel wrapped one of the exercise bands the mom used to kill her children around a water bottle to mimic their strangulation in the deliberation room.Juror number 10 Nick Dargie said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless.“I was so shocked. We’re not here to play detective – it’s not a game of Clue.

Mariska Hargitay Shares the Magical Vows from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Wedding New

Mariska Hargitay Shares the Magical Vows from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Wedding

Mariska Hargitay is still on cloud nine after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. The Law & Order: SVU icon, 62, was on hand for the couple’s July 3 nuptials at Madison Square Garden in New York City with her husband, Peter Hermann, and shared details from the special night during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, September 9. “I did [go to the wedding],” Hargitay shared. “And I’m still floating from that wedding.” She added, “It was so spectacular and so intimate, I have to say. I have to say, I am blown away, because when there’s a wedding with that many guests, you think, ‘OK, it’s gonna be that.’ And it just wasn’t.” According to Hargitay, Swift and Kelce, both 36, managed to turn MSG, which has a capacity of 20,000 people, into a sweet and intimate venue for their guests. “I even say that the vows were my favorite part of the whole wedding. It was that magical,” Hargitay revealed. Back in June, Hargitay and Swift were seen sporting matching T-shirts when they were front row to support the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Both stars wore cute shirts that read “Stevie Knicks” in the Knicks’ trademark blue and orange colors. “It was pretty spectacular. I had run from my theater — I was doing a play at the time — [I] physically ran from my theater to the game,” Hargitay recalled on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! She said, “We were sitting together and I was wearing a black T-shirt, and Taylor, being the prepared woman that she is, was like, ‘I got you.’ Basically handed [the shirt] to me, I put it on, and that was the end of it.” Swift and Hargitay’s friendship became over a decade ago when Swift named her cat Olivia Benson after the actress’ SVU character. They have been close friends ever since, with Hargitay appearing in Swift’s iconic “Bad Blood” music video in 2015. “It was so fun. It’s the best music video,” the actress gushed in a June 2025 interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “That was the most fun, being in the squad with all the cool girls and supermodels. It was the most fun ever.” “I learned so much from her,” Hargitay added, calling Swift a “boss lady” who was “warm and smart and kind.” “That’s what I love about her is [that] she’s so young, but she shows us in such beautiful ways how to be fearless,” she shared.

Trump's $5,000 Promise: Why Americans Are Skeptical New

Trump's $5,000 Promise: Why Americans Are Skeptical

President Donald Trump announced a major financial proposal at the Republican Party's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. He pledged that every adult citizen in the United States would receive a $5,000 payout if the Republican Party wins control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the upcoming November midterm elections. The proposal carries a massive price tag for the federal government. With nearly 270 million adult citizens in the nation, providing $5,000 to each individual would total roughly $1.3 trillion. The announcement drew strong reactions, with political opponents calling it an empty gesture and analysts raising immediate questions regarding its implementation and legality. The announcement comes as the public deals with economic pressures and rising consumer prices across the nation. Financial strain has grown following ongoing military conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran . The regional conflict has severely impacted energy routes, particularly near the Strait of Hormuz, causing global oil price fluctuations that continue to affect standard living expenses for American families. President Donald Trump. Credit: Anadolu / Getty Skeptical reaction on social media Despite the bold pitch, everyday Americans took to social media to raise a familiar grievance. Many pointed out that previous promises of federal payouts never actually materialized , leading voters to ask what makes this new offer any different. Critical reactions flooded online platforms shortly after the address. One person wrote on X: "What happened to the $2,000 that's owed to us from the past now $5,000. More B.S." Another user echoed that skepticism regarding past commitments. "He promised $2,000 checks during the presidential election. Of course, they never arrived," the individual posted. A third went even further, dismissing the pledge as a political maneuver. "Trump trying to buy the midterms by lying to the American people. No one received the $2,000 checks he promised. The guy is a two-faced liar," they wrote. Proposed eligibility criteria and conditions Under the terms stated during the speech, the primary requirement to qualify for the payout is holding adult US citizenship. The president framed the proposed payments as a direct benefit tied directly to a Republican victory across both chambers of Congress in the November elections During his address in Dallas, Trump outlined specific limitations on how recipients would be expected to use the funds. The money would need to be spent within the domestic economy rather than internationally. "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them," Trump said. "I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000." He emphasized the requirement to keep the money within national borders during his address to supporters. "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money," he said. "We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America." Details remain unconfirmed on how federal agencies would monitor or enforce domestic spending limits on individual bank accounts. The president did not clarify whether he intends to seek official congressional authorization for the total amount, which he named Trump Dividends. Questions over legality and congressional approval The proposed trillion-dollar distribution faces significant legal and logistical hurdles. Federal law strictly prohibits offering monetary compensation or direct financial rewards to influence voter behavior during an election. Opponents quickly pointed to these statutes to question whether promising direct payments in exchange for congressional votes violates federal campaign laws. However, legal experts suggest the plan might navigate these regulations by framing the payout as a broad tax relief measure. Promising prospective tax cuts or tax dividends remains a standard political proposal protected under federal law. An election law expert noted that political statements of this nature generally fall under free speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution. This proposal is not the first time political leaders have linked monetary benefits to legislative victories. Similar strategies have been used previously, such as when political candidates promised pandemic relief payments depending on party control in key legislative races.

Kate Hudson's Wedding Dilemma: Why She's Hesitating to Tie the Knot New

Kate Hudson's Wedding Dilemma: Why She's Hesitating to Tie the Knot

Kate Hudson admittedly has some concerns about planning her future wedding as her 5-year engagement to partner Danny Fujikawa continues. “I still am not married. I'm just engaged. And I keep thinking about [the] wedding and what are we going to do,” the actress, 47, said on the Tuesday, September 8, episode of her and her brother Oliver Hudson's “Sibling Revelry” podcast on iHeartRadio. “Every time we started thinking about who we have to invite and Danny's like, ‘I just want a small wedding.’ Our family alone is like 50 people.” Kate explained to guests Joey King and Hunter King that her and Oliver’s family is “huge.” “We've got, like, a million kids. There's a million uncles and aunts and cousins,” she added. Kate also admitted that the price tag attached to her future nuptials is also a factor in why she and Fujikawa have been taking their time when it comes to setting an official date. “That's part of why I don't want to get married,” she confessed. “It’s too expensive.” Kate and Fujikawa, 40, started dating in 2016 and welcomed daughter Rani Rose, 7, in October 2018. (The Running Point actress is also mother to sons Ryder, 22, and Bingham, 14, whom she shares with ex husband Chris Robinson and ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy, respectively.) After five years of dating, Fujikawa popped the question in September 2021. "Let's go! ��‍♀️������‍♂️," Kate wrote via Instagram while showing off her engagement ring in a sweet photo. Two months later, Kate opened up about how daunting it can be to plan a wedding. "You know what I’m doing? I’m pre-planning the planning. Just kind of thinking of what we want to do and then I'm going back and forth between like, ‘What is this really going to look like?’” she told Entertainment Tonight, comparing the process to her 2009 rom-com Bride Wars. "Obviously, we’re so excited. But the idea of planning a wedding is, like, a lot. It's a lot. I made a whole movie about it." Kate echoed similar sentiments two years later, when she and Fujikawa were vexed on what kind of wedding to have. "We do sometimes go back and forth with the traditional Japanese wedding ceremony, which would be really beautiful and quite emotional for Danny, seeing as his dad is gone," she said during a February 2023 appearance on the "Table for Two" podcast.. "It'll totally be a destination wedding. It'll be such an adventure that people will really want to have to come to show up. To me, those are always the most fun weddings. Like, if you really want to be there, you'll be there. ... If someone's like, 'I can't really be there,' then I don't want you there. That's all I got right now. That's all I got for the wedding."

Trump's Bold Prediction: Oil Prices to Plummet Post-Midterms New

Trump's Bold Prediction: Oil Prices to Plummet Post-Midterms

President Trump says oil and gas prices won’t come down until “right after” the midterm elections, as affordability issues remain top of mind for American voters. “Right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward,” Trump told reporters Wednesday before traveling to Dallas, where he is set to give the keynote speech at a Republican midterm convention.He also vowed that the war with Iran will end “immediately after the election.” President Trump on Wednesday said oil and gasoline prices won’t come down until “right after” the midterm elections. AFP via Getty ImagesThe comments came as Americans have been dealing with stubborn inflation, high interest rates and rising prices at the pump.Economic issues have become a major concern ahead of the high-stakes November elections, as Republicans are hoping to hold onto their narrow majorities in the House and Senate.When pressed by reporters on how long he expects the war with Iran to last, Trump said Wednesday: “They can’t hold out any longer.”But he also suggested that Iran is eager for the president to see unfavorable midterm election results.“They’re desperate to try and affect the election, so that we can get a nice weak group of people in there, and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon,” he said. National average gasoline prices remained above $4 a gallon. Aristide Economopoulos for NY PostBrent crude oil futures on Wednesday surged above $100 a barrel for the first time since July. National average gasoline prices remained stubbornly above $4 a gallon and continued to climb.Stocks fell as investors grew concerned that renewed hostilities in the Middle East could continue to disrupt supplies through the Strait of Hormuz – keeping oil prices elevated, driving inflation higher and potentially swaying the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates next week.Treasury yields also surged after the Treasury Department announced plans to buy $6 billion worth of government debt – a plan that disappointed traders, who were doubtful the buybacks could meaningfully lower long-term yields.Consumer sentiment plunged to 51.7 in August, according to the University of Michigan’s monthly survey. That’s better than the all-time lows reached earlier this year amid the war with Iran, but still a hefty 11% drop compared to the same time last year.

Billy Joel's Brave Decision After Surprising Brain Surgery Reveal New

Billy Joel's Brave Decision After Surprising Brain Surgery Reveal

Billy Joel is opening up about navigating a recent diagnosis. “I noticed that my balance was not good. I had this sense of being on a boat, like this rocking motion,” Joel, 77, explained on Wednesday, September 9, during SiriusXM’s The Billy Joel Channel. “I wasn't steady on my feet. I didn't know why that was and I went to meet with the neurologist, and I was diagnosed with having something called normal pressure hydrocephalus, which they used to call water on the brain.” Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a condition that occurs when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside your skull and puts pressure on the brain, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The condition typically occurs in people over the age of 65 and is often treatable, sometimes reversible. “Nobody's really sure what causes it, but they're able to diagnose it and I heard this and I said, ‘Oh, well, what does that mean?’” he said. "’Well, you know, it could be progressive. It could get worse, but what we recommend is that you implant a shunt in your brain.’ I said, ‘Well, what does that entail?’ ‘Well, we drill a hole through your skull and we stick a shunt inside your brain.’ I said, ‘Nah, I think I'll pass on that.’ I didn't want to do that.” Joel, however, “read up on it” and realized that the shunt — which is a flexible plastic tube surgically placed in the brain to drain fluid and alleviate pressure — could “help improve your balance and can help your memory.” “You know, I don't want to lose my marbles,” he said. “It's hard to tell what's age and what's a condition, so I agreed to do the shunt and I had a surgery, and they implanted a shunt in my brain and it actually improved things. My memory got better, my balance got a little better, my ability to function was better.” He continued, “And I realized, and the doctors told me this, because of my job, which is playing rock ’n’ roll music very loud, that it was giving me something like a concussion every time I did a show. It was causing damage to my brain nerves and I could be losing more brain cells the more I played, the more shows I did and I realized that means I shouldn't be doing this right now. I got to improve.” Joel shared that his doctors don’t want him to “stress too much,” adding that he’s undergoing physical therapy. “I'm doing whatever it is they tell me to do because I don't want to lose it, you know?” he said. “So, I'm always testing myself. I know people have heard, ‘Oh, he's got a brain disorder,’ and I'm OK. I just want people to know, don't worry about me. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here. I'm still here.”

KJ Biermann's Legal Battle: Will He Avoid Adult Charges? New

KJ Biermann's Legal Battle: Will He Avoid Adult Charges?

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s 15-year-old son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., is seeking to avoid being tried as an adult following his sexual assault and sodomy arrest. KJ’s attorney filed a motion on Tuesday, September 8, to transfer the case to juvenile court and “for confidentiality proceedings,” according to court records viewed by Us. If the petition is granted, KJ wouldn’t be prosecuted as an adult. He was indicted on September 3 for aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. (KJ was arrested in August for aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sodomy but vehemently denied the accusations. He has not been arrested for the remaining charges in the indictment.) Following his arrest, KJ was remanded to Atlanta’s Regional Youth Detention Center ahead of a bond hearing on Friday, September 11. He will be arraigned next month. KJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, told Page Six on Tuesday that his client plans to “enter a not guilty plea to all charges” during his arraignment. “It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,” Sheffield noted in a statement. “But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.” Us has reached out for comment. KJ has not presently entered a plea in connection to the case. (Zolciak, 48, and estranged husband Kroy, 40, also share son Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 12. The former NFL star also adopted Zolciak’s two daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle, 29, and Ariana, 24, upon their wedding.) “First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” Sheffield told Us in a statement last month. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.” Sheffield added at the time, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.” Zolciak, for her part, has similarly denounced the accusations. “The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling,” Zolciak told Us in a statement of her own in August. “He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged. My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.” The Bravo alum continued, “False accusations can have devastating consequences not only for the person being accused, but also for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation.” If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Lindsay Clancy's Heartbreaking Pleas Revealed After Mistrial Shock

Lindsay Clancy’s defense lawyer described the killer mom’s dark new reality in the wake of her triple murder mistrial – and revealed the harrowing phrase she “constantly” repeats.“I want my babies. I want my babies,” defense attorney Kevin Reddington said when asked by NBC News’ Laura Jarrett about what kinds of things Clancy says about her three slain children.Clancy, 36, still talks about Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan – who she fatally strangled with exercise bands inside their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home before trying to take her own life in January 2023 – “all the time,” Reddington said during the sit-down interview Wednesday.Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney revealed his client constantly says “I want my babies” three years after taking their lives. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectClancy killed her three children Cora, Callan and Dawson in her Massachusetts home in 2023. Instagram/@heardwithloveThe former labor and delivery nurse’s widely watched murder trial ended Friday in a hung jury with an 11-1 split after seven days of deliberations.Reddington, 75, argued Clancy was in the throes of postpartum psychosis during the killings — while prosecutors claimed she carefully planned the deaths and made up that she experienced a mental break to try to avoid criminal culpability.Judge William Sullivan was forced to declare a mistrial after a lone male holdout couldn’t agree with the other 11 jurors that Clancy should be found not guilty by reason of insanity, following 38 grueling hours of deliberation across seven days.Clancy “has bad days and she has worse days,” Reddington said Wednesday, echoing what forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel testified about the mom’s mental state.Kevin Reddington insisted in an NBC interview that the version of Clancy that killed her own children is not the one “living amongst us” today. NBCBut Reddington – who has since made a public plea for President Trump’s help with his controversial client’s case – remains adamant that the mom’s horrific crimes don’t define her.“Because that was not the Lindsay that is now living amongst us,” he told NBC. Here’s the latest on Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial: Kevin Reddington defends Lindsay Clancy’s ex Patrick against ‘horrific conspiracy allegations’: ‘Stop with the speculation’ Lindsay Clancy jurors detail just what happened behind closed doors — and how a not guilty verdict nearly came down ‘Harsh’ Lindsay Clancy prosecution backfired, instead proving she was good mom who ‘snapped’: jurors Lindsay Clancy juror defends lone holdout, makes surprising admission about others on the panel Today, “The woman who’s living amongst us is the person who was the labor and delivery nurse for eight years that everybody loved.

Joy-Anna Duggar's Surprising Thoughts on Expanding Her Family

Joy-Anna Duggar's Surprising Thoughts on Expanding Her Family

Joy-Anna Duggar is getting candid about the decision to expand her family further amid her pregnancy with baby No. 4. “Even in the pregnancy, I am trying to enjoy it, even though it seems like it’s been fast,” Joy-Anna, 28, told sister Jinger Duggar on the Wednesday, September 9, episode of their “Call Your Sister” podcast. “It’s been harder, but I don’t know how many more times I’m going to do this.” Joy-Anna and her husband, Austin Forsyth, announced earlier this month that they are expecting again. The Counting On alum and Austin, 32, are already the parents of sons Gideon, 8, and Gunner, 3, as well as daughter Evelyn, 5. (Joy-Anna previously suffered a miscarriage in 2019, naming her late daughter Annabell.) Speaking on the siblings’ podcast, Joy-Anna confessed that she initially felt “pressure” to have a large family like the one she grew up in. (Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are famously parents of 19.) “I felt that in our first pregnancy, and Austin and I have had to have real conversations about [it] because I feel like it’s really important,” she acknowledged. “Austin, [during] this pregnancy, for the first time was like, ‘Do you know what? We might be done after this one. I don’t know, how do you feel?’” As a result, Joy-Anna began discussing the possibilities that baby No. 4 will be her last. “It’s crazy to me that we might already be there, like, we’re done with this phase of life, so that part of it is bittersweet,” the former TLC star added. “Right now, I don’t feel like I would be done with this one. Four or five have always been … in my mind.” Like her younger sister, Jinger, 32, “assumed” she’d have “as many kids as possible” before becoming a mom. “When [Jeremy Vuolo and I] were engaged, we were talking about how many kids we wanted, and we were also watching through Bill Gothard’s videos and pausing it,” Jinger said, referring to the controversial leader of her family’s IBLP religion. “Initially, that was one of the bigger things I was thinking through. I was never the one that wanted to babysit everyone’s kids. … I loved being around kids, but I wasn’t like, ‘I’m going to have 50 kids of my own.’ But I thought, ‘That’s what everybody’s gonna do.’” Upon discussing the matter with Jeremy, 39, Jinger ultimately had a change of heart. “Children are a blessing from the Lord, but [that] doesn’t mean you have to have as many as possible, then that was actually a different perspective for me,” she said. “[That] gave me more joy going into having my kids. I was like, ‘Thank you, Lord, for these kids; they are a blessing.’ I don’t want to do anything out of convenience, but I also want to be present and involved in my kids’ lives in a deep way where each kid feels taken care of.” Jinger and Jeremy share daughters Evangeline, 8, and Felicity, 5, and son Finn, 17 months.

It’s hard to grieve anyone. I would never wish that upon anybody,” she said, referring to the death of her famous dad.“But to have to do it in front of the world, and then get judged for the way that you do it, was even harder.”Kelly (seen here with mom Sharon at the BRIT Awards in February) told Metro on the red carpet that she couldn’t watch the documentary, which was filmed before her dad Ozzy’s death in July 2025.

She recently told the Daily Mail that she wore a wig to hide her weight loss at the 2026 Grammy Awards in February, where there was a special tribute to Ozzy.“I looked like the f–king Crypt Keeper,” Kelly said, admitting she “was in so much pain” and felt like “a broken person” after her dad’s death.Kelly (seen here in August) also said the documentary is “a devastating story, but it’s also a really beautiful one.” Max Cisotti/Dave Benett/Getty ImagesKelly (seen here with Ozzy in 2013) has been open about her grief since Ozzy’s passing last year. Getty ImagesBut in a positive update, Kelly —  who separated from her fiancé, Sid Wilson, in March — shared last month that she was “getting a lot better” and receiving the help and support she needed for her weight loss struggles.“It’s going to take me a minute. I’m not going to be fixed in a day. I’m not going to be fixed on one therapy session,” the mother of one said.“This is a lifetime of work I’ve got to do and continue to do for the rest of my life.” Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
