The Gaza ceasefire saw three hostages held by Hamas since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel released on Sunday, along with 90 Palestinian prisoners.

The big picture: The first hostage release since November 2023 saw Israelis Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher and dual British-Israeli national Emily Damar freed, while Israel released a group of prisoners mostly comprising women and minors in the first hostage-for-prisoner swaps to occur since the ceasefire began Sunday.

Millions of people across the country are expected to tune in to President-elect Trump's second inauguration ceremony. Television networks, online publications and social media outlets are preparing for the big event. The way inaugurations have been presented to the public has changed drastically over the years.

"We must think big and dream even bigger," Trump said during his first inaugural address in 2017.

Tens of millions of people watched his first address in real time – both on television and through online streaming. But inaugural addresses and analysis of the speeches were not always available immediately. In 1789, when George Washington was sworn in for the first time, his speech was not available to the public until several days later.

TRUMP NAMES LATEST CABINET PICKS AS JAN. 20 INAUGURATION NEARS

Thomas Jefferson became the first president to have his inauguration speech printed in a newspaper the same day he gave his address in 1801. The National Intelligencer printed the speech on the morning of Jefferson’s inauguration.

James Polk was the first president to have his address reported by telegraph. It was also the first time a speech was shown in a newspaper illustration, by the Illustrated London News.

Drawings were the main visual for inaugurations for another 12 years, until photography became more frequently used. James Buchanan was the first president to have a photograph taken at his swearing-in. Another 40 years later, video was used to record inaugurations for the public.

William McKinley was the first president to appear on a movie camera during his inaugural address in 1901. Only silent films were available then, but that would change over the years as inaugural addresses began to incorporate audio.

In 1921, Warren Harding was the first to use loudspeakers to address the crowd attending his inauguration in person. Four years later, Calvin Coolidge was the first to have his inaugural broadcast nationally by radio. The White House Historical Association estimates his 1925 address reached more than 23 million radio listeners. Herbert Hoover gave the first multimedia inaugural. His 1929 address was the first recorded on a talking newsreel.

"It is a dedication and consecration under God to the highest office in service of our people," Hoover said during his address.

After World War II, an increasing number of Americans bought television sets for their homes. By 1949, almost all major cities had at least one local television station, and 4.2 million American homes had TV sets. Harry Truman became the first president to have his inauguration broadcast live that year. More than a decade later, John F. Kennedy had his address broadcast in color for the estimated 500,000 Americans who had color television sets.

"Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country," Kennedy famously said during his inauguration speech.

Ronald Reagan sought to bring the pageantry of inauguration events to Americans across the country. His inaugural committee hosted around 100 satellite inaugural balls that were broadcast in 32 cities.

"Almost 200 years ago, at the first inaugural, people came by stagecoach. This time, people all over America, millions of people, are attending this one by satellite," Reagan said during a ball at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

More than a decade later, Bill Clinton’s second inauguration in 1997 was available on the internet via livestream. Clinton had signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 just a year before at the Library of Congress.

"Ten years ago, the internet was the mystical province of physicists; today, it is a commonplace encyclopedia for millions of schoolchildren," Clinton said during his inaugural address. "As we look back at this remarkable century, we may ask, ‘Can we hope not just to follow, but even to surpass the achievements of the 20th century in America?'"

With the growth of the internet, social media use also expanded.

"We have always understood that when times change, so must we," Barack Obama said at his second inaugural address in 2013.

Obama was the first president to join Twitter. His 2013 address generated more than 1 million tweets. According to Pew Research, around 51% of Americans owned a smartphone at the time. When Trump was sworn into office in 2017, that percentage rose to 77%. Cellphone carriers installed extracellular antennas ahead of the address for the massive crowd that would be sharing photos and videos from the day’s events on social media.

When Joe Biden gave his address in 2021, his inaugural committee relied on technology for nearly every aspect of the event. The coronavirus pandemic forced much of Biden’s festivities to move online.

"The world is watching all of us today. So, here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested, and we have come out stronger for it," Biden said during his address.

Rami Malek and partner Emma Corrin intentionally keep their romance relatively private, but it appears that they are still going strong.

“That person [is] fascinating,” Malek, 43, gushed to The Guardian in a profile published on Saturday, January 18, when asked about dating Corrin, 29.

According to the outlet, Malek declined to offer details about their romance besides referring to The Crown alum as “Em” or “My Person.” The reporter then described Corrin — who uses they/them pronouns — as smart and quirky, to which Malek concurred.

“We like quirky,” Malek quipped and while flashing a reported half-smile.

Rami Malek Spotted With Emma Corrin After Reported Lucy Boynton Split

The Oscar winner also told the journalist that Corrin even threw him a surprise dinner for Thanksgiving 2024, of which he was reportedly “blown away.”

Malek and Corrin were first romantically linked in July 2023 when they were spotted together at Bruce Springsteen’s concert in London. The following September, the pair were seen kissing on another date in the British capital city.

Prior to his romance with Corrin, Malek dated Bohemian Rhapsody costar Lucy Boynton for nearly five years. He’s also gotten candid about his future romantic hopes.

“I’m in my mid-30s going through these, kind of, existential questions about who I am and what I’m doing here and if I’m supposed to be fulfilling some type of destiny,” Malek said during an October 2016 interview with TheWrap. “[I’m questioning] the work I’m doing or should I be a family man by now?”

He added, “I saw this guy [in Buster’s Mal Heart] who had a family and had this idea of what it was to love that family and give them everything, but also wanted a sense of freedom. … The question arose if those two things can coexist in equilibrium. If you can really have something as fierce as love and freedom at the same time or is it a paradox?”

Corrin, for their part, has been outspoken about their sexuality.

“In my mind, gender just isn’t something that feels fixed and I don’t know if it ever will be; there might always be some fluidity there for me,” Corrin told Vogue in August 2022, declining to label their sexuality. “I like people. … My first date with a girl, they were like, ‘Oh! You’re a baby queer!’ It was amazing. We actually didn’t end up seeing each other again, but she really gave me the lowdown.”

They continued, “I’m working out all this complex gender and sexuality stuff. And yet, I’m seeing a guy? That feels very juxtaposed, even if I’m very happy.””

Halsey is reflecting on their two year transformation following their health diagnosis.

“Hey. I just wanna say; I looked and felt like this two years ago and every step forward I have come since then is a miracle,” Halsey, 30, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 18. (Halsey goes by she/they pronouns.)

Halsey shared a series of recent photos, showing the singer holding up an iPhone revealing a selfie of her from two years ago. In two of the pictures taken recently, Halsey smiled and laughed as they held up the previous image.

“I’m figuring it out on my own time, thank you to everyone who has been along for the ride,” Halsey continued. “Also I’m cute as f— now, so that’s great. .”

Halsey shared in June 2024 that she was “lucky to be alive” following a secret health battle. Halsey explained that her health scare inspired new song “The End.”

“Every couple of years now, a doctor says I’m sick / Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks / and then they lay it on me,” Halsey sings. “And at first, it was my brain / then a skeleton in pain / And I don’t like to complain, but I’m saying sorry.”

She continues, “When I met you, I said I would never die / But the joke was always mine ’cause I’m racing against time / And I know it’s not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8? / ‘Cause my treatment starts today.”

Hours later, Halsey shared that they had been diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder two years before. “Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life,” Halsey wrote via Instagram at the time.

She continued, “After a rocky start, I slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors. After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to.”

Halsey shared that she was grateful for her fans supporting the song. “Thank you guys for the unbelievable amount of love for ‘The End’ and the support you’ve shown me since its release,” Halsey concluded. “I realize everyone is catching up with news I’ve held in for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share.”

Halsey gushed that she “can’t wait to get back where [they] belong” and perform for fans again.

TikTok is “restoring service” to users in the United States following a brief ‘blackout,’ the app announced on Sunday, January 19 via a statement shared on social media. “In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service.”

“We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive,” the statement continued. “It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.”

On Friday, January 17 the Supreme Court issued an unanimous ruling to uphold the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which banned the app nationwide.

“I join all but Part II.A of the Court’s per curiam opinion. I see no reason to assume without deciding that the Act implicates the First Amendment because our precedent leaves no doubt that it does,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayer in her judgment. “TikTok engages in expressive activity by ‘compiling and curating’ material on its platform.”

The app stopped working for users in the United States a few hours before midnight on Saturday, January 18. Prior to and in the few hours during the black out, numerous celebrities spoke out about the ban. 

Singer Kesha jokingly reminded her followers that her hit 2010 single “Tik Tok” would always be available for them no matter what happened to the app by the same name. In a video shared via Instagram on Saturday, January 18, the singer wore a black hoodie and closed her eyes while part of her 2010 hit song played. Over the video, she wrote, “TikTok may be temporary, but TiK ToK is forever,” adding both a peace sign and black heart emoji. The song was an instant hit when it debuted, spending nine weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

Kylie Kelce also commented on the looming ban. “There’s something that’s been weighing on me heavily over the past few days,” Kelce said on the January 16 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “It looks like my favorite app, TikTok, might actually be going away for good. Hopefully, it doesn’t, and I can doom-scroll until the end of time. But, just in case, I want to properly pour one out for TikTok.”

“I think everyone loses,” Marc D’Amelio said in ABC News Studios’ IMPACT x Nightline special from May 2024. “I think small business loses. I think the politicians lose also.”

Marc and his wife, Heidi D’Amelio, are the parents to social media mavens Dixie and Charli, whose online dances went viral in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“We didn’t call ourselves the first family of TikTok,” Marc, 56, added in the ABC News special. “It’s hard to believe that many people sat and watched a video. I think the ability to turn someone who’s obscure into an overnight, famous person, I don’t think there’s any other platform like that.”

Rami Malek claimed that he was once suspected of an alleged crime because authorities allegedly believed he “fit the description.”

“I got thrown on the bonnet of an [Los Angeles Police Department] cop car because someone had robbed a liquor store and stolen a woman’s bag,” the Oscar winner, 43, alleged in a Guardian profile published on Saturday, January 18. “They said the [thief] was of Latin descent and, ‘You fit the description.’”

He added, “I remember how hot that engine was, they must have been racing over there and it was almost burning my hands. My friend, who was Caucasian, was clever enough to go, ‘Actually, sir, he’s Egyptian. Not Latin.’ I remember laughing on the cop car, thinking, ‘OK, this is a very precarious situation. I may well be going to jail for something I’ve not done.’”

Malek is Egyptian-American, whose parents immigrated from Cairo before he was born. In the Guardian profile, Malek did not offer further details about the alleged police incident or when it seemingly occurred. The LAPD has not spoken out about the reported encounter. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

Malek, meanwhile, has allegedly faced similar incidents of mistaken identity due to his background.

“It’s difficult enough traveling. Don’t make it harder,” he told the British outlet. “I started to think, ‘What is happening?’ every time I tried to enter a country. These days, there might be a moment. Then they’ll go, ‘Nah, that’s the guy from Bohemian Rhapsody. Let him through.’”

Malek, who won an Oscar for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, grew up in L.A. with his parents and twin brother Sami. Their Middle Eastern heritage was always apparent to the siblings.

“I don’t know how you ever get over that. I’m what’s called ‘white-passing,’ but I have very distinctive features, and we definitely didn’t fit in,” Malek recalled to The Guardian. “We just had an uncanny way of sensing people. … I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse. Sometimes I find it detrimental. You can’t help it.”

Malek is also aware of how hard his parents worked to provide for the twins.

“The school system in Los Angeles was not great. She would handwrite these long letters in blue fountain pen explaining our situation. She’d say, ‘I’m going to give my kids every opportunity possible,’” Malek said. “I would hear stories about her being pregnant with my brother and me, and taking three buses — three different buses — to get to work and back.”

Brittany Mahomes slayed her sideline style at the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game — one week after giving birth! — due in part to a killer glam squad.

“@LauraBethArtistry and @RPArtistryKC [thanks for] bringing me back to life and making me feel human again,” Mahomes, 29, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 19. “Love y’all.”

Mahomes also reposted stylist Laurabeth Cabott’s photo of the look, which she set to Sexyy Red’s song “She’s Back.”

Brittany wore her hair in long, bouncy curls to husband Patrick’s Saturday, January 18, playoff game. She completed her look with blush-colored makeup.

Brittany also served serious flair with her game day ‘fit, opting for a cinched, beige puffer coat with “15” stitched on the pockets in an ode to Patrick’s jersey number. She paired the jacket with a camel-colored sweater and red trousers that matched her Miu Miu handbag.

Exactly one week earlier, Brittany gave birth to the couple’s daughter Golden. They also share children Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 2.

Brittany took the eldest kids to watch Patrick’s game against the Houston Texans. The Chiefs ultimately won 23-14, securing a place in the AFC Championship.

“These are moments I’ll have with my family for the rest of my life,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick, 29, gushed to reporters after the game. “It’s a growing family, but [I] hope we are done growing for a little while. It’s cool that I’m able to play in these big games and the Kansas City community has brought me in to be a part of their family.”

Brittany, Sterling and Bronze were accompanied in the Arrowhead Stadium stands by Patrick’s mom, Randi Mahomes.

“[My mom is] Grandi, that’s what she calls herself,” Patrick added during the press conference. “Our kids love her and she’s been an instrumental part of my entire life in taking me to those baseball games. … Those are the things that you’ll forever remember. She’s here today, and I’m sure will be ready to take care of those grandkids tonight.”

Shifting Gears star Kat Dennings reflected on her time working with Bob Saget three years after his death.

Dennings, 38, said Saget was “lovely” to work with and remembered his “protective” nature in an interview with People published on Saturday, January 19.

The pair worked together in 2001, when Dennings was 15 and Saget was 44. They played father-daughter duo Matt and Sarah Stewart on the show Raising Dad, which ran for one season.

“God bless him. I’m so sad that he’s gone,” Dennings continued.

“What I remember was he was very protective of me because I was a young actress and he had daughters. So he was very sweet to me and very protective and very kind,” she added. “I only remember very, very nice memories of him.”

Saget was best known for playing Danny Tanner on Full House from 1987 until 1995, and later reprised the role on Fuller House from 2016 until 2020. He also notably voiced Ted in How I Met Your Mother and hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos for nearly 200 episodes.

Saget unexpectedly died on January 9, 2022 at the age of 65. His cause of death was later revealed to be blunt head trauma after an unwitnessed fall.

Dennings’ recent interview isn’t the first time she has addressed Saget’s death.

When news of the star’s death first broke, Dennings paid tribute on social media. She wrote on Twitter, now X: “Oh god. Bob Saget!!! The loveliest man.”

“I was his TV daughter for one season and he was always so kind and protective. So so sorry for his family,” she added.

Since working with Saget, Dennings has gone on to enjoy notable roles in TV and film. She played Max Black in the sitcom 2 Broke Girls, which ran from 2011 until 2017, before going on to star as Darcy Lewis in the Thor movies and WandaVision.

Tim Allen Lays Down the Law With Kat Dennings in 'Shifting Gears' Trailer

More recently, Dennings stars opposite Tim Allen in the new sitcom Shifting Gears. Speaking to Us Weekly earlier this month, Dennings said she had an “instant” connection with Allen, who plays her dad on the show.

“For some reason it worked pretty immediately — maybe because I’ve grown up watching him for so much of my life, but it just worked. It felt very organic,” she recalled.

“And as [filming has] progressed, our scenes are so funny, if I do say so myself. The arguments are my favorite scenes to play because I have no fear. There’s no fear for either of us. We just absolutely go for it and it’s so much fun.”
