Jay Leno has proven once again that nothing can st Jay Leno has proven once again that nothing can stop him—not even a 60-foot fall. The 74-year-old former Tonight Show host turned heads at his latest comedy gig sporting an eye patch, a bruised face, and a broken wrist after an impromptu shortcut to dinner turned into a disaster. While staying at a Hampton Inn in Pennsylvania before a Pittsburgh show, Leno decided to skip the mile-and-a-half walk down the road and opted for a more “direct” route—down a steep hill. “I’m a little beat up,” Leno quipped to Inside Edition. “I fell 60 feet. Boom, boom, boom, boom.” The comedian said he hit several rocks on the way down, leaving him “all black and blue” and with a finger missing a nail. A rock also struck him in the eye, forcing him to wear an eye patch. When asked if he was worried about his vision, Leno shrugged it off. “It’ll be fine. I’m not worried about it,” he said. Amazingly, Leno went on stage just three hours later to perform for a packed house. “When you’ve got 2,600 people waiting on you, the show must go on,” he told TMZ. This latest mishap adds to Leno’s growing list of injuries in recent years. In early 2023, he suffered broken ribs, a collarbone, and cracked kneecaps after being knocked off his motorcycle. Just months before that, he endured severe burns when a fire broke out in his garage, leaving him hospitalized with injuries to his face, chest, and hands. Ever the optimist, Leno laughed off his bad luck. “The great thing about this age is you don’t learn from your mistakes,” he joked. “You just keep doing the same stupid thing.” #jayleno #pennsylvania #newportbuzz #newportri #seafair

Construction is underway on a new 2,800-square-foo Construction is underway on a new 2,800-square-foot Educational and Administrative Building on the historic campus of Trinity Church, a cornerstone of Newport’s architectural and spiritual heritage since 1726. The new structure, prominently situated along Mill Street and Queen Anne Square, marks a significant expansion for the church, blending historical reverence with modern functionality. The building will house two classrooms for the church’s growing Sunday School programs, a nursery, accessible clergy offices, committee meeting rooms, and a 1,500-square-foot terrace. Visible from the street, the steel frame of the structure is already in place, signaling rapid progress toward its anticipated completion in mid-2025. The building’s design, by architect Jeff Moniz Jr. and Melissa Breen of 2 Hands Studio, harmonizes with the existing campus. Its traditional materials and forms are complemented by a glass facade facing Queen Anne Square, symbolizing the church’s openness and engagement with the community. “This design bridges the historical language of Trinity’s campus with a forward-looking sensibility,” Moniz explained. “The glass facade embodies the church’s desire to connect with Newport in meaningful ways.” A milestone celebration on Sunday, November 17, 2024, marked the culmination of 12 years of planning. Children from the Sunday School donned Trinity-branded hard hats emblazoned with the phrase “We’re Building!” while Interim Rector Timothy Safford led prayers and blessings. Among those in attendance were Edward Biddle, CFO of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, and Newport’s Mayor-elect Charlie Holder, who applauded the project’s significance. “This is the next chapter in uniting Newport’s past, present, and future,” said Holder. #trinitychurch #newportri #newportbuzz #scenesofnewengland #rhodeisland #newengland
The remains of Charlotte Lester, who vanished in M The remains of Charlotte Lester, who vanished in May 2022, have been discovered in Exeter, Warwick police announced Wednesday. A suspect, Mark Perkins, 64, of Warwick, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The case saw a breakthrough earlier this week when a hunter alerted authorities to human remains in a wooded area. Testing by the state medical examiner confirmed the remains were those of Lester, an East Greenwich resident with family in Newport. “The Warwick Police Department is saddened to announce that human remains have been found and have been positively identified as belonging to Charlotte Lester,” Commander Michael Lima said during a Wednesday news conference. “We extend our deepest condolences to Charlotte’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.” A hunter provided crucial information that led authorities to the area, according to Lima. He noted that while police always suspected something had happened to Charlotte, the absence of her remains had been a significant challenge in the case. Perkins, described by police as a past companion of Lester, was apprehended at a Cumberland Farms convenience store on Post Road. He is set to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon at Kent County District Courthouse. Lester, 44, was last seen alive on May 16, 2022, in the Arnold’s Neck Drive and Staples Avenue area of Warwick. Her Toyota Tacoma was later found abandoned at Kent Hospital, and her dog was located wandering on Elmwood Avenue. Despite months of searching, no trace of Lester was found until this week. Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi commended the police for their relentless dedication to the case. “This meant something to them personally,” he said. “Our detective division never let this go, and I am happy for Charlotte’s family. They can get some closure and now we hope there is some justice for Charlotte.” #charlottelester #warwickri #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Stop & Shop stores across Rhode Island, including Stop & Shop stores across Rhode Island, including both Newport locations, faced some empty shelves on Tuesday following a cyberattack that disrupted operations at the supermarket chain’s parent company, Ahold Delhaize USA. The grocery giant cited a cybersecurity breach as the root cause of the issue, which has impacted its IT systems and led to inventory shortages. Customers visiting affected stores were met with signs informing them of an IT systems outage. “While there may be some limited inventory for certain products, we are working to re-stock our shelves and anticipate item availability to continue to improve over the next few days,” Stop & Shop said in a statement. The cyberattack, which Ahold Delhaize USA described as a “cybersecurity issue within its U.S. network,” triggered immediate action. “Upon detecting the issue, our security teams began an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity experts,” the company said. “We also notified law enforcement. Our teams are taking steps to assess and mitigate the issue, including taking some systems offline to help protect them.” The disruption has extended beyond grocery operations, affecting some of Ahold Delhaize’s pharmacies and e-commerce services, the company confirmed. The timing of the cyberattack comes as grocery retailers gear up for the Thanksgiving rush, a critical period for food sales. While Stop & Shop assured customers that turkeys and hams remain in stock for the holiday season, many shoppers reported frustrations over the lack of other essential items. The company has not specified when it expects full operations to resume but emphasized that efforts are underway to resolve the issue. #stopandshop #thanksgiving #rhodeisland #newportri #newportbuzz

@daveshotchicken, the Los Angeles-based fast-casua @daveshotchicken, the Los Angeles-based fast-casual chain with a cult following and a major co-sign from hip-hop superstar Drake, is set to open a location in Middletown. The new restaurant will take over the former Plant City X location, according to job postings on Glassdoor and the company’s website. Known for its bold flavors and spice levels ranging from mild to the fiery “Reaper,” Dave’s Hot Chicken has become one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the U.S. since its humble beginnings in 2017. Three childhood friends started the concept with just $900, a portable fryer, and a dream to bring their hot chicken recipe to life. What began as a small pop-up in an East Hollywood parking lot quickly gained traction thanks to social media buzz and a rave review from Eater LA. Now, Dave’s Hot Chicken boasts a growing empire with more than 700 locations in development across the U.S., Canada, and even Dubai. In 2021, Drake joined the venture as an investor, propelling the brand’s reputation to new heights. The Middletown location will serve the chain’s signature jumbo hot chicken tenders and sliders, paired with popular sides like mac and cheese, seasoned fries, and kale slaw. Customers can choose their spice level, but those attempting the hottest option will need to sign a waiver. The chain was recently named America’s Fastest Growing Restaurant Chain, reporting a 156% increase in systemwide sales in 2022. With the Middletown opening, local food enthusiasts will soon get a taste of what has made Dave’s Hot Chicken a national sensation. Stay tuned for opening dates—and prepare for some serious heat! #daveshotchicken #drake #newportbuzz #middletownri #newportri #rhodeisland
Hope Funds for Cancer Research, an organization co Hope Funds for Cancer Research, an organization committed to advancing treatments for some of the most challenging forms of cancer, received an extraordinary gift today from an unexpected benefactor: Dylan Rozansky, an eighth-grade student at Pennfield School. At a school assembly, Dylan presented a $4,000 check to two Hope Funds Trustees, the culmination of his entrepreneurial venture, Cuts for a Cure. The lawn care service, which Dylan established and managed, donated all proceeds to the organization’s annual fund. During the presentation, Dylan shared the deeply personal motivation behind his initiative. “Cancer has affected my life. I lost my grandmother in 2021, and my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. Thankfully, she has successfully beaten this disease and is cancer-free thanks to wonderful doctors and medicine that was available to her; but more needs to be done,” he said, addressing his teachers and peers. Dylan’s decision to support @hopefunds was deliberate. “It’s a local organization funding innovative cancer research,” he explained. The act of philanthropy drew high praise from Hope Funds leadership. “This is an inspiring act of generosity and kindness from such a young person,” said Prof. Bryan R.G. Williams, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board. “Dylan has demonstrated impressive entrepreneurial skills in addition to insights into philanthropy.” Dylan’s initiative also underscores the power of youth-led innovation and community involvement in addressing pressing global challenges. His website, cuts4acure.com, further illustrates his mission to make a difference. The Hope Funds for Cancer Research Annual Fund supports groundbreaking projects focused on difficult-to-treat cancers, providing critical resources to advance understanding and treatment. Dylan’s contribution adds a poignant reminder that meaningful impact often starts with personal passion and dedication, regardless of age. #cuts4acure #newportri #newportbuzz #hopefunds #cancerresearch #portsmouthri #cancersucks
The Burrillville Town Council voted unanimously Mo The Burrillville Town Council voted unanimously Monday to deny the renewal of the entertainment license for the infamous “Conjuring” house, effectively halting its tours and overnight stays. The decision marks a turning point for the paranormal hotspot, which gained national attention through “The Conjuring” film franchise. Owner Jacqueline Nuñez, who purchased the 18th-century Round Top Road property in 2022 for $1.5 million, had operated under the name Bale Fire, LLC. Her 24-hour entertainment license had allowed her to host paranormal events, attracting ghost-hunting enthusiasts from across the country. However, mounting disputes with neighbors, former employees, and local authorities culminated in the council’s refusal to renew her permit. Police Chief Stephen Lynch raised concerns about Nuñez’s behavior and its impact on her ability to operate responsibly. Nuñez has faced criticism from neighbors and allegations from former staff, including claims of unpaid wages and harassment. Prominent paranormal investigator Jason Hawes, known for the television series Ghost Hunters, attended the meeting to support the council’s decision. He has accused Nuñez of harassment and mismanagement, highlighting safety concerns for visitors to the property. Nuñez has denied many of the accusations, asserting that she is the target of a campaign to damage her reputation. Her legal troubles include a recent DUI charge stemming from a police pursuit. Nuñez has maintained her innocence, claiming she acted out of fear. Despite the council’s ruling, Nuñez may reapply for a license next year. For now, the property’s future as a paranormal destination remains uncertain, with her current license set to expire at the end of the month. Burrillville officials expressed regret over the outcome, describing the property as a once-thriving business that now requires significant improvements to regain its standing. #conjuringhouse #burrillville #rhodeisland #haunted #newportbuzz #ghosts #theconjuring
