Forget the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the biggest A-list gathering may soon be on a picket line. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists announced yesterday that it's joining the thousands of screenwriters who have been striking for months for better pay and job protections, marking the first time actors and writers have been on strike since 1960. "Barbie" star Margot Robbie said yesterday she would "absolutely" join the strike. The cast of another highly-anticipated movie, "Oppenheimer," (above) walked out of the movie's UK premiere, and stars Matt Damon, Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt said they would back their industry colleagues. Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett and Jamie Lee Curtis also expressed their support. Here's the latest.

The World Health Organization's cancer research group said yesterday that it was categorizing aspartame, a common artificial sweetener found in Diet Coke and other sugar-free foods, as a possible carcinogen, meaning there's some evidence it may cause cancer. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration disagreed with that categorization, saying its scientists "do not have safety concerns when aspartame is used under the approved conditions." The WHO is not calling for companies to pull aspartame products like Equal and Nutrasweet from shelves or for consumers to avoid it altogether.

"We’re just advising for a bit of moderation,” one official said. Read more here.

Lisa Marie Presley's cause of death was revealed to be the result of a small bowel obstruction.

Lisa Marie Presley's tragic death at 54 in January was due to a small bowel obstruction, according to a report by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner obtained by NBC News yesterday. Her cause of death was from a "sequelae," or aftereffect, of the bowel obstruction. The report said the obstruction arose from adhesions that Presley developed following bariatric surgery that she underwent years earlier. "This is a known long-term complication of this type of surgery," the report reads. Presley had complained about abdominal pain in the months before her death, and she was found unresponsive at her home the morning before, according to the autopsy report. Authorities previously confirmed Presley had experienced cardiac arrest. Read more here.

Author Shawn Warner, 58, was sitting glumly behind stacks of his debut novel at a grocery store book signing in Texas when Jerrad "Red" Swearengin walked by. "When I saw him and I didn't see a smile on his face, it just made me want to change it," Swearengin said on TODAY. Swearengin, a TikTok star who goes by @internetfamouslol, shared a video of his chat with Warner, and the avid readers of #BookTok did the rest. Swearengin's video got more than 18 million views, and Warner's novel, "Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor," rocketed to No. 1 on Amazon's bestseller list, earning gleaming reviews from readers. "If there's a moral to the story, it's how a simple act of kindness can do so much," an emotional Warner said. Watch their happy reunion on TODAY.
