<p>Couples looking to get married in Las Vegas for free, need not look any further</p>

<p>Alison Brie and Dave Franco announced the most recent Together giveaway courtesy of NEON for the couple who wins the best movie theater proposal</p>

<p>"The crazier the better," Franco hinted in the announcement video</p>

<p>Alison Brie and Dave Franco have just the proposal idea for couples looking to get engaged.</p>

<p>The couple and Together costars announced NEON's contest to win a free wedding via social media on Thursday, July 17. The couple with the best and most creative wedding proposal at a Together viewing can win a free wedding in Las Vegas.</p>

<p>"We are so excited for you to see our new horror movie Together, that we've created a little something special for all the couples out there who want to be together forever," Brie, 42, began the announcement, ending with a playful, creepy tone.</p>

<p>"With NEON, we've created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to say 'I do,'" Franco, 40, continued.</p>

<p>The terms of the contest include filming a proposal at a theater "ideally" showing Together, posting it on social media with the #TogetherContest and tagging @together.movie, before Aug. 3.</p>

<p>"We will review your videos, and one lucky couple will get a wedding in Vegas courtesy of the Together team," the Neighbors actor said.</p>

<p>While Brie stated "how crazy romantic" the proposal would be, Franco encouraged "the crazier the better," while holding up prayer hands.</p>

<p>"Yes, we can't wait to see you at the movies with all your outrageous proposals," Brie said in the video.</p>

<p>All participants must live in the U.S. and be 18 years or older, according to the guidelines. Couples interested in participating can view the rules on NEON's website.</p>

<p>This isn't the first contest the independent film production company has announced for the upcoming release of the horror film. This week, Brie and Franco announced another giveaway providing tickets to the LA premier on July 23.</p>

<p>The couple who tied the knot in 2017, posted a steamy pic of them sharing an intimate kiss while imitating the Together billboard on Melrose Ave & North Detroit St.</p>

<p>The post encouraged fans to win tickets to the premier by recreating the Together billboard with their significant other using the #TogetherForever and tagging @neonrated.</p>

<p>"The perfect couple in 'the perfect date night horror movie.' TOGETHER. Join us 7.30," the Instagram caption read.</p>

<p>"Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other," a synopsis for the movie reads. "With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh."</p>

<p>Dave Franco and Alison Brie in Together</p>

<p>The couple spoke with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly's Shutterstock Official Sundance Film Festival Portrait Studio where they discussed the after effects of the film on their relationship.</p>

<p>"I think we're more codependent than ever," Franco admitted.</p>

<p>"Yeah," agreed Brie with a laugh. "The film is about a codependent couple who's sort of in a bit of a rut. They're feeling dangerously codependent, having issues with that. And I think we went into it being like, 'Our relationship is much healthier and everything's good.' And then we came out on the other side a little more codependent."</p>

<p>Together hits theaters July 30.</p>

  • "The Office" alums Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer have surprise reunion: 'One of my favorite people on the planet'</p>

<p>RAINN WILSON/Instagram</p>

<p>Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson on Instagram</p>

<p>Even when they're not selling paper together, Dwight and Pam's friendship is still going strong.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, The Office alums Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer delighted fans with news that they recently reunited for lunch and a quickie recording for Fischer's Office rewatch podcast Office Ladies.</p>

<p>"Had lunch with one of my favorite people on the planet. Then we recorded audio in the back [of] her car for those gosh darn Office Ladies," Wilson wrote on Instagram, sharing two selfies of the duo outside and in the back of Fischer's car. "This amazing, gorgeous woman I first met at our Office audition call back [sic] in late 2003! Can you believe it!? Dwight and Pam forever!"</p>

<p>Fischer chimed in too, commenting, "This made my heart so happy!!"</p>

<p>Over on her Instagram Stories, the actress reshared the post with a callback to a sweet moment between their characters writing, "Dwight is kind of my friend."</p>

<p>Her Office Ladies cohost and fellow Dunder Mifflin survivor Angela Kinsey commented, "This makes my heart happy! Love you guys!"</p>

<p>The Office aired for nine seasons between 2005 and 2013. Six years after the finale, Fischer and Kinsey launched Office Ladies, on which the pair go through the sitcom episode by episode, breaking down plot lines and sharing behind-the-scenes stories while reminiscing with fellow Dunder Mifflin alums.</p>

<p>The very first episode of the podcast saw Fischer recount first crossing paths with Wilson at a live test audition — where he made an awkward impression.</p>

<p>"For all the leads of the show, they brought us in to screen test and they mixed and matched us. There were four Pams and four Dwights and four Jims and four Michaels. And we spent a whole day being mixed and matched with each other," she explained. " And I remember meeting Rainn Wilson and he was in character, but I couldn't really know that because I didn't know Rainn yet. And I thought he was the weirdest person I ever met in my life."</p>

<p>Fischer shared that not only was Wilson rocking Dwight's signature haircut, but at one point, they shared an odd interaction when his wife joined him for lunch.</p>

<p>"Rainn introduces me to his wife — she was pregnant at the time with their son — and he says, 'This is my wife, Holly, bearer of my seed.' And I was like, 'What?!' And she started laughing. But that was just Rainn being Rainn."</p>

<p>Kinsey added, "That is Rainn. But wouldn't Dwight say that?"</p>

<p>Fischer agreed, "He would also say that."</p>

Teddi Mellencamp Explains How Parenting Has Changed for Her Since Going Through Cancer Treatment

<p>Teddi Mellencamp</p>

<p>Teddi Mellencamp is explaining how her approach to parenting has changed since going through treatment for cancer</p>

<p>Mellencamp has been undergoing treatment for melanoma</p>

<p>The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum shares her three kids with ex Edwin Arroyave</p>

<p>Teddi Mellencamp is sharing how she's approaching parenting as she goes through treatment for cancer.</p>

<p>In a candid interview published Thursday, July 17, with Glamour, the Real House Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 44, spoke about how her relationship with her kids — Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5, whom she shares with ex Edwin Arroyave — has shifted since as she's gone through treatment for skin cancer.</p>

<p>"Some days are extremely difficult, because I can still remember what I used to be like before, and I want to still be all of those things to my kids. And I can't," Mellencamp candidly shared. "I am so lucky that I have such smart, loving, resilient children who have been there for me through all of this."</p>

<p>Teddi Mellencamp</p>

<p>"There are some days where I'm at every single activity and feel like the old me. But there are others where I cry and get upset," she continued. "I feel hurt and so sad that I have to write on a piece of paper what my kids' days are going to entail, and none of it involves me because I can't do it."</p>

<p>"Some days, I can't even write on the paper. Parenting has been a lot of communication with my kids, my friends, and my family, saying, 'This is what I need.'"</p>

<p>Mellencamp went on to say that although it seems trivial, the old version of her thought that spending time with her kids watching television show wasn't necessarily "quality time."</p>

<p>"Now, I have such a different view on things," she explained. "We pick a favorite show and watch it together, and we laugh and get obsessed. It doesn't have to be running around all the time. It can be us just in the moment."</p>

<p>Kanya Iwana for Glamour</p>

<p>Teddi Mellencamp</p>

<p>Earlier this month, Mellencamp's ex-husband Arroyave shared a photo of their family on Instagram in honor of Mellencamp's birthday, praising her for her strength as she goes through her ongoing cancer journey.</p>

<p>"Your resilience, tenacity, and strength have taught our children what a true warrior is," Arroyave wrote in his caption. "May God bless you with your best year ever."</p>

<p>Mellencamp has been open about her cancer journey, which began with multiple surgeries to remove melanomas on her back. Then, this past February, she shared that her melanoma had spread to her lungs and brain. But she's responding to treatment, as she said in an April Instagram post: "All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared."</p>

Ex-officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor could face a one-day prison sentence: DOJ

<p>-

  • Ex-officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor could face a one-day prison sentence: DOJ</p>

<p>N'dea Yancey-Bragg and Rachel Smith, USA TODAY NETWORK July 17, 2025 at 4:23 PM</p>

<p>The Justice Department recommended a one-day prison sentence for a former Louisville, Kentucky, police officer found guilty of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights during a fatal March 2020 police raid.</p>

<p>Taylor, 26, was inside her apartment when she was fatally shot by plainclothes officers around 12:40 a.m. on March 13, 2020, during a botched narcotics investigation.</p>

<p>Brett Hankison fired 10 rounds into Taylor's apartment through a covered glass door and window, three of which traveled into an adjacent apartment with a man, pregnant woman and 5-year-old inside. None of the rounds fired by Hankison hit Taylor or any of the neighbors.</p>

<p>Hankison, who is scheduled to be sentenced on July 21, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.</p>

<p>A pre-sentence report prepared by the United States Probation Office recommended a sentence between 11.25 and 14 years, according to court documents. The Justice Department memo said that range was incorrectly calculated and "excessive," recommending that the court "grant a significant downward departure."</p>

<p>The DOJ requested Hankison instead be sentenced to one day's imprisonment, which would be considered already served because the "defendant gets credit for the day he was booked and made his initial appearance," followed by three years of supervised release.</p>

<p>What the Justice Department memo says</p>

<p>The Justice Department said in a sentencing memorandum filed July 16 that is it "unaware of another prosecution in which a police officer has been charged with depriving the rights of another person under the Fourth Amendment for returning fire and not injuring anyone."</p>

<p>"The government respects the jury's verdict, which will almost certainly ensure that Hankison never serves as a law enforcement officer again and will also likely ensure that he never legally possesses a firearm again," the memorandum said. "But adding on top of those consequences a sentence within the lengthy guidelines range — even when properly calculated — would, in the government's view, simply be unjust under these circumstances."</p>

<p>The memorandum also says that former President Joe Biden's administration should not have prosecuted Hankison on civil rights charges at all.</p>

<p>"Indeed, reasonable minds might disagree as to whether Hanksion's conduct constituted a seizure under the Fourth Amendment in the first place," the memorandum states. "... And reasonable minds certainly might disagree whether, even if Hankison's conduct did constitute a seizure, a prosecution under this statute should have been brought under these circumstances at all."</p>

<p>The sentencing memorandum was signed by Robert J. Keenum, senior counsel for the DOJ's civil rights division, and Harmeet Dhillon, an assistant attorney general for the department. Keenan was not part of the original prosecution team. Dhillon was appointed by the current President Donald Trump's administration.</p>

<p>Charges follow botched raid</p>

<p>As police entered the apartment, Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot an officer in the leg. Walker later said he believed the officers were intruders.</p>

<p>Hankison was federally charged with violating the civil rights of Taylor and the three nearby neighbors. His first trial on those charges ended in a mistrial in 2023. In November, a second federal jury convicted Hankison of violating Taylor's civil rights but acquitted him on the separate count of violating the rights of the neighbors.</p>

<p>He is the only officer who fired into the apartment to be charged and convicted of any crime, though a probe into the warrant that authorized the raid continues.</p>

<p>The U.S. attorney's office for the Western District of Kentucky did not immediately return a request for comment, along with a representative for Taylor's family.</p>

<p>(This story has been to add new information.)</p>

U.S. hit with record number of flash flood warnings

<p>-

  • U.S. hit with record number of flash flood warnings</p>

<p>Denise ChowJuly 17, 2025 at 9:10 PM</p>

<p>More than 3,000 flash flood warnings have been issued in the United States so far this year — the highest number on record, according to data from Iowa State University.</p>

<p>A total of 3,040 warnings from the National Weather Service went out from Jan. 1 through July 15, according to figures compiled by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, which collects and tracks data on precipitation, soil temperature and other environmental conditions. That's more than any other year during that same time period since 1986, when the modern alert system was adopted.</p>

<p>The new record portends a wetter and rainier future that experts say is likely because of climate change. Studies have shown that severe storms and extreme rainfall are both expected to occur more frequently in a warming world.</p>

<p>A flash flood warning is issued by the National Weather Service when sudden and dangerous flooding is imminent or occurring.</p>

<p>This summer, in particular, has been characterized by intense rainfall and floods. States such as Texas, New Mexico, North Carolina, Illinois, New York and New Jersey are among those that experienced major flooding events in recent weeks. Earlier this month, the country was hit by at least four 1-in-1,000-year rainfall events in less than a week.</p>

<p>In June, flash floods killed at least nine people in West Virginia after around 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell over parts of Ohio County in only 30 minutes.</p>

<p>At least 120 people were killed in central Texas' Hill Country region in early July after heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River, near Kerrville, to surge more than 20 feet in 90 minutes.</p>

<p>Days later, at least three people were killed by devastating flash floods in the remote village of Ruidoso in New Mexico.</p>

<p>And earlier this week, more than 2 inches of rain fell in a single hour over Central Park in New York City, marking the second-highest one-hour rainfall total recorded in the Big Apple, according to New York City Emergency Management.</p>

<p>The flurry of recent flash floods owes in part to the fact that the summer months tend to be some of the stormiest of the year, said Russ Schumacher, director of the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University and the state climatologist.</p>

<p>"June through October is when you can get really heavy rainfall in parts of the country," he said, adding that the Atlantic hurricane season also runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, which can dump rain along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.</p>

<p>But studies have shown that climate change is expected to make storms more frequent and intense, which increases the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding.</p>

<p>"A warmer atmosphere has more water vapor in it that can then be rained out," Schumacher said. "The evidence for that is quite strong."</p>

<p>Still, part of the reason why there are more warnings issued than ever before is because scientists are able to detect and track weather systems in greater detail now.</p>

<p>Radar systems and weather models have significantly improved over the course of 40 years, which contributes to the number of warnings issued during extreme weather events, said Amir AghaKouchak, director of the Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing at the University of California, Irvine.</p>

<p>"The system that was implemented back in the '80s is not the same as the system that we have now," he said. "We have many, many more radars, and we have many different sources of data. So naturally you expect more warnings just because our systems are getting better and better."</p>

<p>These warnings are essential for saving lives, but they are also crucial to protect infrastructure such as dams, levees or drainage systems that are vulnerable during flooding events, AghaKouchak said.</p>

<p>"It's all a reminder that these events can be major catastrophes," he said. "The Texas flood was a huge disaster, and so we always have to be prepared."</p>

Before Connie Francis died, a new generation fell for 'Pretty Little Baby'

  • Before Connie Francis died, a new generation fell for 'Pretty Little Baby'</p>

<p>Melina Khan, USA TODAY July 17, 2025 at 7:03 PM</p>

<p>Connie Francis, the pop vocalist who died this week, was seeing a resurgence in popularity long after her '50s and '60s fame — thanks to TikTok.</p>

<p>Francis died Wednesday, July 16 at 87 after recently being hospitalized in an intensive care unit, where she was undergoing tests to find the source of her "extreme pain," according to her Facebook.</p>

<p>She was best known for her love songs, including "Stupid Cupid," "Who's Sorry Now" and "Where The Boys Are."</p>

<p>But younger generations may recognize her peppy voice from 1962 track "Pretty Little Baby," which has become popular among TikTokers as a backdrop for adorable animals, makeup tutorials and a slew of other videos.</p>

<p>Here's what to know about the song and its modern-day resurgence.</p>

<p>Connie Francis 'Pretty Little Baby' and 'Who's Sorry Now' pop singer dies at 87</p>

<p>'Pretty Little Baby' has been used over a million times on TikTok</p>

<p>"Pretty Little Baby" gained momentum on TikTok in May, with celebrities and influencer alike sharing videos to the song. North West and Kylie Jenner lip synced to the song and creators like Abbie Herbert and Brooke Monk also used the audio.</p>

<p>To date, the song has been used on more than one million TikTok videos. At its peak, "Pretty Little Baby" averaged over 600,000 daily creates on TikTok and hit No. 1 on both the app's Viral 50 and Top 50 charts, according to a press release.</p>

<p>"The huge viral success of 'Pretty Little Baby' is the perfect example of the power of music discovery on TikTok," Tracy Gardner, TikTok's global head of music business development, said in the release.</p>

<p>Singer Connie Francis poses while seated at London Airport, May 2nd 1962.</p>

<p>The song's popularity even got Francis herself to join TikTok in June.</p>

<p>"I'm flabbergasted and excited about the huge buzz my 1962 recording of 'Pretty Little Baby' is making all over the world," she said in a video on the page. "To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is captivating new generations of audiences is truly overwhelming for me."</p>

<p>'She died happy knowing that this generation likes her music'</p>

<p>On Francis' TikTok page, comments were flooded with messages of condolences after her death, with many users expressing appreciation for the resurgence of "Pretty Little Baby."</p>

<p>"She died happy knowing that this generation likes her music," one person wrote. "You will be missed. Thank you for the music."</p>

<p>Another wrote, "RIP Connie Francis. She died knowing her song became famous again."</p>

<p>When was 'Pretty Little Baby' released?</p>

<p>"Pretty Little Baby" was released in 1962 as part of Connie Francis' album "Connie Francis Sings Second Hand Love & Other Hits." The song was not released as a single.</p>

<p>Francis told Billboard in May that she didn't remember recording the song until she listened to it.</p>

<p>"It's just a blessing to know that kindergarten kids know me and my music now. It's really thrilling," she told the outlet.</p>

<p>The track was one of 40 songs Francis recorded over four days in August 1961, according to Billboard.</p>
