‘Spaceballs 2’ Casts Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman & Keke Palmer


EXCLUSIVE: Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to reprise their respective roles as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet in the new Spaceballs movie from Amazon MGM Studios, with Keke Palmer (One of Them Days) joining the cast, sources tell Deadline.

Amazon declined to comment, and character details for Palmer are under wraps, as is the sequel’s plot. The addition of Moranis is particularly striking, as the actor hasn’t been seen much on screen for decades. As announced this morning, the original film’s director and star, Mel Brooks, will also feature in the cast once again, reprising his role as Yogurt. Slated for release in theaters in 2027, the film has been described by those who have not yet read the script as “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”

Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) will direct from a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad, as announced in June of last year. Gad is also expected to star and will produce alongside Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody, Brooks, and Greenbaum, with Kevin Salter, Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez exec producing.

Released by MGM in 1987, the original Spaceballs is an iconic send-up of the sci-fi genre, which took inspiration from the Star Wars franchise and other classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey. The plot revolves around the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) and President Skroob (Brooks), who attempt to steal the atmosphere of the peaceful planet Druidia, only to be thwarted by the hero Lone Starr (Pullman), his sidekick Barf (John Candy), and the Druish princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Others in the cast included Joan Rivers and Dick Van Patten. The film grossed just over $38.1 worldwide but has endured over the years as a cult classic.

Otherwise best known for turns in iconic works like Independence Day and David Lynch’s Lost Highway, Pullman has most recently been seen starring in series like The Sinner, as well as films including The High Note and Dark Waters. Upcoming, he has the Duffer Brothers’ Netflix series The Boroughs, A24’s Famous opposite Zac Efron, and more.

An icon of the ’80s and ’90s, Moranis rose to fame with roles in Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids films and more, after writing and starring in famed Canadian sketch series SCTV. Famously, he for the most part stepped away from acting in the late ’90s, focusing on raising his children following the passing of his wife, costume designer Ann Belsky. Most recently, he teamed with Ryan Reynolds on a 2020 ad for Mint Mobile.

Palmer is coming off of success with One of Them Days, a TriStar buddy comedy where she stars opposite SZA, which recently got a sequel set up for development. Next up, she’ll be seen in The Pickup, Amazon’s heist comedy out August 6, opposite Eddie Murphy; Aziz Ansari’s Lionsgate comedy Good Fortune, out October 17; and Boots Riley’s Neon pic I Love Boosters.

Pullman is repped by CAA; Moranis by Bailey Brand Management and Nelson Davis; and Palmer by 3 Arts and Hertz Lichtenstein.

JetBlue plane veers off runway after landing at Boston’s Logan Airport – Boston News, Weather, Sports

JetBlue plane veers off runway after landing at Boston’s Logan Airport – Boston News, Weather, Sports


BOSTON (WHDH) – A ground stop was in place at Boston’s Logan International Airport Thursday afternoon due to a plane off the runway.

At around 11:55 a.m., JetBlue Airways Flight 312 skidded into the grass while turning off the runway after landing, according to a statement from the FAA. A ground stop was immediately issued for all flights departing from the airport.

Emergency crews were at the scene. At least one person was seen being assisted off of the plane, while others walked down a set of stairs to the tarmac.

No injuries were reported, according to the Massachusetts State Police. The passengers were taken by bus to the terminal after the incident, the FAA said.

According to the plane tracking website FlightAware, JetBlue Flight 312 had just arrived at Logan at around 11:49 a.m. from Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

“The landing was exceedingly rough, but I’m very glad that the pilot had her head about her and just stopped the plane in the grass,” said passenger Melinda Wang, of Seattle. “It was actually very calm. We all kind of trusted that they knew what to do, and they did.”

Wang flew into Boston to visit her daughter, who lives in Brighton. She said she is an experienced flier and hadn’t dealt with any significant airplane issues before this one.

“You were being just absolutely bumped around. It was unlike any other thing I’ve experienced in flight, and I fly a lot,” she said.

Passenger Drew Greenberg echoed a similar sentiment about the landing.

“In my head I was like that was a pretty weird. Felt like a rough landing. Put up my window and we were in the middle of the grass. So, that was pretty interesting, yeah,” said Greenberg.

JetBlue sent out a statement regarding the incident Thursday, echoing that the plane had veered off the runway.

“Safety is JetBlue’s top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause,” the airline said.

The plane was moved off the grass hours later after the NTSB gave Logan the green light to do so.

Some passengers shared sentiments of worry, regarding previous aviation issues that occurred this year, now experiencing this one.

“I’m aware in the news there’s been a lot of trouble with planes and aviation lately. But definitely keep me second guessing and now I’m a little scared on my flight home on Sunday,” said passenger Adam Glick, who was coming in from Chicago.

JetBlue flight rolls off runway at Boston’s Logan Airport upon arrival from Chicago


A JetBlue flight landing at Logan Airport in Boston from Chicago rolled off the runway and on to the grass Thursday morning. Airport officials said there were no reports of injuries.

The Airbus A220 arrived from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport just before noon. A photo taken by a passenger on another plane showed multiple fire engines and emergency vehicles responding to the scene.

A Massport spokesperson said runway 33-L was closed while crews assessed the plane. Passengers used stairs to get off the plane and were bused to the terminal.

“JetBlue Airways Flight 312 went into the grass while turning off the runway at Boston Logan International Airport around 11:55 a.m. local time on Thursday, June 12,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. 

JetBlue pilot reported steering problems

Passengers on board told WBZ-TV that there was no indication of any problems before landing. But after touching down, they said the pilot came on the intercom to say that she had trouble with the steering on the plane.

In an air traffic control transmission provided by LiveATC.net, Flight 312 can be heard telling the tower “Yeah, so we had no steering on this runway here.”

Passenger Drew Behmoiras said he could feel the plane turning left upon landing.

“At first no one really seemed super worried, it felt like a smooth landing. But we fully went left, veered off the runway while we were still at full speed,” he said. “Everyone’s OK, thank God. Definitely not flying JetBlue for a while.”

Adam Glick from Chicago said this was his “first real plane scare” but he feels lucky that no one was hurt.

“The pilot said she lost full control of the steering wheel, which is very alarming,” he said. “You never know, something could have been worse.” 

“Safety is JetBlue’s top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause,” a JetBlue spokesperson said in a statement.

Ground delay at Boston’s Logan Airport

The FAA declared a ground stop after the incident “due to aircraft emergency.” As of about 2 p.m., the agency said there were ground delays averaging nearly two hours because of the incident.

Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt

Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt


Hollywood legend Mel Brooks — who will turn 99 later this month — is officially a go to appear in an untitled Space Balls sequel that will be released in theaters in 2027 by Amazon MGM Studios, the company announced Thursday.

Brooks will reprise the role of Yogurt in the follow-up to his 1987 cult-classic comedy spoofing Star Wars and other films of the era (think of his character as a tongue-and-check Yoda). Brooks directed and co-wrote the original film, along with playing dual roles (the other was the inept President Skrood).

This time out, Josh Greenbaum is helming the comedy from a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez and Josh Gad, who is also rumored to star. Amazon isn’t commenting on further casting at this time.

Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody are producing the Spaceballs sequel — which has been in development for several years — alongside Gad, Brooks and Greenbaum. Kevin Slater, Adam Merims, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez will executive produce. 

Aside from voice projects, the last time Brooks appeared on the big screen was when making cameo appearances in 2005’s The Producers, the movie adaptation of his hit Broadway musical, which in turn was based on his 1967 film of the same name. Brooks — the director and writer of such defining comedies as Young Frankenstein, HIgh Anxiety and Blazing Saddles — is an EGOT, among a litany of other accolades.

Details regarding the storyline of the new Spaceballs movie are being kept under tight wraps, although in appropriate comedic fashion, Amazon MGM’s press release included the following: “While the title, plot details, and rest of cast are being kept under wraps, the film has been described by those who have not yet read the script as ‘A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two’ but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”

An exact release date will be announced at a later time by Amazon MGM, which is making an aggressive push into the theatrical space.

Originally released by MGM in 1987 — a decade after George Lucas’ sci-fi classic Star Wars first debuted — Spaceballs starred Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis and Daphne Zuniga, as well as a voice role for Joan Rivers as a C-3P0 parody. The film earned $38.1 million at the box office ($105 million in today’s dollars) and wasn’t exactly a hit and earned mixed critical reviews. But in subsequent years, it has become a cult hit and is considered one of Brooks’ signature films.

Gad teased work on the project in 2024 with a cryptic Instagram post that blocked out certain sections on the script’s cover page.

“Just handed in a film script that I think may be the funniest and best thing I’ve ever worked on and I am so freaking excited,” Gad captioned the post at the time. He added that working with Samit and Hernandez “has been heaven on Earth and many other planets as well. Love you boys!”

Writing partners Samit and Hernandez are known for their work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Mutant Mayhem, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, Addams Family 2 and the Disney+/Lucasfilm special Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy.

Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt for ‘Spaceballs’ Sequel


May the Schwartz be with you!

Mel Brooks, who wrote, directed and starred in the original 1987 “Spaceballs,” is reprising his role of Yogurt for the Josh Gad led sequel. Amazon MGM Studios has scheduled the film for a theatrical release in 2027.

“Will & Harper” director Josh Greenbaum will helm the film with a script from Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez and Gad. Cast members outside of Gad and Brooks are currently unknown. Plot details also remain under wraps, but a tentative logline, laden with Brooks-era humor, describes the movie as, “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”

Brooks, who holds the coveted title of EGOT, is one of the greatest comedic filmmakers in the history of Hollywood. Over his storied career, he directed, wrote and acted (or sang) in immortal classics such as “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein,” “History of the World: Part 1” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.”

Samit and Hernandez previously collaborated on films like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” and “Addams Family 2.” They will soon pen the upcoming Disney+/Lucasfilm collaboration, “Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy.”

Gad, who got his breakout role in Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “The Book of Mormon,” catapulted to global fame voicing Olaf the snowman in Disney’s wildly popular “Frozen” franchise. He will soon make his directorial debut with a Chris Farley biopic starring Paul Walter Hauser.

Producers include Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody under the Imagine Entertainment banner, as well as Gad, Brooks and Greenbaum. Kevin Salter, Adam Merims, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez serve as executive producers.

MGM’s original “Spaceballs” starred Bill Pullman as Lone Star, John Candy as Barf, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, Rick Moranis as Lord Dark Helmet and Brooks as President Skroob and Yogurt. The film was a takedown of sci-fi blockbusters like “Star Wars” and “Alien.”

JetBlue plane lands on grass at Boston’s Logan Airport


A JetBlue flight at Boston Logan International Airport veered onto grass while turning off a runway during landing Thursday.

The runway was closed as JetBlue flight 312 was assessed and its passengers were deplaned by stairs and bused into the terminal, airport officials with Massport told CNN.

The Airbus A220 was coming from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, and the incident happened around 11:55 a.m. local time. The airplane was new, according to Federal Aviation Administration records, and had been manufactured in 2024.

There were no injuries reported, Massport officials said.

“Safety is JetBlue’s top priority,” the airline said in a statement. “We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause.”

Tyesha Best, president of Transport Workers Union of America Local 579, said the union is “aware of the event.” The union represents JetBlue’s flight attendants.

“All crew and customers are safe,” Best said in a statement to CNN. “We remain in contact with the company to provide all needed support for those affected.”

The FAA has lifted a ground stop issued earlier Thursday at the airport for an emergency. The Boston airport was under a ground delay Thursday afternoon impacting about 14% of departing flights, according to flight data tracker FlightAware.

The FAA is investigating the incident.

Drew’s deplorable new low sets up a major murder mystery?

Drew’s deplorable new low sets up a major murder mystery?

In all my time watching daytime soaps, I can’t recall ever having more vitriol for a character than what I have for General Hospital’s Drew (Cameron Mathison). Every time I think he’s hit his rock bottom of moral depravity, he does something even more disgusting.

This time, in the General Hospital episode that aired on June 9, after seeing Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Michael (Rory Gibson) with their kids, seemingly happy to look at Michael’s new daughter Daisy, a desperate Drew did the unthinkable to prevent Willow and Michael from reaching a truce. He saw Wiley (Viron Weaver) sitting on a bench in the hospital hallway and purposefully had a nearby conversation with Ric (Rick Hearst), in which Drew told the lawyer, “Willow and I need custody of Wiley and Amelia, because now that Michael has the new baby, he doesn’t want Wiley and Amelia anymore.”

The words devastated Wiley, and understandably so. What kid wants to hear their parent doesn’t want them? Thankfully, Michael came around shortly thereafter, and he was able to reassure his son that he loves him and certainly wants him and Amelia.

When Michael told Willow what Drew said in earshot of Wiley, she protested in disbelief that Drew would say that. She even proposed that Wiley misunderstood Drew. An outraged Michael chastised Willow for again choosing Drew over their kids.

Honestly, I hope Willow is stripped of custody and is left with supervised visitation with her kids outside of the presence of Drew. My patience for her naivety has run out, and she needs to see what Drew is really costing her. This may sound harsh, but this has all gotten ridiculous (plus, it’s the soap world).

With all that being said, I just don’t see how General Hospital writers can redeem Drew at this point with the other residents of Port Charles (or with viewers at home). Short of it being revealed that Drew is actually Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin), which is something I’ve previously theorized, I think the only way forward for Drew is a prison cell or a grave. Considering it would be hard to pin an actual crime on him, his murder is more likely, or at the very least, attempted murder.

Along those lines, if someone does decide they’ve had enough of Drew, who might take matters into their own murderous hands? Well, the soap world loves a good murder mystery, so if my hunch is correct, then a few suspects will emerge.

If I had to guess, Willow may be the person to actually try and take out Drew. When she finally realizes all the manipulative things he’s done to her and her kids, she might snap in a blind rage. Ironically, though, I think Nina (Cynthia Watros) would step up for her daughter and claim responsibility, wanting to protect Willow and feeling as if she could probably beat the odds in a court of law.

I’m getting ahead of myself, of course, so for now I’ll have to do like other General Hospital viewers and just wait to see what happens next. Let’s all hope Drew’s epic downfall comes sooner rather than later.

New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

Stock market updates for June 11, 2025


Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on June 10, 2025.

NYSE

Stocks closed lower on Wednesday as traders weighed a preliminary U.S.-China trade agreement and new inflation data. The market’s recent run higher took a breather as major indexes ended the session near previous closing levels.

The S&P 500 lost 0.27% to end the day at 6,022.24, snapping a three-day win streak. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% to 19,615.88. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed a mere 1.1 points, closing at 42,865.77.

The consumer price index rose 0.1% in May from April, less than the 0.2% estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones. Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, also increased 0.1%, less than expected.

“Inflation in May was lower than anticipated, suggesting the tariffs aren’t having a large immediate impact because companies have been using existing inventories or slowly adjusting prices due to uncertain demand,” said Alexandra Wilson-Elizondo, global co-CIO of multi-asset solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

“As we wait for the 90-day tariff pause to pass, the market will be caught between inflation and job prints. If inflation stays under control or the job market weakens, the Federal Reserve will likely consider cutting interest rates down the road,” Wilson-Elizondo said.

Discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials have been a key focus this week for investors who remain on edge regarding trade policy.

Officials reached a consensus after two days of talks in London, but said that they will seek approval on the framework from the U.S. and Chinese presidents before implementing it. As part of the framework, China would approve the exports of rare earth minerals while the U.S. would roll back restrictions on the sale of advanced technology to China.

Even as the framework is being finalized, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Wednesday that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will not change from their current levels.

President Donald Trump said earlier in a Truth Social post that the deal with China is “done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me.” As part of the deal framework, he said that magnets and “any necessary rare earths” will be supplied up front by China and the U.S. will allow Chinese students to attend U.S. colleges and universities, adding that “WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%.”

U.S. crude oil futures rose more than 4% on Wednesday afternoon on news of escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly after sources told Reuters that the U.S. is preparing a partial evacuation of its embassy in Iraq due to heightened security risks in the region.

Oracle (ORCL) Q4 earnings report 2025


From left, former Fox Corp. Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison, Oracle’s co-founder, chief technology officer and executive chairman, listen as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Feb. 3, 2025.

Oracle shares rose about 8% in extended trading on Wednesday after the software maker reported results that exceeded Wall Street estimates and signaled that cloud growth will accelerate.

Here’s how the company did in comparison with LSEG consensus:

  • Earnings per share: $1.70 adjusted vs. $1.64 expected
  • Revenue: $15.9 billion vs. $15.59 billion expected

Revenue increased 11% year over year during the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended on May 31, according to a statement. Net income rose to $3.43 billion, or $1.19 per share, from $3.14 billion, or $1.11 per share, in the same quarter last year.

The company called for $1.46 to $1.50 in adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal first quarter, with revenue growth in the range of 12% to 14%. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had expected $1.48 in earnings per share and $14.96 billion in revenue, which implies 12.4% growth.

Cloud infrastructure revenue should increase more than 70% in the 2026 fiscal year, up from growth of 52% in the quarter, CEO Safra Catz said on a conference call with analysts. She called for more than $67 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, compared with the LSEG consensus of $65.18 billion.

Looking out further, Oracle will likely exceed the $104 billion revenue target for fiscal 2029 that it provided in September, Catz said.

The company said fiscal fourth-quarter revenue from cloud services and license support totaled $11.7 billion, topping the $11.59 billion consensus from analysts polled by StreetAccount. Cloud and on-premises license revenue of $2.01 billion was above StreetAccount’s $1.82 billion consensus.

During the quarter, Oracle announced a partnership with Cleveland Clinic and G42, the United Arab Emirates’ artificial intelligence holding company, on an AI delivery platform for health care. Oracle also announced cloud and consulting commitments with IBM. SoftBank said it would acquire Oracle-backed chip design startup Ampere for $6.5 billion.

Chinese online retailer Temu is moving infrastructure to Oracle’s cloud, said Larry Ellison, Oracle’s co-founder and technology chief.

Capital expenditures for the 2025 fiscal year surpassed $21 billion, compared with less than $7 billion in fiscal 2024. The tally for the new fiscal year should be above $25 billion, Catz said.

“We are doing a bunch of things to lower our capex costs,” Ellison said. “But even if we do that, capex is going to go up because the demand right now seems almost insatiable. I mean, I don’t know how to describe it. I’ve never seen anything remotely like this.”

Recently Oracle received an order from an unnamed client for all available cloud capacity, he said.

“We never got an order like that before,” Ellison said. “We had to move things around. We did the best we could to give them the capacity they needed.”

Oracle is a key partner in OpenAI’s Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project.

But Stargate is “not formed yet,” Catz said.

As of Wednesday’s close, Oracle shares were up 6% for the year, while the S&P 500 index was up 2%.

Cruise passenger banned for life after throwing chairs during violent brawl

Cruise passenger banned for life after throwing chairs during violent brawl


A violent fight broke out aboard Carnival Sunrise over the weekend, resulting in passengers being banned from sailing with the line again. 

The incident happened at around 5:30pm on Saturday, June 7, after Carnival Sunrise had departed from Half Moon Cay, the line’s private island in the Bahamas. 

Carnival Sunrise was halfway through a 4-night round-trip sailing from Miami, which departed on June 5, 2025.

Bystanders captured videos of the brawl and posted clips of it on social media. The video footage reveals guests throwing chairs while innocent passengers hustled out of the way. 

The fight happened on the Lido Deck near the complimentary pizzeria, where many may have been trying to grab a snack after spending their day ashore in the Bahamian sun. 

Thankfully, Carnival’s security team quickly rushed to the scene and restrained the violent passengers, and the cruise line confirmed that the guests involved would be banned from future Carnival voyages.

According to guests onboard, at least one passenger was confined to their stateroom

Although cruise ships do have jail cells, disruptive passengers can also be kept in their cabins until disembarkation. 

“I’m staying a couple of doors away from him. The man is locked up in his room with security outside 24/7,” a guest aboard Carnival Sunrise shared on social media. 

Not only that, but passengers can be kicked off sailings, rather than detained. Once kicked off, guests are responsible for getting themselves home, even if that means paying for last-minute flights and hotels. This is why it’s important to read and understand the cruise contract before boarding your ship. 

(Credit: Priscilla Nivia Delgado/Facebook)

Carnival’s Code of Conduct states that “…disruptive behavior is not tolerated and any guest whose conduct affects the comfort, enjoyment, safety, or well-being of other guests or crew will be disembarked at their own expense and banned from sailing on Carnival in the future.”

Additionally, all guests must agree to the Code of Conduct during the check-in process. Any violation may result in a hefty $500 fine, stateroom confinement, and removal from the ship.

In this case, it isn’t clear whether the detained guest was removed from Carnival Sunrise in Nassau on June 8 or was allowed to stay onboard until the ship arrived in Miami on the 9th. Either way, the rest of their vacation was ruined.

People aren’t surprised by another fight aboard a Carnival ship

In April 2025, a massive fight broke out in Galveston’s terminal during disembarkation after a weeklong sailing on Carnival Jubilee. The consequences were dire, as two dozen passengers were banned from sailing with Carnival again. 

One passenger, Ethan Merritt-Clark, 21, from Chicago, Illinois, was charged with injury to the elderly and reckless serious bodily injury after pushing an older guest in the luggage area of Galveston’s terminal.

Because of the often negative headlines that Carnival receives, the fight on Carnival Sunrise didn’t shock many. 

“This is why people call Carnival the Walmart of the seas. People need to learn how to act right,” commented one person on Facebook. 

“And that’s why I will never cruise [on] carnival,” someone else wrote. 

“It’s SAD that Carnival receives a negative reputation due to the actions of ignorant individuals,” added another. 

Recently, a Carnival passenger was banned for a less violent infraction

Be careful what you post on social media. Courtney Murley learned this lesson the hard way when she was banned from future voyages after sharing a TikTok showing how she successfully smuggled alcohol onboard Carnival Conquest. 

“Def waited until after I got home to post this! Hahahaha but it worked,” reads the caption of the short video. 

The TikTok shows Murley and her travel partner bringing their two suitcases into their cabin on the 110,000 gross registered ton (GT) vessel. They placed the bags on the bed and unzipped them to check whether their liquor was still inside. 

Inside a box of tampons, the couple reveals plastic flasks in wrappers. Not only that, but they filled shampoo and conditioner bottles with liquor, too. 

Later, however, Murley posted another video sharing that she had been banned from sailing with Carnival because of the TikTok that was brought to the attention of Carnival executives. 

“This letter is to inform you that you will not be able to sail onboard any Carnival Cruise Line vessel in the future due to the smuggling of alcohol onboard the Carnival Conquest on March 31st, 2025, and subsequently posting about it on social media platforms,” the letter from Carnival’s Staff Investigator reads, “Your attempt to book a future cruise will result in cancellation and possible loss of deposit monies.”
