Camila Cabello drops video for ‘He Knows’ featuring Lil Nas X

Camila Cabello at the 30th Vanity Fair Oscar Party. LOS ANGELES^ USA. March 10^ 2024

Camila Cabello dropped the official video for “He Knows” featuring Lil Nas X. Directed by Onda (Big Sean, Dukwrth, JID/J Cole), the clip features ‘a provocative dancefloor battle between friends vying for the attention of a mutual love interest.’ Camila shares that Lil Nas X is a “low-key comedian. He was just making me laugh so hard. It makes sense that he is successful because he has pushed the culture forward in so many ways.”

Cabello recently told Rolling Stone of her new album: “This is the best project I’ve ever made, and I have never been so proud of a body of work. It’s just such a world. My favorite albums are when I really get to live in a lyric or live in an aesthetic of an album.”

Regarding the video for ‘He Knows,’ Camila said: “I’ve just never seen that in a video before. I just loved the idea of us fighting over this fluid guy, who we don’t know which way he’s leaning. We both would have so much fun with this and have so much fun with the video, so we got to make it a reality … we had this stunt coordinator at rehearsals. It’s always hard to even fake fight with your friends because you’re like, ‘Oh, I got to get into my acting bag, and I might kind of do some damage. And he’s tall as hell, so even getting on his shoulder took me a couple of times. But it was fun.”

“He Knows’ is taken off Camila’s new album, C,XOXO,   To celebrate the release of the album, Cabello is set to perform at this year’s Rock In Rio Lisboa on June 23rd, and the UK’s famed Glastonbury Festival on June 26th.

FDA reverses ban which took Juul vaping products off the market in the U.S.

Selection of the popular Juul brand vaping supplies on display in the window of a vaping store in New York

The US Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday it had rescinded marketing denial orders for vaping products from Juul Labs Inc., stating it has not yet decided whether the products will ultimately stay on the market. The FDA action focuses on importation, distribution and sales, not individual use, and it “cannot and will not enforce against individual consumer possession or use of JUUL products or any other tobacco products.” Juul said Thursday its products will remain on the market during scientific review.

The FDA issued a marketing ban on Juul products back in 2022, including devices and tobacco and menthol-flavored pods. The marketing denial order was stayed weeks later as “scientific issues warranted additional review,” but had not been rescinded. The FDA added that it reviewed the company’s premarket tobacco product applications and determined some of Juul Labs’ study findings had “insufficient and conflicting data – including regarding genotoxicity and potentially harmful chemicals leaching from the company’s proprietary e-liquid pods – that have not been adequately addressed.”

US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement Thursday: “This action by FDA reflects the agency’s steadfast commitment to carefully evaluating the science to ensure that only those products meeting its rigorous public health standards are granted marketing authorization. FDA has taken the proper steps to protect the health of all Americans.”

Michele Mital, acting director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said in the agency’s news release: “The FDA is tasked with ensuring that tobacco products sold in this country meet the standard set by the law, but the responsibility to demonstrate that a product meets those standards ultimately falls on the shoulders of the company. As with all manufacturers, JUUL had the opportunity to provide evidence demonstrating that the marketing of their products meets these standards. However, the company did not provide that evidence and instead left us with significant questions. Without the data needed to determine relevant health risks, the FDA is issuing these marketing denial orders.”

The FDA said court decisions since then “establish new case law and inform the FDA’s approach to product review to maintain the agency’s commitment to issuing final decisions that are appropriate on both the scientific merits and the law,” adding that rescission of the marketing ban “is not an authorization or a denial and does not indicate whether the applications are likely to be authorized or denied .. The agency’s continued review does not alter the fact that all e-cigarette products, including those made by JUUL, are required by law to have FDA authorization to be legally marketed.”

In a statement, Juul said it looks forward to “re-engaging with the agency on a science- and evidence-based process to pursue a marketing authorization for JUUL products.”

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann charged with two additional murders

Tunnel under Ocean Parkway to enter Gilgo Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Babylon^ New York^ USA

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann was charged on Thursday with the murder of two additional women 10 years apart on Long Island. Heuermann, 60, was indicted on murder charges in the 1993 killing of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 killing of Jessica Taylor; the New York City architect pleaded not guilty to the new murder charges.  Heuermann now faces charges in the deaths of six women spanning three decades and multiple Long Island communities after he was indicted on the two new murder charges Thursday.

Costilla’s death was not previously tied to the Gilgo case; body was discovered in a wooded area of North Sea, a hamlet in Southampton. Prosecutors initially suspected Manorville carpenter, John Bittrolff, in her death, and he was later convicted of killing two other women. The Suffolk County district attorney’s office says DNA from hair found near Costilla and Taylor’s remains connect Heuermann to their killings; with ivestigators also stating that evidence showed Heuermann had his Massapequa Park house to himself at the time of their deaths, leaving him with “unfettered time” to carry out the crimes. Prosecutors believe Costilla was killed sometime between Nov. 19 and 20 in 1993, and Taylor was killed between July 21 and July 26 in 2003. The Manorville Pine Barrens are roughly 25 miles west of North Sea, which is on the South Fork on Long Island.

Heuermann was charged in July 2023 with killing four women. The remains of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy and Megan Waterman were found in burlap bags along Gilgo Beach’s Ocean Parkway in 2010. The new charges on Thursday comce after two recent searches, including a return to Heuermann’s home in Massapequa Park last month; with prosecutors released disturbing new details into the ongoing investigation. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said Thursday: “It is alleged that the pornographic images that were accessed by Heuermann are consistent with the crime scenes of both Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. The indictment also includes a photo of a document, which investigators say Heuermann used as a “blueprint” to “plan out his kills with excruciating detail. We allege that this document evinces the defendant’s intent in committing the charged crimes, that his intent was, specifically, to locate these victims, to hunt them down and to bring them under his control and to kill them.”

Heuermann’s defense attorneys have asked for more time to review the new evidence and say he maintains his innocence.
