WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Republican and Democratic leaders of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee said on Friday the Trump administration had yet to provide details of its operations against drug cartels and their legal basis they had sought.

U.S. strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific have killed dozens of people since early September, raising tension between Washington and Caracas.

In a rare bipartisan action on the strikes, Republican Senator Roger Wicker and Democrat Jack Reed said in a statement hey had not received information sought from the administration about its strategy to fight drug cartels.

Wicker, of Mississippi, is the chairman and Reed, of Rhode Island, is the top Democrat on the committee, which oversees the U.S. military.

The Trump administration insists those targeted were transporting drugs, without providing evidence or publicly explaining the legal justification for the decision to attack the boats rather than stop them and arrest those on board.

President Donald Trump has also ordered a major military buildup in the Caribbean.

Wicker and Reed said they requested "Execute Orders" related to the anti-drug trafficking operations in a September 23 letter. In another letter on October 6, they asked for any written opinion regarding the legal basis for the operations.

The lawmakers said they had not received the requested information by Friday.

Asked for comment, Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said in an email, "Several of the requested documents were made available to the chairman, ranking member, and their staffs to review yesterday. Additionally, the Department provided its fourth bipartisan briefing on these operations to Senate staff yesterday."

Trump denied on Friday that he was considering strikes inside Venezuela, appearing to contradict his own comments last week amid growing expectations that Washington may soon expand its operations related to drug-trafficking.

Since moving to Spain in 2022, Heard has lived a quieter life and kept her children out of the spotlight. While she hasn't spoken extensively about her little ones, she did announce the arrival of her twins back on Mother's Day.

In a post on Instagram, Heard shared that she was "elated beyond words" to celebrate the completion of her family with the birth of Ocean and Agnes.

"When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn't possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!" Heard captioned a post which showed all three of her babies together.

She continue, "Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life. I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully."

Sally Struthers is revealing how starring in Gilmore Girls, known for its fast dialogue, affected her as an actress.

In an October 2025 interview with The New York Post, Struthers spoke about her role as Stars Hollow resident, Babette Dell, during the show's original seven-season run and its 2016 four-episode Netflix reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. She explained that after Gilmore Girls ended in 2007, she took to the stage to portray Golde in Fiddler on the Roof. However, the director didn't love that she was rushing through her dialogue for the production in Maine. When her director said he was perplexed by how fast she was speaking, Struthers didn't initially know what he was talking about.

She said that she soon realized that she was used to talking quickly because of her tenure on Gilmore Girls. She let the director know that the show's creator,Amy Sherman-Palladino, required the cast to get their lines out quickly because she "writes the script for a one hour television show that's about 8 to 9 pages longer than all other one hour television shows." In addition, Struthers said that Sherman-Palladino's "writing is so brilliant, she doesn't want to cut any of the words."

According to the All in the Family star, she promised the director that she would "slow down" and "play Golde at a normal speaking pace," despite "speaking really fast" during the seven-year production of Gilmore Girls.

Lauren Graham Discussed the Specific Style of the 'Gilmore Girls' Dialogue

While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in October 2025 for Gilmore Girls' 25th anniversary, Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore, shared her thoughts about the show's dialogue. The actress said she believes "the writing on this show is like music."

"You wouldn't sing a ballad super speedy and you wouldn't sing a pop song super slowly," said Graham, who starred as Lorelai in both Gilmore Girls and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

She also told The Hollywood Reporter she was used to the dialogue because she "did a fair amount of theater and the language [of Gilmore Girls] has a theatrical quality."

"[Y]ou can feel it, you can hear it when you miss a word or when something's out of step, because, even though it's this bubbly stream of consciousness, it's written with an incredible amount of precision. I think it just spoke to what I gravitated towards already," said Graham to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the same Hollywood Reporter interview, Sherman-Palladino said she always intended the show to have a "very fast" pace.

"When a page is a minute a page, by the time Gilmore Girls really got up to speed and in its true form, we were less than 30 seconds a page. We needed twice as many pages to get the same amount of product — but at the time that I did the pilot, nobody believed me," said Sherman-Palladino to the publication.

Children on The View dressed up as the viral CEO and HR executive from the Coldplay kiss cam scandal

Following the scandal in July, both Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot have resigned from the company

Cabot filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, in August

The View featured kids dressed as the viral CEO and HR executive from the Coldplay kiss cam scandal for Halloween.

"Lead singer Chris's jumbotron song, the CEO and the HR director caught on the big screen. The two turned away from the camera and the moment quickly went viral," the show described the children's costumes, as they acted out the famously viral scene.

"I love that one," co-host Sara Haines chimed in.

The costume was a part of a segment that featured children dressed as several prominent figures in news and pop culture this year. Other costumes included Pope Leo, who rose to the papacy this year following the death of Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR director Kristin Cabot went viral after they were spotted during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., in July. The band's lead singer, Chris Martin, joked they might be having an "affair" given their response to the unwanted attention.

In one viral clip shared to TikTok, a camera pans over to where the man and woman can be seen wrapped in each other's arms. Cabot quickly turns her back to the camera to hide her face, while Byron ducks out of sight.

In the months since the scandal, both former Astronomer employees resigned from the company. Cabot also filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Andrew Cabot. She filed a petition for divorce in Portsmouth, N.H., on Aug. 13, NBC News reported.

In September, a source told PEOPLE that Cabot's soon-to-be ex-husband was also on a date at the same concert. Andrew is the CEO of a rum distillery and a member of one of Boston's most storied families.

In a statement to PEOPLE through his spokeswoman in September, Andrew confirmed their separation and divorce.

"Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they've always valued," the spokeswoman told PEOPLE at the time.

A source close to Kristin has spoken out to clarify what they called the "misinformation" about what happened at the concert between her and Andy Byron.

"Kristin and Andy [Byron] had an excellent working relationship, a great friendship. There was no affair," the source insisted to PEOPLE.

Leslie Jones kept calling Pedro Pascal the wrong name at SNL50

Leslie Jones had a comically bad time learning Pedro Pascal's name.

The former Saturday Night Live cast member, who was part of the big SNL50 anniversary special in February, recalls meeting the Last of Us actor as one of her favorite moments from the experience. If only she could have remembered his name when they met.

The special as a whole was "everything," she said.

"And Pedro, is it Pedro?" she asked on Vulture's Good One podcast, still struggling with his name. "Let me tell you, [I] called him Pablo until he told me his name is Pedro. So, I was like, 'Pablo, Pablo.' And he was like, 'Pedro.' And I was like, 'Pablo.' He's like, 'Pedro.' And I was like, 'Who the f— is Pedro?' And he was like, 'That's my name.'"

That finally convinced her.

"I was like, 'Oh, okay. I'll call you Pedro. Even though Pablo's better,'" she said before laughing.

"He's so cute, too," the comedian added.

Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and Eddie Murphy during a 'Black Jeopardy' sketch on 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' on Feb. 16, 2025

Jones, who was a regular on the NBC sketch series from 2014 to 2019, was one of the dozens of former cast members who descended on Studio 8H for the epic evening. She took part in a "Black Jeopardy" sketch along with fellow alums Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, and Chris Rock, and longtime cast member Kenan Thompson.

Pascal, who hosted the sketch show in 2023, was one of the many celebrities who were part of the night's list of non-cast performers, which also included the likes of Scarlett Johansson, who happens to be the wife of "Weekend Update" cohost Colin Jost, and 10-time host Tom Hanks.

Pascal joined the fun as part of the "Domingo: Vow Renewal" sketch, featuring Marcello Hernández's recurring character. Pascal and Bad Bunny played the lothario's hot brothers. Sabrina Carpenter and SNL alums Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, Andy Samberg, Martin Short, and Molly Shannon were also part of the sketch alongside several current cast members.

"I was the first record scratch of the night by missing my cues like three times in a row," the Mandalorian star scolded himself about coming in at the wrong time.

"I remember thinking, 'F---! I f---ed it up!'" Pascal said. "I was really, really upset with myself for missing the cues. I feel like there was a cognitive and auditory failure on my part where I was so nervous I really couldn't hear what was happening or what the cue was. I guess no matter what kind of singing and how bad or funny it's supposed to be, I have just sheer terror of having to sing in any kind of capacity."

Let's just blame that one on Pablo.

Robert Englund gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

He's way beyond Elm Street now.

Robert Englund, the actor known for chillingly portraying the razor-gloved bad guy Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, found a new home Friday when he was inducted onto the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He accepted the 2,826th star from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

The crowd chanted "Freddy!" as Englund took the mic at the perfectly timed ceremony. He thanked those who'd helped him over his 50-year career, which has also included appearances on TV's Stranger Things and The Goldbergs, as well as movies such as Urban Legend.

Appropriately for Halloween, Englund ended his acceptance speech with a hearty "Trick or f‑‑‑ing treat!"

Fans dressed as Freddy Krueger at Robert Englund's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony

Heather Langenkamp, who played protagonist Nancy Thompson in several of the Elm Street movies, was one of the speakers. And she lauded the classically trained actor's professionalism.

She said Englund was "always rehearsing until they rolled the camera. He would work on his right shoulder dipping a little lower than his left. The glove, always ready to slash you at a given moment."

The first time she saw Englund in costume as the villainous Freddy was "terrifying," Langenkamp recalled. "The take goes along and Robert Englund raises his glove, and he says, 'This is God.' It was blasphemous. It was hideous. It was so evil. It sent chills up every spine in that back alley, and, for the first time, I realized, 'holy s‑‑‑, I'm in a slasher movie.'"

The actress said Englund has made left a mark on his genre that even a century from now, audiences will be familiar with his work.

She also quoted one of Freddy's signature lines: "Welcome to prime time, bitches!"

Along with Langenkamp, director Eli Roth, who worked with Englund on the 2005 horror comedy 2001 Maniacs, took the mic and noted that spending All Hallow's Eve with Englund was perfect.

He lauded the actor as "a man who truly understands how to find the humanity, even in a monster."

Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.

Roth said Freddy is the character kids always name when you ask them to think of horror icons.

"Freddy is always first!" he insisted. "Always. That is no accident. Freddy Krueger was the first time a killer in a slasher movie spoke. Up until then, slashers were silent assassins or a breather. Avatars for the unstoppable force of death. But Robert made death fun! Just so f‑‑‑ing fun."

Watch Englund's full induction ceremony above.
