In early 2023, Paul Newby, the Republican chief justice of North Carolina’s Supreme Court, gave the state and the nation a demonstration of the stunning and overlooked power of his office.  The previous year, the court — then majority Democrat — had outlawed partisan gerrymandering in the swing state. Over Newby’s vehement dissent, it had ordered independent outsiders to redraw electoral maps that the GOP-controlled legislature had…

FOX 24 US Halloween is finally Poot’s big night out.  A decade after a washed-out, altered image of Demi Lovato inspired the infamous Poot Lovato meme, the “Heart Attack” singer gave the cringe moment its time to shine, using it as her 2025 Halloween costume.  “happy halloween and happy one week of intd!!!” Demi, who recently dropped her It’s Not That Deep album, wrote in an Oct. 30 Instagram post. “Been so locked in this era, I thought I’d let pootvato out.” In the photos, Demi transformed into the nearly unrecognizable 2015 photoshopped snap caking on powdery makeup and pinning…

FOX 24 US Fans of The Hunting Wives are in for a treat. Indeed, while star Malin Åkerman—who plays Margo Banks on the Netflix series—can’t spill much about season two, she knows the straight-shooting women of Maple Brook, East Texas are going to bring it. “All I can say is that—I haven’t even read the script yet, because they’re not done yet—but I did go into the writer’s room, and all I can say is, they have topped it,” Malin told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes during Variety’s 2025 Power of Women Los Angeles on Oct. 29. “They’ve topped season one.” “There’s…

FOX 24 US Quyen Dinh didn’t even remember that, in 2024, she was selected as one of 23 appointees to the Census 2030 Advisory Committee. The group has been disbanded since March by order of President Donald Trump, eradicating professional expertise from the planning of the decennial census. Dinh had also been involved, through her role as executive director of the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, in giving feedback and helping shape the first update to how the federal government collects race and ethnicity data in nearly 30 years. Called Statistical Policy Directive 15, or SPD 15, the Office of…

FOX 24 US The Supreme Court is, apparently, reading its amicus briefs — and one of them may provide an offramp from immediately having to decide whether President Trump has the power to deploy the National Guard into Illinois.  On Wednesday, the Court asked for further briefing on whether the term “regular forces,” in the context of the law that governs the federalization of the National Guard, means the regular military forces or the regular civilian forces. This definition is critical; Trump is attempting to deploy the Guard using a statute that suggests he can do so when “the President…

FOX 24 US Look, we’ve all been there: You leave the house with your lashes looking pristine—long! Voluminous! Downright dramatic even!—only to catch your reflection halfway through the day and realize your perfect beat has been sabotaged by mascara flakes and smudges. Since, unfortunately for us, “raccoon chic” still isn’t trending (and probably never will), it’s time to upgrade to a formula that will keep you looking fresh for that post-work happy hour. The truth is: not all mascaras are created equal. Some are just better than others. And while it might be difficult (and overwhelming!) to decipher which bottles…

FOX 24 US There’s no unfinished business when it comes to our enduring love for Casper. Released in May 1995 months before Halloween, no one expected Casper to become one of the year’s biggest hits, let alone an iconic staple of spooky season. Made for $55 million, the movie which starred Bill Pullman and a then-14-year-old Christina Ricci went on to gross $300 million and became one of Universal Studios’ most beloved properties in the ’90s.  But did you know that original version of the beloved classic didn’t include Casper in human form? Yes, that’s right, we were almost robbed of hearing…

FOX 24 US Sid and Nancy, Gomez and Morticia, Vincent and Mia, Shrek and Fiona… Basically, the possibilities are endless when it comes to classic Halloween couples’ costumes. And by the time spooky season rolls around each year, there are also countless of-the-moment ideas to rip from pop culture for a fresh—but hopefully still identifiable—take on dressing up. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, for instance, invoked Love Island singles on the Oct. 31 episode of Live! With Kelly and Mark, the long-married duo leaning into the show du jour but keeping it safe for work by donning T-shirts with respective bikini…

FOX 24 US The beauty of Amazon is that you can pretty much find everything you could ever need on there— even luxury skincare. Even better, you can usually find it for less, especially because Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Event is happening right now. Take the cult-favorite C.E.O. Glow vitamin C and turmeric face oil from Sunday Riley, which is currently a rare 30% off. That means you’ll score it for less than $30, which is a steal for a high-end brand like Sunday Riley. Want more savings? Of course you do! You’ll also find deals on Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic magic…

FOX 24 US During her tenure, Gayle has sat down with the likes of world leaders like President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, as well as her pal Oprah Winfrey. But perhaps her most notable interview was with R. Kelly in 2019 before he was convicted of federal counts of racketeering and sex trafficking. During their chat, he became visibly upset while Gayle remained calm and simply repeated his name “Robert.” “It escalated rather quickly,” Gayle told People in 2019. “It went from 0 to 200. When it’s happening in that moment, you don’t really feel it. I could tell…
