Toy manufacturer Mattel has apologized for a misprint that appeared on the packaging of its line of “Wicked” dolls and listed an address for an adult website. The error gained steam this weekend after social media users discovered that the link to the film — wickedmovie.com — was mislabeled, sending consumers to Wicked Pictures, an independent adult film company. “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page,” said the company in a statement. “We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this.” The merchandise was to coincide with the highly anticipated Universal film. The packaging included the boxes holding Elphaba and Glinda dolls. In the film, Elphaba is played by Cynthia Erivo and Glinda played by Ariana Grande. News of the eyebrow-raising mistake came a day after Erivo, Grande and Jennifer Lopez, as well as Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, who starred in the original Broadway blockbuster, appeared at the movie’s premiere at the Dorothy Chandler

Two San Bernardino County residents were arrested last week in connection with a scheme that reportedly bilked the California Employment Development Department and the United States Treasury out of more than $2 million in COVID-19 pandemic relief funds, federal officials announced. In a news release, prosecutors with the U.S. Department of Justice say that 43-year-old Rialto resident Lisa Puente and 53-year-old San Bernardino resident Arthur Marquez ran the operation from Feb. 2020 to Aug. 2023. The pair reportedly filed more than 120 fraudulent applications for unemployment insurance benefits using identities stolen from inmates in California state prisons as well as stealing identities from out of state victims. “The fraudulent applications falsely stated that they were individuals whose employment had been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered eligibility for [unemployment insurance] benefits under federal law,” the release detailed. Once Puent and Marquez got possession of the debit cards generated by the fraudulent claims, which were issued under the names of dozens of victims, they withdrew the benefits by making cash withdrawals at ATMs or used the cards to purchase items
Reactions to Trump’s mass deportation vow Reactions to president-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation promise 02:44 Nogales, Mexico — Ivan Castro Santos, his wife and their four children, including 1-year-old triplets, have been living in a crowded room over the past four months, waiting for an opportunity to enter the U.S. The young family traveled from southern Mexico to the House of Mercy and All Nations shelter in the northern Mexican border city of Nogales, joining other migrants from across Latin America. Half of them are children. All of them have one objective: finding work and safety in the U.S. Castro Santos, 22, said he and his wife, Fatima Gonzalez Hernandez, 19, decided to leave Guerrero, Mexico, because of “the crime and the risk to the children” there. “To protect them,” he added in Spanish, looking at his young children. Tens of thousands of migrants are estimated to be in Mexico, hoping to enter America, including through a program that allows them to use a smartphone app to request a time to be vetted, processed and admitted by American border officials.

By Will Croxton November 10, 2024 / 7:30 PM EST / CBS News This week on 60 Minutes, CBS News correspondent Holly Williams profiled Ukrainian war reporter Andriy Tspalienko. Reporting for Ukrainian news outlet 1+1, Tsaplienko has become a vital source of information and a hero for many Ukrainians— fearlessly pursuing truth on the front lines, sometimes at great risk to his life. “His story tells you something about the sacrifices that so many Ukrainians are willing to take… to try and save their young democracy,” Williams told 60 Minutes Overtime. Williams and producer Erin Lyall first met the Ukrainian journalist aboard a U.S. Navy warship in the summer of 2021, six months before Russia’s invasion. Their reporting focused on the operations of U.S. warships in the Black Sea, who were working with NATO allies to anticipate a potential Russian attack. Tsaplienko took a different approach to his reporting: he wanted to show Ukrainians what a modern military looks like. “I felt, myself, that we were [on] the eve of a bigger war,” he told Williams in a 60 Minutes interview. “My primary task was…

Inside the U.S., there have been attempts to interfere in elections, cyber attacks and actions putting critical infrastructure at risk, Olsen said. “I don’t think Putin is trying to hide his hand.

By Cecilia Vega, Aliza Chasan, Oriana Zill de Granados, Michael Rey, Emily Gordon, Jamie Woods November 10, 2024 / 7:30 PM EST / CBS News Maxim Kuzminov was gunned down in a Spanish seaside town whose name translates to joyful village. The 28-year-old Russian made headlines last year when he defected from Russia and flew a helicopter into Ukraine. He made headlines again in February when his body was found in a parking garage in Villajoyosa, a resort town on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Who was Russian defector Maxim Kuzminov? Kuzminov was a Russian military helicopter pilot until he was recruited online by Ukranian intelligence officers. On Aug. 9, 2023, he flew a helicopter below the radar so he wasn’t detected as he crossed the frontlines from Russia into Ukraine. He then handed over the helicopter, sensitive military equipment and top secret Russian intelligence to the Ukrainian military. “What is happening now is simply a genocide of Ukrainian people, both Ukrainian and Russian people,” Kuzminov said during an interview on Ukranian television after his defection. “I did it because I didn’t want to be a part
The linebacker ended up on his backside. The cornerback fell backward as if he was breakdancing. Justin Herbert just kept running, juking and winning. Used to embarrassing defenders with his arm, Herbert added a display of shifty running in the Chargers’ 27-17 win over the Tennessee Titans (2-7) on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The quarterback rushed for 32 yards in nine carries with one touchdown, his first rushing score since Oct. 1, 2023. “I’m changing his name to Beast,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said. “Beast Herbert. Half man, half beast.” Finally paired with a defense that can begin to match his talents, Herbert led the Chargers (6-3) to their third consecutive win, the team’s longest winning streak since four straight victories in 2022. The Chargers held a ninth consecutive opponent under 20 points, moving into a tie for the NFL’s second-longest streak of games with 20 or fewer points allowed to begin a season. Matching the record of 10 — set by the New York Giants in 1990 — won’t be an easy task as the Chargers’ schedule takes a dramatic turn. Facing only one
The Dodgers’ World Series-winning coaching staff won’t remain entirely intact next season. On Sunday, the Miami Marlins hired Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough to be their new manager, as ESPN first reported, creating the first opening on the Dodgers’ coaching staff in two seasons.

In addition to his duties as first base coach, McCullough was the Dodgers’ lead outfield coach and responsible for much of their base-stealing strategy. He and Mookie Betts had a good relationship, with Betts calling McCullough “the best coach I’ve ever had” after selecting McCullough to pitch to him in the 2023 home run derby.

Updated on: November 10, 2024 / 5:10 PM EST / AP CBS News Live CBS News Miami Live A transitionary council created to reestablish democratic order in Haiti signed a decree Sunday firing the country’s interim Prime Minister Garry Conille and replacing him with Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, a businessman who was previously considered for the job. The decree, set to publish on Monday, was provided to the Associated Press by a government source. It marks even more turmoil in an already rocky democratic transition process for Haiti, which hasn’t held democratic elections in years in large part due to the soaring levels of gang violence plaguing the Caribbean nation.

The businessman studied at Boston University and was previously considered for the position as a private sector candidate for the post before Conille took the seat.
