WASHINGTON, DC—The Congress has unveiled a new statue of outgoing Congressman Jamaal Bowman pulling a fire alarm, commemorating his unique contribution to legislative procedures. The life-sized bronze statue, titled “Alarmed Leadership,” captures the very moment Bowman heroically yanked the fire alarm in the Capitol building, an act that will be remembered for its creativity in congressional disruption tactics and totally not insurrection. During the unveiling ceremony, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson praised Bowman’s innovative approach to legislative participation. “Bowman showed us that when you can’t argue your way out, you can always alarm your way out. This statue serves as a reminder to future generations that creativity and chaos can go hand in hand in the halls of power.” Bowman, who has recently announced his departure from Congress to pursue a career in fire safety education, was visibly moved by the honor. “I never imagined that my most memorable act in Congress would be immortalized in bronze. It’s not every day you get to disrupt a session and get a statue out of it,” he said, wiping away a tear. In his farewell speech, Bowman reflected on his career. “Some people draft legislation, others give stirring speeches, but I found my niche. Sometimes you just have to pull the lever, or in my case, the alarm, to make sure your voice is heard – even if it’s drowned out by sirens.” The statue stands as a parting gift from his colleagues, many of whom have found solace in the humor of the moment. “In these divisive times, it’s nice to remember that we can all come together to laugh at the absurdity of our actions,” said a chuckling Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Jamaal has truly left his mark – and a lasting sound – on Capitol Hill.” Critics, however, were less amused. “This is a glorification of obstructionism,” grumbled one anonymous congressman. “What’s next? A statue of someone locking the doors to prevent a quorum?” Despite the controversy, the statue has quickly become a favorite among visitors. Tourists flock to see “Alarmed Leadership,” many posing with their hands mimicking the pulling of an imaginary fire alarm, ensuring Bowman’s legacy of emergency-induced legislative pauses endures. The statue has also inspired a new wave of congressional memorabilia. Gift shops are now stocked with miniature replicas, complete with a pullable alarm that triggers a recorded message from Bowman himself: “When in doubt, pull it out!” As Bowman steps away from his congressional duties, his colleagues and constituents alike can look to his statue and remember that sometimes, making an impact is just a matter of knowing when to sound the alarm.

Investigations have been ongoing since Matthew Perry’s death last October, which rocked the Hollywood entertainment industry and his fans around the globe. The actor reportedly died from acute effects of ketamine, coupled with other factors like drowning, side effects of buprenorphine, and underlying health issues. Although the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner closed the investigation last year, the case was reopened by the police department in collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. postal inspectors to determine the circumstances surrounding his death.

Carmen Electra showed up at the That ‘90s Show premiere in Los Angeles wearing a hot red outfit featuring a sheer top and latex bottoms that showed off her curves. She accessorized with a black purse and a matching pair of platform heels with which she strutted the red carpet gracefully. The 52-year-old wore a full face of makeup featuring dark arched brows, dark smokey eyes, some concealer, blush, and glossy pink lips. She wore her hair in a center part with blonde and dark highlights, which added some dazzle to her skin tone as it fell to her back and shoulders. What inspired Carmen Electra’s red latex outfit look? Instagram It was not unusual to assume that Carmen’s red ensemble was inspired by her role as Lani McKenzie on the ’90s hit series, Baywatch, but the actress clarified that she simply threw on something from her wardrobe without much thought. She added that it was her first time wearing such an outfit, and she did not intend to induce ‘90s nostalgia with her appearance.

Instagram True to herself While she has ditched many looks from the past, Carmen remains a fan of bold eyelashes, which she began wearing while working with Prince in the ‘90s.

He also gave her the name “Carmen,” as opposed to “Tara” which she initially opted for.

It was a delight seeing Celine in such a happy mood amid her struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome. Will Celine Dion take the stage soon? Since her SPS diagnosis in late 2022, Celine has been more of an audience member than a performer due to the damage to her vocal cords. The 56-year-old described living with SPS as someone strangling or pushing on her larynx from time to time. She also experiences muscle spasms and moments of stiffness, which makes it difficult to remain on her feet for long. Instagram Despite the possibility of a comeback looking bleak, Celine is hopeful for a miracle and plans to give her fans a TV special of her biggest hits so far. She assured the public on the Today show of getting back on stage, even if it meant crawling or talking with her hands. Her recently released film gave fans a more candid look into her new reality, sparking heartfelt reactions on social media in the last couple of days.
