Foy Fights Parasites; Queen's Coin Slammed; Idol Dream Dashed

Claire Foy, star of "The Crown," revealed she battled a five-year-long infestation of stomach parasites, according to Fox News. Meanwhile, in Arizona, authorities are investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie, as a possible kidnapping, as reported by the NY Times. Elsewhere, the Royal Australian Mint released commemorative coins featuring a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which have drawn criticism for their lack of resemblance, according to BBC World.

Foy discussed her health struggles on the "Table Manners with Jesse and Lennie Ware" podcast, where she explained that she may have contracted the parasites during a visit to Morocco. She described the experience, saying, "I kept losing weight and I didn't know what was going on. I was just like, I'm eating everything. I was so hungry." The actress was diagnosed through testing, though the specific method was not mentioned.

In Arizona, Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home outside Tucson on Saturday night. Authorities are examining purported ransom notes sent to several media outlets. The NY Times reported that investigators have not yet identified any suspects. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have released emotional videos, expressing their willingness to speak with anyone who may have information. Experts note that if the case is a kidnapping by a stranger, it would be highly unusual, as most kidnappings in the United States involve family or custody disputes, and the majority of victims are children.

The Royal Australian Mint released 5 and 50 cent silver coins to commemorate the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth. However, the portrait on the coins has been widely criticized. One person reacted negatively online, stating, "That's got to be the most unpleasant portrait on a coin." The Mint defended the portrait, saying that their coin images do not always fully capture the beauty of the subject.

In other news, the Detroit Lions are facing disappointment after failing to meet Super Bowl expectations this season, according to Fox News. Lions players Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Aidan Hutchinson discussed the season's setbacks with Fox News Digital. Additionally, BBC World reported on young people from around the world who are traveling to South Korea with dreams of K-pop stardom, only to feel scammed by training programs. One teen paid 3 million yen (approximately $19,800) for a six-month program, hoping for a path to stardom.
