NEED TO KNOW

  • Jarman has taken up horseback riding in the last few months

  • They spent part of their honeymoon, following their surprise wedding on May 15, horseback riding in the rugged Arizona desert

Charles Spencerand his new wife, Professor Cat Jarman, have been sharing a new pastime despite her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

Jarman has taken up horseback riding and was seen riding off into newlywed life on a pony trek through the rugged landscape of the Arizona desert on her honeymoon.

Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, introduced his archaeologist wife to horse riding at home in the U.K. in the countryside around his estate, Althorp, where he grew up with his sister, the latePrincess Diana. Jarman had not tried riding horses before she met Charles, 61.

She has also added another string to her bow. Jarman surprised herself in taking up archery on horseback, something friends say she never thought she could contemplate in the light of her MS diagnosis.

The Viking expert discovered she had MS in 2016 while finishing her PhD. Several months ago, revealing a picture of herself shotting arrows from a horseback, she wrote, "I’d give anything to be able to go back to that 2016 version of me, terrified that it was the end of my life as I knew it, to tell her this is where I’d be in 2025: I thought I’d never be able to use my right arm again, and believed, like I was told, that I’d have less than a decade before my body would fail me."

"To actually hit a few targets in a trot this week, nine months after my first ever riding lesson, feels like a massive F*** Y** to MS!" she wrote on Instagram in November 2025.

PEOPLE confirmed on May 19 that Spencer and Jarman wed in a private ceremonyin Arizona on May 15, saying in a statement: “We both feel so incredibly lucky to have progressed from being colleagues, to friendship, to deep love and connection. Each stage of our relationship has been underpinned by laughter, and we share a passion for life.”

Jarman and Spencer connected after he was asked to review her 2021 nonfiction bestsellerRiver Kings, and they continued to work together, collaborating on archaeological digs and launching the podcastThe Rabbit Hole Detectiveswith Rev. Richard Coles.

They announced they had traveled to Arizona to marry, releasing new images of their nuptials. The pictures showed the couple holding hands and posing close across five slides, with Sedona’s iconic Cathedral Rock serving as the backdrop. Jarman wore a pale blue sleeveless gown, while Spencer had a dark suit and an open-collared blue shirt.

Reflecting on his happy day, when he wed Jarman on May 15, Spencer said, "A very close friend said to me, months ago: 'The thing about Cat is, she’d want to be with you if you lived in a hut.' Little did I know she’d also be happy to marry me in a desert 🌵," he wrote.

Soon afterwards, they showed a video clip of them on horseback, riding off to their new life together.

The former couple share 13-year-old daughter Charlotte Diana, the youngest of his seven children from his first two marriages.

Their split was finalized in December 2025 afterJarman filed a lawsuit against the Countess. The archaeologist alleged misuse of private information and claimed that Karen disclosed her MS diagnosisin a lawsuit. The case was settled in late 2025.

Philippine bishop and ex-ICC judge lead new inquiry into thousands of Duterte-era killings

Philippine bishop and ex-ICC judge lead new inquiry into thousands of Duterte-era killings

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A group led by a Roman Catholic bishop in the Philippines launched a fact-finding body Wednesday to document accounts of witnesses and other details of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte’sbloody anti-drugs crackdownthat the government can use to prosecute law enforcers.

Associated Press

Duterte, who ended his stormy six-year presidency in 2022, wasarrested last yearand taken to the Netherlands, where he is facing trial before theInternational Criminal Courtin The Hague for alleged crimes against humanity over the killings.

Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, Duterte’s loyal ally and his former national police chief, who first enforced the bloody crackdown, is wanted by the ICC as a co-perpetrator for some of the thousands of killings, which alarmed Western governments and human rights groups.

Dela Rosa has gone into hiding and is being hunted by Philippine authorities, who have vowed to enforce an ICC warrant for his arrest and turn him over to the global court.

Dela Rosa and the brash-speaking Duterte have denied authorizing extrajudicial killings, but the then president had repeatedly threatened suspects with death.

Many of the thousands of police officers directly involved in the brutal crackdown that leftthousands of mostly poor suspectsdead have not been thoroughly investigated, and very few have been convicted, according to human rights groups.

“This is long overdue,” Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David said in a news conference. The nongovernment “EJK Truth Commission” he helped organize will focus on helping victims, their families and even repentant law enforcers to finally find closure, David said.

“This is an opportunity for a catharsis … so we can recover our dignity as a country,” David said. “Ultimately, what we aspire for is healing not only for the victims but also our institutions.”

Raul Pangalangan, a respected Philippine lawyer, who has served for years as an ICC judge, said the commission he will head “was created to ensure that the stories of victims, survivors and families are heard, verified and preserved.”

The commission plans to hold public hearings.

“These things happened because everybody looked the other way,” Pangalangan said. “It is almost a conspiracy of silence.”

Members of the commission said they will allow the government to use their findings to help authorities investigate, prosecute and seek accountability. Their periodic reports may be submitted to justice and human rights officials, they said.

David called on civil society, academic, religious and other groups to help the commission and said a large charity group in Germany has offered funding support.

Commission member Raquel Fortun, a forensic pathologist with the state-run University of the Philippines, told The Associated Press that the task of establishing facts years after the killings would be difficult. There were efforts by some law enforcers involved in the killings to evade accountability.

Death certificates of 13 drug suspects, whose remains were exhumed after Duterte stepped down from office, stated they died of natural causes, like heart attack and pneumonia, she said.

“When I examined the remains, I found that they were hit by gunfire,” Fortun said.

Hannah Berner Goes Full

Hannah Bernergiggled her way to theAmerican Music Awardson May 25. The comedian and internet personality doesn't just land jokes; she lands outfits, and she pulled out quite the ensemble for the award show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As Berner exclusively tellsInStyle, she knew she'd have to "go hard with the look to (try to) keep up with her" co-presenterLisa Rinna, so she tapped up-and-coming avant garde designerErik Charlotte. Together, they imagined a custom blood red corset and skirt that was equal parts sexy and dramatic. Berner tried her hand as a glove girl (pun intended), with matching fingerless accents, and added sky-high Charles and Keith stilettos and the perfect amount of bling. While the "Giggly Squad" co-host's outfit gave Regency era, her glam channeled the '90s via a sultry brown smoky eye and soft waves.

Whether it's theSummer Housescreen, aSports Illustratedcover, or the MGM Grand Garden Arena stage, Berner always brings cheeky quips and keeled-over laughter. And, best believe she had her fair share of what-happens-in-Vegas-stays-in-Vegas fun at the ceremony, which she so aptly describes as "a concert buffet of all the hottest artists right now." She did share some of those details, however—from her bougie pre-carpet ritual to her "raging" after-party plans—withInStyle. Read on for Berner's giggle-worthy secrets as she got ready for the AMAs.

Her 2026 AMAs Look

"I've been a fan of Erik Charlotte for a while, and my amazing stylist,Kat Typaldos, was like, 'Shoot her a DM and maybe she'll have time to do a custom look.' I slid in and we immediately started working on it. I loved an outfit she did for Ice Spice last year, so we worked off that and went with a maroon striped pattern with a halter spaghetti strap bra under the corset. I love the final look so much—I feel like aBridgertonvixen."

The Glam

"Kat sent a mood board to help us come up with the overall look. For glam, I worked withMeg Boeson a '90s brown smoky eye and brown lip. It’s moody and fun. For hair,Shelley Gregorydid loose, messy waves with a bunch of hair extensions."

The Bling

"I’m wearing Vogue sunglasses, because every outfit needs to be paired with intimidating shades, and a deep maroon Vera by Verafied bag that matches my nails and shoes perfectly. My Charles and Keith shoes are really high but surprisingly comfortable despite my wide feet. I also wore beautiful thin Pandora earrings and an Ettika ear cuff. Plus, Erik Charlotte used extra fabric to make custom gloves with buttons to make the outfit even more interesting. Am I a glove girl now?"

Her Sense of Style

"I love to have fun with fashion and never take it too seriously. I love playful pieces that look good on my body. I don't like to follow trends."

Why She Loves Red Carpets

"I love the adrenaline of knowing people are about to see either a gorgeous photo or the worst photo you've ever taken. It's like when your friend would post a Facebook album from a party and only edited herself and you just had to pray you came out okay. Was that too millennial?"

Is the Elon Musk Neuralink-NBA social media post real?

May 26, 2026
Is the Elon Musk Neuralink-NBA social media post real?

A ridiculous parody tweet has confused some X (Twitter) users about tech mogul Elon Musk and an alleged Neuralink format that involves the NBA.

USA TODAY

Hoops Crave, a satire account, shared a post on Monday that said "Elon Musk says that Neuralink will let users download an NBA player’s jump shot into muscle memory by 2028."

Is that real? It's very much not. This is just a silly joke post; we don't live inThe Jetsons. There is no magic technology that's about to put a chip in your brain and make you get up buckets like Steph Curry. C'mon now.

This is obviously a joke; we get the internet can get a bit confusing sometimes, but this is just purposeful hogwash.
