Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Disney has announced a successor to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, effective in March. Josh D’Amaro, current chairman of Disney Experiences, was tapped for the role in a unanimous vote by the company’s board of directors.

D’Amaro has been at Disney for 28 years, where he oversaw theme parks, cruises and consumer products including video games. The company had previously appointed Bob Chapek, the Disney Parks chairman at the time, as successor to Bob Iger in 2020. At the time, Iger had served as CEO since 2005. But Chapek only lasted until 2022, when Bob Iger returned to take the helm once again amid company struggles. Disney formed a committee to find an appropriate successor in 2023, with Iger mentoring potential candidates along the way.

David Letterman has signed on to executive produce Say Hello to Our Good Friend Paul Shaffer, an upcoming feature documentary about his longtime sidekick and Late Show bandleader.

“Paul Shaffer is a show business friend who became a real friend. A comedic partner whose quickness and timing saved me night after night. A composer, arranger and performer with endless range. His vast knowledge and list of collaborators in music make him a living rock and roll hall of fame. There is no one more worthy of an examination of his life and work,” Letterman said in a statement on Tuesday.

British politician Peter Mandelson is quitting the House of Lords as he faces new questions, and a potential police investigation, over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Speaker of the Lords, Michael Forsyth, said Mandelson has informed officials he will retire from Parliament’s upper chamber effective Wednesday.

The announcement came as the British government prepared legislation to eject Mandelson from the Lords and remove the noble title, Lord Mandelson, that came with his seat in the chamber. Mandelson will retain the title after he retires unless lawmakers pass legislation to strip it from him — something that has not been done for more than a century.

The stars were out on Sunday and, as is tradition, they were sipping on the evening’s signature cocktail. Fittingly titled “The Golden Record,” this year’s creation is centered around Patrón, the Official Tequila Partner of the 2026 Grammy Awards.

With its deep roots in music culture, Patrón’s partnership with the awards show makes perfect sense. From Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert to Lil Jon and Robin Thicke, artists have featured the spirit in over 400 songs, with recognition across a wide range of musical genres. In the late ’90s and 2000s, Patrón became a hip-hop symbol of success and celebration, a legacy that’s cemented it as one of the most referenced alcohol brands in music history.

In the latest illustration of how quickly attackers can exploit newly disclosed flaws, Russia’s notorious APT28 cyber-espionage group has begun abusing a recently patched Microsoft vulnerability to steal emails and deploy malicious payloads against organizations in Central and Eastern Europe.

CVE-2026-21509 is a security feature bypass vulnerability in Microsoft Office for which Microsoft rushed an out-of-cycle patch on Jan. 26 after confirming active zero-day exploitation. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the flaw to its database of known exploited vulnerabilities at the time.
