Kendrick Lamar headlines Super Bowl LIX's halftime show
Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX’s halftime show in New Orleans in February.
The NFL and Apple Music made the announcement hours before the league’s first full slate of Sunday games for the 2024 season got underway.

"Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one," Lamar said in a news release.
Lamar is considered one of the greatest hip-hop acts of all time, and he solidified that during the summer in a rap feud with Drake. But the back-and-forth between this generation’s top rappers is only the tip of the iceberg for Lamar’s discography.
He’s accumulated 17 Grammy Award wins and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his album "DAMN." His last album, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," was released in 2022.

Lamar’s "Not Like Us" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jay-Z, the founder of Roc Nation, called Lamar a "once-in-a-generation" artist and performer.
"His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision," Jay-Z said. "He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come."
Super Bowl LIX will take place Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome – the home of the New Orleans Saints.

Bernie Sanders says Harris dropping far-left policies 'in order to win the election'
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., gave a candid answer when asked about Vice President Kamala Harris flip-flopping on several of her progressive policy positions with less than two months to go until the November election.
"She has previously supported Medicare-For-All, now she does not. She’s previously supported a ban on fracking, now she does not. These, senator, are ideas that you have campaigned on. Do you think she is abandoning her progressive ideals?" NBC anchor Kristen Welker asked Sanders on "Meet the Press."
"No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals," he replied. "I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election."
HARRIS SHIFTS KEY POSITIONS ON BORDER, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AS CAMPAIGN PROMISES ‘PRAGMATIC’ APPROACH
Since emerging as the Democratic nominee, Harris has distanced herself from far-left policies on immigration, energy and health care that she previously embraced.
When asked to defend her shifting policy positions during her first sit-down interview as the nominee in August, Harris said her "values have not changed."
"I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," Harris told CNN's Dana Bash. "You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed, and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act."
"We have set goals for the United States of America, and by extension, the globe, around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," Harris continued.
"That value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the attorney general of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage, of guns, drugs and human beings across our border. My values have not changed," she said.
On NBC, Sanders said his views were "slightly different" than Harris', but he still considers her a "progressive" with similar goals.
49 DAYS: KAMALA HARRIS HAS YET TO DO FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
"She has another approach toward moving to universal health care," Sanders said about Harris no longer supporting Medicare-For-All.
"But again, I think on issues like expanding Medicare, like expanding Social Security and lifting the cap on taxable income that the rich put so we can raise Social Security benefits… the need to raise the minimum wage from a starvation, $7.25 minimum wage to a living wage… I think if you campaign on those issues, raising questions on billionaires, you know what? She’s going to win, and I think she can win big," he continued.
Sanders reiterated that he believes Harris to be a "progressive" before listing policies they share support for.
"Look, she and I – she is not where I am, but I think, for example, when she talks about making the child tax credit permanent and you know, we did that in the American Rescue Plan. We lowered childhood poverty by 40%. Kristen, we should not have, as the richest country on earth, one of the highest rates of childhood poverty. When she talks about 3 million units of affordable housing, that’s a big deal because we have a major housing crisis in America. When she talks about passing the PRO Act to make it easier for workers to join unions, that’s a big deal because we have to expand the union movement so the workers get decent wages. So yes, her views are not mine, but I do consider her a progressive," he added.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.
A campaign spokesperson previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that Harris had changed several of her key policy positions and was taking a "pragmatic" approach to "bring all sides together."
"While Donald Trump is wedded to the extreme ideas in his Project 2025 agenda, Vice President Harris believes real leadership means bringing all sides together to build consensus," spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg said in a statement. "It is that approach that made it possible for the Biden-Harris administration to achieve bipartisan breakthroughs on everything from infrastructure to gun violence prevention. As President, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common-sense solutions for the sake of progress."
A Harris campaign adviser told Fox that her positions have been "shaped by three years of effective governance as part of the Biden-Harris administration."
Harris and former President Trump will meet Tuesday at a debate hosted by ABC News.

Orlando Bloom thought he 'was gonna die' from 52-pound weight loss for new movie
Orlando Bloom lost nearly a third of his body weight to play a revived boxer in his upcoming film, "The Cut," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last week.
The actor, 47, detailed the rigorous process, admitting that it impacted more than just his physical health.
"I basically tiered down the food over a three-month period until just before filming, [when] I was at my lightest. I dropped 52 pounds, and I was about 185 when I started," Bloom said at Variety's Toronto Film Festival Studio. "I dropped quite a lot of weight, and I was very mentally challenged as well."
KATY PERRY REVEALS ORLANDO BLOOM'S X-RATED REWARD FOR COMPLETING CHORES
In a conversation with People magazine, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" star elaborated on his preparation for what he called a "taxing" role, saying, "I was very hangry. . . . The last three weeks in London, before we started filming, were just tuna and cucumber."
In the film, Bloom's character is tasked with losing an excessive amount of weight in a six-day period in order to step back into the ring.

Bloom says his longtime partner, singer Katy Perry, found his transformation harrowing. After viewing the film, Perry "was freaked out," Bloom shared. "She watched it and was like, ‘I need a stiff drink.’"
But she also cried.
"She was really moved. She knew what it took," Bloom said.
Bloom said that over the course of filming, he thought he might not make it.
"I literally thought I was gonna die," he told the outlet, adding that Perry supported him every step of the way. "She was there throughout, with the kids and stuff. . . . It's hard for your family."
In 2020, Bloom and Perry welcomed their first child together, daughter Daisy Dove. Bloom first became a father in 2011, when he and ex-wife Miranda Kerr welcomed their son, Flynn.

Bloom's costar, Caitríona Balfe, told the outlet that having a family only amplifies the anguish of the challenging filming process.
"You can do stuff like that when you're on your own, it's one thing about being single. We were all younger before we had families [and] you can kind of throw yourself into something. But when you have to come home, and you have to be a parent."
Balfe said the English actor looked "gaunt" prior to filming.
"The transformation was shocking . . . I was like, ‘You look like a raisin.’"
Bloom said that throughout the filming process, he gained weight back.
Voters report Kamala Harris is more radical than Trump: 'too liberal or progressive'
More voters report that Vice President Kamala Harris is "too liberal or progressive" on key policy issues than they considered former President Donald Trump as "too conservative," according to a New York Times poll.
The New York Times/Sienna College poll published Sunday found Trump with a narrow lead over Harris, at 48% to Harris' 47%, signaling her political boost from the DNC after replacing President Biden on the ticket might be dwindling as the election comes down to its final stages.
Among the data compiled in the poll, it found that nearly the majority of voters reported Trump is "not too far" to the left or right on key issues, while only around one-third of voters said he’s "too conservative," the New York Times poll found.
On the other hand, nearly half of voters surveyed, at 44%, reported that Harris is "too liberal and progressive," and 42% found that she’s "not too far either way."
FOX NEWS POLL: NEW MATCHUP, SAME RESULT — TRUMP BESTS HARRIS BY ONE POINT
The New York Times reported that Trump’s lead over Harris as a more centrist candidate is one of his "overlooked advantages."
CNN DATA GURU DECLARES TRUMP WILL WIN WHITE HOUSE IF HE OUTPERFORMS CURRENT POLLING BY ONE POINT
"Yes, he’s outside of the political mainstream in many respects — he denied the result of the 2020 election. And yes, he does have conservative views on many issues, like immigration. But he’s also taken many positions that would have been likelier to be held by a Democrat than a Republican a decade ago, like opposition to cutting entitlements, support for a cooperative relationship with Russia or opposition to free trade. It’s a reputation he’s careful to protect, from saying he doesn’t support Project 2025 to his cagey position on additional measures to restrict abortion," the Times reported.
The poll also found that 11% of voters believe Trump is "not conservative enough," compared to 9% of voters who reported Harris is "not liberal or progressive enough."
The poll follows one released in late July, when Biden dropped out of the race amid mounting concern over his mental acuity, which also found Trump in a 48-47 lead.
POLLSTER NATE SILVER PREDICTS TRUMP POISED TO WIN ELECTORAL COLLEGE AMID 'MEDIOCRE' HARRIS POLLING
The poll Sunday also found that 28% of voters feel like they need to know more about Harris to throw their support behind her, compared to 9% who said the same about Trump.
Harris held her first sit-down interview with the media late last month, joining CNN’s Dana Bash for a joint interview with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but has otherwise mostly avoided the media. As of Sunday, Harris has gone 49 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference.
The poll released Sunday was conducted between Sept. 3 to 6 and based on telephone surveys with 1,695 registered voters across the country.

Steelers tap Justin Fields as starting quarterback vs Falcons as Russell Wilson deals with injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers will start Justin Fields in their first game of the season against the Atlanta Falcons as the team deactivated Russell Wilson.
Wilson will go into the game as the third emergency quarterback. He was dealing with calf tightness. It was the same calf he had injured earlier in training camp that had caused him to miss some time.

Both Fields and Wilson were acquired in the offseason. It appeared that Wilson had the edge to become the starter after the Steelers signed him in free agency. The team also acquired Fields from the Chicago Bears, who were set on drafting Caleb Williams No. 1.
"His athleticism is freaky," said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, via the team’s website. "I've seen the highlights and things of that nature, but being an AFC coach, you don't always get a chance to feel it or really pay attention to it.
"To see some of the things he's capable of doing on the football field is really exciting."
DOLPHINS' TYREEK HILL DETAINED HOURS BEFORE GAME VS JAGUARS
Fields was the No. 11 overall pick of the 2021 draft. He tallied 6,674 passing yards, 40 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions in 40 games for the Bears. Chicago soured on Fields as his inconsistent play proved to be too much to be considered the long-term starter.
Wilson’s time came to an abrupt end with the Denver Broncos as well. He was removed as the starting quarterback before the end of the season and was cut when the team couldn’t find a deal for him.
Pittsburgh eked into the playoffs last season, thanks to its nasty defense. The team was 10-7 and lost in the AFC Wild Card round.

Dak Prescott, Cowboys agree to historic contract extension before kickoff: reports
Dak Prescott’s Sunday started with a win before he even sniffed the field before the Dallas Cowboys’ opening game against the Cleveland Browns.
Prescott and the Cowboys agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $240 million, according to multiple reports. The veteran quarterback will reportedly earn $60 million and become the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Prescott will receive $231 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports
Dallas announced the deal later.
"I've never played the game for that," Prescott said of massive contract extensions, via the team's website. "I've played a game for the pure love for the guys in that locker room. Yes, this game has always brought me something that not a lot of things in life do. That type of peace, it does.
"Just being out there in between the lines with people that you share a brotherhood with. Yeah, something that's just special about this game of football and we're just blessed that that money comes with it, and I'm in the position that I'm in that we can be having these conversations.
"But that doesn't motivate me."
The Prescott deal came on the heels of the Cowboys’ extension with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. The NFL world expected team owner Jerry Jones to work on a deal with Prescott afterward, but it didn’t come immediately.
Then, on Sunday, with about five hours before the start of the 2024 season. The Cowboys and Prescott reportedly got the deal done. He was set to be a free agent after this season.
A LOOK AT TOM BRADY'S JOURNEY TO THE BROADCAST BOOTH AHEAD OF HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT
Prescott took the reins for the Cowboys when Tony Romo went down with an injury before the start of the 2016 regular season. He led the team to the playoffs that year and cemented himself as the future of the franchise.
When he signed his first contract extension before the start of the 2021 season, he set a record for the highest signing bonus in NFL history. It was later surpassed by Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Prescott was runner-up for NFL MVP in 2023. He had 4,516 passing yards and led the NFL with 36 touchdown passes. It was one of the best years of his career.
And now, he’s getting rewarded.

Trump campaign slams report 'radical' Keith Ellison is on Harris' AG short list: 'natural fit'
The Trump campaign slammed reports that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign told Arab American leaders in Detroit that if she’s elected on Nov. 5, she would likely name left-wing Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison as the U.S.’ top cop.
"Keith Ellison would be a natural fit in a Kamala Harris administration. Both are radical liberals who support ending cash bail and releasing violent criminals into American neighborhoods. The good news for the American people is that it’s never going to happen, because President Trump is going to win on November 5," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced that the Harris campaign allegedly told Arab American community leaders in Detroit that Ellison is on Harris' short list of potential attorneys general. Ellison has since denied the report.
"Arab American leaders in Detroit have been told by the Kamala campaign that @keithellison is on the short list to be Attorney General if she should win," former acting director of National Intelligence under the Trump administration, Richard Grenell, posted to X on Saturday.
ABANDON BIDEN CAMPAIGN RELAUNCHES, TARGETS HARRIS IN KEY SWING STATES
The Harris campaign directed Fox Digital to a post on Ellison's X account denying the report when approached for comment.
"This is a lie designed to trigger the Muslim-haters," Ellison posted in response to Grenell's social media post.
MINN AG KEITH ELLISON COMPARES JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS TO HOUSE SLAVE CHARACTER IN BLOCKBUSTER HIT
Ellison currently serves as Minnesota’s attorney general, a left-wing Democrat who served as a U.S. congressman representing the Gopher State between 2007 and 2019. Ellison was elected as the first Muslim to Congress in U.S. history.
Ellison has long come under fire from conservatives, including last year when he compared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to the slave character in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film "Django Unchained," pinning blame for skyrocketing auto theft on car manufacturers, his handling of spiraling crime in the state during and after the 2020 George Floyd riots, and accusing the Republican Party during his DNC speech last month of thinking "they’re above the law."
MINNESOTA AG KEITH ELLISON WARNS TARGET ABOUT THEIR 'OBLIGATIONS' TO THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
"No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it. In the Republican Party, everyone thinks they’re above the law. Hell, nearly a dozen of their own lawyers are facing serious charges. Even their lawyers need lawyers," Ellison said during the DNC, when Harris officially accepted her nomination after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race amid mounting concern over his mental acuity.
Social media critics and conservatives sounded off this weekend over the report that the Harris campaign is considering Ellison as a top contender for U.S. AG.
DEM AG SLAMMED FOR COMPARING JUSTICE THOMAS TO 'DJANGO UNCHAINED' CHARACTER: 'RAGE POLITICS'
The media has speculated that Harris’ attorney general shortlist likely includes current deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco, former U.S. associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, and Obama-era deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. Conservative political commentator and journalist Julie Kelly said last month the Harris campaign could also tap Jan. 6 attorney Matthew Graves as AG, if Harris were to win. Graves serves as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and is the chief prosecutor of Trump supporters who breached the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
The report that Ellison is on Harris' AG short list comes as Harris faces backlash from both Muslim and Jewish voters over her stance on the ongoing war in Israel, which has continued since Oct. 7.
First known as the "Abandon Biden" campaign, Muslim American voters in Michigan revamped their mission last month to rally support against the Harris ticket. The Abandon Biden campaign first surfaced earlier this year in the heavily Muslim populated city of Dearborn, as voters denouced Biden for his continued support of Israel.
"This action is a direct response to Kamala Harris' support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza," the Abandon Harris campaign said in the release.
Simultaneously, former President Donald Trump is courting the Jewish vote, predicting that he could win 50% of the demographic. A poll last month found Trump leading Harris among Jewish voters in typically liberal New York.
Ellison’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional comment on Sunday.

New poll shows Trump holds lead with ‘remarkably resilient’ support
Former President Donald Trump is maintaining his lead nationally, seemingly shrugging off a burst of enthusiasm for Democrats after Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race.
Trump garnered the support of 48% of likely voters compared to 47% who indicated support for Harris, according to the latest results of the New York Times/Siena poll released on Sunday.
The results are essentially identical to the last time the New York Times/Siena poll asked voters for their preference in the aftermath of President Biden dropping out of the race in late July, with that poll also showing Trump with a 48-47 lead.
HARRIS CAMPAIGN AGREES TO ABC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE RULES WITH SOME 'ASSURANCES': REPORT
The poll comes after weeks of increased enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket after Harris took over for Biden, though the New York Times argued that it appears Trump’s support is "remarkably resilient" to the stunning changes to the election landscape.
The poll found that Harris has yet to sell voters on her vision for the country, with 28% of respondents indicating that they felt like they needed to know more about her in order for her to earn their support. In contrast, only 9% indicated similar concerns about Trump.
"I don’t know what Kamala’s plans are," said Dawn Conley, a 48-year-old small-business owner in Knoxville, Tenn., who is leaning toward Trump, told the New York Times.
TRUMP SLAMS ABC AHEAD OF PIVOTAL NETWORK-HOSTED DEBATE: 'THEY'RE THE WORST, THEY'RE THE NASTIEST'
The poll also found that while Harris has made gains with key demographics to the Democratic coalition after Biden’s decision to drop out, she is still falling short of traditional Democratic strength among groups such as women and Latino voters.
Also working against Harris is the voters' preference for change, with 60% indicating they would like to see a major change from the policies of Biden. Only 25% of respondents said Harris would represent that kind of change, while 53% believe Trump would.

But the poll’s news wasn’t all bad for Harris, who may hold the critical enthusiasm lead over Trump as November quickly approaches. The poll found that 91% of Democrats were enthusiastic about voting, while 85% of Republicans indicated the same.
The New York Times/Siena poll surveyed 1,695 registered voters between September 3 and September 6 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
Bloodthirsty Venezuelan street gang sparks fear in US amid migrant surge: What to know
Tren de Aragua, a violent street gang that has emerged from Venezuela, has been tied to a number of crimes across the country and is picking up national attention as a result, amid reports that it has taken over apartment buildings in Colorado.
The gang is believed to have originated in Venezuelan prisons and moved north over the last decade. But its reputation within the U.S. has grown this year, in part due to a number of high-profile crimes linked to the gang, with many believed to have arrived by coming across the southern border as part of the sharp increase in migration in recent years.
A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bulletin in March alerted agents to tattoos and other identifiers of the gang. Federal authorities had previously warned that the gang was trying to establish itself in the U.S, and could potentially team up with the violent MS-13 gang.
AFTER VIDEO OF ARMED VENEZUELAN GANG SHARED BY LOCAL OFFICIAL GOES VIRAL, COLORADO CITY TAKES ACTION
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital in an interview this year that the gang "has unleashed violence across Central and South America."
"Now, we’re seeing more people coming across the border illegally with ties to Tren de Aragua. Until we get the border crisis under control, more and more bad actors will take advantage of the loopholes in our immigration system," he said.
In February, New York officials linked the gang to more than 62 robberies in the city, and two suspected members of the gang were arrested in connection with a shocking assault of two NYPD officers.
The brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley has ties to the gang, and in Texas 10 migrants affiliated with the gang were arrested earlier in May.
"Keep your eye on this gang," Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens said at that time. "Their criminal activities represent a serious threat to our communities!"
FBI FEARS VENEZUELA MIGRANT GANG MEMBERS COULD POTENTIALLY TEAM UP WITH MS-13 KILLERS
The gang has established a significant presence in parts of Colorado. Fox News Digital reported in July that TdA members have been given a "green light" to fire on or attack law enforcement in Denver.
More recently, reports have emerged of the gang taking over at least two apartment buildings in Aurora, with surveillance video showing heavily armed men kicking down an apartment door. The Aurora mayor said on Fox News that there are "several buildings actually under the same ownership, out of state ownership, that have fallen to these Venezuelan gangs."
The city, however, has said there is only a "small" presence in Aurora, and that media "have conflated and considerably exaggerated incidents that are isolated to a handful of problem properties alone."
A spokesman for Aurora Police recently told The Denver Post that "it’s still too soon to quantify TdA’s presence in Aurora one way or another." In a statement, the city said the police "continue to identify criminals and make arrests" and also noted that residents have cited poor living conditions rather than a takeover in those properties.
Meanwhile, ICE confirmed to Fox News last week that four known or suspected gang members arrested by police in Aurora this week connected to a shooting in July are illegal immigrants who were caught and released at the border.

The Biden administration announced significant action against the gang in July when the Treasury designated Tren de Aragua a "significant transnational criminal organization." That move blocks all property and assets owned by the gang in the U.S.
Meanwhile, the State Department offered up to $12 million for information leading to the arrest of three of the gang’s leaders. The administration also stressed that it is working to disrupt the gang and has increased vetting.
Senior border officials told Fox News this week that the gang is a priority. But pressure is likely only to grow as former President Donald Trump highlighted the issue at a Fox News town hall this week.
"Take a look at Aurora, in Colorado, where Venezuelans are taking over the whole town. They're taking over buildings. The whole town," he said.
Kentucky police resume manhunt for gunman in I-75 shooting
A manhunt resumed in southeastern Kentucky early Sunday as law enforcement searched for the suspected gunman who authorities say opened fire near Interstate 75, injuring seven people in the shooting and a car accident.
Law enforcement agencies are combing the area along the highway on foot and with a drone after the shooting unfolded Saturday around 6 p.m. near exit 49, the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities have named Joseph A. Couch, 32, a person of interest in the shooting, and warned the public he is considered armed and dangerous.
Deputy Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, told reporters that authorities "have not determined that this is the individual that fired the weapon."
KENTUCKY POLICE IDENTIFY SUBJECT OF MANHUNT AFTER ‘NUMEROUS’ PEOPLE SHOT ON HIGHWAY
The initial search on Saturday was suspended due to darkness, though officials kept the scene "contained" overnight, the sheriff's office said.
"We do have the area contained right now. It’s a very fluid investigation. Our people are still on the scene. Our special response team is there. We are trying to find a shooter there," Acciardo said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the sheriff's office for more details about the multi-day search.
Investigators believe there was only one shooter, according to Acciardo, and they do not believe that road rage was a factor leading up to the shooting.
Police initially responded to reports that a suspect was shooting at drivers from an overpass or a wooded area, multiple media accounts have said.
London Mayor Randall Weddle previously said that no deaths have been reported.
Acciardo said five people were shot and were all in stable condition early Sunday, although some of the victims had "very serious" injuries, including one person who was shot in the face.
Two other people were hurt in the vehicle accident, he said.
Weddle noted in an address to the public on social media that the search area includes "some rugged terrain and a lot of treeline."
"I'm not asking anybody to panic, there is no immediate danger here in the city, but again… we are asking everybody to be safe," the mayor said, adding that residents should be "vigilant" as police search for Couch.
Couch is described as a White man about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing around 154 pounds.
London, around 80 miles south of Lexington, Kentucky, has a population of about 7,600.
