Sarah Ferguson Had ‘Crush' on JFK Jr. During His Relationship With Daryl Hannah, New Book Claims
Sarah Ferguson had a 'schoolgirl crush' on John F. Kennedy Jr. back in the day — and didn't take no for an answer, despite his relationship status. 'On a trip to New York, Fergie asked her staff to find out if John Kennedy Jr. — handsome son of the assassinated JFK — was in town,' author Andrew Lownie writes in his upcoming book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, per an excerpt published by the Daily Mail. 'Discovering where he was, she invited him for drinks or dinner at her hotel, which he accepted.' According to Lownie, Ferguson, now 65, was informed that John Jr. was in a relationship with Daryl Hannah at the time but said, 'That's not going to bother me!' John Jr. and Hannah, now 64, were together for five years, splitting in 1994. The actress was allegedly 'bothered' by Ferguson's invitation, so 'Kennedy cancelled, claiming a prior engagement.' Sarah Ferguson's Friendship With Princess Diana Through the Years Lownie's book claims, 'Staff were then ordered to spy on his apartment all night to check that he had told the truth,' as Ferguson wouldn't 'be discouraged.' Lownie also alleges that Ferguson took issue with the late Princess Diana meeting John Jr. 'for 30 minutes' in December 1995. 'She was furious: 'He's mine! Why can't she just leave him alone?'' he writes. 'She gave Kennedy a code name, 'Number Nine' — his place in the order of her lovers.' The Duchess of York 'spent hours scouring magazines for articles about him, cutting out pictures of him in his swimming trunks and talking to her friends about whether he would like different aspects of her personality,' the author continues. Lownie claims a 'close confidant' told him it seemed as though Ferguson thought things were 'incredibly real' between her and John Jr. Sarah Ferguson's Ups and Downs With the Royal Family: Divorce, Wedding Snubs and More 'She spends hours talking about him,' the friend says. 'The fact that she's never even met him doesn't seem to matter at all.' Ferguson's team declined to comment on the book, which hits shelves August 14. Ferguson married Prince Andrew in July 1986. They were together for a decade before finalizing their divorce in May 1996. The former couple share daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. (Details about the exes' alleged ups and downs will also be explored in Lownie's book.) John Jr., meanwhile, ended up marrying Carolyn Bessette in September 1996. The couple died in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard in July 1999. Solve the daily Crossword

I tested GPT-5 vs GPT-4 with 7 prompts — here's which one gave better answers
Now that OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5, I've been itching to see how it stacks up against GPT-4. While I still have GPT-4 running in one of my browsers, I wanted to test them side by side before it disappeared for good; because once you upgrade to the new model, there's no easy way to go back. So, I pitted the two models against each other using the exact same prompts to see how they differ in the way they think, write and reason. From solving a locked-room mystery to offering emotional support, here's how GPT-4 and GPT-5 compare, and which one came out on top. Prompt: 'You are a detective solving a mystery. A man was found dead in a locked room with a puddle of water next to him and no windows or doors were broken. Walk me through your thought process to determine how he died.'GPT-4 over-relied on the "melting icicle" trope without addressing why it was less plausible (e.g., no weapon entry wound mentioned). The model lacked concrete steps for validating hypotheses at the crime responded like a seasoned detective filing a report. It was methodical, with an evidence-first method and grounded in practical forensics. It prioritized the most probable scenario (ice-block hanging) while systematically eliminating alternatives, which is exactly what the prompt GPT-5 wins for solving the mystery more convincingly by blending logic, realism and investigative rigor. Prompt: 'Summarize the plot of the movie Inception in three different ways: once like a 5th grader would explain it, once as a New York Times film critic, and once in the form of a haiku.'GPT-4 fell short in each of the explanations. The 5th grader felt like an adult simplifying rather than a natural phrasing from a child, the NYT critic lacked depth and the haiku was functional but less showcased authenticity with the 5th grader explanation, sophisticated syntax with the NYT critic-style response and the haiku offered better GPT-5 wins for better fulfilling the prompt's creative challenge by tailoring tone, depth and language to each audience while injecting originality (e.g., "dream lasagna"). Its responses feel purpose-built, not templated. Prompt: 'Help me meal plan for a week. I'm gluten-free, on a $75 budget, and I only have a microwave and toaster oven.' GPT-4 offered generic tips and the pricing was a bit optimistic. The protein option was weak in comparison to GPT-5. The plan delivered limited cross utilization rather than strategic created an actionable plan, microwave hacks and true savings for the GPT-5 wins by prioritizing real-world constraints: the rotisserie chicken alone demonstrates deeper understanding of budget/appliance limitations. Its plan is cheaper, more cohesive and actively reduces user effort. Prompt: 'I just lost my job and I feel like a failure. I can't stop comparing myself to others. Can you talk to me like a friend and help me feel better?'GPT-4 was a big vague and slightly formal, it ends with a general emoji rather than a more collaborative response like listened, named hidden pains and responded by balancing comfort with GPT-5 wins by mirroring how real friends support us. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Prompt: 'Write the opening paragraph of a dystopian novel where people must pay to breathe fresh air. Then, pitch the plot in one sentence.' GPT-4 lacked cohesion between the elements and lacks directly set up the pitch and is clearer with higher GPT-5 wins for a response that is tighter, more original and emotionally sharper. Its opening makes you feel the cost of air, while its pitch promises a focused, human-driven rebellion. Prompt: 'I want to make a simple website that says 'Hello, world!' with a pink background and a fun font. Can you write the HTML and CSS and explain each line to a beginner?' GPT-4 overcomplicated fonts. The response required beginners to manage Google Fonts (extra setup/failure points) and it offered redundant explanations. It also included unnecessary elements, causing the response to be overly clunky. GPT-5 created a code that works immediately when saved as no web connection or extra files needed. Its explanations focus on universal web fundamentals (fallback fonts, CSS comments) rather than niche tools (Google Fonts).Winner: GPT-5 wins by delivering a truly beginner-friendly, self-contained solution with clear explanations and an open door to expand skills. Its response is the equivalent of a patient teacher. Prompt: 'You remember I love sci-fi, hate long emails and have ADHD. Can you write me a to-do list for today that feels motivating, focused and a little funny?' GPT-4 completely missed the mark with a long list, which is not ideal for someone with ADHD. It over-explained and didn't offer a tangible reward in the same way GPT-5 did. GPT-5 delivered a concise and doable list. It addressed my recurring needs and truly accommodated ADHD. It turned motivation into a very reusable GPT-5 wins for nailing the design and theme with an actionable template. Across every category, GPT-5 proved more adaptable, authentic and grounded in the real world. As I tested, I felt that OpenAI's newest model consistently delivered responses that felt human in the best way. Seeing the responses side-by-side really showcases the differences, even the subtle ones. The speed with which GPT-5 answered was also significantly model better anticipated needs, matched tone to context and offered solutions that felt lived-in rather than Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Generations argue over who has endured the most tech changes, from flip phones to AI: ‘No wonder Baby Boomers get so cranky'
It's the ultimate digital bragging rights battle — which generation witnessed the most tech changes in their lifetime? A viral Threads post from @iblamekaixin lit the fuse on July 31, racking up over 353,000 views and nearly 30,000 likes: 'THERE'S A GENERATION THAT WITNESSED THE WORLD GO FROM NO INTERNET, TO BUYING THEIR FIRST COMPUTERS, TO USING FLIP PHONES, TO ADOPTING THE IPHONE, AND NOW, EXPERIENCING THE RISE OF AI. THAT'S CRAZY.' Cue the generational cage match. 'It's called GenX,' snarked one user. But Gen Z wasn't letting that slide. '…it's Gen Z. majority of Gen Z too. gen z wasn't born yesterday like older people think,' fired back another. Boomers had their receipts — and their reasons to be cranky. 'And we have had to reassemble our music collections half a dozen times. No wonder us Baby Boomers get so cranky these days,' an older person fired back. 4 A viral Threads post sparked a fierce online battle over which generation has ridden the wildest tech wave—from no internet to AI. Mikalai Saevich Others turned nostalgic. 'We watched the world go from analog to digital in real-time,' an additional commenter wrote. 'From burning CDs to streaming everything on demand. From landlines to smartphones that replaced 10 different devices.' Some are even rewinding. 'And I am now reversing it all. Going back to flip phone, CDs in the car, getting rid of social media and entertainment apps, and regulating my nervous system,' declared someone else. Experts say millennials might have the strongest case for the crown. 'What's unique about this generation's relationship with technology is that they didn't grow up with the expectation that every interaction would be mediated by a screen—and yet they have become deeply fluent in it. That fluency is both a bridge and a burden,' Elika Dadsetan, executive director of VISIONS, Inc., told Newsweek in a recent interview. 4 Gen X, Gen Z, and Boomers all threw shade, each claiming their own tech grind deserves top bragging rights. Christina Muller, an elder millennial and licensed workplace mental health strategist, agreed, telling the outlet, 'We're the only generation to have straddled both an analogue and advanced technology world.' Unlike Gen Z, she said, there was no digital map — only constant pivoting. Millennials, Muller noted, 'know the thrill of laughing with friends more often than typing 'haha' on our devices.' And as one commenter reminded everyone: 'The peak irony is that it's the same generation that grew up with all apocalyptic sci-fi movies where humanity gets controlled by artificial intelligence and robot.' From cassette tapes to ChatGPT, the generational scoreboard may never be settled — but at least everyone can agree on one thing: nobody misses the sound of dial-up. 4 Boomers came armed to the comments section of the Threads post with receipts — and plenty of reasons to be grumpy. neenho_ And speaking of things that make older generations clutch their pearls, Gen Z's latest workplace stunt has the internet in a full-blown comment war. As previously reported by The Post, Gen Z has already built a rap sheet of office crimes — mumbling into phone calls, showing up dressed for laundry day — but one intern just raised the bar. A young hire at an AI startup told their boss they were taking a vacation because their 'energy felt off,' according to a viral Reddit post from the stunned supervisor, who even shared the last-minute email for proof. Supporters hailed the blunt message as peak Gen Z confidence and a step toward healthier work-life boundaries, while critics slammed it as unprofessional and entitled, warning such moves could sink future job prospects. 4 Experts say millennials have the strongest claim to tech crown—they didn't grow up glued to screens but mastered digital life anyway, making their tech fluency both a gift and a grind. Liza Fernandez The dustup reflects a broader generational clash over workplace norms, with Zoomers unapologetically prioritizing well-being — even if it ruffles corporate feathers. whether you're Team Flip Phone or Team AI, one thing's clear — the tech wars aren't over, and neither is the battle for office etiquette.
