- Mussolini’s Granddaughter Wins Italian Big Brother Show With $116,000 Prize
Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and a former member of European Parliament, was announced as the winner of Italy’s version of the reality television show Celebrity Big Brother on Tuesday. After beating 15 other contestants, Mussolini was declared the winner of Grande Fratello VIP and awarded its $116,000 prize – half of which will reportedly be donated to charity. “I enjoyed everything to the fullest, just as I am. I regret nothing,” said Mussolini following her victory. Mussolini served several terms as a member of the European Parliament between 2004 and 2024, and was also elected to the Italian Senate in 2013 and the Chamber of Deputies in 2008 and 1992, representing a number of right-wing parties, including the Italian Social Movement, the National Alliance, Social Action, and Forza Italia. She is currently a member of Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s political party Lega. Mussolini also previously worked as an actress and a singer, releasing the Japanese city pop album Amore in 1982, which saw her sing in a mixture of Italian, Japanese, and English. In recent years, Mussolini’s 80s city pop songs – including the tracks Tokyo Fantasy and Tears – have gone viral on social media, gaining millions of views on YouTube. Mussolini’s recent appearance on Grande Fratello VIP was not her first foray in reality television. In 2020, Mussolini also took part in Italy’s version of Dancing With the Stars – Ballando con le Stelle – coming in third place. In addition, Mussolini appeared as a judge on the 2006 reality television show La pupa e il secchione, co-hosted a Sunday talk show in the early 1980s, and voiced Marge Simpson’s friend Tammy in an episode of the Italian dub of The Simpsons.

Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), for voting against him in Congress and warned that typically “doesn’t work out well” for conservative lawmakers. Trump went on a mini-rant against Fitzpatrick when Heinrich asked him a question at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday morning. Rather than answering Heinrich’s question about whether he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump turned to the other reporters flanking Heinrich and called out her “husband,” although that is incorrect, since the two are still only engaged. “But her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine?” a miffed Trump said. “I don’t know what’s with him. You better ask him what’s with him. Her husband, she’s married to a certain congressman and he likes voting against Trump,” the president continued, referring to himself in the third person. “You know what happens with that — Doesn’t work out well. I don’t know why he does but…” He then moved onto another question. Trump was not wrong about Fitzpatrick going against him a lot,. In fact, Fitzpatrick had the lowest “Trump score” — a figure started by the website FiveThirtyEight to measure how often Republican lawmakers side with Trump on legislation — out of all representatives at one point last year; Fitzpatrick “voted with Trump least frequently among Republicans, at 51.37 percent,” The Hill reported in October 2025. Fitzpatrick also voted against Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” last year — making him one of only two GOP lawmakers to do so, along with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). That’s who Trump seemed to be referencing on Wednesday morning when he said it doesn’t go “well” for Republicans who oppose him, since Massie just lost his seat in Congress after Trump endorsed and campaigned for his primary challenger.

- James Murdoch Buys New York Mag and Vox Brands in Sweeping $300M Deal
(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) James Murdoch, son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, will take control of New York magazine and slate of Vox sub-brands in a sweeping deal revealed Wednesday and valued at $300 million. The agreement places ownership of New York, Vox.com, and the Vox Media Podcast Network under the umbrella of his investment firm, Lupa Systems. The acquisition gives Murdoch oversight of a stable of digital publishing brands, including Intelligencer, Vulture, The Cut, Curbed, and Grub Street, alongside Vox and a podcast portfolio that includes Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. The entities will continue under the Vox Media name. The deal also marks a symbolic return for the Murdoch family to New York magazine, previously owned by Rupert Murdoch, who sold it in 1991. In 2020, however, James Murdoch broke with his father when he resigned from the board of News Corp, citing “disagreements” over editorial decisions. Speaking about his new acquisition in a statement on Wednesday published by The Hollywood Reporter, he said. “This acquisition aligns well with our existing holdings and investments and reflects both our interest in the forward edge of culture and our deep commitment to ambitious journalism and agenda-setting conversations. It will allow us to apply new tools across the businesses we are building, adding substantial production, distribution, and editorial capability to our group.” Vox Media chief executive Jim Bankoff, who will remain involved in the new company, lauded the deal and said it positioned the properties to become the “best home for talent and the most dynamic media company of this new era.” Several Vox Media brands, including The Verge, Eater, and SB Nation, are not included in the transaction. Ryan Pauley, who served as Vox’s chief revenue officer, will lead the remaining company assets, which will continue operations under a separate independent entity.The post James Murdoch Buys New York Mag and Vox Brands in Sweeping $300M Deal first appeared on Mediaite.

Sorkin sat down with Bezos for a wide-ranging interview from Florida for Squawk Box where the pair discussed everything from President Donald Trump to taxes to Amazon’s controversial Melania Trump documentary. Sorkin also pressed Bezos on recent sweeping layoffs at The Post and whether Bezos wants to own the media outlet at all. “When I bought The Post, it was very unprofitable when I brought it. The newsroom was even smaller than it is today. We turned it around in two years, it was profitable for six years. I put all that money back in The Post and grew the newsroom, so we’ve shrunk it back some now. But we haven’t shrunk it back to what it was when I bought it,” Bezos told Sorkin. “So what do you think went wrong then?” Sorkin asked. Bezos explained that he felt his paper did not properly “adapt” and needed more financial discipline. Check out the exchange below: ANDREW ROSS SORKIN: One of the critiques, by the way, and this is may be the wealth critique and everything else, is, you know, we just said the company laid off about 30% of its staff and there’s a lot of people out there who said, Jeff’s super wealthy, he’s talked about this being a public trust, it’s something that he bought early on, how much do you care about that piece of it? Why lay people up? Why fire people? Why are you subsidizing the business if in fact — JEFF BEZOS: Because The Post needs to be a profitable enterprise that stands on its own two feet. SORKIN: But does it? BEZOS: Yes. SORKIN: That’s a question because some people say it should be a trust. BEZOS: Let me tell you why. Because it’s a measure of its relevance. If people won’t pay for our product, we’re not doing — it’s not a good enough product. It’s like, you know, doing — it would be like poetry without rhyming. It’s too easy. So, we want — it’s got to be something that people will pay for, because that’s a signal. It’s a sign that we’re providing a relevant service. Your paper, The New York Times, you guys make a… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Bryson DeChambeau Casts Doubt on Famous Video of Astronaut Playing Golf on Moon:...Professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau told Katie Miller he doesn’t believe the footage of astronauts playing golf on the moon was real. The revelation came on the latest episode of The Katie Miller Podcast. At one point in the conversation, Miller asked him if he’d rather win The Masters but only eat vegetables at the Champions Dinner, or play golf on the moon but never win a Masters tournament. As the scenario stumped DeChambeau, Miller followed up by asking if DeChambeau believed the footage of Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard playing golf on the moon in February 1971 was real. “Oh, I don’t– here we– conspiracy theories,” he said. “I don’t know. Look, Elon says we’ve definitely gone there, so I tend to go that route because he’s the man that knows quite a bit about all that. Artemis just went around the moon, so I do believe if we spent a lot of our resources like they say we did. I think we did.” He then added, “I don’t think the footage is real, but I think we did go to the moon. I don’t know about the footage. It’s quite wild.” The moon landing appears to be a common topic on Miller’s show. Months earlier, rapper Nicki Minaj told her she didn’t believe humans landed on the moon at all.The post Bryson DeChambeau Casts Doubt on Famous Video of Astronaut Playing Golf on Moon: ‘I Don’t Think the Footage is Real’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Fat A**’: Graham Platner Said Video of American Purple Heart Recipient Get...
X/@PodSaveAmerica Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine, once remarked that a video of an American soldier being shot “never gets old” in a post on Reddit, castigating the Purple Heart recipient as a “dumb motherf*cker” and “fat a**.” Reacting to the clip of Pfc. Ted Daniels engaging in a firefight with the Taliban back in 2012, Platner wrote, in a 2019 comment resurfaced by Fox News Digital, “This video never gets old. Dumb mother f*cker. At least his stupidity and fat a** wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.” In an interview about the video that so delighted Platner — in which Daniels can be heard shouting, “Help me,” and “I’m hit” — the veteran said that his squad “was pinned down by machine gun fire” and he “came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety.” “I don’t know if I held it together, but I tried to,” Daniels told The Washington Post. “I put my ass on the line for other guys. I still functioned even though I was scared to death.” He also revealed that “the first time he watched the video. His hands shook. For the next several days, he couldn’t sleep, and he struggled to eat.” Platner’s campaign did not respond to a Fox News’ request for comment. In other since-deleted Reddit posts, Platner urged “women concerned about sexual assault to “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f*cked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?” and revealed that he feels compelled to “jerk off every time I sit in a portash*tter.” He defended porta potty crack as “sh*tposting.” “You should read the comments in context. It’s very clear I’m joking,” Platner told Fox. Platner is set to take on Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), a moderate seeking a sixth term in office, in this November’s general election.The post ‘Fat A**’: Graham Platner Said Video of American Purple Heart Recipient Getting Shot ‘Never Gets Old’ first appeared on Mediaite.
