Jessica Simpson's son is getting seriously tall. In a new photo, the singer gave her fans a glimpse at her 12-year-old, Ace, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gave her a sweet kiss on the top of her head. And yes, he is almost a whole head taller than her already. Simpson wore a black minidress and knee-high socks along with a jacket, while Ace wore a basketball jersey.

"My 12yr old Ace is much taller than is Mama," she wrote above the black-and-white photo. She added the song "Stand By Me" sung by Ben E. King and added, "Fun fact... he was born to this tune."

It would appear that Ace has had quite the growth spurt this year. Simpson shared a JulyInstagrampost to mark his 12th birthday—and he was still shorter than his mother then.

"Happy 12th Birthday Ace!!! You are the sun. You are the moon. You are the wishes of every shooting star. You are the light. You are the way. You are the love that makes your Mamas heart glow!" Simpson wrote alongside photos of her son." There's absolutely nothing you can't do. You excel in every single thing without even tryin'. You're just that kid with a heart of gold that can do it ALL. Everything you do and all that you are makes me so very proud. I love you ACE the GREAT!"

We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."

Simpson has reunited with Johnson on a few occasions for family gatherings, including a"family first" Thanksgiving.

As the urgent search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, enters its fifth day, the FBI said it is now jointly investigating the case and has made an arrest in an "imposter" ransom demand.

Nancy Guthrie is believed to have beenabducted in her sleep from her Arizona homeearly Sunday, authorities said. No suspect or person of interest has been identified in the case, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a press briefing on Thursday.

"Right now, we believe Nancy is still out there," Nanos said. "We want her home."

The FBI announced Thursday it is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area, north of Tucson, on Saturday night, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. She was dropped off home shortly before 10 p.m. after having dinner with her family, he said. Her family reported her missing on Sunday around noon local time after she failed to show up to church, authorities said.

Nanos provided new details of activity after Nancy Guthrie was last seen. At approximately 1:47 a.m. Sunday, the doorbell camera at her home disconnected and authorities do not have it in their possession, he said. At 2:28, her pacemaker app "shows that it was a disconnect from the phone," he said.

Nanos confirmed Nancy Guthrie's blood was found on her porch. He did not confirm if any cameras were smashed or destroyed around the house, or if there was any forced entry.

Savannah Guthrie and her siblings made anemotional pleafor their mother's return in a video message posted to social media on Wednesday.

"Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere," Savannah Guthrie said in thevideo message. "We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again."

Nancy Guthrie is described as having some physical ailments and limited mobility, but does not have cognitive issues, according to the sheriff. She takes medication that if she doesn't have in 24 hours, "it could be fatal," Nanos said.

"Our mom is our heart and our home," Savannah Guthrie said in the video. "She is 84 years old, her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer."

The sheriff's department said it is reviewing possible ransom notes as part of the investigation. ABC Tucson affiliate KGUN said it received one of the letters, which it forwarded to law enforcement. Officials have said they are investigating if any of these letters are legitimate.

Heith Janke, special agent in charge of the FBI's Phoenix office, said one arrest has been made related to an "imposter ransom demand," with a complaint set to be presented to a judge later Thursday.

"To those imposters who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation, we will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions," he said.

Regarding the ransom letter sent to the local media, Janke said the FBI takes any ransom note seriously, and noted that any action is ultimately decided by the family.

Addressing reports of a ransom letter, Savannah Guthrie said Wednesday, "As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please reach out to us."

The FBI said Thursday it is now jointly investigating the case with the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

The agency is sending additional agents and experts to Pima County to help reinforce efforts on the ground and to aid local investigators, sources told ABC News on Wednesday.

Nanos said earlier this week that investigators were waiting to get surveillance footage from the home's security cameras from the companies that own them.

A Google spokesperson confirmed to ABC News on Thursday that the company, which is behind Nest home security cameras, is assisting law enforcement in the investigation. The spokesperson declined to elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

Travis Kelce'swedding reception may be ideally suited for a fraternity. TheKansas City Chiefstight end is engaged to pop iconTaylor Swift. We don't know when the two will officially tie the knot, but Travis says the after-party festivities could have the feel of a rager.

The Chiefs' superstar has a lot more time on his hands than usual to focus on his personal life. Each of the previous three seasons, he was preparing to play in theSuper Bowlthis week. The Chiefs, however, missed the playoffs, leaving Travis with more time to plan wedding activities.

Before he discusses his future in football, Travis has other matters to prepare for. Speaking exclusively toTMZ, the 11-time Pro Bowler assured everyone that the reception after his wedding will not be a dry event. There will be an unlimited amount of his brand Garage Beer for those lucky enough to attend, so much so that Travis says, "Man, I can't even count that high."

Garage Beer is a brand that Travis co-owns with his brother,Jason. With the Chiefs missing the postseason and Travis turning 36, many wonder if he'll retire. ESPN punditStephen A. Smithsaid in December that he thinks Travis willcall it quitson his career as a player. Given his celebrity status, the money he's made, and the appearances he's done, many believe it's the right time for him to retire.

As for his wedding, we don't have many details yet, but Jason is reportedly hoping to be the best man.Ryan Seacrest, meanwhile, has offered to serve as a host in some capacity. The guest list as well, remains rather unclear except for one name.Graham Nortonhas said that he's among those invited. He reportedly had to sign plenty of non-disclosure agreements not to share any further details.

Feb 5 (Reuters) - An amnesty law being considered in Venezuela's legislature that would grant immediate clemency to people jailed for participating in political protests or critiquing public figures won initial lawmaker approval on Thursday.

According to a draft seen by Reuters, the bill would also return assets of ​those detained and cancel Interpol and other international measures previously issued by the government, allowing opposition figures in exile to return home.

The bill passed unanimously ‌in the first of two necessary votes at the National Assembly, which is controlled by the socialist ruling party. The date for a second session to debate the matter has not yet been set.

The ‌amnesty law, announced last week by interim President Rodriguez, would lead to hundreds of people being released if it were to be passed in its current form and would likely please the Trump administration, which has hailed prisoner releases.

Rodriguez's brother Jorge Rodriguez, the head of the assembly, described the law as a difficult but necessary step.

"The path of this law is going to be full of obstacles, full of bitter moments ... we're not only going to have to swallow hard ... but also swallow frogs," he said.

"We ask for ⁠forgiveness and we also have to forgive."

Venezuela's opposition and human ‌rights groups have said for years that the government has used detentions to stamp out dissent by politicians, members of the security services, journalists and activists, charging them arbitrarily with crimes like terrorism and treason. The government has always denied holding political prisoners.

Rodriguez, who took ‍office after the U.S. captured and deposed President Nicolas Maduro last month, has been complying with U.S. demands on oil deals. The government has also been already slowly releasing people classified as political prisoners by human rights groups and the country's opposition.

According to the draft, the amnesty will cover crimes committed between January 1, 1999, and the date that the law comes into ​force, and will be applied immediately to people who acted peacefully or who have health concerns. It would not provide amnesty for those convicted of human rights ‌violations, war crimes, murder, corruption or drug trafficking.

PROTESTS AND DEFAMATION

Other alleged crimes, including instigation of illegal activity, resistance to authorities, property damage, rebellion, treason, and illegal carrying of weapons will all be covered by the amnesty if they were committed in the context of political protests, the draft said, specifying that it would include mass protests that rocked the country and led to deaths in 2007, 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2024.

Those latest marches, in 2024, took place after a contested election that Venezuela's opposition and international observers say the opposition roundly won. The government and judicial authorities backed Maduro, swearing him in for a third term.

The bill would also cover those accused of ⁠defamation if the act took place in the context of criticizing authorities.

The law would lift Interpol red notices ​and movement restrictions against people who have committed crimes covered by the amnesty, the draft said, "guaranteeing ​the safe and persecution-free return of Venezuelan citizens who are abroad."

Many members of the opposition and dissident former officials live in other countries to escape arrest warrants they say are politically motivated.

Also revoked by the law would be public office bans for political reasons and ‍sanctions against media outlets.

Rights group Foro Penal says it ⁠has verified that 383 political prisoners have been freed since the government announced a new series of releases on January 8. It says more than 680 remain jailed, an updated count including prisoners whose fearful families had not previously reported their detentions.

The government has always denied holding political prisoners and says those jailed ⁠have committed crimes. Government officials have said the number of releases is nearly 900, but have not been clear about the timeline and appear to be including those freed in previous years.

Among the long-time ‌advocates of releases and amnesty is Nobel Peace Prize winner and opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who has several close allies imprisoned, including opposition ‌politician Juan Pablo Guanipa and lawyer Perkins Rocha.
