Mike Hagerty, a veteran performer who appeared in dozens of movies, and on TV shows like Friends, Seinfeld and many others, has died. He was 67.
Hagerty’s might not have been a household name, but he was instantly recognizable for playing, among others, Mr. Treeger, Monica’s irascible building’s super, on Friends.
Hagerty can currently be seen in HBO Max dramedy Somebody Somewhere, playing the father to star Bridget Everett’s character. The actress posted to social media a message from Haggerty’s family, which noted the passing of “beloved character actor,” noting “his love of his hometown of Chicago and his family were the cornerstones of his life.”
“I loved Mike the instant i met him,” Everett said on Instagram. “We are devastated he has passed. Mike was adored by the entire cast and crew of Somebody Somewhere.”
(FLORENCE, Ala.) — The car linked to escaped Florence, Alabama, inmate Casey White and jail employee Vicky White was ditched in Williamson County, Tennessee, just hours after the jail break, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities first spotted the car around 3 p.m. CT on April 29 — hours after the escape — and it wasn’t until Thursday night that the car was connected to the Whites, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sharon Puckett told ABC News.
There’s no sign that murder suspect Casey White, 38, and Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections Vicky White, 56, are still in the area of Williamson County, which is about a two-hour drive north of Florence, the sheriff’s office added.

Authorities with the U.S. Marshals Service searched the area Friday morning but found nothing to indicate that the pair was still in Williamson County, Puckett said.
“We don’t believe they’re anywhere near us,” she said.
However, authorities are still canvassing the area for any witnesses and are looking into whether any cars were reported stolen around the time the Whites’ car was ditched, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said at a news conference Friday.
Nothing was left behind in the car, the sheriff said.
Vicky White withdrew approximately $90,000 in cash from multiple banks before allegedly fleeing, Lauderdale County, Alabama, District Attorney Chris Connolly told ABC News. He said the banks were local to the Lauderdale County area, but he could not say when she withdrew the money.
On April 18 — just days before she allegedly fled with inmate Casey White — Vicky White closed on the sale of her home for just over $95,000. Singleton has said that investigators suspect Vicky White is “flush” with cash from the sale.
It’s now been one week since Casey White and Vicky White went missing. The two are not related.
Authorities said they believe Vicky White willingly participated in the April 29 escape from the Lauderdale County jail.
The pair “may be armed with an AR-15 rifle, handguns and a shotgun,” the U.S. Marshals Service said.
There’s no indication anyone else was involved in the escape, the sheriff said.
Vicky White and Casey White disappeared after Vicky White allegedly told her colleagues that she was taking Casey White to the Lauderdale County Courthouse for a “mental health evaluation,” the sheriff said. He didn’t have a court appearance scheduled, Singleton said.
Vicky White also allegedly told her colleagues that she was going to seek medical attention after dropping the inmate off at court because she wasn’t feeling well, but Singleton said his office confirmed that no appointment was made.
Singleton said Friday that his message to Vicky White is: “Hopefully we find you safe.”
Singleton has described Vicky White, a 17-year veteran of the department, as “an exemplary employee” until now.
Vicky White has submitted her retirement papers and the day of the escape was her last day, the sheriff said.
At the time of his escape, Casey White was facing two counts of capital murder for the stabbing Connie Ridgeway in 2015, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Casey White was described by authorities as 6 feet, 9 inches tall and approximately 330 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and numerous tattoos, “including some affiliated with the Alabama-based white supremacist prison gang Southern Brotherhood,” the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Vicky White was described by authorities as 5 feet, 5 inches tall and approximately 145 pounds, with brown eyes and blond hair, though the U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday that she may have tinted her hair a darker shade. She was also described as reportedly having a “waddling gait.”

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to $10,000 reward for information leading to Casey White’s capture and a $5,000 reward for information leading to Vicky White. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has offered a $5,000 reward each for information leading to the apprehension of either individual.
A warrant was issued for Vicky White charging her with permitting or facilitating escape.

Tickets for Garth Brooks’ upcoming Canada show went on sale today, and just 45 minutes later, the venue was sold out.
The country superstar sold a whopping 61,000 tickets for the concert, which will take place in Edmonton, Alberta’s Commonwealth Stadium. It’s the first time Garth has played the venue since 2017, when he played a series of shows for more than 160,000 fans combined.
It’s the latest in a string of stadium dates that have brought in staggering ticket sales. After Garth’s now-sold out June 18 Salt Lake City date went on sale, fans snapped up 50,000 tickets in just 45 minutes.
Garth’s upcoming Edmonton date is set for June 25. It’ll be his first time playing Commonwealth Stadium, and the only Canadian stop on his Stadium Tour.
Katy Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, welcomed their first child in August 2020 — a daughter named Daisy Dove. While the “Roar” singer has yet to reveal her daughter’s face, she’s ready to discuss what inspired Daisy’s unique name.
Speaking to People, the Grammy nominee explained she was inspired by the line Meg Ryan utters in You’ve Got Mail. “In it she says, ‘Daisies are the friendliest flower,’ and it’s so true — a daisy could grow anywhere and it’s just so pure and sweet,” Katy explained. “It’s just right.”
The American Idol judge said Daisy’s name is very fitting because, “She’s brought so much joy to my life.”
Katy has since adopted the daisy as a signature of sorts, telling the outlet, “Whenever I can slap a daisy anywhere, I will.” She hinted to fans to keep their eyes peeled for those little flowers on her shoe line, the Katy Perry Collection, because it adds a little touch of personality.
Daisy turns two on August 26 and the “Unconditionally” singer reveals she’s savoring being able to match outfits with her little one. “It’s very cute, because you only have a limited amount of time before they don’t want to wear what you pick out, so get it in while you can,” she lamented.
But, just because they can only be outfit twins for so long, that’s not stopping Katy from giving Daisy a killer closet of clothes to pick from when she’s older. The singer revealed she’s kept all her best red carpet looks and is leaving that collection to her daughter.
“Everything is in a warehouse — it’s like the closet scene in Clueless,” she dished. “It’s all itemized by picture and number. Daisy is going to have a lot.”
(NEW YORK) — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joined “The View” Friday to reiterate what she says will be the devastating effects on women’s health if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Since the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that would repeal Roe v. Wade was released Monday, Warren has been vocal about her opposition to the court and Republican leaders who have been pushing laws in states to ban legal abortion.
Warren told “The View” that if the Supreme Court moves forward with the decision, it will be hardest on women who can’t afford to travel to locations that permit abortion, including those living in poverty and minorities.
“Who is this going to fall on? This is going to fall on the most vulnerable women in the country,” the senator told the View.
In the leaked draft regarding the Supreme Court’s case on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, Alito contended the Constitution “does not prohibit the citizens of each state from regulating or prohibiting abortion.”
The leaked draft indicated that four other Supreme Court justices have sided with Alito. The document is not final and opinions can change before the final ruling.
Senate Democrats have introduced the “Women’s Health Protection Act” which would codify Roe v. Wade at the federal level; however, it is unlikely that the bill will get the 60 votes needed to pass.
Warren said it is important that the American people see which of their leaders supported abortion rights under oath.
“The plan gets everyone on the record,” she said. “If we don’t have enough people to get this done right, this is the time to get into the fight.”
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told ABC News that she would vote no on the bill. However, she and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, D-Alaska, have proposed another bill dubbed “Reproductive Choice Act,” which would prohibit states from imposing an “undue burden” on the ability of a woman to choose to terminate a pregnancy before the fetus is viable.
The bill would allow states to keep other restrictions in place.
Warren told “The View” that she doesn’t support the alternate bill because there are too many loopholes that allow for abortion access to be restricted.
“What this is really about is about making sure there is full protection,” she said.
Warren also warned that Alito’s leaked draft could open up future legal challenges to fundamental American rights such as marriage for same-sex couples, the right to contraception and interracial marriage.
“When you read Justice Alito’s opinion, he focuses on history,” she said. “We don’t have a long history of protecting same-sex marriage, we don’t have a long history of interracial marriage.”
In one of the many follow-ups to his crazy popular hit song “Gyalis,” Capella Greydropped off a new music video that’s giving all the Jamaican and Bronx vibes the rapper is known for delivering.
Accompanying one of his latest tracks “Sas Crise,” featuring Alayzha Sky & Ghost, the two-minute visual shows Grey in all of his dancehall glory, vibing and rap-singing alongside a group of equally hype dancers in what looks to be a warehouse-like space.
The video was most likely shot in Uptown New York, since he reps his hometown super hard. And, due to its setting of the vivacious crowd-filled NY streets, the video mimics that of the Billboard Hot 100 breakthrough track, “Gyalis.”
Since dropping the debut hit last January, which was considered the “song of the summer” by many, Capella signed with Capitol Records. Speaking with Billboard about the achievement, among other things, Capella said, “They understood the sound I was trying to build. They understood what I’m trying to do for New York City. They understood what I was trying to do for the culture, period.”
One of the first full projects that could drop under the Capitol banner is his upcoming collection, VR1.
Head over to Capella Grey’s YouTube to “Vibe Carefully” to his latest bop and video, “Sas Crise.”

Judah & the Lion has released a new song called “Scream!,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Revival.
“Sometimes the best way to deal with the craziness of the world is to scream into a pillow,” says frontman Judah Akers.
“During the pandemic I was feeling the weight of all that was happening in the world and my counselor told me I needed to get that stress out,” Akers shares. “He suggested screaming as loud as I could into a pillow. Felt a bit insane, but it did help. When we wrote this song, we wanted to give you permission to do the same!”
