Entertainment mogul David Geffen, 82, has filed for divorce from his 32-year-old husband, David Armstrong, after nearly two years of marriage—without a prenuptial agreement in place. Geffen and Armstrong tied the knot in 2023 after meeting in 2020, when Armstrong worked as Geffen’s personal trainer. Armstrong, known previously by his stage name Donovan Michaels, had worked as a go-go dancer before the marriage. The divorce petition cites irreconcilable differences. While the lack of a prenup has stirred speculation, legal experts note that California law considers Geffen’s extensive pre-marital fortune—including his business investments and real estate assets—as separate property. Geffen’s wealth,…
A citywide manhunt continues in New Orleans as seven fugitives remain at large following a coordinated jailbreak from the Orleans Justice Center. The breakout, discovered during a routine morning headcount, revealed a meticulously planned escape involving inmates charged with violent crimes including murder and armed robbery.

From there, they scaled a perimeter fence using blankets to bypass barbed wire, vanishing into the early morning darkness. Three inmates have since been recaptured, but seven are still at large and…
Ivanka Trump made an unexpected stop at the Philadelphia Eagles’ facility, leaving behind a handwritten note for rookie cornerback Eli Ricks after learning he had praised her publicly.

Go Birds!” Ricks wasn’t present during the visit but quickly responded on social media with humor…

Those lapses were among the reasons Special Counsel Hur declined to pursue charges against Biden for mishandling classified documents. President Trump, responding publicly, said the situation is “looking like a bigger and bigger…
