Police in Oklahoma said yesterday they believe that Terry Janway, 68, the mother-in-law of NASCAR superstar Jimmie Johnson, killed her husband, Jack Janway, 69, and her grandson, Dalton Janway, 11, before she died by suicide at a home in Muskogee, near Tulsa, on Monday night. Police don't believe the child belongs to Johnson and his wife, Chandra. Authorities responded to a report of a disturbance at a residence at 9:05 p.m. Monday and saw one person dead before they heard a gunshot and discovered two more people dead, police said. Johnson, a seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, withdrew from the upcoming race on Sunday and his family asked for privacy. Here's the latest. |

The producers of "Wheel of Fortune" have solved the puzzle of who will succeed the legendary Pat Sajak as the new host of the iconic game show. Sony Pictures Television announced yesterday that "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest signed a multiyear agreement to host the show beginning in 2024. Sajak, who has hosted "Wheel of Fortune" since the early 1980s, announced earlier this month that he would be retiring after the show's upcoming 41st season. "I'm truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak," Seacrest said in a statement yesterday. "Pat, I love the way you've always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease. I look forward to learning everything I can from you during this transition." |

No needles needed? A pill version of weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy may be available in the near future, offering alternatives to the costly, once-weekly injections the drugs currently require. The results of two recent clinical trials indicated the pills, which are not yet on the market, could be as effective as the injectable versions. The news comes as another clinical trial found that an experimental drug from Eli Lilly called retatrutide could provide even greater weight loss benefits than Ozempic, Wegovy, and Eli Lilly's own Mounjaro. The drug helped people lose an average of 24% of their body weight, the equivalent of 58 pounds. The next step for retatrutide will be a larger, phase 3 clinical trial expected to run in 2025. |

You may be seeing biotin and collagen pills popping up all over your social media feeds as celebs and influencers push them as beauty supplements for hair, skin and nails. A new analysis by dermatologists warns about "significant risk" associated with those supplements, which have jumped in usage in the past decade. Both are considered safe when used as directed, but many products contain unsafe amounts or are contaminated by harmful substances. The daily recommended allowance for biotin, which is promoted for hair growth, is 0.03 milligrams for adults, but many dietary supplements have levels up to 650 times that amount, the FDA notes. Collagen, meanwhile, can be contaminated with toxic substances like arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium. Experts say to look for products with third-party validation from organizations such as the NSF, which test supplements for ingredients and contaminants and labels them with a blue mark that looks like this.

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Florida couple Dustin and Daniel Johnson are close with their siblings, so they know how heart-wrenching it would've been to be separated as kids. That's why when they decided to adopt, they took in six siblings from one family who had been spread across five different foster homes. One child had even been placed in 25 different homes over the years. Dustin and Daniel welcomed Reid, 11, Amiyah, 10, Izayah, 9, Kaelix, 7, Cade, 6, and Roslin, 3. The children struggled at first with PTSD from witnessing domestic violence and drug abuse, and they often gorged on food because they worried about the next time they might be able to eat, Dustin said. The family now often goes on bike rides and fishing trips together. "When they first moved in, they were completely withdrawn and had major trust issues," Dustin told TODAY.com. "It took months and months to build up that trust. Then the light started coming in." See more photos of the family here. |
