Ariana Grande called out Donald Trump voters and the current administration, prompting a response from the White House.

The actress and pop star, 32, reshared a pointed post on her Instagram Story that checked in with Trump voters, asking if their lives have "gotten better," if their groceries have "gotten cheaper," if their health insurance premiums have "gone down," if their work/life balance "has improved," and if they were any happier in the days since Trump re-took office.

The post condemned the administration's ICE raids across the U.S. and transphobic rhetoric, as well as the current state of free speech in the wake of the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show.**

White House spokesperson Kush Desai pushed back on behalf of the administration with the following statement riddled with the pop star's song lyrics: "Save your tears, Ariana. Because President Trump's actions ended Joe Biden's inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments."**

Grande notably supported Democratic nominee Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election in her native Florida, encouraging her followers on social media to get to the polls early last year. The "eternal sunshine" singer has also counted the White House as one of her stages, having performed for former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the 2014 *In Performance at the White House: Women of Soul* event.

The Grammy winner is set to embark on her Eternal Sunshine Tour in promotion of her seventh studio album of the same name in 2026, marking her first tour in seven years. Grande is also gearing up for the theatrical release of *Wicked: For Good*, the second half of Jon M. Chu's *Wizard of Oz prequel *in which the singer stars as Glinda, on Nov. 21. She's also set to star in the forthcoming *Meet the Parents 4.*

Kelly Clarkson tried to fight back tears on the season 7 premiere of her talk show as she interviewed a group of courageous bus drivers who traversed dangerous roadways to rescue children during this summer's deadly Texas flash floods.**

The "Stronger" singer and Texas native, 43, wiped tears from her eyes as she spoke with Kerrville school district superintendent Dr. Brent Ringo about the impact that the July 4 flooding — which killed at least 135 people and left more still missing — had on their community and its summer camps including Camp Mystic.**

"We activated our emergency operations plan in Kerrville ISD, and [sent] the text message out, 'Anyone that can drive a bus?'" Ringo recalled on Monday's *The Kelly Clarkson Show*. "A bus driver, a coach, high school principal, our middle school assistant principal, assistant superintendents — within 10, 15 minutes [we] had a response that they were on the way."

Clarkson then welcomed some of the drivers to the stage, including a teacher named Amanda who shared why she chose to answer the call for help on July 4.**

"I think all day people just wanted to help and we wanted to stay out of the way of our first responders and we were just waiting," she said. "And so when we got that call, everybody just hopped in, like, we just [said], 'Give me the keys!' It was just a normal day and we're just gonna go pick up kids."**

Amanda became visibly emotional as she detailed her experience picking up children from Camp Mystic, which saw 27 girls and counselors killed in the flood. "We took them to the reunification process — basically triage, they're make sure everybody was okay," she said. "And they really had to take pictures to see what kids we had, because parents obviously were just in complete shock, they didn't know what kids we had." **** She continued, "It was awesome to see all the parents reunited with their kids. The hardest part was when the last kid got off your bus and the parents just asked, 'Was that it?' So it's hard."

Clarkson, who has two children with her late ex Brandon Blackstock, could be seen wiping her eyes with a tissue as Amanda recalled the situation. "And looking at the parents, I can't…" she began, seemingly unable to find the words. Amanda simply responded, "Yeah, it's awful."

The premiere was Clarkson's first episode since going on hiatus after Blackstock died on Aug. 7. The *American Idol *winner also pulled out of an Aug. 17 benefit concert for those affected by the Texas floods due to his death.

The three-time Grammy winner continued to weep on Monday's show as Geri, another Kerrville driver, explained that the kids on her bus chose to comfort one another by singing Christian songs.

"Driving in the devastation, it was catastrophic out there, the devastation, but they comforted each other," Geri said, with Clarkson echoing that it was a "therapeutic way to stay calm" amid the destruction.

After the commercial break, Clarkson explained that the bus drivers were responsible for rescuing a total of "900 children" who were stranded due to the floods over the subsequent days. She then paused to give them a round of applause.

"Our drivers are more than just drivers, they're heroes," Ringo said. "And I know if I love on them, they're gonna love on our kids, and they did that that day and it just makes me so proud to see the support and them stepping up in a moments notice, not even knowing what they're getting themselves into and helping 900 campers out."

He added, "It's gonna be a longterm recovery as we go through this, and so this year, we're able to make sure all 5,000 kids received backpacks and school supplies. We wanted to take that burden off our parents as much as we could and the outpouring of support coming in helped take care of that." **

Now, they're focused on taking care of the families and their emotional needs moving forward. "Everybody knows somebody that has lost someone, and so we have counselors in our buildings, outside of our buildings, we want to make sure our families are taken care of on their time," Ringo said. "And so it's going to be a longterm recovery process to make sure everyone's taken care of."

Clarkson then introduced Lacey, the public affairs manager of Texas supermarket chain H-E-B, who announced that the company would be continuing its ongoing relief efforts by donating $50,000 to support the Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas to help those affected and an additional $50,000 to the Kerrville Public School Foundation. **

Clarkson went on to praise the drivers as "heroes," adding, "In moments like this, the least we can do is say thank you and we support you and that is what it's all about. So thank you for everything that you've done for our kids on the daily."**

Jillian Lauren, the best-selling true-crime author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, will avoid jail time after being arrested in connection with a bizarre standoff with Los Angeles police in April.

On Thursday, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Susan J. DeWitt granted Lauren, 52, a mental health diversion that was petitioned by the defense, a spokesperson from the L.A. County District Attorney's Office confirmed to **.

Lauren "was ordered to have quarterly progress reports for the next two years," the spokesperson added. "Any violation reported to the court may result in potential termination of the diversion. If she successfully completes the conditions of the diversion, the case will be dismissed by the court."

Under the terms of the agreement, Lauren must avoid the use of drugs and alcohol, attend therapy, and not own firearms.**

EW has reached out to representatives for Lauren for comment.

The development comes five months after Lauren's convoluted incident with the LAPD, which began when three suspects in a misdemeanor hit-and-run allegedly fled the scene of a traffic accident on the 134 Freeway and escaped into a residential area in the neighborhood of Eagle Rock. Lauren was later determined to have no connection to the hit-and-run.

At the time, police said that they established a perimeter on Waldo Place after one of the suspects was allegedly spotted there, and that a nearby homeowner, later identified as Lauren, walked out of her house with a handgun.

According to a press release issued by the LAPD after the incident, Lauren "was struck by gunfire" in "an Officer-Involved Shooting" and retreated into her home before returning outside, where she was taken into custody.**

The author was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer, a charge that can carry a lengthy prison sentence. Prosecutors eventually charged Lauren with assault and negligent discharge of a firearm.

Lauren has written two *New York Times* best-selling memoirs: 2010's *Everything You Ever Wanted* and 2015's *Some Girls: My Life in a Harem*, the latter of which chronicled her time as a concubine of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei.

In 2021, Lauren appeared in the Starz docuseries *Confronting a Serial Killer*, which centers on the serial killer Samuel Little. She also wrote a 2023 book about Little, *Behold the Monster: Facing America's Most Prolific Serial Killer*.

Lauren and Shriner have been married for 20 years.

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández belted two home runs apiece. Blake Snell didn't allow a run until the seventh inning. The Los Angeles Dodgers were well on their way to the sort of dominant victory that would reaffirm their status as the favorites to emerge as World Series champs for a second straight year.

Then manager Dave Roberts had to go to his ineffective, oft-maligned bullpen.

Relievers Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez and Jack Dreyer turned a seemingly insurmountable, eight-run lead into a dicey one over the course of a confidence-sapping, 59-pitch top of the eighth inning. Boos rained down from the Dodger Stadium crowd after Dreyer walked in a run, the Reds' third of the frame, to allow Cincinnati to send the tying run to the on-deck circle.

Dreyer recovered enough to help the Dodgers secure a 10-5 victory Tuesday — but only with some help from the Reds. With the bases loaded and one out, catcher Tyler Stephenson chased multiple pitches out of the strike zone before striking out on a 3-2 slider. Then Cincinnati manager Terry Francona allowed weak-hitting third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to bat, and Dreyer induced a pop-up to end the inning.

In the end, the Dodgers won the opening game of their three-game wild-card series against the Reds, but they did nothing to quell concerns that their bullpen could be their undoing. They desperately need to find arms they can trust in high-leverage spots deeper in the playoffs, when games are tighter and opponents are stronger than 83-win Cincinnati.

With Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen floundering late in the season, Vesia had emerged as one of the Dodgers' few trustworthy late-inning options, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted postgame that the left-hander "wasn't sharp tonight." Nor was Henriquez, who, Roberts said, "didn't have any command."

While Dreyer eventually did his job and stopped Cincinnati's momentum, it galled Roberts that none of his relievers was aggressive when pitching with a huge lead. Vesia, Henriquez and Dreyer each walked at least one Reds hitter and fell behind in the count against others.

"When you start being too fine and getting behind, you start giving them free bases," Roberts said. "That's how you can build big innings and give them momentum. That's what I saw in that inning.

"If we don't feel comfortable using certain guys with an eight-run lead, we've got to think through some things."

[Get more Los Angeles news: Dodgers team feed]

The one bit of good news amid the Dodgers' bullpen struggles came from Blake Treinen. After logging a 9.64 ERA in the month of September, he pitched a scoreless ninth inning, striking out two and allowing just one hit.

Going forward, one option the Dodgers are sure to deploy in these playoffs is utilizing their rotation depth in relief. Starters Emmet Sheehan, Tyler Glasnow and a rejuvenated Roki Sasaki could all pitch out of the bullpen against the Reds. And if the Dodgers advance, Clayton Kershaw could also be an option against Philadelphia in the division series.

Otherwise, the Dodgers will have to hope that their star-studded lineup can carry them and cover for the bullpen like it did Tuesday. And that their vaunted starting pitchers can go deep into games, the way Snell did in Game 1.

Ohtani set the tone before much of a late-arriving Dodgers crowd had finished fighting through Los Angeles traffic. One of baseball's most prolific sluggers opened the bottom of the first inning with a laser, turning on a 100-mph inside fastball from Reds fireballer Hunter Greene and rocketing a screaming line drive into the right-field bleachers.

In the sixth inning, with chants of M-V-P raining down from the upper deck, Ohtani struck again. His 454-foot moon shot off Cincinnati reliever Connor Phillips extended the Dodgers' lead to 8-0 and had Roberts raving after the game about the two-way superstar's ability to raise his level even higher on the postseason stage.

"His focus gets more keen, and the at-bat quality is better," Roberts said. "That's a reason why he signed to be with this ball club, this organization, to play in games like this, to showcase his otherworldly talent. I expect really fun things this postseason out of Shohei."

That Ohtani struck out in all three of his other at-bats ultimately didn't matter because the rest of the Dodgers' lineup provided plenty of support. Hernández and Tommy Edman ended Greene's postseason debut early with back-to-back third-inning blasts. Hernández added another bomb two innings later. Those five home runs equaled the Dodgers' single-game playoff record.

As good as the offense was, Snell held up his end, too. He surrendered just a single hit in the first six innings, adjusting to Cincinnati's aggressiveness on his first-pitch fastballs by mixing in more changeups.

In the bottom of the third, Snell shook his head and gestured at the home-plate umpire after what he thought should have been a called strike three to Stephenson was ruled just low. On the next pitch, he gathered himself and came back with a sharp curveball to induce an inning-ending swing-and-miss.

In 10 prior postseason outings, Snell had never gone more than 5 ⅔ innings. But in this one, he finished the seventh frame, something he considers a key for the Dodgers the rest of October.

"The deeper the starters go into the game," he said, "one, it means we're pitching good, and two, we're giving the bullpen a break."

Left unsaid by Snell: The fewer innings this flawed Dodgers bullpen throws, the better.

For seven innings Tuesday, a 93-win Dodgers team that underperformed for stretches of the regular season opened the playoffs looking like the juggernaut they were supposed to be all along. Altogether, it was an ideal start to Los Angeles' title defense.

Until the Dodgers' buzzkill of a bullpen sent their fans home feeling uneasy once again.

Madonna is opening up about the near-fatal infection that landed her in the hospital for several days in 2023.

The Queen of Pop was in the intensive care unit for a serious bacterial infection in June 2023, weeks before she was supposed to embark on her Celebration tour.

On a recent episode of the *On Purpose* podcast, she told host Jay Shetty that she had sepsis and was put on a ventilator. She previously shared that she had been in an induced coma for 48 hours during her stay.

"One minute, I was alive and dancing around," the "Vogue" singer said. "And the next minute, I was in the ICU unit of a hospital and I woke up from being unconscious for four days."

While she was recovering, Madonna said that she thought she would rebound quickly and resume tour rehearsals. However, the music icon became frustrated when she realized she had no energy or strength. Fortunately, she had her Kabbalah teacher there to support her through this difficult time.

"I couldn't get out of bed and I didn't know when it was going to end," she recalled. "And I used to talk to my teacher all the time and he's like, 'The sooner you accept what's happening to you and that you don't know when it's going to end, the sooner it's going to end.' That made so much sense to me."

Madonna resumed the Celebration tour in October 2023. During an early show, she said it was a "f---ing miracle" that she was able to perform after her health scare. The tour wrapped last May.

The "Like a Prayer" singer said that she saw her late mother when she was "almost there on the other side." When she awoke in the hospital, she realized she needed to "forgive and make good with people that I still held grudges against."

During the podcast, she also shared how she forgave her "biggest enemy" — brother Christopher Ciccone — before he died. Ciccone was previously the pop star's art and tour director. The siblings had a falling out following the publication of Ciccone's tell-all memoir *Life With My Sister Madonna*.

- Ana Navarro criticized Donald Trump's accomplishment record during a segment on *The View*.

- Navarro brought up Trump's name and segued into a point about dictatorships on the air.

- "Was Ana Navarro living under a rock during the Biden administration?" a White House spokesperson asks in a statement to EW.

Ana Navarro has once again drawn the ire of the White House, as representatives for Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., have slammed *The View* cohost's recent criticisms about the president in a new, incendiary statement to **.

After the Republican panelist alleged on the air during a wider discussion about the indictment of former FBI director James Comey that Trump hasn't accomplished many of the things he spoke about on the campaign trail (like ending military assaults in Ukraine and Gaza) before segueing her point into one about other world "dictatorships" under people like Fidel Castro, the White House issued a statement to EW condemning Navarro's remarks.

"Was Ana Navarro living under a rock during the Biden administration? Or did she just choose not to talk about Joe Biden censoring Americans for sharing info about COVID-19 on social media or about Biden's FBI investigating concerned parents at school board meetings," read a statement by White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson.

The statement referenced Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg's August 2024 remarks in a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan that alleged Biden's White House "repeatedly pressured" Facebook to remove "certain COVID-19 content including humor and satire," per the Associated Press.

The White House's statement to EW continued, claiming that, "President Trump is restoring integrity to our justice system and the indictment of Comey, by a grand jury, speaks for itself" without addressing wider controversy spurred by the Comey developments.

"Luckily for Ana, her brain-numbingly dumb takes won't embarrass her too much, because no one watches *The View* anyway," Jackson's statement finished, though *The View *recently announced that its season 29 premiere registered its highest debut ratings in five years.

EW has reached out to representatives for Navarro and Biden for comment.

The White House's remarks on Navarro follow government officials' recent uptick in statements about media figures, after Trump publicly threatened to revoke former *View* cohost and staunch Trump critic Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship in July (which he's unable to execute on constitutional grounds, as O'Donnell was born in the United States).

Representatives for Trump and the White House have repeatedly spoken out against *The View *cohosts in recent months, with government officials taking issue with everything from Navarro slamming "Latino Trumpers" for voting for the president, to singling out Joy Behar for supporting Jimmy Kimmel amid his recent suspension (and reinstatement) following comments he made about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk.

Brendan Carr, the head of the Federal Communications Commission, has also spoken out against *The View, *touting in an interview with Fox News earlier this year that he believed "consequences" for the show might follow over the cohosts' left-leaning views.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A'ja Wilson scored 35 points and Jackie Young had 32 to lead the Aces back to the WNBA Finals as Las Vegas held off pesky Indiana 107-98 in overtime in the deciding Game 5 of the semifinal series on Tuesday night after the already-depleted Fever lost another star player to injury.

The second-seeded Aces, who won the league title in 2022 and 2023, will host the fourth-seeded Phoenix Mercury on Friday in the opener of the best-of-seven championship series.

No. 6 seed Indiana made Las Vegas work for it even though the sixth-seeded Fever have been decimated by injuries, with star Kelsey Mitchell going down in the third quarter of Game 5 with an apparent left leg injury. She joined a list of injured Fever players that includes Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.

Mitchell had scored a team-high 15 points at the time of her injury. Six Fever players reached double digits, including Odyssey Sims with 27 points and Natasha Howard with 16.

The Aces were closer of a three-woman show, with Wilson coming within three points of her playoff career high. Chelsea Gray — who briefly went into the locker room early in the third quarter with an apparent right leg injury — scored 17.

Las Vegas needed every one of those points because the Fever challenged the Aces throughout, including after Mitchell got hurt. Rather than fade away and concede the playoff series to the home team, the Fever battled to tie the game at 84 on two Sims free throws with 52 seconds left.

After Young made two free throws with 27.1 seconds remaining, Sims answered with a drive down the lane for a layup with 22.5 seconds to go to again tie the game. Young missed a layup in the closing seconds and Jewell Loyd the follow to send the game to overtime.

The Aces then took the lead early in OT and didn't give it up.
