HBO’s Emmy-winning zombie sci-fi drama, which debuted in 2023, depicts a world where the mind-controlling parasitic fungi Cordyceps have taken over the human race and reshaped society at large.

The first episode of Season 2 threw fans five years ahead of the events of the first season. The episode shows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) somewhat normal lives while living in the safe haven of Jackson, Wyoming. Yet the two clearly have unresolved tension, as Ellie still holds resentment for Joel’s actions last season and for lying to her face.

The episode also introduced new characters Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), who has made her life mission to seek vengeance on Joel, and Dina (Isabela Merced), Ellie’s best friend and love interest.

Following the Tuesday release of death investigation records by New Mexico police, an investigative report shows Arakawa — who was found dead alongside Hackman at their Santa Fe residence in February — made repeated online searches about illness symptoms, according to The Associated Press and The New York Times.

In a March 31 ruling, a New Mexico judge allowed the release of media records from the investigation of Hackman and Arakawa’s deaths, including audio, autopsy records and videos, provided that the material does not depict the deceased couple’s bodies.

Previously, the First Judicial District Court in New Mexico issued a temporary restraining order against the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the Medical Investigator that temporarily barred the disclosure of such records.

The 31-year-old songstress was spotted giving the little girl her sparkly Barbie pink high-heeled boots at an April 13 show in Toronto, the last stop on the “Kelsea Ballerini Live On Tour.”

Various videos recorded by fans in the crowd show the moment Ballerini made eye contact with the girl who was watching the show from her father’s arms.

“It’s the last night of tour, and I told everyone, ‘Anything goes.’ It’s gonna get weird,” Ballerini is heard saying in fans’ videos, as she sits on stage. “Here’s what I’m thinking, I know that you’re so tiny, but you’re growing up. And I’m thinking that one day maybe these boots will fit you.”

During her tour’s final night, country music singer Kelsea Ballerini made a sweet gesture by gifting her boots to a young fan in Toronto.

Ballerini also says in the video that she’s only worn the boots about four times, so “they shouldn’t be that sweaty.”

“And maybe by the time you fit in them, they won’t be sweaty at all,” Ballerini added. “Do you want them?”

Ballerini is then seen passing the boots to a security guard, who passes them to the girl’s family standing in front of the barricade. The girl, dressed in a sparkly dress, happily accepts, nodding when Ballerini asks if she likes them.

“Do you promise whenever she fits in them to send me a photo?” Ballerini said. “You promise?”

The little girl is seen offering Ballerini a gift of her own and blowing the “Love Me Like You Mean It” singer a kiss before the show continues.

Kelsea Ballerini pens heartfelt message to crew, team after tour

Ballerini kicked off her self-titled three-month arena tour in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Jan. 21 and has traveled across 36 cities, including Los Angeles, St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

The Grammy-nominated artist took to social media on April 15, one day after her last show, to reflect and extend her gratitude to all the people who made the tour possible.

“We made it home,” Ballerini wrote in an Instagram post. “First of many end of tour emo posts, but the BIGGEST thank you to the team of people that made this come to life and executed the show every night so smoothly and beautifully. It has been a labor of love from so many, and I’m beyond grateful to share this first with such talented and kind humans.”

Ballerini, who is also a coach on the singing contest “The Voice,” will probably be taking some time off before she hits the stage again to headline the CMA Fest, a three-day country musical festival, on June 6.

On Wednesday, New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner released a statement announcing the cause and manner of the “Gossip Girl” actor’s Feb. 26 death as complications of diabetes mellitus. The manner was determined to be natural.

The office previously said in February that the cause and manner were “undetermined.”

Trachtenberg was found dead in a New York City luxury apartment building at 8 a.m. Feb. 26, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department previously confirmed to USA TODAY. Upon arriving at her unit, officers found a 39-year-old woman unconscious and unresponsive; EMS officials responded to the scene and found the actress dead.

The New York City-born star started her career at 3 in television commercials and rose to fame as a child star. She later found success in television and movie roles throughout the aughts and beyond.

The actor reflected on his July New York Times op-ed, in which he argued the Democratic party needed a new nominee.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper discussing his Broadway debut in the anti-McCarthyism play “Good Night, and Good Luck” – recreated from his Oscar-nominated film – Clooney, 63, reflected on the “courage” shown by journalist Edward R. Murrow, with Tapper taking the moment to draw comparison.

“You yourself did something that a lot of people would call brave when you wrote your op-ed,” said the CNN lead Washington anchor.

George Cunningham, senior vice president of public safety with Goldenvoice, explained the dilemma — and the steps being taken to address it — while speaking to the La Quinta City Council Tuesday.

His appearance came after car campers described massive traffic wait times, upwards of 12 hours, getting into the Empire Polo Club on April 10, as massive lines of cars backed up surrounding roads, particularly Monroe and Madison streets.

Cunningham told the council that the lengthy backups were partially caused by the early arrival of campers on Thursday morning “not ever letting up” throughout the day.
