Ed Gale dies: Chucky actor's years-old ‘creepy’ actions, pedophilia claims surface

 

Ed Gale, the actor renowned for physically portraying the killer doll Chucky in the original Child’s Play films, passed away on May 27, 2025, at the age of 61 in Los Angeles. His niece, Kayse Gale, confirmed his death, noting that he died in hospice care. Gale's career began with his role as Howard in Howard the Duck (1986), and he gained fame for his performances as Chucky in Child’s Play (1988), Child’s Play 2 (1990), and Bride of Chucky (1998).

French first lady's gesture toward Macron draws online buzz during Vietnam trip

 

A video showing French first lady Brigitte Macron “pushing” President Emmanuel Macron in the face, aboard their plane after they arrived in Vietnam, went viral on Monday, sparking a wave of online speculation. The video, recorded by several Western international press agencies, shows the president stepping out of the aircraft on Sunday evening when Brigitte Macron, wearing red, suddenly places both hands on his face, Franceinfo reported. The president quickly steps back, smiles, and waves to the cameras. Initially, the Elysee dismissed the video as a fake when contacted by Franceinfo, but later confirmed its authenticity, describing the moment as a "banal couple’s teasing." A source close to the president told journalists: "It was a moment where the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip, playfully teasing each other," adding: "It didn’t take more to give conspiracy theorists something to feed on," according to Franceinfo. No other news agencies have confirmed the video’s authenticity except Franceinfo, which reported on the Elysee’s unofficial response. Macron also appears momentarily surprised but swiftly turns to wave to those waiting outside, Le Parisien reported. 20 Minutes News highlighted that the images spread rapidly on social media, especially on accounts hostile to Emmanuel Macron. The scene sparked many comments, with some interpreting the gesture as a "small altercation" or even a "blow," while the Elysee insisted it was a “light” moment between the couple. The video of Macron and his wife coming out of the plane shows the French first lady apparently refusing to hold his arm while they scale down the stairs. Macron arrived in Hanoi on Sunday evening to begin a week-long tour of Southeast Asia aimed at deepening economic and diplomatic ties, including engagements in Indonesia and Singapore.

Alex Palou Wins Indianapolis 500 for First Oval Victory, Immortality

 

NTT IndyCar Series Alex Palou Track News Alex Palou Wins Indianapolis 500 for First Oval Victory, Immortality Paul Kelly Paul Kelly INDYCAR Staff Writer 1 day ago Share: facebook sharing button twitter sharing button email sharing button Alex Palou’s place among the legends is now secure. Three-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Palou earned the first oval victory of his career, capturing the biggest race of them all, the 109th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. SEE: Race Results “Best milk I’ve ever tasted,” Palou said on the Victory Podium after a hearty swig from the traditional winner’s bottle of milk. “It tastes so good. What an amazing feeling.” Palou won under caution when “500” rookie Nolan Siegel crashed his No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet in Turn 2 on the final lap of the 200-lap race, which started 43 minutes late due to passing sprinkles. Two-time defending series champion Palou passed the No. 28 Allegra Honda of Andretti Global’s Marcus Ericsson on Lap 187 and never trailed thereafter. “I cannot believe it,” Palou said. “It’s amazing to win. There were some moments that I felt really good in the race, but at the end I didn’t know if I was going to able to pass Marcus or not, but I made it happen. First oval win. What a better place?” Palou earned his fifth win in six series races this season in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, padding his championship lead to a whopping 115 points over Pato O’Ward of Arrow McLaren. But more importantly for his legacy as one of the great all-time champions of the sport, he gained a spot on the Borg-Warner Trophy – the first Spaniard to earn that distinction – and immortality. “It’s going to make Alex Palou’s career, it’s going to make his life, and it certainly has made mine,” winning team owner Chip Ganassi said. Chip Ganassi Racing earned its sixth victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” and first since Ericsson won in 2022. Ericsson finished second for the second time in the last three years, as he also was the narrow runner-up to Josef Newgarden in 2023. Newgarden’s drive to become the first to win three consecutive Indianapolis 500s ended with a mechanical problem in his No. 2 Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Team Penske Chevrolet, as he ended up 25th after completing 135 laps.

Toluca vs América: ¿Por qué son los boletos más difíciles de conseguir?

 

La final entre Toluca y América para conocer al campeón del Clausura 2025 fue la serie más difícil de conseguir boletos para los aficionados. Obtener una entrada para el partido de vuelta en el Estadio Nemesio Diez es casi imposible. La venta al público general estaba programada para el jueves a las 10 de la mañana, pero cuatro minutos antes, Toluca colgó el letrero de ‘boletos agotados’ en sus redes sociales. Hay al menos tres factores que hicieron de los boletos de la final el objeto de mayor demanda entre los aficionados de América y Toluca: el aforo de los estadios apenas supera los 30,000 asientos disponibles cada uno, los abonados tienen preferencia de compra o precios especiales y en las últimas horas apareció la reventa, que eleva el costo de los pocos tickets que quedan. Un día antes del partido definitivo, los precios en el mercado secundario en Boletomóvil alcanzaron más de 68 mil pesos.
