Matthew Perry’s former fiancée has paid tribute to the late actor, remembering a man who had a “profound impact” on her life.
Molly Hurwitz, who was in a relationship with Perry from 2018 to 2021, posted a tribute to the “Friends” star Monday on Instagram.
“He would love that the world is talking about how talented he was,” she began her post. “And he really was very talented.”
Perry died Saturday at his Los Angeles home. He was 54.
Hurwitz, a literary manager to whom Perry proposed to in November 2020, wrote of watching “Friends” with him in anticipation of the cast’s reunion special in 2021.

Halloween
Millions of trick-or-treaters across the US will be reaching for extra layers, not umbrellas, this Halloween as temperatures fall to “scary” levels for October.

A storm off the mid-Atlantic coast will bring showers from the Carolinas to southern New Jersey just in time for trick-or-treating Tuesday evening.

A barrage of Israeli airstrikes leveled apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City, and footage showed rescuers pulling men, women and children out of the rubble. Israel said the strike destroyed a Hamas command center set up in civilian houses and a network of underground tunnels. The toll from the strikes in Jabaliya camp was not immediately known. The Israeli military said a large number of Hamas militants were killed. A Palestinian hospital director said hundreds of civilians were wounded or killed, but did not provide exact figures. Neither side’s account could be independently confirmed.
The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees is telling a U.N. emergency meeting “an immediate humanitarian cease-fire has become a matter of life and death for millions.” Philippe Lazzarini accused Israel of “collective punishment” of Palestinians and the forced displacement of civilians. He warned that a further breakdown of civil order after the agency’s warehouses were broken into by panicked Palestinians searching for food and other aid “will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the largest U.N. agency in Gaza to continue operating.” According to the latest U.N. figures from Gaza’s Ministry of Health, more than 8,300 people have been killed – 66% of them women and children.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make the case to Congress that the United States should immediately send aid to Israel and Ukraine. They are testifying Tuesday at a Senate hearing as the administration’s massive $105 billion emergency aid request has already hit roadblocks. Biden’s Cabinet secretaries will be advocating for the foreign aid to a mostly friendly audience in the Senate, where majority Democrats and many Republicans support tying aid for the two countries together. But it faces much deeper problems in the Republican-led House, where new Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed cutting out the Ukraine aid.
A professor who is an expert in national security has testified that then-President Donald Trump could have mobilized the National Guard and federal law enforcement to protect the U.S. Capitol once violence broke out on Jan 6, 2021. The testimony came Tuesday as a Colorado case to bar the former president from the 2024 ballot moved into a new phase. William Banks is a Syracuse University law professor who was called by lawyers for the Colorado voters trying to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot under the rarely used “insurrection” clause of the Constitution. Trump’s lawyers say the military had assured the then-president they had a plan for protest security.
Police who frantically tried to save people from the wildfire that devastated the historic Maui town of Lahaina this summer also faced another challenge: keeping people from heading back toward the flames. Hours of body camera footage released to The Associated Press under a public records request includes chaotic footage of officers trying to block people from entering the burning area, even as they were trying to evacuate those still inside. Those included residents desperate to learn the fates of their homes or relatives, or tourists just looking for a place to sleep. The Aug. 8 fire left at least 99 people dead and destroyed more than 2,000 buildings.
Actor Robert De Niro says the legal claims by a former personal assistant who worked for him are nonsense. The 80-year-old De Niro testified in Manhattan federal court on Monday in a lawsuit brought by the assistant, Graham Chase Robinson. Robinson is seeking $12 million in damages for what her lawyers say was severe emotional distress and reputational harm resulting from abusive decadelong employment as De Niro’s personal assistant. De Niro’s attorney says Robinson was demeaning, abusive and controlling during her years working for De Niro. His testimony resumes Tuesday morning.
King Charles III has expressed “greatest sorrow and the deepest regret” for the “abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence” committed against Kenyans as they sought independence. He spoke on the first day of a four-day visit to Kenya. But he didn’t explicity apologize for Britain’s actions in its former colony, as many Kenyans wanted. Kenya is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its independence this year. It and Britain have a close but sometimes challenging relationship after the prolonged struggle against colonial rule in which thousands of Kenyans died. Kenya’s president told a state banquet that Britain’s response to Kenya’s quest for self-rule was “monstrous in its cruelty.”
