Celebrities who have made an appearance have often discussed that getting ready for the Met Gala requires several hours of preparation and glam. While Aniston doesn't mind getting dolled up, she is not a fan of how much she would need to mentally prepare to go to the event. "It's the getting ready, the putting on the dress," she explained. "I'm a 'jeans and flip-flops and tank top' kind of girl. I love dressing up too, but for me it's a mental game of…'Let's get dressed up, put on a fancy dress, makeup, get your hair all 'purdy' and go sit in a big room with your peers.' [And yes,] everyone's there to celebrate each other and have some fun, but I get nervous." Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic The Morning Showstar also shared that she has a complicated relationship with attending carpeted events, adding that its often an excuse for critics to be excessively judgmental. "Some people find it like a sport where they build you up and then they love to tear you down," Aniston concluded. "What's the reason why people do it? Who knows? But I just try as best I can [to tune it out] because it doesn't do you any good." Aniston is one of the many A-list celebrities who have never attended the Met Gala — Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Mariah Carey, Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Adele and more have yet to ascend the steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday of May. The most recent Met Gala took place this year on Monday, May 5. The event celebrated the opening of the Costume Institute's exhibition"Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,"which honors Black dandyism. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic The dress code was "Tailored for You" and saw guests — which included Rihanna, Cardi B, Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter and more — dressing up for the evening in expertly tailored suits and glittering gownsdripping with historical references. Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton and Anna Wintour served as the co-chairs for the evening. Read the original article onPeople

"The Grand Dame" is free. "Real Housewives of Potomac" star Karen Huger was released from prison Tuesday morning, according to the Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation. The 62-year-old served a one-year sentence at the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland for driving under the influence and other charges. She wassentenced to two yearsin prison, with one suspended. Huger served her full time in the facility, according to a spokesperson for the department of correction and rehabilitation. Maryland has adiminution credit systemin which some inmates can earn a reduction in their sentence. Inmates who are not eligible for this system include those convicted of serious sexual offenses. Huger, a fan-favorite original "RHOP" cast member coined "the Grand Dame,"was convicted latelast year by aMontgomery County juryof DUI and other charges connected to a March 19, 2024, solo crash near Oaklyn Drive in Potomac. No one was injured in the crash. Prosecutors had requested six months in prison and defense lawyers wanted no time in favor of rehabilitation. Huger was branded a repeat offender by prosecutors, who pointed out three previous alcohol-related traffic cases between 2006 and 2011. None of those previous cases had led to prison time. Huger was sentenced to prison time, $2,900 in fines and five years of probation. She admitted fault in court, saying she was grateful no one was injured by her actions. Now that she's been released, Huger won't be allowed to drive for a year, and, if she violates probation, she could be sent back to prison to serve the year of suspended time. An attorney for Huger did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Fans and reality stars alike reacted to the news of Huger's release online. "She should've not been in jail, anyway," one commenter wrote on a post announcing her release. "Welcome home, Queen." Former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" peach-holder Marlo Hampton posted an Instagram story in support of Huger's homecoming. "Welcome home sis," Hampton captioned a video of Huger in full glam. Some were not as happy to see her free. "Not enough time for that drunk!" one commenter wrote. Others online speculated on if she would return to "RHOP." The show's 10th season will premiere on Oct. 5. "I want her back on the show ASAP, living her best life," one commenter wrote. Another commenter believes the Grand Dame will make an appearance on the season 10 reunion. Bravo did not respond to a request for comment.

The 150-year-old law that governs military's role in local law enforcementNew Foto - The 150-year-old law that governs military's role in local law enforcement

The Posse Comitatus Act is a nearly 150-year-old federal law that limits the U.S. military's role in enforcing domestic laws. At its core, experts say the law reflects America's long-standing belief that law enforcement should remain in civilian hands, separate from military power. PresidentDonald Trumphas tested the law's limits in the first few months of his second term, as heexpands the footprintof the U.S. military on domestic soil. Here's what to know about the law. Posse Comitatus Act stops military from enforcing US law The criminal statute prohibits military enforcement of domestic law. It also prevents the military from investigating local crimes, overriding local law enforcement or compelling certain behavior. There are key exceptions. Congress can vote to suspend the act, or the president can order it suspended in defense of the Constitution. The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy troops during invasions, rebellions or when local authorities can't maintain order. National Guard members are under state authority and commanded by governors, so they're generally exempt. However, the Posse Comitatus Act applies to National Guard forces when they're "federalized," meaning the president puts them under his control. That's whatDonald Trumpdidin Californiaover the governor's objections. The military is allowed to share intelligence and certain resources if there's an overlap with civilian law enforcement jurisdiction, according to the Library of Congress. There's also an exception for the U.S. Coast Guard, which has some law enforcement responsibilities. Law was enacted after the Reconstruction era The law was enacted in 1878 following the post-Civil War era known as Reconstruction. At that time, segregationist lawmakers didn't want the U.S. military from blocking Jim Crow laws that imposed racial segregation. But the spirit of the law has roots going all the way back to the Revolutionary War, when the nation's founders were scarred by the British monarchy's absolute military control, said William C. Banks, a professor at the Syracuse University College of Law. "We have a tradition in the United States — which is more a norm than a law — that we want law enforcement to be conducted by civilians, not the military," Banks said. Courts have rarely interpreted the Posse Comitatus Act, leaving much of its scope shaped by executive branch policy and military regulations rather than judicial precedent. Steve Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown University, notes that this lack of legal rulings makes the law unusual. "There is no authoritative precedent on exactly where these lines are, and so that's why over the years the military's own interpretation has been so important," Vladeck said. New tests for the law A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administrationviolated federal lawby sending troops to accompany federal agents onimmigrationraidsin Los Angelesthis summer. The ruling does not require the remaining troops to withdraw. Trump administration attorneys argued the law doesn't apply because the troops were protecting federal officers, not enforcing laws. Trump also sent 800 troops to Washington D.C., sayingwithout substantiationthat they were needed to reduce crime in the "lawless" city. In Washington, a federal district, the president is already in charge of the National Guard and can legally deploy troops for 30 days without congressional approval. Trump has since discussed sending the National Guard to other Democratic-led cities likeChicago, Baltimore and New York. ___ Riddle is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.Report for Americais a nonprofit national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues.
