Kim Kardashian says goodbye to her deceased aunt Karen Houghton.

Kardashian, 43, shared a series of throwback photos of Houghton via Instagram on Thursday, March 21. “🕊I love you so much Aunt Karen🕊,” the reality star captioned her post.

One photo showed a young Kim and an older sister Kourtney Kardashian sitting with Houghton, while in another photo Kim posed with her aunt in front of a Christmas tree. One photo showed Houghton with her mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannonand Kim’s parents, Kris Jenner And Robert Kardashian.

Houghton, Jenner’s younger sister, died on Monday, March 18 at the age of 65. A cause of death has not been announced.

“It is with the deepest heart and deepest sadness that I share that my sister Karen passed away unexpectedly yesterday,” Jenner, 68, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, March 19. “My heart aches for my mother MJ and my niece Natalie and I pray that God guides us all through this difficult time.”

Jenner went on to call her sibling “beautiful inside and out” and the “sweetest, kindest, most sensitive and vulnerable and so funny” person.

“She always felt grateful and grateful for her life and cherished her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter,” the reality mogul continued. “Karen’s passing reminds us that life is so short and precious, and that tomorrow is never promised. We must tell those we cherish how much we love them. I love you, my beautiful sister.”

Houghton’s daughter, Natalie Zettelshared an Instagram tribute to her mother a day later.

“Dear mom, I can’t believe it [you’re] gone,” Zettel wrote on Wednesday, March 20. “This doesn’t even feel real. I keep hoping that I can hug you or kiss you, or hear your voice one last time. You were my best friend, my everything. The best mother a daughter could ever ask for, and I am so grateful to have had a mother like you.”

Zettel’s post was accompanied by a series of throwback photos of Houghton, including one of her cradling her daughter just minutes after she was born.

“You were the most kind, sweet, loving, giving and caring soul,” Zettel continued. ‘You had the biggest heart. And I don’t know how to go on without you. It all happened so quickly and I wasn’t ready for you to go.

Karen and Jenner are the only children of Shannon, 89, and her husband, Robert ‘Bob’ Houghton. Bob died in 1975.

Toby Keiths the memory will live on in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

On Monday March 18, Sara Trahernthe CEO of the Country Music Association, announced that Keith, Johannes Anderson And James Burton would be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. During her announcement, Trahern noted that she received the voting results a day after Keith died on February 5 after a battle with stomach cancer.

“My heart sank knowing that we had missed the opportunity to inform Toby while he was still with us. But I have no doubt he’s smiling down on us, knowing he’ll be ‘as good as he ever was,’” Trahern said Monday, referencing Keith’s 2005 hit single, “As Good As I Once Was.”

Keith’s family announced on February 6 that the musician had passed away after a battle with stomach cancer.

Toby Keith established himself as one of country music’s most legendary stars before his death in 2024. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Keith started playing in local bars as a member of the Easy Money Band. Later, Keith took his talents to Nashville, signing his first recording contract and releasing his debut single “Should’ve” […]

“Toby Keith passed away peacefully last night, February 5, surrounded by his family. He fought his battle with grace and courage,” said a statement shared on social media. “Please respect his family’s privacy at this time.”

Several stars paid tribute to the late artist, including a former NFL player Brett Favre which alluded to his last conversation with Keith.

“I think in the end he was just tired. He also said that to me during our conversation. He said, ‘Brett, whatever happens, I’m fine with it,'” Favre recalled their last conversation with TMZ Sports on February 7, adding that he kept in touch with Keith every “about three” months while the singer battled cancer.

Favre further explained that shortly before his death, Keith complained about the effects of chemotherapy.

“He said, ‘I stopped chemotherapy and it probably did more damage to me than the cancer,’” Favre told the outlet. “And he said, ‘I just hope I didn’t quit too late, but… I’m grateful I got the chance to play some shows. I finished them.’ [Toby] handled it with grace, faith and family. And stood up to the cancer as best he could. He was an entertainer. He was the best.”

Keith’s old rep Elaine Schock also spoke about the musician after his death, noting that Keith was often “misunderstood.”

“I loved Toby Keith,” Schock wrote in a statement on February 6. “He was brilliant, fun to be with and we had some robust discussions. Moreover, he could write and sing very well. Toby was nice. I think he was misunderstood because he was painted a certain way, but that was an incorrect portrait. He was so much more. He was certainly one of the bravest men I knew.”

After announcing his stomach cancer diagnosis in the fall of 2021, Keith explained in June 2022 that he was taking a break from performing and making new music.

“I need time to breathe, recover and relax,” he wrote online in June 2022. “I’m looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I’ll see the fans sooner rather than later. I can not wait.”

Keith is survived by his wife Tricia Lucuswhom he married in 1984, their three children and four grandchildren.

Just about every state in America has cracked down on fentanyl distribution, increasing arrests and prison sentences. But few places are as aggressive as Riverside County, California, in prosecuting people who supply deadly strains of fentanyl.

Since late 2021, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin has charged 34 suspected fentanyl suppliers with murder and is believed to be the first prosecutor in California to secure a guilty verdict from a jury in a fentanyl-related murder case.

“People are being devastated by this drug,” said Mr. Hestrin, who was a district attorney in Riverside County, a vast area east of Los Angeles, for nine years.

Riverside County has a reputation for aggressively prosecuting crimes (a “prosecutor’s paradise,” one local attorney calls it). And like Riverside, some other counties — such as San Diego and Placer, near Sacramento — that have also filed murder charges against fentanyl suppliers have significant numbers of conservative-leaning voters who prefer more punitive approaches to crime.

But even in liberal bastion San Francisco, the district attorney’s office has been preparing to investigate fentanyl deaths as possible homicides, which would mark a sea change in the city’s approach to drug-related crimes.

The prosecution of street dealers is seen by some critics as a misguided return to the aggressive approach of the 1990s, which failed to curb drug use and expanded the number of state prisons to house low-level distributors and people addicted to drugs.

“Using the same strategy we used in the 1990s and suggesting it will be appropriate and effective in 2024 is not the argument of any thinking person,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, founder of Prosecutors Alliance, which advocates a progressive approach to criminal justice. criminal justice in California.

Moreover, such prosecutions in California rest on unclear legal ground, experts say, because prosecutors have worked around the fact that California has no law specifically allowing fentanyl deaths to be charged as murder.

But even amid this legal uncertainty, such prosecutions are gaining momentum across California, reflecting the public’s fears about fentanyl, one of the leading causes of death in the United States.

Federal prosecutors can charge someone with distributing fentanyl causing death, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison. But federal authorities don’t have the ability to pursue every street dealer, leaving state and local officials to come up with their own responses to what has become a nationwide public health crisis.

Many of the fentanyl cases prosecuted in California involved people who thought they were purchasing painkillers such as Oxycodone or Percocet, but ended up receiving pills containing fentanyl. Illegal drugs such as cocaine are also mixed with fentanyl, which is cheap to produce and highly addictive.

Prosecutors say if they can prove a suspected dealer knew the drugs contained fentanyl and could be deadly, they could charge the person with murder.

But unlike many other states, California does not have a law classifying fentanyl deaths as homicide. So in filing murder charges, prosecutors got creative and borrowed a legal theory used to prosecute drunk drivers.

It’s called the Watson Murder Rule, named after a California drunk driving case dating back more than forty years in which courts ruled that if a person knowingly ignores the dangers of drunk driving and kills someone, it can be a crime to murder.

In Riverside County, people who prosecutors say knew the drugs they sold or dispensed were deadly and supplied them anyway have been charged under the same theory of second-degree murder.

Prosecutors are looking at text messages and other communications to show that the person who supplied the fentanyl was aware of the risks. But this evidence can be difficult to find because the person does not always express that knowledge in writing.

Defense attorneys say this definition of murder is overbroad and unconstitutional because the California Legislature has not created a law classifying fentanyl deaths as murder.

“Is it murder if you sell someone a pack of cigarettes, because you know that cigarettes can kill?” said Michael Duncan, a Riverside County attorney representing a man sentenced in November to 15 years to life in prison for supplying fentanyl to a 26-year-old woman, Kelsey King.

A jury found Mr. Duncan’s client, Vicente David Romero, guilty of first-degree murder. Prosecutors said this was the first time a jury in California convicted someone of a fentanyl-related murder charge.

Prosecutors said Mr. Romero split a pill he knew contained fentanyl with Ms. King. Mr Duncan said his client had sought help for Ms King, which was not behavior consistent with murder.

Mr. Romero’s conviction is being appealed.

“The power to define the crime of murder belongs to the legislature,” Mr. Duncan said. “Not in court and not in Mr. Hestrin’s office.”

Of the 34 cases in which murder charges have been filed in connection with fentanyl deaths in Riverside County, Mr. Romero’s is the only one that has resulted in a murder conviction by a jury. In another case, a jury found the suspect guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Six other cases have resulted in plea agreements reducing the charge to voluntary manslaughter. There are still 24 cases pending.

In San Francisco, fentanyl is a volatile issue in a city that has historically taken a progressive approach to illegal drugs, emphasizing treatment and rehabilitation over prison.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, who was appointed in 2022 after her progressive predecessor Chesa Boudin was recalled by voters frustrated by crime in San Francisco, is taking a tougher line against dealers.

In an interview, she said not every overdose death — there were about 800 last year — could be investigated as a potential homicide because of limited resources and lack of evidence.

But Ms. Jenkins said filing murder charges, even in a few cases, would send the message that “we will not let you get away with killing our most vulnerable.”

Ms. Jenkins said a task force of prosecutors and police officers is being trained in building a murder case and that she did not expect them to be ready to file charges until this summer.

In San Diego County, District Attorney Summer Stephan said she had filed homicide charges sparingly — against a total of four people since 2017 — compared to lesser charges in the roughly 500 fentanyl sales cases her office handled last year.

Even if the dealer is not charged, Ms. Stephan said, she wants to be able to provide the families of the deceased with as much information as possible.

“These families feel like their souls have been ripped from their chests,” she said. “They want to know what happened.”

Parents whose children died from fentanyl are a driving force behind new laws and intensified prosecutions, just as the parents of drunk driving victims decades ago pushed the nation to crack down on alcohol-related traffic deaths.

Mr. Hestrin, the Riverside County prosecutor, said his decision to pursue a murder charge was prompted by his conversations with a local parent, Matt Capelouto, whose 20-year-old daughter, Alexandra, died in December 2019 from fentanyl. In college, she took half a pill that she thought was Oxycodone. But it was a counterfeit pill containing a lethal dose of fentanyl.

Mr. Capelouto, who owns a printing company in the Riverside County city of Temecula, said he was initially told by investigators that his daughter’s death appeared to be an accidental overdose and that no foul play was suspected.

Mr. Capelouto requested a meeting with Mr. Hestrin.

“He asked me, ‘Why isn’t my daughter’s death murder?'” Mr. Hestrin recalled. “And my answer was, ‘I don’t have a good answer.’”

Mr. Capelouto is now president of an advocacy group, DrugInducedHomicide.org, that pushes states to crack down on street-level drug trafficking.

Mr. Hestrin’s investigators could not find enough evidence to show that the person who sold Ms. Capelouto the pills knew they contained fentanyl and that the pills were fatal — elements necessary to prove second-degree murder.

The dealer was eventually charged in federal court, where penalties for selling fentanyl are harsh. In 2023, he pleaded guilty to possession of fentanyl with intent to deliver and was sentenced to nine years in prison. As part of the plea deal, he admitted knowing the pills contained fentanyl or an “other federally controlled substance.”

“We cannot get ahead of this situation until we can hold drug dealers accountable,” Mr. Capelouto said.

Kelly Rizzo has a message for critics who think she moved on too quickly after her husband’s death: Bob Saget.

“I’ll start by saying, unless you’re a widow or widower, you have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you don’t know what it’s like,” Rizzo said in a video posted via TikTok on Sunday March 10. “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex, difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that arise throughout this process.”

In the four-minute, 34-second video, Rizzo explained that after you lose your partner, when it finally “occurs to you to even think about dating again, just having those thoughts makes you you feel guilty, you feel ashamed, you feel terrible, but yet you also feel lonely, so you want to do it.

Rizzo said she received “support and love” from Saget’s friends and family (namely his three daughters, Aubrey Saget, Lara Melanie Saget And Jennifer Belle Saget) about her decision to start dating again.

She went on to say that even with that support network, you “still feel really weird when you” jump back into the dating pool. “But you still have to feel good about it and have peace in your heart with it,” she said. “Personally, I didn’t get to that point until well over a year after Bob passed away, to even think about it.”

In October 2023, Rizzo spoke openly with Additional about her “survivor guilt” after Saget’s death. However, she admitted that she had reached a point where she was “open” to dating again.

“You feel guilty when you have happy moments or when you don’t feel sad all the time,” Rizzo said at the time. “You feel guilty about that, but then I learned that that is completely normal. Now that enough time has passed, even his girls always say, “That’s stupid. Heavenly Bob wants you to be happy. ”

Rizzo launched her new relationship hard with Ignorant actor Breckin Meyer at the 2024 Grammy Awards in February, two years after Saget’s death. According to Rizzo, Meyer has been nothing but supportive as she continues to grieve her late husband.

“I’m very fortunate that I was able to find someone who has the space for that and appreciates it and gets it, and who is strong enough and confident enough to know that Bob will always be a part of my life,” she said.

Saget and Rizzo married in 2018 after three years of dating. The Full house alum passed away on January 9, 2022 at the age of 65 after being found unconscious in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida. A month later, authorities determined that Saget had died from blunt force trauma to the head.

“They concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. There were no drugs or alcohol involved,” Saget’s family said We weekly in a February 2022 statement.

His sister Maddie Brown shared a thoughtful tribute via Instagram on Sunday, March 10, she posted a photo of Garrison with her children. “My words seem to fall short,” she wrote. “Our hearts are broken and we are now consumed by the love we now leave behind for this beautiful brother. God be with you until we meet again. I see you at the gates of Valhalla, celebrating with our ancestors who fought before you. Until then, we must live in a grayer world without the light you brought.”

Maddie, 28, added a quote to her caption: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but can’t. All the unspent love gathers in the corner of your eyes, the lump in your throat and in that sacred part of your chest. Sadness is just love where you can’t go.”

Gwendlyn Brown, one of Garrison’s half-siblings, reposted Maddie’s tribute via her Instagram Story. “Uncle Bob in his natural element ❤,” she wrote, referring to Garrison by his first name. (He was born Robert Garrison.)

President Biden on Saturday rebuked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel over the rising number of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, even as he reaffirmed US support for a longtime ally.

“He has the right to defend Israel, the right to continue to pursue Hamas, but he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives that are being lost as a result of the actions that are being taken,” Mr. Biden said of Mr Netanyahu in one interview with MSNBC.

“In my opinion, he is hurting Israel more than he is helping Israel,” Mr. Biden said, appearing to refer to Mr. Netanyahu’s military strategy. “It goes against what Israel stands for, and I think it’s a big mistake. That is why I want to see a ceasefire.”

When asked by the interviewer, Jonathan Capehart, whether he had a “red line” that Mr. Netanyahu should not cross, such as a ground invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, Mr. Biden gave a muddled answer but said that “the defense of Israel still critical.”

“He cannot allow another 30,000 Palestinians to be killed as a result” of his pursuit of Hamas, the president said, referring to Mr. Netanyahu.

“There are other ways to deal with the trauma caused by Hamas, to achieve it,” he added.

Mr. Biden provided no details. The Gaza Health Ministry has said more than 31,000 people have been killed in the enclave since Israel started the war in response to Hamas attacks on October 7.

But the president’s comments once again underscored the delicate position the United States finds itself in: arming Israel while providing humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Mr Biden has been more forceful in recent days about the plight of civilians in Gaza, urging Mr Netanyahu not to go ahead with his stated plans to launch a major ground offensive in Rafah without a plan to protect the civilians to protect those who shelter there. More than a million Gazans have sought refuge in the city, many of whom have been displaced by orders from the Israeli army to move to so-called safe zones.

In recent days, United Nations officials have warned that the enclave is on the brink of famine. At least 25 people have died there from malnutrition and dehydration, says Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, said in a statement on Saturday.

Under Mr. Biden, U.S. military cargo planes have dropped food, water and other aid into Gaza a handful of times in recent days. Mr. Biden is expanding those efforts with a plan to build a floating pier off the coast of Gaza to deliver more supplies to the enclave.

But U.S. officials have acknowledged that cutting off air aid and building a pier will not be as effective as delivering supplies by land, an option that Israel has largely blocked.

In the MSNBC interview, Mr. Biden said he remained hopeful that the United States could help broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as the holy month of Ramadan approaches this week.

“I think it’s always possible,” Mr. Biden said.
