Jay Leno shares rare update on wife Mavis during her ‘tricky’ dementia battle

Jay Leno denied that taking care of his wife, Mavis Leno, is “work” in a touching interview about her “tricky” dementia battle.

The former talk show host, 75, gave a rare update about his partner’s health to People on Sunday, saying he “like[s] taking care” of the 79-year-old and “enjoy[s] her company.” He gushed, “We have a good time. We have fun with it, and it is what it is.”

Jay insisted over the weekend that the caretaking is “not terrible,” pointing out that he is “lucky” because “it’s not cancer [and] not a tumor.” He acknowledged, “There are going to be a couple of years that are tricky. So, the first 46 [years of our marriage were] really great. But it’s OK.”

“I’m not a woe-is-me person,” Jay added.

The former “Tonight Show” host married Mavis in November 1980. In January, the Emmy winner filed for a conservatorship over Mavis following her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. He shared at the time his plans “to execute an estate plan, including a revocable trust and will, which will provide for Mavis and Mavis’s brother and her sole living heir aside from Jay.” The conservatorship was granted three months later.

Jay spoke about Mavis’ condition in April, addressing the “challenge” of caring for his wife. The comedian, who has to “find the humor” in his situation to navigate it, told “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast listeners that a moment like this “really defines a marriage.”

He explained, “I mean, that’s really what love is. That’s what you do.” Jay quipped, “When you get married, you sort of take a vow: ‘Will I live up to this? Or will I be, like, a sleazy guy [where] if something happens to my wife, I’m out banging the cashier at the mini mart?’”

The couple’s marriage has not changed in their 45 years together except, he joked, “now I have to feed her.”

Don’t panic over tech, AI stocks selloff, analysts dismiss fears

There was a clear change in mood across world markets on Wednesday as tech stocks experienced sharp declines from record highs and some stretched valuations. Until this week, traders had been happy to overlook warnings, rising prices, and doubts about whether the most popular companies had justified the surge in their share prices.

Now, the drop has forced investors to reflect on whether the gains had gone too far and too fast. However, even with some large names losing billions in value in a matter of hours, most heavyweight fund managers insisted this was not a full-blown crisis moment, but more of a short wobble after a long winning streak.

### Experts Still Favor AI and Tech Stocks

Shares across Asia were sold down for the second day in a row, with indices in Seoul and Tokyo roughly 5% below earlier highs logged only on Tuesday morning. Nasdaq futures were also weaker, even after the US benchmark had already fallen 2% the day before.

The biggest hits were taken by the same stocks that had ridden the boom on the way up. Nvidia, which only a year or two ago was little known outside specialist circles, has since become the most valuable company on the planet due to the AI rush. The company slid nearly 4% on Tuesday and was around 7% below last month’s top.

Palantir, another strong favorite during the boom, fell almost 8% on the day and then slipped a further 3% in after-hours trade.

### Profit-Taking and Market Timing

Some managers blamed timing. With the year-end window in sight, there is little incentive to let paper gains reverse if the market begins to swing the wrong way.

One investor in Hong Kong described the decline as more about locking in profits than abandoning AI. Meanwhile, another investor in Sydney said he was not afraid to step in and buy while others were rushing for the exits, though he admitted he could be wrong.

There was also a warning from South Korea’s exchange regarding the chipmaker SK Hynix. The statement was routine, but because the firm had already tripled in value over twelve months, the caution was enough to spark a two-day drop of about 6%.

### Underlying Market Concerns

The market had already been wrestling with a long list of worries in recent weeks: high borrowing costs, stubborn inflation, and ongoing trade disputes. However, US markets still climbed by more than 50% from April before the latest fall, showing how strong the momentum behind AI names had become.

Sentiment in Europe softened as well. Tech was the weakest part of the main European index, and the German DAX also dipped. The Dutch AEX, where ASML—a key supplier to Nvidia—trades, also slipped.

Some top Wall Street bosses, including the chiefs of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, have wondered aloud whether stock prices can remain at these heights without further proof of sustained profits. One economist in Europe said conditions generally still looked favorable but acknowledged that valuations had become severe, leaving almost no space for mistakes.

### Market Movers Before US Opening Bell

Among the names moving before the US opening bell were AMD and Super Micro Computer, both down more than 4%, while some of the older tech giants held steadier. Meta even managed a small gain.

Chinese markets bucked the trend slightly, lifting in response to news that Beijing would suspend part of its tariffs on US goods for a year.

### Safe Haven Assets and Cryptocurrency

Safe haven assets firmed as gold rose by almost 1% to sit near $1,963 an ounce, and government bonds were steady, holding yields near 4.09% on US ten-year paper. Bitcoin, which has swung wildly for months, briefly dipped below $100,000 before bouncing back above that level.

### Conclusion

Even after the turbulence, no major investor said the AI boom was dead. The recent downturn appears to be a pause rather than a pivot, with many experts still bullish on the long-term potential of AI and tech stocks.

How A Disgraced U.S. President Forced Steve Rogers To Quit Being Captain America

There have been several heroes to take on the mantle of Captain America beyond Steve Rogers. But on at least one occasion, a replacement was needed not because Rogers was gone, but because he no longer wanted to represent the U.S. government.

This pivotal moment happens in a 1974 storyline where Rogers walks away from his role as Captain America after the U.S. President is revealed to be behind a criminal plot. Though the president’s face is never shown, the intention of writer Steve Englehart (who once wrote a Doctor Strange story you’ll never see on the big screen) was that it was the disgraced President Richard Nixon. Englehart confirmed this in a 2017 interview with Newsarama.

“I was reacting to Watergate,” Englehart said, referencing the scandal that saw Nixon caught in a corruption probe and forced to resign. Because Marvel Comics ostensibly takes place in the real world, Englehart felt this level of government scandal had to be addressed by Captain America.
“Some of it was just hubris and luck — they could have convicted Nixon the next day, and I would have been writing a story about something that was already over with. But it looked like it was going on for a while, so I capitalized on that,” he explained.

However, Englehart isn’t sure such a story could work today, even with figures like Donald Trump — the twice-impeached president who regularly flouts the Constitution and ignores court orders.
“In those days, there was a real idealism in the air,” he said. “And the thought that the president of the United States could commit such a crime was unthinkable.”

### Captain America and the Oval Office

The “Secret Empire” storyline wasn’t the only time Steve Rogers has been involved with the White House. Elsewhere in the comics and beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Captain America has found himself in politics — at times running for office and even assuming the role of President of the United States.

The first run-in with the Oval Office came in 1980, in *Captain America* #250. In that issue, a group of populists tries to persuade Rogers, the Sentinel of Liberty, to run for president. Although Cap ultimately dismisses the idea at that time, he does run in a 21st-century storyline set in an alternate continuity known as the Ultimate Universe.

In *Ultimate Comics: Ultimates* #15, a national crisis prompts an emergency write-in vote for a new American president. Steve Rogers wins and steps in as President of the United States. This storyline is part of a massive arc that sees America torn apart from within, with Hydra once again rising to threaten the nation.

### Captain America as President Onscreen

Steve Rogers’ presidential story doesn’t end in the comics. In the MCU, he also becomes President — but in an unexpected place: the animated *What If…?* series. Although we don’t see much of him serving in this role, Steve Rogers is shown taking the oath of office on television in an alternate timeline.

Could something like this play out in live-action, perhaps with Chris Evans returning to portray President Cap? With rumors swirling about *Avengers: Secret Wars* introducing countless new realities, anything is possible.

Captain America’s legacy as both a superhero and a symbol of American idealism continues to evolve, reflecting the complexities of the world around him — from Watergate to modern political turbulence, and perhaps beyond.

After a month, JLR to resume manufacturing cars from tomorrow

**JLR to Resume Manufacturing Cars Starting Tomorrow Following Cyberattack**

*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 07, 2025, 04:23 PM*

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a phased resumption of production at its UK manufacturing facilities, starting tomorrow. This follows over a month-long halt caused by a cyberattack in late August that disrupted the company’s global manufacturing and retail operations.

**An Important Step in Recovery**

Adrian Mardell, JLR’s outgoing CEO, described the restart as an “important moment” in the company’s recovery process. While acknowledging there is still significant work ahead, Mardell emphasized that JLR is now firmly on the path to recovery.

To aid this process, JLR has introduced a new short-term financing scheme designed to provide upfront cash to its suppliers, helping them manage cash flows as production ramps up again.

**Phased Restart Across Key Facilities**

The phased production restart will begin at JLR’s West Midlands sites, including the engine plant in Wolverhampton and the battery assembly facility in Hams Hall near Birmingham. Key stamping plants located in Castle Bromwich and Solihull will also resume operations.

In addition, the body shop, paint shop, and logistics center at Solihull vehicle manufacturing plant will restart. However, the restart at the Halewood plant on Merseyside remains pending further updates.

**Global Production Updates**

JLR’s vehicle production in Nitra, Slovakia, is set to resume soon. Meanwhile, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport production lines at Solihull are expected to restart later this week. Some employees have already returned to work at the Wolverhampton site as of Monday.

**Supporting Suppliers with New Financing Scheme**

To support its suppliers during this challenging period, JLR has launched a new short-term financing scheme. Under this scheme, suppliers will receive most of their payments upfront once an order is placed, with the final payment made upon invoice receipt. This initiative aims to accelerate payments by up to 120 days, significantly easing suppliers’ cash flow pressures.

Mardell highlighted the scheme’s importance in sustaining supplier relationships and ensuring a smoother production restart.

With the phased resumption underway and supplier support in place, JLR is making crucial strides toward full operational recovery following the cyberattack disruption.

Aahana Kumra receives death, rape threats from Pawan Singh fans

**Aahana Kumra Receives Death and Rape Threats from Pawan Singh Fans**

*By Shreya Mukherjee | October 6, 2025, 11:18 AM*

Actor Aahana Kumra, recently evicted from the reality show *Rise And Fall*, has opened up about receiving severe death and rape threats from fans of fellow contestant Pawan Singh. Despite publicly reconciling with Singh on stage, the online harassment persisted, prompting Kumra to report the incidents to the show’s makers.

**Harsh Threats and Online Abuse**

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Kumra revealed the extent of the abuse she faced. “I came out of the show and got a lot of death and rape threats,” she said. She also shared that she had forwarded screenshots of these threats to the show’s producers.

Kumra expressed her confusion over the hostility, stating, “So why was I getting such threats? Maine toh aisi koi baat nahi kahi thi (I didn’t say any such thing).” She made it clear that she neither used abusive language nor behaved offensively during the show.

**Shocked by the Intensity of the Threats**

Reflecting on the experience, Kumra said, “I was like, oh wow, hum log kaunse zamane mein reh rahe hain? (What era are we living in?) Kis sadi me hai ki meri ek baat kehney par mujhe itney threats mil rahe hai – par kisi aur ko kuch nahi kaha ja raha (Which century is this where I’m getting so many threats just for saying one thing, while no one else is getting targeted).”

**Resolution and Reconciliation**

Despite the initial backlash, Kumra shared that the issue was resolved on stage. She said, “In fact, today I hold him in high regard, kyunki bahut contestants ne mere baare mein bahut kuch kaha aur aaj tak sorry nahi bola (because many contestants said a lot about me and haven’t apologized to this day).”

She recalled a heartfelt moment when she touched Pawan Singh’s mother’s feet as a gesture of respect, which Singh acknowledged openly during the show.

**Understanding Fan Reactions but Seeking Respect**

Kumra acknowledged that fans can get emotional. “I understand ki log gussa ho jaate hain, aur unhe lagta hai ki maine kuch aisa keh diya jo unhe bura laga (I understand that people get angry, and they feel that I said something that hurt them).” However, she hoped that fans would respect the reconciliation between her and Singh.

**About Aahana Kumra**

Outside the realm of reality TV, Aahana Kumra was last seen in the film *Salaam Venky*, starring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa, which released in December 2022.
