Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is Demi Lovato okay?

Whether they’re sharing a message of hope in these dark times or making it official with husband Jutes, Demi communicates with fans.

When the beloved singer appeared to tremble on camera, fans expressed concerns.

Demi is assuring them that it isn’t as scary as it seems.

Demi Lovato’s cooking video features a chicken recipe … and trembling hands

In a recent video on TikTok, Demi Lovato showed herself roasting a whole chicken.

They are not the first pop star to try their hand in the kitchen on camera, and it can be a fun way for fans to learn how to cook.

“Today we are making a whole roasted chicken,” she said during the video. “It seems really overwhelming, but it’s not.”

They promised: “We’re gonna have fun, and I’m telling myself this because I feel overwhelmed.”

@ddlovato

On ✨Cooking With Demi✨ we are all about facing our fears. Today we did that by trying out a recipe for a whole roasted chicken. It wasn’t pretty at times, but it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be and I’m really proud to have this recipe in my back pocket now 🖤 INGREDIENTS: 1 3 3/4 to 4 pound chicken 1 lemon Kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus 10 sprigs 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 or 3 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks 1 medium yukon gold potato, cut in chunks 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled ½ small onion 1 stalk celery 5 or 6 ¾-inch slices of a baguette 2 big handfuls of baby arugula 1 tablespoon vinegar

♬ original sound – Demi Lovato

One of the hiccups during the video was Demi Lovato accidentally turning on the stovetop instead of the oven. Whoops!

“I’m just nervous!” she admitted to viewers.

They also expressed a bit of disgust at the raw chicken, particularly while removing the innards.

This is when Demi’s hands seemed to visibly shake.

Is Demi Lovato okay?

Trembling hands can be a sign of many things, including nervousness.

However, given Demi Lovato’s medical history, many fans are inclined to fear the worst.

Several years ago, they nearly died — and had a prolonged stay in the hospital.

Numerous commenters expressed these worries, with one writing: “I’m afraid of seeing her shaking that hard.”

Demi Lovato saw the worries, and wrote a comment of their own: “I’m okay! I promise.”

She added more in the video’s caption:

“On Cooking With Demi we are all about facing our fears. Today we did that by trying out a recipe for a whole roasted chicken.”

Demi acknowledged: “It wasn’t pretty at times, but it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be and I’m really proud to have this recipe in my back pocket now.”

What causes shaky hands?

Caffeine, stress, sleepiness, and many more extremely common factors can cause hands to tremble.

On the other hand, there are neurological conditions that can cause shaking hands.

So can medications, certain drugs, and even genetic disorders.

But someone filming themselves doing an anxiety-inducing activity like cooking is a very valid cause for anxiety. Especially with so many innards involved. We’re glad to hear that Demi is doing well.

Federal law doesn’t mandate minimum amounts of logging in Alaska’s Tongass rainforest, judge says

A federal judge in Alaska has rejected a lawsuit that sought to reinstate a management plan that would allow heavier logging in the world’s largest temperate old-growth rainforest.

The result leaves an Obama-era management plan in place, but it could be short-lived: The administration of President Donald Trump is already at work on a new plan that could allow more logging in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. 

In an order published Friday, Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed the lawsuit filed by Viking Lumber, Alcan Timber and the Alaska Forest Association. 

The three groups sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture — the parent organization of the U.S. Forest Service — last year, alleging in part that the federal Tongass Timber Reform Act of 1990 required the Forest Service to offer enough timber sales to meet market demand.

Gleason ruled otherwise, finding that TTRA does not impose “a mandatory duty” on the Forest Service to ensure that market demand is met by Tongass timber sales.

“Whether the harvest levels are designed to actually meet market demand is a discretionary agency action, not a mandatory requirement imposed by the TTRA on the Forest Service,” she wrote.

Gleason also declined to take up plaintiffs’ argument about whether the Forest Service violated the Administrative Procedures Act, and she ruled that a 2021 announcement about Tongass strategy did not amount to formal rulemaking under law. She did not analyze whether it would have met legal standards if it had been a formal rulemaking process.

Plaintiffs were represented by Pacific Legal Foundation, which on Friday said that the Forest Service’s approach has been devastating to plaintiffs.

Kyle Griesinger, a spokesperson for the foundation, said that even with a new management plan in the works, the case isn’t moot because the old plan remains in effect until superceded.

“And, moreover, the Forest Service has not lived up to the 2016 plan so any new plan they may not live up to is no guarantee for our clients,” he said.

Marlee Goska, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, agreed that last week’s ruling still has merit. 

Goska was one of several attorneys who represented tribal, tourism, fishing and environmental groups that intervened on the side of the Department of Agriculture. 

“I don’t think we have enough information yet to say the Forest Service is going to implement what the plaintiffs want. And certainly we’ll fight tooth and nail to stop that from happening,” she said of the upcoming plan change.

Goska added that last week’s ruling is important because it shows that the Forest Service does not have to meet market demand under existing law, and it shows that federal law doesn’t draw a distinction between old-growth harvests and new-growth ones.

“To the extent this administration and the Forest Service might be thinking about saying the TTRA mandates large old-growth timber sales to meet market demand, the court has already said that is incorrect,” she said.

Gleason published a final judgment on Friday. Plaintiffs have 30 days to file an appeal.

Sydney Warner Blasts Taylor Frankie Paul & ‘Dying’ Franchise ‘The …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 might not be the best promo for The Bachelorette.

Even before news broke that Season 5 production had paused, Taylor Frankie Paul was ruffling feathers.

The Bachelor alum Sydney Warner condemned Paul for not meeting the “standards” of the franchise.

Calling out the “dying franchise,” she despaired at Taylor’s casting as a desperate bid for ratings.

‘This is so upsetting’

On Sunday, March 15, Sydney took to her Instagram Story to put Taylor Frankie Paul on blast.

As SLOMW viewers are aware, Taylor’s departure for The Bachelorette didn’t exactly go off without a hitch.

Dakota Mortensen claimed that the two of them had slept together the night before.

Taylor and Dakota are exes. He is her baby daddy, as they share young Ever.

Sydney felt incensed, posting her feelings about Taylor taking on the role of leading lady on ABC’s long-running reality franchise.

“This is so upsetting,” Sydney expressed. “I am a result of being on The Bachelor, I owe a lot to that franchise.”

She wrote: “The Bachelor is one of the most iconic shows of all time & was so highly respected because they held the contestants to such a standard.”

(We cannot verify that the Bachelor franchise has been “respected.”)

“It was such an honor to be on the cast, let alone be casted as the LEAD,” she gushed. “That’s life changing.”

Seeing Taylor’s drama play out, she said, was a crushing disappointment.

‘What has happened to morals and values?’

“To watch this and see the soon to be lead completely disrespect the stage that she has been given, the men who put their entire lives on hold to come and meet her is horrible,” Sydney complained.

She then asked: “What has happened to morals and values?”

Sydney didn’t stop there — blasting The Bachelor and all of its spinoffs as “a dying franchise.”

And that, she said, is no excuse for casting Taylor.

“Why not let the show die out with class and dignity and not stoop down & claw and scrape just to get views,” she asked.

“I feel so bad for those guys,” Sydney said of Taylor’s suitors.

“Seriously this is hard to watch someone completely not care about something so prestigious,” she lamented.

Sydney claimed that the title of Bachelorette is a role “that so many girls would do anything to be given.”

She despaired: “What is going on???”

A mess is what’s going on.

She paints a very rosy picture of ‘The Bachelor’ in years past …

There’s so much to say about Taylor Frankie Paul — or there will be, once we know more about her fight with Dakota.

But as for Sydney’s complaints … how shall we put this. Is The Bachelor a dignified and “respected” institution?

Or is it a weird human auction in which beautiful people who can afford to take weeks off of work to go through emotional ups and downs in the hopes of landing a doomed-to-fail marriage — or, at least, more Instagram followers and podcast opportunities?

Just for the record, Arie Luyendyk Jr. reportedly only broke up with his (real) girlfriend three days before he was announced as the Bachelor.

People have condemned plenty of members of the Bachelor Fam — including Sydney’s former classmate, Hannah Brown — along similar lines.

That said, Taylor really is a mess. And ABC and Hulu are both Disney properties, clearly trying to transfuse the popularity of Hulu’s relatively new trainwreck into ABC’s longstanding trainwreck.

Kouri Richins: Mom Who Wrote Children’s Book About Grief Convicted of …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In the wake of her husband’s death, Utah resident Kouri Richins wrote a children’s book about processing grief.

Now, she’s been convicted of murder.

On Monday, a jury deliberated for just three hours before returning with a guilty verdict.

Prosecutors say Kouri murdered her husband, Eric Richins, by serving him a Moscow Mule cocktail that had been spiked with the opioid Fentanyl.

According to investigators, the drink contained a dose five times greater than what would normally be considered lethal.

Richins has been convicted on five counts, including aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder, both of which carry maximum sentences of life in prison.

She was also convicted on charges of mortgage fraud and forgery, after she allegedly signed to close on a massive real estate deal the day after her husband was killed.

Richins pleaded not guilty on all charges, and she’s due back in court on May 13 to be sentenced.

During the trial, prosecutors also alleged that Kouri first tried to poison Eric’s sandwich on Valentine’s Day.

They also claimed that she carried on a years-long affair behind his back.

“I do want a future together. I do want you. Figure life out together,” Kouri texted Robert Josh Grossmann two weeks before her husband died (via CNN).

“If he could just go away and you could just be here! Life would be so perfect!!! I love you.”

Grossmann was a contractor who frequently worked for the real estate company owned by Richins.

They dreamed of a future together, but prosecutors say the murder was motivated more by money than love.

“The evidence will prove that Kouri Richins murdered Eric for his money and to get a fresh start at life,” Brad Bloodworth, chief prosecutor in the Summit County Attorney’s Office, said in his opening statement.

“More than anything, she wanted his money to perpetuate her facade of privileged affluence and success.”

Kouri’s defense lawyer, Kathy Nester, called for a mistrial, claiming the prosecution had made missteps during his closing — but the motion was rejected by Judge Richard Mrazik.

“They’re going to spend weeks in this trial trying to convince you that Kouri had reasons to kill her husband, because they can’t show you that she did kill her husband,” Nester said in her opening statement.

No word yet on how this conviction might impact sales of Richins’ book for grieving families.
