her permanent move to the UK.The former talk show host, 67, set up camp in the English countryside with her wife, Portia de Rossi, four months ago after buying a sprawling $18 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds.DeGeneres, who had once boasted an impressive real estate portfolio in the US, earlier this month sold her two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Montecito, Calif.On March 10, Degeneres and the “Arrested Development” alum, 52, listed their sprawling Cali pad for $4,995,000 — four years after they purchased it for $2.9 million.Less than two weeks later, the 1,691-square-foot Spanish bungalow has sold for $5.2 million.The property went into escrow on March 20, after receiving “multiple offers within two days of hitting the market,” a rep for the listing told People.According to the property’s listing, the midcentury-modern home boasts “spa-like” bathrooms, a private courtyard, a terrace and an enclosed patio.The pad, built in 1954 and remodeled in 2012, became the couple’s third property they purchased within a year, according to Architectural Digest.The sale comes just four months after the pair — who wed in 2008 — decided to relocate to England in the wake of President Trump’s election victory.In the UK, the couple purchased a stunning farmhouse in the hoity-toity area for an eye-popping $18 million — some $3 million over the asking price.Still, it’s not all been smooth sailing for the duo, who recently clashed with the British neighbors over an extension at her multimillion-dollar home.While it’s not clear exactly why the pair decided on the Cotswolds, the region is a picturesque and wealthy part of England, with many British stars boasting country houses there.Their star-studded list of neighbors includes David and

Lia Thomas to compete in 2022.Thomas originally competed for the men’s swim team but competed on the women’s team following her transition.She complied with what NCAA regulations regarding transgender athlete eligibility were at the time, undergoing hormone therapy for a year before competing.In 2022, Thomas began breaking school and meet records, becoming the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming championship medal in the Division I women’s 500-yard freestyle event.She also placed fifth in the 200-yard freestyle — tying with Riley Gaines, who has since marshaled her anger over Thomas’ participation into becoming an anti-transgender activist — and eighth in the 100-yard freestyle at the championships.Since taking office, President Trump has promised to direct the Department of Education to investigate schools that allow (or have allowed) transgender athletes to compete on sports teams aligning with their gender identity.Trump made that promise to investigate specific colleges with known cases of transgender athletes while signing an executive order barring transgender females from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.That order threatens to strip funds away from those schools, allowing transgender athletes to participate on female-designated sports teams.The federal money — which came from the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services — was suspended in a separate review of discretionary federal money going to universities, according to a White House official, reports The Associated Press.A senior White House official confirmed to NBC News that the agencies paused the funds specifically because of Thomas’ 2022 participation.

This is Gavin Newsom, in which he seeks to interview “the biggest leaders and architects in the MAGA movement.”In the episode, Newsom interviewed conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk, executive director of the conservative youth-focused Turning Point USA.Newsom asked Kirk what advice he would give to the Democratic Party.“Get better ideas, governor,” Kirk replied, before railing against transgender inclusion in sports, specifically a transgender high school athlete who won the triple jump event at a California track and field invitational.“You, right now, should come out and be like, ‘You know what? The young man who’s about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports — that shouldn’t happen,'” Kirk said. “You, as the governor, should step out and say, ‘No.'”“I think it’s an issue of fairness,” Newsom replied.

resolution states that the Board of Regents finds that “it is inconsistent” with the university’s core values, including respect for others, to allow special event venues on the university’s campuses to host drag shows “that involve biological males dressing in women’s clothing, wearing exaggerated female make up and/or exaggerated prosthetics meant to parody the female body type, and that are: open to the public; involve sexualized, vulgar or lewd conduct; and involve conduct that demeans women.”The resolution claims that drag shows are likely to “create or contribute to a hostile environment for women” in violation of Title IX’s prohibitions on sex-based discrimination and involve “the mockery or objectification of women.”The resolution cites President Donald Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, based on biology, which prohibits federal funds from being used to “promote gender ideology,” and a directive from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering state agencies to comply with Trump’s order.It also asserts that allowing drag shows to take place on university campuses violates that order.The resolution, adopted unanimously by the board, will likely spark a First Amendment fight over whether the ban on drag shows infringes on students’ free speech and freedom of expression.Historically, Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi and East Texas A&M University have hosted drag shows, with the university’s main College Station campus hosting “Draggieland,” an award-winning drag event that has been held annually.By passing the resolution, this year’s Draggieland event, initially scheduled for March 27 at the Rudder Theatre in College Station, is now imperiled.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor CBS has asked the FCC to reject a complaint by a right-wing public interest law firm alleging a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris represented “news distortion” — with the Paramount Global-owned broadcaster saying the complaint is premised on the notion that the U.S. government can be a “roving censor.” Last October, the Center for American Rights filed a complaint accusing CBS’s WCBS station in New York of “significant and intentional news distortion” through an interview with Harris on “Face the Nation” and “60 Minutes” that had “two conflicting responses.” Separately, President Trump sued CBS over the same interview, demanding $20 billion in damages and alleging violation of a consumer protection law; Paramount and CBS filed motions March 6 seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it an “affront to the First Amendment.” CBS, in its March 7 response to the FCC over the Center for American Rights complaint, said that “The Complaint filed against CBS for ‘news distortion’ envisions a less free world in which the federal government becomes a roving censor — one that second guesses and even punishes specific editorial decisions that are an essential part of producing news programming.” “The protections of the First Amendment apply to all Americans, including broadcasters like CBS and its stations,” CBS said in the filing.
