Missing Black Girls Deserve More Attention. With NBC’s Found, They’re Getting It.
NBC’s buzzy new drama Found opens with a scenario we know all too well. A white girl is missing, and the news crews are lined up, breathlessly reporting every detail in a relentless effort to bring her home. Conversely, a Black girl who has also disappeared at the same time in the same city is largely ignored, silently begging for the decency of attention instead of apathy and the same communal and police support as her peer. Enter: Gabi Mosely. Played by the inimitable Shanola Hampton (Shameless), Gabi is Olivia Pope for the missing and marginalized. She’s a PR wizard leading a crisis management team who can stand in front of a press scrum and deliver an impassioned speech as easily as she stands up to a bigoted police chief. Once a missing person herself, Gabi is uniquely suited to strut into a seemingly hopeless setup and save the day. The catch: she’s harboring a devastating secret of her own.

Lindsay Lohan gives birth to her and husband Bader Shammas’ first child, a son
Lindsay Lohan has given birth to her first child, a son named Luai, according to reports. On Monday 17 July, Page Six reported that a representative for Lohan, 37, had confirmed the Freaky Friday star and her husband Bader Shammas had welcomed their first child together. “The family is over the moon in love,” her representative said in a statement to the outlet. According to Page Six, Lohan and Shammas’ son was born in Dubai, where the couple lives. The exact date of the baby’s birth is unknown. As for the name the couple chose for their son, the baby’s name, which is a popular Arabic name for boys, means strong and steady, or shield or protector. The Independent has contacted a representative for Lohan for comment. The baby news comes after Lohan celebrated her son’s impending arrival with a recent look at the infant’s beach-themed nursery. In photos shared this week, the actress showed off the nursery, which included a wall painted with a beach mural and a nautical-themed crib. Lohan first announced that she was expecting her first child in March, when she shared a photo of a “coming soon” onesie. “We are blessed and excited,” she wrote in the caption. In April, Lohan shared photos from her baby shower, which was attended by friends and family. “Good times. So grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life,” she captioned the photos. Lohan opened up about becoming a mother during an interview with Allure in June, where she revealed that she couldn’t wait to become a parent. “I can’t wait to see what the feeling is and what it’s like to just be a mom,” Lohan said. “Happy tears. That’s just who I am. Though now, it’s probably baby emotion. It’s overwhelming in a good way.” Lohan announced her engagement to financier Shammas in November 2021. In June 2022, Lohan revealed that she and Shammas had exchanged vows when she referred to her partner as her “husband” on Instagram.
