RFK Jr catches waves with surfing legend Kelly Slater for birthday while campaigning in Hawaii
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., caught some waves with surfing legend Kelly Slater for his birthday while campaigning in Hawaii.
Kennedy posted the video of him surfing with Slater, and surf rock playing in the background on X, formerly Twitter.
“Best birthday present ever: Catching waves with 11-time world surf champion [Slater] on North Shore, Pua’ena Point,” Kennedy wrote on Wednesday.

Kennedy made the post amid his visit to the Aloha State, where he held a rally in his bid for president.
The independent candidate is challenging President Biden and the eventual Republican presidential nominee for the Oval Office.
Kennedy has been making his rounds throughout the country and in the media as he has pushed forward with his campaign and has garnered support from several celebrities.
Rock and roll legend Eric Clapton raised a whopping $2.2 million for Kennedy at a Los Angeles fundraiser in September, his campaign said.

Kennedy’s campaign said it raised $1 million while the remaining $1.2 million went to a political action committee supporting the Democrat’s presidential bid.

In November, a trio of former professional athletes announced that they were throwing their support behind Kennedy to take the White House.
NBA legend and 1992 “Dream Team” Olympian John Stockton, Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame member Ken Ruettegers and three-time North American Enduro mountain biking champion Kyle Warner are all endorsing Kennedy for president.

The athletes said that they like the cut of Kennedy’s jib — all three pointed to what they say are the independent candidate’s genuineness, honesty and openness to conversations about policies as reasons they support him.
Stockton said he believes that Kennedy “has been put on this planet for just this moment in time” and that there’s “a real need for him and his leadership.”
“There’s a need for very smart people in these positions that have integrity that [is] off the charts, that have the stamina and strength to be able to speak and be a leader 24/7, not just on occasion or on blips,” Stockton said.

Arizona teen who vanished in 1994 resurfaces decades later as mom of 3 who works for private investigator
A runaway Arizona schoolgirl last seen 32 years ago is reportedly living as a married mom of three who works for a private investigator.
Christina Plante was 13 when she disappeared from her parents’ house in Star Valley, northeast of Phoenix, one Sunday afternoon in May 1994.
Now 45, the former missing teen was discovered living in Springfield, Missouri, in a five-bedroom house she shares with her husband, Shaun Hollon, 49, the Daily Mail reported.
Since her identity was revealed, Plante has given very few details about the past three decades.
She reportedly married as a teen and had three sons before earning a psychology degree and getting a job with a private investigations firm.
“She isn’t being very cooperative with us. She wouldn’t say who she met with or how she even got out of town,” Gila County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jim Lahti told the Daily Mail.
“She did admit that she ran away. She didn’t want to be there,” he added.

Tori Spelling speaks out after California car crash with seven children
Tori Spelling is feeling “grateful” after the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star and four of her children were involved in a serious car crash in California earlier this month.
“We are so grateful and so lucky, because it could have been so much worse,” Spelling said in a Tuesday Instagram video, adding that the last few days have been “overwhelming.”
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office previously told NBC News the April 2 crash occurred after another driver allegedly ran a red light while speeding and hit Spelling’s car.
Spelling, 52, and seven children — four of her own and three of their friends — were taken to the hospital after the April 2 accident in Temecula, California. The sheriff’s officer said at the time that all occupants were evaluated at the scene, and no arrests were made. The cause of the collision, however, remains under investigation.
In the self-style video, Spelling detailed the incident from her point of view, saying that the driver who hit her car was “going crazy, crazy fast.”
“I’m just really grateful that in a split second, guardian angels were definitely with us that day, because in a split second, I looked to my right and I saw he was coming full on, full impact into the side of our car,” she said.
To avoid impacting the children as much as possible, Spelling said she had to turn hard left as fast as she could, causing them to spin out. TMZ, which first reported the incident, said Spelling and the children were treated for cuts, bruises, contusions, concussions, and other injuries.
“I just want to thank all of the first responders on the scene and to Inland Valley ER that took such great care of all of the kids and myself,” Spelling added in the video.
Video obtained by TMZ appeared to show Spelling speaking animatedly with first responders. Photos published by TMZ appeared to show Spelling’s car to be significantly less damaged than the other vehicle involved.
“I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out and repeatedly checked on us and offered to do whatever we needed to get us through this, and all the blessings everyone has sent,” Spelling added in the video.
Spelling shares five children with her ex-husband, Dean McDermott. It is unclear which of her four children was in the car involved in the crash.

Fire crews knock down wildfire that prompted evacuations in northern Colorado
Fire crews are extinguishing hot spots on a wildfire in northern Colorado that prompted evacuations early Wednesday for people living near Carter Lake in Larimer County.
The Cougar Run fire was estimated at about 3 1/2 acres at about 8:30 a.m., down from an earlier estimate of 10 acres, according to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office. The cause for the fire, which is burning on state land, remains unknown.
The mandatory evacuation remained in effect as crews continue to work but were lifted at about 10:30 a.m., the sheriff’s office said.
Voluntary evacuations were also being urged for residents in the area of Blue Mountain and Spring Valley, west of Carter Lake, the agency said.
Crews from the sheriff’s office, the state’s fire division and Berthoud and Loveland fire departments are on scene, the sheriff’s office said. A helicopter was ordered.
Fire restrictions are in effect for areas below 9,000 feet in unincorporated parts of Larimer County, barring uncontained open fires and smoking in open areas, such as trails and open spaces.
“Elevated to critical fire weather” is expected across the lower Front Range foothills and Interstate 25 corridor Wednesday due to warm, dry and breezy conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Moisture is expected to lower fire risk starting Thursday and through the weekend, with daily chances of showers and thunderstorms, the service said.
A separate fire that sparked northwest of Boulder grew to about 2 acres before crews stopped its progress earlier Wednesday. An evacuation warning was issued for the Goat Trail fire just before 4 a.m.
