Corrections: United Airlines Computer Crashed Police investigating Ariana Grande's doughnut-licking video California police said Wednesday they are investigating a video that appears to show pop superstar Ariana Grande licking doughnuts. __________________________________________________________________ Police in Lake Elsinore, where the donut shop is located, say they and Riverside County public health officials were investigating the leaked video, which appears to show the 22-year-old and a man with her “maliciously lick” the doughnuts on top of a counter. Mayra Solis, 22, a cashier at Wolfee Donuts who was on duty when Grande went into the store, said the singer didn’t purchase any of the doughnuts she appears to lick."She was really rude," Solis told The Associated Press. Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Vasquez told the Los Angeles Times, they don’t believe a crime was committed, so Grande may not be investigated. In the same video, which was posted by TMZ on Tuesday, also shows Grande blurting out “What the f--k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America." __________________________________________________________________ Long Island Railroad train fatally strikes 2 in Queens Two people were fatally struck by a Long Island Railroad train early Thursday in Queens, an MTA spokeswoman said. The pair, a man and woman in their 20s whose identities were not immediately revealed, were hit by a Penn Station-bound train coming from Ronkonkoma about 100 yards before the Hollis Station platform as they tried to cross the tracks on foot near Woodhull Ave. and 193rd St. around 2:45 a.m., police sources said. __________________________________________________________________ Trading resumes on NYSE after nearly 4-hour outage The New York Stock Exchange suspended trading at 11:32 a.m ET Wednesday and stayed down for nearly four hours. ______________ Wall Street Journal website goes down amid NYSE, United tech problems The Wall Street Journal's homepage experienced an outage on Wednesday amid similar troubles at the New York Stock Exchange and United Airlines. The newspaper's homepage displayed a 504 outage, though other sections of the newspaper's website, such as its Markets page, continued to function. The outage came at a curious time, just hours after United Airlines grounded all their flights across the country due to computer problems, and mere minutes after trading was halted on the New York Stock Exchange. The Wall Street Journal's homepage is crashing under intense traffic.___________________________________________________________ On Wednesday, we reached peak Donald Trump, with two national TV interviews, including one by NBC News' Katy Tur. We also learned on Wednesday that RNC Chair Reince Priebus called Trump and asked him to tone down his rhetoric on immigration -- yet another acknowledgement of how the New York real-estate mogul is hurting the party. But here's a fairly safe prediction: Trump's poll position in the GOP race is going to go down. It might not happen tomorrow, or next month before the first debate, or the month after that. But it's going to happen. And it won't be due to immigration, but instead past statements on a slew of important issues to the GOP base. ________________________________________________________________ Chris Rock's wife seeking huge payout in divorce, court papers show Chris Rock's estranged wife, whom he filed for divorce from in December, is reportedly seeking a large portion of his $70 million fortune so that she can maintain her celebrity lifestyle. According to the New York Post, documents filed in Bergen County Court show Rock's wife, Malaak Compton-Rock, said she spends much of her time caring for their children — Lola Simone, 13, and Zahra Savannah, 11 — and in her free time does charity work. Both parties agree in the documents that their prenup has expired. _______________________________________________________________ The Americans’ dominant Women’s World Cup win over the weekend spurred outrage after people found out just how little the women got paid compared to their male counterparts. The problem is, their pay is totally fair. The total prize pool for the women’s tournament was $15 million. Of that, the US women’s national team took home $2 million for their victory. That’s less than a quarter of the $9 million the US men’s team got last year for getting knocked out in the round of 16. The total prize pool for the men’s tournament was a whopping $576 million — 40 times the women’s haul. _________________________________________________________________ Bronx dad shot dead while holding baby was victim of gang war: police The Bronx dad who was gunned down while holding his baby girl was the victim of a brutal gang war, the city’s top cop said Wednesday.
