The daughter of Garth Brooks is under fire following her recent Instagram post, which many have deemed ‘odd’ and ‘selfish’ in light of Dolly Parton’s passing at the age of 80 on Tuesday.

Allie Colleen, who is 30 years old, used Instagram to pay tribute to the legendary singer. However, her message left many followers puzzled by its content.

A musician in her own right, Colleen posted a text entry revealing that her ‘greatest fear in life’ is facing the day her father, Garth Brooks, passes away.

She expressed her concern by stating, ‘And I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him,’ sharing this sentiment with her followers.

Allie Colleen is the daughter of Brooks and his former wife, Sandy Mahl, with whom he was married from 1986 until their separation in 2001.

‘To the personal family and friends of Mrs Dolly, you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward,’ she added.

‘What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grieve. Thank you for sharing her with us all.’

Parton enjoyed an illustrious music career that spanned an incredible seven decades and was arguably best known for her hits Jolene and 9 to 5.

Colleen’s text post called the music icon’s life a ‘huge, beautiful, special’ one to have loved and grieved before thanking Parton’s loved ones for sharing her with the world.

A further note in the caption of her post went on to say ‘what a beautiful privilege it is to mourn.’

She added: ‘To grieve is to know you loved deeply and fully. To the woman we all love, and all those who grieve for her— I love you all.’

Colleen left fans with a final note in her original message: ‘Please respect the family and her personal friends

But the social media statement seemingly rubbed some viewers the wrong way.

Instagram users suggested that the focus should have remained on Parton alone.

‘That is a really odd comment. This is about Dolly, not how you will feel when the time comes,’ one user wrote.

Another commented: ‘Your greatest fear in life? Lucky lady!… There is an art to expressing oneself eloquently which some people don’t possess. Yes, it seems odd, but let’s be kind anyway – like Dolly would have been.’

A third chimed in: ‘Gross. Regardless of a person’s public personality, a family is mourning the loss of their person. Don’t make it about you. Dolly deserves a memorial post about her, not about you.’

Some commenters explained that they understood what Colleen was trying to say but criticized the timing of her post.

Colleen was called out by others for having a nepo-baby outlook.

She is the youngest of Brooks’s three daughters with Mahl and has older siblings Taylor and August. The Friends in Low Places crooner is now married to Trisha Yearwood.

‘How selfish … shame on her. Karma will win. And may Miss Dolly rest in peace, sweet angel ❤️,’ one commenter wrote.

Another quipped: ‘Well you definitely got your narcissistic attitude from your daddy.’

But the drama didn’t stop there; Colleen clapped back, responding to several critics, including one who suggested that Brooks fans ‘will understand your pain’ should her father die before her.

‘I don’t think you will… I would never relate to you losing your father – I don’t know how you would relate to mine. Kind of exactly what I am talking about,’ Colleen wrote.

Commenters also noted that the post insinuated that the love in her relationship with Brooks was somehow stronger than any other father-child bond.

She responded to another post explaining: ‘I would never act like I understand how much you grieve anyone – that’s all I am saying.’

Colleen, who released her own album, Stones, in 2021, explained more in her response to another Instagram user: ‘This is my account – I am saying I don’t know how to respond to these things in my industry because of my life experiences.

‘I’m not telling anyone else how to grieve. I’m just acknowledging the family. You do you, babe.’

Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State defensive coordinator who was disgraced by his conviction as a child molester, is expected to appear in court next month, more than a year after an accuser withdrew his allegations, as detailed in court records.

At 82, Sandusky is serving a 30 to 60-year prison sentence following his 2012 conviction on 45 counts of child sex abuse. Over the years, his numerous attempts to secure post-conviction relief have been consistently rejected.

In September 2025, he filed a new petition, initially dismissed by a Pennsylvania judge due to a procedural error. However, that ruling was overturned, leading to an evidentiary hearing, especially after a witness identified as R.R. recanted his previous testimony.

In their revised petition, Sandusky’s attorneys claimed, “Affidavits from R.R. (alleged Victim 10) and the mother of alleged Victim 9 show that the Commonwealth may have employed dubious strategies to sway witness testimonies.”

They placed R.R.’s recantation within their broader allegation that authorities influenced Sandusky’s accusers with therapy and suggestive interviewing, as well as undisclosed changes in witness accounts, according to court filings.

“[T]hroughout the pretrial process, I was told — both directly and indirectly — that trauma may have fragmented my memory, and that I could safely affirm details I did not fully recall,” R.R. is quoted as saying in an exhibit attached to Sandusky’s petition. “I was assured this was common and even expected.”

Sandusky’s lawyers allege that R.R. “was coached extensively and asked to revisit and reframe his allegations.”

R.R.’s estranged wife, identified in the filings as Jasmine Rittmeyer, provided an affidavit and could testify, according to Sandusky’s amended petition.

Lawyers for the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office have described her as R.R.’s “soon-to-be” ex-wife.

“The opinion of R.R.’ s estranged spouse thirteen years after defendant’s trial, pondering what she thinks may or may not have really happened to R.R. when he was 10 years old, or any other Sandusky child victim for that matter, is irrelevant and inadmissible,” Deputy AGs Cari Mahler and Jaime Keating wrote.

The Commonwealth wrote in court filings that Rittmeyer’s affidavit alleges Sandusky investigator Frank Parlato contacted R.R. and “suggested that it would be beneficial for [him] to recant his testimony” before the recantation.

They are asking the judge not to allow Rittmeyer to testify about her opinion regarding Sandusky’s guilt or innocence or whether she believes R.R. told the truth at trial.

They also want the focus of the hearing to be on R.R.’s recantation and not the entire case against Sandusky.

Sandusky’s lawyers had raised several other claims in the original petition, including that he was denied due process and is entitled to a new trial over allegations that prosecutors influenced the testimony of a different witness and later profited from his allegations.

Sandusky has maintained his innocence after more than a decade behind bars.

He’s due in a Bellefonte courthouse on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 9:30 a.m. for the evidentiary hearing.

A workout video featuring fitness trainer Nunzi has taken social media by storm, quickly amassing over 51 million views as users express their astonishment at his chiseled physique. This mesmerizing clip has ignited conversations across platforms, highlighting the power of a well-crafted fitness routine.

In the video, Nunzi, who is renowned as a certified ISSA master trainer, sports nutritionist, and high-performance coach, as well as a veteran bodybuilding competitor, introduces a challenging lower-body workout that viewers can do at home. The routine includes 50 wide sumo squats, 40 squats in a ballerina stance, 30 lunges for each leg, 20 single-leg Romanian deadlifts, and 10 explosive glute clenches.

While the grueling bodyweight workout has caught attention, it is Nunzi’s exceptional lower body musculature, particularly his well-defined glutes, that has left the online community in awe and buzzing with commentary.

Social Media Reactions

Viewers across the internet have been taken aback by the impressive glute development demonstrated by Nunzi, sparking a wave of comments as people candidly share their surprise and admiration.

“You got space in your living room for that?” one TikTok user asked.

“Bros got better cheeks than me,” another person commented.

“I just opened this app; now I’m closing it,” a third person pointed out.

“I’m very uncomfortable,” another person exclaimed.

“I will forever envy men who have a bigger butt than me,” someone chimed in.

“What land of TikTok did I land in?” another person asked.

While someone called the video “disgusting”, and compared his glutes to “cantaloupes”, many people were eager to learn from him, seeing that the workout had obvious results.

“Y’all laughing, but I’m obviously taking his advice. There’s the proof to prove it,” one person claimed.

“I’m going to be squatting like this as soon as I get off work,” a second person expressed.

“Laughing and taking notes,” a third echoed.

“I’m doing whatever you say,” another person shared.

Experts weigh in

While the daily body weight routine serves as a great workout for beginners, fitness industry experts warn against expecting massive transformation from body weight alone.

Dani Carr, Anytime Fitness multi-site franchisee and personal trainer, weighed in on the viral trend.

“What he’s doing is certainly better than doing nothing — and these exercises can help activate and strengthen the glutes,” Carr told news.com.au.

“If you look at his other content, he also trains with heavy cables and weights, which is far more likely to have contributed to the results we’re seeing.”

Carr emphasised that building significant muscle requires progressive overload.

“That means gradually increasing the challenge placed on the muscles, usually through heavier weights or greater resistance,” he said.

“Your body adapts to the same stimulus over time, so after several weeks, repeating the same body weight exercises will become less effective unless you continue to increase the difficulty.”

Why the video went viral

Carr revealed the reason why the video went “viral”, as he claims it “flips a stereotype on its head”.

“For years, glute workouts were marketed almost entirely to women, so seeing a guy focus on lower-body training is an instant scroll-stopper,” Carr shared.

“I think it’s driven more by the sheer novelty factor than by being deeply educational content.”

He went on to say that it is becoming more normal for men to work out and train their glutes, because it is “essential for power, performance and avoiding back pain.”

“By making it look simple and accessible, he’s hit a sweet spot — appealing to women who want new exercises, and giving men the green light to train their lower body properly,” Carr said.

He recommends that everyone try the exercises Nunzi demonstrates, but warns not to expect “one viral routine to deliver the same result”.

News.com.au has reached out to Nunzi for comment.

Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-wing influencer known for his stint as Kanye West’s chief of staff and current role as his publicist, has reportedly been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to sources, the British provocateur was apprehended at a Louisiana airport. Inmate records confirm his present location at a detention center in the area, as detailed by TMZ.

Details regarding his travel motives to Louisiana remain unclear, although it coincides with Kanye West’s scheduled performance at the Superdome in New Orleans this Friday.

Yiannopoulos, who gained notoriety as a political commentator, has consistently championed the causes of immigration restriction and mass deportation.

In 2017, Yiannopoulos stated he was residing in the United States on an O-1 nonimmigrant visa, designated for individuals with ‘extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics,’ according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policy manual.

The Daily Mail has contacted Yiannopoulos and ICE for comment. 

O-1 visas, which require sponsorship by an ‘agent’ or employer, can also be given to individuals of ‘extraordinary achievement’ in movies and TV.

Yiannopoulos enjoys a longstanding association with West and acted as director of political operations on his 2024 US presidential campaign.

In 2022, during his time as West’s political honcho, he helped arrange the rapper’s explosively controversial Mar-a-Lago summit with Donald Trump and the self-described ‘white identitarian’ streaming star Nick Fuentes.

Yiannopoulous has since dramatically fallen out with Fuentes, whom he now relentlessly derides on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In 2017, he exchanged vows in Hawaii with a black man whom he publicly referred to only as ‘John,’ otherwise carefully concealing his identity.

As such, it remains unconfirmed whether Yiannopoulos became eligible to obtain American citizenship or a green card via marriage to a US national.

Yiannopoulos has characterized himself as ‘ex-gay’ since 2021, and has commenced divorce proceedings with his husband.

His reported ICE woes come after his client, West, was banned from Yiannopoulos’ native Britain over the antisemitic diatribes that torpedoed his career, including praise for Hitler and a vow to go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.’

West took out a full-page ad apologizing for the comments in the Wall Street Journal this January, three months before he was prohibited from entering the UK.

He was scheduled to a headline a music festival at Finsbury Park in London that was called off altogether after his appearance became impossible.

West has also seen planned concerts canceled in Poland and France this year as a result of the continuing backlash to his past tirades about Jews.

He was set to perform at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg in October, which would have made him the highest-profile western artist to play Russia since the outbreak of the Ukraine War, but those shows were also scrapped amid blowback.

However he has been able to mount concerts in America, as well as in Mexico, Turkey and such post-Soviet countries as Georgia and Kazakhstan.

In his Wall Street Journal ad, West blamed his antisemitic remarks on his infamous 2002 car crash, which he claimed left him with brain damage that went ‘unnoticed’ and led to the development of his subsequently diagnosed bipolar disorder.

Authorities confirmed that at least 14 infants perished in the ferocious blaze that engulfed the nursery early Wednesday morning. Despite these grim circumstances, a glimmer of hope emerged as hospital officials revealed that one baby was heroically rescued from the inferno.

The fire erupted at approximately 6:45 a.m., confined to the nursery area following the explosion of an air conditioning compressor, according to statements from hospital and rescue personnel. Fortunately, swift action ensured that the inferno did not spread to other hospital wards, containing the damage to the gynecology section.

Dr. Aneeza Jalil, the hospital’s spokesperson, disclosed that the precious life of one infant was saved by a courageous doctor amid the chaos. She further noted that six of the tiny victims’ bodies have been returned to heartbroken families while efforts continue to reunite the remaining families with their lost loved ones.

Video showed grieving families distraught with sorrow as investigators examined blasted out windows and authorities worked to secure the scene.

“I don’t know what to say or whom to blame,” a woman The Associated Press (AP) identified as Mrs. Mohammad Sami said.

“I have lost my child,” she told the outlet, just three days after she reportedly gave birth.

The incident prompted Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to remove Health Secretary Aslam Ghauri, the country’s highest civil servant, from office.

Sharif ordered an immediate investigation.

“A tragedy involving children is an irreparable loss,” he said.

Shortly after the incident, Sharif convened a high-level meeting in which he expressed anger at officials for the incident and removed Ghauri.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari also weighed in, offering condolences to the families and saying the deaths amounted to a “heartbreaking and an irreparable loss.”

A recent photograph from the moon’s terrain has generated a buzz with whispers about potential alien life.

Captured by NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 3 back in 1967, the image was taken during preparations for humanity’s inaugural journey to the moon.

Fast forward nearly sixty years, and UFO enthusiast Scott Waring suggests the photo may depict something far beyond the iconic lunar surface.

Waring contends that a peculiar elongated shape visible in the image represents an alien spaceship, poised above the surface at a staggering length of 3.4 miles.

To arrive at this calculation, Waring compared the object’s size against Theophilus crater—known to be 68 miles wide—surmising the alleged spacecraft to be roughly one-twentieth its length.

For him, the photograph carries a chilling implication: that humanity was being watched before astronauts ever set foot on the moon.

‘This is 100% proof that aliens were watching humans before we ever stepped on the moon,’ he wrote on his website UFO Sightings Daily.

He even suggested that the enormous vessel would be considered a ‘small shuttle craft’ by its supposed occupants.

However, Waring provides no independent evidence that the feature is a spacecraft, and neither its claimed size nor its alleged extraterrestrial origin has been established.

NASA has also maintained that it has no evidence of extraterrestrial life and has yet to find any signs of current or past life on Mars.

Waring, however, is sure that the mysterious object in the photo is an alien craft.

‘There is a long spacecraft hovering over the moon’s surface in a NASA photo from 1967,’ he wrote in his blog. 

‘I took the measurement of the crater in the photo called Theophilus crater, which is 110km or 68 miles across by 4.4km or 2.7 miles deep, and can conclude that this UFO is 1/20 the length of the crater…equals 5.5km or 3.4 miles long UFO. 

‘That’s huge to us humans, but to aliens, it’s considered a small shuttle craft.’

While the American space agency has dismissed aliens visiting the moon, the Trump Administration’s UFO files have revealed unexplainable phenomena during the Apollo moon missions.

On May 8, the US Department of War released hundreds of pages of documents, pictures and audio recordings allegedly providing evidence of extraterrestrial sightings dating back to the 1940s. 

Included in what has been described as the first batch of UFO files expected to come from the Pentagon this year were the transcripts of the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 moon missions.

Those files and a collection of images taken by the astronauts on the moon revealed multiple encounters with strange objects that appear to fly around their lunar landers.

During the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, astronauts Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt and Ron Evans reported seeing a bright object that rotated and flashed rhythmically out in space.

Cernan said: ‘I’m looking at what – what Jack was talking about; and it’s definitely not a particle that’s nearby because there is another one I can look at and get a three-dimensional comparison with.’

‘It is a bright object, and it’s obviously rotating because it’s flashing. It’s way out in the distance, as I say, because there are particles that are close by and it’s obviously not one of those,’ the astronaut described.

‘It’s apparently rotating in a very rhythmic fashion because the flashes come around almost – almost on time. And as we look back at the Earth, it’s up at about 11:00 about – oh, maybe 10 or 12 Earth diameters. I don’t know whether that does you any good, but there is something out there.’

During the lunar landing, which was the last time humans stepped on the moon’s surface, the crew of Apollo 17 also reported seeing multiple small objects moving near the spacecraft during their flight.

‘Now we’ve got a few very bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we maneuver,’ Evans told the command center on Earth.

‘Roger. Understand,’ the center replied. ‘There’s a whole [bunch] of big ones on my window down there – just bright. It looks like the Fourth of July out of Ron’s window,’ Schmitt added.

Evans reported: ‘Yes. Now you can see some of them in shape. They’re very jagged, angular fragments that are tumbling.’

The astronauts revealed that right after they fired their thrusters to change direction, the crew began to see the bright particles and jagged, angular fragments drifting past the windows.

Jack says it looks like the ‘Fourth of July’ out Evans’ window, with big bright pieces tumbling slowly around the capsule.

The astronauts were also recorded describing the strange objects as pieces of something solid, not fluid, very bright, and mostly moving with the spacecraft but with occasional faster ones zipping by. Evans reported taking pictures of them.

Three years earlier, the Apollo 12 moon mission also reported strange sightings as they neared the lunar surface.

The Trump administration’s third batch of UFO files, released on June 12, included recorded NASA briefings after Apollo 16, which referred to an ‘alien starbase’ on the dark side of the moon. 

The comments were not included in the official transcript from the 1972 mission.

Apollo 16 flew from April 16 to April 27, 1972, and saw astronauts John Young and Charles Duke become the first humans to explore the moon’s rugged highlands while Thomas ‘Ken’ Mattingly remained in lunar orbit.

Buried within the 55-minute discussion is a brief exchange about unusual gravity readings, laser measurements and unexplained anomalies detected on the moon’s far side.

The speakers focus on what one participant describes as a ‘great big hole’ near the Van de Graaff crater, a distinctive lunar formation known for unusual magnetic and geochemical characteristics.

‘On the backside of the moon around Fendi graph, that’s where we get our big hole,’ one speaker says.

The discussion then takes an unexpected turn.

‘It could be an alien star base or something. Anyway, the next slide shows the front side of the moon.’

The remark appears amid a broader technical discussion of lunar data and anomalies, although the context of the comment remains unclear from the audio alone.

In a recent legal skirmish, Donald Trump faced another setback as a federal judge dismissed his attempt to overturn a hush money conviction. Efforts to transfer the state court case to the federal judiciary on the grounds of presidential immunity fell flat, with the judge staunchly upholding the original ruling.

Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein reaffirmed his prior decision, dismissing Trump’s renewed appeal by indicating that the arguments presented lacked any novel or legally credible foundation.

In his statement, Hellerstein remarked, “There has been a clear lack of compelling cause and due diligence on his part.”

This marks the third instance where Judge Hellerstein has thwarted Trump’s efforts to transfer the proceedings from New York to a U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

The May 2024 trial culminated in Trump’s conviction, an unprecedented outcome making him the sole former—and now once again active—U.S. president to be criminally convicted. Meanwhile, Trump continues to pursue an appeal through the state court system, with that process currently underway.

Hellerstein’s decision came after a federal appeals court last year ordered him to reconsider his prior denial. The
