The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum, 44, presented the Icon Award to the "Jack & Diane" singer, 74, whom she thanked for taking care of her throughout her yearslong battle with cancer.

She shared that of all his songs, the one she finds the most meaningful is his 2008 track "Longest Days," where he sings, "But nothing lasts forever / Your best efforts don't always pay / Sometimes when you get sick and you don't get better / That's when life is short, even in its longest days."

"It was a little over a year ago when I got sick — my life felt short even when the days in the hospital seemed to go on forever. Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better," she said on stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. "He wasn't going to let that lyric define my life. He stepped up, took control, fought for me and pretty much changed my life, saved my life," she said on stage. "A man I get to call dad, and my best friend."

On the red carpet Thursday, Teddi confirmed toVarietythat she still has stage 4 melanoma but said her treatment is going well.

"I'm in the middle of immunotherapy and it's working so things are positive," she told the outlet. She said she hopes her vulnerability encourages more people to get screened.

At the March 26 ceremony's red carpet, the reality TV personality also reunited with "Real Housewives of Orange County" starTamra Judge.

People attend "Date My Mate", a live dating night where friends pitch their single friends in London

LONDON, March 27 (Reuters) - Fed up of swiping left or right on dating apps, young London singles are returning to a classic British way of meeting people--the pub--with a ‌modern twist: a PowerPoint presentation by a close friend pitching them as dating material.

Putting together a ‌slide deck is second nature for many younger millennials and older Gen Zers. Now, they're using that skill to enhance their mates' love ​lives, just as dating apps are losing their appeal.

"I hate the swiping," said Annie, 27, adding she was keen to see if her friend's two-minute pitch at a 'Date my Mate' event could land her a boyfriend--or at least a first date.

Organisers said all 150 tickets for the event, held at a north London pub, were sold in less ‌than five minutes. And they're planning to ⁠roll out more, aiming for one a week across the country.

DATING APPS LOSE SHINE

Dating apps are fading in popularity in the UK, with usage across the 10 biggest platforms ⁠falling 16% between 2023 and 2024, according to Global Dating Insights. Polling shows nearly half of users have had negative experiences on apps like Tinder and Hinge.

At the event, friends crowded around tables with glasses of wine, wearing "Date" or "Mate" stickers, ​as ​presenters clicked through slides of flattering holiday snaps and fun ​facts.

"A bit more about Lauren. She's 30. ‌She's a structural engineer, so even though she will stop walls from falling down, she'll always be there to support you," said one friend.

"Interesting fact, she's just about to submit her sexy fantasy romance book to publishers."

Having seen similar events in Australia and the U.S. on social media, Emily Churchill, head of marketing at wine company Nice who helped arrange the event, said she knew she had to bring the concept to London.

"It's just so ‌much fun," she said, adding it gave coupled-up friends a ​way to help their single mates find love and escape "horrible dating ​stories."

'VINTAGE' WAY OF MEETING PEOPLE

Those hunting for a ​match said it was easier for a friend to sell their best qualities--and poke ‌fun at their flaws--with humour and honesty.

"It's quite ​retro. It's a vintage way ​of meeting people," said Jonny, 28, a journalist, joking about how he tried to steer his own presentation.

His friend Patrick said the preparation involved "hundreds of photos over WhatsApp, hundreds, and him being incredibly specific ​about the ones that make him ‌look good."

Laughing about whether the friendship would survive the pitch, Patrick said he was confident the ​slides were good enough to lead to a wedding some day.

Somalia Hungry Children

For the mothers in theLadan camp in the town of Dollow, survival is the only thing on their minds — not theIran waror how UNICEF gets the supplies to keep the place running. The displaced here have fled the drought that hasravaged swaths of this Horn of Africa nationafter four failed rain seasons.

Their crops and livestock devastated, they show up at the camp, often with nothing but their children.

Aid workers at Ladan say the raging war in the Middle East — more than 3,000 kilometers (1,800 miles) away — has made their work harder, disrupting supplies and sending fuel costs soaring.

Raising the alarm

UNICEF says it has $15.7 million worth of lifesaving supplies — including therapeutic food, vaccines, and mosquito nets — in transit or being prepared for delivery to Somalia. But those shipments now are uncertain.

Transport costs could rise by 30% to 60%, and even double on some routes, while delays caused by rerouting and backlog become more likely, the U.N. agency says.

During a visit to Dollow on Wednesday, Catherine Russell, UNICEF's executive director, said the Iran war has been a "shock to the system" for the agency's work on the ground in Somalia.

"It means that we can't get supplies in as easily, and that fuel costs are really high," she said. "It's another problem that we have to try to deal with, and it means that more and more children will suffer."

At the same time, more than 400 health and nutrition facilities have closed over the past year across Somalia, due mainly toU.S. funding cuts, leaving many communities without access to support. Aid agencies warn more closures could follow.

All those issues have compounded the situation in Laden, where hunger threatens especially the youngest.

"What we're seeing is that children are really on the edge already," Russell said.

Grim numbers

In Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, the government warned last month that nearly 6.5 million people — out of the population of more than 20 million — face severe hunger as the drought worsens and conflict and global aid cuts intensify the country's crisis.

The humanitarian needs are just the tip of the iceberg as the Somali government grapples with its long-running war against the al-Qaida-linkedal-Shababmilitant group, fighting toreclaim territory from the extremists.

The latest data from a report by theIntegrated Food Security Phase Classification, a global hunger monitoring group, estimates that 1.84 million children under the age of 5 in Somalia are expected to suffer acute malnutrition in 2026.

Fending for their lives

In Ladan, spread across the town's dusty outskirts, rows of makeshift shelters stretch under the harsh sun, fragile structures of plastic sheets and torn fabric held together by sticks and thorn branches. The camp is home to about 4,500 households.

"We just want our children to survive," said Shamso Nur Hussein, a 20-year-old widow with three children. She fled their village in the Bakool region after losing all her farm animals.

Her cooking hearth at the camp — three stones and ash — was cold, with no sign of a recent fire.

"Since morning we have only had black tea," she told The Associated Press at the camp.

At the hospital in Dollow, mothers sat shoulder to shoulder on narrow beds holding frail children, some too weak to cry while others let out soft whimpers.

Liban Roble, a nutrition program coordinator, said the hospital used to see mainly "moderate cases."

"Now we are receiving children in extremely critical condition — severely malnourished, weak, and in some cases almost skeletal," he said.

Supplies running low

Roble said the hospital has only supplies to treat the malnourished "until mid-April or the end of April."

"If new stock doesn't arrive, more children will deteriorate and potentially die," he said.

At Ladan's nutrition center, health workers weighed children and dispensed a peanut-based paste, squeezing it into the children's mouths.

It's a lifeline, a means to prevent rapid decline of the malnourished children, nurse Abdimajid Adan Hussein said.

"Their weakened bodies make them vulnerable to pneumonia, diarrhea and other illnesses," Hussein said.

Community leaders say support is already falling short.

"We used to receive assistance from humanitarian agencies, but that stopped in September 2025," said Abdifatah Mohamed Osman, Ladan's deputy chairman. "Now the little support we get is mainly therapeutic food for malnourished children."

Arnold Schwarzeneggerappears to have become his son's biggest cheerleader, as he follows in his famous dad's footsteps. No, not Patrick Schwarzenegger, whose acting bug bite has led to memorable roles in series likeThe White Lotus.

A set of photosposted to TikTokon Tuesday by Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Baena shows theTerminatorstar on the sidelines at Gold's Gym in Venice, Calif., coaching Baena through some heavy-looking lifts.

Schwarzenegger appears in two of the four photos, both times locked in on Baena, who shows off ripped biceps as he reps a weighted bar. In one shot, Schwarzenegger and another gym-goer appear to shout instructions or encouragement at Baena as he trains his physique.

"You have to shock the muscles!" Baena wrote in the caption of the post, a reference to one of his father'soft-repeatedbodybuilding philosophies.

Baena, 28, is Schwarzenegger's youngest son. His parentage was not a matter of public record until until 2011, when he was 13. News broke then that Schwarzenegger hadfathered two childrenby two different women just five days apart in 1997: Christopher, his youngest child with ex-wife Maria Shriver, and Baena, whose mother is Mildred Patricia "Patty" Baena, a former domestic employee of Schwarzenegger and Shriver.

Both Schwarzenegger and Patty claimed it tookseveral years to discoverBaena's true provenance.

"It was as Joseph grew and I started to see the resemblance that I wondered — but it became more apparent as time went on," Patty shared a month after the 2011 revelation.

Schwarzenegger opened up about thefallout from the ordealin his 2023 Netflix docuseriesArnold: "I think that I have caused enough pain for my family because of my f---up. Everyone had to suffer: Maria had to suffer, the kids had to suffer, Joseph, his mother — everyone."

For his part, Baena has said relatively little about the public scandal, though he did reflect toMen's Healthin 2022, "[Patty] was really the only person I had, and I was really the only person that she had... No one knew, and everyone wanted the details. We had each other's backs."

Schwarzenegger now appears a constant presence in Baena's life,inviting himto big events like the 2025 season 2 premiere of his action-packed seriesFubar.

Michele Hundley Smith was 38 when she was reported missing in December 2001, theRockingham County Sheriff's Officein North Carolina said. In February, she was found "alive and well" in the state following a tip.

On Thursday, the moment Amanda dreamed of for years came true.

The two reunited outside the Rockingham County district courthouse, where her mother was set to appear.

Smith walked toward her daughter with open arms and held her in a long, tight embrace. She complimented her daughter's hair and kissed her.

"Oh, I know everything is not black and white. There's a whole gray area," Amanda Smith told NBC affiliateWXII of Winston-Salem. "Life's too short for me to hold a grudge against her because she's my mom."

"We only get one life, and I want my mom in it," she told the station.

Days after she was located, Smith wasarrested on an outstanding orderrelated to her failing to appear in court 25 years ago. That order was in connection with a driving while intoxicated charge issued Nov. 11, 2001, by the Eden Police Department.

Her daughter accompanied her to her arraignment Thursday. During the hearing, Smith requested a court-appointed attorney, and her next court date is set for April 23, the sheriff's office said.

It's not clear why Smith left her life behind all those years ago.

She was last known to have left home on Dec. 9, 2001, headed to a K-Mart in Martinsville, Virginia, for Christmas shopping and never returned, the sheriff's office said.

After she was found, she indicated to authorities that there were "domestic issues" and that she left on her own accord, Rockingham County Sheriff's Capt. Jonathan Cheek has said. The sheriff's office had no records related to such issues before she departed.

Smith had asked that her location not be disclosed, including to her family members who were notified that she had been found, the office said.

Smith has two daughters and a son, Amanda said on Facebook in 2021.

For more than 20 years, Amanda didn't lose hope. She ran a Facebook page asking for information and sharing personal reflections on missing her mother.

Last month, after her mother was found, Amanda posted on the Facebook page: "I will say that my mother chose her new life and we know she is alive, and for now that is enough."

She said that her family was "hurting" and that her father suffered as the target of "many accusations since all the way back then."

"I am ecstatic, I am pissed, I am heartbroken, I am all over the map! Will I have a relationship once more with my mom? Honestly I can't answer that bc I don't even know," she wrote at the time.

The Welsh singer, whose real name is Aimée Anne Duffy and who is known for her 2008 Grammy-nominated song "Mercy," will open up for the first time in a feature-length documentary film for Disney+ about allegedly being kidnapped, trafficked and sexually abused.

Singer Duffy says she was 'raped and drugged and held captive'

In 2020, after disappearing from the spotlight for 10 years, Duffy reemerged and shared in an Instagram post that she had allegedly been kidnapped, trafficked, "raped and drugged and held captive over some days."

She also wrote about the alleged kidnapping and abuse in anessayonline, saying it happened on her birthday and that she was initially "drugged at a restaurant."

She alleged that she was taken to a foreign country at one point, but "can't remember getting on the plane," only waking "in the back of a travelling vehicle."

She said she did not remember how she got home.

The singer did not share details of where or when the alleged incidents took place, but said in her 2020 Instagram post that she was "ok and safe now."

In her essay, she said that the experience took a toll on her in the years that followed.

She added, "I am sharing this because we are living in a hurting world and I am no longer ashamed that something deeply hurt me, anymore. I believe that if you speak from the heart within you, the heart within others will answer. As dark as my story is, I do speak from my heart, for my life, and for the life of others, whom have suffered the same."

A pressreleaseabout the new documentary from Disney+ and Hulu states that it will be a "retrospective film traversing Duffy's life, from her upbringing in Wales, through to her meteoric rise to fame and her withdrawal from public life following her unfathomable experience."

The documentary will also include archival footage and interviews with Duffy's family, friends and industry peers.

Woman accused of firing shots at Rihanna's home pleads not guilty

Disney+ executive Sean Doyle said in a statement, "This film will give Duffy the chance to tell her story in her own words," adding that the project was handled "with sensitivity and care."

"I'm especially in awe of Duffy -- for her honesty and courage to share her story," he said.

Documentary director Gill Callan added in a statement, "Duffy's life has been shaped by success and fame, but equally by pain, defiance, and an irrepressible sense of self. I'm drawn to the tension between vulnerability and confidence in her story and how a person can be deeply affected by their experiences, yet still find a powerful, expressive voice that is unmistakably hers."

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.
