Kyra Sedgwick says knowing her ancestor signed the Declaration of Independence 'means a lot' to her
Kyra Sedgwick is sharing why the upcoming 250th anniversary of America's independence is special to her.
During a recent appearance on "Today," the 60-year-old actress revealed that one of her ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence, telling the hosts that knowing that "means a lot."
"I mean, as an American, democracy means a lot to me. The Constitution means a lot to me. And the Declaration of Independence is obviously what it's based on, and I just think that it's a great honor and responsibility," she said. "William Ellery, he was a long way back there. Yeah, he was a lawyer, he was amazing. The original writers of that Declaration were pretty extraordinary."
She was on the show to promote her latest film, "Carolina Caroline," in which she plays the alcoholic mother of the main character.
KEVIN COSTNER FELT LIKE A ‘DUMBBELL’ IN SCHOOL BEFORE FINDING HIS PASSION
The "Singles" star got her start in the entertainment industry as a teenager on the soap opera, "Another World," later appearing in films such as "Kansas," "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Lemon Sky," which is where she met her husband, Kevin Bacon.
After meeting on the set of the movie, Bacon and Sedgwick began dating, with the actress telling People in March 2023 that Bacon fell in love with her after a comment she made while out to dinner one night.
"It was a nice dinner. I opened the menu and said, ‘I can’t believe these prices, and he instantly fell in love," she laughed, adding, "I was like, ‘Oh my God! This place is really expensive!’"
The two dated for a few years before tying the knot in September 1988 and have since welcomed two children together: Travis, 36, and Sosie, 34.

While on an episode of "Last Meals" in April 2025, Bacon shared why he and Sedgwick chose not to expose their children to fame when they were growing up, telling the outlet, his children did not "sign up" for the lifestyle that comes with being famous.
"When it came to promoting my own fame and taking my kids to premieres and making them watch my movies and showing them an article in the paper…we really didn’t do that," Bacon said. "We really avoided it. I think we really felt like it would be nice for them to have some…we knew how weird this life was."
Although the couple chose to keep their children out of the spotlight, they chose that path for themselves when they got older.

Their son is the frontman of the industrial metal band CONTRACULT Collective, while their daughter followed in her parents' footsteps as an actress, starring in "Mare of Easttown," "13 Reasons Why" and "Smile." They have also attended red carpet events with their parents over the years.
"I just felt like, let them figure out their own thing. So that’s the way we parented them. I keep telling them, ‘It had to have been hard for you. Please, tell me. I want to know. Sit with your therapist, it’s okay,'" he added. "You can get mad at me for this life that you were…and they just will not go there. They will not acknowledge that it was anything that was difficult about having one of them."
Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau remembered through new playground for special needs children
The death of NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew was an unimaginable tragedy, but their family is making sure that they continue to do a lot of good on their behalf.
This week, the Gaudreau family helped dedicate a new adaptive playground for children with special needs at Archbishop Damiano School in Westville, New Jersey.
The playground's name? "The Gaudreau Brothers' Wings of Hope & Chrysalis Corner."

"When the sign was unveiled, all I kept thinking about was the boys, how they would be so excited to see this," the brothers' mother, Jane Gaudreau, said, according to NHL.com. "This school has been part of our family for so long. I'm so proud that the playground is named in honor of them."
The playground was built using funds raised by The Gaudreau Family 5K. The first annual event was held last year, while the second was held just last month.

Gaudreau said that the event raised "98 percent" of the funds to build the playground, which was completed with a community build.
Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed after being hit by an alleged drunk driver while riding their bikes in New Jersey back in August 2024.
At the time, Gaudreau was playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets after first spending nearly a decade with the Calgary Flames. Meanwhile, Matthew had played college hockey at Boston College, just like his brother, and went on to play in the AHL and ECHL.
Gaudreau was honored earlier this year at the Olympic Games in Milan when the U.S. Men's Hockey team — which he was likely to have been a part of — won gold. The team took post-game photos with a No. 13 jersey as well as Gaudreau's children.
Sean M. Higgins, the man accused of killing the Gaudreaus, faces six charges, including two counts of first-degree aggravated manslaughter.
According to ESPN, a motion to dismiss some of the charges was denied last month, and Higgins' next court date is scheduled for June 16.
Spearfisherman killed by suspected 15-foot shark after third fatal attack in less than a month
A fisherman was killed late Saturday morning after an attack by a suspected nearly 15-foot shark off the coast of Western Australia.
The unidentified 35-year-old was spearfishing near Michaelmas Island, a protected sand cay on the Great Barrier Reef not far from the city of Albany.
The island is around 240 miles south of Perth, the state’s capital.
His was the third fatal shark attack in the country in less than a month.
SHARK ATTACK DEATHS SURGE ABOVE DECADE AVERAGE IN 2025
The man was brought by boat to shore, but paramedics weren’t able to revive him.
On May 24, 39-year-old Michael Jensz was killed after suffering head injuries while spearfishing along the Great Barrier Reef off the country’s northeast coast.
A bull shark is suspected in his death.
On May 16, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni was killed by a white shark at Rottnest Island, a popular resort in Western Australia. He was also spearfishing.
In January, a 12-year-old also died a week after he was attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbor.
Australia usually averages around three shark deaths per year.
"We do see an increase in larger sharks this time of the year, particularly chasing the sardine and the salmon along the coast, which is quite normal," commercial fisherman Gregory Sharp told the Australian Broadcasting Company Saturday.
He added that sharks also tend to attack in areas "where there's a lot of seals, and the island area in King George Sound is renowned for seals."
Michaelmas Island is located in King George Sound.
Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said in a Facebook post Saturday that he was deeply saddened to hear of this morning's fatal shark attack in Albany.
This is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the victim's family and friends, as well as the first responders."
Dodgers' Blake Treinen was the only player not wearing a pride hat during pride night, and I support him
Unless you’re the Texas Rangers, LGBTQ Pride Night has become a tradition for every Major League Baseball team, including the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team went as far as unveiling a tribute in centerfield to "LGBTQ trailblazers" Glenn Burke and Billy Bean (no, not the "Moneyball" Billy Beane). The whole team also wore pride-colored hats for the occasion. All but one.
Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen is an outspoken Christian who has been unashamed to share his faith and conservative thoughts. When the Dodgers decided to reinvite and honor the anti-Christian drag nun group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, he made his stance clear. Treinen said that he was "disappointed to see The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored as heroes at Dodger Stadium. Many of their performances are blasphemous, and their work only displays hate and mockery of Catholics and the Christian faith."
After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Treinen made a subtle, yet profound statement by writing Kirk’s name on the side of his hat bordered by christian crosses.
DODGERS BREAK OUT ANNUAL PRIDE NIGHT HATS, DRAWING BRUTAL REACTIONS
Following the Dodgers' thrilling Game 7 victory over Toronto, where Treinen was the winning pitcher, he said , "It's the favor of the Lord on my body. I've been praying just to be ready and able for this team when they need me."
When presented with the opportunity to make another bold stance for his Christian faith, Treinen refused to participate in the display of the LGBTQ pride and stuck to his moral and biblical convictions. While other self-professed Christians on his team, including shortstop Mookie Betts and manager Dave Roberts, decided to follow the crowd by wearing the hats, Treinen refused.
For clarification, another outspoken Christian on the team, catcher Alex Call, could be seen wearing a headband throughout the evening. He was also the player who dumped the water cooler on Freddie Freeman after his walk-off home run sealed a 1-0 victory. Because of that, I couldn't tell from rewatching the broadcast whether Call ever wore the hat while he was in the dugout. If he refused to wear it as well, I applaud him.
Notably, now-retired Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw wrote Genesis 9:12-16 as a reminder that the rainbow is a actually a sign of God’s covenant never to flood the earth again like He did in the days of the prophet Noah.
DODGERS PITCHER CLAYTON KERSHAW DISPLAYS BIBLE PASSAGE ON HAT DURING PRIDE NIGHT
As a Christian, I wholeheartedly support Treinen’s decision and I believe this is what every Christian athlete should be doing in these situations. No, that of course does not mean Treinen, nor any other athlete "hates" or has any sort of ill wishes for LGBTQ-identifying fans or people. It just means that they are standing firm in their faith, which does not align with the modern sexual ethic of transgenderism, homosexuality, bisexuality, non-binary identification, etc. Just as I wouldn’t expect a non-Christian athlete to wear a hat with a cross on it if there was a Christian Night in Major League Baseball.
There’s a reason the NHL moved away from Pride jerseys during warmups. Christian players were often put in a position where they felt they had to choose between their religious convictions and wearing the jersey. Those who declined frequently faced intense criticism from media outlets and activists. Just look at the reaction to former Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov and former San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer when they chose not to participate.
The controversy created a difficult situation for everyone involved and ultimately contributed to the NHL's decision to discontinue specialty warmup jerseys. While the league later reversed course on its ban of Pride tape, MLB should consider a similar approach when it comes to Pride-themed jerseys and hats, allowing players to opt out without controversy or pressure.
If Faith and Family Night — which is often centered around Christian groups — isn't a stadium-wide event and is instead limited to a community activation where attendees can purchase tickets in a designated section and receive themed merchandise, then Pride Night should follow the same model. In my view, that would be a step in the right direction.
Well done, Blake Treinen. This is just another example of the mission that guides his life. Speaking with Will Dawson of CBN Sports, Treinen said, "How do we make heaven crowded? That's really my goal... When I am welcomed into the gates of heaven, I want to hear, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'"
Simone Biles reveals near-death experience: 'Almost dying wasn't on my bingo card this week'
Olympic legend Simone Biles revealed that she "almost died" in a cryptic Instagram post on Saturday.
On her Instagram story, Biles shared vague details about the experience, without recounting any specifics, with the background just being a photo of her hand.

"I'm not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today's age. But almost dying wasn't on my bingo card this week," Biles wrote.
"This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices. I've been in bed resting this week. I'll explain sooner or later, but [shoutout] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited & or sent flowers."
AMERICAN OLYMPIAN ANITA ALVAREZ RECALLS NEAR-DROWNING INCIDENT
Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, is a safety for the Indianapolis Colts. The couple has been married since 2023, though Owens' NFL career has occasionally forced them to spend time apart. Since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018, he has played for five different teams.
The two met while Owens was with the Houston Texans in 2019. Biles lives in Texas, where the couple has built a massive home together. Since his time in Houston, Owens has also played for the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and now the Colts.
Back in November, Biles revealed that she had recently undergone three plastic surgeries.
"I've had three plastic surgeries and two of them you would never be able to tell," she said in a TikTok that month.

Steve Hilton launches ad mocking Xavier Becerra's '36 years' as a career politician in California gov race
California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton launched a new campaign ad Saturday targeting former Biden administration official Xavier Becerra, signaling the general election fight may already be underway even as primary ballots continue to be counted.
The 55-second ad mocks Becerra's lengthy political career and record in government, portraying the Democrat as a continuation of California's political status quo.
The ad features silent clips of Becerra appearing on an old-fashioned TV screen while captions flash across the screen, including: "I've been a career politician for 36 years. Vote for me."
Other captions reference issues likely to become central themes in the governor's race, including homelessness, California's high-speed rail project and Becerra's tenure as secretary of Health and Human Services in former President Joe Biden's administration.
HILTON, BECERRA, IN THE LEAD WITH VOTES STILL BEING COUNTED IN BATTLE FOR CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
The ad also attempts to tie Becerra to Gov. Gavin Newsom, ending with the message: "I'll change nothing about how California is governed," followed by the tagline, "Don't watch another rerun."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Becerra and the Hilton campaigns for comment.
The ad comes less than 24 hours after The Associated Press projected Becerra would advance to California's November gubernatorial election to succeed the term-limited Newsom.
CALIFORNIA ELECTION LIMBO FUELED BY 4 PRESSURE POINTS DRAGGING OUT VOTE COUNT, EXPERT SAYS
As vote counting continued Saturday, Becerra led the field with 26.8% of the vote, according to AP totals. Hilton received 26.4%, while Democrat Tom Steyer had 21.1%.
Roughly 68% of ballots had been counted as of Saturday afternoon.
In a statement after the AP race call, Becerra celebrated the result and framed his campaign as a fight for California voters.
"The people of the great state of California, in the greatest nation on earth, have spoken — loudly and proudly," Becerra said. "We will not be bought. We will not be bullied. And we are never backing down. November, here we come."
Becerra's campaign also said the result makes him the first Latino candidate to advance from a California gubernatorial primary to a general election, calling it a historic milestone for the state.
If elected in November, Becerra would become California's first Latino governor since Romualdo Pacheco, who briefly served as governor in 1875.
Becerra, a former California attorney general, served as Health and Human Services secretary during the Biden administration before launching his gubernatorial campaign.
Hilton, a former Fox News host and political commentator, has campaigned as a political outsider and agent of change, arguing California is headed in the wrong direction under Democratic leadership.
Results from Tuesday's primary have not yet been certified.
Dustin Johnson celebrates hole-in-one with infuriatingly nonchalant response at LIV event
Golf is a game that can bring out a wide array of emotions from even the most stoic of competitors.
Even a single round of golf can elicit the entire spectrum of emotions, from elation to agony and everything in between.
One hole, you're feeling like a PGA Championship winner and the next you feel like you never want to pick up a golf club again.
A guy who knows about that range of emotions all too well is Dustin Johnson.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
The two-time major champion has obviously seen it all in the game of golf, and he was at the tee box on Saturday at the LIV Golf Andalucia event at Real Club Valderrama looking to make a run up the leaderboard.
DJ calmly ripped his tee shot as the ball took two hops on the green before rolling home for a hole-in-one.
The scene was complete pandemonium as both Johnson and the crowd could hardly contain their excitement.
Wait, that was it?
Does he know that he just aced it or did someone not tell him?
I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that I've gotten more excited about keeping my 185-yard drive in the middle of the fairway on my municipal track than Johnson did about a hole-in-one during a sanctioned golf event.
KEEGAN BRADLEY'S ACE, SPECIAL FATHER-SON MOMENT HIGHLIGHTS BELOVED MASTERS PAR 3 CONTEST
For crying out loud, he even shrugs at the end of the clip.
Granted, the guy is 6'4", has a nine-figure net worth and is married to Paulina Gretzky, so he's kind of winning at the game of life.
Hitting a hole-in-one probably feels like finding a quarter on the side of the road for this lucky son-of-a-gun.
Nonetheless, his nonchalant reaction drew the ire of amateur golfers and fans all over social media, knowing they'll never experience that same feeling.
Would it have killed him to show a little emotion? A fist pump, perhaps?
Either way, congrats to DJ on his ace today.
I'm sure despite his cavalier attitude about it, it probably still rocks to hit a hole-in-one no matter how many times you've done it before.
Why disappointment in qualifying may not spell the end of Ferrari's Monaco hopes this year
Everyone knows that qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix is the most important qualifying session on the Formula 1 calendar, because of how hard it is to overtake.
So, Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc starting P3 and P4, respectively (assuming damage Leclerc sustained in qualifying doesn't lead to a start from the back of the grid or the pit lane), is a bit of a disappointment, especially given a really strong weekend in practice and talk that their car is well suited for Monaco's many slow-speed corners.
But perhaps all is not lost, because it seems like Ferrari has one last shot at breaking up Mercedes and polesitter Kimi Antonelli's run of dominance this season.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Going into the weekend, a lot of the buzz around Ferrari had to do with their car's ability in lower-speed corners. This has to do with the turbo that's used in the Ferrari engine, which is smaller than ones used by competitors, meaning it gets up to speed faster, allowing for quicker acceleration.
Kind of key when you're exiting a slow corner, right?
Hamilton and Leclerc were the top two drivers in the first two practice sessions, while Antonelli beat them in FP3.
In qualifying, Antonelli continued his heroics to take pole, but what no one really saw coming was Max Verstappen doing Max Verstappen things and sticking his Red Bull on the first row.
Now, starting at Monaco from the second row is not ideal, considering that this is generally a race won from pole.
But...
Remember that thing about the Ferraris accelerating quickly?
F1 STAR CHARLES LECLERC REVEALS HIS PRE-RACE DIET AND PREPARATION
Starts have been Ferrari's strong suit this season, while, crucially, Mercedes' — and more specifically Antonelli's — starts have been their biggest weakness.
On top of that, Verstappen's Red Bull has not always been the quickest off the line.
While starting from the front row is what Ferrari would've wanted, they still have a real shot to steal a win by outdragging the two cars on the front row into the first corner, Sainte Devote.
If they can do that, they might have a serious chance given Monaco's limited overtaking spots.
I think the one to watch here is Hamilton. In P3, he's starting a little farther up than Leclerc, but also has the benefit of the clean side of the grid to help him get off the line faster.
Of course, he'll have to make the move stick and then hang on to it.
Keeping a Kimi Antonelli in a Silver Arrow who has been driving out of his mind this season behind for an entire race will be a big challenge.
But if neither Ferrari can make an early move, barring any weather or goofiness, Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen have the edge.
Rupert Everett exposes his 'lethal' past, admits he was 'slightly sociopathic' during Hollywood golden era
Rupert Everett is looking back on his "slightly sociopathic" past.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, the 67-year-old actor discussed his rebellious past, calling himself "Brash. Pushy. Disingenuous. Lethal."
"Well, I was lethal. I was just interested in myself and my own pleasure. That’s always lethal. I think I was slightly sociopathic. I was a terrible gossip, and I repeated everything everyone told me. I’d borrow people’s clothes and never give them back," he said. "I don’t know how I justified it to myself. I was lethal."
The "Shrek 2" star explained he was very concerned about his "vanity," saying for him, vanity is "a feeling of deep insecurity rather than feeling how fabulous I am."
CHARLIE SHEEN ADMITS HE ‘LIT THE FUSE’ THAT BLEW HIS LIFE APART AS TURBULENT PAST RESURFACES
He has since left his partying ways behind him, saying that while he thought he would still be clubbing in his 70s, he is "not remotely interested" in any of that.
"I’m interested in dust particles and things like that," he said. "I could quite happily sit just watching spring...I love smaller things now, thank God."
Not only was he "lethal" to others in his life, he also admits to being careless with his body, telling the outlet "I ruined myself."
When looking back at his body when he was younger, noting, "I was wonderful-looking at one point" and had muscles, but admits to going to great lengths to get there.

"I ruined myself. Now I’m almost crippled as a result. I could never be bothered to do all those things, like stretching, which were necessary for lifting weights, because your tendons get tighter and tighter. So boring. I didn’t do any of that. So now my demise will be musculoskeletal, I think."
As he has gotten older, Everett admits that while he is "still quite selfish," but less so than when he was younger, adding he is "probably more thoughtful about other people’s spaces," adding, "You have to be when you live with someone."

The actor has been with his wife, Henrique, for 16 years, confirming in August 2024 that the two had officially tied the knot.
"As soon as you live with someone, that’s the end of that – otherwise you’d split up after five minutes," he said. "You have to make allowances, give territory."
Everett had his breakthrough in the entertainment industry in the 1981 play "Another Country," and later reprised his role in the 1984 film adaptation.
He then gained international stardom in "My Best Friend's Wedding," which earned him a Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination.
He later earned another Golden Globe nomination for his role in the 1999 movie, "An Ideal Husband."
Social media has absolute field day as Spanish national soccer team arrives in Chattanooga
The 2026 World Cup is less than a week away, and teams are making their final preparations as they gear up for a run towards soccer's most coveted trophy.
As squads from all different nations descend upon North America, it's interesting to see which cities will play host to these national teams.

The culture shock of a team from the Middle East ending up in Kansas City or the South Korean team making their way through Philly is something many have been looking forward to ever since the news of America being a host nation for the World Cup became a reality in 2022.
Soccer fans all over social media got their wish on Saturday, as the Spanish national team made their way through the gem of the Smoky Mountains, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and it's safe to say there was some confusion as to the pairing of team and venue.
ARROWHEAD STADIUM LOOKS UNRECOGNIZABLE AS VENUE PREPARES TO HOST FIFA WORLD CUP MATCHES
Even the mere thought of a bunch of millionaire soccer players from metropolitan areas in Spain being exposed to East Tennessee is hilarious enough, but seeing their buses being escorted through the streets of downtown Chattanooga on a weekend while 85% of the people in the area couldn't pick some of their best players out of a lineup is a sight to behold.
The internet seemed to think so as well, as fans on X had an absolute field day with the videos coming out of the Volunteer State this weekend.
Here they are arriving at — gasp — The Embassy Suites in Chattanooga, as posh European soccer fans clutch their pearls that FIFA would dare hole a World Cup-winning nation up in such a fly-by-night establishment.
The horror!
We also got video of very dedicated fans chanting teenage sensation Lamine Yamal's name as he stepped off the team bus.
Hmm, maybe I was wrong about soccer fans in Tennessee. They seem to really know their stuff.
It is objectively hysterical thinking about a bunch of Tennessee natives cheering on an 18-year-old from Barcelona, but the game has really evolved in the 32 years since the United States last hosted a World Cup.
In all seriousness, it's cool to see these teams arriving in America and this year's World Cup should be a fun one to watch.
Here's hoping the Spaniards enjoy their stay in the Smoky Mountains. Be sure to try the barbecue!
