Brittany Mahomes' Snakeskin Chaps Steal the Show at Chiefs Game

Brittany Mahomes' Snakeskin Chaps Steal the Show at Chiefs Game

Brittany Mahomes knows exactly how to throw a game day ‘fit together while in Sin City. Mahomes, 31, took to Instagram on Sunday, October 4, to show off her stylish outfit from the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game. While cheering on her husband, Patrick Mahomes, Brittany rocked a brown leather bomber jacket featuring a snakeskin pattern and white tank top. She styled her cool look with blue jeans featuring matching snakeskin chaps and brown pointed-toe heels. Mahomes added a touch of sparkle to her ensemble with a diamond ring and silver earrings. For glam, she donned glowy makeup with foundation, contoured cheeks, filled-in eyebrows, smokey brown eyeshadow and long lashes. She tied her glam together with glossy lips. Her blonde hair was styled in beachy waves and pulled back into a half-up coiffure. When she wasn't posing on the field, Brittany watched the game from a box. (The Chiefs won with a final score of 30-27.) “‘We’re winning. We’re gonna win the game.’ ��,” Brittany captioned the post, playfully referencing what the Raiders head coach, Klint Kubiak, told his players at halftime. Her followers laughed along with her in the comments section. “BRITTTTTTTT came with receiptsssssss ��,” one commented, while another added, “I KNEW his comment was gonna backfire and was waiting ������.” A third wrote, “The caption understood the assignment ������.” Brittany has no shortage of fierce game day outfits. Just last week, she rooted for her man while rocking a chic set featuring a white blouse with black polka dots and matching shorts. She watched the game with her kids, Sterling, 3, Bronze, 3, and Golden, 21 months. At the time, Sterling and Golden matched in red-and-white dresses with their last name and dad’s football number embroidered on the top. Brittany even gave a look at her fine line tattoo in honor of her family. The ink featured her three kids’ names and birthdays. Golden’s name was connected to Patrick’s initials, as well as her little ones’ side profiles. Following the game, she explained her tattoo after going viral for it. “I guess I never have shown my tattoo and people are so intrigued ��,” she captioned a close-up of the artwork. “It’s the side profiles of my kiddos with Patrick’s initials into their names and birthdays ����.”

Mystery Surrounds Russian Lab Worker’s Death Amid Plague Outbreak Fears

WASHINGTON — The US government is asking Russia to “quickly and openly” divulge information about a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia as global panic mounts.“Many details have not been confirmed. We encourage Russian authorities to share accurate information quickly and openly,” a State Department spokesman told The Post.“We are aware of reports of a fatal case of suspected pneumonic plague in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. We are monitoring the situation closely with the CDC and our other interagency partners.”Anti-plague lab worker Daria Shipilova, 28, died from pneumonia of an unknown cause in Russia.

There’s very limited travel between the US and Russia, obviously.  But like anything else, something like that gets out, it could certainly spread,” the diplomat added.“So we’re watching and monitoring it closely. I don’t think it’s cause for alarm but it is cause for focus and a cause just to keep an eye on it.”Pneumonic plague can spread from person to person via the air and is almost always fatal if not treated quickly with antibiotics.A health worker on a plague-response drill at the Russia-Mongolia border crossing in April 2026.

Karoline Leavitt Joins Fox News: What's Next After Her White House Exit?

Karoline Leavitt Joins Fox News: What's Next After Her White House Exit?

Karoline Leavitt is making the move to Fox News after leaving her job at the White House. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced on Monday, October 5, that Leavitt, 29, will be joining the network as a contributor, saying in a statement, “Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape. We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms.” Leavitt also addressed her new gig. “I am grateful for the opportunity to continue appearing on Fox News Channel as an official member of the extraordinary team at Fox News Media," she added. "I look forward to bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House press secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defined my tenure, to Fox’s millions of viewers across their many platforms.” The news comes two months after President Donald Trump revealed that Leavitt would be leaving her job as press secretary after welcoming baby No. 2 with husband Nicholas Riccio earlier this year. “Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family,” Trump, 80, wrote via Truth Social in August. “Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy history, and conclusively win the midterm elections.” He continued at the time: “Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024. Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done!” Leavitt later showed support for whoever would be chosen to take over her position. “It is a decision that is entirely up to him. Obviously, whoever takes this job, you spend a lot of time with the president. It has to be someone he wholeheartedly trusts and believes in,” she shared on an August episode of NewsNation’s Morning in America. “I will say, there's no shortage of applications. There are many capable people who want this job.” Leavitt said she has had many conversations with Trump about her exit. “I have offered to the president to continue to give him my advice and counsel in choosing the next person for the post,” she added. “It is a blessing, a privilege and honor to stand behind the White House podium. Whoever gets the job next is a very lucky person to work for this president at this moment in history, and I'll be here to help every step of the way.” She concluded: “Again, I will leave the decision to the president himself, and I'll keep my private counsel to him private. But rest assured, I know that he will choose someone who will serve this country and him and this White House very well.”

Why Donald Trump's Daily Aspirin Habit Is Raising Eyebrows

Why Donald Trump's Daily Aspirin Habit Is Raising Eyebrows

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows after reiterating his love for — and apparent need of — aspirin. “I love Bayer Aspirin. I take an aspirin a day,” Trump, 80, said while speaking to a crowd of supporters at a midterm campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday, October 3. “I don’t know if it works, but psychologically I need it. It thins the hell out of your blood I guess. I don’t know if it works or not but I’ve been doing it for a long time — and here I am, making speeches.” The commander-in-chief continued, “Bayer. And I like Bayer aspirin … I take the big one. You know they want me to go down to the 80… I take the 386… I don’t know what the hell it is. It’s a monster. They said, ‘Sir, you don’t need that.’ I said, ‘Do me a favor — I’ve been doing okay for 35 years. Leave me alone.’” The president went on to claim that when he has switched aspirin doses, things go awry. “I switch to the little tiny one — the little tiny — it doesn’t look right,” he continued. “I’ll switch to that little tiny one and something bad will happen.” Trump — the oldest person to be inaugurated at 78 — has made headlines in recent years for his perceived health. “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” the president told the Wall Street Journal in a January interview, claiming his daily aspirin dose is to blame for the visible bruising on his hands. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart,” Trump added at the time. (Doctors have noted that the president takes a full 325-milligram dose of aspirin every day — a dose that is significantly higher than the recommended 81-milligram of aspirin for some patients experiencing heart issues.) When asked about the visible discoloration on his hands, the president admitted to covering up the marks with makeup in an effort to hide the bruising. “I have makeup that’s, you know, easy to put on, takes 10 seconds,” Trump told the outlet. That same month, former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed the bruising on the president’s hand was the result of an accidental bump against a table during an official signing. “At the Board of Peace event today in Davos, President Trump hit his hand on the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise,” she claimed in a statement at the time. Trump later reiterated the claim on Air Force One. “I clipped it on the table,” he told CNN’s Samatha Waldenberg at the time. “I put a little — what do they call it? — cream on it. But I clipped it.”

Kim Kardashian's Unexpected Dating Revelation Amid Lewis Hamilton Romance

Kim Kardashian's Unexpected Dating Revelation Amid Lewis Hamilton Romance

Kim Kardashian is opening up about her dating mindset when things turned romantic with former friend, and now boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton. “I was really single for five years,” Kardashian, 45, shared in a Saturday, October 3, profile with The Times. “And that felt great. I could focus on my kids and projects that I really wanted to be involved with. I really felt no rush. Like, I really didn’t feel empty. I felt like I needed my time. I wanted to completely heal and just work on myself. I wasn’t ready to open up. I really wasn’t even thinking about it. The universe works in your favour when you just allow it to.” When asked if she would like to talk about her new romance with the F1 driver, Kardashian told the outlet, “In the most respectful way, I’d probably rather not.” Kardashian and Hamilton, 41, were first linked earlier this year after their longtime friendship turned romantic. The pair have since been spotted together on multiple occasions, including Super Bowl LX and during a trip to Tokyo. In August, an insider exclusively told Us that the Kardashians star is considering expanding her family with Hamilton. (Kardashian welcomed four children with ex-husband Kanye West: daughters North, 13, and Chicago, 8, and sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, 7.) “They are really in love. Kim may want to have more kids with Lewis,” a source close to the pair said at the time. “They just get each other, they get each other’s quirks. She is really happy with him.” A second insider, meanwhile, shared that the couple are "super in love" and are "such a nice fit” for each other. "All of their friends and family are so happy that they are so happy together. ... They are both really driven and being on the same page about that definitely helps," the source said at the time. Since her divorce from West, Kardashian has also been briefly linked to comedian Pete Davidson. In September, Davidson, 32, made headlines when he reflected on his romance with the Skims founder. “I’m one of the survivors — the few and the proud. We’re like the Marines,” Davidson quipped to Variety about the men who’ve famously dated members of the Kardashian family. “Look, man, that’s a really tough atmosphere if you’re not game. One of the things I love about Kim and that whole family is they’re like, ‘This is what we do.’ I found that very attractive and mature.”

Anne Hathaway's Vanishing Act: What Really Happened After the 'Verity' Premiere?

Anne Hathaway's Vanishing Act: What Really Happened After the 'Verity' Premiere?

No can deny that Anne Hathaway is a woman of her word. “‘Breaking News: As Promised, Anne Hathaway Vanishes Into a Plume of Smoke,’” a fictional headline shared to the pregnant actress’ Instagram account on Friday, October 2, read as she prepares to welcome her third baby with husband Adam Shulman. In a follow-up clip, the pregnant actress, 43, sat in a chair while getting her makeup done. “So, we’re heading out to the Verity premiere,” Hathaway said, rubbing her baby bump. “Verity comes out in theaters Friday, October 2, and then, on October 3 …” Before Hathaway could finish her thought, she disappeared from the screen as a graphic of a gray cloud took her place. Hathaway’s stylist, Erin Walsh, subsequently walked into the frame, asking, “Where the f*** is she?” Hathaway previously announced she would be taking a step back from the limelight once Verity hit theaters. "The movie comes out on October 2, and October 3, I’m going to vanish in a plume of smoke, and you’re not gonna see me until you have to,” Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight in September. “I’m definitely gonna disappear and take some time off.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd_pnKwKTD0/ Before Verity, the Oscar winner starred in four other big-screen releases this year: Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street. While promoting her respective films, Hathaway announced in June that she is expecting her third baby with Shulman, 45. (The couple also share sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.) During her seemingly endless press tours, Hathaway joked that her unborn baby is a “buzzer beater” due to her advanced maternal age. “There’s always hope until there’s not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like it’s 1 percent to 2 percent,” she told Access Hollywood in July of conceiving in her 40s. “We just decided to see where life took us with a very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low.” She continued at the time, “We’re overjoyed because we just know from personal experience that not everybody gets this, and certainly not when you want it — sometimes not ever. It’s a blessing that we do not take for granted.” Hathaway has previously been candid about her fertility journey. “The first time it didn’t work out for me. I was doing a play and I had to give birth onstage every night,” she told Vanity Fair in 2024, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage while playing a pregnant character in the 2015 off-Broadway play Grounded. “It was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine.” According to Hathaway, she wanted to “keep it real” with her fans and publicly shared her rainbow baby news. “When it did go well for me, having been on the other side of it — where you have to have the grace to be happy for someone — I wanted to let my sisters know, ‘You don’t have to always be graceful. I see you and I’m with you,’” she added. “It’s really hard to want something so much and to wonder if you’re doing something wrong.”

Facebook/Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard“The language of these campaign mailers reasonably would lead residents to believe they contained official business from their mayor, compelling them to open the envelopes when they might not otherwise do so,” wrote Erica Hamrick, deputy chief of the OSC’s Hatch Act Unit, in the department’s ruling, which was obtained by The Post. Patterson-Howard endorsed five candidates for comptroller, city council and city judge in the mailer and even included a sample ballot for residents in the Westchester County enclave to “cut and take with you to vote,” according to Samuel Rivers, the Mount Vernon activist who filed the complaint against her with the feds.“Look at the letter — the federal government has now confirmed what residents suspected when they opened that envelope: The mayor used the power of her office to try to choose their representatives for them,” Rivers said — calling for the mayor’s resignation. But the feds only hit Patterson-Howard with a slap on the wrist and issued her a simple warning letter and “advised that if in the future she engages in prohibited political activity, OSC would consider such activity to be a willful and knowing violation of the law.” Federal investigators said the mayor sent campaign mailers stamped as an “important message” from the city in her push to boost a slate of her hand-picked candidates.Inside the mailers, Patterson-Howard endorsed five candidates for comptroller, city council and city judge. Still, the federal rebuke is the latest black eye for Patterson-Howard, who recently came under fire when her hand-picked deputy police commissioner, Jennifer Lackard, was charged with attempted murder for allegedly chaperoning her gang-banging son to a botched drive-by shooting outside a Bronx courthouse. James Lackard, 47, the deputy commissioner’s drug-peddling, ex-con husband who was also allegedly in the car during the drive-by, was on the run from police before turning himself in a few days after the shooting, according to police. Patterson-Howard — who made history in 2019 as the first woman elected mayor in Mount Vernon — had hired Lackard in 2020 to lead the police department’s Wellness Unit, a $125,000-a-year job reportedly created for her, despite her having no real law-enforcement experience. The mayor has defended the hire, insisting Lackard passed a “rigorous background check.”Patterson-Howard did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. Additional reporting by Mark Lungariello

Mika Abdalla and Josh Heuston Spark Romance Buzz at Paris Fashion Week

Mika Abdalla and Josh Heuston Spark Romance Buzz at Paris Fashion Week

Off Campus costars Mika Abdalla and Josh Heuston are trading the rink for the runway amid their blossoming romance. Abdalla, 26, and Heuston, 29, made their public debut as a couple at Valentino’s Paris Fashion Week presentation on Sunday, October 4,where the duo sweetly held hands while arriving at the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. Abdalla stunned in a flowy, lime frock which she paired with a lilac flower on her shoulder, while Heuston looked dapper in a gray knit sweater and charcoal-color trousers. The couple, attending the show on behalf of Valentino Beauty, each wore the brand’s new Born in Roma Rendez Vous Ruby fragrance. Abdalla and Heuston starred as Allie Hayes and Justin Kohl, respectively, on the first season of Prime Video’s Off Campus and soon sparked a romance off-camera. (Allie’s love interest is Dean Di Laurentis, while Justin is the crush of Allie’s BFF Hannah Wells before she ends up with Garrett Graham.) Us exclusively confirmed in June that Abdalla started dating Heuston after she ended her engagement with her now-ex fiancé, Jake Short. Abdalla and Short, 29, were together from 2021 until their split this summer. “Because of the immense curiosity about Mika’s personal life and in light of numerous erroneous reports, I can clarify that Mika and Jake are no longer in a relationship,” Abdalla’s rep told Us in a June statement. “They continue to support each other and remain on friendly terms, and kindly ask for privacy and respect.” Abdalla has not further addressed her breakup or newfound romance with Heuston as she remains focused on production of Off Campus season 2. She is set to take the lead in the next batch of episodes alongside Stephen Kalyn as Dean. “I’m just really looking forward to digging deeper into who Allie and Dean are,” Abdalla told Us exclusively in May of her character’s story line. “They both, kind of, have these fronts, these personas that are hard to kind of crack through. They are kind of stereotypes of themselves. But in the books, as we know, there’s so much beneath the surface of Dean, and there’s so much beneath the surface of Allie.” She continued at the time, “When it is time for our season, I’m excited to dig emotionally into that a little bit more, because, you know, we see Allie and Dean as their exteriors a lot in season 1. While that is fun, and they are super fun characters to play, I think as actors, selfishly, both of us are really excited to, kind of, like, get psychological.” Heuston, for his part, will not return for season 2 — but he hasn’t ruled out coming back to Off Campus in the future. “That’s above my pay grade, but I just hope Justin finds love and continues to be happy while writing music,” he told Us in a separate May interview. “Justin is following his heart. He’s a little lover boy at heart. I think things went the way that they went, but I think he’ll just continue to do that. He’ll probably go write some nice music about how heartbroken he is and then come back and try to find his love.”
