Who said “Nobody Wants This”? The SAG Awards certainly do.

Kristen Bell, fresh off a Golden Globe best comedy actress nomination for her Netflix series “Nobody Wants This,” will host the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, Feb. 23. For a second time, Netflix will stream the ceremony live (8 p.m. ET/ 5 PT) from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

“Thrilled to be hosting the SAG Awards again this year,” said Bell, who is married to actor and podcaster Dax Shepard, in a statement issued by the guild. “I’m honored to be asked back and can’t wait to share the evening with my fellow actors, doing what we do best … celebrating ourselves.”

Bell ended the statement with a smiley face emoji.

When are the SAG Award nominations announced?

Bell, who last hosted the awards in 2018, follows 2024’s de facto host Idris Elba. Nominees for this year’s awards for top movies and TV shows, which are voted on by members of the screen actors’ union, will be announced Jan. 8.

Last week’s Golden Globe nominations raise SAG hopes for top Globe nominees such as “Emilia Pérez” (10 nominations), “The Brutalist” (seven) and “Conclave” (six). In TV, the FX series “The Bear” leads the Globe field (five nominations) followed by “Only Murders in the Building” and “Shōgun” (four each).

Bell and “Nobody Wants This” co-star Adam Brody also have reasons to be optimistic. Their show, which chronicles the love affair between a rabbi and his gentile girlfriend, scored three Globe nominations: best musical or comedy TV series, and best acting nods for Brody and Bell. (Not that the competition won’t be stiff. At last year’s SAG Awards, “The Bear” cleaned up all three of those categories.)

Three people are dead after a student opened fire at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., the local police chief said on Monday, Dec. 16.

The shooter, a teenage student at the school, was found deceased after officers responded to the scene, Chief Shon Barnes said at an early afternoon press conference.

He did not say how the shooter died, but indicated that officers had not fired their weapons inside the building.

Barnes said at a press conference later on Monday that authorities are not yet publicly announcing the student’s age or gender.

The fatal victims were one student and one teacher, Barnes said. The victims have not been publicly named. Police had previously said erroneously that five people were deceased.

Six students remain hospitalized. Of those two are in critical condition with “life-threatening injuries,” said Barnes.

Police responded to an active shooter call reported at Abundant Life at about 10:57 a.m., Barnes said. The shooting is believed to have entirely taken place in one room, though it’s unclear if that was a classroom or in a hallway.

A handgun believed to be the shooter’s weapon was recovered from the scene; police have since executed a search warrant on the suspect’s home, but are as of yet withholding their name or any other identifiers. Barnes said the suspect’s family is cooperating in the investigation.

“Today truly is a sad day for Madison and for our country,” said Barnes. “It is a day that I believe will live in our collective minds for a very, very long time.

Students in Madison public schools were on lockdown following the incident, but police dod not believe there are any further threats to students’ safety. Meanwhile, a reunification center was established at the nearby Dean Clinic so parents can find their kids.

Abundant Life requested on social media that people “please pray for our Challenger Family” following the shooting.

According to the school’s website, Abundant Life Christian School was founded in 1978 and serves grades K-12.

The juvenile shooter who opened fire at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis. on Monday, killing a teacher and another student, was a 17-year-old female student, according to the Associated Press.

The detail was shared with the AP by a law enforcement official who was not authorized to divulge any identifying information, which the police were withholding from the press as of 5 p.m. Monday. CNN also reported that the shooter was a female student.

No further details were immediately available and the Madison Police Department did not immediately return a request for comment.

Just before 11 a.m. on Dec. 16, police in Madison, Wis., responded to an active shooter call reported at the school, Chief Shon Barnes said at a press conference.

Three people including the shooter died and six others were hospitalized, with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening, Barnes said.

The shooter was found dead inside the school after officers responded to the scene.

The circumstances of the shooter’s death weren’t immediately clear, though Barnes noted that police did not fire their weapons.

Police, however, know the suspect’s identity and have executed a search warrant on the person’s residence; Barnes said the family is cooperating in the investigation.

Jill Jacobson, a star of film and TV known for her work in Star Trek: The Next Generation and the soap operas Falcon Crest and Days of Our Lives, has died. She was 70 years old.

Jacobson’s friend and publicist Daniel Harary confirmed the news to Variety on Sunday, Dec. 15. Harary said that she died on Dec. 8 in Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Culver Health Center after a “long illness.”

The actress, who served as a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society, revealed during an episode of the Jim Masters Show in September that she struggled with esophageal cancer that “kind of took me out of the game for a while.”

“What I went through was pretty intense. You can’t function, you just can’t function,” she said at the time. “And now I’m so grateful, I just want to keep going, I want to help people. It makes you want to help people.”

Jacobson’s manager Ben Padua also confirmed the news of her death to Entertainment Weekly, telling the outlet: “We are incredibly sad to say goodbye to our beautiful, soulful, hysterically funny, elegantly raunchy client, Jill Jacobson.”

“Jill was a total spitfire of an actress with comedic timing straight out of a Marx Brothers’ flick and Hollywood glamour right from its golden age. Jill took us on so many adventures and she was an absolute blast,” he added. “Thank you, Jill. We’ll see you in our dreams.”

Originally from Texas, Jacobson studied radio, TV and film performance at the University of Texas at Austin before moving to L.A. to launch her acting career, per Deadline. In her earliest days of acting, she starred in films including 1977’s Nurse Sherri and Bad Georgia Road.

Jacobson appeared in several other indie comedy movies over the course of her career, including 1982’s Forbidden Love, 1983’s Baby Sister and 1984’s Splash.

She also starred in a number of TV roles from the 1980s to the 2000s, including a 22-episode stint as character Erin Jones on Falcon Crest, five episodes of Days of Our Lives, two episodes of Newhart, an episode of Quantum Leap and many more.

Notably, Jacobson appeared in two different Star Trek series — Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — in two different guest roles.

Most recently, Jacobson appeared in the horror anthology series Etheria in 2020. She was also known for her theater roles and stand-up comedy, performing at the iconic L.A. venues Improv and The Comedy Store.

Caryn Richman, who starred in The New Gidget alongside Jacobson, told Deadline that she remembered the actress as a “brilliant” comedic actress as well as a friend.

“Jill’s comic timing was brilliant. And her enthusiasm and love of life made our time together on set joyful,” Richman said.

Jacobson’s family said in a statement, per Deadline: “Beautiful, energetic, and positive to the end, she will be deeply missed by numerous relatives, friends and her beloved dogs Benny and Kowalski.”

Bronny James will play in his first G League road game Thursday when the South Bay Lakers play at the Valley Suns in Tempe, Arizona, a person familiar with the decision told USA TODAY Sports.

The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the team’s plans for the rookie guard.

It had been reported earlier this season that James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, didn’t plan to play in G League road games. However, the Lakers and Bronny kept options open and have since decided that he will play in select G League road games.

Bronny has played in three G League games this season, averaging 8.7 points on 29.4% shooting, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks for South Bay. He scored 16 points in his most recent G League game Saturday. He has also appeared in seven games for the Lakers as he shuttles back and forth between the NBA and G League and develops.

Bronny was the No. 55 pick in the second round of the 2024 draft. He was moving up draft boards before he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest just before the start of his freshman season at Southern California in July 2023.

Earlier this season, LeBron and Bronny became the first father-son combo to play in the NBA at the same time.

ESPN was the first to report that Bronny will play in a G League road game.

A shooting at a “pop-up party” in Houston late Saturday left two teenagers dead and three others injured, including a 13-year-old girl, authorities said.

Officers responded to a shooting-in-progress call at around 11:20 p.m. local time on Saturday, according to Houston Police Assistant Chief Luis Menendez-Sierra. After they arrived, Menendez-Sierra said officers discovered a “very hectic scene” with a large crowd of people running out of a makeshift club.

“It’s kind of one of these last-minute parties, pop-up parties that have been popping up lately,” Menendez-Sierra said during a news conference.

The crowd appeared to consist of “mostly juveniles” and people were “running all over the place,” trying to flee the scene as officers tended to several people who sustained gunshot wounds, according to Menendez-Sierra.

Responders found a 16-year-old boy who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. A 16-year-old girl was transported to the Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, where she was pronounced dead.

At least three others were injured, including a 13-year-old girl who was in critical condition at the Texas Children’s Hospital and a 19-year-old woman who transported herself to the hospital, according to police.

Menendez-Sierra said no suspects have been identified and asked people with information about the shooting to contact authorities.

“We don’t have suspect information or any vehicle or anything at this point, our homicide team is working on that,” Menendez-Sierra said. “We’ll try to get as much information out to the public as we can.”

Police: Shooting occurred at a non-sanctioned party

The shooting happened at an empty business on the city’s north side that was “kind of just leased out” and turned into a makeshift club, according to Menendez-Sierra. Authorities said the party was part of a recent social media trend, in which people organize unauthorized and last-minute events.

Menendez-Sierra noted that non-sanctioned parties have no regulations with “nothing guarding it,” which can cause serious problems.

“These makeshift, unsanctioned pop-up parties can quickly lead to chaos and violence,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonalez said in a statement on X. “These parties quickly come together via social media. Pop-up parties raise public safety concerns and teens need to stay away for their own safety.”

Latest shooting in the U.S.

Saturday’s shooting is the latest incident of gun violence in the U.S. According to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that documents gun violence incidents across the country, there have been nearly 16,000 incidents so far this year.

Earlier this year, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called gun violence an “urgent public health crisis” and urged for initiatives similar to those used against smoking and motor vehicle crashes to stop it. Murthy said an estimated 50,000 people are killed every year due to gun violence.

The rate of firearm-related deaths “reached a near three-decade high in 2021,” according to the surgeon general’s 39-page advisory. A rise in firearm‑related homicides since 2012 and firearm‑related suicides over the last two decades are also driving the crisis.

A September report from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions found that firearms were the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the U.S. for the third consecutive year and that homicides accounted for the majority of gun deaths in the age group.

“In the U.S., gun death rates in this age group have increased by 106 percent since 2013 and have been the leading cause of death among this group since 2020,” according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

A video captured a tornado ripping through a shopping center parking lot near Santa Cruz in California over the weekend.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that the tornado in Scotts Valley on Saturday caused several flipped vehicles, fallen trees, and multiple injuries due to the heavy winds and rain. It hit the city, which is about 6 miles from Santa Cruz and 96 miles southwest of Stockton, just before 2 p.m.

According to the National Weather Service Bay Area, the EF-1 tornado had estimated peak winds of 90 mph. The agency said that power poles were included in the damage.

“Everything was being blown that way. Cars were suddenly moving,” witness Ben Hughes told KGO. “You could see the traffic lights leave the poles.”

No deaths have been reported, officials say

According to the Scotts Valley Police Department, during road closures, crews with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company worked to restore power.

“We thank our community for their patience while repairs were being made,” the department said.

Officials said that no one was killed due to the tornado, KGO reported.

“It was a miracle no one was killed in this event,” Scotts Valley Vice Mayor Derek Timm said to the news station on Sunday. “I feel like we dodged a bullet on this one, in terms of injuries and no fatalities.”

Queen and Adam Lambert are currently on a European tour, having already wowed the UK in May and June with a string of massive arena shows.

They rocked up to the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno in Bologna, Italy, last night (July 10) where they decided to play something extra special.

Given they were in the birthplace of opera, it was especially appropriate for the band to give a stunning rendition of ‘Nessun dorma’, the beautiful aria from the last act of Puccini’s Turandot.

One of the most well-known melodies from the world of opera, ‘Nessun dorma’ enjoyed major mainstream recognition when a 1972 recording by Luciano Pavarotti was used during television coverage of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.

The moment was captured and shared by an Adam Lambert Twitter fan account:

After Freddie Mercury’s tragic death in 1991, Queen have continued to perform live under the “Queen + ….” banner, with Free’s Paul Rodgers fronting the group from 2004 to 2009 and former American Idol runner-up Lambert on the mic since 2011.

The Queen + Paul Rodgers lineup released a single studio album The Cosmos Rocks in 2008, but while they have spent time in the studio, Queen + Adam Lambert have yet to release any newly-recorded material.

Bill Belichick continues to be full of surprises. Last week he shocked pretty much everyone when he took the head coaching job at UNC, bringing his brand of football to a college team for the first time.

And on Sunday we found out what unlikely NFL team Belichick had interest in before he got involved with UNC. Are you ready?

The New York Jets. The same team Belichick left suddenly 24 years ago after less than a day as head coach. According to The Athletic’s Diana Russini, the Jets were “informed” around two weeks ago that Belichick had “interest in their organization.”

It’s unclear what “interest in their organization” really meant, but the Jets are a team that could have been exactly what Belichick was looking for. They have an opening for a new head coach (Robert Saleh was fired after Week 5) and general manager (Joe Douglas was fired after week 11). While those are typically separate positions, Belichick served as both GM and head coach during his many years with the New England Patriots. His preference for that kind of structure may have hampered his search for a new job at the end of last season, since most teams prefer to employ a separate head coach and GM.

Russini said the Jets were “stunned” to find out Belichick, who had quit all those years ago by writing a note on a napkin that said “I resign as HC of the NYJ,” was interested in a reunion.

Nothing came of his interest, though. Very few people within the Jets were made aware of a possible Belichick partnership. According to Russini, the Jets and Belichick never got to the point of meetings or a formal discussion before the UNC train got rolling.

A judge in Las Vegas sentenced a Texas man to 100 years in prison for his role in a two-state shooting rampage on Thanksgiving 2020 that included the killing of a man in Nevada and a shootout with authorities in Arizona.

Christopher McDonnell, 32, pleaded guilty in October to more than 20 felonies including murder, attempted murder, murder conspiracy, weapon charges and being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm.

Clark County District Judge Tierra Jones sentenced him on Friday to a minimum of 100 years in prison, KLAS-TV reported. If he’s still alive, he would be eligible for parole in 2120 with credit for time served.

McDonnell of Tyler, Texas, his brother Shawn McDonnell, 34, and Shawn McDonnell’s then-wife, Kayleigh Lewis, 29, originally faced dozens of charges.

Police and prosecutors say the trio began an 11-hour rampage on Nov. 26, 2020 that included apparently random shootings that killed Kevin Mendiola Jr., 22, at a convenience store in Henderson, near Las Vegas, and drive-by gunfire that wounded several other people.

The group then continued into Arizona, where there were additional shootings, including one involving a police officer. All three were arrested after their car rolled over.

Prosecutors said Lewis was the driver as the two brothers fired indiscriminately out of the vehicle’s windows. Shawn McDonnell and Lewis are awaiting trial.

The shooting rampage ended near the Colorado River town of Parker, Arizona, after a chase involving officers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the crash of a car with a Texas license plate and the wounding of Shawn McDonnell by troopers wielding assault-style rifles, police said.
