The University of Saskatchewan has announced in a brief statement that Carrie Bourassa has resigned.

Bourassa was a professor in the department of community health and epidemiology.

She ran an Indigenous community-based health research lab at the University.

For years, she claimed to be Metis, Anishnabe and Tlingit, but an October 2021 CBC investigation found no evidence that she had any Indigenous ancestry. All of her relatives appear to be of appear to be European ancestry.

Following publication of that story, Bourassa was suspended and placed under investigation by the U of S. In November, the university announced that Métis lawyer Jean Teillet would conduct that probe.

A statement from Preston Smith, the dean of the U of S college of medicine, seems to indicate that with Bourassa's resignation, the investigative report will focus on policy improvements instead of Bourassa's conduct.

"Given Dr. Bourassa is no longer with the university, an investigation being conducted by Jean Teillet will now focus on recommendations for improvements to relevant University of Saskatchewan policies and processes," he wrote.

Smith indicated that the university expects to receive the report "in the near future."

In November, Bourassa was dismissed from her role as the scientific director of the Indigenous health arm of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. In that role, she oversaw the distribution of research funds to Indigenous health focused projects across Canada.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday.

Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a prolonged illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan.

“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” Anderson’s family said in a statement.

“WKRP in Cincinnati” aired from 1978 to 1982 and was set in a flagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Gary Sandy, Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner and Jan Smithers, alongside Anderson as Jennifer Marlowe, whose good looks were matched by her intelligence.

As the station’s receptionist, the blonde and high-heeled Jennifer routinely deflected unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others’ incompetence.

The role earned Anderson two Emmy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations.

Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynold s in the 1983 comedy “Stroker Ace,” and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before their messy breakup in 1994.

Their son, Quinton Reynolds, was “the best decision that we ever made in our entire relationship,” she said during the unveiling of a bronze bust at Reynolds’ Hollywood grave site in 2021.

“I think back to the beginning of our relationship, it was so, oh, gosh, tabloidy. We were just a spectacle all the time. And it was hard to have a relationship in that atmosphere. And somehow, we did it through many ups and downs," Anderson told The Associated Press.

Anderson detailed their tumultuous marriage in the 1995 autobiography, “My Life in High Heels,” which she said was about “the growth of a woman, a woman who survives."

“I think if you’re going to write about yourself, you have to do it warts and all,” Anderson told the AP while promoting the book. “You may not even tell the nicest things about yourself, because you’re telling the truth.”

She married four times, most recently to Bob Flick in 2008.

Anderson was born Aug. 5, 1945, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her father was an environmental chemist, and her mother was a model.

Her first role as an actress was a small part in the 1966 film “Nevada Smith,” starring Steve McQueen. Most of her career was spent on the small screen with early guest parts in the 1970s on “S.W.A.T.” and “Police Woman.” After “WKRP,” Anderson starred in the short-lived comedy series “Easy Street” and appeared in made-for-TV movies including “A Letter to Three Wives” and “White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd.”

In 2023 she co-starred in Lifetime’s “Ladies Of The 80s: A Divas Christmas” with Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Morgan Fairchild and Nicollette Sheridan.

“I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of the wonderful Loni Anderson!” Fairchild wrote on X. “The sweetest, most gracious lady! I’m just devastated to hear this."

Anderson is survived by Flick, her daughter Deidra and son-in law Charlie Hoffman, son Quinton Anderson Reynolds, grandchildren McKenzie and Megan Hoffman, stepson Adam Flick and wife Helene, and step-grandchildren Felix and Maximilian.

A private family service is planned at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Kagan said.

Joely has been candid about her sister's death over the years. In January, Joely shared a black-and-white childhood photo of herself and Natasha as she reflected on turning 60.

"Me and my sister Tasha. On my birthday people seemed astonished that I was happy to be turning sixty," she wrote in a caption at that time. "Why wouldn’t I be? It’s not like the numbers jumped from 25 to 60. All the years and decades in between were LIVED. Now I get to be this number and investigate how I find it. '60 is the new 40’ people say — I say ’Why does it need to be? I did that one 2 decades ago.’ ”

A top aide to former President Barack Obama roasted President Donald Trump for firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics over an abysmal jobs report.

“From now on, all jobs numbers will be coming from the guy who says he’s 6’3’’ and weighs 215,” read the caption to an unflattering image of Trump in his golf threads posted by David Axelrod, who served as chief strategy advisor to both of Obama’s presidential campaigns and then as a top aide in the Obama White House.

On Friday, Trump fired Erika McEntarfer as commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after the agency released data showing U.S. employers had only created 73,000 new jobs in July, falling well below the 109,000 forecasted by the White House. BLS also revised its estimate of employment statistics for the previous two months by more than 250,000.

Trump accused McEntarfer of having “RIGGED” the jobs numbers in order “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad” amid outcry at the largest non-COVID-related drop in more than 45 years.

The move has prompted backlash from Trump’s political opponents, with Democrats accusing his administration of politicizing economic data, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blasting him as a “bad leader” who “shoots the messenger” over numbers he doesn’t like.

Trump’s physician claimed in 2016 that he was 6’3” and weighed 236 pounds. Critics noted that Trump doesn’t appear to stack up in photos beside other public figures known to be of that height.

The president again listed his height as 6’3”, but his weight as 215 pounds, when he was booked in Fulton County on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

The issue resurfaced earlier this week after Trump gave a press conference Thursday standing beside NFL star Harrison Butker, who dwarfs the president in photos from the event despite supposedly standing a mere inch taller than him.

My friend Andrew Lownie’s new book about Prince Andrew, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, has been four years in the making, and it landed on the pages of the Daily Mail this weekend with an almighty bang. Lownie believes that, ultimately, Andrew will be brought down by financial—not sexual—wrongdoing, but predictably, perhaps, it is Andrew’s callous sexual behavior that has captured the headlines.

His long friendship with predator Jeffrey Epstein is, of course, well known—the prince, after all, told the BBC he didn’t regret the association one bit. Factor in Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and President Donald Trump, who once boasted he was so famous he could grab women “by the p---y,” and you have a truly toxic brew of power and abuse.

However, it is the prince’s lurid sexual escapades in Thailand, which are discussed in Lownie’s new biography, that may well prove to be the final nail in the coffin of Andrew’s reputation.

Of all the revolting stories that have dogged Andrew’s disgraced career, Lownie’s account of a rolling hotel-room orgy while on official royal duty stands out for its brazenness and its symbolism. Lownie—and the Mail—are to be congratulated for finally running this story, which has long circulated among the royal press pack.

Andrew, the queen’s son, travelled to Thailand in 2006, representing the Crown at the King of Thailand’s diamond jubilee. And what was he doing?

(I have some sources in Thailand myself, thanks to several years of reporting on the Thai monarchy.)

According to Lownie, he was ordering women to his hotel suite in such numbers that even the staff of a luxury Bangkok hotel—who really have seen it all—were stunned. According to Lownie’s sources, more than 40 women were brought to his room during the course of a weekend stay.

“Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive,” a witness told Lownie.

My sources have confirmed Lownie’s account of Andrew’s industrial-scale sexual consumption, carried out under the auspices of royal diplomacy with the full apparatus of the British state behind him.

Indeed, one source told me that rumors abounded among the Thai demimonde that Andrew and another foreign dignitary—who also regarded access to a revolving door of female bodies as part of the perks of office—were sending girls to each other via luxury car services in a horrific power play masquerading as a twisted mark of respect.

The symbolism is grotesque.

If you want to read more about my Thai sources’ corroboration and amplification of this story, please head on over to The Royalist’s new Substack, where I will be bringing my readers even more royal scoops and scandals.

The British media used to dismiss Andrew’s sexual exploitation of his position as “Randy Andy” grabbing a quick leg-over.

That all changed with Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s allegations. Giuffre was a damaged and fragile person who, I believe, invented some of her wilder stories, such as being forced to have sex with Alan Dershowitz. But Giuffre, who was clearly traumatized by the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Epstein, was the first person to crack open Andrew’s shell of privilege.

What the Thai orgy shows is how Andrew used his position in a sinister and cynical fashion to methodically exploit women sexually. This wasn’t a dinner party fumble or a cheeky pinch of the bum—it was a sustained parade of women into a taxpayer-funded royal suite on an official trip under the banner of the Union Jack.

My sources’ accounts of this sordid episode also give a chilling insight into Andrew’s sense of invincibility. Drunk on his power, he made no attempt to hide his behavior or be discreet (I feel in my bones that a sex tape is part of Andrew’s future).

Andrew has always behaved as if the rules simply don’t apply to him, and for decades, he was right.

That same delusion of impunity is echoed in Epstein’s reported comment that Andrew was the only man he’d ever met more obsessed with sex than he was.

Andrew’s defenders will doubtless argue that no laws were broken in Thailand, that the prostitutes servicing him were all consenting adults. Legality is not the point. This is a man who used his role as royal envoy not to serve his country but to gorge himself sexually.

Andrew once reminisced about a “straightforward shooting weekend.” Well, the conversion of a royal diplomatic suite into a brothel is the straightforward abuse of status.

Prince George’s mac attack

A cute story in the Daily Mail this weekend hints that when Prince William, Princess Kate, and their kids were cruising in the Aegean last month, a speedboat was dispatched to the island of Zakynthos to grab Prince George a Big Mac.

A source told the Mail: “George required a specific dietary item which led to the tender going ashore in Zakynthos to purchase it. Nothing extravagant, just something particular.”

Locals note that Zakynthos is one of only a handful of Greek islands that boasts a McDonald’s restaurant. The store manager told the Mail he wouldn’t comment.

• A man was fatally stabbed on a San Francisco subway platform after allegedly attempting to protect fellow commuters on July 26

• Colden Kimber, 28, allegedly stepped between a man — who was yelling at people waiting for the train, including women and children — when the incident occurred, according to multiple reports

• A 29-year-old suspect has since been arrested and charged in connection with Kimber's murder, the San Francisco Police Department said

A 28-year-old man was fatally stabbed on a subway platform in San Francisco while trying to protect fellow commuters, including children.

Officers from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) responded to a report of a suspected stabbing at Ocean Ave. and Lee Ave. at approximately 4:12 p.m. local time on July 26, according to a police statement shared on July 28.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers located a man — who was later identified as Colden Kimber, 28 — with an apparent stab wound. The man was rushed to a local hospital, where he ultimately died, per the SFPD statement.

The SFPD said they detained a person, who matched the suspect’s description, a short distance from the stabbing incident. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Sean Collins, was transported to the San Francisco County Jail, where he was booked for homicide, police said.

Kimber, who was originally from upstate New York, was waiting for a train with his girlfriend at the Muni stop when Collins allegedly began yelling at people on the platform — including women and children — according to KTVU, ABC 7 and The San Francisco Standard.

Kimber protectively stepped between Collins and the other commuters, at which point Collins allegedly stabbed Kimber in the neck, according to police, per KTVU.

William Fazio, Collins’ defense attorney, said he met his client for the first time on Friday, Aug. 1, KTVU reported.

"His parents are very distressed,” the attorney said while speaking about his client. “They sent their hearts out to the young man who lost his life. It's a nonsensical act. It's very sad. Hopefully, he can get some treatment and some help. That's my goal in this case."

Collins is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14, Superior Court of California public court records show.

PEOPLE reached out to the San Francisco District Attorney’s office for comment on Sunday, Aug. 3, but did not receive an immediate response.

"It was so horrendous and shocking, and the last person that I would expect something like that to happen to," Reuben Sawyer, Kimber's friend, told ABC 7 following the tragedy.

Bradley Woehl, who owns the cycling shop where Kimber worked, said that Kimber “really lived such an exemplary life."

"He was a very positive influence on myself and my staff," Woehl said, adding that Kimber would be missed for “his good nature and his kind spirit.”

“There is no making sense of this and no words to convey the devastation we are feeling,” Kimber’s family wrote in a GoFundMe established to help them cover funeral expenses while "navigating a criminal homicide trial from across the country and all the unknowns of this unfamiliar process.”

“Colden unwillingly leaves behind a loving partner of seven years, his little sister who is just getting into road cycling, friends young and old, beloved cycling and hockey communities on both sides of the country, and his family, who was immensely proud of the man he had become,” his family added.

As of Aug. 3, the GoFundMe had raised $85,975 toward a goal of $90,000.
