Hollywood actress and America’s Got Talent judge, Sofia Vergara, shocked fans on Sunday after revealing she had to be rushed to the emergency room with a sudden eye condition.

According to Daily Mail, the 53-year-old star was scheduled to present at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards but couldn’t make it. Sharing updates from a hospital bed, she wrote on Instagram:

“Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER. Sorry I had to cancel! Craziest eye \[allergy] right before getting in the car!”

Sofia also posted a video showing herself rinsing her eye with a special medical faucet as she tried to get relief.

Well wishes quickly poured in from celebrities. Terry Crews told her to “get well soon,” Snoop Dogg dropped praying hands emojis, while supermodel Linda Evangelista advised her to see a dermatologist. DJ Diplo and Elizabeth Chambers also sent love and healing vibes.

The actress is now recovering as she looks forward to celebrating her son Manolo’s 34th birthday this week.

A convicted felon in Washington has been accused of impersonating a police officer after showing up at multiple emergency scenes while equipped with police gear, according to authorities.

Michael Scaletta-Teates, 39, was arrested on September 5 in Bremerton, Wash., after responding to an active crime scene in a dark uniform, tactical vest, and a metallic badge marked “Edmonds Police Department.” His vest also displayed “police” and “SWAT” patches.

Body camera footage showed a Bremerton officer initially mistaking him for a real detective. “I thought you were one of our detectives at first,” the officer told him.

Scaletta-Teates also appeared at other incidents, including a trespassing call and a reported parking garage fire. He drove an unmarked Ford Explorer outfitted with blue lights and claimed to be both a part-time security guard and a police officer in Edmonds, about 35 miles away.

When asked for his credentials, he introduced himself as “Mezzy Scaletta” but could not provide a commission card. A call to Edmonds Police confirmed that he had never been employed there.

Officers searching his vehicle noticed gear suggesting he was prepared to impersonate other professions as well. “He’s got a firefighter helmet too — he’s ready to do it all,” one officer remarked.

Scaletta-Teates was booked into Kitsap County Jail on charges of first-degree criminal impersonation and unlawful possession of a firearm.Court records show a history of criminal behavior. In 2016, he was convicted in North Carolina for making a bomb threat and served 185 days in prison. Despite his record, he recently worked as a security guard for The Salvation Army in Bremerton, where staff described him as “intimidating.”

Witnesses also claimed he had been filmed in a separate incident at a 7-Eleven, posing as a police officer and ordering customers around.

A Zambian court has sentenced two men to two years in prison for attempting to use witchcraft to kill President Hakainde Hichilema.

According to the BBC, Leonard Phiri, a Zambian national, and Jasten Mabulesse Candunde, a Mozambican, were convicted under Zambia’s Witchcraft Act after their arrest in December 2024. Police said the men, believed to be practising witchdoctors, were found in possession of assorted charms, including a live chameleon.

Delivering judgment, Judge Fine Mayambu said the evidence proved the men intended to use the charms against the president. “It is my considered view that the convicts were not only the enemy of the head of state but were also enemies of all Zambians,” he declared.

The trial, which drew widespread public attention, was the first in Zambia involving an alleged attempt to use witchcraft against a sitting president. Authorities said the pair had been hired by a fugitive former lawmaker to target Hichilema.

Despite claiming to be traditional healers, the court noted the men admitted ownership of the charms. Phiri reportedly demonstrated that pricking the tail of the chameleon and using it in a ritual could cause death within five days.

Their lawyer, Agrippa Malando, pleaded for leniency on the grounds that they were first-time offenders who could be fined instead of imprisoned. The court, however, rejected the plea. Judge Mayambu stressed that the Witchcraft Act, which dates back to 1914, still serves to shield society from fear and manipulation.

“The question is not whether the accused are wizards or actually possess supernatural powers. It is whether they represented themselves as such, and the evidence clearly shows they did,” he ruled.

Both men were sentenced to two years for professing witchcraft and six months for possessing charms, but the terms will run concurrently, meaning they will serve two years effective from their December 2024 arrest.

Legal expert Dickson Jere described such prosecutions as rare, noting that the Witchcraft Act was originally designed to protect vulnerable groups, particularly elderly women, from mob violence sparked by accusations of sorcery.

The conviction comes as witchcraft remains a sensitive subject in Zambia, also featuring in disputes over the burial of former President Edgar Lungu, who died in South Africa in June. The government has insisted he be buried in Zambia, against his family’s wishes, a stance critics allege is tied to occult considerations.

Tennis player Jatuporn Na Lamphun has been handed a lifetime ban from the sport after being found guilty of multiple match-fixing offences, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced.

The 31-year-old was found to have been involved in, or attempted to fix, 22 matches between 2023 and 2024. The ITIA confirmed that in 18 of those matches, the charges included giving or offering money.

In addition to the lifetime suspension, Na Lamphun was also fined £84,000 after violating the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP).

The Thai player, who is currently unranked, did not respond to the charges brought against him and refused to cooperate with the investigation. The ITIA noted that while he had already been under a temporary suspension, his lack of response and cooperation prompted the enforcement of a permanent ban, effective from August 20.

He also did not appeal the decision at an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer, meaning the ruling stands.

The lifetime sanction prevents Na Lamphun from playing, coaching, or attending any tennis event organised by major governing bodies, including the ATP, WTA, ITF, Wimbledon, the French Tennis Federation, Tennis Australia, the USTA, or any national association affiliated with the sport.

This is not the first time Na Lamphun has faced disciplinary action. In 2016, he served an 18-month suspension after admitting to three breaches of the anti-corruption rules between July and November 2014. At the time, he was fined £3,700 following a ruling by Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Ian Mill QC.

Na Lamphun contested parts of his 2016 case but was later found guilty of an additional charge for failing to cooperate with a Tennis Integrity Unit investigation, which formed the basis of his suspension.

The ITIA’s latest ruling means his career in tennis is effectively over, with the agency stressing that players who engage in corruption or refuse to cooperate with investigations will face the sport’s most severe sanctions.

The sole survivor of June’s devastating Air India crash, Leicester businessman Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, may never return to Britain after being left “deeply traumatised” by the tragedy that claimed 260 lives.

Ramesh, 40, was seated in 11A when the aircraft went down. He managed to escape with cuts to his face and chest injuries, but his younger brother, Ajay, 35, was among those killed. The emotional toll has been overwhelming for Ramesh, who is currently receiving counselling in India.

“I think he will stay over there because he would be too frightened to get on a plane again,” his brother-in-law told The Daily Mail UK. His wife, Hiral, and their four-year-old son had flown to India to be by his side but have since returned to Britain. “He is still having treatment,” Hiral confirmed.

The trauma has not been limited to Ramesh alone. Families of other British victims say they have been left reeling from what they describe as a “severe lack of communication” from both Indian authorities and the UK Foreign Office. They allege that some victims’ remains were either mixed up or lost, compounding their grief.

In a strongly worded letter to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, the families wrote: “Silence and a severe lack of communication force us to bring this to your attention. We feel abandoned.”

Seeking justice and clarity, the bereaved families have now launched legal action to obtain Air India’s maintenance and pilot records. For many of them, closure remains elusive, as questions persist about how such a catastrophic crash could have occurred.

Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, killed him because he hated his opinions and thought he was a fascist. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist, killing someone to silence their opposing views.
The woke left love to say ‘speech is violent.’
It’s not - violence is.

💔 A man UNALIVED his ex-wife after finding out she INVESTED his money while he was in prison.

She flipped his profits into success and moved on while he sat in prison. When he came home, she had already divorced him, blocked him, and found someone new. Instead of starting over, he chose revenge… confronting her and ending it all.

Loved ones say she was chasing a brighter future, but his jealousy turned deadly 🕊️
