 Taylor Swift's father Scott Swift once had a lengthy rant about the singer and her mother Andrea   Emails from Taylor Swift's father Scott venting about his family have drawn ire from the singer's fans. In correspondence that became public as part of an ongoing lawsuit, Scott appeared to resent not getting credit for Swift's success and took potshots at her mother Andrea. In a 2005 email within court documents seen by The Mirror, he vented: "Who gets to go to New York, New England and every cool appearance? Not dad. Can't fix hair. Dad talks too much. Who pays for trips to New York? Dad. I am going to do anything that I think is appropriate to do to advance Taylor's career." Plus, in an apparent "dig" at Taylor's mum Andrea, he added: "Finally, if you want to get rid of me, please forward this to Andrea." Elsewhere in the email, Scott purportedly penned that only he could aid Taylor's success and boasted of selling merchand

On a November afternoon in tiny Plains, Georgia, former first daughter Amy Carter, now a 56-year-old woman out of the spotlight for decades, reluctantly approached the microphone at the funeral for her mother, Rosalynn Carter, 96. “I chose something that is hard to read without crying,’’ she said. “My mom spent most of her life in love with my dad.” She then unfolded a letter that Jimmy Carter had written to his wife 75 years ago when he was in the Navy. Unable to speak, the former president, 99, listened from a hospital bed wheeled into the crowded church. “My darling,” the letter began. The televised service and VIP-filled pews – three presidents, all five living first ladies – was familiar and somber, and yet marked a brief return to normalcy in today’s chaotic culture of mean-spirited memes and digital cynicism. Death and remembrance do that. In this year’s annual “Passages,” USA TODAY’s roundup of the most notable deaths of 2023, there are lifetimes of such losses. The accomplishm

Carey, known to many as the Queen of Christmas, told PEOPLE why she even loves sad Christmas songs The "All I Want for Christmas Is You" singer recently revealed some tracks off of her holiday playlist to PEOPLE, and believe it or not, the cartoon critters make an appearance. "I love 'The Chipmunk Song.' It's all about whatever's festive. It really is," Carey says, referring to Alvin, Simon and Theodore's classic, "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)."

It’s leather weather. Ahead of her 34th birthday, Taylor Swift enjoyed a night out with pals Selena Gomez, Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry at NYC hotspot Zero Bond on Tuesday, bundling up in head-to-toe leather to brave the Big Apple chill. She selected a buttery tan trench coat from Gant’s 240 Mulberry Street collection, along with the same Sheertex Modern Diamond Sheer Rip-Resist Tights ($99 $35) she wore last week, which are currently on sale for 65% off. Swift kept the theme going with her luxe accessories, which included a Versace Mini Greca bag ($1,525) and chain-embellished Stella McCartney boots ($970). The Grammy winner’s become something of a Gant super-fan in recent weeks, having stepped out in both a navy peacoat ($1,300 $715), an oversized black coat ($1,700 $986) and a shearling jacket ($1,700) from the brand.

BUENOS AIRES, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Argentina libertarian economist Javier Milei took office on Sunday warning in his maiden speech that he had no alternative to a sharp, painful fiscal shock to fix the country's worst economic crisis in decades, with inflation heading towards 200%. "There is no alternative to a shock adjustment," he said on the steps on Congress after taking the presidential baton and sash, with crowds of supporters cheering despite Milei saying the economy would worsen in the short term. "There is no money." Milei, 53, a former TV pundit who shot to fame with expletive-ridden tirades against rivals, China, and the pope, is taking over from Peronist leader Alberto Fernandez, whose government was dogged by failures to rein in soaring prices. "The outgoing government has left us on track towards hyperinflation," Milei said. "We are going to do everything we can to avoid such a catastrophe." While the speech was light on details,

  WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden was indicted on nine tax charges in California on Thursday as a special counsel investigation into the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son intensifies against the backdrop of the looming 2024 election. The new charges — three felonies and six misdemeanors — are in addition to federal firearms charges in Delaware alleging Hunter Biden broke laws against drug users having guns in 2018. They come after the implosion of a plea deal over the summer that would have spared him jail time, putting the case on track to a possible trial as his father campaigns for reelection. Hunter Biden “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” special counsel David Weiss said in a statement. The charges are centered on at least $1.4 million in taxes Hunter Biden owed during between 2016 and 2019, a period where he has acknowledged struggling with addiction. The back taxes have since been paid. If convicted, Hunter Biden
