    The New York Post ^ | 06/06/2025 | Diana Glebova
    President Trump is planning on parting ways with all traces of Elon Musk — including the Tesla he bought at full price on March 11. The president is looking to now sell or give away his red Tesla, a White House official confirmed to The Post. The vehicle is currently parked in the White House parking lot and was intended for staff use. Trump made a big show of buying the Tesla weeks ago to support Musk, who was suffering from nation-wide attacks on Tesla vehicles and buildings. But Trump is still hot over his massive fight with Musk that...

    Rosie O’Donnell is looking back at life now, and then. The comedian, 63, recently detailed having a friendship with Lyle Menendez, 57, who along with his brother Erik Menendez, 54, was convicted of the 1989 murders of their parents Kitty and Jose Menendez. “He started calling me on a regular basis from the tablet phone thing they have,” O’Donnell told The New York Times on Saturday. “He would tell me about his life, what he’s been doing in prison and, for the first time in my life, I felt safe enough to trust and be vulnerable and love a straight...

    The loss of friendship is measurable, and can be seen in every age group and demographic -- although working-class Americans look to be hardest hit.. Friendship in America is in steep decline: We’re more disconnected from each other than ever, and the gulf between us is only growing. Does it matter? It does. We know that friendships are good for us. People with stronger social interactions live longer than those without, according to a study published last week in the UK’s Nature Medicine journal. Living with a partner, for example, is as good for physical health as regular exercise, researchers...

    [Catholic Caucus] Bishop Zanchetta Already in Rome with Friend FrancisMonsignor Gustavo Zanchetta, a close friend of Francis and a convicted homosexual abuser, is in Rome.According to MetroNoticias.com.ar (20 November), he is being treated in the Italian capital "because his trusted doctors are there".Zanchetta has heart problems and high blood pressure. It is likely that the first of these two conditions is the reason for his medical trip.On 4 March 2022, the former Bishop of Oran was sentenced to four years and six months in prison for simple homosexual abuse, aggravated by the fact that it was committed by a recognised...

    n the month before Mathew Perry’s death, a doctor the actor contacted to acquire ketamine called him a “moron” in a text message, according to federal prosecutors. A dealer who authorities say supplied the drug to Perry referred to him as “Chandler” — the sarcastic yet sweet-natured character he played on the hit television show “Friends,” court documents say.

    Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.“Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her,” a Democratic insider told The Post. “Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.”“I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option,” another well-placed source told The...

    Sprawled languidly on an ornate silk rug in the palatial home of oil-heiress Ann Getty for a 2004 magazine shoot, San Francisco's new Mayor and his glamorous wife looked entirely deserving of the Harper's Bazaar headline: 'The New Kennedys'. Clearly, the couple thought the glossy fashion mag's Camelot comparison fitting, too. 'Do I think he could be President?' San Francisco's First Lady wondered aloud. 'Absolutely, I'd gladly vote for him.' Whether she still might two decades later seems distinctly unlikely even if the question is, ironically, suddenly more relevant than ever. For she is Kimberly Guilfoyle, now fiancée of Donald...

    CHICAGO — A group of strangers who quickly befriended a man in Wrigleyville ended up robbing him early Saturday morning. The victim stepped out of his Uber on Clark Street, just south of Wrigley Field, when a group of two men and two women started chatting him up around 1:30 a.m., according to initial information. As the man walked home, his new friends tagged along, seeming quite friendly at first.

    According to a Gallup poll, just two in 10 people have a best friend at work. The group that has seen the greatest decline is younger workers: For those age 35 and under, the two-in-10 figure is down from 25 percent in 2019. All of this has gotten some attention since the US Surgeon General’s declaration last year that loneliness can have serious health consequences. “Employees are isolated and lonely,” says Julianne Holt-Lundstad, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University, who posits that the rate of surviving a job for people who are socially connected is 50...

    Jennifer Aniston spoke recently about the state of comedy and what’s considered funny – and what’s not – on the occasion of the debut of her new Netflix comedy Murder Mystery 2 with Adam Sandler. “Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved,” the former Friends star told French news agency AFP. “Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life,” she said, before getting specific. In years past, “you could joke about a bigot and...

    Recently, I lost a friend of over 40 years. It was his choice to terminate our friendship. We had known eachother since college. We reconnected on Facebook for many years, about 12, and rather suddenly tore into me for a variety of criticisms. A little background on him: He recently lost his wife of 30+ years then promptly got covid. I offered my condolences and told him he could reach out for anything at all. Then, upon hearing nothing back, I left him be. I noticed him corresponding more and more with a younger Facebook girl. No worries, not my...
