How Rupert Murdoch replaced Jerry Hall with ex-San Francisco socialite known for ‘QAnon-style politics’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:45 GMT

It struck many as defying the natural order of the universe when glamorous 1970s supermodel Jerry Hall, the longtime ex-partner of Mick Jagger, married conservative, 85-year-old medial mogul Rupert Murdoch in March 2016.But as Vanity Reports, Hall seemed to genuinely to love her billionaire husband, despite the fact that she’s “a BBC-loving liberal” and his Fox News effectively became President Donald Trump’s “de facto state TV.” The 25-years-younger Hall also seemed to enjoy Murdoch’s company and cared for him through his escalating health crises, including feeding him by spoon for months after he suffered a fall on his oldest son’s yacht.So, Hall felt “blindsided” when she received an email from Murdoch in June 2022, telling her, “Sadly, I’ve decided to end our marriage.” She and others close to her were left wondering: What happened?The possible answer came in January when Murdoch was photographed vacat...

Justice Samuel Alito temporarily extends access to abortion drug while Supreme Court considers case

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:38:45 GMT

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Friday extended a hold on a lower court ruling that would have imposed restrictions on access to an abortion drug, a temporary move meant to give the justices more time to consider the issue.Alito said the order is stayed until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday. He also asked plaintiffs to respond on or before noon ET Tuesday.The case is the most important abortion-related dispute to reach the high court since the justices overturned Roe v. Wade last term. It centers on the scope of the US Food and Drug Administration’s authority to regulate a drug that is used in the majority of abortions today in states that still allow the procedure.Alito issued a so-called administrative stay on the ruling while the high court considers an emergency appeal filed by the Biden administration and a manufacturer of the drug, mifepristone. The move does not reflect the final disposition of the case.Parts of the ruling by US District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk that re...

Since Tupperware, the iconic kitchen brand that’s been a household name for decades, signaled recently that it might be going out of business, you might be wondering how long your stash of its food storage containers is safe to use — especially if it’s vintage.Figuring out the answer to that question for any type of reusable plastic food storage products — not just Tupperware — often comes down to understanding what they’re made of. Bisphenol A, more commonly known as BPA, is a chemical that, according to the United States Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, has been used for years in the production of certain plastics to make them more durable and shatter-resistant. Unfortunately, it can also make them potential health hazards.In human studies, BPA exposure has been associated with a higher risk of a wide range of health conditions or issues, such as infertility, altered fetal growth of the fetus, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and aggression among children, polyc...
