 Eva Mendes says her tattoo, seemingly a tribute to Ryan Gosling, is 'the only one I've ever wanted' Eva Mendes recently shared a glimpse of her only tattoo, proudly displaying the ink on her wrist that reads “de Gosling.” In a series of Instagram photos posted on August 28, the actress explained that the tattoo is the sole piece of body art she has ever wanted.  Her comment came after a follower pointed out the design, prompting Mendes to affirm its personal significance. The tattoo, which she first debuted in 2022, has fueled speculation about her marital status with Ryan Gosling, her partner of 15 years. In Latino tradition, the word “de” connects a woman’s name to her husband’s, suggesting a “Mrs. Gosling” title.  Mendes herself has occasionally referred to Gosling as her husband, including during a television appearance in Australia in late 2022. While reports of a secret wedding surfaced years earlier, the couple has remained private, offering only subtle hints abou...

 Drunk pilot crashes stolen plane near nuclear site A 24-year-old pilot allegedly stole a plane while intoxicated and flew towards a nuclear power plant in Hungary, triggering a major emergency response before the aircraft crashed in a sunflower field. The worrying flight path of the Cessna 172 entered the no-fly zone around Hungary’s largest nuclear power plant and triggered an alert on military radar. Hungarian air force officials quickly mobilised a task force, with several fighter jets sent to intercept the aircraft. The mid-air operation lasted only a few minutes before the pilot unexpectedly crash-landed in a sunflower field around four miles from the plant. Aerial footage showed a flattened trail through the sunflowers where the aircraft had bulldozed its way across the field. The pilot was uninjured, but the Cessna 172 was left badly damaged after the crash. Police allege that the aircraft had been stolen from Kalocsa Airport. Following the emergency landing, the suspect al...

 Mysterious island appears and then vanishes in Canadian reservoir A huge floating island covered in trees mysteriously appeared in a Canadian reservoir before vanishing just weeks later, leaving officials unsure where the bizarre landmass has gone. The strange sighting occurred at British Columbia’s Williston Reservoir, where boaters spotted what appeared to be a fully formed island drifting through the water. The floating mass was enormous, measuring roughly the equivalent of two NFL football fields. Satellite imagery taken on July 21 confirmed that the unusual landmass was real and showed it floating about 60 miles west of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam. But by August 5, the island had disappeared from satellite images. The utility responsible for managing the reservoir has yet to determine exactly what happened to it. A spokesperson told CBC that the island may not have sunk at all, suggesting it could have drifted back towards the shoreline or moved into a more sheltered section of th...

 Trump weighs limited strikes on Iran to protect ships and aircraft in Strait of Hormuz  President Donald Trump and senior administration officials are weighing limited U.S. strikes against Iranian military positions in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent Tehran from rebuilding radar, air defense and anti-ship missile systems that could threaten vessels, according to U.S. officials. The plan was developed by U.S. Central Command over the past week and has received support from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but Trump had not approved the strikes before a new round of fighting with Iran over the weekend. The proposal is intended to reduce the threat to oil tankers, U.S. Navy ships and military aircraft operating in the strategically important waterway. The U.S. military has spent the past two months weakening Iranian military capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz, clearing mines and helping guide ships through the passage. The effort has reduced Iran’s ability to target tankers and...

 Mississippi mayor faces backlash for criticizing Trump's flag order for Dolly Parton On August 25, President Donald Trump ordered flags to be lowered to half‑staff in honor of Dolly Parton, whose death at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer united people across political lines in grief.  While many embraced the gesture as a fitting tribute to the beloved country icon, one mayor in Mississippi sparked outrage by refusing to comply.  Ken Adams of Olive Branch posted on Facebook that although he respected Parton’s legacy, he believed the symbolic act of lowering the flag should be reserved for military heroes, first responders, presidents, and other major national figures. Adams argued that lowering the flag too often could dilute its meaning, and he emphasized that local leaders should have the authority to decide for their own communities. He insisted his stance was not political or disrespectful to Parton, but his comments quickly drew sharp criticism.  Many peo...

 UN committee says countries must consider reparations for slave trade A U.N. committee said countries are legally obliged ​to consider reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and take other measures to address ‌the enduring legacy of racial discrimination it says persists today. Guidance published on Monday by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination stated that the obligations arise from a legally binding 1965 convention on racial discrimination, not from ​the legal standards that existed when the slave trade took place. "States Parties must implement comprehensive reparatory measures for people ​of African descent, covering all aspects of remedies," said the U.N. document, which may be cited ​in courtrooms, Reuters reported. At least 12.5 million Africans were taken and sold between the 15th and 19th centuries in what the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination called the largest forced displacement in history.
