12 Down: Road trip assistance, for short – GPS
It took me 2:30 to complete today's NYT Mini. Not a bad time at all for a Saturday puzzle, especially after a shoddy start.
I only really got APP on my first pass of the Across words. I thought COLOGNE was 'perfume' and I wasn't sure about TONED, so I left it out. I also thought that what turned out to be MSN was 'ICQ' (remember that?).
Thankfully, the Down clues saved my bacon. I dithered over PHOTOGS before coming back to it after I got PELOTON, then ALGEBRA, BAND-AID and ABE were huge helps for figuring out Across answers. I was pleased that I figured out MONET too.
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!

Cops called as Denise Richards shows up at ex's home amid restraining order
The cops were called on Denise Richards Sunday when the reality star allegedly showed up at the home of her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, despite a restraining order the reality star has taken out amid their divorce battle. A divorce lawyer for the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum, 54, told TMZ that Richards only arrived at the Calabasas home Sunday 'after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present,' and did so 'to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission.' Phypers, who denies Richards' recent claims of longstanding physical abuse, told the outlet that everything the 'Wild Things' star claimed was 'absolutely false. 'Denise's actions are willfully intentional in the slander and destruction of what is left of a family,' continued the 52-year-old 'frequency medicine' practitioner. 'This is after Denise chose to carry on an adulterous affair — after being caught not once, not twice, but three times.' Photos published by the outlet show the OnlyFans star speaking to a trio of deputies outside the home, which is owned by Phypers, his parents and brother. One image shows Phypers speaking to one of the officers, while another shows him hugging his elderly mother. Phypers, who wed Richards in 2018, filed for divorce July 7, three days after he said they separated. Richards has claimed he 'would frequently violently choke' her and subject her to other forms of physical abuse, including leaving her with a black eye in 2022. She was granted a restraining order against Phypers, which lasts until their scheduled court appearance on Aug. 8, and orders him to stay 100 yards from Richards, her home, car and place of business. Richards last week accused Phypers of disseminating her texts and illegally leaking her nude photos. 'Mr. Phypers has continued to harass Ms. Richards since being served with the Temporary Restraining Order by, among other things, disseminating private information from Ms. Richards' cell phone and laptop, which he stole,' her lawyer alleged in a statement to multiple outlets in late July. 'These actions continue to disturb Ms. Richards' peace. … Ms. Richards will not be responding to Mr. Phypers' false allegations in a public forum and will be addressing Mr. Phypers' abuse in Court.'

In the splendid and dangerous landscape of Lake Geneva, under the shadow of the surrounding mountains, the renowned writer Marceau Miller dies, leaving behind nothing but a manuscript. His wife, Sarah, cannot believe that his death was simply an accident and soon finds herself on a dizzying treasure hunt to uncover the secrets and final confessions hidden within his last novel. In this beguiling tale, readers are faced with the unrelenting question: can we ever really know the people that we love? The Story of Marceau Miller is a literary thriller that has ensnared readers worldwide—and it is certain to make its mark on English-speaking audiences as a masterpiece of psychological suspense. First released in France in January 2025, The Story of Marceau Miller was met with industry intrigue and has sold to twelve countries. Written by a pseudonymous author of the same name, Marceau Miller is said to be a screenwriter. This is the first time he has written under this pseudonym. His novel is being translated into twelve languages and is also currently being adapted for film and TV by Gaumont, the production house behind acclaimed shows such as Lupin (Netflix), Hannibal (AppleTV), Becoming Karl Lagerfeld (Disney+), and Narcos (Netflix). The deal was negotiated by Blackstone Publishing Head of Foreign Rights and Senior Acquisitions Editor Stephanie Koven and Marleen Seegers from 2 Seas Agency with assistance from Blackstone's Chief Sales Officer, Anne Fonteneau.

All of us at Blackstone feel this is one of our most exciting commercial debuts, and we're looking forward to joining our international partners to bring this action-packed novel to readers in English who crave a sophisticated page-turner.' Fonteneau adds, 'From the very first pages, this novel captivated me. This debut masterfully combines psychological suspense with literary depth. The characters are richly developed, the writing sharp and immersive. Readers who appreciate the complexity of Gillian Flynn's work will find much to love here. It's a powerful exploration of grief, secrets, and identity.' This title marks the first translated work of fiction to be published by Blackstone Publishing. Of its acquisition, President Anthony Goff said, 'I couldn't be more excited for Stephanie Koven and the illimitable team at Blackstone Publishing as we continue to break down walls and test new ground with a passion to innovate and expand our great catalog, now with our very first fiction foreign-language translation. The Story of Marceau Miller is as unique as it is beautifully written, so we are thrilled to bring it to the great book lovers of the English-speaking world.'

‘Real Housewives' Star Wonders If Stage 4 Cancer Was 'Payback' For Her Rumored Affair
Teddi Mellencamp opened up for the first time about a rumored affair with her horse trainer ― and how it affected her family and her health. The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast mate spoke about her alleged infidelity during an appearance on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show.' 'I've never talked about it at all ― just because of the kids,' Mellencamp said during the interview, which was released Tuesday. Mellencamp, who was married at the time, shares three children with her now-ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave. 'And I've never wanted anybody to have a, you know, a guarantee whether it happened or didn't happen,' the reality star said. 'But what I can say is: Did I do things that hurt other people? Yes.' 'To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that's why I got cancer?' Mellencamp said, as she began to cry. 'Yes. Like it was my payback.' Mellencamp, who is the daughter of famous singer John Cougar Mellencamp, was diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. She recently shared that her cancer had progressed to Stage 4, as her melanoma metastasized to her lungs and brain. 'Nothing goes without payment, I guess,' she said, adding that she was 'so broken as a human being during that part of my life that I did things out of my better judgment.' During the vulnerable interview, Mellencamp also spoke about her ex-husband's infidelity, which came to light just before she and her family starred on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' The podcaster said her husband was unfaithful with someone that she knew and that she had to 'beg Edwin to wanna stay with me.' 'I don't think he was in love with me at that point. I think we've gone through times in our marriage where we've been madly in love with each other, but that wasn't one of those times,' she said. 'And there was a while that I thought maybe I'll leave, and then it got better.' Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 and announced the news on Instagram. 'After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,' she said at the time. 'My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.' The former couple share three children together: Slate, 12; Cruz, 10; and Dove, 5. Related...
