BREAKING NEWS Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca is PREGNANT: Nepo baby expecting second child 7 months after arrest drama
The actress, daughter of Clint Eastwood, 94, and Frances Fisher, 72, took to Instagram on Friday to share stunning photos of herself cradling her baby bump.
In a sentimental touch, she wore the same dress her mother wore while pregnant with her.
In one sweet shot, her 6-year-old son Titan stood behind her, munching on a cookie as Francesca turned toward him with a glowing smile and one hand on her belly.
Francesca first became a mother in September 2018 when she welcomed Titan with then-boyfriend Alexander Wraith.

While she didn't reveal the identity of the baby's father in her announcement, she was seen posing with Wraith at an event a day before she shared the pregnancy news.
The pregnancy announcement comes just months after Francesca was arrested on October 12 for felony domestic violence following a dispute with a boyfriend that reportedly turned physical—though no charges were ultimately filed, per TMZ.
According to the outlet, her boyfriend—whose identity was not released—called police and was advised to meet officers at the Beverly Hills Police Department's Safety Zone.
He reportedly had visible injuries when they arrived, leading to Francesca's arrest and booking on felony charges.
She was later released on $50,000 bail.
Sources said the boyfriend declined medical treatment and refused to cooperate with investigators—key reasons prosecutors ultimately dropped the case.
It remains unclear whether Wraith was the alleged victim.
Alexander already shares a 14-year-old named Trajan with his estranged wife Lili Gaildraud, from whom he separated in 2015.

Francesca is Clint's daughter with actress Fisher, whom he dated from 1990 to 1995.
The two never married, and Francesca remains their only child together.
Clint has been married twice—first to Maggie Johnson, whom he wed in 1953 and officially divorced in 1984 after years of separation.
His second marriage came in 1996 to news anchor Dina Ruiz, just a year after his split from Fisher.
Clint and Dina welcomed daughter Morgan Eastwood before divorcing in 2014.
He is also the father of 39-year-old actor Scott Eastwood, whose mother is former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. Clint and Reeves never married.

The Biggest Loser's biggest scandals: Contestants on noughties weight loss show reveal how they didn't eat for 10 days, were left with blood in their urine, and 'collapsed' from burning 8,000 calories a day
Contestants from noughties weight loss show The Biggest Loser have opened up about some of the extreme measures they took to shed the pounds. The hit series, which ran for 18 seasons on NBC and USA, saw obese or overweight people from across the US dropping upwards of 100 or even 200 pounds over a matter of months. Now Netflix has released a new three-part documentary about the programme, featuring people who appeared on the Biggest Loser, as well as producers, the show's doctor, and trainer Bob Harper (although the other coach - Jillian Michaels - declined to take part). The show ran from 2004 to 2016 airing on NBC, before it was cancelled. It was then rebooted on the USA Network in 2020, before being cancelled after just one season. In its heyday, the programme went global, with versions appearing in countries around the world, earnings hundreds of millions of dollars. The branding was licensed for products including cookbooks, DVDs, and weight-loss camps. When its NBC run was cancelled in 2016, it came after controversy, with critics arguing that it prioritised a number on the scale rather than contestants' overall health and well-being. Netflix's new docuseries, titled Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, 'takes a look behind-the-scenes, exploring its cultural relevance and complicated legacy' - and as part of that, previous contestants spoke on camera about some of the dangerous habits they practised in a bid to lose the most weight, and scoop the $250,000 prize. Those practices included fasting for 10 days, and surviving on minimal calories while undergoing intense exercise regimes among others. According to Netflix: 'On their weight loss journeys, contestants were separated into teams and created workout and nutrition plans with trainers. 'The teams would compete in various challenges for prizes - like physical competitions or willpower tests - such as 'temptations,' in which contestants were tempted by high calorie food or drinks.' The contestant who lost the highest percentage relative to their starting weight won the series. Season one winner, Ryan Benson, admitted that he was doing 'super dangerous things', in the run-up to the final. Speaking about his experience on the show, he said: 'This was the first reality show where people make a physical change. That weight that we were losing was real. You can't fake that.' He added that as they got closer to the final, he 'lost all focus about getting healthy, and the focus became winning' - and he added that he sometimes feels he has 'PTSD' from taking part in the programme. 'The final episode was a live episode,' Ryan said. 'We are here live in Hollywood. They were doing it in the same studio where they filmed American Idol. During the final weigh in, i's just so nerve wracking.' He continued: 'It worked out great, because I won, but I was doing what most doctors would say were super unhealthy things. 'The last 10 days, I didn't put any food in my body. I was doing the master cleanse - drinking lemon juice and maple syrup and cayenne pepper - all these tricks that are super unhealthy, just to cut weight. 'At the final weigh in, we had to do a urine test. They said, "Ryan, there's blood in your urine, which obviously means you're so dehydrated".' He noted that the 'one thing' he 'really remembers' from the final is Jillian congratulating him on his win. 'She gives me a big hug, and she says, Ryan, you just made me a millionaire,' he revealed. This was far from the only concerning experience reported by previous contestants: two who appeared in the docuseries spoke about the staggering amount of calories they burned daily while on the 'ranch' - the secluded location where participants stayed during filming. Joelle Gwynn, who appeared in season seven of The Biggest Loser in 2009, said: 'The first week, we needed to burn a minimum of 6,000 calories a day.' Meanwhile Danny Cahill, who won the $250,000 prize for season eight after losing 239 pounds in just over six months, discussed his restrictive plan. He achieved staggering weight loss in the first week, dropping 24lb. This continued into week two, where he lost 12lb. In the third week, he lost four pounds - still well over the one to pounds that is considered healthy - but this was hugely disappointing to Danny. 'That was when I said, "woah, maybe I need to do something different here",' he recounted. 'And I started lowering my calories at that point. I was eating 800 calories and burning 6,000 to 8,000 a day. When I lowered the calories, I lost more. I got on the scale, and I lost 15lb that week. As it went on, I was like, "I need to stay here". He added: 'There is a push and pull on The Biggest Loser between losing the weight, the health aspect of it, the money, the prize. All this works in contrast to each other. 'My calorie count was lower than I think it should have been. Sometimes you're tempted to do things that you maybe shouldn't do.' Danny has regained the weight since appearing on the programme, and says that being the champion, then returning to his previous size was difficult. 'The shame you feel is a heavy weight to bear,' he admitted. Another controversy tackled in the docuseries was around claims that contestants were given drugs. In 2016, the New York Post reported that ex 'Losers' were allegedly given illicit medication to help them lose weight, quoting Joelle Gwynn. A source from the show told the Post the series was 'corrupt', and claimed that fitness trainer Bob Harper and his assistant were giving contestants ADHD medication Adderall (a stimulant). However Bob strongly denied - and continues to deny - the allegations. He responded at the time with a statement saying 'safety is paramount in my training regimen'. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: 'These allegations are absolutely false and are in direct conflict with my lifelong devotion to health and fitness. 'Safety is paramount in my training regimen and, while demanding, my approach has always focused on the overall well-being of contestants as they lose significant weight and educate themselves, for the first time, on living a healthy lifestyle.' In the docuseries, Joelle said that her quotes had been taken out of context. The Biggest Loser's MD, Dr Robert Huizenga, sued both Joelle and the NYP over the allegations that he went along with giving contestants illicit weight-loss drugs, but in 2019, a US District court found she had not defamed him. However, the documentary noted that the article in question was removed from the NY Post's website, and Dr Huizenga - alongside Bob Harper - vigorously deny the claims. No one associated with the show has ever faced any criminal charges for distributing the illegal substances the NY Post alleged. What did emerge is that during the 15th season, trainer Jillian Michaels had given her team caffeine supplements, something the production publicly acknowledged was a violation of its own rules. It should be noted that Dr Huizenga was vocally opposed to giving the contestants caffeine - and in fact banned it. The Biggest Loser's physician, Dr Robert Huizenga is pictured with season eight contestant Tracey Yukich Even in the absence of illicit substances, the extreme workouts themselves caused suffering to some of the contestants, with multiple scenes showing people collapsing - with one even vomiting - while pushing themselves. According to trainer Bob Harper, the producers felt that the intense workouts made good television, he reported them saying to him: 'We want them to puke, we want the madness of it all.' The most serious incident took place during season eight of The Biggest Loser, when contestant Tracey Yukich - who revealed she had taken part in the show because of infidelity in her marriage, which she blamed on her weight - was taken to hospital with a life-threatening condition after one of the challenges, which involved running on the beach. In order to qualify for the programme, participants had to complete the one-mile run. During the exercise, Tracey collapsed, becoming unresponsive. Speaking about it in the docuseries, she said: 'I knew I had died that day [...] my organs were literally shutting down [...] no one really realised how sick I was.' She was airlifted to hospital in a helicopter, where she was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition where damaged muscle tissue breaks down into the bloodstream. While she did recover, and returned to the show, Dr Huizenga banned her from joining the workouts temporarily. That season's winner Danny also reflected on the incident in the docuseries, saying: 'We were all scared to death; it was horrific.' Another major controversy came in 2014, when Rachel Frederickson - who did not appear in the Netflix documentary - won season 15. Rachel, who weighed 260 pounds (18.5 stone, 117.9 kg) at the beginning of the series, weighed in at just 105 pounds (7.5 stone, 47.6 kg). Her BMI was reportedly just 18. The enormous weight loss, and her tiny frame (described by one journalist as 'emaciated') caused concern amongst viewers. When the camera panned to Jillian Michaels, she looked visibly shocked at Rachel's diminutive stature, and could be seen mouthing the words: 'Oh my God.' Writing about the response to her weight loss a year later, Rachel admitted that the comments on her size had been upsetting. She also revealed that she had gained around 20lbs (a stone and a half) since wrapping the programme. She added: 'When I stood on stage at the live finale, I had never felt stronger. I had accomplished everything I wanted to do. I was extremely proud of myself.' Rachel has maintained a low profile since the show ended, keeping her social media private, and not appearing in the docuseries. While many of the former contestants had negative feelings about the show (season two's Suzanne Mendonca said being on The Biggest Loser was the 'biggest mistake of [her] life', some did feel positive. Sisters Olivia Ward and Hannah Curlee, who scooped first and second place respectively in season 11, have managed to maintain their weight loss in the over 10 years since their series aired. Speaking in the documentary, they both agreed that taking part in The Biggest Loser was 'the best thing [they] ever did'.

Richard Thomas dons wig and mustache to play icon Mark Twain in one-man play touring the US
Richard Thomas has not one but two big shoes to fill when he goes out on the road this summer in a celebrated one-man show. The Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee is portraying the great American writer Mark Twain in a play written and performed for decades by the late Hal Holbrook. Thomas immediately accepted the offer to star in the 90-minute 'Mark Twain Tonight!' that tours more than a dozen states this summer and fall before wondering what he'd gotten himself into. 'I walked down to the street and I said, 'Are you crazy? What are you out of your mind?'' he says, laughing. 'I had to grapple with who's the bigger fool — the man who says, 'Yes, I'll do it' or the man that says, 'No, I won't'?' Holbrook portrayed the popular novelist and humorist for more than a half century starting in 1954, making over 2,300 performances to a collective audience of more than 2 million. He and Thomas were fond of each other and would see each other's work. The show mixes Twain's speeches and passages from his books and letters to offer a multidimensional look at an American icon, who toured the U.S. with appearances. 'I'm going to feel very much like I'm not only following in Hal's footsteps, but in Twain's as well,' says Thomas, who began his career as John-Boy Walton on TV's 'The Waltons' and became a Broadway mainstay. Thomas jokes that Holbrook had 50 years to settle into the role and he has only a year or so. 'I have the advantage on him that he started when he was 30 and he was pretending to be an old man. I'm 74 so I'm right there. That's the one area where I'm up on him.' 'It's time for Twain' The new tour kicks off this week in Hartford, Connecticut — appropriately enough, one of the places Twain lived — and then goes to Maryland, Iowa, Arkansas, North Carolina, Kansas, Tennessee, New York, New Jersey, Utah, California, Arizona, Alabama, Utah and Florida by Christmastime. Then in 2026 — the 60th anniversary of the Broadway premiere — it goes to Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin and Ohio. 'It's time for Twain, you know? I mean, it's always time for Twain, always. He's always relevant because he's utterly and completely us, with warts and all,' says Thomas. The actor will travel with a stage manager and a trunk with his costumes, but all the other elements will be sourced locally by the venues — like desks and chairs, giving each show local touches. 'There's something about doing a show for people in their own community, in their theater that they support, that they raise money for. They're not coming to you as tourists. You're coming to them.' Thomas has done a one-man show before — 'A Distant Country Called Youth' using Tennessee Williams letters — but that allowed him to read from the script on stage. Here he has no such help. ' One of the keys is to balance the light and the shadow, how funny, how outrageous, the polemic and the darkness and the light. You want that balanced beautifully,' he says. Twain represents America Other actors — notably Val Kilmer and Jerry Hardin — have devised one-man shows about the creator of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, who still manages to fascinate. A new biography of Twain by Ron Chernow came out this year, which Thomas is churning through. Thomas sees Twain as representing America perfectly: 'He just lets it all hang out there. He's mean-spirited; he's generous. He's bigoted; he is progressive. He hates money; he wants to be the richest man in America. All of these fabulous contradictions are on display.' Thomas has lately become a road rat, touring in 'Twelve Angry Men' from 2006-08, 'The Humans' in 2018 and starring as Atticus Finch in Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' from 2022-24. Orin Wolf, CEO of tour producer NETworks Presentations, got to watch Thomas on the road in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and says having him step into Twain will strengthen the theater community across the country 'It's so rare nowadays to have a true star of the road,' Wolf says, calling Thomas 'a breed of actor and artist that they rarely make anymore.' 'I'm delighted to be supporting him and delighted that he's chosen to do this because I think this is something he could also take on for hopefully many years,' he adds. After Twain, Thomas will next be seen on Broadway this spring opposite Renée Elise Goldsberry and Marylouise Burke in David Lindsay-Abaire's new comedy, 'The Balusters.' But first there's the eloquence and wry humor in a show about Twain that reveals he was often a frustrated optimist when it came to America. 'I think it reflects right now a lot of our frustration with how things are going,' says Thomas. 'Will things ever be better and can things ever better? Or are we just doomed to just be this species that is going to constantly eat its own tail and are we ever going to move forward?'

How to get your AT&T settlement
Millions of AT&T customers could now be eligible for a claim of up to $7,500 each. In March last year, a vast data breach impacted 73 million current and former account holders. Private information, including birth dates and Social Security numbers, was stolen by hackers and shared in a dataset on the dark web. Then, in a second strike, which was revealed in July 2024, hackers managed to download massive amounts of AT&T data from a third-party cloud platform. Call records and texts belonging to 'nearly all' AT&T cellular customers were breached, the company said, reported the BBC. Lawsuits ensued across the country in both state and federal courts. On August 4, the company said that they had agreed to a settlement fund in federal court. For the first breach, a $149 million all-cash fund was established to settle the claims, and for the second, a $28 million all-cash payment was made. According to the settlement website, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas is set to have a final approval hearing on December 3, later this year. Meanwhile, any AT&T customers can file for compensation in between. How do I submit a claim? Those who had their data exposed, from the announcement made in March 2024, are each eligible for up to $5,000 and can make claims for "payment for losses that occurred in 2019, or later," according to the website. People impacted in the July announcement are eligible for up to $2,500 "for losses that occurred on or after April 14, 2024," the settlement administration said. To receive the payment, customers must provide documentation showing that the losses they incurred are "fairly traceable" to the AT&T data breaches. If your data was leaked in both breaches, you may be eligible for up to $7,500. You would then become what the settlement administration calls a "overlap settlement class member." The deadline to file a claim is set for November 18, 2025. You will receive the payment, if successfully claimed, in December at the earliest. 'Please be patient,' the settlement claim site said.
