The Miss Jamaica organization is sharing a message of healing ahead of the holiday season

The message, posted on the pageant organization's official account, comes 12 days after the current Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry fell from a stage while competing at the Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 19

Henry was hospitalized after her fall and no current updates are available on her condition

The Miss Jamaica organization is sharing a message of "healing" over a week after Miss Jamaica 2025 Gabrielle Henry fell from the stage while competing at Miss Universe, and was hospitalized.On Dec. 1, the official Miss Universe Jamaica account shared a message ahead of the new month, celebrating a "season of recovery, reflection and renewed resilience.""After Hurricane Melissa, we rise with gratitude - for safety, for community, for the strength that binds us together," the statement read.

It continued, "This is our time to rebuild with hope, to restore with compassion, and to uplift each other with kindness," calling for people to "be intentional" and "empathetic" as well as to "extend grace generously."

Concluding, the statement added that, "even in hardship, Jamaica's spirit remains unshaken - we endure, we unite, and we shine. Welcome, December - a month of healing, courage, and forward movement."While the statement specifically touched on the country of Jamaica's healing from Hurricane Melissa, the message comes over a week after the current Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry fell from the stage while competing during a preliminary pageant event at Miss Universe in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 19.Henry was notably absent from Miss Universe's final round of competition on Nov. 21.

Later, following the competition, an update from the Miss Universe Jamaica Organization was released on her Instagram Stories on Friday, Nov. 21, and sent to PEOPLE, explaining that Henry's sister, Dr. Phylicia Henry-Samuels, is currently with Henry and their mother, Maureen Henry, in Thailand.

According to Dr. Henry-Samuels, "Gabby isn't doing as well as we would have hoped, but the hospital continues to treat her accordingly."Because of her condition, medical personnel have determined that Henry will be required to remain in the intensive care unit (ICU) for a minimum of seven days as "doctors continue their close monitoring and specialized care."

In a Nov. 29 statement posted by Olivia Grange, Jamaica's Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the organization wrote to express their thanks to the people of Jamaica for their support toward Henry, and provided an update on the pageant queen, sharing that she is still in the ICU."While Dr Henry, Miss Jamaica Universe 2025, remains in intensive care in Bangkok in Thailand, in the process of recovery, and despite setbacks, the family reports that she is in good spirits," the statement revealed."The family is confident that her resilience and strength will see her through 'with all our support,'" it continued.

The statement also shared that the family is continuing to monitor her condition "in close consultation with her medical team and patiently await her further recovery and for clearance from the medical team for non-emergency medical transportation to Jamaica."Grange previously shared updates on her condition in collaboration posts with the official Miss Jamaica account after the pageant queen's initial fall from the Miss Universe stage. In a Nov. 21 post, the minister shared that Henry's family, in speaking with Grange, "said it was their understanding that there was no error in the execution of Gabrielle's walk before she fell, suffering lacerations to her chin and foot."

In a later interview with PEOPLE, one of Henry's fellow Miss Universe contestants, Miss Haiti Melissa Sapini, opened up about the behind-the-scenes moments following Henry's fall, alleging that after the fall, pageant contestants were called together for a meeting, where she claims a pageant staff member started the conversation by placing blame on Henry.

"I don't know that they handled that correctly," she tells PEOPLE. "The first thing he said was it's because she wasn't paying attention."

"After he said that, then he was like, 'Of course, safety is our number one priority,' this, that," she clarifies. "But it's like, 'Are you serious?' That was really scary."A representative from the host pageant organization, Miss Grand International, responded to those claims in a statement to PEOPLE, noting that "the incident occurred primarily because she missed her blocking and may not have been looking at the runway while walking. However, no one from MGI blamed her.""The stage was extremely large — the catwalk was more than 5 meters wide with clear, oversized white borders," the representative writes. "No other contestant experienced any accidents on that runway, indicating the environment was safe and the fall was an isolated case."The Miss Universe Organization has not responded to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

Whether you're a seasoned vet in your profession or fresh in the field and looking to land your first gig, LinkedIn has become an invaluable resource for anyone on the hunt for a new job. Unfortunately, scammers have also made LinkedIn their place of "work," conducting a variety of scams targeting hopeful job-hunters.

So if you've been job hunting and applying, Spokeo shares what you to keep from falling for a phony listing.

Is LinkedIn Legit?

Before getting into sniffing out scams, it's worth talking about what LinkedIn is and confirming that, yes, LinkedIn is overall very legitimate. If, for whatever reason, you aren't familiar with LinkedIn, it's an online networking platform meant to help build professional relationships and connect job seekers with businesses for opportunities that match their skill sets. Think of it like Facebook, but for businesses and professionals.

As to whether LinkedIn is legit? The answer is absolutely. That said, not everyone on LinkedIn is legit, and that's why it's important to know how to spot the scammers trying to camouflage themselves as hiring managers and recruiters.

LinkedIn Scams

Because of LinkedIn's popularity in the professional world, LinkedIn job scams come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, ranging from lazy and obvious to carefully crafted and highly devious. Here's a look at the six most common scams on LinkedIn.

1. Fake recruiters hiring for your position

If you currently have a job and a LinkedIn account with your title or position, you've almost certainly received a message from a recruiter/company claiming to have a role they think you'd be a perfect fit for. We're all for manifesting your dream job, but when you're approached out of nowhere with an offer that seems too good to pass up, don't let your excitement lead to your guard being put down.

How it works: You'll get a message on LinkedIn about an exciting job opportunity that matches your current position. The attention grabber is that the job (that doesn't exist) pays way more than your current job, offers a signing bonus, and is fully remote. Jackpot! … for the scammer (if you fall for it).

Once they have you on the hook, they'll have you fill out some standard employment forms, which can often include private information like your social security number and other financial information that can be used to steal your identity.

2. Fake job listings

For those fighting the battle of searching for a job, the same principle applies as the fake recruiter scam: If it's too good to be true, it's probably a scam. This type of scam is a bit wider-reaching than the recruiter version, since it functions by having people reach out to the scammers about a listing, rather than the other way around.

How it works: Scammers create listings for jobs that offer good pay, benefits, and the ease of working remotely. Often, these listings will be for jobs that claim to need no prior experience or credentials, maximizing the number of people who are tempted to apply.

Once an application is submitted, victims are given employment forms that are actually just a ruse to steal private information. Sometimes, scammers are even brazen enough to ask you to pay a "standard" onboarding fee that they claim you'll get back upon completing training. Once they have your information and payment, they'll disappear without a trace.

3. Equipment scams

Related to fake job scams, equipment scams are often the final act in completing a scam on LinkedIn. Rather than trying to steal your information with employment forms, these scammers will make you think you're all set up to start working, but will ask you to order a specific piece of equipment that you'll need to begin your role. This can vary from things like MacBooks, monitors, or other expensive items.

How it works: Once you've been "hired," a manager will instruct you to order equipment like a MacBook, and the company will reimburse you via check. They will then send a check that is an overpay (typically by sending $3000 instead of $300), and claim that they accidentally made a mistake. Then, they'll ask you to send them back the difference, at which point the original check will bounce, and you'll be out whatever money you sent, plus whatever money you spent on equipment.

4. Phishing and whaling

If you know anything about modern scams, you should already be familiar with phishing. For those who need a refresher, phishing is a popular type of scam that lures victims into clicking on malicious links that can lead users to downloading malware or inputting sensitive private information on spoofed websites.

Whaling, on the other hand, is a less talked-about sibling to phishing, where the targets are specifically high-profile individuals at certain businesses (i.e., CEOs, CFOs, etc.).

How it works: Rather than using the promise of a new job to get people to click a link, scammers will use fake or stolen LinkedIn profiles to message individuals in an attempt to get them to click on a link. The contents of the link can vary, from fake forms meant to steal information, all the way to malware designed to infiltrate whole company systems.

When it comes to whaling attacks, scammers often put in much more research, as compromising "high-value" targets can result in a much bigger payday. Other than being more convincing and having a specific target, whaling generally works the same as phishing.

5. Investment scams

LinkedIn is all about business relationships, which makes it not so strange when someone reaches out with an investment opportunity. While a little bit of due diligence should stop a scammer in theory, in reality, people make mistakes when presented with an "amazing" opportunity.

How it works: Scammers reach out with some investment opportunity, either claiming they can boost your business or are looking for investors like you for some special opportunity. They'll typically have a pretty thought-out pitch that seems legit on the surface (other than the too good to be true returns they promise), and that you only need to send them some money to get started. You know how this one goes: they take your money and disappear.

6. Compromised account scams

As if it weren't enough dodging fake jobs, investments, and links on LinkedIn, you should also be regularly making sure your LinkedIn account is safe and secure. That's because scammers will take over LinkedIn accounts in order to scam people connected with them.

How it works: Whether through a LinkedIn scam or some other scam that gives them access to your various account usernames and passwords, scammers take over your account and begin messaging your contacts as if they were you. People are obviously going to be far more trusting of someone they know, which means they're more likely to click a link without thinking twice.

How to Avoid Getting Scammed On LinkedIn

Simply knowing about common scams is a solid starting point for identifying and avoiding them. But scammers are always coming up with new ways to trick people into giving up their private information and money, so here are some general warning signs to look out for:

Grammar and spelling errors

Suspicious links

New or strange profiles with no activity (or activity that you suspect to be driven by bots)

Above-average compensation

An undue sense of urgency or pressure

Job offers with no interviews

Messages from people you know but don't sound like the person

It Doesn't Hurt to Double Check

It isn't unheard of for someone new to reach out on LinkedIn. Before you actually start engaging that person with potential business talk, it doesn't hurt to run a quick search in order to confirm A. they're real, and B. they aren't a business catfish.

People search tools can give you the details you need to make sure that an exciting new opportunity is coming from someone legit, and not just an opportunity for you to get scammed.

Nikki Sixx thinks rock stars should accept their age.

In an interview with WTHR-TV's Dustin Grove via Blabbermouth, the Mötley Crüe bassist and co-founding member spoke about why he thinks artists shouldn't try to act younger than they are.

"Life changes, man," Nikki, 66, told the outlet. "It's cool that it changes. The thing that I don't like is when I see artists that are still trying to act 25, and they're 65.

He continued: "I don't think that's cool for the fans. Evolution is evolution. We all age, we all change, we have different interests, and Mötley Crüe seems to have ridden that wave pretty good, just letting it be real."

Nikki also noted how he's grown as an individual over the years.

"You evolve as a person, as a lyricist. My evolution as a lyricist, it goes from the rawest of the raw to the most heartfelt. And that's just as I grew as a man and my interests evolved," he said.

According to Nikki, the band isn't "in a rush ever" to make music.

"We don't have to be in a rush. In my case, I've got a six-and-a-half-year-old [daughter Ruby] who's amazing," he said. "And so I wanna not be in a rush to work constantly so I can enjoy that part of it and then go out there and play for the fans.

Nikki noted that it's about "balance" for him.

In December 2023, Nikki opened up to PEOPLE at the Jackson Hole International Film Festival (JHIFF) about spending time in nature and turning 65.

"It just really clears our head and allows us to reset," Nikki told PEOPLE of he and his wife Courtney Sixx, now 40, who share daughter Ruby, 6½.

He added: "We spend a lot of time outside. I mean, the whole point of being here is to really be outside whether you're into skiing or fishing or hiking or being up on the lakes or snowmobiling."

Nikki noted how they enjoyed how "social" the area was.

"I wake up and I'm like, 'I can't think of a place I'd rather be.' And to be able to still be creative at 65 and have a wonderful family and be surrounded by good friends. I'm very grateful," he said.

Anna Chlumsky and Jamie Lee Curtis in "My Girl" -

Jamie Lee Curtis is looking back at 1991's My Girl

Sharing a special behind-the-scenes video of the cast performing a unique take on The Temptations' 'My Girl'

The film was a box office success, making over $120 million, and was followed up by 1994's My Girl 2, which saw Chlumsky, Curtis and Aykroyd reprise their roles.

Jamie Lee Curtis is sharing a special memory from the My Girl set.

On Sunday, Nov. 30, the actress, shared a behind-the-scenes video in which the cast of the 1991 film sang a remixed version of The Temptations' "My Girl," while talking about the movie's title switch.

The film starred Anna Chlumsky, now 44, as Vada Sultenfuss, a quirky 11-year-old girl coming of age in the summer of 1972 while also grappling with being a hypochondriac and obsessed with death. Macaulay Culkin, now 45, played her friend Thomas Jay, who died from an allergic reaction to bee stings. Dan Aykroyd, now 73, played her father, while Curtis, now 67, played her father's girlfriend (and Vada's future stepmother).

In the video's caption, she explained, "Yes, you can add songwriter to my credits. My Girl's original title was Born Jaundiced. Also, I Am Woman and Veda!"

"I convinced the rest of the cast that we could go shoot this in a little studio and sweet Anna recorded it in a little sound booth. I thought I was the only one with a copy of this. It was a crew gift that we gave to the wonderful group of people that came together to make that wonderful movie," she shared.

"How fun to see you today. The hot pants outfit was rejected by our director Howard Zeiff and he was so right that it was wrong for Shelley to wear for her interview at the mortuary, but I got to wear it for the little video shoot."

The video shows Ann Nelson playing the bass while Chlumsky sings. Aykroyd is on guitar, with Curtis playing a tambourine as Culkin took on the drums and Griffine Dunne played the keyboard.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Curtis talked about her memories from making the film, including her admiration for her young costars.

Watching a clip from the film, Curtis remarked, "This is emotional for me because they were so young,"

"I loved My Girl. That was another beautiful, unexpected, beautiful little bit of work and a wonderful character that I got to play," she continued. "I've played a lot of moms, worked with a lot of young actors, and Macaulay and Anna were so great."

Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY December 2, 2025 at 12:59 AM

Whitney Leavitt is riding the wave of her controversial "Dancing with the Stars" run all the way to Broadway.

The "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star, 32, will play the role of Roxie Hart in "Chicago" on Broadway, she announced Dec. 1 on Instagram. Her stint in the storied musical will begin Feb. 2 at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City and run through March 15.

The announcement follows a tumultuous season on "DWTS," where Leavitt impressed judges with her dancing chops but struggled against a tidal wave of online hate, some stemming from her actions filmed on previous seasons of "Mormon Wives."

Mark Ballas and Whitney Leavitt perform their freestyle on "Call Her Daddy."

Blistered ankles. Teased hair. My weekend on 'Dancing with the Stars'

Despite strong technical skills, Leavitt was eliminated before the finals of "Dancing with the Stars," failing to earn enough fan votes to advance to the end of the competition. Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin ultimately nabbed the Mirrorball trophy.

Leavitt and her pro partner from the show, Mark Ballas, performed their final dance on an episode of "Call Her Daddy," during which she recounted the difficulty of the show's fanbase turning against her.

"I am used to the hate. And so with Season 1 and Season 2 of 'Secret Lives and Mormon Wives' being out, like I just didn't think I was going to make it that far in 'Dancing with the Stars' because I already knew the persona that I had in the media," she told host Alex Cooper. "So I didn't think people were going to really vote for me."

Her casting in "Chicago" finds easy roots in her time on "Dancing." Mid-season, she and Ballas performed an Argentine Tango to "Cell Block Tango," an iconic sequence from the show. It also slots into a growing trend on Broadway of outside celebrities dropping in for a guest-starring stint, some say to raise the profile of a struggling industry.

Leavitt follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who have played Roxie, including fellow reality TV stars Ariana Maddix, Erika Jayne and Lisa Rinna, as well as actress Melanie Griffith.

How to get tickets to 'Chicago'

Tickets for the show are available now via the official "Chicago" musical website.

"I had looked through other dresses that were featured in Le Bal in previous years, and they all individually represented the girls so beautifully. I just hoped to find a dress that would do the same for me."

Serena Williams said she struggled in the beginning of her tennis career because she had a different body type than other athletes

The 44-year-old said she thought she was "large" her entire life, but now she realizes she was "fit" and just had "big muscles"

She admitted that she stopped reading articles about herself and said she's glad things are starting to change for the next generation of Black tennis stars

Serena Williams is opening up about overcoming her struggles with body image early on in her career.

In the latest cover story for NET-A-PORTER's digital title, PORTER, the tennis star, 44, reflected on how difficult it was to have a different physique than other athletes.

"It was hard because when I was playing in the beginning – the first 15 years – my body was different," she told the outlet. "I had big boobs; I had a big butt. Every athlete was like super flat, super thin and beautiful, but in a different way. And I didn't understand as an athlete how to deal with that."

"It does affect you mentally. Absolutely," she continued. "You think you're large for your whole life and you look [back] and you're like, I was fit. Yeah, I had big muscles. I didn't look like these other girls but not everyone looks the same."

Williams explained that the comparisons and criticism took such a toll on her body image that she ultimately decided not to read any comments about her.

"When I was 17, when I won the Open for the first time, I took a decision there. I was so young, but I said I'm never going to read anything about me," she said. "At the Open, there was so much positivity, and I thought, I don't want my head to get too big. I wanted to stay humble. I also thought if it's negative, I don't want to read it. I never really read an article after that."

That's one of the reasons why the 23-time Grand Slam champion is often praised for her resiliency, because she's been able to block out the noise.

"Growing up and being Black in tennis, it's just like, well, that comes with negativity… You have something mean to say, get in line. You got to go way back. It's going to take you a few days to get there. Join the crowd," she said. "I don't hear the noise. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. How am I going to sit here and change someone's thought? If [you] don't like me, you don't have to."

Williams said she's glad that things are starting to change and get better for the young Black tennis players who are at the top of their game today, like Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka.

"It's changed," she said. "No one's calling these girls the [things] I was called. People would say we were like men and all this other stuff."

"I'm not going to let anyone bring me down," she continued. "I put enough stress on myself. The last thing I'm going to allow is someone else to do that. But I'm so happy that girls nowadays don't have to go through it as much. I mean, I think internet trolls are different. So, you have that to deal with…"
