Amber Heard, known for her high-profile legal battles with Johnny Depp, is once again in the midst of trouble, this time involving the FBI. The actor recently made headlines for her return to the big screens with the indie movie In the Fire, but her legal woes continue to haunt her. Reports surfaced in 2022, revealing that Amber Heard was under investigation, and the FBI was involved in the case. The investigation stemmed from allegations that Heard smuggled her dogs, Pistol and Boo, into Australia while accompanying her then-husband Johnny Depp during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 in 2015. Heard reportedly brought her dogs without declaring them, leading to charges of illegal animal importation. She ultimately pleaded guilty to falsifying travel documents in an Australian court in April 2016. Recently, it was disclosed that the perjury case involving Amber is still ongoing, with Australian authorities collaborating with the FBI to locate witnesses in America.

Robert De Niro, recently opened up about her struggle with Bell's palsy, a temporary condition that affects the facial muscles. Chen was diagnosed with Bell's palsy shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Gia Virginia Chen De Niro, in April. Bell's palsy is caused by inflammation and swelling of the facial nerve. It can affect one side of the face or both sides, as it did in Chen's case. The exact cause of Bell's palsy is unknown, but it is thought to be associated with viral infections. Chen described the initial symptoms she experienced as a tingling and numbness in her tongue and face. As the days passed, her symptoms worsened, and she eventually lost all facial function. She was unable to eat, drink, or speak normally. Chen was treated with steroids and antiviral medication, and she is now recovering. She said that she is grateful for the support of her family and friends, and she hopes that her story will help others who are struggling with Bell's palsy. Chen's story is a reminder that Bell's palsy is a serious condition, but it is also a temporary one. However, with proper treatment – most people make a full recovery. Bell's palsy, which affects around 40,000 Americans annually, is most prevalent among individuals aged 15 to 45. Both genders and various age groups can experience it. Risk factors include pregnancy, preeclampsia and more.

The Desert Southwest will experience highs well into the triple digits, resulting in an excessive heat warning in effect for Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. In other regions, such as the Southeast, Plains, Midwest, and parts of the Northeast, it will be another day of the heat and humidity that July is known for, according to Weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. The central Great Plains can expect scattered severe thunderstorms from late afternoon into Tuesday night, with severe thunderstorm gusts being the primary concern, according to the Storm Prediction Center. In the Northeast, local downpours may impact holiday plans in parts of upstate New York and New England, but the majority of the stormy weather should stay away from the Interstate 95 corridor. While storms are likely to hit the coast in Virginia and the Carolinas.
