As a reminder, the President's firstborn is also called Donald Trump, but often goes by Don Jr. He's a former real estate executive and venture capitalist, previously serving as a partner at 1789 Capital, and still works as the Executive Vice President of The Trump Organisation. 

Ever since his dad turned his attention towards politics and away from business, however, Don Jr has rebranded himself, becoming something of a right-wing political gatekeeper and the ultimate enforcer of the MAGA movement's future.

Don Jr could be set to follow in his father's footsteps (Instagram/@donaldjtrumpjr Away from the White House, the 48-year-old also featured as a boardroom judge on the reality TV series, The Apprentice, which was fronted by his billionaire father and ran across 15 seasons from 2004 to 2017. It's the television industry that Don Jr has reportedly set his sights on. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, TV bosses are in the midst of discussions regarding a potential reboot of The Apprentice on MGM, which was recently acquired by Amazon. Insiders at the streaming services are said to have heavily hinted that someone close to Trump, 79, would be in line to take over the former host's role if the series comes into fruition. Don Jr previously appeared on The Apprentice's judging panel (Bill Tompkins/Getty Images) An Amazon spokesperson told press: "Since our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for The Apprentice as a property." They added, however, that the show isn't yet in active development, and emphasised that no member of the Trump family had been approached with the prospect of taking over from Trump. 

Despite this, the President was interviewed about the speculation during an Oval Office executive order signing on Thursday (30 Apr). "Well, I’ve been hearing it," Trump confessed. "So we’ll see what happens. He’s good. He’s a good guy. He’s probably good." He added of Don Jr: "He’s got a little charisma going."

The BIRDS OF A FEATHER singer was raised as a vegetarian, and has been publicly vegan for more than a decade. She also regularly uses her platform to advocate for animal welfare. 

Eilish went vegan around 2014, and said in a blog post at the time that she was inspired to go vegan for a 'lot of reasons,' which included the impact of dairy on animal welfare. 

The star has previously spoken about having friends who eat meat, and although she doesn't want to tell anyone what to do, she once told British Vogue: "I just can't go on in my life knowing what's going on in the world, and not do anything about it." However, it's Eilish's most recent comments that have sparked backlash online. Many have called Eilish's take on the matter 'privileged' (Photo by Eamonn M. McCormack/Getty Images for Paramount Pictures) In a recent interview with Elle, the singer called out the 'hypocrisy' of those who claim to love animals, but eat meat. During the outlet's series, Ask Me Anything, the singer was asked: "What hill would you die on?" Eilish then stated: "Y'all are not going to like me for this one," before sharing her opinion.

"Eating meat is inherently wrong," she answered. "And the other thing is, two things can not coincide. 'I love animals. I love all animals so much, and I eat meat.' You just can't do both, sorry." 

However, Billie's comments weren't directed at all meat eaters, as she clarified: "You can eat meat, go for it! You can love animals, but you can't do both." The particular segment of Eilish's interview has since been circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a handful of people not impressed by the 24-year-olds comments. 

Some even went as far as to claim her take on the matter came from a 'privileged' stance.

"This logic is flawed," wrote one social media user. "You drive a car, does that mean you don't love the environment? You use plastic, does that mean you don't love the ocean? You've swatted a mosquito, so do you hate wildlife? I guess you can't love birds, because you have glass windows?" 

Another penned: "Love her bur she's kind of a hypocrite. Also I feel like this is a very privileged take lol." "It is SO privileged, do you know how expensive that vegan s**t is?" another responded. A fourth penned: "You can appreciate and love animals while still understanding that we are animals ourselves and need to eat." 

However, others appeared to agree with the star, with one writing: "She's right but y'all aren't ready for this conversation." Another said: "When you lowkey have the same opinion a celebrity got cancelled for..." Eilish was also backed by animal rights organization PETA, who shared the clip on their Instagram account. 

"What’s on your plate isn’t separate from your values! @billieeilish said what needed to be said with @elleusa and we’re standing on it. If you truly love animals, you can’t eat them!" they wrote in the caption.

However, over a year on and the 36-year-old has been told that her stomach has stopped working completely and that she's at serious risk of 'starving to death'. Emile headed to work as normal after throwing up the first time but found herself admitted to hospital after 10 straight days of vomiting, where doctors revealed that she had Crohn's disease. 

The NHS explains that Crohn's is a long-term condition where part of your gut becomes inflamed. Sadly, it cannot currently be cured, but there are treatments that can help prevent or manage the symptoms. Symptoms include diarrhoea, blood or mucus in your poo, stomach pain, constipation, pain in your bottom (anus), feeling very tired or generally unwell, and loss of appetite and losing weight. Emile has now been placed on palliative care (Kennedy News and Media) Emile consulted a specialist in February 2025 as she was still struggling to keep food down, and it was there that she was told that she has gastroparesis, a chronic condition that means her stomach is partially paralysed. 

She said: "When I saw the specialist he was like 'it's your stomach that's hurting, not your rib'. He said 'your stomach is completely broken and nothing is going through' and that's when I got the diagnosis. "It was fine because I just thought they could fix it but then I was losing more and more weight and people were commenting. 

"While I was in hospital they scanned me and they said if I don't get some weight on me, essentially I'm 'forced' anorexic, so I probably haven't got much longer than a year." By the end of the summer of 2025, her weight had plummeted from 8st 5lb to 4st 8lb, and the NHS have now put her on palliative care as she is unable to gain weight. 

She is raising money to fund private treatment that will allow her to spend more time with her children, some of whom are going through school exams while their mother struggles so much. Emile wants to spend more time with her three kids (Kennedy News and Media) Emile said: "The thought of having to leave my children is horrific, it's unthinkable. "It's hard, the children are growing up and we thought we were going to have all these years, we did it young and it's just not worked out that way. 

"I don't want to go into hospital knowing that I don't have that much time left and not spending it with my family." There is still hope after a permanent tube was fitted in her bowel and allowed her to put on 14lbs, but its only through private Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) treatment that she has any real chance of long-term survival. She needs to gain weight in order to undergo the treatment, which sadly would only prolong her life rather than providing a cure.

The Queen, 78, and her husband King Charles III, 77, are spending four days across the pond with US President Donald Trump and the First Lady, attending events fit for royalty and partaking in a number of engagements. 

On Tuesday (28 April), the second day of their visit, the couple's agenda was jam-packed, with Charles making history with his speech to US Congress, followed by a lavish state banquet. 

But the day also included a ceremonial arrival to the White House, where they were greeted by Trump and Melania on the South Lawn, where four chairs were set up for them. One clip doing the rounds on social media shows the two ladies, both wearing all white, sitting down and whispering to each other ahead of the president's address.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are in the US on a four-day-long state visit (The Washington Post/Getty Images) However, it seems that the British weather followed the royals to America, as it was lightly spitting with rain in the capital. According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, who spoke to the Daily Mail, Melania was left confused by a particular two-word phrase used by the Queen. 

The expert, who analysed the clip, believes that the Queen remarked: "Oh, it's rather wet," to which Melania laughed: "It certainly is." Camilla reportedly responded with: "We shall have soggy bottoms," which Melania apparently seemed to question what she'd said, enquiring: "Soggy bottom." This makes sense since it is a very British phrase. 

It was popularised on The Great British Bake Off to describe an undercooked, wet, or pastry base on pies, tarts, or other baked goods. 'Bottom' also isn't as commonly used for those in the US to describe, ahem, someone's behind, as they usually opt for 'butt'. On Tuesday, as mentioned, the King also delivered a historic speech to the US Congress. Melania was seemingly left baffled by one phrase Camilla used (CHRIS JACKSON/Getty Images) He became the second British monarch to ever do so, following on from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. In 1991, the former Queen - who passed away in September 2022, aged 96 - delivered a speech to Congress which lasted 12 minutes. 

The King said: "Distinguished members of the 119th Congress, it is here in these very halls that this spirit of liberty and the promise of America’s Founders is present in every session and every vote cast. "Not by the will of one, but by the deliberation of many, representing the living mosaic of the United States. 

"In both of our countries, it is the very fact of our vibrant, diverse and free societies that gives us our collective strength, including to support victims of some of the ills that, so tragically, exist in both our societies today."

Would Donald Trump breach royal protocol? Would he embarrass the King and Queen? However, so far, it's all run very smoothly. King Charles delivered a speech to Congress, which received 12 standing ovations, was jam-packed full of playful jibes and left many thinking it might all get off without a hitch.

It's been 35 years since a British monarch delivered a speech to both houses of Congress, when Queen Elizabeth II spoke in 1991. It also comes at a time when the US-UK relationship seems to be at an all time low, with Trump regularly criticizing the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

What did King Charles say about the French? 

King Charles was clearly in a good mood, delivering jokes and looking like he was having fun doing so at the White House state dinner on Tuesday night (April 28). In a zinger that has made headlines around the globe, he even joked that if it were not for the UK, the US would 'be speaking French'. 

King Charles, who also presented Trump with a unique gift during the dinner, said: "You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. "Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French?" Zing. 

How did Emmanuel Macron respond to King Charles' comments? 

French president Emmanuel Macron was quick to take to X to let his thoughts be known. Alongside a video of the jibe, he said he thought 'that would be chic' if the US were to speak French. Well maybe the US won't be picking up the Duolingo for French lessons this summer, but the diners at the banquet were certainly enjoying some fine French food. 

Because if there's one thing they tend to do better than both the US and UK, it's cooking. The Embassy of France in the US chimed in on the spread at the dinner, which to be fair, looked marvellous. The president of France has responded (X/@EmmanuelMacron) It tweeted: "Sole meunière, vanilla bean crémeux, chocolate gâteau, almond joconde, and crème fraîche… the attendees were speaking French, for sure." The King was responding to comments made by Trump in January 2026 at the World Economic Forum at Davos where he said that Europeans would be speaking German and Japanese, had the US decided not to intervene in World War II. 

He said: "After the war, which we won, we won it big, without us, right now, you'd all be speaking German and little Japanese perhaps." Trump's jab at Europe followed his interest in taking over Greenland, at a deeply rocky time for US-European relationships. Tensions between the US and Europe remain fraught, but maybe this little jibe will ease everyone up a bit. 

What was on the menu at the White House state dinner? First Lady Melania Trump led the preparations for the state dinner (Samir Hussein/WireImage) The First Lady led the preparations for the state dinner (Chris Jackson/Getty Images) According to the White House, the first course consisted of a ‘delicate’ garden Vegetable Velouté, with a ‘refreshing’ hearts of palm salad. The dish was topped off with toasted shallots and a ‘whisper of micro mint for brightness and contrast’. 

This was followed by a ‘handcrafted’ spring herb ravioli, which featured herbs from the White House Kitchen Garden, and was ‘generously filled’ with creamy ricotta and dressed ‘in a light parmesan emulsion’. 

When it came to the third course, guests were served a classic Dover sole meunière, which had been ‘bathed in a nutty brown butter’. It was ‘accompanied by tender spring ramps, sweet snow peas, layered potatoes pavé, and a vibrant parsley oil for a refined, seasonal finish’. 

For dessert, they had a beehive-shaped chocolate gâteau with a vanilla bean crémeux custard, crème fraîche ice cream and White House honey. A selection of wines was also presented to ‘complement the menu while honoring the shared heritage and enduring friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom’.

It's the final day of the King's state visit to the US today (30 April) and things appear to have gone rather well. There's been the usual gladhanding, pomp and ceremony, while King Charles managed to defeat Donald Trump's attempts to do his trademark yanking handshake. 

He also made a speech stressing the importance of NATO, support for Ukraine and the need for democracy to have 'checks and balances', while he also met with representatives of his charity, the King's Trust, in New York City. 

One of the main events of a state visit is the state dinner, with the menu curated by First Lady Melania Trump, but one of the King's former chefs said there was a dish on there he wouldn't have liked so much.

Since February, the United States and Israel have been engaged in a war with Iran. One key point of contention has been Iran’s nuclear program, with Donald Trump repeatedly asserting that the country must not acquire a nuclear weapon. 

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are on a four-day state visit to the US. When speaking during a formal state dinner on Tuesday evening (April 28), Trump said the US would ‘never’ allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, and suggested that King Charles shared the same view. 

During his speech at the White House dinner, the president said: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well. Queen Camilla, King Charles III, President Donald Trump, and First Lady Melania Trump (Samir Hussein/WireImage) “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. “They know that, and they’ve known it right now, very powerfully.” 

As the head of state, King Charles III is expected to remain politically neutral. He did not speak about Iran or the Iran war in his own comments after Trump's speech. 

What has Buckingham Palace said? 

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson has now issued a statement: “The King is naturally mindful of his Government’s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”

Earlier on Tuesday, King Charles and President Trump sat down for bilateral talks. When questioned by the media after, Trump said: “It was a really good meeting. He’s a fantastic person. They’re incredible people and it’s a real honor.” One area of discussion in Charles III’s state dinner speech was the strength of UK–US relations.

President Trump and King Charles met at the White House (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) He emphasised the importance of maintaining close ties between the two countries, drawing comparisons to past moments of strain and cooperation, including the period following the Suez Crisis, after which Queen Elizabeth II visited the United States. 

King Charles addressed guests at the dinner, which included the likes of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and pro golfer Rory McIlroy, saying: “And yes, we have had our moments of difficulty, even in more recent history. When my mother visited in 1957, not the least of her tasks was to help put the ‘special’ back into our relationship after a crisis in the Middle East.”

Siwa and Ebbs were first romantically linked in November 2024, and were together when Siwa entered the Celebrity Big Brother UK house in April 2025. However, their relationship ended swiftly after the CBB UK final, with Ebbs filming a video saying they had been ‘dumped’ at the wrap party. 

In a number of recent posts on their Instagram story, Ebbs re-shared the breakup story, alongside the caption: “Happy one year anniversary to her x.” Next, they posted a selfie with their new partner Tilly Lucas-Rudd, although JoJo seemed to be on Ebbs' mind, as she penned alongside: “Sending hate to your cheating ex day.” 

Siwa, however, seemed unbothered, as hours later she expressed her happiness with Love Island star Chris Hughes, posting a sweet picture of him kissing their dog on her Instagram stories, alongside the caption: “Missing both my boys.” JoJo declared her love for Chris after Kath's brutal message towards her (Instagram/@jojosiwa) That wasn’t all, as Siwa then went on to celebrate her 11 month anniversary with Hughes - just days after Kath ‘celebrated’ their breakup anniversary. 

Alongside a picture of herself and Hughes embracing on a beach, JoJo penned: “Today marks a whole 11 months. What a lucky life. Last 'month' anniversary,’ she concluded, alongside a string of white heart emojis. 

Siwa and Hughes struck up a close connection during the 2025 season of Celebrity Big Brother UK. At the time, Siwa emphasized her relationship with Hughes in the house was strictly platonic. Shortly after her split from Ebbs, Siwa and Hughes later announced their romantic relationship and have been going strong ever since.

Ebbs hit out at Siwa in a string of Instagram posts (Instagram/@kathebbs) Ebbs has also moved on, and is now engaged to Australian footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd. However, during her string of posts 'targeted’ towards Siwa earlier this week, Ebbs stated they were in therapy, and called out the ‘hate’ they had previously received following the break up with Siwa. 

“And to all those moles on the internet that trolled me for getting literally cheated on. Therapy bills getting mailed to you losers xx,” Ebbs wrote. Shortly after the end of their relationship, Siwa denied cheating on Ebbs as she appeared on Nick Viall’s The Viall Files. “There’s so many reasons why my breakup happened. Christopher is not one of them,” Siwa told Viall. 

“I understand Chris and I are very tight,” she added. “Don’t paint it out to look like I cheated on you with him because I did not… I would not, and I have not.”

Jackie Lynn, 38, from Norwich, became one of many Brits who flew out to Turkey for dental work, after a drop in hormones had left her with 'crumbling' teeth. 

However, Jackie had no idea that a procedure she estimated would cost a couple of thousand would end up totalling close to £20k and leave her with life-threatening complications and unable to eat solid food.

The mother-of-one had recently undergone an operation to have her ovaries removed following a Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) diagnosis, resulting in a chemical menopause and loss of estrogen, a hormone crucial to maintaining dental health. 

Jackie initially settled on composite bonding, a non-invasive procedure in which resin is applied to the existing teeth to fix up her smile, costing a total of £3,000, and she was initially very happy with her work. Jackie wanted to get her teeth fixed after suffering dental issues from a chemical menopause, not realising she'd spend £18,000 on a months-long ordeal (Kennedy News and Media)

'I was in absolute agony' 

However, the bonding applied to the 38-year-old's new smile would soon start 'cracking off', leaving her back at square one. Jackie decided to fly out to Turkey once again, this time paying £6,000 to get a series of crowns at a different clinic. She agreed to have root canals performed as part of the procedure, only to wake up and find the dentist had actually given her a total of 15 root canals. 

Jackie's shock didn't end there either, as the individual crowns she was expecting turned out to be crown bridges. "I got sedated, and when I awoke, I was in absolute agony," the Norwich-based mum explained. 

"I was in horrendous pain; it was a pain that shot through your whole body," she continued, explaining that the pressure from the crown bridges left her mouth in agony. "The two end teeth were taking the pressure of the bridge and the pain was unreal," she added. "Within a week, I was back [in Turkey]."

After the initial composite bonding failed, Jackie was given dental crowns before ending up needing her teeth removed (Kennedy News and Media)

'I'm 38 years old, I shouldn't be losing all my teeth' 

Jackie's ordeal didn't end there either, as another dentist said her teeth had been shaved down too much and recommended she have them removed and replaced with implants – bringing her dental fees to a total of £18,000, which she had to borrow from her dad. "I was thinking 'what the hell have I done?'. I was so upset," Jackie recalled, thinking of the news. "I'm 38 years old, I shouldn't be losing all my teeth." 

The extensive procedures also came with numerous complications, including a potentially life-threatening blood infection caused by a dental abscess. "All of the side of my face had swollen up, and I couldn't see out of my eye as it was swollen and black," Jackie said, adding that she was admitted and put on the drip while doctors treated the infection. 

"The infection had started in two abscesses at the bottom of the teeth, and then it has spread through my face into my sinuses and into my blood." Jackie has now been left with a set of temporary teeth while she waits for a permanent pair to be fitted later this year, however, the extensive procedures have taken an extensive toll on her health.

Complications from the procedures also left her fighting a potentially life-threatening blood infection (Kennedy News and Media)

'It's just not worth it' 

"I'm sure I've got PTSD. I've lost months of time with my daughter, and I lost my job," she said of the process. "I've just been really down and depressed and it's just been too much. "I now owe my dad £18,000. I can only eat very soft food while the implants heal and you can't put any pressure on them."

Despite the ordeal she's been through, Jackie does not blame the Turkish clinics, saying that a dental crisis in the UK was forcing people to seek cheaper treatment options. "My treatment wasn't purely cosmetic, I did it as I had problems with my teeth," she said. "I think people that are wanting purely cosmetic really need to do their research as it's just not worth it." 

Responding to Jackie's case, Eddie Crouch, chair of the British Dental Association, said: "Dentists are aware that many people are struggling to access care and may be tempted to go overseas for cut-price treatment. Jackie is now waiting for a permanent set of false teeth, but the ordeal has taken a toll on her mental health (Kennedy News and Media) "We advise people to think carefully before booking any treatment abroad and to do their research. "Patients need to provide informed consent for any treatment they have and be wary of a hard sell, as the reality is rarely as simple as it appears on Instagram. "Sadly, many UK dentists are now picking up the pieces when things go wrong."

The royals are set to spend four days over in the states and kicked the thing off with a cup of tea with Donald and Melania Trump at the White House. The president and first lady greeted them on the South Lawn, of course, with plenty of eyes and lenses on them. 

But their initial words and pleasantries weren’t audible to the TV cameras and so a lip reader has suggested the King was ‘telling off Trump’ within moments. 

This visit has been tipped as Charles’ most important foreign trip of his reign so far, coming during a rather pivotal moment for the UK and US are relations between our prime minister and the US president aren’t so sunshine and rainbows. It seems the King wasn't the biggest fan of Trump's small talk (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Trump has lashed out at Keir Starmer a fair bit, having described him as ‘not Winston Churchill’ and branding the UK’s approach to the Iran war ‘terrible’. It’s thought that hope is being put in the royals to help get the UK-US special relationship on a firmer footing. And it’s a bit of a win for Trump too, who wanted the first inward state visit of his second term to be from the UK. 

He was making small talk with the King as they posed for photos in the sunshine and lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that it wasn’t the lightest of small talk. She claimed Trump appeared to say: “This shooting…” While the King seemed to respond: “I'd rather not stand about here too long. 

“I feel I shouldn't be here.” And Trump is then said to have asked if the royal was OK as he reportedly added: “It’s not a good thing.”

The King is set to address Congress during his visit (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) The president apparently continued: “I wasn’t prepared but now I am prepared.” Trump then appeared to change the subject, as he explained he had been in contact with the Russian president. “He wants war,” he is said to have claimed. 

According to Hickling, the King told him: “We will discuss that later.” Trump wasn’t having that though, as he continued: “I've got a feeling… if he did what he said, he will wipe out the population.” But, once again, Charles tried to switch topics as he told him: “Another time.” The royals have begun their four-day state visit to the US (Suzanne Plunkett - Pool via Samir Hussein/WireImage) The president seemed to get the message and moved onto a more light-hearted subject, his White House ballroom project. “You can see right through there,” Trump said. “Right the way through to the ballroom. Would you like to see?” 

And the King seemed to have a bit of a laugh as he said: “I’m sure you shall show us.” Trump appeared to say: “That's right, you're right.”

Day 1: Monday 27 April 

On Monday afternoon, Donald and Melania Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla at the South Portico of the White House. The president and first lady hosted a private tea for the royals before giving them a tour of the newly expanded White House beehive on the South Lawn. 

They later attended a garden party at the British ambassador's residence in Washington, with around 650 people representing the UK and US in attendance. Up to 3,000 sandwiches were prepared for the occasion, with guests ranging from Trump administration officials to retired British diver Tom Daley.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to stay at Blair House, the official guesthouse across from the White House, during their state visit. 

Day 2: Tuesday 28 April 

On Tuesday morning, the president and first lady will host a State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House to formally welcome Their Majesties, featuring a traditional military arrival ceremony and a speech from Trump. 

The King and POTUS will participate in a bilateral meeting to discuss the US and UK's relations. At the same time, the Queen and the first lady will join students for an educational event at the White House Tennis Pavilion. 

King Charles will also deliver a speech to both houses of the US Congress, making him the second British monarch to do so after his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s speech during her 1991 state visit. A State Dinner will be held in the evening, where the monarch and Trump are expected to give speeches. 

Day 3: Wednesday 29 April 

On Wednesday, King Charles and Queen Camilla will travel to the Big Apple to attend a 9/11 memorial at One World Trade Center. They will also meet with the first responders and families of victims in the 2001 attacks. 

The King will then visit a community organisation and attend a meeting with senior business leaders, while the Queen will head to a literary event to mark the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh. 

Day 4: Thursday 30 April 

For the final day of their state visit, the royals will return to the White House to bid a formal goodbye to the president and first lady. King Charles and Queen Camilla will then make their way to Virginia to visit a national park and attend community events celebrating the 50th anniversary of US independence.

The Palace says His Majesty will then travel to Bermuda to undertake his first royal visit as Monarch to a British Overseas Territory.

Reports say Dosio was in central Gabon on April 17 during a guided hunt for a yellow backed duiker, a forest antelope. People and SFGATE both reported that he and his guide came across a group of female elephants with a calf, and that the encounter turned deadly. Dosio, who owned a vineyard in California, also shot a lion as a trophy before dying at 75.

What has been reported so far 

The clearest details available so far come from family members, friends, and follow up reporting, not a public statement from Gabonese authorities. People reported that Dosio died after the elephants charged, while his guide was seriously injured but survived. SFGATE also reported that early confusion surrounded the incident before the elephant encounter was more clearly described. 

Because there does not yet appear to be a detailed official public accident report available online, some specifics remain uncertain. That includes small differences in how outlets have described the final moments of the encounter.

Dosio had a vast animal head collection in his home, including those from an elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, crocodile, zebra and leopard.

Who Ernie Dosio was 

Dosio was the owner of Pacific AgriLands and was described in multiple reports as a wealthy California vineyard operator with a long history of trophy hunting. The Guardian reported that he managed thousands of acres of vineyards and had an extensive collection of hunting trophies at home. 

People reported that his family and friends pushed back at some of the harsh online reaction after his death, saying he was an experienced hunter who understood the risks and that his hunts were legal. That response shows how divided public opinion remains whenever a hunting death becomes national news. 

Why this case is drawing so much attention 

This story is spreading for two reasons at once. First, it involves a wealthy American who died far from home in a sudden and dramatic encounter with wild animals. Second, it touches a much bigger fight over trophy hunting, conservation, and how people judge hunters after deaths like this. This is an inference based on the coverage and reaction described in the reporting. 

The Guardian noted that Gabon is home to most of the world’s remaining forest elephants, a species already under major pressure. That fact has added even more attention to the case, because it places the death inside a larger argument over hunting endangered or vulnerable wildlife in Africa. 

What happens next 

People reported that the U.S. Embassy in Gabon is helping return Dosio’s remains to California. Family members have also begun speaking publicly about how they learned of his death and the confusion in the first hours afterward. 

For now, the basic facts appear settled even if some details are still emerging. Ernie Dosio died during a guided hunt in Gabon after an elephant encounter, his guide survived with injuries, and the story has opened a fresh wave of debate over risk, hunting, and legacy. Readers can follow continuing coverage from SFGATE and People.

In 2001, the actress appeared in a supporting role beside Jennifer Lopez and the Dazed and Confused alumna in the cult classic, The Wedding Planner. 

The Adam Shankman-directed flick saw Greer, now 50, portraying Penny Nicholson, an ambitious work colleague of JLo’s Mary Fiore, who is eventually put in charge of organising internet tycoon Fran Donolly's (played by Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) and Steve Edison’s (McConaughey) doomed wedding.

Upon its release, The Wedding Planner, primarily shot in San Francisco, was described as an ‘old-fashioned romantic comedy’ by one Rotten Tomatoes critic—and it appears that Greer looks back on the flick just as fondly. In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Love and Other Drugs star said that one of the main things she remembers about her time on the movie was how ‘lovely’ McConaughey was. The Wedding Planner starred Judy Greer, Jennifer Lopez, and Matthew McConaughey (Columbia Pictures/Getty Images) “I loved seeing him in hair and makeup every morning, 'cause he had, like, pajamas on and a Yerba Mate,” she said of the now 57-year-old. “I haven't worked with him since, but I have a feeling not much has changed.” 

She also revealed that before shooting had started, the cast piled into the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City to run through the script. “I valeted my car, I didn't know any better,” she told the outlet. In the United States, many hotels, restaurants, and institutions offer valet parking, where attendants park your car for you. Matthew McConaughey reportedly gave the actress $20 to pay her valet bill (Columbia Pictures/Getty Images) The car parking service can often end up costing a bomb, which a self-described ‘broke’ Greer discovered at the time. At the end of the table read, the Michigan native went to retrieve her car, only to realize that she couldn’t afford the $20 bill. 

She said that she rang her friend, Sean Gunn, to help, and that McConaughey overheard her pleas. “[He] gave me $20. I was so mortified, but also, like, 'My hero’,” she claimed. This year, The Wedding Planner turns 25—but would Greer be up for reprising her role as Nicholson? Greer opened up on whether she would be up for a Wedding Planner reboot (Monica Schipper/Getty Images) According to the star, she said that the original still holds up on its own, but that it would be ‘fun’ to see what people did with part two. “But also, like, it's great. Why do we have to keep rebooting everything?” 

She added that she’d be up for a reboot ‘as long as [she] gets to be in it’. The Wedding Planner is available to rent on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

The shooting took place just moments after the event kicked off at the Washington Hilton hotel on April 25, with Trump in attendance for the first time since he has been in the Oval Office. 

The president attended along with his wife, Melania, as well as Vice President JD Vance and hundreds of journalists and other government officials, and he received a warm welcome from attendees at the dinner. 

However, things soon descended into chaos as a suspected gunman sprinted into the hotel lobby and multiple gunshots rang out at the event. Trump took to Truth Social to share blurred footage of the scene, in which multiple people, presumably security and Secret Service agents, were stood in the lobby. Suddenly, a figure tears through them as they rush through the lobby, prompting those on guard to draw their weapons and begin pursuing the suspect.

The president was immediately evacuated as the gunshots were fired. In a post on Truth Social, he explained: "Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately... The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition... I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days." 

Trump also praised the fast actions of the security at the event, describing it as 'quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service'. He added: "Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended." 

After the suspect was caught he was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California. According to sources cited by CBS News, Allen told authorities he was targeting officials linked to Trump in the attack.

Trump praised the Secret Service for their quick response (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) According to Jeffery W Carroll, Washington DC's police chief, Allen was a guest at the hotel where the dinner was taking place. Jeanine Pirro, US attorney for Washington, has said Allen is now facing counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on federal officers using a dangerous weapon.

He is set to be arraigned before a federal court on Monday (April 27). One of the gunshots hit a uniformed officer who was wearing body armor, who has since been taken to hospital to receive treatment. Many of those in attendance at the event have expressed their gratitude that there weren't many serious injuries.
