Gov. Lee signs ‘Savanna's Law,' creating habitual domestic violence offender registry and honoring Robertson Co. deputy
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bill honoring a Robertson County Sheriff's Deputy was signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee Tuesday. MARCH: Tennessee could create registry for habitual domestic violence offenders in honor of slain Robertson Co. deputy 'Savanna's Law' creates a public registry of domestic violence offenders. After an offender's second conviction, their name, photo and the date and county of their convictions would be placed on the registry — and that information would stay on the registry for anywhere between two and 20 years. The legislation is named after Savanna Puckett, who was murdered at her Springfield home in 2022. Her mother, Kim Dodson, pushed for the law's passage and testified before lawmakers on the issue. 'Savanna was shot nine times. Yes, nine times and her house was intentionally set on fire. She was stalked and very afraid at times to even stay by herself,' Dodson told lawmakers in 2024. 'Not only did we lose Savanna, he also suffocated her dog.' On Tuesday, the Robertson County Sheriff's Office celebrated the signing in a Facebook post. 'Savanna dedicated her life to protecting members of our community,' the post reads, in part. 'Though she was taken from her family and Sheriff's Office family too soon, her legacy lives on in protecting domestic violence victims for the state of Tennessee.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

It's long, it's hot, it's French: Waiting in line to watch celebrities get out of their cars at Cannes Film Festival
CANNES, France — The longest line at the Cannes Film Festival starts forming first thing in the morning. No one would tell me what it's for. Outside the Grand Auditorium Lumière and steps away from its venerable red carpet, fans fill a narrow metal barricade before noon. Most of them are older, wearing pastel dresses and shorts, sitting on the ground or in fold-up seats while taking refuge from the sun under umbrellas. It's not the last-minute line for tickets; security guards cut that one off when it gets hopelessly long. It's not the line to get inside the theater; that doesn't open until shortly before showtime. Be they too French or simply too unwilling to explain themselves to an outsider, the members of the mysterious line wouldn't speak to me. I asked an employee what's going on. 'That's the line to see people,' she says in a French accent. Not much of a clarification — everywhere is a place to see people. One block away from the ultra-competitive line, I spoke with a woman holding a chihuahua dressed in a pink Mission: Impossible onesie. Cécile Forest was happy to tell me that the dog's name was Savanna, and she proudly brings her 4-year-old pup everywhere to advocate for dogs to be allowed inside more places. The duo live in the city of Cannes, which is 'inseparable' from the festival, Forest told me. 'I always try to make her an item of clothing that reflects the event,' she said of Savanna's outfit. 'So yes, she has a lot of clothes.' I was shocked when I saw the pair again later that night while watching the livestream of celebrity arrivals for the Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere. There Savanna was, held up in the air for Cruise to see. That's when it hit me: I recognized a lot of those people from the mysterious line. They were fans lining up to get a spot behind the barricade where stars got out of their cars to walk the red carpet. As the festival went on, I noticed that many of the same fans were present at the front of the line every day. They weren't fans of any one celebrity, like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie, though they did encounter them with gusto. They were fans of celebrities in general. They wanted to see and be close to anyone famous whom they could see or be close to. Cannes notoriously values celebrity. Even the festival's organizers are desperate to make sure the event is as star-studded as possible. Spike Lee's latest film, Highest 2 Lowest, wasn't even announced as part of the festival's lineup until they could guarantee that megastar Denzel Washington would be there, Variety reported. Concerns that 'real movie stars' are a thing of the past were often discussed at Cannes. In a podcast interview that came out during the festival, Sean Penn said that Jennifer Lawrence, who was present on the Croisette for the Die, My Love premiere, might be 'the last movie star.' What about Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix and Austin Butler — people with considerable online fanbases and major award wins and nominations? Could they stir up the same enthusiasm as the A-listers of yesteryear? I stood in a line to watch them arrive at the May 16 Eddington premiere to find out. I took my spot in line two hours before the movie was slated to begin. It was far enough away that I wouldn't be getting an autograph, but I was still hopeful that I might see someone get out of a car. I stood in front of the Chanel store, making all my miserable selfies look deceptively glamorous. Two hours is a long time to stand in heels holding a phone a forearm's length in the air for no guaranteed payoff. Fortunately, celebrities arrived quickly and steadily. Though I was leaning against a metal bar, there was an entire lane of traffic and several layers of fans separating me from the clusters of photographers standing on bleachers to photograph red carpet arrivals. If I used a selfie stick and held my arms in the air, I could see if a celebrity wandered through a small space between a palm tree and a light pole. To my right, a young boy was climbing on the silver barricade, which made holding still impossible. On my left, a young couple was sharing a vape, the blue raspberry flavor hanging in the wind and smacking me in the face with a regularity that made me concerned for their lung safety. The elements were stacked against me. A procession of black SUVs with small printed signs that said 'Eddington' on their dashboards renewed my hope. Celebrities might be in those! I might get to see one of them get out of a car! The crowd surged with intensity, leaning their collective bodies toward them, pulling out their phones just in case a star emerged. The cars drove out of our sight. Moments later, I saw a celebrity: Harris Dickinson. Not in person, though — a livestream of him walking the red carpet was projected on a massive outdoor screen in front of me. The screen was just tilted enough to make his features uncanny. 'Who are we looking at?' a woman said to me in English — a rarity. It seemed locals speaking in French made up most of the crowd. I told her his name. 'I don't know who that is,' she replied. I listed the names of other celebrities I'd be hoping to see. 'Don't know them either,' said the man she was standing with. They didn't come to see celebrities — they just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. They saw a line and they joined it. 'We just got off of that cruise ship,' the woman said, gesturing to the water. Over the next few minutes, a steady stream of celebrities arrived. Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie caused the biggest stir, approaching the fans closest to their cars that had arrived the earliest, signing autographs and accepting flowers that they then passed onto their security teams. Their smiles were warm, taking seconds to have small interactions with their fans. Some simply thrust the copies of Deadline and Variety that had been handed to them while waiting in line that day. Finally, the stars of Eddington arrived. They all received considerable applause as they stepped out of their cars, but Austin Butler was the only one to garner shrieks from young women. He spent the most time signing autographs, smiling sweetly as an older woman clutched his face in her hand, keeping calm as security prepared to jump into action, then sauntered down the line to talk to more people. Spoiler alert: He might have had more screen time on the livestream feed than in the entire movie. Because my view was so bad, I found out after the fact that a bee had harassed Stone and Butler as they posed for cast photos on the carpet. When I zoomed my iPhone camera in 200% and stood as still as humanly possible with my selfie stick as high above my head as I could muster, I could see a tiny sliver of Stone in person between that palm tree and light pole. It's the blurriest video I've ever taken. By the time the film's stars ascended the steps to the theater, I was physically sore — my blisters weeping and my triceps giving out, though I had little to show for it. The people who sacrificed their entire days in line — and the ones who scaled palm trees and climbed ladders to get a closer look — had fared much better. Athleticism is a key element of fandom, it seems. Still, there was something about the crowd. After hours spent in line, I understood why no one would tell me why they were lining up: Why give themselves more competition? This was their game to win! They were very serious about this fundamentally ridiculous endeavor. Despite my failure, I was captivated by the anticipation of celebrity that made the crowd sizzle with hope every time a new car pulled up. It was magnetic, watching people sway in the general direction of a movie star. I left with little to physically show but fortified by my brush with celebrity and moved by the extent to which humans will push themselves to be close to the rich and fabulous. Line up first; figure out who you're lined up for later. What a jubilant, wasteful, French way to live.
