Conan O'Brien joked about having the same decorating style as President Donald Trump during a silly moment on his latest podcast.
While riffing about his beloved golden retriever on Monday's episode of "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," the comic said he deals with his dog's shedding habit by buying exclusively gold clothes.
Spotting an opportunity to roast the president and his famous fondness for shiny things, O'Brien said he'd even given his home the Midas touch with a metallic paint job and "all gold rugs."

King Charles reportedly takes unusual control over his daily meals. His former head chef, Visen Anenden, says the monarch stays closely involved and pays attention to where his ingredients come from. Anenden, who served as Charles' head chef for nearly a decade, told Marie Claire that the King has a genuine passion for food and takes a keen interest in what he eats.
According to Anenden, as reported by The Royal Observer, Charles prefers seasonal ingredients and often sources produce directly from royal estates. "He's very seasonal, and everything comes from the estate," Anenden explained. "He always wants to know where something has come from, so menus were very particular."
The chef said the menus could also change depending on where the royal family stayed. Meals at Balmoral, for example, could look very different from those served at Highgrove. When the family stayed at Balmoral, Anenden said the kitchen relied heavily on what the estate's garden could provide.
"It would be only what you could source from the garden," he explained. That approach gave Anenden and his team a practical lesson in farm-to-table cooking. "You really learn how the farm-to-fork aspect works, and it's a phenomenal lesson for a chef!" he said.
Anenden also revealed how much food Charles and Queen Camilla eat. The former chef said they watch their diets closely and usually avoid large portions. "The thing with the royals is that they don't eat a lot," he said. "It was always small portions. It's never substantial, loaded plates at all, never," he added.

Chrissy Metz has opened up about using drugs on her weight-loss journey.
The actor and singer, who is best known for playing Kate Pearson in the TV drama This Is Us from 2016 to 2022, has signed up as a celebrity brand ambassador for telehealth GLP-1 weight loss programme Ro.
The Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee shared with People magazine that after years of trying diets that didn't work, "I just wanted to take care of myself."
"I'm not getting any younger," she told the outlet. "I'm in perimenopause, and there were obesity issues within my family and with my father, and I felt like I've tried so many modalities, whether it was diets or therapy, and none of it really worked for me."
The Hunting Wives star admits she was sceptical about weight-loss drugs for years, **** uming they wouldn't work for her or would give her horrible side effects, but so far, she's been having a positive experience.
"It's so nice not to be obsessing about what I'm going to have every minute, even as I'm still consuming the meal. I just vilified food for so long because I was taught that it was bad, and you shouldn't eat this or that. And it's been helping me be more mobile and have less joint pain and inflammation, and run around onstage."

Chrissy Metz is opening up about her decision to start taking a GLP-1.
In a new interview with People, the This Is Us alum, 45, said that after years of trying different diets and fitness routines that didn't work, she opted for weight loss medication.
"I just wanted to take care of myself," Metz said.
"I'm not getting any younger. I'm in perimenopause, and there were obesity issues within my family and with my father, and I felt like I've tried so many modalities, whether it was diets or therapy, and none of it really worked for me," she continued.
Metz was skeptical at first, however, about starting a GLP-1, which, per the Cleveland Clinic, are "medications that help lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss." In addition to being worried that the popular weight loss drugs wouldn't work for her, Metz was scared she would experience some of the horrible side effects often **** ociated with taking the medication, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, per Harvard Health.

As Norway excels in its first World Cup appearance since 1998, a wave of false claims about the team's eating habits is also capturing online attention. These allegations specifically target the quality of American food, suggesting the Norwegians distrust it to such an extent that they brought provisions from home to avoid local fare.
The Norwegian team is currently based in Greensboro, North Carolina, throughout the 2026 tournament, which the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. While it is true the team shipped certain products from Norway for the World Cup, the underlying reason has absolutely nothing to do with concerns about food quality.
CLAIM: The Norwegian men's national soccer team brought its own food to the 2026 World Cup because it doesn't trust the quality of food in the U.S.
THE FACTS: This is false. The team brought some products from Norway to maintain consistency in players' diets and provide a taste of home, according to its head chef Aron Espeland. Other ingredients have been sourced locally. Nutrition experts say that such a practice is common among elite athletes who play internationally.
“When athletes are competing at the highest level, consistency is important,” Espeland said. “The players are used to certain products and flavors, and familiar foods can contribute both to nutrition and overall well-being during a demanding competition.”

Trisha Paytas is the latest celebrity getting candid about how she achieved her fitness goals with the help of a GLP-1. In a new interview, the internet personality and viral podcast host said that she's lost more than 20 pounds with the help of the popular medication after struggling with her diet following the birth of her three children.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Paytas revealed that she's been using a GLP-1 medication to help her shed pounds and achieve her fitness goals after months of trying to lose weight on her own. During the interview, the YouTuber said that her diet has always been a big struggle for her, considering she "grew up on fast food and processed foods."
"I've just always eaten out and always overate. Like I've never felt full in my life," Paytas said, adding that she's been open with her followers about her fitness journey for years. "After I eat one meal, I already think of the next," she stated.
After gaining 80 pounds following the birth of her three children, Paytas said she decided to take her health seriously; however, it wasn't working out as she had planned. "I've always tried to do it the natural way," she said, adding that she was "starving" herself and working hard in the gym.
"And I've tried everything else in my life, like all the fad diets, so I was like, okay, I should just try a GLP-1 if it's working for so many people," she said.

Greenpeace and its activists allies have blocked for more than two decades the adoption of Golden Rice, which is genetically enhanced to produce the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene. The result, according to new calculations by DC Abundance founder and research director at the Golden Gate Institute for AI Abi Olvera, is that "delay has killed about 106,000 children and left another 210,000 to 425,000 blind."
Her conservative calculations of the deaths and disabilities caused by Greenpeace's scientifically ridiculous opposition to Golden Rice are focused on 11 countries in which the consumption of rice makes up a significant proportion of their people's diets.
As Olvera reports, the World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that "250 000–500 000 children who are vitamin A-deficient become blind every year, and half of them die within 12 months of losing their sight." Vitamin A deficiency contributes to increased morbidity and mortality from common childhood infections. As the WHO notes, "Even mild, subclinical deficiency can be a problem, because it may increase children's risk for respiratory and diarrhoeal infections, decrease growth rates, slow bone development and decrease the likelihood of survival from serious illness." And it is the world's leading preventable cause of childhood blindness.
I have been debunking Greenpeace's unscientific opposition to Golden Rice since 2000 when the activist group claimed: "Greenpeace opposes golden rice because it has all the risks of any [genetically modified] crop." In my 2013 article, "Scientists Call Out Greenpeace for Killing and Blinding Kids," I hailed the blistering editorial in Science that ***** erted, "If ever there was a clear-cut cause for outrage, it is the concerted campaign by Greenpeace and other nongovernmental organizations, as well as by individuals, against Golden Rice."
In 2016, I reported the open letter by 100 ***** el Prize laureates calling on "Greenpeace to cease and desist in its campaign against Golden Rice specifically, and crops and foods improved through biotechnology in general." The laureates suggested that Greenpeace was committing a "crime against humanity." And as recently as 2024, I warned that Greenpeace's crusade against Golden Rice will continue to blind and kill children when reporting that the anti-technology activist group had persuaded a Philippine court to block local farmers from planting the grain.

James Dolan made a wild sacrifice request to New York Knicks players before their 2026 NBA championship run.
The Knicks owner delivered the message in an April 3 speech that was later released on the Roommates Show podcast, hosted by Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.
Dolan urged the roster to leave nothing on the table as New York prepared for a playoff run that ended with the franchise’s first **** le since 1973.
Dolan told the Knicks that winning the championship would change how they were remembered for the rest of their lives. He also urged players to focus on their diets, sleep and overall discipline during the postseason.
The most unusual part of the speech came when Dolan jokingly suggested another sacrifice for the 10-week playoff run.

Ancient teeth reveal clues to the environment humans’ early ancestors evolved in millions of years ago
Teeth are like tiny biological time capsules. They tell stories about ancient diets and environments long after their owners have died and landscapes have changed.
After bones break down, tooth enamel stays hard and unchanged, even in fossilized teeth that have been buried under sediment and rock for millions of years and are now being uncovered by erosion or excavation.
Tooth enamel forms when an animal is young, and it remains chemically stable for the rest of that animal’s life. The f
