Despite a recurring sense of dread, “Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost has likely become accustomed to telling merciless jokes at his wife Scarlett Johansson’s expense in the annual joke swap in which he and “Weekend Update” co-anchor Michael Che recite jokes they have written for each other during the show’s news segment – supposedly without seeing them in advance.What Jost may not have been prepared for this year was Johansson’s presence backstage, as she was forced to watch her husband take jabs in real-time, with the camera cutting between the couple. The actress appeared on “SNL” to welcome host Martin Short into the prestigious Five-Timers club, which she joined in 2017. Before going into jokes about his wife, however, Jost read racist jokes written for him by Che, as has happened in years past.”Time out. Before we do this, I know Michael is gonna make me tell some racist jokes like he always does,” Jost started. “So this time, if you don’t mind, I’d like to read all the jokes in ‘Black voice,’ so I don’t get in trouble.”SCARLETT JOHANSSON JOKES THAT PRENUP REQUIRES HUSBAND COLIN JOST TO APPEAR IN ALL HER FILMS”So sorry in advance,” he told the audience before delivering a joke about Vice President Kamala Harris and slavery reparations. “Y’all know my girl Kamala Harris held a town hall talking about [how] she still supports the idea of slavery reparations. Well, damn, girl. Me too. Cuz White people deserve our money back for all those slaves that ran away,” he said, visibly horrified by the remark. “Shiz. I ain’t afraid of you mofos,” a pained Jost read through laughter.The next joke focused on Jost’s wife, but he continued speaking in “Black voice” throughout the segment.”I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson,” Jost said. The camera then cut to Johansson backstage watching the taping. Clutching her drink, Johansson winced as she prepared for the inevitable.  LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS”No! Oh my god, she’s so genuinely worried,” Jost said, before delivering the joke. “Hey boo. Y’all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday. Which means I’m about to get up out of there.””Why?” Johansson could be heard saying when the camera cut back on her. “Shiz,” Jost continued, in hysterics. “Nah, nah. I”m just playin’. We just had a kid together, and y’all ain’t see no pictures of him yet cuz he Black as hell,” he said, referencing the couple’s son, Cosmo. “Shiz. I ain’t afraid of you mofos,” he repeated.”Oh s—,” Johansson said, the camera back on her, taking a swig of her drink.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERLast year, Jost was forced to joke about his wife’s acting prowess. “New York State now allows movie theaters to sell alcohol,” Jost read. “Which is how I’m finally able to enjoy my wife’s little art movies,” he said as a picture of Johansson in the Marvel film “Black Widow” appeared on the screen. “I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King,” he said while cringing. Five months ago, Johansson admitted on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that watching the segment had been tough. “It’s so bad. I black out for that period of the night,” she joked. “I actually don’t remember it.””It is brutal. I feel like every year it gets worse. It’s just terrible.”The couple has been married since 2020 after reconnecting during a 2017 episode of the sketch comedy show.

Texas history teacher Adam Compton owes his life to students who jumped into action after he went into cardiac arrest during an after-school club meeting, putting their quick thinking — and CPR training — to good use.”I’m just eternally grateful. That’s what it comes down to,” Compton shared with “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday.”It’s amazing and thank you guys so much. I’m glad you all were there,” he told student Steven Amaro and high school athletic trainer Amanda Boyd, both of whom helped save his life.Compton sponsors an after-school skate club for teens at MacArthur High School in San Antonio. He was present with the group when he lost consciousness.CALIFORNIA TEACHER SAVED BY NARCAN AFTER FENTANYL EXPOSURE”I felt myself kind of snap out of what felt like a daydream, which alarmed me. I’m supposed to be there watching the students, so I asked one of them, ‘How long have I been out?’ He said, ‘A few minutes,’ and that’s the very last thing that I remember,” he recalled.Luckily, Compton found himself in a room of skaters ready to do their part to save his life. Some ran to fetch Boyd, knowing her guidance would help. Another dialed 911.By the time Boyd arrived at the scene, Compton was on his side, colorless and seemingly lifeless. The situation was dire.”Immediately I knew that he needed serious help, so I pulled him over [onto] his back and took his pulse, and there was no pulse there. Immediately I knew he needed CPR if he had any chance to live.”TEACHER, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, PULLS OVER TO SAVE CHOKING 100-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WITH HEIMLICH MANEUVER Amaro, a MacArthur High School senior, had become ADRCPR-certified just a couple of weeks before Compton went into cardiac arrest, he told a local outlet. He and junior Aidan Anthony Gonzalez grabbed the defibrillator, placed the pads on compton and administered a shock. Boyd told the same outlet the shock was “apparently” what revived Compton.”Once the paramedics came, I let them take over, and I took the boys to sit on the side to let the gravity of the situation sink in,” Amaro told Fox News’ Carley Shimkus.”We were all scared 100%, but I think I was the most confident because I knew if I was calm that it probably lead to a better outcome. Because if you’re panicked, you’re going to be thinking what to do next and not thinking – in order – what to do.”CPR training is required for Texas students at least once between grades 7-12. Compton is now back at school and has returned to his regular life.

You may not like Dan Campbell’s coaching style, but he has his Detroit Lions completely bought in.Campbell is certainly a risk-taker, which bit him in last year’s NFC title game against the San Francisco 49ers.The Lions went for it on a couple of late fourth downs, but did not convert. San Fran took full advantage to head back to the Super Bowl.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMEven this year, Campbell is doing the same old. It’s seldom talked about when it works, but when it doesn’t, it’s a never-ending conversation.But despite what you might think about Campbell’s coaching, Lions lineman Josh Paschal says the team has zero issue with it.”Honestly, we all love it. We love playing for him. When people think that somebody’s not doing something great, I just feel like if you change it up, then you’re going out of your identity,” Paschal said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. “What I love about him so much is he sticks to his identity, he knows who he is as a coach, as a man, and it’s not gonna change.”DEION SANDERS SAYS HE’LL ‘MAKE SURE’ TRAVIS HUNTER PLAYS OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN NFLOne thing that’s for certain about Campbell, though, is he is a leader, and the Lions would run through a wall for him.”I promise you, it would be a Monday at 8 a.m. hearing a speech, and you are ready to rumble right there,” Paschal joked. “If anybody needs to get motivated, just a regular 9-5 type of person and get motivated for a workout, wake up in the morning and watch one of his speeches.”The Lions sit at 12-2 atop the NFC North, so it’s hard to do much complaining about Campbell, who has turned the organization around completely. This may just be the best Lions team of all time, as their offense is one of the best in the league. But they do face a challenge with their second outdoor game of the season in a frigid Chicago on Sunday.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Game shows saw some major changes this year, particularly with the departure of Pat Sajak as host of “Wheel of Fortune” after 40 years.Ryan Seacrest took over permanently, joining Ken Jennings as the new leaders of some of the longest-running shows on television, where contestants have given viewers some wild moments this year, from the risqué to the confusing.Check out the wildest game show moments of 2024 below, including a viral “Wheel of Fortune” player’s explanation for his unexpected answer.’JEOPARDY!’ CONTESTANT CALLS OUT GAME SHOW AFTER AWKWARD ‘SEXIST’ CLUE”Wheel of Fortune” contestant Tavaris Williams became an instant viral sensation thanks to his May 23 appearance and his NSFW answer.During a toss-up puzzle, the puzzle board had the letters for the phrase “_ _ _ _ /I _ /T _ E /B _ _ T!”Williams quickly buzzed in and confidently said, “Right in the butt.”His answer was met with a brief silence, then audience laughter, followed by a “What?” from fellow contestant Tyra, and a definitive “no” from Sajak as a look of utter surprise crossed Williams’ face.The correct answer was “T H I S / I S / T H E / B E S T !”WATCH: ‘WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ CONTESTANT EXPLAINS HIS RISQUÉ ANSWER’WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ CONTESTANT GOES VIRAL FOR X-RATED ANSWER: ‘WILL BE PLAYED FOR ETERNITY'”I tried to just beat my contestants by buzzing in first and letting my brain catch up,” Williams told Fox News Digital of his now infamous TV moment.”And when my brain was ready to speak, I saw the R, I saw the B, I saw the T. I went for ‘Right in the butt’… And once [host Pat Sajak] said ‘no,’ oh, it was the worst feeling,” he continued with a laugh.After taping, Williams had to keep the moment secret from his family, who were gathered to watch it live. “My wife’s like, ‘I’m married to a meme now,'” he said with a laugh, noting his family was overall very supportive.Williams did walk away with $9,500, but almost as soon as the moment aired, fans took to social media to have a good laugh about the risqué answer. WATCH: ‘WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ CONTESTANT HAD TO KEEP VIRAL MOMENT SECRET FROM FAMILYCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERA “Jeopardy!” contestant earned an unfortunate place in the show’s history when she earned the show’s second-lowest score ever recorded.Erin Buker, who walked away with a final score of -$7,200, told Fox News Digital that while she had a “pretty cool” time taping the episode, she would describe it as an “out-of-body experience.””You’re looking, you see the clues, but you don’t remember what category it is,” she explained. “You’re reminding yourself to not, you know, make weird faces because you’re on live television.… The way they tape it is like it’s the live show. They really try to keep it really tight.”And even though she didn’t do as well as she’d hoped, Buker said she’d “love to do it again.”WATCH: ‘JEOPARDY!’ CONTESTANT ERIN BUKER DESCRIBES WHAT IT WAS LIKE GETTING HISTORIC LOW SCORE’JEOPARDY’ CONTESTANT WHO EARNED SECOND LOWEST SCORE IN GAME SHOW HISTORY SPEAKS OUT: ‘A DAY TO FORGET'”Jeopardy!” had not one but two contestants that made viewers do a double take this year.The first was David Erb, who bore a striking resemblance to actor Clint Eastwood.”David looks like several different people. Clint Eastwood is one of them,” a “Jeopardy!” fan wrote on Reddit. Another shared on X, formerly Twitter, “Is it just me or does David on #Jeopardy remind anyone else of a young Clint Eastwood??”‘JEOPARDY’ CHAMP WAS FORCED TO RE-RECORD WINNING MOMENT DUE TO HIS ‘HUGE REACTION’: ‘I LOVE SHOWBOATING’The other contestant that caught viewers’ eyes was Father Steve Jakubowski, a Catholic priest from Michigan who quickly earned a lot of fans online.”There’s a hot priest on Jeopardy rn send help,” one person wrote on X.In a statement to Fox News Digital, Jakubowski said that being on “Jeopardy!” was “a great experience.””Ken and all the producers and team were very kind to me with the novelty of having a Catholic priest on the show,” he explained. “I hope it gave a positive impression of my community and the Church. The show airs at 3:30 where I live in Austin, and so we had a watch party at our parish school with our students and their parents – tons of fun to share that with our parish.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSSeacrest took over for Sajak as the host of “Wheel of Fortune” this year, and people quickly put the blame at his feet for a contestant’s big loss.During his second night hosting, contestant Airica spun a $1 million wedge during her turn. The wedge could have been swapped out for the $100,000 wedge in the bonus round, meaning that if she won the game, she could have potentially won the big prize.Airica solved the first puzzle, and landed on a $1,000 mystery wedge and was given the choice to unveil it or leave it. “It could be a bankrupt or it could be $10,000,” Seacrest explained, and after she decided to risk it, Airica unveiled the bankrupt wedge and Seacrest had to take back the million-dollar wedge.CLINT EASTWOOD’S DAUGHTER TURNED FAMILY TRADITION INTO ‘WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ CAREERFans online felt Seacrest hadn’t explained the rules properly, comparing him negatively to Sajak.”Pat would’ve explained that if she took the risk, she would’ve lost the million-dollar wedge,” a fan wrote on X.Others defended Seacrest, noting that contestants get a rundown of rules and gameplay ahead of time, or were likely briefed on the rules in a portion cut for time.’WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ FANS CRITICIZE ‘NAUSEATING’ CHANGES TO GAME SHOW LOOKJennings bore the brunt of criticism for a “sexist” clue during an October episode of the show.During the episode, the category “Complete the Rhyming Phrase” contained a clue that read, “Men seldom make passes at…”  Returning champion Will Wallace correctly answered, “Girls who wear glasses.”Jennings recognized the prompt may have made female contestant Heather Ryan uncomfortable since she wore glasses on the show.’JEOPARDY!’ FANS SLAM ‘POSITIVELY DISGUSTING’ RULING: ‘BRUTAL CALL'”A little problematic, sorry, Heather,” Jennings remarked, and Wallace added “very” in defense of his competitor.The questionable phrase was from acclaimed poet Dorothy Parker. Game show fans were quick to react to the tense situation on social media. A viewer wrote on X, “Still angry about this. She’s used her intelligence to get on here, only to be insulted by a sexist and rude comment.”‘JEOPARDY!’ LEAVES FANS CONFUSED OVER ‘STEAMY’ BUT MISLEADING DISNEY CHANNEL CLUESome “Jeopardy!” clues leave contestants completely stumped, as was the case with a couple of pop culture clues this year.In February, during the Final Jeopardy round of “Jeopardy!’s Champions Wildcard,” contestants were taken down by a letter in a Johnny Cash song title.The clue for the question was, “‘It was kind of a prodding to myself to play it straight,’ said Johnny Cash of this 1956 hit, with the correct answer being “I Walk the Line.”Unfortunately for all the contestants, one letter cost them all points and time on the Champions Wildcard. All three contestants answered “Walk the Line,” leaving out the letter “I.”‘JEOPARDY!’ TURNS 60: GAME SHOW’S NEW HOSTS, OUTRAGED FANS AND ‘WOKE’ QUESTIONS IN SPOTLIGHTA month later, on an episode of “Jeopardy: Tournament of Champions,” competitors Ben Chan, Yogesh Raut and Troy Meyer missed a $400 clue about a Taylor Swift song in the category “Songs of Youth.”The prompt read by Jennings said, “Inspired by her bestie, Tay Tay sang when ‘somebody tells you they love you’ at this title age ‘you’re gonna believe them.'”The correct answer was “Fifteen,” the title of Swift’s country pop song from her second studio album, 2008’s “Fearless.” The musician has previously said “Fifteen” was inspired by her high school best friend Abigail Anderson, who experienced a painful breakup with a boyfriend when she and Swift were both 15.”We’re gonna get killed for that,” Meyer said with a laugh.”Wheel of Fortune” fans were frustrated by a player’s costly mistake during an episode in May.Contestant Kimberly Wright landed on the Express wedge when the board read “D U _ _ – _ _ L L E D PLATYPUS.””I’m going to call an F,” Wright said to groans from the studio audience. Wright apparently believed that the correct answer was “duck-filled platypus” when it was actually “duck-billed platypus.”Contestant Marie Kioski from Owosso, Michigan, solved the puzzle, winning a trip to Margaritaville Vacation Club Rio Mar in Puerto Rico, worth $7,250.”Oh my, that was painful. F?? She thought the platypus was filled? with what exactly?” a viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

A Lyft driver was brutally attacked while giving a ride in Texas, saying a rider slashed his throat, attempted to choke him and stole his car.Dilaver Berk, 25, has since been released from the hospital, but he remains bedridden and says he is thankful to be alive, according to Fox 4.The ride-share driver picked up a man for a ride on Monday when he was attacked from behind and had his car stolen, according to Frisco Police.The suspect, 19-year-old Antwain Williams, was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and evading arrest. He also had an outstanding warrant for allegedly encouraging a child to perform a sex act.BODY FOUND IN SAME AUSTIN LAKE WHERE 6 OTHER DECEASED INDIVIDUALS WERE FOUND IN 2024Berk now has stitches across his neck and bandages covering deep gashes to his hands.Berk told police he picked up Williams while driving for Lyft Monday evening in Frisco, Texas.When they reached Williams’ destination at Legends at Legacy Apartments on 3700 Legacy Drive shortly before 6 p.m., Berk says the suspect attacked him from behind with a knife and then with a cable or wire in an attempt to choke him.”The rider took a knife to Dilaver’s throat and slashed his throat. He did that a couple of times,” Berk’s friend, Dustin Tovi, told Fox 4.SUSPECT SHOT, KILLED AFTER DRIVING TRUCK INTO TEXAS MALL IN INCIDENT THAT LEFT AT LEAST 5 INJURED: POLICE”Dilaver put his hands right in front of the knife and asked the rider, ‘Hey, whatever you want. Leave me alone.’ And then he had a wire to put around his neck. And Dilaver reached out as well. And he got a lot of injuries to his fingers and his neck because he was stabbed a couple of times,” Tovi continued.Frisco Police said Williams stole Berk’s Toyota Camry and left him in the apartment building’s parking lot. A woman nearby assisted Berk and called 911 to report the incident.Hours later, a patrol officer located the vehicle near Highway 423 and Rockhill. Police attempted to pull the driver over, but he sped away in an effort to evade police.Police said Williams crashed and attempted to flee on foot but was eventually arrested.Berk moved from Turkey to Texas last year and sends money to his parents back home.”He’s somebody that works really hard, and it’s really sad to see what happened to him,” Tovi said. “Nobody deserves that, especially Dilaver, because he works so hard.”Williams remains in custody in the Denton County Jail.

During the holidays, people are more likely than at other times of the year to entertain family and friends at home. While it’s always nice to host a get-together, it can be daunting – and pricey – to set menus.One way to keep expenses in check is to limit the beverage offerings. HOLIDAY DRINK RECIPE IS ‘REALLY EASY,’ ‘LOOKS REALLY GOOD,’ SAYS HEAD WINEMAKERFox News Digital asked hospitality experts for their tips, tricks and hacks to keep spending in check while also keeping holiday spirits high.Here’s what they shared. Throwing a holiday party doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive – and part of the fun is creating your food menus and beverage picks for your guests. When it comes to drinks, less can be more. DANA PERINO’S NO. 1 RULE WHEN ATTENDING OFFICE HOLIDAY PARTIES”By keeping your drink options simple and focusing on festive pairings, you can host a fun and memorable event without breaking the bank,” Peter Brattander, vice president of food and beverage at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in New Jersey, told Fox News Digital. “You want to keep things simple and focus on your guests rather than playing bartender all night.”When planning beverages for entertaining at home, it’s all about making thoughtful choices that cater to everyone, Brattander said. “Limiting your beverage offerings to a few wines, beers and a small selection of spirits is a thoughtful and practical approach to hosting a holiday gathering,” he said.8 GREAT GIFTS FOR FOOD AND WINE LOVERS THIS SEASON”It keeps the focus on family, connection and the meal rather than making the event a cocktail-centric party.””By simplifying the drink menu, you reduce stress as a host and can allocate your time and resources to creating a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food.”Plan your beverage menu to pair it with what you’re serving. If you are serving multiple courses, such as appetizers, a main and then a dessert, you should serve the dryer wine first, then an off-dry wine and a sweeter wine last, Sharon Fenchak, head winemaker at Biltmore Winery in Asheville, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital. She said simplifying selections for a holiday get-together is a good move. “For a holiday gathering, I say that three wines, dry white, off-dry rosé and medium-bodied red; two beers – a low-alcohol beer and a craft beer like an India Pale Ale or a lager; a clear spirit (such as gin or vodka) and a brown spirit (such as whiskey) should please any crowd,” Fenchak told Fox News Digital.HOW TO STOCK A HOME BAR AND OTHER COCKTAIL ESSENTIALS REVEALEDIn addition, a batched signature cocktail could be a fun addition to your menu, Fenchak said. “A pre-made, batched signature cocktail or mocktail is a great idea to make an event feel special while keeping it simple at the same time,” Fenchak said. The philosophy for keeping cocktail selections small is the strategy here. HEARTLESS COWGIRL is ‘YELLOWSTONE’-INSPIRED COCKTAIL ‘WORTH THE HEARTBREAK'”I love the idea of keeping things simple yet thoughtful, so start with one or two signature cocktails – something light and refreshing like a margarita is always a good choice,” Olivia Pollock, Evite’s hosting expert based in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital. One suggestion is a holiday margarita, such as a cranberry margarita. Fresh, easy and colorful, it’s a perfect holiday cocktail, Pollock noted. Then, offer a few basic spirits like vodka, whiskey and rum, plus some easy mixers like tonic, soda or juice. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”I also keep a large bucket of ice nearby in case someone wants to make champagne on ice or add ice cubes to their wine,” she continued. “This way, guests can mix their own drinks, but you’re not overwhelming them with too many choices.”Brattander said offering a post-meal small pour of a digestif or a dessert wine can be a thoughtful finishing touch to make the evening feel complete.Beyond the alcohol, offer some options for your guests, Brattander said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle”Don’t forget about designated drivers or those who don’t drink. Tasty non-alcoholic punch or mocktail as a welcome drink can make them feel just as included and set an inclusive warm tone for the evening,” Brattander told Fox News Digital. Cider is also a festive addition to your holiday beverage line-up. When it comes to buying drinks for your party, Pollock said, a little planning can go a long way in keeping things budget-friendly. “Buying in bulk – like larger bottles or cases of wine, beer and spirits – can save you quite a bit, especially for bigger gatherings,” she said. “Also, keep an eye out for sales and promotions. Many stores offer great discounts, particularly around holidays or seasonal events.”

When Jackie Kennedy learned that her husband, Aristotle Onassis, was having an affair with Maria Callas, she did what she knew best – looked the other way.The claim was made by Kiki Feroudi Moutsatsos, Onassis’ longtime personal secretary. Her memoir, “The Onassis Women,” takes a deep dive into the love triangle.Callas, a superstar soprano who died in 1977, is the subject of a new biopic starring Angelina Jolie.JACKIE KENNEDY UNDERWHELMED BY WARREN BEATTY’S BEDROOM SKILLS AFTER FLING, BOOK CLAIMS: ‘SELF-ABSORBED’”Onassis never stopped seeing Maria,” Moutsatsos, 75, told Fox News Digital. “One week after he got married, he was visiting her many times. I would say three, four times a week. Jackie was very smart, and she realized quickly what was happening.”The former first lady turned to her spouse’s sister, Artemis Onassis, about the shipping magnate’s not-so-secret relationship with the singer.”I was pretending I didn’t hear anything,” Moutsatsos recalled. “But Artemis said to her, ‘Don’t pay attention because here in Greece, that’s what usually happens.’ Onassis was in love with Jackie, but he was also used to meeting and being with Maria.””Jackie followed Artemis’ advice,” she shared.  “Onassis and Maria were twin (flames). They couldn’t separate from each other.”According to Biography.com, Callas and Onassis met at a party in 1957. It quickly turned into a lengthy romance. The relationship was tumultuous, and Onassis eventually began eyeing the widowed Kennedy.Onassis married Kennedy in 1968. According to the outlet, Callas learned of her lover’s plans three weeks before the ceremony.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERKennedy believed that Onassis’ money and power could provide her family protection. Her first husband, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963, followed by her brother-in-law, Robert Kennedy, in 1968.Moutsatsos said she initially wondered why Kennedy chose to turn a blind eye to Onassis’ infidelity. But then she realized that this was nothing new for the mother of two.WATCH: NEW MARILYN MONROE PHOTOS TAKEN BY CLOSE FRIEND REVEALED IN BOOK”Jackie was used to this with her previous husband, the president,” said Moutsatsos. “But she also needed to have a strong man next to her. Onassis was the perfect man. He could give her security not only for her but for her children. And Onassis adored her children, John Jr. and Caroline.””I remember that on [his private island] Skorpios, he would bring them all kinds of animals and toys to make them feel happy,” she shared. “And of course, Jackie could also have everything she wanted. He was used to giving her many surprises. “I remember he would ask me to call a famous jeweler here to bring in the best things, the most expensive things. We would look at these jewels for hours, trying to find only the best ones for her.””Don’t you think a woman likes that? I would say so,” she chuckled.While the women never met, Callas harbored ill feelings for Onassis’ bride. Moutsatsos claimed Callas and Onassis would often fight over Kennedy.”Maria was jealous,” said Moutsatsos. “She wanted to be with Onassis and have him next to her always, but it was not possible. They were too similar… But Maria was also a very strong character. She was very proud. Jackie was more like a little girl. She was more warm, more feminine.””Maria never liked this relationship with Jackie,” Moutsatsos shared. “Whenever she was sitting on the boat, (the Christina, Onassis’ yacht), she would read the newspapers and see the photos of Onassis with Maria. After that, there would be a war on the boat.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSMoutsatsos noted it was easy to see why Onassis wanted to marry Kennedy.”I remember the first day I met her,” she said. “She was coming down the stairs of the house. She was like a queen, a princess. But her behavior was like a little girl. She was very polite with a soft voice. I remember she was very happy because we started speaking in French because Onassis’ sister also spoke French. Jackie spoke French. So we started speaking.””Jackie was shy all the time,” she shared. “Whenever she would call to speak with her husband, she would always ask me if Mr. Onassis was available. It was never ‘I want to speak with my husband.’”Kennedy’s marriage to Onassis had other issues involving another woman – her daughter-in-law, Christina Onassis.”Christina and [her brother] Alexander didn’t like her at all,” said Moutsatsos. “Jackie was trying to approach them, but they were avoiding meeting her, speaking with her.”On the day that Jackie and Onassis got married, it was raining all day,” said Moutsatsos. “Here in Greece, we believe that if somebody is getting married, and it is raining, that is good luck. But it was not good luck.”Onassis never left his former flame. Moutsatsos said the pair were together until he died in 1975.”Maria was desperate when Onassis died,” she explained. “I remember she was calling me almost every day because she wanted to know how to handle the whole situation. She didn’t want to see Jackie, she didn’t want to see [Onassis’] children. They didn’t like any woman to be next to their father. It wasn’t personal. They just always believed that one day their father would be with their mother again. Maria knew that.”I helped her get to Skorpios without anybody knowing about it,” Moutsatsos claimed. “She didn’t want to live anymore. She thought that her life was useless because, yes, he married Jackie, but she could still be with him. Now he was gone. They were born for each other.”When Onassis passed away, Callas had already withdrawn from public life. Callas was 53 when she suffered a fatal heart attack. Moutsatsos is adamant that the star died from a broken heart.”There were reports that Maria was taking drugs – that is not true,” she said. “What is true is that she was heartbroken.”Moutsatsos stayed in touch with Kennedy, who lived in New York City with her two children following Onassis’ death. She died there in 1994 at age 64.MARILYN MONROE’S JFK PHONE CALL HAUNTED JACKIE KENNEDY YEARS AFTER STAR’S DEATH, AUTHOR CLAIMSToday, Moutsatsos is looking to republish her memoir. She’s also in talks with producers to potentially turn the book into a film. Her goal, she said, is to set the record straight.”This was my family,” she said. “And I just want people to know the truth.”

Two U.S. Navy pilots were shot down Sunday over the Red Sea in what appeared to be “friendly fire”, the U.S. military said.The pilots were found alive after they ejected from their aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries.The incident demonstrates the pervasive dangers in the Red Sea corridor amid ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis, even as U.S. and European military coalitions patrol the area.The U.S. military had conducted airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels at the time, but the U.S. military’s Central Command did not elaborate on what their mission was.The military said the aircraft shot down was a two-seat F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet assigned to the “Red Rippers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 11 out of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia.The F/A-18 shot down had just flown off the deck of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, according to Central Command. On Dec. 15, Central Command said the Truman had entered the Mideast, but did not specify that the carrier and its battle group were in the Red Sea.”The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18,” Central Command said in a statement.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
