When Will Amazon Be Back Up? AWS Outage Update Today – Hollywood Life

Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered from a widespread outage today, October 20, 2025, and it has impacted countless online platforms. From airline setbacks to banking issues, the problem has impacted millions of online users around the world, mostly in the United States and the United Kingdom. As Amazon users wonder when it will be back up and running, get an update on when its services should be full restored below.

Why Is Amazon Down Today? The AWS Outage Reason

Amazon identified the root cause of its outage as an “underlying DNS issue.” A DNS is a Domain Name System, which is a sort of internet phone book that converts domain names into IP addresses.

“The underlying DNS issue has been fully mitigated, and most AWS Service operations are succeeding normally now,” Amazon wrote in an update on its health dashboard at 6:35 a.m. ET. “Some requests may be throttled while we work toward full resolution. Additionally, some services are continuing to work through a backlog of events such as Cloudtrail and Lambda. While most operations are recovered, requests to launch new EC2 instances (or services that launch EC2 instances such as ECS) in the US-EAST-1 Region are still experiencing increased error rates. We continue to work toward full resolution. If you are still experiencing an issue resolving the DynamoDB service endpoints in US-EAST-1, we recommend flushing your DNS caches.”

Just after 1:00 p.m. ET, Amazon’s heath dashboard announced it would keeping applying “mitigation steps for network load balancer health and recovering connectivity for most AWS services.”

Is AWS Still Down?

Some Amazon services are still down for countless users at the time of publication. For many, the “orders” section of the Amazon app has a message that reads, “Hmm. We’re still having trouble showing your orders because something isn’t working.”

The rest of the Amazon app has similar messages across its home screen, indicating that updates are not currently possible to load amid the outage.

When Will Amazon Be Back Up?

The Amazon outage could be over by the end of the day on October 20, but the company insisted that the main issued had been “mitigated.” According to Graeme Bragg, a computer networking expert from the University of Southampton, though, the problem could persist for “the rest of the day.”

“This morning, an issue affecting Amazon’s US East caused significant disruption, with the underlying cause attributed to a problem with DNS – the ‘phone book’ of the internet that helps computers find each other,” Bragg said, per The Independent. “This has affected lots of services hosted in different regions because Amazon host a lot of their management infrastructure that other services depend on in that region.”

Noting that the shutdown is a “significant outage because of how many companies rely on Amazon and the global scale of the impact,” Bragg added, “The underlying issue has now been resolved but it will take some time to propagate across the internet. Amazon’s servers also have a backlog of requests to work through, so it’s likely that we will see some disruption for the rest of the day.”

What Other Apps Were Affected by the AWS Outage?

Multiple apps and other online platforms were impacted amid the AWS outage, including Venmo, Snapchat, the Ring Doorbell, Asana and even the airline companies, Delta and United.

Asana users faced unexpected downtime on October 20, 2025, after a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage disrupted popular apps and tools across the internet. The project management platform was among several services impacted by the cloud provider’s technical failure, which caused login errors, syncing delays, and loading issues for teams around the world.

The outage began early Monday morning, when AWS reported a surge in “error rates and latencies” affecting multiple regions, leaving many workplace tools, including Asana, Canva, Slack, and Ring, temporarily offline. While Amazon later confirmed that the issue had been mitigated, users continued to experience sporadic interruptions throughout the day.

Below, get the latest updates on Asana’s service status and when the platform is expected to be fully back online.

What Is Asana?

According to the company’s site, Asana is described as “a leading work-management platform for human + AI collaboration,” serving more than 170,000 customers worldwide including major names like Accenture, Amazon, Anthropic and Suzuki.

Their mission: “To help humanity thrive by enabling the world’s teams to work together effortlessly.”

Is Asana Down Today?

Yes, Asana reported a widespread outage on October 20, 2025 that was tied to an underlying outage of AWS. Users around the world reported issues accessing the service, and Asana acknowledged the disruption via its status updates, linking it to the global AWS service disruption.

When Will Asana Be Back Up?

According to AWS, the core DNS and internal-network issue behind the global outage was “fully mitigated” early on October 20, 2025 (Eastern Time).

On its official status page, Asana confirmed that the “root cause has been fixed and we are monitoring recovery,” though some users in the U.S. continued to experience degraded performance shortly after. A later update reassured customers that “this incident has been resolved; error rates and latency have gone down and we’ve caught up on existing traffic.” The company also announced that a detailed postmortem report will be published within 72 hours.

What Apps and Services Were Impacted by the AWS Outage?

The AWS outage affected everything from workplace tools to entertainment and smart home devices. Popular apps like Snapchat, Reddit, Slack, Canva, Ring, and Venmo all went down or experienced major slowdowns, while gaming platforms including Fortnite and Roblox also reported connection issues. Several financial, e-commerce, and streaming services were briefly impacted as well, leaving users unable to log in or load content.

Marcello Hernandez Revives The Movie Guy For 'SNL's Weekend Update

Marcello Hernandez Revives The Movie Guy For ‘SNL’s Weekend Update

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In a night of reprisals for Marcello Hernandez, the repertory Saturday Night Live player brought back his Weekend Update character The Movie Guy — a cinephile with a wan viewing history.

Brought on by co-anchor Colin Jost to talk about spooky movie season, Hernandez was first asked about Blumhouse’s recent box office win, Black Phone 2.

“Oh, yeah, Black Phone 2. Ring, ring! Hello? Sorry, you have the wrong number, because I have not seen that one yet,” he quipped.

When Jost segued to the biggest genre film of the year, Hernandez’s persona once again disappointed: “Oh, yeah, Weapons. That was a very big movie, Colin. Everybody saw Weapons. And I have to tell you: I was not one of those people.”

Continuing the bit, Hernandez joked, “I love scary movies because, in the title, they tell you what gonna happen. Like Scream — everybody Scream. Smile — everybody smile! And Saw — everybody saw, except me. I did not see Saw.”

Singling out a true scary movie as “the one with Michael Myers,” Hernandez was not, in fact, referencing the classic Halloween, but rather Shrek, which is about “every man’s biggest fear. You going to sleep with a beautiful woman, and then you waking up and go, ‘How drunk was I last night?’ You know what I’m talking about, Colin.”

In a rapid fire segment, Jost asked if he’d seen I Know What You Did Last Summer.

“OK, what did I do?” Hernandez responded.

What about It? “Uh, I did not see that,” he said.

But the kicker came when Jost questioned if The Movie Guy had seen the lauded Sigourney Weaver-starring sci-fi thriller Alien. “No, Colin, I am an American citizen,” he responded to big audience laughs.

Elsewhere on Weekend Update, newcomer Tommy Brennan made his debut, similar to (since-departed cast member) Emil Wakim’s stand-up introduction on SNL last year. During his brief time, the self-deprecating Brennan joked about his Midwestern roots, being one of eight kids and his recent adjustment to New York City.

And though the Cold Open eschewed political commentary, Jost and co-anchor Michael Che delved into this week’s news, joking about the release of disgraced GOP representative George Santos, the debate between NYC mayoral candidates Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani and POTUS Donald Trump’s recent musings about not getting into heaven.

Tina Fey, Seth Meyers Make Weekend Update Cameo With Amy Poehler

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Amy Poehler served as a brief guest anchor on Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update,” and she was joined by two familiar faces — and that’s not including Colin Jost and Michael Che.

After making a surprise cameo during the cold open, Tina Fey made a second appearance during the infamous SNL bit. But that’s not all: they were also joined by fellow alumni Seth Meyers.

The segment kicked off with Poehler criticizing one of Jost’s jokes, to which they decided to settle their beef with “a good old fashioned ‘Weekend Update’ joke off.” The crowd then erupted in applause as Fey and Meyers entered the shot.

“Oh, did somebody say ‘Weekend Update’ joke off?” Fey asked. The Good Hang podcast host quickly introduced the two, noting, “My first wife and second wife, everybody!”

Jost then went on to set up the joke, saying, “A woman in Tennessee broke a hospital record after giving birth to a 13 pound baby, and go!”

Poehler replied with her own shot at creating the best joke, noting, “A woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby which was so big he slapped the doctor on his ass.” Fey then took her shot, saying, “A woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby, and the new baby’s name is Ahhhhh!”

Meyers continued the joke off: “A woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby, damn, did she give birth to it, or did it drive out?” They traded several jokes with Jost and Che, until Poehler affirmed, “We won!”

Poehler, Fey and Meyers’ spent years working on SNL amongst one another. As a trio, they served five years together as cast members on the show. The Mean Girls star exited the series in 2006, leaving Poehler and the Late Night host with two additional years together before Poehler left in 2008.

Poehler returned to SNL for her third time as host on Saturday night, where she was joined by musical guest Role Model. He even brought out his own special cameo in Grammy Award-winner Charli XCX.

Earlier in the night, Poehler and Fey portrayed Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, respectively, in the cold open.

The Parks and Recreation star utilized her opening monologue to commemorate the official 50th anniversary of SNL, noting that the first episode of the show debuted exactly 50 years on Oct. 11, 1975. However, she also took time to criticize AI actress Tilly Norwood who made headlines after her studio revealed they were searching for her own representation.

“I remember watching the show in the ’70s, sitting in my house in Burlington, Massachusetts thinking, ‘I wanna be an actress someday, at least until they invent an AI actress who’s funnier and willing to do full frontal,’” Poehler said.

She later added, “I know it can feel like times are very tough right now, and in some ways they always have been and they always will be, so I’ll just say this — if there’s a place that feels like home that you can go back to and laugh with your friends, consider yourself lucky, and I do. And to that little AI robot watching TV right now who wants to be on this stage someday, I say to you, ‘Beep boop beep boop.’ Which translates to, ‘You’ll never be able to write a joke, you stupid robot.’”

Weekend Update Reunites Amy Poehler, Tina Fey & Seth Meyers

It was old home week on SNL‘s Weekend Update desk as Amy Poehler was joined by Tina Fey and Seth Meyers to trade yuks with Colin Jost and Michael Che.

In the joke-off, everyone had to find new, knee-slapping ways to make fun of a real-life headline about a Tennessee woman who broke a hospital record by giving birth to a 13 pound baby. Poehler started the competition by saying how the baby was so big, “he slapped the doctor on his ass.”

Fey followed with “a woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby and and the new baby’s name is AHHHHH.” Meyers picked up the baton by joking, “a woman gave birth to a 13 pound baby. Damn, did she give birth to it? Or did it drive out?”

It was Che’s turn next. “Here’s a fun fact. The second the baby was out, the woman zipped around the room like a deflated balloon.” Fey followed up with, “a woman in Tennessee gave birth to a 13 pound baby because it’s Tennessee and the baby was also pregnant.”

Another highlight from the jam-packed session behind the Update desk was Che making an AI joke at the expense of Jost. He talked about the infamous Sora app and how it allows “users to create cameos of themselves in videos, and they’re pretty realistic. I mean, I made this one before the show.”

Replied Jost, “really excited for that to be out there.”

What Type of Cancer Does Joe Biden Have?

Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating a high-grade cancer. The disease has metastasized to his bones, suggesting an advanced stage.

What Is Prostate Cancer?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, prostate cancer is a disease that begins in the prostate gland and is one of the most common cancers among men. While many prostate cancers grow slowly and may not cause significant harm, aggressive forms can spread rapidly to other parts of the body, such as bones and lymph nodes.

How Is Joe Biden Doing Today?

As of May 2025, Biden is meeting with his doctors to explore treatment options. According to CBS News and People, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which may allow for effective treatment options.

According to People and the BBC, he has expressed gratitude for the public’s support, saying, “Cancer touches us all… Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.”

Biden also stated, “Man, I’ve learned this journey is full of unexpected turns. But we face them together. And I’m grateful to have this nation behind me.”

In October 2025, a rep for Biden told People, “As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment.” Sources told the outlet that the former president was “responding well” to his treatment.

How Old Is Joe Biden Now?

Biden is currently 82 years old. He was born on November 20, 1942.

Is There a Cure for Prostate Cancer?

According to the Moffitt Cancer Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center, prostate cancer can often be cured if caught early. For advanced cases like Biden’s, treatment may not offer a cure but can effectively manage symptoms and slow the disease’s progression.

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are set to feature together in Haiwaan, a Hindi thriller produced by Priyadarshan. The film is in its final shooting schedule, and Akshay has shared his first look for the movie, creating buzz among fans and viewers.

Instagram posting, Akshay posted a rapid clip of his gritty and intense character, revealing that he is playing a negative role for the first time in 18 years. He captioned it, “Last schedule of #Haiwaan… what a journey it’s been. This character has pushed, shaped, and surprised me in so many ways. Forever grateful to Priyan Sir.

LeAnn Rimes Shares Health Update Months After Her Teeth Fell Out While Singing

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Singer and actress LeAnne Rimes has admitted she kept her health issues hidden for years, though she is now much more open with her struggles, including the moment her teeth fell out mid-performance back in June.

Speaking to Us Weekly ahead of her new ABC series 9-1-1: Nashville, which premieres on Thursday (October 9), Rimes confessed, “For so long, it did feel like I was hiding so much of myself. It did allow for the insecurity of thoughts I’ve had in the past about ‘I’m not pretty, I’m not good enough.’”

However, she said she eventually learned “how to love myself through all of my different incarnations.”

In recent years, Rimes has opened up about her mental health and battles with psoriasis, the latter of which she revealed publicly in 2020.

“I remember when I posted the picture of me with psoriasis all over me, and it was such a moment of relief because I had been hiding that for so long,” she told the outlet. “The same with my mental health and now with perimenopause. Every time I talk about it, I set myself — and someone else — free.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, “Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp” and is “a common, long-term disease with no cure.”

As for how she’s doing now, the “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” singer said, “I feel great. My physical health has been something I’ve focused on the past few years, and preparing my body for the changes it’s going through.”

Disney/Jake Giles Netter

While she feels good, Rimes noted, “Going through perimenopause is no joke. But for the most part, I feel really good in my body.”

Alongside the physical struggles, Rimes said there is also a “grief” that comes with perimenopause. “[It’s] not just about not making eggs anymore. That’s a biological piece of us changing. It’s such a deepening of the soul and allowing pieces of us that no longer serve us to fall away.”

She added, “It is such a transformational and beautiful part of life if we know what’s going on with our bodies.”

Rimes’ openness about her health was best exemplified back in June when her dental bridge fell out while she was performing at the Skagit Valley Casino & Resort in Bow, Washington. The Coyote Ugly star told the audience exactly what was happening and later opened up about the situation with her social media followers.

“I you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front,” Rimes said in a TikTok video, referring to her years of oral surgeries after her veneers didn’t bond properly. “It fell out in the middle of my song last night.”

She revealed she told the fans in attendance “exactly what was happening” and was “pushing her teeth” back in every couple of lines for the rest of the performance. “There wasn’t a thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in. So, I just ran with it,” she added.

Rimes makes her return to acting in 9-1-1: Nashville, which debuts on Thursday. In the 9-1-1 spinoff, Rimes plays Dixie Bennings, the mother of Hunter McVey‘s bad boy, Blue Bennings.
