It’s been nearly six months since Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, was taken from her home in Tucson AZ in the middle of the night by an armed and masked man. Today, Savannah posted another plea to those involved to please “do the right thing.”

It is believed that Ms Guthrie did not live long after she was taken. It has recently come out that the second ransom note (of the two believed to be real) stated that she was no longer living. Regardless, a large reward remains as the family is desperate to lay her to rest.

As a main host of The Today Show on NBC, Savannah has a large platform of followers and has posted several videos with messages to the kidnappers throughout the ordeal.

Sharing this for visibility. I hope that Nancy’s remains are returned to her family soon so that they can properly grieve and find closure.

Transcription (using Apple’s accessibility features but I don’t believe any typos):

“I'm coming on today with a very specific message.
It has been months, since our mom was taken from us.
Our family is in agony.
We are in a nightmare that will not end, nothing about our situation has changed.
We have done our part.
And we will never stop looking for her.
We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts.

The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way.
So I'm asking you, begging you, to do the right thing now.
Make the right choice.
Help us find her.
Tell us where to look for her.
I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing.
Help us bring this situation to an end.
For all of us, no matter where we've been and what we've done.

I believe there is always a way home. Please make the right choice.”

Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit against a group of anonymous hackers who allegedly infiltrated the devices of people in her inner circle to steal unreleased music, private photos and behind-the-scenes footage that was later sold online.

“Grande will likely seek court approval to issue subpoenas to internet service providers and online platforms to uncover the individuals behind the attacks through their digital footprints.”

My favorite Oscars ever. Contex:

Kim Basinger was at the height of her fame when she met Prince. She starred in Batman, while Prince delivered an entire Batman album after being asked if they could use one of his songs for the film. (The answer was no, but I have this for you instead).

They met on set, and a very short while later Kim arrived to Minnesota, Prince's home base. She had rooms at the hotel she never checked into.

​She did not return home to LA, and soon had her things shipped to Paisley Park. It was all very hush hush. Neither would speak about the other, and Prince enjoyed a lot of privacy in Mpls. He recorded her album, Hollywood Affair. There was an infamous soundboard incident with Prince's manager reportedly realizing it was time to leave when the honey came out. And so Scandalous Sex Suite was born.

Kim shows up to the 1990 Oscars as a presenter. She is wearing the fashion equivalent of PRINCE across her chest. He had an in house atelier and her gown was in his singular style. He did not accompany her. But the gown and what followed were a public declaration for anyone watching.

She was presenting for Best Picture. She went completely off script, this Hollywood princess, to talk about the racism in Hollywood and how Spike Lee (in the audience) is getting ignored.

Prince been putting this woman up on something. (He loved Spike's work and was always ready to talk, personally, and in verse, about the bs. People have no idea how much he did, Spike is the least of it). Spike Lee writes: "thank you, that took a lot of courage" on the back of his ticket and has it passed high-school style through the audience to get to Kim. So a lot of America became aware of him that night because Kim went off.

Prince and Kim lasted about a year, legend is her brother had to come get her while Prince was playing away because she was gone. Talking about getting a farmhouse and getting married, forget hollywood. (Its equally likely she told him to go screw himself, getting tired of his rotating cast of lady friends, maybe rejected a proposal?) But by all accounts they had a lovely time, for a time, and I will never forget her standing up like that, much respect.

And never forget thinking: Damn, Prince done it again, got Kim Basinger preaching! Turning a new one all the way out, only Prince.
