LONDON: US rapper Macklemore concluded his Free Palestine tour with a sold-out concert at London’s Wembley Arena on Friday, delivering a message of solidarity with Palestinians and calling on artists and audiences to speak out against the suffering in Gaza. The Grammy-winning musician, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, performed before more than 12,500 fans, alongside a lineup of artists including Paloma Faith, Vic Mensa, Nemahsis, Aja Monet, Lucas Jones and Cure for Paranoia, The Independen
Tatum O'Neal was recently spotted enjoying a day out with her family in Los Angeles.
The "Little Darlings" star was photographed at a fan convention with her family, wearing a black dress paired with a coat, glasses and layered necklaces. She styled her hair in an updo and walked outside the convention with the assistance of a cane.
O'Neal was accompanied by her daughter Emily McEnroe and son-in-law Tim Massarelli.
The sighting comes ahead of the actress' 63rd birthday on Nov. 5 and more than six years after she had a near-fatal stroke in May 2020 following an overdose on morphine, opiates and pain medication.
In a July 2023 interview with People, O'Neal and her son, Kevin McEnroe, opened up about the health scare, with her son telling the outlet there were moments when he and his siblings, Sean and Emily "didn't think she was going to survive."
McEnroe shared that in addition to the stroke, O'Neal had multiple seizures and went into cardiac arrest. She spent six weeks in a coma.
O'Neal has struggled with drug addiction for decades, with McEnroe saying she "had become very isolated" during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and had begun abusing medications, including some prescribed to her to treat neck and back pain and rheumatoid arthritis.
"She had become very isolated," he told People. "With the addition of morphine and heavier pharmaceuticals, it was getting scary. COVID, chronic pain, all these things led to a place of isolation. In that place, I don't think, for her, there was much hope."
O'Neal made her feature film debut in the 1973 movie, "Paper Moon," which she starred in alongside her famous father, Ryan O'Neal, at nine years old.
She went on to make history for her role in the film, as the youngest winner of a competitive Academy Award, when she took home the award for best supporting actress at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974, when she was 10 years old.
"All I really want to thank is my director Peter Bogdanovich and my father. Thank you," she said in her acceptance speech.
While she thanked her father in her speech, the two went on to have a turbulent relationship. In her 2004 autobiography, "A Paper Life," Tatum shared that their relationship first became rocky after making "Paper Moon," because he was jealous of her success.
In the book, she also alleged he physically and emotionally abused her, and said he was addicted to drugs.
Ryan O'Neal died in December 2023 at the age of 82 from congestive heart failure, and in a February 2025 interview with Variety, Tatum shared her reaction to being left out of his will, noting she only learned of the decision following his death.
"Keep it, motherf-----," she said. "The first book that I wrote was just a f---ing honest book. And that’s what got him."
Nicole Eggert admitted that finances are a neglected conversation when it comes to fighting cancer.
Eggert, 54, was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in December 2023. Two years later, the actress revealed her cancer status was "NED," or no evidence of disease.
While the "Baywatch" star is a survivor of a club she "never wanted to be a part of," Eggert told Fox News Digital that the financial strains of her battle added an entirely different stressor to her life.
"I'm a 100% single parent," Eggert explained. "One of my daughters is an adult, so she is very self-independent, and she does great, but I do have a teenager still at home ... I have that responsibility, and then I have all the household and homemaker, head of household responsibilities and then the cost of what this diagnosis brings, which is a lot ... really you can't even wrap your head around it."
Eggert noted that the costs consistently "add up," so much so that she was afraid of being able to provide for her family.
"In my line of work, I couldn't commit to being on any kind of production because I'm gonna be in treatment and in and out of treatment ... three-to-five at least days a week," she said. "So, it's not like it's work from home kind of work."
She added, "I had to completely come to the realization that I wasn't gonna have income, and yet the bills don't stop, and the teenagers still need their things, and life needs their things and the car still needs the gas, and you know, all of it."
The "Charles in Charge" actress noted that when she took a step back and truly looked at the disease, "money seemed very trivial."
"It's sort of like, well, 'Ah, I'm alive.' Then, you know, if you have any kind of financial strain, it's like, 'Well, at least you're alive to deal with it,'" she said. "At least you are alive where you can go out and fix it."
She added, "So there's that part too, where suddenly you're like, 'Wow, whatever. It's just it's just money.' And that comes and goes. So, you know, it's ebb and flow of life."
In December 2023, after experiencing unexplained weight gain and pain in her left breast, Eggert was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer.
She underwent her first mastectomy soon after, and later explained that she'd wanted to do a double mastectomy at the time, but her doctor advised that if she just had one breast removed, she'd be able to get into treatment faster, and her immune system wouldn't take as big a hit, so she agreed.

Over a year later, in August 2025, she had her other breast removed, and surgeons performed a reconstruction.
Eggert admitted that one major component in her cancer journey was being able to rely on community.
"You really have to find your community, and you really have to be OK with asking for help or asking other people how they do it, and getting tips and tricks and just all the information you can get," she said. "That's why these conversations are just so, so important and so necessary. Because what else would you do?"
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Eggert partnered with Novartis and shared a little more insight into her cancer journey on the Voices of MORE podcast with Amy Robach and Dr. Helen Coons.
Eggert explained how helpful it can be for women to get together, share stories and find interwoven commonality in experiences.
"If we keep talking about these things, it becomes so much easier to talk about, and maybe we don't feel like we have to hide things anymore because in the past it's not ... it's kind of been a taboo topic," she said. "And now I think more and more women are becoming more comfortable to discuss what their journey looks like, what it feels like, how it's gone for them."
While the past has its place, Eggert is looking forward to the future and spending more time enjoying life to the fullest with her family.
"I also am really looking forward to stepping back into life not having to be in treatment or in the treatment facility with this newfound power and fearlessness that I have, and this new appreciation for life that I have, and It's like this second chance at life," she said.
"I know that that's so cliche, but it's to jump back in with all of these crazy changes that have happened in the past two years, three years. There's been very, very big changes inside myself."
She added, "So to be able to now go back into life and get back into the workforce and get back into doing things I enjoy with this new mindset, it's exciting. It's exciting!"
"A Court of Splintered Harmony" is the sixth "ACOTAR" novel.
Bloomsbury
"A Court of Splintered Harmony" by Sarah J. Maas was published on October 27.
It took readers back to the world of "ACOTAR," but it left them with plenty of questions.
Nesta's future and connection to the prison remain mysterious, as do Azriel's shadows.
"ACOTAR" fans, assemble.
On Tuesday, Bloomsbury published "A Court of Splintered Harmony," the sixth book in Sarah J. Maas' "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series. The book is part one of "The Valkyrie Cycle," which will continue with parts two and three in "A Court of Forgotten Melody," coming out on January 12, 2027. Maas has yet to announce a title or release date for part four.
Since "ACOSH" was just the beginning of a larger story, almost no conflicts were resolved by the end, leaving beloved characters like Feyre, Rhysand, Nesta, and Azriel in turmoil.
Maas will likely tie up some of those plots in book seven or eight, but fans will have to ponder their favorite characters' fates while they wait for the next book.
In the meantime, check out some of the biggest questions "ACOTAR" fans may have after finishing "A Court of Splintered Harmony" — and possible answers from Maas' other series, "Crescent City" and "Throne of Glass."
Spoilers for all three of Maas' series ahead.
Why is Bryaxis different?
In one of the most dramatic scenes in "ACOSH," the big bad monster Bryaxis returns to Velaris. She crashes Feyre and Rhysand's son Nyx's naming day ceremony, tormenting the attendees with visions of their worst fears.
"A Court of Splintered Harmony" by Sarah J. Maas.
Bloomsbury
Bryaxis has always been terrifying to the fae, as she feeds on people's fears, but after the attack, Rhys remarks that she seems "different than when she escaped after the war. Darker."
It's hard not to see what he's saying. In "A Court of Wings and Ruin," Bryaxis helped Feyre when she realized she was High Lady of the Night Court, seeming to feel some affinity to the court, but in "ACOSH," she preyed on Feyre and her friends gleefully.
Rhysand adds that he thinks Koschei's emergence may be related to Bryaxis' change, though he offers no proof. Is Koschei or some other being influencing her? Or is Bryaxis different simply because she's seen the world outside the library?
What did everyone see when Bryaxis attacked?
Maas only shows Bryaxis' attack from Feyre, Azriel, and Nesta's perspectives, and their fears are pretty ghastly.
Feyre is scared of Nyx being tortured or taken from her, while Azriel sees himself hurting everyone he loves. Nesta's tormented with everything from the Cauldron to Cassian rejecting her before she can pull herself out of Bryaxis' hold.
Those fears offer insight into what each character is going through, so it's intriguing that Maas keeps the visions Bryaxis shows Rhysand, Cassian, Amren, Mor, Elain, Lucien, and Emerie a mystery.
Of course, fans can hazard a guess at what some of those characters may have seen. Emerie could be having visions of her father clipping her wings, while Rhysand has made clear Feyre and Nyx are his priority throughout the novel. Amren is heard whispering to herself, "You survived it; you got through it," suggesting she saw visions of the prison or the Cauldron. The Cauldron could have been a fear for Elain too.
The mystery leaves us with an even bigger question: What will these characters do to keep those fears from coming true?
What is Feyre's plan?
Bryaxis' attack has already pushed one character into action: Feyre, who says the incident was "a gift," as she "knew now what I had to do. And I did not fear it at all."
Bryaxis' return helped the High Lady hatch a plan for how to handle the death god Koschei and protect the humans in the fae realms, two problems she and Rhysand were at a loss for how to solve after their allies declined to help them. Feyre even asks her mate to make himself High King as a solution, a proposition he soundly rejects.
Feyre doesn't reveal any details about her new plan before the book ends, though it may have something to do with the sword Gwydion.
After Nesta tries to gift it to her, Feyre tells her sister to keep it "until the blood truly needs to begin spilling," thinking to herself, "Until I did precisely what I needed to do."
Maybe she thinks her plan will lead to violence. Considering she tried to storm the library to kill Bryaxis, it seems she'll do just about anything to protect Nyx.
Who is the fae warrior who trapped Koschei?
The death god Koschei doesn't appear on page in the novel, and it's unclear what creatures or characters he may be controlling, from Bryaxis to the royals from other fae realms.
Most intriguing of the mysteries surrounding him, though, may be the identity of the fae warrior who trapped him. The Bone Carver first revealed that his brother was contained in the lake by an ancient fae warrior in "A Court of Wings and Ruin," saying the warrior's identity had been forgotten by history but that her bloodline is still present in some human families.
"A Court of Wings and Ruin" by Sarah J. Maas.
Bloomsbury
And in "ACOSH," Vassa revealed that she and the other women Koschei has trapped with him are all descendants of that warrior.
"Throne of Glass" may offer clues about who that fae warrior is. The Bone Carver told Feyre that he and his siblings are from another world, and there just so happens to be a world-walking creature trapped in a lake in "Heir of Fire." Is Maas setting up new connections in the Maasiverse?
What is the extent of Elain's powers?
If you spent the five years between "ACOTAR" releases dreaming of learning more about Elain, you're going to have to dream a little longer.
Maas kept Elain's inner thoughts a mystery in "ACOSH," so the reader doesn't know how she feels about Azriel, Lucien, or her place in the Night Court.
They also know very little about Elain's Seer powers, which she gained in "A Court of Mist and Fury" and confirmed she still has in "ACOSH." We never actually see her use them, though, making the powers all the more obscure.
"A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas.
Bloomsbury
But Elain may have hinted she had a vision in the book. After her disastrous tryst with Azriel, she tells her sisters, "I thought I'd found my place, thought I had a future with Azriel, but…" She might be unsure how she feels about Azriel, but the comment may also mean she had a vision showing her that she and the shadowsinger would not be together.
And with Elain repeatedly saying phrases like "I'm not supposed to be here" and "I can't be here" about the Night Court, it's hard not to think she knows more about the future than she's letting on.
What's the deal with Azriel's shadows?
Readers learn a lot about Azriel's shadows in "ACOSH," from how they found him as a child to their weather-detecting abilities (sounds helpful in a world without weather apps). Still, some of their behaviors remain a mystery, like why they repeatedly avoid Elain.
In the book, Azriel's shadows refuse to be in the same room as Elain. Azriel sees their absence as "a gift," though he winds up in trouble because of their absence twice in the novel: during Bryaxis' attack on the naming day ceremony and when Lucien catches him and Elain together.
His shadows also avoid Erebos, a shadowy humanoid who pledged his service to Azriel because of his shadowsinger abilities. Many fans are suspicious of Erebos, who is described as having "golden eyes that simmered like hot coals." You might be extra suspicious if you've read "Empire of Storms" in the "TOG" series, in which another character's "golden eyes simmered like hot coals" (yep, simmering coals again): the Valg King Erawan. Of course, the phrase could be a coincidence, or it could be another sign of the Maasiverse expanding.
Erebos may be connected to "Crescent City," too. He tells Azriel that he could hear his blade, Truth-Teller, sing, as Bryce Quinlan could in "House of Flame and Shadow."
"House of Flame and Shadow" by Sarah J. Maas.
Bloomsbury
Back to the shadows, though. Azriel seems to see it as a sign of Erebos' darkness that his shadows cringe from the creature, even as he views their avoidance of Elain as a positive.
Meanwhile, Azriel's shadows are drawn to the priestess and Valkyrie warrior Gwyn in the text. They race toward her when they hear her singing in the House of Wind and "lingered at her feet, peering up at her" until Azriel summons them back to himself. What do Azriel's shadows really know about the people around him?
We also learn in the book that Azriel has never let his shadows use his full power out of fear of what they may do, so even he doesn't know what they're truly capable of.
What is Nesta's connection to the lost Dusk Court?
At the end of "ACOSH," Nesta winnows to the prison with the sword Gwydion at Amren's behest, but the scene leaves the reader with more questions than answers about Nesta's future.
First, when she arrives at the prison, Nesta asks herself, "Had the bone gates always towered so high? Had the darkness within always been so thick?" It's likely the space looks slightly different to her because she's afraid, but some fans think it's possible Nesta world-walked unintentionally.
Likewise, after Nesta enters the gate, Gwydion lights up — and then disappears. Nesta doesn't know where it went or why before the book ends, but again, "Crescent City" may offer clues.
Gwydion was on Midgard, where it was known as the Starsword, for 15,000 years before Bryce gave it to Nesta at the end of "HOFAS." To bear the Starsword, Starborn Fae on Midgard traditionally enter the Cave of Princes on a misty island called Avallen and attempt to retrieve it (Bryce says the tunnels in the cave are nearly identical to those in Prythian). It's possible Gwydion is putting Nesta through the same trial, disappearing until she proves herself worthy of wielding it.
All those questions also relate to the revelation that the prison was once the Dusk Court, an eighth court in Prythian. Bryce began to awaken its former life before she returned to Midgard in "HOFAS," though it still looks like the prison at the start of "ACOSH." Will Nesta finish reviving the court? And did Amren sense that it was Nesta's path when she encouraged her to go inside it with Gwydion?
"ACOSH" also didn't provide any closure on the Made item in the sea in front of the prison that called "find me" to Nesta (and seemingly Rhysand).
Is there spidersilk in Prythian?
In the novel, the High Priestess Clotho makes and gifts Rhysand and Feyre "a braided, silvery piece of fabric" to bind them to Nyx during his naming day ceremony. Nesta describes the fabric as glistening and delicate, and Clotho says it's one of a kind. It also keeps Rhys and Feyre tethered to their son throughout the attack, indicating its strength.
Later, Lucien notices the "extraordinary silver thread" in a tapestry that hangs in Feyre's home, adding that "it became a river of light" when he looked at it through his magical eye.
Both descriptions of the silver fabric are similar to those of the spidersilk that appears in the "Throne of Glass" series. Made by the massive Stygian spiders — who are Valg handmaidens and foot soldiers — the silk is described "as delicate as gossamer, lovelier than silk, and stronger than steel" in "The Assassin's Blade."
Plus, the cover of "A Court of Forgotten Melody" features a spider with a spool of fabric below it. That imagery could represent a Stygian spider, and fae and other magical creatures from "Throne of Glass" may be influencing the events of "ACOTAR."
"A Court of Forgotten Melody" by Sarah J. Maas.
Bloomsbury
It wouldn't be a total surprise if Maas further incorporated "TOG" into the world of "ACOTAR." Characters related to both series appear in "Crescent City," and a character from "TOG" briefly falls through the sky in Prythian during the events of "A Court of Silver Flames."
We'll have to wait until January 2027 to see what Maas has planned.
Tim McGraw was pushed to the brink while filming Taylor Sheridan's Western drama "1883."
The country music superstar revealed that the brutal production schedule left him questioning how much longer he could keep going. Between 14-hour shooting days, six-day workweeks and late-night flights for concert performances, McGraw said the grueling experience was unlike anything he and his wife, Faith Hill, had faced before.
"If it had gone on any longer, I probably wouldn't have survived, put it that way," McGraw told Esquire.
The "Live Like You Were Dying" singer described the demands of filming the "Yellowstone" prequel.
"I learned a lot, certainly because it was such a tough shoot," McGraw said. "I think we shot for right around six months. It was a long shoot. Five or six months. It was close to it. And we shot mostly six days a week, and like 14 hours a day."
But filming wasn't McGraw's only commitment.
The country star was also juggling concerts, sometimes going straight from the set to an airplane before returning home in the middle of the night and starting the cycle again just hours later.
"And during that time, I had a handful of shows that I had to do," he explained. "So there were times that I would finish up around six o'clock in the evening, jump on a plane, go do a show and then get home at 1:00 in the morning, then be in the gym at 3:00 and be in the makeup chair at 5:30, 6:00. So, I had a few of those."
Although "1883" followed the Duttons' journey from Texas to Montana, much of the series was filmed in Texas before production moved north. The cast also endured a rigorous cowboy camp, learning to ride, rope, work cattle and shoot guns before filming began.
"We all got to do it together, which was an incredible experience," "1883" co-star Eric Nelsen previously told Fox News Digital. "But it was a time for us to get comfortable on our horses, to learn how to cut cattle, how to rope, how to shoot guns – all the things we're going to have to do on the show."
The real test came on set. McGraw and Hill recalled filming a dangerous river crossing around 3 a.m. on their 25th wedding anniversary, with temperatures hovering around 36 or 37 degrees, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The grueling schedule left little room for sleep or recovery.
"I told Faith it was probably the hardest job we've ever had. I had some hard jobs growing up."
McGraw then revealed how close the demanding schedule had pushed him to his limit.
Despite the physical demands, McGraw said the experience was worth it, particularly because he got to work alongside Hill and Sheridan.
"It was tough, but it was worth it because we were getting to work together, and we were getting to work with Taylor, who was fantastic, and like I said, a brilliant writer."
McGraw also said he gained a greater appreciation for preparation, explaining that the demanding production taught him the importance of arriving on set ready to work.
Although McGraw had previously appeared in films, "1883" marked his first major role in a television series. The demanding shoot also required McGraw to contend with unpredictable conditions on set.
"The elements were always fighting us, and you were working with animals, and you were working with extras, and you were working with horses, which I grew up riding horses, so it was fun for me," McGraw said.
"But I think I learned more than anything is there's so much value in preparing. And the more you prepare and the more you're ready to do what you're going to do, it takes away a lot of the nervousness."
McGraw and Hill starred as James and Margaret Dutton in "1883," which follows the couple's perilous journey across the Great Plains in search of a new life in Montana.
"1883" traces the roots of the Dutton family's Montana ranching legacy, long before the events of "Yellowstone."
Sheridan initially tapped McGraw for a flashback appearance in the fourth season of "Yellowstone" before developing the standalone prequel, which debuted in December 2021.
At age 26, Allyn Rose made a life-changing decision after cancer had devastated her family.
The model, who competed in both the Miss America and Miss USA pageants, underwent a preventive double mastectomy, a decision she said even sparked "hate mail" from critics. Today, the mother of two is the founder of The Previvor, a nonprofit organization that educates women about breast cancer risk and prevention options. Oct. 31 marks the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"I know a lot of people think that's a pretty radical choice for someone who hadn't been diagnosed with breast cancer yet," Rose, now 38, told Fox News Digital. "But I lost my mom when I was 16. And by the time I was 16, I had lost my grandmother, my great aunt, almost every woman in my family to this disease. And I said that legacy ends with me."
"I don't want that to be my story," she said. "I don't want to have to tell my 16-year-old daughter someday that she's going to have to spend the rest of her life without her mom. This sad family legacy was not going to take my life if I had anything to do with it."
Rose's mother, Judy Rose, was first diagnosed with breast cancer at 27 and had her right breast removed. The cancer later developed in her remaining breast, reaching stage 3, according to People magazine. Judy died at 51.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S. after skin cancers, accounting for about 1 in 3 new cancer cases diagnosed in women each year, according to the American Cancer Society. About 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop breast cancer during their lives.
WATCH: ALLYN ROSE CHOSE DOUBLE MASTECTOMY AT 26 SO CANCER LEGACY 'ENDS WITH ME'
The organization estimates that 321,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among U.S. women in 2026 and that about 42,140 women will die from the disease.
Rose was considered at elevated risk of developing breast cancer because of her extensive family history. In 2012, she was crowned Miss District of Columbia, earning the opportunity to represent the district at the 2013 Miss America pageant. That same year, at 24, Rose announced her decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy. She had the surgery two years later, at 26.
For women with a strong family history of breast cancer, a bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy can lower the risk of developing the disease by up to 90%, according to the National Cancer Institute. The procedure does not eliminate the risk entirely because it is impossible to remove all breast tissue that could become cancerous.
"So much of my life and my identity was wrapped up in the way that I looked and how I presented myself to the world," Rose said. "I paid my bills and my rent with the way that I looked. I didn't think [my looks] were 100% of my identity, but I would be lying if I didn't consider the repercussions of having a surgery like this. It would very likely end my modeling career, my career in pageantry, my career really in the entertainment industry. There were so few women talking about having a procedure like this and coming out on the other side."
"I wasn't married," she said. "I didn't have any children. These were all conversations I was going to have with a future partner someday. And so, it was a really tough choice, and it's one that I'm glad that I made, but it's very difficult to make the decision to have a surgery to prevent a cancer that didn't exist yet."
With her father's support, Rose underwent a preventive double mastectomy to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer. She ended up having three surgeries, including reconstruction, and went through what she described as "very graphic periods of looking completely different, having no breasts, wondering who is ever going to be happy looking at me like this."
"[Losing my mother] drastically impacted my life, not only because it was my mother, but because I didn't know how to be a woman yet," she said. "[When I lost her] I hadn't even gotten my driver's license. I hadn't graduated from high school. I hadn't sent myself off to college yet. I spent a lot of those real pinnacle years of my life without a mentor, without someone to guide me through that. It was a very challenging time really, having to be my own cheerleader, experience all those crowning achievements in my life by myself."
"But I think I've come out stronger on the other side of it," Rose said.
Rose said she received hate mail over her decision, while her father also faced criticism after people learned he had encouraged his daughter to undergo the double mastectomy.
"To see a young person who walked on the Miss USA stage, who worked full-time as a model, who was really in this beauty industry — choosing to almost end my career to prolong my life seemed like a foreign concept," Rose said.
"And there were a lot of radical responses to my decision. I got hate mail. My father received hate mail. People just couldn't fathom that I would take this preventative step. But I didn't want cancer to be part of my story. I wanted it to end with me."
Rose made her decision before actress Angelina Jolie publicly revealed that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after genetic testing showed she carried a harmful BRCA1 gene variant.
In a May 2013 New York Times op-ed, Jolie explained that her mother had battled cancer for nearly a decade before dying at 56. Jolie said her doctors estimated she had an 87% risk of developing breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. She chose to have both breasts removed, which she said reduced her estimated breast cancer risk to less than 5%.
Jolie, who was 37 at the time, said she shared her experience so other women could better understand their own risks and options.
Rose said she thought her modeling career was over. But in 2019, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit featured her, making her the first woman who had undergone a double mastectomy to appear in the publication.
Today, Rose travels across the country to raise awareness about "the power in prevention."
"The thing I wish someone had told me when I was first navigating this was that there is a light at the end of the tunnel," Rose said. "Everything was a question. It was this fear of the unknown. But I said to myself, 'I'm going to still chase all of those dreams. I'm going to go accomplish all the things that I wanted to.'"
When she looks back on her journey, one person comes to mind: her mother, Judy.
"I do think about what my mom would think, and I know she would be incredibly proud of me," Rose said, fighting back tears. "One of the last things she said to me was, 'Don't let my life be in vain.' And I made a promise to her that I would make use of every day that she didn't have. And so, that has been my mission from the day that she passed to ensure that I could help as many women as possible not have to walk their lives without their mom. That's my goal."
"I have two children," Rose said. "They don't have the same gene mutation that I have. They no longer have an increased risk of cancer. And that legacy ended with me, and I know my mom would be very proud that I did that."
During an interview with Fox News Digital, the actor, who stars in the newly released movie "The Mongoose," discussed how he stays in such good shape at 74.
"No, I don't go to a gym at all, but it behooves me, any actor or actress playing a lead, it behooves you to have a level of fitness," Neeson said. "You don't have to spend two hours in the gym every day. I used to, many years ago, but I keep reasonably fit."
Neeson said that staying in shape year round allows him to jump back into action scenes for movies.
"If I read a script, or Mark [Vanselow, director of ‘The Mongoose’] sends me a script and there's physical action sequences, I like doing my own fights. I can still do them up to a point," he said. "If there's physical stuff like that then, I'll increase my physical workout activity a little bit."
The biggest change Neeson has made to his fitness routine as he's gotten older has been incorporating daily walks.

"I think, just generally the importance of it. Should it just be a walk every day — you know what I mean? And you know, I'm so lucky. I'm 74 years of age, and I'm so lucky to occasionally still get offered this type of role," Neeson said, referring to his latest movie, "The Mongoose."
"The Mongoose" released in theaters on Oct. 30.
"The Mongoose" director, Mark Vanselow, joined Neeson during the interview and praised him for his "willingness to do what it takes to get it done."

"As far as the amount of training it requires and the time you put in," Vanselow added. "And then being willing to be flexible in that and try to create something new all the time, which is, you, I think what we're both trying to do with some of this action, but in movies in general."
Paul Bettany's return to the Marvel universe came with an unexpected injury.
An over-the-top performance on the set of Marvel's "VisionQuest" left him with a gruesome eye injury that lasted two weeks.
"So, I was pretending to have a device on my head that is doing something to my brain, and I was just wildly overacting. And I blew out about 10 blood vessels in my eye," he explained during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
And despite playing a character known for his superhuman vision, Bettany admitted his own eyesight was far from perfect.
"I mean the irony is the actor playing Vision is kind of myopic, you know. I can't see a thing when I take my glasses off, which is great depending on the actor," he joked.
Bettany reprised his role as Vision for the Disney+ series – the final chapter of a television trilogy that began with "WandaVision" in 2021 and continued with "Agatha All Along" in 2024.
In "VisionQuest," Bettany portrays a rebuilt version of Vision who is struggling to understand his identity and recover a sense of purpose.
"So when we find vision, he has had his memories restored, but he is unable or perhaps unwilling to attach any feelings to them," Bettany told Kimmel. "And he is living a very quiet life in a pub in Scotland where he works."
"At night he goes and lives in the fridge freezer, and he goes inside his own head and in that head is a kind of what we call the mind space, and it's a mansion," he explained, comparing the concept to the movie "Inside Out."
"In that head, in that mansion are a bunch of different AIs who have differing personalities that help him sort of sift through the data of the day and understand humanity," he added.
Bettany got his start in the Marvel universe as J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony Stark's artificial intelligence assistant. His new character, Vision, was created when the Avengers uploaded J.A.R.V.I.S.'s AI into a synthetic body originally designed by Ultron, using the Mind Stone to bring him to life.
"Do AI companies try to get you to do J.A.R.V.I.S. for them?" Kimmel asked.
"Gosh, I wish," he said. "I would be hanging up my acting."
"Maybe that is a seed that has now been planted," Kimmel joked.
Thanks to the latest technology, Harry Houdini is making his return from the grave — just in time for the 100th anniversary of his death.
The new three-part Fox Nation series, "Houdini: Back from the Dead," uses artificial intelligence to revive the 20th-century entertainer and show audiences his life story and the death-defying stunts that defined a generation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, one minute and 20 seconds, that's all they can find of my real voice," an AI-generated version of the acclaimed escape artist said in the show's introduction. "A scratchy recording, barely audible — but it is enough."
The series conducted a mock interview with Houdini using advanced technology, asking him about his fears and the risk of accidents during his awe-inspiring tricks.
"Showmanship is the largest factor in any act," the AI conjuring of Houdini said. "But the truth is, I've faced death hundreds, even thousands of times. For example, take the upside down. I'll never be able to make anything as dangerous or difficult. For its debut performance, I had to burl in — the danger is very real. I'm loaded into stirrups by my ankles and lowered in. The cover is made to fit tightly onto the steel frame, and then padlocked."
The series brings not just the legendary illusionist back to life, but also those closest to him — including his wife, mother, brother and friends — allowing them to recount his career, personal relationships and most daring feats.
Red Rock Films, the production company behind the series, made Fox Nation history at the show's release as "Houdini: Back from the Dead" became the platform's first full-length, multi-episode production that relied entirely on AI-generated imagery.
To create historically accurate visuals, filmmakers drew on more than 400 historic photographs and archival footage. Actors provided the movements, mannerisms, and performances of the historical figures, while technology transformed their appearances.
"Fox Nation is breaking new creative ground by using emerging technology to bring one of history's most fascinating figures to life for a modern audience," Lauren Petterson, president of the platform, said in a press release.
Houdini died exactly 100 years ago on October 31, 1926. One century later, fans can now gain new access to the passionate performer's life and legacy by subscribing to Fox Nation.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors have dropped a felony charge against rapper Rick Ross a month after he was arrested in Miami Beach when a woman he was living with told police he hit her, court records said.
Lauren Burns was dressed in a cheerleader costume for Halloween weekend in 1987 when she climbed into her father's car. But instead of taking her trick-or-treating, he drove the 7-year-old to the airport and flew her thousands of miles from her Dallas home.
Ali Bayan assured the little girl that the trip to his home country of Jordan was a "surprise" — and that her mother, Cathy Mahone, knew all about it. But as days turned into weeks and her father refused to let her speak to her mother, Burns began to realize she might never return home.
"I didn't think I would ever see my mother again," Burns recalled to Fox News Digital.
Burns recounts the abduction and the international rescue mission it sparked in her memoir, "Stolen." Her childhood friend, country music superstar Miranda Lambert — whose family played a crucial role in bringing Burns home — wrote the foreword.
Fox News Digital reached out to Lambert for comment.

"All I ever knew was that kind of upbringing. I went between two homes. My mother had full custody of me when I was six weeks old, but she did not want to keep me from my father. He was a good dad. He was loving and kind. I saw him almost every other weekend or maybe extra if she needed help. They had a good relationship despite the reasons that they had gotten divorced."
During the drive to the airport, Burns wondered why her stepmother and siblings weren't coming along.
"He'd never done anything to make me feel like I couldn't trust him," Burns said. "He was my dad, my provider. He was the one that loved me dearly. So, if he tells me something, I'm going to trust him. But it didn't quite add up."
Burns' parents met while Mahone, a Christian, was working as a waitress and Bayan, a Muslim, was studying engineering in Texas. Mahone had full custody, but Bayan, who owned a restaurant in Dallas, saw his daughter regularly. There were "no red flags," Burns said, until that Halloween weekend.
The Monday after Halloween weekend, Mahone went to Burns' elementary school to have lunch with her, as she typically did. She expected to hear about her daughter's weekend of trick-or-treating with her father. Instead, she discovered that Burns had never arrived at school. She soon learned that her ex-husband had abducted their daughter and taken her to Jordan.
A desperate Mahone rushed to a pay phone. She called the one man she believed could help her: Miranda Lambert's father, Rick Lambert. The former Dallas police officer ran a private detective agency with his wife, Beverly.
"Rick and Beverly were home," Burns said. "They got Miranda, they moved out of their house, and they were with my mom day and night trying to figure out a way to help my mom get me back. They were calling everyone they knew. Rick pulled some strings and got an appointment at the Dallas County Courthouse, so my mom could try to get a warrant out for my father's arrest."
The Lamberts had known Mahone for years, long before Burns and Miranda were born. Their friendship began when Mahone worked for Miranda's grandmother, Wanda, at an apartment complex.
Until then, Burns had traveled only to Florida to visit her grandmother. Now, the 7-year-old was in the Middle East, unable to speak Arabic and struggling to adjust to unfamiliar customs and a different way of life.
"I had to cover my hair," Burns said. "I could not wear shorts. We had to take our shoes off and wash our feet. There were no toilets. It was a hole in the ground with a chain above. I had never seen anything like that. Even the way we ate, it was a communal type of eating. You would sit on the floor with a big rug that was underneath and big plates of food, fresh food. You could smell all the different spices and the fresh hummus. We would all sit together, and you would eat with your hands."
But for Burns, the most painful change was in the father she had always trusted. Once in Jordan, the man she viewed as her protector became "distant."

"I quickly realized that my father was not going to take care of me in Jordan, like he did in Texas," she said. "It was different roles that I didn't quite understand. I quickly got the sense that it was my grandmother and aunt's job to take care of me because it wasn't the man's job to take care of the child. But at a time in my life when there was so much confusion, I really needed my father. I really needed my mother, and I didn't have that either."
Back in Texas, Mahone learned that the lack of an extradition treaty with Jordan severely limited the U.S. government's ability to help her.
Determined to get her daughter back, Mahone turned to a North Carolina-based security firm staffed by former special operations personnel. She paid the team $80,000 and sold her jewelry to cover living expenses. There was no guarantee she would see her daughter again.
The team spent weeks searching for Burns before tracking her to Jerash, Jordan, where Bayan had enrolled her in school. Mahone accompanied the team to Jordan, disguising herself as they prepared to rescue her daughter.
Burns was sitting on a school bus when she spotted her mother.
"My mom had her hair covered," Burns said. "She came over and tapped the window. I looked straight into my mother's eyes and all I could think of was that it looks just like my mom, but how can it be? I thought I was dreaming. My mom started motioning me to come and get off the bus, but I froze. So, she had to push her way onto the bus."
As Mahone boarded the bus and grabbed her daughter, a school chaperone jumped on Mahone's back and tried to stop her. Mahone fought back, punching the woman in the nose before rushing Burns off the bus and into a waiting car.
The rescue team then drove Burns and Mahone toward the Israeli border, crossing the Allenby Bridge into Israel before making their way back to the United States.
"They put me on the floorboard of a car, they covered me up with blankets, and we sped off," Burns said.
Three months after her abduction, Burns finally returned to the United States, where family and friends — including a young Lambert — were waiting to welcome her home.
"The first person I saw when I was coming down that runway was Miranda," Burns said, fighting back tears.
"She was probably four or five years old, a little thing with this blonde hair. She was running and pushing past all the other people … And when we got home, my aunt had left every single Christmas tree up. She refused to take down the decorations because she said, 'Lauren will come home and we will celebrate Christmas.' So we celebrated Christmas and opened presents that year in January when I returned."
But returning home did not mean the ordeal was over. Fearing Bayan might abduct Burns again, Mahone kept her daughter in hiding, repeatedly moving to protect her. Burns said she had moved 14 times by the time she reached high school, leaving her struggling to find a sense of stability.
As a teenager, Burns grew increasingly angry. Beverly urged Mahone to let Burns stay at the Lamberts' farmhouse in Lindale, Texas — the same home Miranda Lambert later sang about in "The House That Built Me" — to help her through a difficult period.
Beverly quickly welcomed Burns into her church community and even "handpicked my friends," as Burns recalled, determined to surround the struggling teenager with positive influences. With the Lamberts by her side, Burns grew stronger in her Christian faith. She "hated Father's Day" for years, but always wrote a card to Rick Lambert, who became a father figure in her life.
The bond endured as Burns grew up alongside Lambert, whom she described as "like a little sister to me." Long before Lambert became a country music superstar, Burns knew her as the little girl whose family had welcomed her into their home.
Bayan was indicted while abroad and arrested in 1990 after returning to the United States, People magazine reported. He was sentenced to eight years' probation.
Burns was in high school when she finally confronted him, asking why he had abducted her.
"He wanted to raise me in his country, with his family," Burns said. "The only way he could do that was to take me. He wanted me to be raised in his beliefs and his culture. He said, 'I felt like I was doing the best thing for you.'"
While Burns forgave Bayan, they have not spoken since 2019, People magazine reported. Fox News Digital could not reach Bayan for comment.
"If my seven-year-old self could look at my life today," Burns said, "she would say, 'There is hope.' There is healing on the other side of forgiveness. There is freedom when you can let go. There is life, abundant life. And there is a way out."
