Each of the celebrities had overwhelming experiences connecting with their loved ones, from Corey reuniting with his longtime friend to Evelyn receiving a poignant message from her brother-in-law. "I"m glad to know that we have men that are like our guardian angels and just holding it down for us and making sure we"re good!" the Livin" Lozada star gushed.

Catch up on the episode with these must-see moments!

1. Tyler Henry turned Corey Feldman into a believer:Tyler could immediately sense the actor was a skeptic as soon as he arrived at his home, but he was quickly able to change Corey"s mind when he revealed information about his grandfather"s brother that no one could possibly know. "Do you anyone that dealt with a skin abnormality on the head or face?" Tyler asked. "Yes! That"s crazy!" Coreyresponded, acknowledging it was actually a birthmark. "That was a crazy one. Because there"s no way anybody would have known that!"

E!

2. Tyler Henry connected with Corey Feldman"s best friend:Afterward, Corey handed Tyler a chain with a ring attached and he immediately felt the presence of someone who would have passed away from a drug overdose. Tyler had no idea who it was, but Feldman confirmed it was his close friend, late actor Corey Haim. "It all makes perfect sense really what you just described," he said.

Tyler explained that Haim was referencing to the writing of a book and encouraging Feldman to share more details about the suffering and abuse he endured during his life as a child star. "I know that I care," Feldman said. "I know that I want to do everything that I can to help others, but it"s a lot or responsibility and it does have its own level of very intense and very real danger attached to it."

E!

3. Tyler Henry advised Corey Feldman on coming forward about Corey Haim"s abuse:"The individual that"s being referred to clearly had lots of opportunities to interact with kids," Tyler toldhim. "All it will take is one person coming forward for a whole other group of people to come forward. It"s clear that other people would also come forward and support you."

Feldman feltthis was the reassurance he was hoping for. "Literally, I"ve been praying for several nights in a row for this answer," he said. "I feel like that whole thing was orchestrated by some greater power to help me find that answer."

4. Tyler Henry surprised Evelyn Lozada with an unexpected connection:"The man that"s coming through is really having me talk about with a living male who would be younger," TylertoldEvelyn and her daughter, Shaniece Hairston. "It would be either be like a son or a like grandson kind of a connection. He also, for whatever reason, took you being here as an opportunity for him to come through."

Evelyn and Shaniece weren"tsure who it could be at first, but they eventually realized it was the grandfather of Shaniece"s boyfriend,Zatwho was listening from the other roomwhen Tyler mentioned thename,George! "Shut the h**l up!" Evelyn exclaimed. "We"ve talked about wanting to connect with his grandfather!"

E!

5. Evelyn Lozada"s deceased brother-in-law acknowledged her previousabusive relationship: While communicating through Tyler, Evelyn"s beloved brother-in-law,Anthony, broughtup her firstmarriage. "There"s references to not being honest, not being completely transparent and ultimately not emotionally monogamous," Tyler said. "I feel like we go from a really bad situation to a great situation."

"That makes a lot of sense," Evelyn responded. "Right before he passed, I ended up getting married. And right before he officially passed awayhe was already in the hospitalthere was an incident with me and my ex-husband that put me in ahospital and then I ended up in hiding." Now that she"s moved on, Evelyn was curious to find out if Anthony approves of her current relationship. "It"s a thumbs up, for sure!" Tyler promised.

E!

6. Tyler Henry connected with Rachel Hunter"s horse:"This animal is acknowledging that when I know I"m going to deal with this, there"s no point in keeping me alive," Tyler said. "I definitely feel that coming through. Animals still have a connection to us, no different than a lot of people in life." Rachel wasamazed that he was able to communicate with her horse. "It just showed there are so many things that make you up as a human being and animals are one and I think there"s great comfort in that," she said.

E!

7. Tyler Henry predicted Rachel Hunter"s love life:"What"s kind of interesting is that I see you at your romantic happiest closer to likelike past the five-year mark," Tyler revealed. "Don"t worry. No doubt you"ll have partnerships and whatnot within this time frame, but it"s actually after the mark you reach the happiest, I think. Relationships can happen earlier. It"s just they reach a really good point at that point and I really like that a lot."

Brazil"s Senate Votes To Impeach President Dilma Rousseff


Ronaldo Caiado Discurso ARREBATADOR "CANALHAS SÃO AQUELES " Impeachment Dilma Rousseff - 31/08/2016

Three months after suspending President Dilma Rousseff over charges she manipulated government funds to cover up debts, Brazil"s Senate voted to impeach her on Wednesday.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

Today, a dramatic scene in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia.

(SOUNDBITE OF BRAZILIAN SENATE ANNOUNCEMENT)

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Speaking Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: Senators chose to impeach the country"s president, Dilma Rousseff, by a vote of 61 to 20.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Speaking Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: After the announcement, senators joined together singing the national anthem.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "HINO NACIONAL BRASILEIRO")

UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: (Singing in Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: Joining us from the senate now is NPR"s Lulu Garcia-Navarro. And, Lulu, what does this historic vote mean for Brazil?

LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: Well, it"s a very important moment, as you can imagine. It"s an enormous defeat for Dilma Rousseff and her leftist Workers" Party. And while it moves Brazil out of the immediate political crisis that it"s been facing for many months now with the new president, Michel Temer, at the helm, it hardly, Ari, heals the wounds of this divisive process.

You know, many people will be deeply upset by this. Also, let"s not forget Brazil is still in the midst of a huge financial crisis - 11 percent unemployment. And there"s a massive corruption investigation still underway that has implicated many, including the new president, Michel Temer. So certainly the end of one era, but not an easy path forward for Brazil.

SHAPIRO: Rousseff has maintained her innocence from the beginning. Remind us how we got here.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Yeah. As with everything, it depends who you speak to. Supporters of Dilma Rousseff see this as a coup. I was speaking to the head of the Union for Domestic Workers yesterday. And she said under Rouseff"s tenure, rights and protections for domestic workers and other vulnerable people expanded, so she"s a huge supporter.

But let"s not forget this is not only the end of Rousseff"s era, but it"s the end of 13 years of leftist rule in Latin America"s largest economy. And that will have profound implications for the country and the region. Michel Temer, the new president, is right of center. So is his cabinet. On the other side, those who support Michel Temer say that she sank the economy. She"s a financial dinosaur, as one analyst told me, who couldn"t change her ways when ill economic winds began blowing.

SHAPIRO: How are ordinary Brazilians reacting to all of this?

GARCIA-NAVARRO: There really haven"t been protests. Not a lot of people out on the streets after the vote was taken. I think people are exhausted by this drama, but we have to remember that this impeachment was driven by the largest protests in Brazil"s history. And after the announcement, there were fireworks in some city neighborhoods across the country celebrating Rousseff"s removal. Some people will definitely see this as a fresh start. Dilma Rousseff herself spoke after the vote. She called the new government that has taken over racist, misogynistic and homophobic, and she predicted fierce opposition to its policies.

SHAPIRO: Well, what do you expect we will see from the Brazilian government in the way of new policies?

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, certainly, Temer is right of center, but he is hugely unpopular. Many see him as illegitimate, as tainted, so he is not going to have an easy ride. He will be in power for the next two years, seeing out the rest of Dilma Rousseff"s term, but he will face a lot of opposition. People are very divided here on the direction in which the country should go.

SHAPIRO: That"s NPR"s Lulu Garcia-Navarro in Brasilia on the historic impeachment vote ousting Dilma Rousseff. Thank you, Lulu.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: You"re welcome.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff ousted in impeachment vote


Brésil : la présidente Dilma Rousseff destituée

BRASILIA President Dilma Rousseff was stripped of her office Wednesday in the culmination of a political crisis that has left Latin Americas largest nation adrift, with an economy in deep recession and a public sharply divided over the countrys future.

Rousseff was impeached on arcane charges having to do with violating budget laws. But she was swept up in a tide of revulsion against Brazils political class as the once-flourishing economy contracted and political parties were tarred by a massive corruption scandal.

Wednesdays 61-to-20 Senate vote closed out an extraordinary 13-year rule by the leftist Workers Party, which boasted of lifting tens of millions of Brazilians out of poverty before the economy began to nosedive and its political fortunes soured.

Rousseff was replaced by her former vice president and coalition partner, Michel Temer, who has been running Brazil as interim president since she was suspended to face the impeachment trial in May. He belongs to the more conservative Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, or PMDB, and is trying to introduce austerity measures to right the economy.

Brazil"s embattled president, Dilma Rousseff, is no longer the country"s top politician. The judgment ends a a protracted process which began last December when the impeachment request got the green light in Brazil"s lower house. (Marina Lopes, Dom Phillips, Jason Aldag / The Washington Post)

But Temer is as unpopular as Rousseff, and whether he can muster the political support for such changes was unclear.

Still, some Brazilians felt a sense of relief that the country had at last reached a decision on an impeachment process it began eight months ago.

The impeachment does not in any way resolve the political or economic crisis, but it gives us some hope, because for the first time in a long time, we will have a plan, said Lucas de Arago, director of Arko Advice, a political analysis firm in Brasilia.

Rousseffs removal marked the latest setback for Latin Americas left, which had been on the ascendancy just a few years ago in Argentina, Venezuela and other countries but has increasingly struggled amid a continent-wide economic slowdown and a series of corruption scandals.

The leftist governments of Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia recalled their ambassadors from Brazil on Wednesday after the vote, denouncing a coup by its Senate.

Indeed, many Brazilians believe Rousseff was removed not so much for her misdeeds as for her plunging popularity ratings. The impeachment trial may leave a legacy of distrust in Brazils political system, particularly among Workers Party supporters. There were demonstrations in cities across Brazil protesting the impeachment on Wednesday.

The trial ended with a series of emotional speeches in which the sympathizers of Brazils first female president made clear they felt the process was unjust.

Scoundrels! Sen. Lindbergh Farias, a member of her Workers Party, roared at one point.

Coup mongers! History wont forgive you! Rousseffs supporters chanted at another point. She was not present in the Senate for the vote.

Brazils highly respected former chief justice, Joaquim Barbosa, attacked the impeachment process.

It is highly embarrassing. All of a sudden highly conservative forces took over all of Brazil, he tweeted.

For her part, Rousseff responded by calling the Senate ruling the second coup she had faced in her life after a military takeover decades ago. The second [coup], delivered by way of a judicial farce, took me down from a role the people elected me to, she said in a speech delivered to supporters and former colleagues.

Rousseff came to power in January 2011 at a time when the country was booming and the Workers Party led by her predecessor and political mentor, Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, known as Lula was widely popular. She was reelected in 2014. But slumping oil prices and what many called inept political management dragged down the economy, which shrunk nearly 4percent last year while inflation and unemployment surged. The country lost its precious investment grade rating.

Meanwhile, millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest an enormous corruption scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras that has ensnared politicians from Rousseffs party and its allies.

Since Temer became interim leader in May, there have been signs of a recovery of economic confidence, such as a reduction in credit default swap numbers. That indicates a drop in the level of risk that investors see in Brazil, said Armando Castelar, a professor of economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Temer is regarded as a wily political operator and has extensive congressional experience.

I think he can put Brazil back on some kind of track, said Heron do Carmo, a professor of economics at the University of Sao Paulo.

But there are already cracks showing in his coalition, with some party chiefs threatening to leave the alliance.

On Wednesday, the center-right Brazilian Social Democratic Party warned the new president that he needed to prove he was serious about tough fiscal reforms.

Temers party needs to clearly state the level of its compromise with this government and the agenda of reforms that need to be put before the National Congress immediately, said Aecio Neves, the partys president.

Meanwhile, Temers popularity has plunged since he became interim president and immediately appointed an all-male cabinet. Within weeks, two of his ministers quit after being secretly recorded apparently plotting to obstruct the popular Petrobras investigation.

Many believe Temer could also still be embroiled in the Petrobras case, which has led to investigations of politicians from his party as well as Rousseffs for alleged receipt of bribes and kickbacks.

A former Petrobras executive cooperating with the investigation has said that Temer asked for an illicit $400,000 campaign donation in 2012 for his partys candidate for mayor of Sao Paulo. Temer denied the allegation.

The problem is if there is a bruising denunciation against Michel Temer, said Jairo Nicolau, a professor of political science at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil has now impeached two of the four presidents it has elected since returning to democracy in 1985 after two decades of military dictatorship.

We had four presidents elected, and two were removed. What democracy is this? Sen. Jorge Viana of the Workers Party asked in a speech during the voting session.

Rousseff was charged with financial irregularities using government banks to temporarily fund social programs and issuing spending decrees without congressional approval. Her opponents maintained that her actions contributed to the recession, the worst in decades in Brazil.

Rousseff maintained her innocence, saying she engaged in practices typical for Brazilian politicians. She has accused Temer of being one of the protagonists of the effort to oust her.

During questioning by senators on Monday, she denounced the trial as a coup and referred to the torture she suffered as a young Marxist guerrilla imprisoned by Brazils military dictatorship in the 1970s.

I was scared of death, of the marks of torture on my body and my soul, she said. Today I only fear the death of democracy.

Temer shot back at Rousseff at a meeting with ministers Wednesday that was open to journalists, according to O Globo newspaper.

A coup monger is someone who violates the constitution, he declared.

Phillips reported from Rio de Janeiro.

LISTEN: Here"s the 911 call that was made after Teddy Bridgewater got hurt


SCRIPTED- Teddy Bridgewater"s fake 8-30-16 injury +U.S. Bank Stadium, Denny Green, Prince & Kaep

When an NFL player goes down with an injury, it"s not always clear how bad it is. But in the case of Teddy Bridgewater, it"s pretty evident that the Vikings knew right away that they were dealing with something serious.

Just minutes after the Bridgewater went down, an employee of the team called 911 in order to get an ambulance to the Vikings" practice facility as quickly as possible.

In the call, which you can hear below, a dispatcher is asking paramedics to quickly get to "9520 Vikings Drive" because someone there has suffered a "dislocated knee."

Bridgewater went down just before 2 p.m. CT on Tuesday.

By 2:08 p.m CT, there was already an ambulance on the scene.

The quick response paid off big time for Bridgewater. A league source told injury expert Will Carroll that the quick action by the team trainers and the paramedics "may have saved [Bridgewater"s] leg and career."

Although Bridgewater"s injury was serious, it easily could"ve been more serious if there had been any lag in response time.

A few hours after Bridgewater was taken to a nearby hospital, the Vikings officially announced that their quarterback would miss the 2016 season after suffering a dislocated kneecap and a torn ACL.

"Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice," the team said in a statement. "The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage."

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was emotional when talking about Bridgewater"s injury on Tuesday.

"We"re gonna grieve today and be upset about it," Zimmer said. "Teddy"s a great kid, and he"ll be back as soon as he possibly can, if it is real bad. But we"re going to keep fighting."

Bridgewater is expected to make a full recovery.

People Magazine (@people) August 25, 2016

PureDWTS speculates that four-foot-two Jole may be paired with Sasha Farber, who has some experience dealing with a height difference. According to USA Today, he competed with four-foot-eight Jersey Shore star Snooki during Season 17. Snooki said that she wanted their team name to be Team Shorty because they were the shortest couple to compete that season.

Surreal standoff ends with Chris Brown under arrest, but the R&B singer says he"s the victim


CHRIS BROWN: ILLUMINATi SET-UP or UNSTABLE DRUG ADDICT??

Chris Brown and the Los Angeles Police Department spent much of Tuesday locked in a surreal standoff at theR&B performer"s Tarzana homeover allegations that he threatened a woman with a gun.

The woman said Brown pointed the gun at her and she fled in fear, then balked at signing a nondisclosure agreement before escaping from the singers property.

For hours, LAPD officers along with an army of reporters stood outside the house asBrown refusedto let them in. During theimpasse, the 27-year-oldposted a series of videos on social media in which he railed against the police and said he was being unfairly demonized.

This latest peculiarchapter in L.A.sannals of celebrity justice ended late in the afternoon when Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released around 11:15 p.m. after posting $250,000 bail, according to Los Angeles County jail records.

See the most-read stories this hour

The incident began early Tuesday when the LAPD received a 911 call about a woman claiming she had been threatened by the performer, police said. Officers arrived about 3 a.m. at the estate in the 5000 block of Corbin Avenue.

The woman, Baylee Curran,told The Times thatBrownpointed a gun at her during a violent ragebefore she ran outside.Curran said she and a friend went to Browns home with a business associate, who was invited by the musician. She wanted to talk to Brown about future projects, she said.

Inside the home, a fewpeople were milling about and talking, she recounted. She eventuallywent to Browns backyardto get some fresh air. Her confrontation with the musician erupted soon after she walked back into the house, she said.

A man was showcasing diamond bracelets, necklaces and watches inside the home, and Curran said she was admiring the jewelry.

I dont know if it was Chris friend or how he was related, but thats when he told me to back away from the diamond necklace and started cussing me out and calling me names, she said. Thats when Chris pulled his gun and told me to Get out,he said. Im sick of you girls, get the ...out!

Curran said she fled outside with a friend, but they were forced to wait by the homes gate until Browns associates retrieved her phone which she had to hand over as a condition of entering the residence, she said. One of Browns associates walked over with the phone but said hed return it only if she signed a nondisclosure agreement, she said.

Curran said she refused, snatched her phone from the mans hand and ran away. The man ran to a Jeep to give chase, but Curran and her friend escaped to a neighbors property and hid under an SUV when the Jeep drove by, she said. The neighbor contacted police.

When officers arrived, they were instructed to obtain a search warrant, police sources said. As detectives waited for the warrant, Brown shared videos on his Instagram account, praising his own talents as both a performer and father,and criticizing the media for portraying him as a villain.

In thevideos, he said he woke up to helicopters overhead and officersat his gate, and maintained that he was not guilty of the accusations.

Good luck. When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, youre going towalk right up in here and youre going tosee nothing, you idiots, he said in one video, occasionally taking a drag of a cigarette. Im tired of ... dealing with yall.

Detectives eventually entered the residence shortly before 1 p.m. and at least half a dozen peopleexited the home, a few of them holding their hands behind their heads as police patted them down.

Were getting the cooperation of everyone that came out, said Lt. ChrisRamirez, an LAPD spokesman.

Mark Geragos, Browns longtime attorney,told The Times that during the search of the home, he waswith the singer, who denies any wrongdoing.Brownis scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on Sept. 20, according to jail records. He has not been formally charged. It is common for prosecutors to announce a decision on whether to file charges close to the date of arraignment.

The results of the search, as well as other witness testimony, will weigh heavily in the prosecutions decision to charge Brown, experts say.

At the end of the day it is a he-said she-said scenario, said Dmitry Gorin, adefense attorney and a former s*x crimes prosecutor in Los Angeles. The prosecution must find other witnesses, surveillance footage, the firearm in question, to corroborate what happened to ever be able to prove this case in front of a jury."

Its unclear what police recovered from the property. A law enforcement source confirmed that officers found a duffel bag that had apparently been tossed from a window. The bag contained evidence related to the case, the source said.

Previous incidents at the residence includea home-invasion robbery and multiple complaints aboutBrownand his friends riding all-terrain vehicles up and down the street.

Brown, a native of Virginia, rose to fame as a teenage heartthrob but became one of R&Bs more notorious bad boys following the 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend Rihanna. He spent six years on probation after pleading guilty to the attack, and his probation was lifted in March 2015.

The singer completed about 1,000 hours of community service. He was also ordered to attend anti-domestic-violence classes.

In recent years, he has also faced charges in connection with driving without a license and accusations of a hitand run. He admitted in May 2014 to violating his probation after assaulting a person outside a Washington, D.C., hotel.

Browns former manager, Michael Guirguis, known as Mike G, filed a lawsuit in June that alleged the singer attacked him. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, contends the singer punched Guirguis four times in the face and neck during a May 10 incident.

The complaint states:The assault was unprovoked and, regrettably, just another attack in Browns long history of violent and abusive behavior.
