Brenda Songis offering a glimpse into life at home withMacaulay Culkin— and some of their playful disagreements.

In the April 22 episode ofCosmo Goes Deep, Song sat down with herRunning PointcostarKate Hudsonfor a candid conversation that included a round of personal questions. When Hudson asked, “What’s the pettiest thing you and your partner fight over?” Song, 38, said her relationship debates with Culkin, 45 — with whom she shares sons Dakota, 5, and Carson, 3 — tend to center around something a bit more competitive.

“One thing that we can argue about is we do play Mario Kart sometimes, like in bed. And then we get very, very competitive and we will like get like mildly mad at each other, for like cutting me off or like winning, beating me last minute. That’s probably the pettiest thing,” Song said.

Song has been open about her relationship with Culkin in the past. The couple, who began dating in 2017 after meeting at their mutual friendSeth Green's home and got engaged in 2022, weren’t actively seeking romance when they first got together — something she has said made their connection even stronger.

In anearlier interview with Access Hollywood, Song reflected on how their relationship came together unexpectedly.

“I think that’s what was so beautiful. I always say he’s like my unicorn. I wasn’t going to settle for anything, but he is exactly what I was hoping to look for,” she said at the time.

In a joint interview withCosmopolitanin 2025, Culkin said of their relationship, "I’d never felt this way before. I believed in her. I mean, I believed in people before, but I believed in her down to my bone marrow. You know what I mean? I put it behind the armor though, behind that shield.”

Trump will unveil a deal with Regeneron to lower drug prices

President Donald Trump on Thursday will announce a deal with drugmaker Regeneron to lower the cost of its pharmaceutical products as part of the White House's signature most-favored-nation drug pricing initiative.

The deal involves Regeneron lowering the prices of current and future drugs on Medicaid and selling a cholesterol drug called Praluent for $225 on the White House's discounted drug website TrumpRx, according to the agreement first outlined by NOTUS and confirmed by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The deal comes as the Trump administration has been touting efforts to provide economic relief ahead of November's midterm elections, with Americans sayinghigh costsfor health care, gas, groceries and other basic needs arestraining their budgets.

It's one of many so-called most-favored-nation deals the Trump administration has made with drug companies to bring U.S. pharmaceutical prices to the same level as other developed nations. Last July, Trump publicly sent letters to executives at 17 major pharmaceutical companies about the issue. Regeneron is the final one of those companies to strike a deal with his administration.

As part of the deal, Regeneron has also committed to spending nearly $10 billion to bring pharmaceutical production to the United States, NOTUS reported. Trump’s deals have historically offered companies relief on his tariffs if they make such commitments.

Even as Trump and his Department of Health and Human Services have touted his drug-pricing deals as transformative, the details of the agreements have so far not been made public.

Pressed by members of Congress to share the contracts this week, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his team would share whatever details it could that didn't include proprietary information or trade secrets. Trump and Kennedy have urged Congress to codify the deals into law.

Drug prices for patients in the U.S. can depend on a number of factors, including the competition a treatment faces and insurance coverage. Most people have coverage through work, the individual insurance market or government programs like Medicaid and Medicare, which shield them from much of the cost.

Patients on Medicaid, the state and federally funded program for people with low incomes, already pay a nominal co-payment of a few dollars to fill their prescriptions, but lower prices could help state budgets that fund the programs.

Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett help Raptors halve Cavs' series egde

Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett each scored 33 points Thursday night and the Toronto Raptors defeated the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers 126-104 in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.

Field Level Media

Reserve Jamison Battle scored all of his 14 points in the fourth quarter to ignite a Toronto surge that reduced Cleveland's series lead to 2-1.

Game 4 of the best-of-seven set is scheduled for Sunday in Toronto.

Barnes added 11 assists and five rebounds for the Raptors.

"He did everything for us tonight," Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic said.

Raptors rookie Collin Murray-Boyles had 22 points and eight rebounds, while Brandon Ingram scored 12 points.

Rajakovic said of Murray-Boyles, "He's a warrior, to be honest with you. ... I thought he had a high-level performance tonight, and I contribute that to the power of his will."

James Harden scored 18 points for the Cavaliers, who made 22 turnovers in a careless performance.

Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said of the team's giveaways, "I didn't think our spacing was great. ... (The Raptors were) crowding the paint on our drives. ... They decided they really want to pack it, and I felt like we were trying to thread the needle too much trying to pass it in there."

Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell was held to 15 points, and Max Strus and Evan Mobley also scored 15 each. Jaylon Tyson put up 13 points, and Jarrett Allen contributed 12.

Rajakovic said of holding down Harden and Mitchell, "It was the discipline of the whole team. We tried to make it hard for them. Those guys are so elite."

Toronto took a two-point lead into the fourth quarter. The game was tied for the 13th time when Mobley converted to free throws with 9:53 left. The Raptors went on a 13-4 run to grab a nine-point lead on Battle's third 3-pointer of the quarter with 7:25 to go.

The lead reached 11 on Barrett's trey with 5:41 to play. Battle hit another 3-pointer to bump the margin to 17 with 3:45 left.

Mitchell said, "It's our aggressiveness, our force, I don't think was there tonight as a whole. Give credit where credit's due. We knew it was going to be a tough game. No team wants to go down 3-0. We were right there for the majority of the game, and then Battle kind of got away in the fourth. So just things we can control. I'll give them credit. They protected home court."

The Raptors, who never had a lead in Game 2, were up 31-25 after one quarter of Game 3 as they took advantage of Cleveland's nine turnovers.

The lead reached 10 in the first minute of the second quarter. Tyson's corner trey with 7:58 to play capped a 9-0 Cleveland run that trimmed the margin to one, and Strus drained a 3-pointer to give Cleveland a two-point lead with 52.2 seconds left. Murray-Boyles finished the first-half scoring with a dunk following a Barnes steal to tie the game at 54.

Toronto led by seven after Barnes made two free throws with 8:12 left in the third quarter. Harden immediately answered with six straight points. Strus nailed a 3-pointer to give Cleveland a one-point lead with 3:09 left, but the Raptors regained the advantage on Murray-Boyles' dunk. Barnes swished a 15-footer at the end of the third quarter to give Toronto an 83-81 edge.

US soldier charged with winning $400,000 on Maduro removal bets

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - A U.S. Army soldier involved in planning the capture of Nicolas Maduro has been charged with ‌making $400,000 by betting on the removal of the ousted Venezuelan leader, the ‌Justice Department said on Thursday.

In the weeks leading up to Maduro's January 3 capture, Gannon Ken Van Dyke, ​a Master Sergeant with U.S. Army Special Forces, used sensitive classified information to make wagers on prediction market Polymarket that U.S. forces would enter Venezuela and that Maduro would be out of power.

A grand jury in Manhattan federal court indicted Van Dyke, 38, on charges of ‌unlawful use of confidential government ⁠information for personal gain, theft of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud, and making an unlawful monetary transaction.

The case appeared to mark ⁠the first time the department had brought insider trading charges involving a prediction market.

"Our men and women in uniform are trusted with classified information in order to accomplish their mission ​as safely ​and effectively as possible, and are prohibited from ​using this highly sensitive information for ‌personal financial gain,” Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.

Defense attorney information for Van Dyke was not immediately available. He is expected to be presented before a judge in North Carolina later on Thursday, the Justice Department said.

The Pentagon deferred comment to the Justice Department.

Asked by reporters about the arrest, President Donald Trump said ‌he was not familiar with the case but that ​it reminded him of Pete Rose, who was ​banned from Major League Baseball over ​a gambling scandal.

"That's like Pete Rose betting on his own team," ‌Trump said. "If he bet against his team, ​that would be no ​good, but he bet on his own team. I'll look into it."

In a post on X, Polymarket said it had referred the matter to the Justice ​Department. "Insider trading has no place ‌on Polymarket. Today's arrest is proof the system works," the post read.

Will British Airways flights to Guernsey thrive after a 40-year absence?

British Airwaysis going through a relaunch phase. Kuala Lumpur flights were restored last year. Colombo returns to the BA route network in autumn. From January 2027, the long-dormant Heathrow-Melbourne link will be revived, with the refuelling point switched from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.

The Independent US

Yet none of these longhaul routes will be as emotional as the return ofBritish Airways’ 170-mile connection betweenLondon HeathrowandGuernsey.

At lunchtime on Sunday an Airbus A319 commanded by a Guernseyman took off for the second-largest Channel Island.

Captain Stef Loveridge announced: “This is a special day forGuernsey, for British Airways, and also for some of us on board as we are returning to serve the island after more than 40 years.”

The cabin crew serving champagne on the flight were not yet around in 1980 when BA left the route. All but one were born and bred on Guernsey (the odd one out was conferred with honorary citizenship of the island for the afternoon.)

Now, Melbourne has around 80 times more people than Guernsey (which has a population of approximately 65,000). So why the big fuss about a small island?

Over to David and Sarah McGreevy, who live in Guernsey and were on the flight. I met them at the terminal on arrival, where an excellent school choir sang aviation classics to passengers, meeters and greeters.

“Fantastic,” they chorused.

But Guernsey has long been connected with the world by its own airline,Aurigny. The departures board showed multiple departures to Southampton, Gatwick, London City, Manchester…

So what has BA brought to the table? “It’s really nice to have the connection going to the rest of the world,” said Sarah. “Going in and out of Heathrow is a gamechanger.”

Rival – sorry,sister– island, Jersey already has multiple daily flights to LHR. The biggest Channel Island has a substantially bigger population (about 105,000) than Guernsey and, crucially, a much larger financial services sector. Many of the passengers on the 7am departure from Jersey to Heathrow are connecting to longhaul destinations, a highly lucrative link for British Airways.

Judging by the traffic in Guernsey, the people here are not short of a few bob either. I don’t think I have ever seen so many Range Rovers in the wild. (This is an island where the average road is a country lane and the maximum speed is 35mph.)

BA’s Guernsey restoration is the answer to an operational question: “What can we do with this Airbus A319 for a quick there-and-back in the middle of the day?”

The link might prove a damp, loss-making squib. But it could instead prove to be a big commercial success. Within a couple of hours of arrival at Heathrow Terminal 5 from Guernsey, passengers can connect to New York, Los Angeles, Delhi and Mumbai.

WhileAurignyoffers a spread of six flights during the day to Gatwick, the Sussex airport simply cannot offer anything like the same intercontinental connectivity.

“For the consumer choice is everything,” Zoe Gosling told me. She is lead marketing officer for the States of Guernsey. “If this provides an easier way for people to reach us, then that can only be a good thing for the islands.”

“Easier” is good – and so is “cheaper”. I paid £84 to fly from Gatwick to Guernsey on Aurigny, but only £37 back to Heathrow on British Airways. The Club Europe cabin was completely full; down the back, about one third of the seats were empty. “That’s Guernsey for you,” a senior aviation figure told me.

Aurigny is not exactly delighted that BA is now parking Airbuses on its lawn. The home team airline faces financial challenges, and will not wish its poshest passengers to switch to British Airways. But the evidence is that everyone benefits from increased competition.

For now, those empty economy seats on BA are yours for the taking. Right now you can pay £107 return from Heathrow to Guernsey on the weekend of 9 to 11 May – an ideal introduction to the island that was the first place to which I ever flew, aged six.
