Actor ‘addicted' to Karen Read trial says he invited her to Mass. concert

John Stamos appears to be a fan of Karen Read.
The actor, who is currently on tour with The Beach Boys, said he was 'addicted' to the trial during a concert at Lowell Memorial Auditorium on June 10.
'I'm addicted to the trial,' Stamos said before telling the crowd that he 'invited Karen Read' to the show, according to a TikTok that was reshared by The Young Jurks on Facebook.
The audience erupted in cheers and laughter before Stamos shared that this July will mark his 40th year of playing with The Beach Boys. Since 1985, the 'Full House' star has sung and played various instruments with the band, including drums and various other percussion instruments.
Stamos honored The Beach Boys' late co-founder Brian Wilson in an emotional tribute on his Instagram on June 11, the day Wilson died.
'Brian Wilson didn't just soundtrack my life … he filled it with color, with wonder, with some of the most unforgettable, emotional, joyful moments I've ever known," Stamos wrote, adding that 'it's hard to put into words what it meant to stand beside him, laugh with him, play his music with him.'
'His music made me feel things I didn't know how to say. It made me want to make people feel the way his music made me feel. So much of my life and career, so much of me, exists because of what Brian created,' the actor wrote. 'Rest easy, Brian. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the moments. I'll carry them with me -forever.'
Meanwhile, jurors in the Karen Read trial continued their deliberations Monday morning. The jury began deliberating last Friday. The jury heard from dozens of witnesses over the eight weeks of the trial.
Read, 45, is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident causing injury or death in the death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
Prosecutors say Read backed her SUV into O'Keefe, then left him to die in the snow outside the home of a fellow Boston Police officer in Canton on Jan. 29, 2022. Read's defense has insisted there was no collision and others are responsible for O'Keefe's death.

New York's Choice: Cuomo or Socialism?

Andrew Cuomo resigned as New York Governor under threat of impeachment, amid accusations that the state covered up Covid deaths in nursing homes and that he'd serially sexually harassed women, including a female state trooper on his security detail. 'Killing grannies and pinching fannies,' as one New York Post writer put it. So why are many Democrats now rallying around Mr. Cuomo to be New York City's next mayor? Well, one reason is his main competitor in Tuesday's Democratic primary: Polling at No. 2 is a literal socialist, 33-year-old Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. He promises to freeze rent for two million residents. He wants to open city-run grocery stores. He pledges free buses and free childcare beginning at six weeks of life. He'd jack up taxes on businesses, while raising the top income tax in New York City, state plus local, to 16.78% from 14.78%. The risk is New York could spiral into the kind of disorder from which Mayor Rudy Giuliani saved it starting in 1994. Manhattanites are warning that Mr. Mamdani's ruinous utopianism could prompt a flight of talent and capital, since many won't stick around to be punished. Has Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis considered donations to the Mamdani campaign? Plenty of ex-New Yorkers already are soaking up the sun there, where the income tax is 0%. Rather than hire more police, Mr. Mamdani says he'd create a Department of Community Safety to 'prevent violence before it happens.' What about after it happens? It's hard to know how far Mr. Mamdani would really go. He has been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose platform calls to 'disarm law enforcement,' and 'abolish the carceral forces of the state.' Another thing: He accused Israel of apartheid and recently refused to condemn the slogan 'globalize the intifada.'

Dana White reveals Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall was ‘done' but Jones suddenly ‘changed his mind' and retired

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall was a done deal with the fight being targeted for the UFC's return to Madison Square Garden in New York but then the reigning heavyweight champion changed his mind and decided to retire from the sport instead. That's according to UFC CEO Dana White, who offered new details on Jones' decision to retire on Sunday after he first broke the news during the UFC Baku post-fight press conference on Saturday. White revealed the fight was effectively booked but then Jones made a call to the UFC a couple of days ago to inform the promotion that he was hanging up his gloves for good. 'He called us and just started saying 'you know what, I think I'm done, I want to retire. It's been a great run, I appreciate everything' and that was it,' White told MMA Fighting during a media scrum at Fanatics Fest. 'He was absolutely, positively sure that he wanted to retire and we said why don't you sleep on it, if you wake up in the morning if that's how you still feel. 'You never know what Jon Jones is dealing with and then you wake up the next day [and there's new criminal charges]. Who knows. I don't know everything that went into this decision. It's something you guys are going to have to ask him if you ever see him again … all I know is he made it very clear that he wanted to retire and I don't disagree with him.' Jones was hit with new criminal charges on June 17 for leaving the scene of an accident in New Mexico with his next court appearance scheduled for Tuesday. He only faces a misdemeanor charge for the allegations against him but White had no idea any of that was happening until he returned home from Azerbaijan so he can't say for certain if that played in part in Jones decision to retire. 'I saw it today,' White said about Jones' latest legal issues. 'When I saw it today I said everybody's going to think this is why he retired. Maybe that is why he retired. Who the hell knows. I don't know. These are all questions you've got to ask him. 'We had the fight done. You saw me talking about it very confidently that this fight was going to happen and he changed his mind.' White made guarantees for several months that Jones vs. Aspinall was going to happen and now it appears that his confidence centered around already having agreements in places from both fighters. He added that Jones was going to be paid 'what he deserves' for a fight of that magnitude. While nothing was signed, White expected Jones vs. Aspinall to headline the UFC's annual trip to New York City but then he got the news that arguably the greatest fighter of all-time was retiring. Despite the circumstances and how it all played out, White was adamant that he still doesn't believe Jones was ducking Aspinall and retired rather than fight him. 'The fight was done,' White said. 'We had the fight done a long time ago. Why he decided not to fight, you guys will have to ask him that. 'No, Jon Jones — I've said it a million times and I'll say it again — he's never ducked anybody. Other than that one goofy time with the Chael Sonnen thing, he's never ducked anybody. I think the reality is whatever changed his mind with this fight, I don't know you'd have to ask him that but he's 38 years old and I don't know.' Jones' decision to retire may have been surprising at the time but White keeps the same attitude towards every fighter when that conversation starts. 'We had the fight done,' White reiterated. 'Our job is to make the biggest fights we can make and the fights that the fans want to see and that's what we try to do. But the minute somebody starts talking about retirement, you know my philosophy on that, you should do it.'
