Pedro Pascal Praised For Flying Economy To Cannes
Pedro Pascal went viral more than once at Cannes this year — most recently for describing himself as a 'lazy 50-year-old bougie bitch.' Iconic!
Now, Pedro has garnered attention once more after it was revealed that the star had flown economy to the French film festival, where his upcoming western Eddington premiered.
USA Today published a video of Pedro boarding an economy flight from London to France, which was purportedly recorded by filmmaker and influencer Lucas Pelizaro. And while acknowledging that yes, the bar is 'on the floor,' numerous fans have praised the star for choosing economy for a short-haul flight* as they pointed out that many celebrities splurge on private jets for ridiculously short trips.
As we all know, many celebs have faced increasing backlash in recent years for their private jet usage. Perhaps most notably, Kylie Jenner was branded a 'full time climate criminal' in 2022 after it was revealed that she'd used her jet to take flights as short as 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, stars like Travis Scott, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian were exposed for their excessive private jet usage too, according to research conducted by sustainability-driven digital marketing agency Yard.
With this in mind, several fans branded Pedro a 'climate conscious king' as they commended his decision to fly commercial to Cannes. 'This man is in the news every day for doing good things,' one person said. 'Protect him at all costs,' someone else wrote.
'Clearly he just wants to be a regular guy treated like regular folks,' one more user said, while others named-dropped Taylor Swift and Travis Scott as they suggested other celebrities should 'take notes' from Pedro.

Randy White, husband of country music star Lorrie Morgan, dies at 72 after cancer battle
Randy White, husband of country music star Lorrie Morgan, dies at 72 after cancer battle Randy White, husband of country singer Lorrie Morgan, has died following a battle with mouth cancer. He was reportedly 72. Morgan, best known for her hits "Five Minutes," "What Part of No," and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength," announced White's death on June 1 in an emotional post shared on her social media pages. The singer, who was previously married to late country singer Keith Whitley, did not share the date of White's death. "Randy has been my partner, my champion and my rock for 17 years," Morgan wrote alongside a photo of the couple. "Our big, wonderful family and I are devastated at the loss of this truly kind and incredible man. I was blessed by his love. Ran-Ran, I will love and miss you forever." USA TODAY has reached out to Morgan's representative for comment. White's death comes nearly two months after Morgan, 65, was forced to cancel a pair of performances due to White's ongoing treatment for mouth cancer. Morgan's manager confirmed to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, in April that the Grand Ole Opry star's spouse was recently readmitted to a Tennessee hospital amid the health ordeal. Mouth cancer, also known as oral cancer, occurs when a growth of cells develops in the mouth, according to Mayo Clinic. The cancer can affect various parts of the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, inner lining of the cheeks, and the roof and floor of the mouth. Morgan's son, fellow singer Jesse Keith Whitley, shared his reaction to White's death in a heartfelt Facebook post. The tribute included a sweet collage of throwback photos of White over the years. "As I sit here in the room with hospice, I don't know really what to think or to say about this situation," Whitley wrote. "But I can say that the recent years of my life, all the way back to when I was 22-23 years old, this great man has been here and loved my mom and also me (and) my sister as we were his own." Reflecting on White's impact on Morgan and her family, Whitley said White "has shown unconditional love to my mother and been the most gentle soul to ever grace this entire family." "As we say our goodbyes, I reminisce of all the good times we have had (and) the battles he has helped overcome," Whitley wrote. "I can't tell you the amount of love that has poured in from fans, family and friends. We will miss you always and forever and our hearts are shattered in losing you. But you have fought one helluva fight RanMan!" Contributing: Audrey Gibbs, The Tennessean

Chris Hughes shares cozy bedside selfie with JoJo Siwa amid rumored romance
Chris Hughes shares cozy bedside selfie with JoJo Siwa amid rumored romance Show Caption Hide Caption JoJo Siwa realizes she's not a lesbian after cozying up to Chris Hughes JoJo Siwa just got real on Celebrity Big Brother UK, revealing she identifies as queer and may relate more to being non-binary. All Time Entertainment Relationship status aside, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are tighter than two peas in a pod. The pop singer and British TV personality, whose close relationship on "Celebrity Big Brother" has fueled media speculation of a romance, gave fans another window into their growing bond on June 1 in an intimate photo shared on Hughes' Snapchat story. The photo shows a shirtless Hughes, 32, lying in bed as a seemingly asleep Siwa, 22, nuzzles against his chest. Hughes can also be seen cradling Siwa's head and planting a kiss on her forehead. "Sleeepinnn beauty," the post reads. The affectionate selfie comes nearly two weeks after Siwa and Hughes drew buzz after sharing a series of tender photos of themselves spending time together after their controversial stint on the reality game show. 'Absolutely beautiful': JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes post intimate photos together Reflecting on her birthday week, Siwa shared a set of photos on Instagram May 21 that included intimate shots with Hughes. "Absolutely beautiful, wouldn't change a single thing. A week I'll remember for the rest of my life." The previous day, Hughes gave a similar shoutout to Siwa in his own photo carousel, writing, "The previous 7 days have been the prettiest." Siwa's rumored romance with Hughes comes after the singer's ex Kath Ebbs criticized their breakup and accused the former child star of "emotional cheating" amid Siwa and Hughes' closeness in the "Big Brother" house. Ebbs said in a viral video in April that "everything we saw unfold on what I thought was a fake reality show, where I didn't need to worry about the validity of my relationship, was, in fact, laced in a lot of truth." JoJo Siwa addresses Kath Ebbs breakup, Chris Hughes relationship During a "This Morning" interview days after Ebbs' video, Siwa said the isolation of being on "Celebrity Big Brother" inspired her to take stock of issues in her life, including her romance with Ebbs. "I really realized things that I was OK with in my life that I should never have been OK with in the first place," she said. Siwa, who opened up about her evolving outlook on her sexuality on the British reality show, welcomed Pride Month in a heartfelt statement on her June 1 Instagram story. "Everyone's story is different, and everyone's journey is different. The most beautiful thing about love is that it's just love," she wrote.

David McElroy and Pamela Drake are not happy with Visalia's three-can conversion. They say the switch is a significant problem for blind residents because the new bins "are identical to the touch." According to the couple and advocates, the oversight is a symptom of larger accessibility problems for blind folks throughout the Central Valley, particularly its many rural communities.
