Meet The Voice host Carson Daly's son Jackson: the teen is already following in his famous dad's footsteps, and has interviewed everyone from Hugh Jackman and Matthew McConaughey to LL Cool J for NBC
Last September, Carson Daly, 51, hit the red carpet with his then-15-year-old son Jackson at the UBS Arena in New York for the VMAs, and the duo gave everyone a reason to do a double take. While Carson kept it classic in a dark suit, Jackson gave his look an edge with a striped blue blazer, a black tee and a silver necklace to top it off, per People.

The pair may have been stylish, but what really stood out was how much Jackson resembles his famous dad. Talking to Today, Carson revealed how much fun his son had behind the scenes, sharing some hilarious moments from the night. 'He got to see everybody. And MTV, it's like being backstage at an old-school Las Vegas show. There's lots of scantily clad young ladies walking around,' Carson joked. 'I picked his jaw up off the ground a few times.'

While hosting his chat show Last Call with Carson Daly, which ran from 2002 to 2019, Carson met Siri Pinter, a writer's assistant on the show. 'It was undeniable,' Carson told People, recalling how he noticed her immediately. After years of dating, he proposed in 2013, and they married in December 2015, just in time for Christmas.
Jackson's parents consider him very mature for his age

Carson and Siri welcomed their son Jackson in March 2009, and from then on, Jackson practically grew up behind the scenes of US singing talent show The Voice, on which his dad is a host. 'He's really an old soul, and mature beyond his years,' Carson shared with Today.com. 'He's been in a lot of adult situations.'

Film buff Stephen King on The Life of Chuck adaptation, and the one movie he walked out of
Stephen King 's first editor, Bill Thompson, once said: 'Steve has a movie camera in his head.' So vividly drawn is King's fiction that it has offered the basis for some 50 feature films. For half a century, since Brian De Palma's 1976 film Carrie, Hollywood has turned, and turned again, to King's books for their richness of character, nightmare and sheer entertainment. Open any of those books up at random, and there's a decent chance you'll encounter a movie reference, too. Rita Hayworth. The Wizard of Oz. Singin' in the Rain. Sometimes even movies based on King's books turn up in his novels. Play 'I love anything from The 400 Blows to something with that guy Jason Statham,' King says, speaking by phone from his home in the US state of Maine. 'The worst movie I ever saw was still a great way to spend an afternoon.' 'The only movie I ever walked out on was Transformers. At a certain point I said, 'This is just ridiculous.''

A new wave of influencers is taking over social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Gone are the days of Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae , who earned their internet fame and fortune through dancing or dramatically lip-synching to the hottest song of the week. These days, the internet has turned its attention to the likes of Becca Bloom , Mei Leung, and Chloe L. who, youth and beauty aside, have two things in common – they're rich and they're Asian. Skyelar Chase has become a popular influencer on TikTok's #RichTok subculture.

The most recent addition to the internet's list of favourite rich Asians is Skyelar Chase. Here is everything you need to know.

Ex-Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre quits Democratic Party
Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has a book out this fall that promises a close look at US President Biden's decision not to run for re-election and calls for thinking beyond the two-party system. Jean-Pierre herself has switched her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations, according to Legacy Lit, a Hachette Book Group imprint that will publish Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines on October 21. 'Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the president of the United States,' Jean-Pierre, the first black woman and openly gay person to hold the position of White House press secretary, said in a statement released on Wednesday. 'At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. 'I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.' The cover of 'Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines' by Karine Jean-Pierre.
