“It’s kinda tough right now. Mike is in hospice right now,” Windham told Apter without disclosing any specific details.
“He was just a good boy. He was such a good person, never got in trouble at all his whole life. He’s a good boy.”
WWE legend Leilani Kai also revealed that Rotunda was in hospice care in a post on X.

As IRS, he would bother fellow competitors demanding that they paid their “fair share.” He also teamed up with Ted DiBiase to form the Money Inc. tag team. They won the tag team titles three times.
Rotunda is the real-life father of the late pro wrestler known as Bray Wyatt and his brother who wrestles as Bo Dallas. Bray Wyatt died in 2023.
Former Biden spokesperson’s ‘incoherent’ interview confuses journalists, commentators
Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was mocked online after sitting down for an interview with The New Yorker about her new book, which critics described as “incoherent,” “entertaining” and “career-ending.”
Her book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” attacked the Democratic Party for its treatment of former President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race after weeks of pressure from members of his own party, following a disastrous debate performance.
Political commentators and journalists posted screenshots of the interview with the New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner, pointing to different parts of the conversation with Jean-Pierre.
Journalist Josh Barro highlighted a portion of the interview where Jean-Pierre insisted the “broken White House” she refers to in the title is President Donald Trump‘s White House.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE INSISTS TO SKEPTICAL CBS ANCHORS THAT BIDEN WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY, ALWAYS SEEMED SHARP
“You’re telling me about the feelings of Joe Biden, blah, blah, blah, but Joe Biden is out of the picture. He’s out of the picture,” Jean-Pierre told the interviewer, who said, “Yeah, he sure is.”
Chotiner pushed back, “This is what you wrote your book about. I am not bringing it up randomly.”
Jean-Pierre argued in the interview that the book was about the moment the country is in and said, “So what are the Democratic leadership actually doing to beat back and fight back? What are they doing?”
“Good Lord. Read this entire interview. It’s hard to even begin to describe Karine Jean-Pierre’s answers. They are largely incoherent,” New York Times columnist David French wrote.
French added that the former press secretary was obsessed with loyalty and respect.
Semafor’s David Weigel wrote, “Turns out you can do a career-ending interview even after your career is over.”
“Ruthless” podcast co-host Michael Duncan posted, “This is one of the most hilarious interviews I’ve ever read.”
The Atlantic’s Jonathan Chait asked, “How was KJP hired for her job in the first place?”
The National Review’s James Lynch pointed to a portion of the interview and wrote, “total gibberish.”
Chotiner pressed Jean-Pierre on her writing that she didn’t think former Vice President Kamala Harris could win, while also taking issue with people who “didn’t seem to think Harris could win by saying they were insulting her.”
“I wish you could walk in my body and live my life, and then I think you could understand what I’m saying. I really do, because I think any other Black woman would understand what I’m saying. What it truly is is that it wasn’t just an open primary or a brokered convention. There was disrespect to her as well. It was discounting her and her position and who she was. That’s what it felt like,” Jean-Pierre wrote.
“This is a very unique thing that I don’t think anyone would understand unless you walked in our bodies and lived our lives. My feeling was not about her not being qualified. It was about people not being able to see past her being Black and a woman. It’s not that confusing for us because we live this life day in and day out,” the passage continued.

Jean-Pierre was also asked multiple times by Chotiner if she felt Biden could have served through January 2029.
“It’s not my place to say,” she said, as Chotiner asked what she meant by that.
“No, no, no. Wait, I’m answering the question. I did not see anything that would cause me concern. That is my answer,” Jean-Pierre added.
The former press secretary was asked about the debate and everything else people saw.

“What I’m saying to you is the debate for me was one time. I had never seen him like that before,” she said.

Anti-aging supplement could slow disease and keep you younger, with some cautions
A small molecule has been hailed as potentially promoting longevity and combating certain diseases — but experts are also calling for more research.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) — often nicknamed the “fountain of youth” — is a coenzyme that is essential for cellular survival, which naturally declines with age. In recent years, supplements designed to boost NAD+ levels have grown in popularity.
Last month, researchers led by the University of Oslo reviewed preclinical and clinical studies investigating the link between NAD+ and aging.
NEW VITAMIN COMPOUND SHOWS PROMISE FOR REVERSING ALZHEIMER’S DAMAGE TO THE BRAIN
The review, which was published in the journal Nature Aging, concluded that restoring NAD+ levels could help to promote healthy aging and potentially slow or treat neurodegenerative diseases.
Every cell in the body contains NAD+, which plays a “critical role” in body functions that are essential to survival.
Previous research has shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease exhibit “notably low levels” of NAD+, the researchers noted — which aligns with the fact that NAD+ declines with age.
“NAD+ may hold the key to healthier aging and could protect us against diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease,” said Evandro Fei Fang-Stavem, an associate professor at the University of Oslo, in a press release. “However, we need further research on how to effectively utilize NAD+ in patient treatment.”
Benefits of NAD+
Research has shown that boosting NAD+ can improve mitochondrial and stem cell function, improve energy metabolism, enhance focus and mood, and support tissue repair, according to Dr. Amanda Kahn, a board-certified internist and longevity expert in New York City.
“From a longevity standpoint, NAD+ is one of the most central molecules in maintaining youthful cellular function,” she told Fox News Digital. “It activates … longevity pathways that protect against DNA damage and inflammation.”
ONE OVERLOOKED DAILY HABIT COULD SLOW THE AGING PROCESS, RESEARCHERS SAY
Boosting NAD+ also supports neuroprotection from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces inflammation, repairs skin, boosts immune defense and improves symptoms in long COVID patients, Kahn added.
Dr. Halland Chen, a double board-certified physician in New York who specializes in longevity, reiterated that studies in both animals and early human models show that maintaining healthy NAD+ levels can improve energy metabolism, cognitive function and overall vitality.
“Restoring NAD+ is ultimately about cellular repair and mitochondrial optimization, not just an energy boost,” he told Fox News Digital. “Clinical experience shows that NAD+ therapy enhances energy, focus and endurance, while supporting detoxification and reducing oxidative stress from daily life, travel or poor sleep.”
COMMON DAILY VITAMIN SHOWN TO SLOW AGING PROCESS OVER FOUR-YEAR PERIOD
NAD+ also activates sirtuins, a group of longevity-related proteins that regulate DNA repair, cellular stress responses and gene expression, Chen said, although he noted that larger human studies are still needed.
Methods of boosting NAD+
In clinical studies, patients with age-related diseases have taken compounds designed to boost NAD+.
While NAD+ itself is a large molecule that can’t cross into cells, NAD+ “precursors” can enter cells and then work to create NAD+, experts confirm.
These precursors include nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Most people take these NAD+ precursors in the form of pills, capsules or powders.
“Clinical experience shows that NAD+ therapy enhances energy, focus and endurance while supporting detoxification.”
“Oral NAD precursors can modestly raise NAD+ levels and are convenient for daily maintenance,” Kahn said. “In contrast, injections or IV infusions bypass the gut and deliver NAD+ directly into circulation, leading to more rapid and noticeable effects on energy, focus and recovery.”
Kahn also prescribes a weaker NAD+ nasal spray for patients who can’t tolerate needles, though she said the benefits are typically less pronounced.
COMMON VITAMIN SHOWN TO SLASH SKIN CANCER RISK IN SOME GROUPS, STUDY SUGGESTS
“In general, I find that combining daily oral precursors with weekly NAD+ injections offers the most comprehensive support for both intracellular and extracellular NAD stores,” she advised.
Chen noted that oral supplements are best for maintenance, while IV therapy is often chosen for a “rapid cellular reboot, post-travel recovery or enhanced performance.”
“Sessions typically last two to four hours and are administered as a series of three infusions within seven to 10 days, followed by monthly maintenance.”
NAD+ therapy tends to have the most benefit for those managing fatigue, metabolic dysfunction or neurological decline, as well as anyone seeking to enhance energy, focus and recovery, Chen said.
“In healthy adults, benefits are typically modest, but can be amplified when combined with optimized nutrition, exercise and sleep,” he added.
Risks and caveats
While NAD+ therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, it can cause some mild side effects, according to Chen.

“Headache, nausea or chest tightness can occur, especially during faster IV infusions, and typically resolve when the rate is slowed,” Chen, who is also chief medical innovation officer at the digital wellness platform Eden, told Fox News Digital.
“Most reactions are transient and self-limited, and therapy is considered safe under medical supervision,” the doctor added.
He advises caution for people with active liver or kidney disease, those with a personal or family history of cancer, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Kahn noted that common side effects include mild redness, itching or tenderness at the injection site, “which is harmless and dissipates quickly.”
“Some patients notice a transient rush, lasting no more than 10 minutes, after taking an NAD+ injection due to a brief release of adrenaline and mitochondrial ATP,” she went on. “While not dangerous, it can feel uncomfortable if not anticipated.”
“If the core pillars — sleep, movement, nutrition, metabolic balance and stress regulation — are not in place, NAD+ therapy won’t deliver its full potential.”
When choosing a NAD+ product, quality matters more than quantity, according to multiple experts.
“Patients should look for clinically validated, third-party-tested formulations and start with lower doses to gauge tolerance,” Chen said.
NAD+ therapy isn’t a shortcut to health and longevity in and of itself, but one layer of a much larger foundation, according to the expert.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
“If the core pillars — sleep, movement, nutrition, metabolic balance and stress regulation — are not in place, NAD+ therapy won’t deliver its full potential,” he said. “It’s like pouring premium fuel into an engine that hasn’t been maintained — the energy source is there, but the system isn’t optimized to use it.”
It’s important to speak with a doctor before starting a NAD+ regimen, experts agree.
“Your doctor needs to know about all supplements you plan to take, including NAD+, because it has strong biological effects,” Chen said. “Your doctor will evaluate your personal health risks and check your medications for potential interactions with NAD+ supplements.”

Kahn noted that because NAD+ interacts with metabolic and cellular pathways, dosing and timing should be individualized — “especially for those with cancer history, metabolic conditions or multiple medications.”
“A physician should help determine the appropriate delivery method, duration and monitor for response and tolerance,” she said.
Here are some real estate predictions if frontrunner is elected in New York
Real estate experts are sounding the alarm over what could happen to New York City townhouse owners if mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the election.
The self-described “Democratic socialist” has taken the city by storm with a housing platform that includes a rent freeze and higher taxes on top earners. The so-called “Mamdani Effect” has rippled through the city since his campaign began, with Manhattan’s suburban housing markets seeing a surge in demand.
“Everybody is gearing up for sellers of townhouses, in particular,” Dolly Lenz, CEO of Dolly Lenz Real Estate, said Tuesday on “The Claman Countdown.” “Imagine you own a townhouse in New York. … He says he’s going to reduce police. You don’t want to be in a townhouse. You want to be in a doorman building, right? So that is a problem.”
NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE MAMDANI DOUBLES DOWN ON SOCIALIST POLICIES SUCH AS FREE BUSES, UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE
Jenny Lenz, managing director at Dolly Lenz Real Estate, explained that consumers are “a little hesitant right now” and opting to rent instead of buy while waiting to see what’s next.
Mamdani’s campaign has centered on affordability and redistribution of wealth — ideas that have resonated with some New Yorkers, according to previous reports. The Lenz mother-daughter duo noted that affordability remains a top issue for Americans as home prices continue to rise compared to pre-COVID levels.
“We’re 53% higher. That is a staggering number,” Jenny said. “We’ve had 27 straight months of price increases, and the median home price is about $415,000 now. So that’s really the issue, right? But at the same time, like we said, mortgage rates are coming down. So, we are seeing our friends and clients dip their toes back into the market, which is super exciting.”
NEARLY 1 IN 5 AMERICAN HOMES SLASH PRICES AS BUYERS GAIN UPPER HAND IN SHIFTING MARKET
Americans “voting with their feet” has reshaped the housing market as blue states rebound in real estate.
“It’s because everybody fled, everybody’s coming back, and prices have bottomed,” Dolly told FOX Business. “So, you’re looking at any place like New York — pricing has bottomed. Looking at Florida, Florida’s expensive. So, there’s not as much transaction volume; however, prices remain very high.”
Jenny added that areas where Americans once fled are “not doing well” because many residents have since returned.
“Developers went down there — to Florida, to Texas — and built and built and built, maybe a little too much,” she said. “Now, people are moving back. So, you’re seeing more deals in those markets, except in areas with very limited supply, like Palm Beach.”
Other consumers, the experts said, are trying to balance both experiences — living in Florida and New York — by downsizing one home and buying another.

As first-time homebuyers reenter the market, real estate experts say a Federal Reserve rate cut would help.
“Any mortgage reduction is welcome, obviously, and a Fed rate cut is welcome,” Dolly said. “I have news for Jerome Powell: Kindly, please make it two this year. We need it, and it’s good for the economy, it’s going to be good for everyone. It trickles down all the way through the system.”
Plus-size model ‘frozen’ after flight attendant’s 10-minute lecture about her weight
Plus-size model Tess Holliday said this week that she was recently told to lose weight by a flight attendant, and it left her in a “state of shock.”
The 40-year-old said she was flying first class on United from Tampa, Florida, with her 9-year-old son when she got up to use the airplane bathroom.
“I was in the restroom, and my hip hit the flight attendant call button,” she told People magazine. “When I came out of the bathroom, the flight attendant then started to tell me that they noticed I was traveling with my child, and that losing weight would be in my best interest.”
She said he continued to tell her about his sister whom he said was “very, very large, probably [Holliday’s] size,” who had been discriminated against on a flight recently.

“He said that his sister needed to lose weight as well, and that the long-term effect on our bodies isn’t good for our health,” she said. “This went on for about 10 minutes, and I think I was just frozen. I didn’t want to make a scene because my son was flying with me, but I was also in a state of shock.”
Holliday said in a TikTok video that it was also an important flight for her son because it was his first time flying first class since he was little.
“He had flown when he was a baby, but didn’t remember, so this was a really exciting experience for him,” she explained.

She said in the video that the flight attendant mentioned that someone had filed a complaint to United against his sister for her weight, and that United reached out to him and said things about his sister that “made him uncomfortable,” but he did “agree that she did need to lose weight.”
The Cosmopolitan UK cover girl said the flight attendant allegedly told her that he saw she was traveling with her child “and that if I cared about my child that I would do something, that I would lose the weight.”
“He then goes on to tell me that because of my size, I am kidding myself if I think that I don’t need to lose weight,” she claimed.

Holliday said she knows that people hearing her story might think he was just trying to be helpful.
“That’s not the point,” she stressed. “You don’t say things like that to people. He said a myriad of other things. The conversation lasted entirely too long. Thankfully, I excused myself from the conversation when another passenger came up to use the bathroom.”
At the end of the video, she added that the same flight attendant came around to her seat offering snacks and allegedly gave her son gummies to keep him from being “tempted.”

In a comment after the video, Holliday said that she had “talked to United, and they said that they would pass it along and talk to the team member. I also told them I don’t want anyone losing their job. I just want them to be aware and maybe do some sensitivity training so it doesn’t happen again.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Holliday for comment. United had no comment for Fox News Digital.
Greene says Trump ‘losing support’ as House GOP tensions boil on private call
House Republicans held a lawmaker-only conference call on Tuesday that grew tense when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., confronted Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on his strategy to navigate the ongoing government shutdown.
Johnson has been holding weekly calls to keep GOP lawmakers updated on the shutdown while instructing them to remain in their home districts rather than in Washington.
It’s part of Johnson’s pressure strategy to force Senate Democrats into accepting the GOP’s federal funding plan.
However, Fox News Digital was told that Greene forcefully countered that Republicans’ House majority was “being wasted” by staying in their districts.
BATTLEGROUND REPUBLICANS HOLD THE LINE AS JOHNSON PRESSURES DEMS ON SHUTDOWN
She said House Republicans would be better served passing legislation in Washington and finding an “off ramp” to COVID-19 pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year if a deal isn’t reached.
An extension of those subsidies has been Democrats’ main demand in exchange for agreeing to any funding deal.
“You guys need to get out of Washington, D.C., and go back to your districts and talk to real people, because real people are pissed,” Greene told House GOP leaders, Fox News Digital learned. “They expect us to do our legislative constitutional duty and not take marching orders from the political team at the White House.”
She turned her ire on President Donald Trump as well, pointing out she was one of his earliest fervent supporters but adding, “Even the president is losing support.”
Fox News Digital was told that Johnson defended Republicans’ legislative record so far as well as Trump’s popularity among the GOP base.
He also said he and other Republican leaders had been working tirelessly to end the shutdown, Fox News Digital was told.
“He’s not sleeping. I’m not sleeping … because we are working around the clock,” Johnson said.
Johnson then went further and criticized Greene for airing her concerns with the GOP’s direction on social media, asking her, “How does that help us, Marjorie?”
Several other House Republicans who spoke up defended Johnson’s handling of the shutdown, Fox News Digital was told.
Two notable exceptions were Reps. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., and Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, who Fox News Digital was told also raised concerns about keeping the House out.
The speaker has kept the House out of Washington since Sept. 19, when his chamber passed the GOP’s short-term funding bill to give lawmakers until Nov. 21 to reach a deal on government funding.
SCREAMING MATCH ERUPTS BETWEEN HAKEEM JEFFRIES, MIKE LAWLER AS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CHAOS CONTINUES
But Senate Democrats have since rejected that legislation 13 times.
Johnson argued on the call that Republicans were still busy at work despite not being in Washington, Fox News Digital was told.
And while Tuesday’s confrontation marks the first time Greene made her concerns known on the House GOP’s weekly shutdown calls, she has been vocal on social media about her frustration.

Greene even confirmed her side of the account on X while the call was ongoing.
“I said I have no respect for the House not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders. And I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican plan for healthcare is to build the off-ramp off Obamacare and the [Affordable Care Act] tax credits to make health insurance affordable for Americans,” Greene wrote.
“Johnson said he’s got ideas and pages of policy ideas and committees of jurisdiction are working on it, but he refused to give one policy proposal to our GOP conference on our own conference call. Apparently I have to go into a [classified setting] to find out the Republican healthcare plan!!!”
Fox News Digital reached out to Johnson’s office and the White House for a response but did not immediately hear back.
Saints name rookie their starting quarterback, bench struggling veteran
The New Orleans Saints are making a change at quarterback.
During the team’s 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, head coach Kellen Moore benched Spencer Rattler for rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough.
Moore plugged Shough into the game during the third quarter, and on Tuesday, he informed the rookie that he would be the starter, per ESPN.

After the Saints’ loss, Moore said he benched Rattler to find a spark.
“We just needed a spark,” Moore said. “Spencer’s had some turnover bugs the last few weeks, but he’s played plenty of good football.”
The Saints are 1-7, tied for the NFL’s worst record, and while Rattler has shown promise at times, the offense has struggled.
Through Sunday’s NFL games, the Saints ranked 27th in total offense (295 yards per game), 22nd in passing (201.4) and 29th in scoring (16 points per game). And in the last two games, Rattler has committed six turnovers — four interceptions and two lost fumbles.
EAGLES’ DOM DISANDRO VISITS INJURED GIANTS’ CAM SKATTEBO IN HOSPITAL WITH PIZZA AND CHEESESTEAKS: REPORT
In eight games this season, Rattler has completed 68% of his passes for 1,586 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also run for 167 yards.
Shough completed 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards and one interception in relief of Rattler on Sunday.
The Saints selected Shough with their second-round pick (No. 40 overall) out of Louisville in April. He became the team’s highest-drafted quarterback since Archie Manning was taken No. 2 overall in 1971.

Shough played seven years of college football. He spent his first three seasons at Oregon before transferring to Texas Tech for three years. He finished his career at Louisville, where he completed 62.7% of his passes for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Shough dealt with numerous injuries throughout his career, playing more than eight games in a season only once — last year at Louisville.
Moore hopes that Shough can help lead the Saints to their second win of the season when they take on the Los Angeles Rams (5-2) on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Chris Harrison rebuilds life in Texas after ‘Bachelor’ controversy derailed TV career
Chris Harrison has found that “Austin is the new Hollywood” after fleeing Los Angeles.
Harrison moved to Austin, Texas, after permanently stepping away from his role as the host of “The Bachelor” franchise. The reality TV show host left the job in 2021 after defending contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, who came under fire for attending a plantation-themed fraternity party years prior. The move turned out to be a blessing for Harrison, who has felt a sense of relief since leaving the dating show.
“I mean, what I love most about the new chapter is the fact that Austin is the new Hollywood, which means the opportunities are a plenty here,” he told People Magazine.
“There is so much tech, music, food, entertainment, theater,” Harrison added. “It’s all happening here. And it reminds me of what Hollywood was built on, which is anything and everything is possible if everybody will just come in with an honest, open heart and mind and just wanna do some fun work together.”
‘MODERN FAMILY’ STAR ERIC STONESTREET MARRIES LONGTIME GIRLFRIEND AT KANSAS CITY HOME AFTER LEAVING HOLLYWOOD
Harrison bought an Austin-area home in 2020 after making his big move. Three years later, he married entertainment reporter Lauren Zima.
“We’ve met so many incredible people from all around the world, from all different industries that just want to collaborate and do great things,” he explained. “And it’s so exciting to be a part of.”
“The energy is truly palpable in this city right now, and it’s just fun to jump in and go with the flow.”

Harrison, who led “The Bachelor” and a handful of spinoff series for 19 years, said he has felt a sense of relief since stepping off the “merry-go-round” that his life was on at the time.
“You know, when you do something every single day for two decades, and it’s so popular around the world, there is a pressure to that, and there’s a spotlight and a microscope that you don’t even realize you’re under until you kinda get off that merry-go-round,” Harrison explained.
“And it was this kind of angst when I first got off, because I mean, ‘Oh, well, I gotta get back on. I gotta go back to work,’ or… And then I kind of took a deep breath, and you dropped your shoulders, and I think, you know, obviously falling in love definitely helped. Moving to Austin definitely helped kind of relieve that and realize, ‘Wow, there’s a whole other world out here to dive into.’ And so it has been a wonderful break and relief.”

After stepping away from “The Bachelor,” Harrison was temporarily replaced by “Bachelorette” alums Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams.
These days, former NFL star Jesse Palmer leads the show.
“Falling in love is one of life’s greatest gifts, and I am humbled by the opportunity to return to the show as host this season to offer the newest Bachelor advice gained from firsthand experience, and I am grateful to play a small part in his journey,” Palmer told Variety in a statement in 2021.
