'He should NOT be paroled': RFK's widow Ethel Kennedy, 93, joins six of her children in objecting to release of assassin Sirhan Sirhan - in opposition to sons RFK Jr and Bobby

Sirhan Sirhan, 77, was recommended to be released on parole by a California panel on August 27 after 53 years in prison for murder (Pictured at his parole hearing on August 27)  Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel Kennedy, 93, released an official statement on Tuesday claiming that her husband's killer Sirhan Sirhan, 77, should not be paroled.  The Kennedy family has been publicly divided since August 27 when a California panel recommended that RFK's assassin Sirhan be granted parole after nearly five decades in prison.   Six of the nine surviving children of the slain New York Senator issued a statement that day announcing that they were 'devastated' by the San Diego panel's ruling.  But two of RFK's children, Douglas Kennedy, 54, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 67, have supported Sirhan's parole.  On Tuesday, widow Ethel released an official statement which read: 'Bobby believed we should work to 'tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of the

Poignant clip of Michael K. Williams and Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations resurfaces as fans draw comparisons between the troubled legends

A 2012 episode of No Reservations featuring Michael K. Williams and Anthony Bourdain has resurfaced, prompting fans to draw comparisons between the Wire star and travel show host who both battled their demons, and lost.  Williams, 54, died of a suspected overdose at his luxury Brooklyn apartment where he was found on Monday, next to drug paraphernalia. News of Bourdain's death was similarly shocking, after he committed suicide in a hotel room in France in June, 2018.    Both men had highly publicized battles with heroin and suffered from addiction and depression. Yet both were able to achieve greatness in their fields; with Williams putting in unforgettable performances as Omar in The Wire, Albert 'Chalky' White on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire and most recently as Montrose Freeman in Lovecraft Country.  Bourdain, similarly, shook the restauranting world with book Kitchen Confidential, about life as a chef in New York's restaurant scene, and went on to travel the worl

9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed SMILES and waves during his first appearance in the Guantanamo Bay court in 500 days

Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, known as 'KSM,' appeared in court for the terrorist attack along with four other Guantanamo Bay detainees for the first time in more than a year on Tuesday.   KSM and his co-defendants were said to appear in good spirits, smiling with Mohammed waving to the gallery. The defendants are charged with crimes including terrorism, hijacking and 2,976 counts of murder for their alleged roles planning and providing logistical support to the Sept. 11 plot. They could get the death penalty if convicted at the military commission, which combines elements of civilian and military law.  According to the 9/11 commission report, KSM was the 'principal architect' behind the attacks. He was a close ally of Osama bin Laden.  Mohammed is being tried alongside his nephew,  Ammar Baluchi, who wired money to the 9/11 hijackers from inside the US, alleged hijacking trainer Walid bin Attash, Ramzi bin Shibh and Mustafa Hawsawi, who allegedly drummed

EXCLUSIVE: Mohamed Hadid's elation over his legal victory in battle with his neighbors could be short-lived as the Bel Air mega-mansion he planned to sell for $100M will be auctioned for just $8M - and then be demolished

Property developer Mohamed Hadid's victory Friday in his neighbors' lawsuit over his notorious Los Angeles mega-mansion could be short-lived, DailyMail.com can reveal. The giant hilltop house towering over Bel Air goes on the auction block later this month with an asking price of $8million. And if a buyer shows up with enough bucks, the half-built luxury palace the father of supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid once hoped to sell for $100 million, will instead be torn down and reduced to a pile of rubble and dust. The arrival of a wrecking ball to demolish the controversial structure will be a welcome sight for Hadid's neighbors, Joe and Bibi Horacek and John and Judy Bedrosian, who estimated they spent $9million in legal fees fighting Hadid and asked a jury to give them $26million in damages - but ended up being awarded barely $3million. The destruction of the giant house looming ominously over their tranquil homes can't come soon enough for these residents who told during

The Wire star Michael K. Williams 'may have overdosed on FENTANYL' police sources say as they hunt for his drug dealer: Actor went into therapy after filming latest HBO project Lovecraft Country

Michael K. Williams may have died of a fentanyl overdose inside his Brooklyn penthouse on Monday, leading police to launch an investigation in an effort to find the actor's drug dealer, according to NYPD sources.  The Wire star was found dead by a concerned relative inside his apartment in a Williamsburg high-rise. Police who were summoned to the scene were said to have recovered drug paraphernalia. Although it was previously reported that heroin may have claimed the life of the 54-year-old Boardwalk Empire alum, two senior NYPD officials told NBC New York that fentanyl was being eyed as the culprit.  Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. It can cause death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances. The medical examiner's office will conduct an autopsy to determine Williams' cause and manner of death.  Michael K. Williams said he started therapy after filming wrapped up on the HBO series
