Steve Kornacki has been a constant presence at MSNBC since joining the network in 2012. He’s now taking his talents elsewhere, albeit in familiar territory.

According to multiple reports, the popular 45-year-old data analyst and election coverage map guru is leaving MSNBC for NBC and NBC Sports. The move comes as NBC’s parent company, NBCUniversal, prepares to spinoff the cable news network.

Kornacki, popular for his unparalleled, laser-focused analytical skills as he is for his khakis, will serve as chief data analyst at NBC News and NBC Sports. Variety on Tuesday reported that Kornacki will have a contributor role but with a long-term commitment. That he won’t be a full-time staffer likely means Kornacki will be free to take on outside projects.

Variety also reported that Kornacki will likely make appearances on Meet the Press and Football Night in America, the latter of which created a huge buzz when he made a crossover just a few years ago during NBC Sports’ NFL playoff coverage. Kornacki has also shared his insights in the Kentucky Derby and March Madness.

Kornacki built a strong following during his time at MSNBC, where his electoral college map analysis was must-see TV during each election cycle. He became MSNBC’s election coverage map correspondent in 2014.

But analyzing election maps and exit polls is far from his only superpower. It’s said that Kornacki, a diehard sports fan who earned a degree in film and television from Boston University, is likely to pursue a game show hosting gig in the future, according to the Los Angeles Times. Kornacki, a huge fan of game shows, apparently got a shot at a game show pilot in 2022.

Kornacki’s the latest to defect MSNBC for NBC. Venerable journalist Andrea Mitchell recently stepped down as host of her show for a role at NBC News.

An investigation into the sudden death of Brett Gardner’s son, Miller Gardner, is ongoing and new information has been released.

Miller Gardner died after falling ill on vacation with his family in Costa Rica. Although the family still doesn’t have an exact cause of death of the 14-year-old, there have been some major updates over the past couple of days. 

One of the biggest updates came following a press conference on March 31. Randall Zuniga, director of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department (OIJ), confirmed that Miller’s death appears to be accidental — and that there’s a new cause of death being investigated.

According to ESPN, authorities are currently looking into possible carbon monoxide poisoning.

Tests performed inside “the room the family was staying” have shown “high emissions of carbon monoxide contamination.” Zuniga stressed these were initial findings and said that the results of forensic toxicology are still pending.

The hotel where the Gardner family stayed — the Arenas Del Mar Resort in Manuel Antonio — has released a statement as well.

“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss that recently occurred on our premises due to causes that have not yet been confirmed,” a spokesperson from the report said in a statement to People. “We are diligently cooperating with the Costa Rican judicial authorities, who have taken over the investigation. We trust that the forensic process will objectively, clearly, and conclusively clarify the causes of this unfortunate incident.”

A second update came by way of confirmation that the FBI is involved in the investigation.

“The entire investigation has involved close coordination with the FBI in the United States. And we must now wait for the final results from forensic toxicology to determine exactly what caused the young man’s death,” Zuniga said in a statement to Us Weekly.

The third major update in the case also came on March 31 by way of E! News. The outlet confirmed that Miller’s body had been returned to his family — five days after he was found dead.

Meanwhile, on March 26, a representative for Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Agency, Juan Pablo Alvarado Garcia, told the Daily Mail that Miller Gardner’s autopsy has been delayed to reasons outside of the family’s control.

He explained that the autopsy results will take two to three months — at least — due to an uptick in gang violence.

“We’re having a hike in homicides as these drug gangs battle for territory and every one of them needs an autopsy,” he told the outlet. 

The Gardner family has not released any additional statements after sharing the news of Miller’s death.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s June wedding is going to be an expensive affair. With 200 A-list guests expected to descend upon Venice, Italy for a three-day event, rumors about where the ceremony would take place started to make their way around the internet. 

The story first started when CNN reported on March 29 that Luca Zuin, a spokesperson for the mayor of Venice, claimed that the Amazon founder would marry his bride on his $500 million superyacht, Koru. The luxury boat would be anchored in the Venice lagoon and the city was prepared to host the celebrities coming in for the weekend, including Kim Kardashian and Orlando Bloom.

Now, the Daily Mail is denying that the superyacht will be used for their wedding day. “The wedding will not take place on Jeff’s yacht, that has been ruled out,” an insider shared. 

While Bezos’ team is working with the city to minimize disruptions during a busy summer tourist season, not everyone is happy about the billionaire’s presence.

The Guardian spoke to locals who are less than thrilled that the wedding might interfere with their busy travel season. 

“It’s going to be a great big nuisance,” a tour guide told the media outlet. “I think most people are of the same opinion. We are exasperated by a whole series of problems related to overtourism and this is the umpteenth thing foisted on the city that we have to suffer. We have no idea what kind of behavior to expect from this lot.”

Bezos and Sánchez’s wedding is expected to occur sometime between June 24-26.

Heidi Montag stepped out in a see-through lace gown — with a Zhilyova Unamed 8 white thong underneath — on March 29. The former MTV star walked the red carpet at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards, posing for photos and showing off her figure.

Montag accessorized her look with silver jewelry, including a necklace from Kendall Row.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the mom of two discussed the current landscape of the music industry when it comes to female artists.

“I am so proud of women in music,” she told the outlet. “And how incredible women have been and really coming together. And the collaborations. I think there’s a big movement right now for women in music. And that there’s no limit and you can be whoever you want.”

Montag attended the event with her husband, Spencer Pratt. The two made headlines earlier this year when they lost their home and all of their belongings in the wildfires in California. 

The former Hills star got emotional when talking about what a “blessing” it was for her to be at that particular event. After it was over, Montag posted a few photos to her Instagram feed.

“I am honored to be amongst the most powerful women in the music industry @billboard ! It was truly and inspiring and one of the best nights of my life! I had tears of gratitude throughout the night,” she captioned one post.

“Thank you so much for everyone’s support and making this possible! Thank you for streaming my music! Downloading it! Sharing it! Adding to your playlist! Making videos with it! Calling your local radio station! Thank you!!!!!!!” she added.

Montag received high praise for her white dress, as evidenced by the comments section of her post.

Along with a solid grill, a cold beverage is a must for maximum backyard enjoyment. A hunk of styrofoam from the gas station might get the job done for a weekend or two, but you won’t regret getting a nice bar cart cooler that’ll last for years. Right now, Wayfair has a great option for 30% off, just in time for the upcoming summer sipping season.

The Winado Bar Cart Cooler is on sale for $120, $52 off its typical asking price. Shoppers have given it 76 five-star ratings out of 87 total, calling it “beautiful,” “lightweight,” and “very sturdy.” It holds 80 quarts, which, when translated to more useful metrics, is 96 12-ounce cans or 24 750-mL bottles of wine.

Winado Bar Cart Cooler, $120 (was $172) at Wayfair

This cooler is made of a rust- and UV-resistant iron spray plastic with a gray wood look finish. It’s perched atop a metal frame with a low shelf that’s great for storage and four locking casters that are great for transport. The lid is hinged in the middle with handles on both sides, making it easy to access all of the interior. There is also the requisite bottle opener with cap catcher and capped drain to empty this thing when the ice finally melts.

One satisfied customer began their review by saying this is a “great deck cooler,” though we’re confident it’ll work on a porch, veranda, or even a lanai if you’re feeling saucy. They “left drinks and ice for two days after my cookout, and the drinks were still ice-cold,” a pretty impressive feat for a cooler. Another reviewer said this “thing keeps ice for a few days in the Arizona heat,” so insulation does not seem to be a problem.

Another satisfied customer wrote that this is an “excellent rolling patio cooler” that’s “super easy to assemble.” It’s also “very sturdy,” with “a nice grain look” and a bottom shelf with a lip on it, which makes it harder for stuff to fall off. Overall, they thought it was a “great product for the price,” which means the even lower price makes it an even greater value.

If you’re tired of schlepping inside for cold drinks—or stooping over to grab them out of a standless cooler—this ample discount on the Winado Bar Cart Cooler is not to be missed. We’re not sure when the price is going back up, so we’d recommend getting one ASAP just in case.
