Six people have been arrested in connection to a $2.8 million “gold bar” scam in Texas that targeted at least six elderly victims.

The Friendswood Police Department said in a social media statement that the investigation into the scam was launched in December 2025 after an 81-year-old resident was persuaded to convert $766,000 into 177 one-ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins.

A scammer posed as a federal employee and told the victim their financial accounts had been compromised, according to police. The scammer then instructed the victim to purchase gold in order to “protect” their assets.

As investigators looked into the case, they later found that a similar scheme had targeted a 76-year-old resident in September 2025. At the time, the victim lost $134,000.

A Texas woman defending her home from a pair of armed invaders died on Monday, January 26, after getting into a shootout with the masked intruders, leaving them both seriously injured, according to authorities. Houston Police have not identified the 72-year-old victim, but court records show that her name was Linda Martinez. Police have arrested […]

Two initial suspects were identified early on in the investigation, and police determined that one suspect had driven to the victim’s home to collect the gold.

Smitaben Thakor was first arrested on December 29, 2025, on a theft from an elderly person charge. Two days later, Samirali Ghabrani was arrested on December 31, 2025, and was charged with theft of property valued at $300,000 or more.

Authorities said that Ghabrani, 48, is also being held on an immigration detainer at the Galveston County Jail, according to the statement.

Following the first two arrests, the investigation into the case expanded and detectives executed search warrants at a home in Richmond and at a restaurant in Houston.

While searching the Richmond home, officers recovered 157 of the 177 gold coins that were stolen from the 81-year-old victim. Authorities also seized evidence that they believe is tied to a broader fraud operation.

Mudassir Iqbal Lakhani and Iqbal Ibrahim Lakhani were both arrested at the Richmond residence and charged with theft of property valued at $300,000 or more, according to police. Both Mudassir, 35, and Iqbal, 60, have a bond set at $5 million.

On January 9, investigators executed a search warrant at a jewelry business in Sharpstown. They later seized additional evidence connected to the scam.

Police managed to recover the remaining stolen gold on February 2 at a residence in Missouri City.

One month later, officers executed another search warrant at a home in Kingwood on Wednesday, March 4.

Zohaib Muhammad was then arrested on a charge of theft of property valued at $300,000 or more and engaging in organized criminal activity, according to police. Samir Ali was also arrested during a traffic stop near his home on a similar charge to Muhammad, 39. Both Muhammad and Ali, who is 36, have had their bonds set at $5 million.

Amid the investigation, police have identified four additional victims who collectively lost about $1.9 million as a result of the scam. Police also said that a broader investigation remains ongoing, which they believe involves connections outside of the United States.

“The Friendswood Police Department’s quick and precise actions in this case reflect our unwavering dedication to protecting our community, especially our elderly residents who are often targeted by criminals,” Police Chief Josh Rogers said in a statement, adding that local prosecutors and the FBI were crucial amid the investigation.

All six suspects are currently in custody. It’s not currently clear if any of them have entered pleas or retained legal representation in light of their arrests.

When a stand-up comedian continually bombs on stage but lacks the self-awareness to try something different with their life, you get films like 2012’s Ape. A near-perfect character study you’ve probably never heard of, Ape takes a trip into the looney pool as its protagonist, Trevor (Joshua Burge), refuses to get a regular job, realizes he has a penchant for blowing stuff up, and competes with other open micers who not only steal his jokes but deliver the worst Sylvester Stallone impersonations you’ve ever seen.

Ape is a low-budget black comedy about a man who refuses to quit even when every outside influence is telling him to do so, resulting in a downward spiral that involves haggling over $.99 convenience store slushies, making a deal with the devil for an apple after an awkward bus ride, and the sneaking suspicion that a man in a gorilla costume is following him wherever he goes.

From Jokes To Rage

Down on his luck and on the verge of having his cable shut off, Trevor lives a miserable life. He can’t get asses in seats at the local comedy club, prompting the owner to constantly bump his set or lower his already meager pay. He rehearses his material in front of his mirror, and his jokes are terrible. The best setup in his act involves marveling at how fast his new microwave can cook food, and the punchline suggests that if he climbs inside it, he could also read faster. Move over, Mitch Hedberg. Trevor’s the new kid on the block, and he’s not going down without a fight.

Barely able to afford food and without a penny to his name, Trevor spends his days lighting things on fire in his apartment and eating whatever cheap TV dinners he can get his hands on. The only friend he has is fellow comedian Dennis Spicer (Gary Bosek), and their relationship is antagonistic at best. In fact, Trevor once “sold” a batch of jokes to Dennis, which did neither of them any favors. Dennis never paid Trevor for the material, and the jokes predictably bombed because they’re all like that microwave bit I already mentioned.

As Trevor’s life continues its steady descent, he slowly loses his grip on reality. Instead of lighting tissues on fire in his apartment, he starts setting fires on the street. He begins carrying a baseball bat wherever he goes. He makes a deal with the devil, who turns out to be a guy in a devil costume operating a fruit stand that only sells vegetables, for reasons that are never explained.

Despite all this, Trevor refuses to quit because he needs to fulfill his lifelong dream of not having a real job. If only his comedy weren’t so terrible.

A Pyromaniac’s Fantasy

Reportedly filmed for under $5,000, Ape is about as low-budget as it gets. For a frame of reference, you can check out 2019’s Relaxer, also starring Joshua Burge and written and directed by Joel Potrykus. What’s great about Ape is that it doesn’t need a huge budget to pull off what it’s trying to accomplish. It’s a simple story about one man who refuses to give up even though it’s painfully clear he doesn’t have what it takes to become a successful comedian, or even an unsuccessful one. The fun comes from watching him tirelessly refine his “jokes” while the giant Steve Martin poster in his apartment seems to exist solely to mock him.

Whether you want to laugh at somebody else’s expense or watch the world burn, Ape is currently streaming for free on Tubi as of this writing.

Great eyebrows never go out of style, and Kristie Streicher knows exactly how to get them right.

The celebrity brow artist counts Miley Cyrus, Adele, Emily Blunt, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Mila Kunis among her loyal clients, and now she’s sharing her biggest dos and don’ts with ET.

For starters, The Nurtured Brow® creator says to do just that: take care of the eyebrows you were born with.

“Early in my career, I noticed that so many people were over-tweezed or chasing trends that didn’t suit their natural bone structure or growth pattern. I became more interested in restraint than removal and in what happens when you honor what’s already there instead of forcing something new,” she explains.

That approach eventually turned into her signature Strategic Tweezing method, a careful process that focuses on removing only what disrupts the natural architecture of the brow, while allowing it to grow back into its most balanced shape.

“It’s about preservation as much as precision,” she shares.

The result? Brows that perfectly frame the face.

“I would describe my work as effortless, refined, and authentic. … Brows can change your entire expression, your confidence, and even how you carry yourself.”

So, it’s no surprise why celebrities continue to flock to her Beverly Hills, California beauty studio, STRIIIKE, for coveted appointments. 

“I think they love my technique because it feels like them, only elevated. It’s subtle, but powerful,” the beauty pro notes.

Even if you can’t make it in to see Streicher in person, you can still follow her A-list approved tips. The entrepreneur offers virtual consultations where she assesses your bone structure, growth pattern, and brow history before creating a custom plan tailored to you.

And one thing she always advises against is doing too much.

“Over-tweezing the front of the brow is a no. The front sets the entire tone of your face. When it’s too narrow, too harsh, or too sculpted, it changes your expression and can make you look harder, older, or permanently surprised,” she reveals.

Similarly, overfilling is another mistake Streicher sees often.

“Creating a shape that’s disconnected from the natural brow line can make the brow look too harsh or the arch look too exaggerated.”

Fortunately, fixing a brow blunder doesn’t have to be complicated thanks to her KS&CO line, loved by Ana de Armas, Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, Chloe Fineman, and Mandy Moore.

“The Microfeathering® Pen is designed specifically to mimic real hair, so if someone has over-tweezed or has gaps, they can add believable strokes without creating a blocky shape,” she spills.

From there, use the Sheer Tinted Brow Gel to bring color, texture, fullness, and a flexible hold to the brow.

“Brush the brows upward and slightly outward. … If they feel sparse or flat, a light layer adds tone and movement without stiffness.”

Somebody tell the internet to chill because Queen Latifah is very much alive—and honestly, that wasn’t even the part that had folks talking. The actress and rapper hopped on social media to squash wild rumors claiming she had passed away. But, fans were more distracted by how good she’s looking than by the proof of life itself.

Queen Latifah Sets The Record Straight

In the clip, Queen Latifah appears to be sitting in her car, rocking a dark hoodie and casually chewing something as she speaks into the camera. She reassures her fans she’s “100% A-OK,” blows kisses, throws up a peace sign, and flashes a grin, saying, “Don’t believe what you read on the internet.” As far as the public record shows, she isn’t dealing with any health issues, and it’s unclear where this wild rumor even started. While her ‘Equalizer’ TV series wrapped last year, it seems Queen Latifah is still keeping an eye out for injustice—especially the kind targeting her own name.

Fans Celebrate Latifah’s Timeless Vibe

Fans immediately flooded The Shade Room Instagram comment section, declaring that the QUEEN has officially arrived. Many praised Queen Latifah, saying she’s “literally always been that girl,” while a few wondered why she hasn’t launched a beauty line like other celebrities. Plenty of commenters were left shook, with many insisting she looks 30 and showing mad respect for her timeless vibe.

One Instagram user @_pettyking said, “Ok! 🔥 I’m loving the “fresh face stud” look. Werk it gurl! 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”

This Instagram user @lavarwalker commented, “Queen looks 30“

And, Instagram user @kitkatagurs added, “Been that girl😍 just gorgeous“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @80scooliehighh joked, “She told us to mind our business like Dolly did 😂”

While Instagram user @alexes.ciarra wrote, “They were acting like it was her Last Holiday 🙄 The Queen has spoken 🗣️👑”

Lastly, Instagram user @keepingitkinky shared, “She’s the one that should have a hair care line! Hair been full and luxurious FOREVA! ❤️🔥”

Queen Latifah Ain’t The Only One Serving Bare-Faced Beauty

As previously reported, Remy Ma blessed the ‘gram with a photo dump that took fans on a full glow-up journey. The first few pics showed her rocking a fresh, bare face with a sleek side-parted dark bob, hoop earrings, and a cozy brown hoodie — giving major effortless, everyday vibes. But as you kept swiping, Remy transformed into full-on red-carpet royalty, with a flawless face-beat-by-the-gods glam that we’ve come to expect from her. And honestly? Even without the glam, she’s giving pure icon energy.

General Hospital puts Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) in full control of Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) right now. But we know that’s not going to last forever and he will eventually be out of this locked-in state. Both Willow and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) confessed their role in his miserable captivity and Drew is furious.

We’re going to talk about how Willow’s going to be in serious trouble when Drew gets out that bed and turns the tables on Willow if he can. It may get twisted.

Drew’s Prisoner in His Own Body on General Hospital

Right now, Drew is trapped in his own body and Willow has the upper hand. She just took over his seat in Congress and even wheeled Drew out in his chair for a photo op. I think Willow wanted Drew to see her slide right into his seat in Congress.

That gives Willow power and resources plus, she’s got control of Drew’s money and daughter. But we know Willow can’t control Drew forever and he’s eventually going to be back on his feet and in control of his own life. Not yet. But eventually.

And when that day comes, I don’t think he’ll let Willow get off without paying for her crimes. Of course, Drew could reveal all of Willow’s sins into the public spotlight and press charges. But I suspect Drew might prefer a hands-on approach rather than turning her over to the cops.

Willow in Pentonville is a fun idea. But honestly, I think Drew may still be obsessed with Willow. And won’t want to let her go. But I also think Drew may want to punish Willow for what she’s done. This would be very twisted and very soapy.

So, I’m wondering if maybe Drew doesn’t go public with the dirt on Willow. Instead, Drew might want to flip the script. And get control over Willow, since she’s had total control of him for months by the time this all unfolds.

Plus, Drew isn’t going to want to risk her reconciling with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) or letting her find a new love. So, I think Drew might get some wicked revenge on Willow for trying to kill him. And putting him through this fake stroke and locked-in syndrome.

Drew Takes Back His Congressional Seat from Willow on GH

The first thing is, once Drew’s out of his locked-in state, he can resume his seat in Congress and Willow would lose the power that comes with it. Now, Drew could stay in the background. And let her finish the term. But it’d be better payback to snatch it back from Willow.

In terms of public perception, it’d be natural for Drew to step back in. So I don’t think it would look like anything unusual. But Willow would know this is Drew’s way of taking away any little bit of power she’d accumulated. He’ll want her isolated and at his mercy.

Drew Threatens to Expose Willow as His Shooter on General Hospital

Another thing Drew might do is threaten to reveal Willow as his shooter—she can’t be charged or sent to prison for it. But if Drew let that info out, I have no doubt that the custody court would take Willow being an attempted murderer into account.

Everything she’s done, she claims was for her kids. So Drew scaring Willow and making her think she could lose her kids would be a huge punishment. And Drew might also threaten her with criminal charges for drugging him—that’s something the PCPD could pursue.

But again, I don’t think Drew wants Willow behind bars, I think Drew wants Willow with him and under his control. So, I don’t think Drew would actually expose her. But he would certainly hold it over her head and threaten her. Because losing her kids is Willow’s greatest fear.

Drew Forces Willow to Have His Baby

Another thing I think Drew might do is tell her unless she wants to lose her kids and go to prison, Willow has to prove her loyalty to him by having a baby with him. I’m sure that would be so exciting for Drew in his twisted big head.

Then, Willow would be tied to him for life, which would be the absolute worst thing in the world for her and the last thing she wants. Drew making a kid with her would give him more leverage. I think that would be the ultimate revenge on Willow that keeps on giving.

Drew Isolates Willow from Nina & Chase on General Hospital

Another piece of revenge I could absolutely see Drew doing is telling Willow she has to cut her mom Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) completely out of her life. That would further isolate Willow and leave her at Drew’s mercy. Because Nina has resources and influence.

Drew is going to want Willow completely cut off so she is fully reliant on him for everything. And that’s really what Drew wants—Willow completely dependent on him and playing the devoted wifey again.

And one last way that Drew might punish Willow without publicly exposing her bad deeds is to also force her to cut Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) out of her life. That way, Willow wouldn’t have him in her corner as someone watching her back.

Drew might even figure out that Willow planted the house key on Michael’s keyring. And Drew could threaten to tell Chase what she did, on top of the shooting and drugging to show him how ruthless Willow is and that Chase’s faith was misplaced.

Heck, Drew might also tell Willow she can’t go back to work at General Hospital and that way he can cut Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) out of Willow’s life too. Honestly, it’d be the best thing for Elizabeth and Chase if Drew made Willow cut them out of her life since she’s toxic, a liar. And an attempted killer.

To be clear, I don’t feel bad for Drew—he deserves what he got—all that and more. But I also don’t feel bad for Willow. And I think it’d be twisted soapy fun to watch Drew get out of his paralyzed state and make his wicked little wife pay for all her sins—and there’s a lot of them.

Bold and the Beautiful reveals Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) are about to give into their desire for each other soon. And we know someone’s going to catch them in the act because that’s the soapiest way to go.

But the question is—who catches them and how bad is the fallout? We’re going to talk about who might bust Deacon getting it on with Taylor and what the consequences will be.

Bold and the Beautiful: Deacon Recommits to Sheila

Ok so, right now, we’ve got Deacon doing what Taylor said and trying to put the temptation behind them. Deacon wants her but Taylor’s scared of losing her family so she told Deacon they can never give in to their love for each other and their desire to be together.

Recently, we saw Taylor urge Deacon to recommit to Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and make love to her. And Deacon said he would but he’d be thinking of Taylor the whole time which is kind of weird. And Deacon did what Taylor asked and completely rocked Sheila’s world.

Sheila Thanks Taylor on B&B

Then, Taylor got a visit from Sheila thanking her—she thinks Taylor’s the reason Deacon got back in her bed. Because Sheila and Deacon hadn’t made love in quite a while. What’s ironic is Sheila’s correct—Taylor is the reason that Deacon blew Sheila’s mind in bed.

Sheila told Deacon he’d never made love to her like that before—Sheila said it felt like the first time. And I’m sure that’s because Deacon was imagining that it was his first time with Taylor. I don’t know if Brad Bell thinks this is somehow sexy—because it gives me all the ick.

This week, Deacon circles back to Taylor and tells her he was thinking of her the whole time he was with Sheila, and then Taylor and Deacon are kissing passionately and intensely. Then, we have the official Bold and the Beautiful spoilers that confirm two people make love to each other for the first time.

I’m certain the spoiler is about Taylor and Deacon. I don’t know if it’ll happen the first time they get frisky, but I’m almost certain they’ll be caught by someone once they start sleeping together—this is a soap after all.

Also, I suspect either the first time or soon, Taylor and Deacon will be doing the deed in Taylor’s office—the place that’s most likely for them to be caught by someone. So, I want to talk about who’s most likely to catch Deacon with Taylor getting it on.

Bold and the Beautiful: Will Sheila Catch Deacon and Taylor Together?

So, my first guess of who might walk in on them is Deacon’s wife. But I kind of doubt it’ll be Sheila. That feels a little too fast. I think we might get more of Taylor and Deacon sneaking around and getting busy before Sheila actually finds out they’re hot for each other and in love.

Ridge Forrester Could Walk In on His Ex and Deacon

Another possibility that I think is more likely is that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) walks in on them. He already barged into Taylor’s office when Deacon was there and said they can’t be together. Ridge thinks that Taylor agreed and will stay away from Deacon.

So, if he walked in on them, Ridge would be horrified and furious with Taylor because he had the stones to forbid her from being with Deacon. And I’m sure Ridge would completely lose it on Deacon too since he was telling him to stay away and keep his hands off Taylor.

And you know Ridge would run tell Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) who would also lose it because she wants Taylor far away from Deacon and Sheila and danger.

Steffy Forrester Walks In on Her Mom with Deacon on Bold and the Beautiful

That leads us to the next possibility, which is Steffy walking in on her mom and Deacon. I think it’s likely Steffy could be the one to catch Taylor getting freaky with Deacon because Steffy would be absolutely appalled and horrified, especially after that ultimatum she gave her mom.

Then there’s Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) who would have a very different reaction. If she walks in on her dad Deacon with Taylor, she’d be thrilled. Hope and Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) pushing Deacon to follow his heart to Taylor’s arms. Plus, Hope hates Steffy saying they can’t be together—so Hope would do a dance.

Another possibility, if Taylor and Deacon are stripping down in her office at the hospital—is that Steffy’s hunky hubby Finn (Tanner Novlan) might walk in on them. Of course, he’d have to tell Steffy, but I also wonder if Finn might be annoyed at Deacon for cheating on his bio-mom, Sheila with his MIL, Taylor. Maybe, maybe not.

Bold and the Beautiful: The Major Fallout When Deacon and Taylor Are Exposed

Given that someone’s going to bust them—because it’s a soap. And once Deacon’s caught with Taylor there’s going to be massive fallout. So, let’s talk about that for a minute. First and foremost, no matter who catches Taylor with Deacon, it’s going to put Taylor in an awful position with Steffy.

And also, Ridge will be mad but Taylor should not care what he thinks. But once Steffy finds out about Taylor and Deacon, whether she catches them, or hears about it from her dad, Finn, or someone else, she’s going to be horrified that Taylor defied her and hooked up with Deacon.

So, I’m sure that Steffy would enforce her ultimatum hoping that Taylor will dump Deacon before it’s too late. That means Taylor could lose her family, at least in the short term. Then, of course, there is the possibility that Sheila could catch them though I think she’ll find out later.

But if she did, I think she could try and choke Taylor on the spot. And of course, Deacon would step in and protect Taylor. And if it is indeed Sheila who catches them in the act, I’m not sure if she’d go bat crap crazy on the spot, or go cry her eyes out then plot revenge on Taylor.

In the end, everyone will find out about Deacon and Taylor and then Steffy will lash out, Sheila will lash out, and Ridge will throw a fit. On the flip side, Hope and Deke might cheer for Taylor finding her destiny with Deacon. Man, it’s going to get messy.
