Steve Carell is helping Altadena high schoolers who were impacted by LA wildfires attend prom
Carell appeared in a video on Tuesday that played for about 800 seniors at six Altadena high schools this week, according to Alice's Kids, a charity organization that works with Carell and posted his video message on their X page.
'Attention all seniors. This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement,' 'The Office' star said in the video. 'Alice's Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets.'
He added that if anyone already paid for their prom tickets, Alice's Kids will reimburse them.
'It's a pretty good deal,' Carell added in his trademark deadpan. 'Have fun, enjoy the prom and remember, this is Steve Carell.'
Alice's Kids is a Virginia-based organization that supports school children nationwide by paying for field trips, prom tickets, summer camps, instrument rentals and more for those who may not be able to afford it.
Several wildfires ripped through Los Angeles in January, destroying tens of thousands of acres of land and thousands of structures. The fires also took the lives of at least 29 people.
The Palisades Fire, on Los Angeles' Westside, and the Eaton Fire, which impacted the East LA neighborhood of Altadena, are considered the most destructive fires in LA history.
Carell is best known for playing Michael Scott on NBC's 'The Office' between 2005 and 2013.

Craigsville native Tony Schiavone pumped for wresting return to Roanoke in AEW Collision
Tony Schiavone is returning to Virginia ― at least for the weekend. A native of Craigsville, Schiavone is an announcer with All Elite Wrestling. He's the lead announcer on AEW Collision, which is coming to Roanoke's Berglund Center Saturday, Aug. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are still available on the AEW website, but it will also be broadcast live on TNT and stream on HBO Max. "I'll be doing the commentary with Nigel McGuinness, a former wrestling star, and we'll have some of our big stars there," Schiavone said. "We're really thrilled about being part of this, and I'm personally thrilled about being here."

The Buffalo Gap High School graduate grew up listening to football and basketball games on Staunton's WTON. Once he graduated from James Madison University, the Staunton radio station is where he got his first broadcasting job. He wasn't on the air at first, instead setting up equipment and keeping stats during games. Eventually he worked his way onto the air — his first break was when an announcer went to the wrong school and Schiavone called play-by-play for the first half of a high school basketball game. He wasn't very good, but it got him more work. Schiavone got good enough that he was offered the play-by-play job for James Madison University football, but he wanted to do baseball. He applied for, and got, a job with a minor league team in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1981. From Greensboro he went to Charlotte in 1982 for another minor league team. There, he met the Crockett family, which owned the baseball team and was also a major wrestling promoter. Schiavone has been a wrestling fan since his days as a teenager, walking to his Uncle John's home on his lunch break from his job at the Craigsville IGA. His uncle was a huge wrestling fan, so the two would watch matches on television. The first match he ever saw in person was in Harrisonburg, but once he could drive, Schiavone went to matches in Roanoke, Richmond and even as far away as Greensboro. More: Administrative appointments in Augusta County come with drama at school board meeting "There was a feud between Ric Flair and Blackjack Mulligan probably in 1978 that really got my interest," Schiavone said. "I became a big Blackjack Mulligan fan." Interestingly enough, his first job in wrestling was when the Crocket family asked him to interview Flair. That led to more interviews and finally, when Jim Crockett Promotions' World Championship Wrestling debuted on TBS in 1985, Schiavone was hired as one of the announcers. "I found that I was making a lot more part-time in wrestling than I was full-time in baseball," he said. "So, they hired me full-time in wrestling, and here I am. I started on TBS in 1985 and just hung in there." Schiavone said he can't wait to see the fans in Roanoke Aug. 9. "I can't believe that here I am, pushing 70; I'll be 70 in three years," Schiavone said. "And I'm still doing wrestling." Patrick Hite is a reporter at The News Leader.

Photos: World's Ugliest Dog Contest winner a hairless pooch named Petunia
A hairless pooch named Petunia was declared the world's ugliest dog at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa. The French bulldog mix, described by owner Shannon Nyman of Eugene, Ore., as a 'world-class snuggler,' took the $5,000 top prize Friday at the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, a popular annual event with global appeal that previously was held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma. Petunia, set to appear with Nyman on NBC's 'Today' show, will also have her own limited-edition merchandise sponsored by root beer maker Mug. The pooch's face will be printed on T-shirts, dog toys and a custom Mug can available for purchase on the TikTok shop Monday. Because of her hairlessness, Petunia requires a daily treatment of coconut oil and sunscreen, Nyman told the judges. Second place went to Jinny Lu of Sonoma County, a 5-year-old pug whose owner, Michelle Grady, is director of the Pug Hotel in Rohnert Park, a sanctuary for senior and traumatized pugs. Jinny Lu, who was rescued from Korea, also took the Spirit Award, given to a dog and owner who have overcome obstacles or provide service to their community. Other competitors included Merle Haggard, a 4-pound mutt from Long Beach; Chula the Chupacabra from Foster City; and Little Prince Wonder, an 8-year-old Chinese crested from Los Angeles. Last year's winner was Wild Thang, an 8-year-old Pekingese from North Bend, Ore., competing for the fifth time. The contest's purpose is not to make fun of ugly dogs, but to show the world 'that these dogs are really beautiful,' organizers said.

Why the internet is still obsessed with Octavia E. Butler, years after her death
For pioneering science fiction novelist Octavia E. Butler, writing was more than a profession. It was a form of survival, resistance and reflection. In 'Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler,' author and college professor Susana M. Morris shares the quiet yet radical story of Butler's life, revealing how the worlds she imagined were shaped by the one that often shut her out. Going from a shy Black girl, born in 1947 and raised under Jim Crow, to a literary icon, Butler's path to success was not linear. She was told not to dream but to get a 'real' job. As she juggled temp jobs, financial anxiety and a society that resisted making room for her, Butler wrote genre-defining literature that has been adapted for TV and film in recent years, and has continued to go viral nearly two decades after her death in 2006 at 58. 'Positive Obsession,' named for a 1989 essay by Butler, pulls from journals, interviews and personal letters in Butler's public archives to illuminate the forces that shaped her, revealing an ambitious and meticulous writer. For most of her career, Butler woke up before dawn to write for hours ahead of what she once called 'lots of horrible little jobs.' As she toiled in factories and warehouses, washing dishes, inspecting potato chips and making telemarketing calls, Butler conjured characters from her everyday encounters. Morris told NBC that in sharing Butler's story now, 19 years after her death, she hopes to inspire artists who don't think they can afford to create to find the time. 'In this economic system that we're currently in, we are so crunched down trying to buy eggs or pay the rent,' Morris said 'sometimes we don't even feel like we can access art for art's sake. But through all the trials and tribulations, she was accessing it.' Butler's journals show how writing was her way of pushing back against racism, patriarchy and other norms that frustrated her and made her feel overlooked as a creative person and a public intellectual. She wrote because 'she had to,' Morris writes. She put pen to paper to make sense of the world and speak back to it. Beyond writing novels, Butler eventually became known for her direct and evocative engagement with readers, whom she pushed to think deeply about the world around them. She analyzed real-world dynamics and extrapolated them into prescient and cautionary fiction. She wrote stories that seem to have become only more popular as time has passed. Her novel 'Kindred' was reimagined into a TV series in 2022, and authors John Jennings and Damian Duffy won a Hugo Award in 2021 for their graphic novel reimagining of her book 'Parable of the Sower.' On social media, the '#OctaviaKnew' trend captures the ominous ways her words resonate in the present on issues like climate change, inequality and politics. Her ability, decades ago, to conjure how we live now gives Morris' students a feeling of connection to Butler's work today. In 'Parable of the Talents,' published in 1998 and set in the 2020s, Butler introduces a conservative presidential candidate who urges voters to join him in a project to 'make America great again.' The words on the page reverberated through Morris' classroom as she taught the book during Trump's first presidency. It's why many readers think Butler's work was nearly prophetic. 'Psychic? Maybe not,' Morris says. 'Prescient? Absolutely.' Morris uses the 1987 short story 'The Evening and the Morning and the Night' — about a community grappling with a fictional genetic disorder — to talk to students about the marginalization of people with disabilities. Butler's 1984 short story 'Bloodchild' pushes readers to rethink gender, reproduction and family. 'We're living in a moment that demonizes transness,' Morris said. 'But in 'Bloodchild,' men carry the babies. It complicates our idea of what bodies are supposed to do.' Butler's fiction never floated away from reality. It confronted it. And it continues to make readers question what they thought they understood. Though often shelved as science fiction, Morris says Butler's work transcends the label, and she instead classifies it as 'speculative fiction.' Morris' immersive portrait can at times feel like reading Butler's journal or listening to the innermost thoughts of a quiet and sometimes lonely person. 'She lived a life of the mind,' Morris said. Out of that life came work shaped by discipline, imagination and a kind of beautiful obsession — one that Morris hopes others might mirror in their own lives. 'I hope that in this world that is often devoid of beauty,' Morris said, 'that other folks can see her example and find the beauty in their own kind of practice.'
