— -- 1. Donald Trump Doesn’t Think Republican Party ‘Has to be Unified’

Donald Trump says he thinks he can win the general election, even if the Republican Party does not unify to support his candidacy.

"Does it have to be unified? I'm very different than everybody else, perhaps, that's ever run for office. I actually don't think so," Trump told George Stephanopoulos in an interview that will air Sunday on ABC News' "This Week."

A growing list of Republicans have come out and said they will not vote for their party's presumptive presidential nominee in November, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and the Republican Party's 2012 presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. But none of that is rattling Trump.

"I think it would be better if [the party] were unified, I think it would be -- there would be something good about it. But I don't think it actually has to be unified in the traditional sense," Trump said.

After days of flames, massive wildfires are continued to torch neighborhoods in the Fort McMurray area of Alberta, Canada, over the weekend, sending families fleeing. It's "like an apocalyptic horror," one evacuee said.

The fires had covered nearly 400,000 acres by late Sunday. They have forced more than 80,000 people to evacuate and the Alberta provincial government has declared a state of emergency.

While many people purchased presents or made brunch reservations to celebrate their mother on Sunday, some may have found the Mother's Day holiday very tough to endure.

Ty Alexander is one of those people. The Brooklyn-based blogger lost her mother Yolanda Brown in 2013 after she had been diagnosed with stage four lymphoma. Alexander, 39, has been documenting her grieving process on social media and recently opened up on her blog about how she planned to get through Mother's Day.

"Through my grieving process," she wrote, "I realized that I had to re-imagine the love my mother and I had shared."

For more than two decades, Hillary Clinton has been in the public eye, her appearance -- changing hairstyles, evolving pantsuits -- constantly scrutinized and discussed.

While the campaign trail this year has been no different (in fact, it's even something Clinton herself makes light of), there is one item in the Democratic presidential candidate's wardrobe that has gotten less attention, but holds more significance.

Clinton wears a gold chain link charm bracelet on her left wrist that has one round charm dangling off of it: A small, framed photo of her 19-month-old granddaughter, Charlotte.

The bracelet -- which Clinton has worn nearly every day since the start of her campaign over a year ago -- was a present from her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

It's been nearly a year since the season five finale of "Louie," and according to its creator, Louis C.K., fans of the show may have to wait longer for new episodes.

The comedian, who creates the show without interference from its network FX, said he's been on hiatus from the critically acclaimed series since last May.

"I think the guy that I played on the show -- the just-divorced kinda under-water dad, struggling New York comic -- I don't think I have stories for that guy anymore," C.K. revealed during The Hollywood Reporter's "Awards Chatter" podcast.
