Martin Short's Daughter Katherine Dies at 42: 'The Short Family Is Devastated by This Loss' Martin Short's daughter, Katherine Elizabeth Short, has died at 42. “It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world,” the Short family shared in a statement. On Feb. 23, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call from a Hollywood Hills home at 6:41 p.m. regarding a woman approximately 41 years old. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the call was regarding a possible suicide. Katherine was adopted by Martin Short and his late wife of 30 years, Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in 2010. The couple also adopted two other children, Oliver Patrick, 39, and Henry Hayter, 36. Katherine worked as a licensed clinical social worker ...

 As the world reacted to the bombshell arrest of her ex-husband, Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York was nowhere to be seen. Long before Prince Andrew was taken into custody, Ferguson had quietly slipped away. According to reports, the 66-year-old checked into the ultra-exclusive Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich, Switzerland — a wellness clinic known for catering to the ultra-wealthy at staggering prices of up to £13,000 per day. Her disappearance came just days after her last public appearance at her granddaughter’s christening at St James's Palace on December 12. Shortly after Christmas, she reportedly left the UK and remained at the Swiss clinic until the end of January. Sources claim Ferguson sought comfort and expert care at the lakeside facility, which provides round-the-clock medical specialists, private chefs, and chauffeurs. The clinic offers bespoke programs costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, raising questions about how her stay was funded — partic...

 Before the Execution, His 8-Year-Old Daughter Whispered Something That Left the Guards Frozen — And 24 Hours Later, the Entire State Was Forced to Stop Everything Just before he was scheduled to die by lethal injection, a death row inmate made one final request: to see his young daughter, whom he hadn’t held in three years. What she whispered in his ear would unravel a five-year-old conviction, expose corruption at the highest levels of the justice system, and reveal a secret no one was prepared for. The clock on the wall read 6:00 a.m. when the guards opened the cell of Daniel Foster, who had spent the last five years on death row at the Huntsville Unit in Texas. For five years, Daniel had shouted his innocence into concrete walls that never answered back. Now, with only hours left before his scheduled execution, he had just one request. “I want to see my daughter,” he said, his voice hoarse. “Just once. Please let me see Emily before it’s over.” One guard look...

 My Mother Left Me $0 in Her Will — The Letter Under Her Mattress Revealed the Truth I always believed my mother and I were all we had until her will proved otherwise. It wasn't until I found a letter tucked away in her room that the truth began to surface. I loved my mother deeply. But I never had a father. When I was little and Father's Day came around, I felt lost. My mother, Margaret, would just say, "It's always been you and me, Claire. That's more than enough." I believed her—or at least I tried to. The problem was that my mother was always distant. She cared for me and ensured I had everything I needed, yet she never hugged me, and when I cried, she'd pat my shoulder instead of pulling me close. I used to stand in the doorway of her bedroom at night when I was seven. "Mom?" I'd say. "Yes?" "Can I sleep in your bed tonight?" She never hugged me. She used to say, "You're a big girl, Claire. You'...

 My grandfather raised me alone after my parents died. Two weeks after his funeral, I found out HE’D BEEN LYING TO ME MY WHOLE LIFE. I’m 18F. When I was 6, my parents left the house on a snowy evening and never made it home. A drunk driver took them from me in an instant. While the adults whispered about foster care, one person didn’t hesitate. My grandfather. He was 65—exhausted, with bad knees and a back that constantly ached. But he slammed his hand on the table and said, "She’s coming with me. That’s final." From that day on, my world changed. He became the only family I had left. He gave me his bedroom and took the smaller one. He watched YouTube videos just to learn how to braid my hair. He packed my lunches, showed up to every school meeting, and sat in those tiny kindergarten chairs like he belonged there. We didn’t have much. No vacations. No takeout. No random "just because" gifts. And whenever I asked for anything extra, he’d always ...

 My School Bully Applied for a $50,000 Loan at the Bank I Own – What I Did Years After He Humiliated Me Made Him Pale I still remember the smell that day, even 20 years later. Industrial wood glue mixed with burnt hair under fluorescent lights. It was sophomore chemistry. I was 16 years old, quiet, serious, and desperate to blend into the back row. But my bully had other plans. He sat behind me that semester, wearing his football jacket. Loud, charming, worshiped. While Mr. Jensen droned on about covalent bonds, I felt a tug at my braid. I assumed it was an accident. When the bell rang and I stood up, pain shot through my scalp. The class burst into laughter. He had glued my braid to the metal frame of the desk. The nurse had to cut it free, leaving behind a bald patch the size of a baseball. For the rest of high school, they called me “Patch.” Humiliation like that doesn’t fade. It calcifies. It taught me that if I couldn’t be popular, I would be powerful. Tw...
