Here he is with his young son. I’m assuming 8 or 9.

The son has a fully developed set of abdominal muscles. It is horrifying. It looks like something out of the Island of Dr Moreau if it was directed by Bryan Singer

What exactly happened between Rosie O'Donnell and Boy George back in 2003-04 ? She invested $10M in a Broadway musical production of BG's "Taboo", which bombed at the box office and lasted two months (November - January). She lost every penny. He blamed her for the failure, she blamed him and it ended their friendship. O'Donnell said (when it closed) she intended to bring it back in the future (she hasn't).

Does anyone have any stories of what went on back then ? Any 'behind the curtain' tea to spill ? Did anyone here see the show ? Was it as bad as the reviews said it was ?

Here's an interview she did on 'The View' before it opened. She was very excited about the production and her new BFF Boy George.

Eldergays, have you adjusted your daily routine based upon the threat of crime or violence? For myself I have a 9:00 p.m. cut off for leaving the house unless it's a pre-planned thing. If I'm going into the city I always shoot to go in the morning earlier than 11:00 a.m. if possible. I no longer take public transportation. It would be very rare for me to attend any large festival style event with thousands of people gathered in one place . I know it's a recipe for loneliness but self preservation is key. What adjustments have you made? I live in a relatively safe suburban area 8 Miles away from a city known for its crime and violence.

I originally posted my thread when my body and mind felt so run down and I knew I couldn't continue going on the way I was. It took me a few days to stop drinking after posting my original thread.

I've not attended any AA meetings (online or in person), and you guys are the only people who know I stopped a month ago. My best friend, who knew I fell off the wagon late last year, thought I quickly regained my footing and stopped drinking around the time by dog died. I don't know if i'll ever tell anyone it took me 4 months to get over my dog dying and everything else that happened last year before I picked myself up and dusted myself off. Maybe one day.

I've lost about 6 pounds, but besides taking walks a few days of the week, I haven't been too serious about it (haven't counted calories or gotten disciplined about exercising). I've had no real cravings, although living in "wine country" I'm constantly confronted with billboards about this or that wine or a local winery or event. Yesterday I saw that talked about a winery's cabernet and I did get a teeny feeling of longing, like missing an old friend, but I quickly put it away. I have to treat this like somebody I knew died and they aren't coming back again. That was the only time I've felt that in the last 30 days.

My work has improved, and I finally bought my new car this past Saturday - a 2020 Nissan Rogue with (almost) all of the comfort features I wanted. I've done a lot of work on my yard and have been enjoying my new puppy. I've definitely been eating better and started my boss and myself on smoothies for lunch a few times a week (made in our office).

Life is more calm. More improvement is needed of course, but I feel better. Certainly my gastric issues have cleared up. Although right now I'm on Day 8 of a cold/sore throat I caught having to serve jury duty for 3 days about a week and a half ago. Being stuffed into a room with about 100 people 3 days in a row is bound to do that to you.

To anyone who is in the middle of quitting drinking or contemplating it, feel free to add to the discussion here. This is a place for anyone to chime in if needed. You can do it - I did it (again) and you can too. Do whatever you need to do to stop killing yourself slowly.

thanks to everyone here whether they've commented or not. You all have been an important part of this journey. Happy Wednesday!

Barbra Streisand, who turns 82 on April 24, will release her first single in 6 years the day after her birthday. Streisand announced this week she has recorded "Love Will Survive" for the last scene / end credits of the Peacock /Sky series ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’, a six part series which premieres May 2. Streisand said she wants the last scene 'to be memorable'.

“Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six-million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago. And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure,” Streisand said in a statement.

The song “Love Will Survive” is produced by Walter Afanasieff and Peter Asher, with Streisand, Jay Landers and Russell Emanuel executive producing.

He admits to cheating on first wife Robin Strasser quite often, including several sexual encounters with men.

His second marriage to Lucie Arnaz has been rocky at times and he had a very contentious relationship with mother-in-law Lucille Ball.

He devotes many pages to the stage and film productions of The Boys in the Band.

His account of the filming of “Such Good Friends” and the rantings of director Otto Preminger is hilarious.

He was on the short list for “Get Smart”, but lost the role of Maxwell Smart to Don Adams.

Now nearly 90, he’s fully aware his time is limited.

The CNN weekly prime time talk show co-hosted by basketball loudmouth Charles Barkley and CBS morning star Gayle King has ended a six-month run that failed to produce ratings.

The weekly call-in show “King Charles,” which aired at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday nights failed to generate more viewers than reruns of the sitcom “Friends” and episodes of “South Park.”

It was the lowest-rated prime time weeknight series debut for CNN in at least a decade, according to Nielsen.

When the show launched in November, CNN said it planned to air it through the early spring.

Since debuting in November, “King Charles” viewership fell 20%. The first airing was watched by 500,000 total viewers and 139,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen.

The show’s Jan. 31 episode failed to crack the 100,000 viewer threshold in the 25-54 demo — the first time it couldn’t reach the six-figure mark, Nielsen numbers show.

A CNN spokesperson said that the show was “a great addition to CNN’s lineup” and that the viewership was among “the youngest, most affluent, and most diverse” audience in cable during its time slot.

[quote] The life of France's first lady Brigitte Macron is to be the subject of a new TV series. Production company Gaumont said the six-part series, entitled Brigitte, a Free Woman, would trace the "storybook journey" of Emmanuel Macron's wife. The series will start with the first meeting of the couple, one of the series writers said. Mrs Macron first met her now-husband when she was a teacher at his secondary school. The couple ended up marrying in 2007, when Mr Macron was 29 and Mrs Macron was 54.

Believes the allegations are the result of Mia Farrow’s brainwashing.

Bill Maher went in hard for Woody Allen, saying flatly he doesn't believe the sexual abuse allegations and thinks actors who won't work with him are "pu**ies."

Bill was chatting it up with Katie Couric on his 'Club Random' podcast when Allen's name came up. Maher said, "I respect the artist and the man," and then he bore in on the long-standing allegations that Allen sexually abused Dylan, his adopted daughter when she was 7.

Bill believes the story was engineered by Mia Farrow to gain an advantage in their bitter divorce, saying Farrow was motivated by vindictiveness.

As Maher sees it, "If you saw the documentary about it, it was all from her point of view. So first of all, I just flat-out believe him. I believe a 57-year-old man didn’t suddenly become a child molester in the middle of a divorce proceeding and a custody battle in a house full of adults in broad daylight."

Katie challenged him, saying there was "some pretty damning" evidence, including Allen's desire for his girlfriends to "dress up in little anklets and Mary Janes and baby doll dresses."

Bill's response, "Do you think he’s the only guy who likes that? Do you think he's the first guy who wanted his girlfriend to dress in anklets and baby doll [dresses]?"

As Maher sees it, "That's what we grew up on, that’s what we find sexy."

Allen, who married Mia's adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, has never been charged with a crime and denied all the allegations.

In retrospect, the greatest fashion models of the 1990s Were Naomi Campbell, Shalom Harlow, Yasmeen Ghauri, Kate Moss and Kristen McMenemy.

Before he was 20 he lived in the American Middle West, New England, and London. By 30, he was a staple of the New York theater scene.

His life changed forever when in 1982 he was cast as the transgender Roberta in The World According to Garp, where he received his first Academy Award nomination. The next year, he played the mousy affair-seeking accountant in Terms of Endearment. His profile was further elevated in the 1980's with films such as The Twilight Zone, Footloose, and Harry and the Hendersons all the while receiving Tony nominations in M. Butterfly and Requiem for a Heavyweight.

Yet, he finally received international acclaim in the American situation comedy 3rd Rock from the Sun, the animated film Shrek, where he lent his rich Mid-Atlantic voice as the comically non-menacing Lord Farquaad, and The Crown, where he played Winston Churchill.

Despite notoriously avoiding politics for years, in 2020 he wrote a best selling book on the Trump and Trumpism. He said he couldn't keep silent anymore.

I'm really loving it.

Jared the Bosun is hilarious and weird. He seems stoned most of the time.

At first I didn't like Cat, but after hearing her story, I feel bad for her. I'm almost forced to like her.

Barbie is a feisty Latina firecracker.

Not sure what's the trip with Xandi, but she's just odd.

Sunny is cute. She and Ben would make a nice couple, if Ben didn't keep throwing her under the bus.

Kyle is cute too. His Irish accent makes him better looking than he actually is, though.

Speaking of Kyle and Ben, I am LOVING the shots in their cabin, where they keep exposing their bare asses to each other (and us)! On the show, Ben comes across as a total womanizer, but I swear, something about him is very gay. I especially loved the scene where he was rubbing lotion all over Kyle's back - all the way down to his exposed ass!

And the French Chef. He's tres gay, even though he is trying to pretend that he's straight.

I loved his hilarious story about how he got married at 26. Then his uncle offered his wife a job on a yacht as a Stewardess, and she never contacted him again. So he said now it's just him and his cat. Rofl!! Honey, your wife knows you're gay!

This season is very entertaining.

Brad Pitt is likely reuniting with Quentin Tarantino for the filmmaker’s 10th and ostensibly final feature, “The Movie Critic.” The status of the deal is unclear.

Tarantino has remained tight-lipped about “The Movie Critic,” but it’s reportedly set in southern California during the 1970s and center on a cynical film reviewer. It’s rumored to be inspired by the life of Pauline Kael, the late New Yorker writer who was one of the most influential film critics of her time.

WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on Sunday, citing the immense suffering resulting from the Israel-Hamas War.

“Given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate ceasefire, at least for the next six weeks,” Harris said in Selma, Ala.

Harris' remarks were the most pointed statement yet by a member of the Biden administration on the need for an immediate pause in the fighting in Gaza.

President Joe Biden has been under immense pressure to demand a ceasefire in the five-month war, which started after Hamas militants stormed southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking 250 others hostage. Over 30,000 Palestinians have died in the war.

In Alabama, Harris called the situation in Gaza a “humanitarian catastrophe” and said Israel must do more to increase the flow of aid into the area.

"People in Gaza are starving," she said while marking the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when Alabama state troopers savagely clubbing peaceful civil rights marchers as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

"The conditions are inhumane, and our common humanity compels us to act," she said.

At the same time, she said, "the threat that Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated."

The Biden administration said Saturday that Israel has essentially agreed to a six-week ceasefire that would include the release of hostages, but that Hamas to sign off on the deal.

The Israelis “have more or less accepted” the framework of a deal that would include a six-week ceasefire and the release of vulnerable hostages, including women, children and those who are elderly or wounded, said senior administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

But Hamas has yet to agree to the terms of the deal.

Biden has he hopes that a ceasefire deal can be in place by the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which begins March 10.

Also Saturday, the U.S. began airdropping humanitarian aid into Gaza on Saturday, days after over 100 Palestinians were killed when witnesses said Israeli forces fired at people waiting for food in Gaza City.

U.S. Air Force C-130 cargo planes, along with Jordan's air force, conducted airdrops of humanitarian aid into Gaza for two hours, according to U.S. Central Command. The planes dropped over 38,000 meals along the coastline of Gaza allowing for civilian access to the critical aid.

Officials said the airdrops would make sure that food and other commodities get to people who need them and help prevent the looting that has plagued the delivery of goods into the region on the ground.

Brad Pitt may be moving on with 30-year-old new girlfriend Ines De Ramon, but Angelina Jolie isn’t finding it as easy to put their divorce behind her. According to RadarOnline, the 47-year-old Oscar-winner is still “traumatized” by her divorce from the 59-year-old Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor – almost seven years after she filed for divorce – and doesn’t actually have many people to talk to. We feel so bad!

"Angie has kept to herself more than ever," a source spilled to RadarOnline. Although the Maleficent actress attended a White House State Dinner with her 21-year-old son Maddox earlier this month (and looked impeccable in an ivory Chanel dress, may we add) the insider revealed that she tries to keep public appearances to a minimum, saying: "It’s been a while since she’s been in front of so many cameras. She doesn’t get out much."

Another source said that Angelina's life has been like this for a while, saying: "She’s cut off people she’s worked with for years and no longer speaks to any family other than her kids. She has almost no one else left. Her life is very lonely." Another insider said that the mom-of-six briefly reconnected with her father Jon Voight, 84, after the divorce in 2016, but the two are now no longer in contact. She is also no longer speaking to her brother James Haven, 50, who the source said "was her touchstone for many years."

Yet another source told the pub that the Girl, Interrupted star's inner circle is small, and although she sometimes hangs out with co-stars such as Elle Fanning and Salma Hayek, she doesn’t have a deep connection with many other people. "She can come off as cold and guarded," the source said, adding that "she’s acknowledged that she’s not much of a girls’ girl."

Perhaps her desire to keep a low profile is also one of the reasons she stepped down from her role as a United Nations special envoy in December 2022, after more than two decades. Angelina's "lonely" life isn’t actually that surprising to learn about, as she confessed back in 2011 that the Babylon actor and their children were the only people she really hung out with. "I don’t have a lot of friends, Brad really is the only person I talk to," she said at the time.

And back in 2019, a separate insider told The Sun Online that Angelina was just focused on spending time with her six children, but craves companionship as she "has no-one." Seems like not much has changed then!

"With work, she will only take projects that her kids can be involved in – or that means she doesn't somehow lose out on time with them. All her energy is spent on them," The Sun's source continued at the time, adding that she "doesn’t have a lot of friends to talk to," and "has work colleagues but almost no close friends." The source also said: "She knows that Brad dates – even the kids mention it – but she does not."

None of the recent sources have mentioned the billionaire heir David Mayer de Rothschild she was spotted having lunch with back in March, nor did anyone say anything about her rumored past romance with The Weeknd.

Another source did, however, tell RadarOnline: "I am sure she misses companionship. But I don’t think she is eager to commit herself fully again. Angie used to have such a vibrant, adventurous spirit, but her light has really dimmed in the past few years. Hopefully, in time she’ll be open to dating and having fun again. Her kids just want to see her be truly happy again." We also hope that the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star will be able to move on from her divorce and find happiness!

I’m addressing my diet and cutting refined carbs, and I’m thinking about joining a gym, even though the thought of being seen exercising mortifies me.

Does anyone have any experience of taking those first steps from a sedentary lifestyle to an active lifestyle? How did you start? How do I start?

Let's discuss gay actors from the past!

Who are your favorite gay actors from days gone by?

I always had a thing for Tom Drake

Amanda said that Sharon was ungrateful to Simon Cowell for the opportunities he gave her and Sharon has launched a huge smackdown in what looks set to become a continuing feud between the two women. She ends her tweet Amanda darling you will never be in my league...

The new season debuts on Feb. 28.

It's going to be unexpected, so not anyone very old or sick. Mathew Perry level shock.

I'm pleasantly surprised! A catchy pop tune with a retro video where she doesn't take herself seriously.

More of this please.

It comes out in September!

The Goldman’s have always insisted that there was nothing going on between the two, and that they barely knew each other. But I’m pretty sure something was going on. She had a sultry bath drawn the night that she was killed, and she knew that he was on his way over to drop off those keys. It seems likely that she planned to attempt to seduce him at the very least. Nothing wrong with that. But it makes you wonder what happened in the run up to the murders. I guess we’ll never know.

I just finished a trial in California. If my client had done this, he’d be in jail right now.

“It really is appalling. I don’t know what he was thinking. I think he’s well named. Joaquin…whackeen... whacky. It’s a sort of whacky performance.”

“I’ve met your people in Vegas for 40 years! None of them have last names!”

Is it still awesome or is it like tech nerds and generation-wealth influencers now?

Taylor: "Taylor is not important,” Love said of the 14-time Grammy winner. “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”

Lana: "I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song,” she said of the “Young & Beautiful” singer. “Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ I thought she was great.”

Beyonce: "I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much,” she said. “As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.”

Madonna: "I don't like her and she doesn't like me."

Will you Queens be listening?

The original Fallout games which came out in the late 90s had excellent storytelling, but the modern entries have left much to be desired. That being said, the setting and world itself has always been compelling in the games. The universe of Fallout is an alternate timeline of Earth's history. It's a retrofuturist world with a 1950s sci-fi aesthetic. i asked chat gpt to summarize the setting to make it easier.

'In the Fallout universe, an alternate history unfolds where the world diverged from ours after World War II, adopting a retrofuturistic aesthetic centered around atomic technology. The United States and China become embroiled in a resource war, escalating into a devastating conflict. The Great War of 2077 culminates in a nuclear apocalypse, transforming the world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Vault-Tec, a pre-war corporation, constructs underground vaults to shelter select citizens from the devastation.'

vault-tec is a company that built nuclear survival shelters all across the usa, but most of them are actually designed to be cruel social experiments with human guinea pigs. Most of the games have you leaving a vault to explore and interact with the outside post-apocalyptic world - with humans trying to rebuild society amongst mutants and monsters created by radiation. The games are highly acclaimed and Fallout is considered to be one of the greatest franchises in gaming history. fallout 1, 2, and new vegas are particularly known for good writing.

I love any with lots of magic and Aunt Clara.

What are some good new gay movies?

For the people who said Ron wasn’t involved in drugs.

Interesting doc. It argues the murders were over drugs and carried out by serial killer Glen Rogers.

I love the shag wall to wall carpeting and the fabulous garish wallpaper in the bathrooms.

I found it very disturbing considering the state of America today.

Do any of you date your nephews?

An internal RCMP report warns that a series of geopolitical and national threats — including climate change — will test the ability of governments and police services to protect Canadians in the coming years.

The "crises" rocking national and international affairs are likely to get worse over the next few years and could have a significant effect on the federal government and Canada's federal police force, says an internal report prepared for the RCMP.

The heavily redacted nine-page report looks at shifts "in the domestic and international environments that could have a significant effect on the Canadian government and the RCMP." Percival said it was written between March and December of 2022 "for situational awareness and to inform decision making".

Political polarization and resentment, coupled with the threat of an economic recession, will also present a challenge, the report predicts.

"The coming period of recession will also accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations," says the report.

"For example, 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 35 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒚 𝒂 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆. The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the fact that the difference between the extremes of wealth is greater now in developed countries than it has been at any time in several generations."

While the report says it covers geopolitical factors, references to geopolitical challenges appear to be among the passages redacted. Two pages of the report are entirely blank, with the exception of a picture of a globe.

In 2015, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while defining Canadian values, also declared his country to be the world's first post-national state.

Mission accomplished Justin.

I agree with the producer. I wish there was a brave executive who would say the same thing about Chalamet.

[quote]It’s a Monday morning in March, and Danny Lavery is up first to quietly bake the bread he proofed the night before and to walk the two little dogs Maxim Casaubon Lavery (goes by Bon Bon) and Huckleberry Rigaud Lavery (prefers Gogo). […] Lily has a number of projects to attend to, but at the forefront is gestating the household’s baby. Waiting for a baby here mostly entails talking. “When I say we hope that the baby will be gay, I think maybe we’re all saying that we hope the baby will have an aesthetic life,” says Lily later as we curl up on the couch in their Brownstone Brooklyn living room. “I don’t know if you guys agree with that or not.” “I’m just picturing a little Bob Newhart baby,” Danny says. “Oh!” Grace says, then realizes, relieved. “I was thinking of Bob Ross.”

[…]

[quote]Danny met Grace, an academic, in 2015 […] In 2019, he turned 33, married Grace, took her last name, and broke contact with his family, publicly holding his pastor father to account for choices you’d never want your pastor to make. As now perhaps the most famous trans couple of a certain slice of literary America, they decamped abruptly from California to New York.

[…]

[quote]A year after the Lavery wedding, Grace met Lily online. Lily was teaching art history at Michigan State and — by her account — “reading Killing Eve fan fiction and masturbating.” They fell for each other. Eventually, Lily came to visit Grace in the city […] Two things led to another, or one thing led to two others. “I didn’t want to read more fan fiction,” Lily says. “I wanted my life to resemble fan fiction.” […] Eventually, Lily moved in. […] yes, they all sleep in the same bed. It also doesn’t seem particularly large.

[...]

[quote]They planned to name this baby Rochbert “Rocco” Ozymandias Wolverine, though they wanted to get a peek at him first to be sure.

[…]

[quote]Because Grace and Lily were intimate first, and because they’re all living and working together in a floor-through, one-bathroom apartment, Lily and Danny were a bit on tiptoes together, even into the pregnancy. Then they had their first good fight in December — over recycling! “There were ways in which I still felt like you and I would sometimes be on our ‘company manners’ around each other,” Danny says. “I think the outcome has been really positive,” Lily says. “I’m really sorry we had to go through my being a dick,” Danny says. This is their method. Danny describes it as “lesbian dominant” with an asterisk: “I don’t mean that in the sense of we’re dominant lesbians. I just mean we all have enough of a background in lesbianism and the processing of the lesbian school, which not all lesbians do, or have to do, or should do, but which does exist. I think we all like it. There will absolutely, I’m sure, come a day when our son is like, ‘I went over to someone else’s house and they don’t fucking do this all day. I didn’t know you could live with such beautiful quiet.’ Maybe that will be one of the ways in which heterosexuality will reintroduce itself back to our home.”

I recently came across an obituary that was stretching the truth to say the least. It described the man as a “pillar of the community” and well known to important businessmen. The man had a tire shop and sold tires to local companies for their machinery. My eyes could not have rolled back into my head any harder.

Have you come across obituaries that are stretching the truth or outright fabrications?

They're doing a press conference for him on Monday. Its about my DIL who was killed in an car accident 3 yrs ago. So he's been reliving everything. I'm so proud of him. I have no idea what a press conference is like, or what to wear, lol. I don't want to embarrass him.

More than $64,000 so far for a woman who let her kid fall out a window — if that's really what happened.

How are people so stupid?

Did we discuss this at the time?

It’s juicy!

I’d tap that.

I’d tap that twice.

Typical Male-Tina Turner. What else?

And recalling the two scenes that affected me the most as a little kid when I saw it for the first time: most upsetting was the amputation scene, which was just traumatizing. Almost as upsetting was the scene where the women are staying up all night when the men lead the raid on the Shantytown, and the atmosphere is so tense, and Melanie starts reading David Copperfield aloud. I remember imagining what it might be like to find yourself in a tense situation and on top of all the tension, someone would start reading David Copperfield aloud… that really worried me.

Kathy Griffin has hired a professional sleuth to track down her estranged husband after failing to serve him divorce papers.

The former “Fashion Police” co-host enlisted a private investigator to locate Randy Bick after she kicked him out of her Los Angeles mansion, but even he couldn’t find the marketing executive, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.

“[Bick] left the former family residence at [Griffin’s] request and has not been in contact with her or told him where he is residing or staying,” the documents state.

“[Griffin] retained the services of a Private Investigator to serve [Bick], but this too has been unsuccessful. [Griffin] will make further attempts to locate Respondent and will now take steps to enter his default.”

Though the stand-up comedian has been unable to locate Bick, he has been actively posting on X as recently as Tuesday.

Bick didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Griffin, 63, filed for divorce from Bick, 46, in December — just days before their fourth wedding anniversary. She listed the date of separation as Dec. 22, 2023, and cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.

Her dissolution filing also revealed that the “My Life on the D-List” alum and Bick signed a prenuptial agreement on Dec. 23, 2019, just nine days before they said “I do” in a surprise New Year’s Day ceremony.

“Well…s–t. This sucks,” she tweeted shortly after the news of her divorce made headlines.

Top Hollywood producer Carol Baum has slammed actress Sydney Sweeney following the release of her hit film "Anyone But You."

Baum said that Sweeney "isn't pretty" and that she "can't act," going on to question why the two-time Emmy-nominated actress' career had taken off.

Baum, who declared that Sweeney's new film is "unwatchable," however admitted that she wouldn't pass up a chance to take on a project if Sweeney starred in it.

Seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster is mulling a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as it looks to restructure its debt, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Red Lobster has been getting advice from law firm King & Spalding, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. The dining chain is considering a possible Chapter 11 filing to shed some long-term contracts and renegotiate a swath of leases, the people said.

Red Lobster's cash flows have been weighed down by onerous leases and labor costs, among other issues. Restructuring discussions are ongoing and a final decision hasn't been made, they said. Filing for bankruptcy would allow the company to keep operating while it works on a debt-cutting plan.

Messages left with Red Lobster and King & Spalding were not returned.

In January 1991, he took command of the biggest military operation mounted since the Second World War. He had beneath him a formidable array of weapons and men. Within a few months, he had used them with astonishing small loss of life on their side to drive the occupying army of Iraq from the Kingdom of Kuwait.

A graduate of West Point, he speaks fluent German and French, loves fishing, the opera, and Bob Dylan. "War," he says, "is a profanity."

A couple of months ago I predicted the movie was going to get shelved because the writers/actors strike pushed the start date too close to a potential Warner Bros. acquisition date and that whoever bought the movie studio would want a fresh DC slate.

That didn’t happen and the movie went into production but they just announced character actor Pruitt Taylor Vince is cast as Jonathan Kent. Glenn Ford played it in the Donner film and Kevin Costner in the Snyder film.

Look at the cast list for the movie. None of these people are famous other than Hoult, Brosnahan and Gunn’s friend Nathan Fillion. Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Wendell Pierce, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, María Gabriela de Faría, Anthony Carrigan.

This movie has had its budget SEVERELY REDUCED. It is being made on a shoestring. It’s even being shot on the cheap with Atlanta standing in for Metropolis (Superman was shot in New York, Superman Returns in Sydney and Man of Steel in Chicago.). Given what David Zaslav did to Coyote Vs. Acme, he may not even have any intention of releasing it. If it was going to be released theatrically, it would need a fortune in vfx work (Man of Steel cost $225 million) and if they are willing to spend that much money then they probably would have bothered to cast the film with famous people. Even Gunn’s own Guardians of the Galaxy assembled a stellar cast including Glenn Close, Djimon Honsou and Benicio del Toro and that was untested IP. It’s unfathomable that a studio tentpole of such important IP would fill its cast with no-names.

This has actually happened before - a superhero film made out of legal obligations with no intention of it being released. Google Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's six-year-long divorce received a new update as Jenna requested compensation from Channing's Magic Mike earnings.

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum's divorce continues to unfold.

Nearly six years after the Step Up alums—who share 10-year-old daughter Everly—confirmed their breakup, they are still working through their divorce proceedings, as Jenna seeks a share of Channing's earnings from the Magic Mike franchise.

In documents obtained by NBC News, Jenna's lawyers argue that "intellectual property" from Channing's Magic Mike appearances has grown into a "multi-million cultural phenomenon," and, because the original film and its first sequel came out during their marriage, it should be considered "community in character."

"During the parties' marriage, Channing, an actor and producer got his big break with the motion picture Magic Mike," the documents, filed April 10, read. "which along with the underlying intellectual property, was developed and co-financed by Channing during marriage with community effort and marital funds."

The Magic Mike franchise, which released its first film in 2012, second in 2015, and third in 2023, was created by Steven Soderbergh—who directed the first and last installments—and is loosely based on Channing's experiences as a male stripper in Tampa in his late teens

The initial film earned about $167.2 million globally, and its most recent and final installment garnered $57.1 million, per The Hollywood Reporter. It has also inspired a 2021 spin-off reality series. Jenna's legal team alleges in the docs that Channing and his financial team "created a complex web of LLCs, holding companies and partnerships" to "dilute" the earnings and offspring profit Magic Mike has accumulated. The 43-year-old—who was declared legally single in 2019—also contends that her ex-husband "failed to disclose" business opportunities provided by Magic Mike following their 2018 split. In addition to the couple's hearing that took place April 12, Jenna's team requested a subsequent trial to determine how the couple will split assets going forward.

I'm visiting both towns and also Edinburgh in mid-June. I've been to Edinburgh before (I am not the poster who asked last week about whether to go to Dublin or Edinburgh), but the other two cities are new to me. i am spending more time in Glasgow than Dundee (which i am visiting only briefly).

Saw this acronym yesterday on a press release from a "gay rights" nonprofit, although I assume they'd take issue with the term gay rights at this point.

Apparently "2S" stands for "two spirits."

I'm all for inclusivity. I am a trans ally. I believe everyone should be able to identify themselves however they want. But to me, an acronym like that signals a kind of deep triviality. It's confusing and off-putting, as well as non-inclusive in its own way.

End rant.

According to police, the old man had been contacted that day by phone scammers claiming they had kidnapped a relative of his and would kill them unless Gramps paid a ransom. Around the same time, someone (perhaps the same scammer) requested an Uber package pickup at the old man's house. The job was claimed by 61 year-old Lo-Letha Hall, who showed up minutes later to pick up the package she was sent to retrieve. When she arrived, Old Fart pulled an ancient pistol on her, accusing her of being in cahoots with the scammers. He grabbed her phone and held her at gunpoint. When she tried to flee back to her car, he blew her away. The whole thing was captured on the woman's dashcam.

He's being charged with murder, and will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Senile degenerate.

Somebody needs to take phones away from old fucks. And driver's licenses. And handguns. Just put them in nice little morgue drawers and let them wait out the inevitable without killing normal people.

Women across the country have been bonding online over their “Ozempic babies” − surprise pregnancies while taking weight loss medications, despite being on birth control or having a history of fertility issues. Now, some of them say they’re experiencing intense symptoms such as extreme hunger and rapid weight gain after quitting these drugs cold turkey to protect their baby’s health.

Although hunger and weight gain are typical during pregnancy, these women say that the intensity of their symptoms is unlike that of their previous pregnancies. It’s unclear if pregnancy worsens weight loss medication withdrawal, but fertility and bariatric experts say hormonal changes associated with pregnancy could explain the fierce effects.

A family is pleading for answers in the search for a University of Missouri student who has been missing since Friday after he left a bar in Nashville, Tennessee.

Riley Strain, 22, a senior, was last seen Friday night by friends at a bar in Nashville’s bustling Broadway area, known for nightlife, Nashville police said.

He was visiting town with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers for their spring formal, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported, but they got separated after he was asked to leave country singer Luke Bryan's bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, his family told NBC affiliate WSMV of Nashville.

“At approximately 9:45 p.m., he was asked to leave Luke Bryan’s bar,” Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, told the station. “They got separated. The boys called him, and he said, 'I’m walking back to my hotel.' They didn’t think anything about it.”

When his friends returned to Tempo Hotel, about a half-mile away, they saw Strain’s room key but no sign of him. When they tried to call him, his phone was dead.

The young men went out to search for him, checked his Snapchat locations, and they went through the other fraternity brothers’ rooms but did not find him, so they called his parents.

Whiteid, along with his wife, Michelle Whiteid, traveled from Springfield, Missouri, to Nashville to search for him.

“We talk every day, multiple times a day,” Michelle Whiteid said. “This is the longest I’ve ever gone without talking to him.”

“We’re in a bad dream. Can we wake up? Please, just let us wake up,” her husband told WSMV.

Chris Whiteid told the Post-Dispatch that according to security video, it appeared that Strain was heading back to the hotel but took a wrong turn. It's not clear where the video was from.

Searches took place Monday, including a helicopter search of Gay Street, the area where Strain was last seen, the riverbank and a ground search, “but to no avail,” police said.

On Tuesday, police shared security video showing Strain, wearing a two-tone shirt, crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at 9:47 p.m. Friday. That cross-section is about 0.7 miles from the bar he was at earlier.

TC Restaurant Group, the operator and owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge, said it, too, was working with police to provide security camera video and other potentially helpful information to aid in the search.

Strain is described as 6-foot-5 with a thin build, blue eyes and light brown hair.

She would have been 91 today.

Thoughts?

She never wanted to be an actress, but at Illinois State University she joined a tight-knit group consisting of John Malkovich, Glenn Headley, Joan Allen, and Terry Kinney, who persuaded her to study acting and join the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago.

From Chicago to New York, she was cast in Saturday Night Live, although she appeared in only one episode. However, she was noticed and cast as the younger and neurotic sister of Roseanne Barr in the NBC hit Roseanne, where she won three consecutive Emmys. She also showcased her range on the big screen appearing in films such as Uncle Buck, Internal Affairs, JFK, Dear God, Scream 2, Bulworth, Lady Bird, and the Toy Story series. We have not even begun to discuss her theater work.

"I was too practical to major in theater," she says, "acting - what was I going to do with acting? There was no future in it...."

Producers Seaview made the announcement today.

The production should not be confused with yet another high-profile revival of the star-crossed lovers = the West End production of Romeo & Juliet starring Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, which also is eyeing a Broadway staging. Jamie Lloyd directs that one.”

The Renoir Sucks at Painting movement (if one can call it that) was the brainchild of Max Geller, and came to life after he encountered the sizable collection of Renoir paintings at Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation. Its central outlet is an Instagram account that features close-ups of Renoir paintings accompanied by satirical, often long-winded critiques.

Donald Trump on Monday complained that he won't be able to attend his son Barron's high school graduation because he has to attend his New York criminal trial.

“As you know, my son has graduated from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son, who's worked very, very hard. He's a great student,” Trump said to reporters outside a New York courtroom. “He's very proud of the fact that he did so well and was looking forward for years to have graduation with his mother and father there.”

“It looks like the judge isn't going to allow me to escape this scam. It's a scam trial,” Trump said. “It's a political witch hunt.”

Is anyone watching this on HBO? Jerrod is definitely not without his flaws. I do find it to be real, and honest. I'm curious what your thoughts are.

NPR has suspended a veteran editor who wrote an essay criticizing the public broadcaster for having what he described as a lack of politically diverse viewpoints.

Uri Berliner, an award-winning business journalist who has worked at the network for 25 years, will be off the job for five days without pay. Berliner acknowledged the suspension Monday in an interview with National Public Radio. He did not respond to The Times’ request for comment.

The suspension came after Berliner put a harsh spotlight on NPR with an April 9 opinion piece for the Substack newsletter the Free Press. He said the decline in NPR’s audience levels is due to a move toward liberal political advocacy and catering to “a distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population.” The overall thrust of the piece asserted that NPR has “lost America’s trust.”

An NPR representative said the network “does not comment on individual personnel matters, including discipline. We expect all of our employees to comply with NPR policies and procedures, which for our editorial staff includes the NPR Ethics Handbook.”

Berliner was told by management last week that he violated company policy by failing to secure its approval to supply work for other news outlets, according to an NPR news report by media correspondent David Folkenflik. Berliner was informed that he will be fired if he violates that policy again.

On Monday, conservative activists resurfaced years old social media posts by current NPR Chief Executive Katherine Maher, in which she expressed her disdain for former President Trump. In one 2020 post, she called Trump a racist.

Maher took on her NPR role in January. She previously headed the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, which operates Wikipedia, and has no previous experience in journalism. NPR has said Maher was not in an editorial role at the foundation when she made the social media posts, adding that she “is entitled to free speech as a private citizen.”

Sure they are useful but I just got back from eating dinner with a friend and almost every table had people sitting glued to their phones. We went to a Japanese steakhouse and we were the first to be seated at one of the hibachi tables. A family group came in and were seated with us. Immediately out came the cellphones. The parents on theirs and the two kids on theirs. The chef was almost entirely ignored except by us. Subsequent groups filed in, were seated and the same scenario played out.

Does anyone talk anymore? I find it both rude and sad.

The testimony is quite damning.

This morning I had to make a 2 hour drive and for a change turned my radio on. It sucked. I'll bet between 3 stations I got maybe 5 songs. The rest was ads, yakkity yak between the djs and their crews, phone pranks and other stupid shit. The people yapping were loud and shockingly dumb. They didn't even play any good music between the classic rock, alternative and top 40. I finally gave up and plugged in my own playlist. The state of top 40 is really bad now which would explain my lack of knowledge of newer artists.

I agree with some of what he says but a lot I don't. He says if you're a person of color it's a disadvantage- not if you're hot. He says twinks have privilege because they are smooth. I hate that word PRVILEGE applied like that. It reeks of jealousy. He's complaining because he was hairy at a young age- me too. I HATED it. By the time I was fourteen and half years old I was getting hair on my chest and stomach ( I HATED IT) in addition to having to shave EVERY day like an adult.

Decided on a whim to check out the Steel City Con on Saturday morning.

I've always loved Molly Ringwald, so a few friends and I headed over to see if we could clap eyes on her. It was PACKED, and $50 a ticket seemed steep. Oh well. C'est la vie aujord 'hui.

Here are my thoughts

Everyone from The Breakfast Club was there except for Estevez, and they all look pretty good. Anthony Michael Hall was up and about, hugging everyone who got a picture. Ally Sheedy seemed more aloof, Ringwald was somewhere in the middle.

The 90210 people were incredibly popular. They had a roundtable discussion in a big tent in the parking lot (nicer than it sounds) that was packed. I stood in the back and listened a bit, and the fans went apeshit every time someone talked. Tori Spelling also seemed to be having a pretty good time., laughing and talking with everyone. It was good to see Shannen Doherty up and about. Hope she got a good amount of cash.

Rosie O'Donnell and Geena Davis were both there, so charmingly enough, there were a lot of young girls dressed up as Rockford Peaches roaming around. Very cute.

Smallest lines (not to be mean) were Heather Graham and DL legend Debra Messing. At one point, they announced "Debra Messing will be leaving at 4:00, so get in line now!" That helped her a bit, but not much.

Susan Sarandon was the only celebrity not out in the open. She had her own little curtain box shielding her from the hoi polloi. That tracked.

Ernie Hudson also had a huge line all day. Again, lots of kids in Ghostbusters jumpsuits. Cute. Ad trust me, he can still get it if he wants it. A very attractive man, even up close. (Passed by him as he was being escorted somewhere)

Ian Ziering is still pretty attractive as well.

Have to say... I'd go again. The people watching is insane.

If they were trying to deplatform her, it's having the OPPOSITE effect ...

Deborah Vance is back.

Looks promising.

My neighbor drowned last month on a fishing trip. He was in his mid-50s and worked in a factory.

His family (wife and five kids) have been posting non-stop on social media about how much they miss and love him, sharing photos of them all together when they were little at various events like birthdays and christmas. The kids are all in their 20/30s, but 2 still live at home. Last year, the father (minor klepto) hid stolen goods in the oldest son's car and the cops ended up searching the car, and the son got arrested and the father didn't even defend him. the son didn't go to jail, just came back a few days later and smashed up the father's car, threatened to beat him up.

Another situation involved him calling his own daughter a slut in front of the entire neighborhood, and puncturing the wheels of her bike.

He was constantly having domestic disputes with the wife and her family (the wife's sister lived with them and appartently liked to stir drama) The police were called constantly due to his drunken violence. My point is, despite all the drama and brawling when he was alive, everybody seemed genuinely devastated when he died and were sobbing like crazy at the funeral. They still look very shaken up and depressed a month after his death.

The reason it makes me sad is because even though I never wanted marriage/kids, it's depressing to know when I die nobody will grieve for me like my neighbor's family grieve for him. Despite all the crap he put them through, they love him and miss him because he's family.

Can you believe it was 112 years ago tonight? I’m sure some of you were alive and remember it.

Monday is Patriots' Day and Boston is gearing up for the 128th running of the Boston Marathon—the world's oldest annual long-distance race.

30,000 participants are arriving in Boston from 129 countries and all 50 states—many to fulfill a personal goal and many to raise money for charity. This historic event brings such an exciting energy to Boston and embodies the spirit of community that defines our beloved city.

This year's race occurs on the same day as One Boston Day—a day set aside to honor the "resiliency, generosity, and strength demonstrated by the people of Boston and those around the world in response to the tragedy of April 15, 2013."

Is anyone on DL running?

Who has run the marathon in the past?

Marathon Monday is such a wonderful day in Boston!

I need it. I’ve had it before. But there’s still work to do. Every therapist I call says they’re either full or are Telehealth only. Like I want to process my trauma and pain REMOTELY. How does that make any sense at all? I already feel alone as it is.

I get that therapists don’t want to spend money on rent if they don’t need to — but it just suddenly feels like I’m at a drive thru talking about my molestation through the clown’s mouth.

Jesus Christ. I’m exasperated and feeling defeated and deflated and like I’m just gonna walk through the rest of my life carrying this fucking baggage.

How long are Austin Butler’s tits onscreen. This will be the deciding factor.

The arts are infested with conservatives.

Public housing is far, far more common.

Most of the classic TV dramas on PBS are from ITV, not the BBC.

This film is truly incredible from start to finish. Would I call it a masterpiece? No, but I would say it’s pretty close to being one. There are pacing issues with this one that most either don’t care about or don’t notice, but I did. However, its positives massively outweigh the minor negatives. The cinematography, the script, the visual effects, the costume designs, the sound effects, the acting.. it’s just tremendous.

Timothee Chalamet gives a true leading man movie star performance, and is phenomenal from start to end. He was perfectly cast as Paul and you see that more and more as the movie plays. By the third act he is truly superb and Oscar worthy! He carries a massive film like this and leads it with such poise and masterful acting.

Rebecca Ferguson goes full mama bear as Lady Jessica in this one and is kinda scary (in a good way). She deserves all the accolades she’s receiving for her performance here. She speaks very little as we get further into the movie but still manages to say so much through body language and using expressions and her eyes. I never thought of Ferguson as much of a “real” actress for some reason but she was truly great here!

Christopher Walken and Florence Pugh share almost all their scenes together (besides Pugh with Charlotte Rampling) and their scenes are far and few in between everyone else but they are so wonderful that you look forward to seeing them on screen again. Pugh doesn’t have much to do as Princess Irulan but the little she does do sticks because she has such a large screen presence, and she holds her own opposite a terrific and very strong Christopher Walken (in what may be one of his better performances) and an (always) brilliant Charlotte Rampling.

Oh, Austin Butler. Where to even begin. Not only is this performance amazing, it’s arguably his best performance (yes, better than Elvis). He shows up more than halfway into the movie and his introduction scene… they knew what they were doing (see image below and you know what I mean). He’s pale skinned and 100% hairless (as are all his kind of people) but Jesus did he look HOT AS FUCK IN THIS. He’s evil, psychotic and scary but so fucking hot. His performance could easily get him a supporting actor nomination if he plays his cards right. My biggest issue is that there wasn’t enough of him in this movie. I also feel they didn’t play up his psychotic nature enough but for the most part it was all done well and Austin was phenomenal. He never missed a beat and looked like a gorgeous alien while doing so.

Zendaya is the heart of this film and she’s so fucking likable in it. She gives a movie star performance and is incredibly charming as Chani and you feel bad for her by the end of the film. In the final act she has a lot less lines and a lot more acting to do with her eyes and she NAILS IT. All the praise for her in this is justified. I know there is discourse about all the changes Denis made to the Chani character from the book and I get it but at least people are loving her in the film. She also has the closing scene in the movie, by herself.

Javier Bardem is perfection and adds a lot of life to every scene he is in.

Another negative is the war is too quick. It should have lasted longer.

If you have questions… ask. And go see it on the big screen. It’s so worth it.

We haven't had a thread to talk broadly about British shows and/or the PBS or Britbox viewings of them in the US for a while.

Starting off with something that apparently happened a few months ago....the sexy guy that played Spiros on The Durrells has been ACCUSED! of sexual harassment/assault/rape. (He was serving as a rep in EU parliament.)

What has happened to these two lovebirds?

I hear Boston doesn’t have a strong gay scene. Are there lots of tops there to get pounded? I hear the New England disposition is quite gritty, does that carry over into the bedroom too?

This is one of the most frightening films that I have ever seen.

I am an Ari Ester fan, and it is probably more disturbing than Hereditary and Midsommer.

I watched it a year ago, and then again today- and it was more disturbing on a second viewing.

The script is very cruel once you know what happens-

One of the very few horror films that is more horrifying on the 2nd viewing.

I do not know how these actors did it- in this film particularly-

Amazing film-

He would've been 92 in 2024 but he died in 2015 at age 83 so that was a goal unable to be accomplished .

As all DLers know he co-starred in Funny Girl in 1968, They had a bit of an onset romance which caused quite a bit of gossip at the time as Omar is of Arab descent and Barbra is Jewish. At the same time Israel and Egypt were involved in the 6 day war.

Has anyone seen it? It isn't playing anywhere near me, unfortunately. "The film centers on Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife as they strive to build a dream life next to the concentration camp."

Because- assuming the weather returns to normal patterns soon - that means all this greenery will dry up by November and December, when the Santa Ana winds blow in from the desert, and a flicked cigarette or snapped powerline can set an entire hillside on fire.

My friend has been giving me a lot of fresh eggs, as she keeps chickens. They really are good (like how a tomato from the garden tastes more “tomato-y” than one from the store.) So I looked at some egg recipes.

Intimidated by the idea of making a soufflé my whole life, I was mostly leery of folding in the whipped egg whites - but one tutorial pointed out the whites don’t have to be 100% meticulously incorporated. There can be streaks of white. Another recipe recommended the mold be baked in a pan of hot water, so I added that step.

Anyway, it turned out great, even though I don’t have the perfect baking pan! I was surprised that the process wasn’t hard if I went step by step, and accepted that the unbaked soufflé batter isn’t as delicate as I assumed. The only delicate part is serving it immediately, which everyone knows, anyway. And not opening the over door during the first 25 mins.

I got a letter today asking if I wanted to get in touch with the sender, a friend in college from 50 years ago. I have not heard one word from him since 1996. His last phone call was enough to sever any contact since. He was fun back in the 70's but hasn't had or been much fun since. The last time I saw him in person, about 30 years ago, he was drunk and combative and trying to pick up (and then start fights with when they blew him off) members of a water polo team half his age at a hotel in Florida. He was out of control to the point that I left.

He has had issues with alcohol and maintaining his mental health, attempted suicide and failed, never had a job equal to his potential and clearly had a lot bad going on when I lost contact with him, deliberately. I'm guessing the outreach boilerplate is part of a recovery process - "I'm trying to reconnect with some old friends of which I consider you one" but also "If you don't choose to respond, please accept my apologies."

I'm not eager to reply as I have enough drama in my life already and no great desire to catch up even if he is sober now. It might be interesting, it might be sad, and I dunno, if he's fragile I don't want to make things worse for him. Given what I knew of him years back, it likely means he wants something. But what? Would you be interested enough to follow up and find out?

Voice of the Night's prior thread:

"At present, if a child is smacked, hit or slapped in England and Northern Ireland, parents may be able to argue that this was "reasonable punishment" and avoid breaking the law."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition by MyPillow founder and election denier Mike Lindell to consider his challenge to the legality of the FBI's seizure of his cellphone at a restaurant drive-through.

The high court, without comment Monday, declined to reconsider three lower court rulings that went against Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump.

FBI agents seized the cellphone from him at a Hardee's fast-food restaurant in the southern Minnesota city of Mankato in 2022 as part of an investigation into an alleged scheme to breach voting system technology in Mesa County, Colorado. Lindell alleged the confiscation violated his constitutional rights against unlawful search and seizure and was an attempt by the government to chill his freedom of speech.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed.

“While he has at times attempted to assert otherwise, Lindell’s objective in this action is apparent — this litigation is a tactic to, at a minimum, interfere with and, at most, enjoin a criminal investigation and ultimately hamper any potential federal prosecution," a three-judge appeals panel wrote last September.

In February, when Lindell turned to the Supreme Court, his attorneys said Lindell had still not gotten his phone back.

Monday's decision was the latest in a run of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who is being sued for defamation by two voting machine companies. Lawyers who were originally defending him in those cases quit over unpaid bills.

A credit crunch last year disrupted cash flow at MyPillow after it lost Fox News as one of its major advertising platforms and was dropped by several national retailers. A judge in February affirmed a $5 million arbitration award to a software engineer who challenged data Lindell said proves China interfered in the 2020 election.

An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting an Uber driver who thought she was picking up a package from the man's house. Both appeared to have been victims of scam phone calls, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

Investigators discovered that Brock had earlier received a scam call about an incarcerated relative, which had involved threats and demands for money.

An unknown man told Brock over the phone he needed to pay $12,000 to get his nephew out of jail, according to a police report. Brock told police the caller threatened to kill him and his nephew if he didn't pay the ransom, the report said.

The same caller, or an accomplice, later hired Hall using the Uber app to pick up a package from Brock's residence, according to investigators. Hall was not aware that Brock had been threatened, the sheriff's office. said.

"Ms. Hall, suffering from medical conditions and unarmed, made no threats or assaults toward Mr. Brock, and made no demands, other than to ask about the package she was sent to retrieve," the sheriff's office said.

Brock allegedly held Hall at gunpoint and demanded to know the identities of the people who had called him. He also took Hall's phone and refused to allow her to leave, officials said, adding that Brock did not try to call police at this point.

When Hall tried to get back into her vehicle, Brock allegedly shot her, and there was a "subsequent scuffle at the door of Ms. Hall's vehicle," the sheriff's office said. Brock then allegedly shot her two more times, before calling 911.

A cruise turned into a nightmare for people aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas when a young man jumped overboard shortly after 4 a.m. Thursday.

The 18-story ship was sailing between Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island when the as-yet-unidentified man jumped off one of the decks.

According to onlookers, his father and brother watched helplessly as he leaped over the side.

Some passengers said it appeared to be an impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decision.

“I had hung out with him and his brother in the hot tub until 3:30,” passenger Bryan Sims tells The Post. ” It was standing room only. He sat right beside me the whole time.”

“He was pretty drunk,” Sims continues.

“As we were walking from the hot tub back to the elevators, his dad and brother were walking towards us. His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess.”

“When we got to them, he said to his dad, ‘I’ll fix this right now.’ And he jumped out the window in front of us all.”

“There was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately,” another passenger, Deborah Morrison, told The Post.

“His family was horrified. Just beside themselves. I can’t even begin to imagine what they’re going through.”

“It was insane,” says Sims. “It was just surreal.”

In a statement to The Post, Royal Caribbean said its crew immediately sprang into action following the incident.

“The ship’s crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the US Coast Guard, who has taken over the search,” the statement reads.

“Our Care Team is providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share.”

News of the apparent suicide attempt quickly spread among the guests — and many of them tried to help in any way they could.

“The early morning was definitely somber as so many people came out of their cabins to stare at the sea, hoping to be able to aid in finding the person,” said Amy Phelps Fouse, a passenger on the ship.

“Royal Caribbean has been excellent at communicating updates throughout the day,” Fouse continued. “They have asked that people act with compassion in light of the tragic situation.”

Overboard incidents on cruise ships are rare.

According to the Washington Post, about 386 people were reported to have gone overboard on the major cruise lines between 2000 to 2020.

The incidents, whether accidental or intentional, are often deadly.

In the past few years, most cruise lines have enacted onboard safety measures and surveillance systems to help reduce the risk of overboard deaths.

The Coast Guard confirmed to The Post it is still conducting a search and rescue operation in the waters off Cuba. The man has not yet been found.

San Francisco was light years ahead of a city like New York in 1976- they show all of the different aspects of gay life in San Francisco in 1976 including a gay bathhouse. The narrator is not homophobic/hateful in any way and quite respectful. In NYC at that time they would only report on a gay bathhouse if there was a murder or deaths from a fire- which occurred in May 1977 at the Everard Bathhouse. I was only 10 years old in 1976. It must have been so exciting ( pre AIDS) to live in San Francisco in the mid to late 1970's. Definitely the best place in the world at that time for a gay man to live.

Prince Timmy is a chameleon: he IS the embodiment of Bob Dylan, only leagues better looking and sexy.

It resulted in the impeachment of the president, life imprisonment of the captain, imprisonment of the crew...

[quote]Seoul: Ten years ago Tuesday, an overloaded South Korean ferry capsized and sank, killing hundreds of schoolchildren who had been ordered to stay in their cabins even as the captain evacuated.

[quote]The accident and botched rescue triggered nationwide fury. The ship's "incompetent" crew were jailed, the wreckage of the Sewol ferry lifted, and South Korea's then-president Park Geun-hye impeached, in part over her disastrous mishandling of the accident.

The tragedy is that the government allowed the children to drown, as they would not allow rescuers to approach the sinking ship.

“ The first series will see The Duchess, otherwise known as Meghan Markle, celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.

The second series follows the world of professional polo. Shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series will explore the world of the sport, which is known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene. It will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level. Prince Harry has been known as a keen polo player and is often photographed playing internationally.“

Megan Fox wants women to “move on” from men this summer.

E! News asked the “Jennifer’s Body” star at Coachella this past weekend to give advice to single ladies who plan to have a hot girl summer this year, and she admitted she probably wasn’t the “best person to ask.”

“Just learn a skill or develop a hobby and do not waste your energy on boys,” Fox said. “All they’re gonna [sic] do is drain you.”

That is all.

The executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate says he will do “everything” in his power to keep the families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson from seeing payment of a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment that was granted to them by a jury in a California civil case in 1997.

“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he said. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”

OJ Simpson's lawyer is a slimy piece of shit just like the dead, motherfucking double-murderer who should have been stuffed in the gas chamber 30 years ago.

According to her former aide Stephanie Grisham, the classy Melania Knavs Trump refers to Stormy Daniels as 'The Porn Hooker'. Pot, meet kettle.

It used to be that men who did gay porn were pretty shockingly underpaid, and really they only did gay porn to advertise themselves as escorts, which is where they made the real money.

Now onlyfans and other direct-to-pocket services have changed all that. Austin Wolf and Reno Gold are millionaires through onlyfans, and Timothy Champagne are on his way.

How common is this? And why do only certain guys seem to reach that level? Austin Wolf is exceptional because of his sheer physical size and sluttiness, but I am surprised Reno Gold is so wealthy given that he's short and he will almost never do anal sex on camera.

When I was little, my parents had a book of silly sayings, which seem to me now to be a collection of silly things that kids wrote in yearbooks in the 1950s. I used to read that book and crack up and then memorize them and recite them to kids at school.

I’ll list some of the ones I remember. Feel free to post your own silliness.

Former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorne who was tailgating me, just rear ended a FL State Trooper‼️ Im SHOOK 🤯😡😳

I was driving on i75S towards Miami in the left lane and this black tinted sports car was tailgating me relentlessly. I accelerated ahead and moved to the right lane in front of a tractor trailer to let the car by. 5 mins later the highway comes to a complete stop, I swerve to the side so no one rear ends me and slow to a halt. Suddenly the car door opens and a man in a wheelchair rolls out. At the same moment I have to navigate around his car and I look ahead to see the officer exiting from his rear ended vehicle holding his neck in the left lane as well. I pulled over to the right shoulder lane and stopped to ask if everyone was ok and to offer assistance.

I couldnt believe my eyes. It occured to me that former CONGRESSMAN CAWTHORNE from NC was the black CAR that stormed by me in an angry road rage tantrum. I spoke to the cop to see if he was ok as he was quite stunned & kept reaching for his neck. He said he was ok, asked if I was a witness, (I wasnt, I must have been 30 seconds behind) and I gave them water as i didnt know what else to do after he thanked me for stopping.

As I drove away & replayed the surreal scene in my head I realized it was the same car who was erratically & aggressively driving behind & then around me. Unbelievably scary & upsetting to see 🥺

(Happened at 4:32pm heading South on i75 towards Miami around the Big Cypress Reservation)

A modern day reworking of iconic sitcom The Golden Girls is what TV audiences are longing for - but not a simply remake.

One of the show’s acclaimed writers feels that the Jane Lynch led planned sitcom take on Golden Girls will be "wonderful". Award winning creative David A. Goodman feels that while it’s easy to "trash" the concept, Lynch’s skills and "recapturing the magic" will lead to a big success. Goodman says that he sat back in awe watching Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty turn his jokes into TV gold.

Goodman also opened up on some moments with show star Betty and even mistakenly being "rude" to Quentin Tarantino - who played an Elvis impersonator. Goodman, who also penned The Orville and Family Guy episodes, is optimistic that "brilliant' Lynch and Cyndi Lauper’s project to create a "kind of a ‘Golden Girls’ for today" will be a hit.

In an exclusive interview with the Mirror US, Goodman said of the reboot: "I root for somebody to try to recapture something as exciting as that. As long as they're not redoing old scripts, as long as they're finding a fresh take. And I think it's wonderful to try to recapture. There was a simplicity to that show that I think audiences love, and if somebody can try to do that again, I think that's great.

"I've worked with Jane a lot. She's very talented, She's a delightful perfect person. I think that is very easy to trash that kind of effort as derivative or as, but that's not, but I don't think that's the goal of those writers. I think the goal is to do something funny and use a familiar piece of intellectual property to bring an audience in, but you've got to keep them. And so I'm all for that. It's about the writing and the acting.

"On that show, you had this incredibly talented group of writers and you had this incredible group of actors who were pros, who brought so much to the party. I wrote many jokes that came out of Bea Arthur's mouth, but once she said them, they weren't my joke anymore. They were hers because she understood how to play that character. So that's the goal.” Goodman, who is honored this month with the WGAW Morgan Cox Award in recognition of outstanding services to the Guild, added: “It's not going to be the same show. It's going to be its own thing.

"And it's so many years later, it's 35 years later, they've got to define it for themselves. But there are a lot of really talented writers in Hollywood and actors and performers. and they can create something memorable. It's never going to be easy, but just putting the tag of Golden Girls on your show doesn't make it easier. It makes it harder. And I'm sure they know that.”

With streaming services’ growth over the last decade, many traditional family sitcoms have been replaced with edgier, darker and even x-rated comedies. But Goodman insists that the biggest audience for networks and streamers will be family-orientated gag-filled dramas. "Comedy is always evolving, I think there is room for a Golden Girls-type show. Audiences still love well-produced Multicam shows, family shows.

Tuberculosis outbreak at Chicago migrant shelters sparks urgent contact tracing as officials say a FIFTH of Latin American arrivals carry the disease

The Chicago Department of Public Health said 'a small number of cases' were reported 'in a few different shelters' around the city.

Health officials confirmed a fifth of Latin American arrivals carry TB, but it usually latent, not contagious, and asymptomatic.

The TB cases come after 55 measles cases were detected in the city, the majority originating from the Pilsen migrant shelter

These cases come as the city is increasing its budget with the firm that's been helping with migrant health care.

SEE ALSO | 1st measles case confirmed in suburban Cook County as Chicago's total rises to 52

The city extended its contract with Favorite Healthcare late last month for an additional $85 million.

It's the third multi-million dollar increase to this contract since late December.

A transgender charity runner from Daventry will attempt to complete the full set of six marathon ‘majors’ in Boston on Monday after competing in the events in three gender categories.

Glenique Frank, who apologised after last year’s London Marathon following criticism for running in the female category, is calling on race organisers to now introduce a specific category for transgender athletes.

“I want to campaign to get a category in world sport and charity events, anything, for transgender athletes,” she told the BBC.

“Governments around the world need to look at this seriously because there is a lot of transgender athletes that are entering illegally and it’s actually giving the transgender community a bad name.”

The 55-year-old has raised around £36,000 for UK charities in previously completing the other five 26.2 mile marathon majors in New York, Tokyo, Chicago, Berlin and London.

This could be very good or very bad.

Some very good camp performances have come from actors not naturally inclined to it (Bruce Willis in “Death Becomes Her”, Matthew McConaughey in “Magic Mike”, Guy Pearce in “Priscilla”) who cannot really calibrate the subtleties, so they close their eyes, slam their foot on the pedal and hope to reach 100 mph without killing anybody. It works or it doesn’t (if anyone can think of any in the latter category, I haven’t had coffee yet.)

The movie also stars Alex Pettyfer in his seventh or eighth comeback role, Cary Elwes who does nothing but camp these days (and is very good at it), and Alan Ritchson’s calves.

Alyssa Grenfell, 31, left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah to start a new life in New York City in 2017. Since then, she has been detailing the church’s inner workings on YouTube — including the rules she had to follow, like not having coffee.

In a recent minute-long video, Grenfell said she noticed on social media that many were curious why members of the Mormon Church tend to have a physical resemblance — in other words, “why certain people look Mormon.”

Grenfell pointed out that Ryan Gosling, 43, was born Mormon, noting in her video caption that “he has Mormon face.”

Grenfell’s lookalike theory isn’t salacious, rather, it comes down to community.

“Mormons really only marry other Mormons,” Grenfell reasoned. “You can’t marry in a Mormon temple unless it’s two Mormons getting married, this in large part has made it so that the gene pool is actually very small — especially in a place like Utah, where Mormons fled and went to Utah to be able to practice polygamy in peace.”

If only politicians had balls like this.

Peter Fonda apologized to the family of President Donald Trump Wednesday after writing on Twitter that "we should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles," in response to families being separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In addition to targeting 12-year-old Barron Trump, the Oscar-nominated actor and younger brother of Jane Fonda added in the all-caps tweet that he'd like to see if first lady Melania Trump would "stand up against the giant a****** she is married to."

Although the tweet has since been deleted, Mrs. Trump's office notified the Secret Service.

"The tweet is sick and irresponsible," the first lady's communications director Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.

I want to take an intensive german course for a month. I'm thinking of Vienna. People have said I would love it there. Not destroyed during WW ll. A lot to see and I could visit Salzburg. Never been to Austria. Kind of old to be starting such a byzantine complex language and I'll never be able to speak it(they all speak english anyway) but I could be able to read it in popular magazines and I love the German culture. I've started with a native speaking tutor to learn fundamentals on zoom.

Is this a good place to go? German cities look too dreary post war with a lot of ugly modern buildings. But when I see pre war photos they seem to have been amazing and very beautiful. What a bunch a very fucking stupid people to have it destroyed by war all that beauty that their ancestors built let alone the lives lost.

And I love their culture why? Because it was created by their genius ancestors.

“Tom has a list of conditions for his romantic partners.

Jupiter and Uranus April 16, 2024 | Uranus Two giants of the solar system huddle close together in the evening twilight the next few days. The viewing window is short, so you need to time it just right to see them.

Jupiter and Uranus are low in the west as twilight fades. Jupiter is easy to pick out — it looks like a brilliant star. Uranus is just above it tonight, by about the width of your finger held at arm’s length. But you need binoculars to pick it out. The planets will slide past each other on Sunday night.

Uranus is the Sun’s third-largest planet — four times the diameter of Earth. Its atmosphere is topped by an organic “haze,” which makes it tough to see much below it. The atmosphere consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. These elements are left over from the planet’s formation, from the cloud of gas that enveloped the young Sun.

The third-most-abundant member of the atmosphere is methane. It’s found mostly near the top of the atmosphere. Methane absorbs redder wavelengths of light, so Uranus looks like an almost featureless blue-green ball.

Methane is at least partially responsible for the high-altitude haze. Methane itself makes up part of the haze. The ultraviolet light from the Sun breaks apart some of the methane molecules. Their carbon and hydrogen then combine in different ways to make ethane, acetylene, and other compounds. So the haze is like the smog found over major cities — blocking much of this giant planet from view.

Otto Preminger's notorious race melodrama, 1967's "Hurry Sundown," has a few redeeming qualities, but the sleazy script & some ham acting are stupefying.

Lucky Joseph Vanous was born on April 11, 1961 in Lincoln, Nebraska. At 18 he joined the Army and served as a 1st Ranger Battalion. When he was discharged he decided to go to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, studying political science and history. While on a break he decided to visit NYC for the first time with a friend, where his life would change. This was the 1980s.

While walking around and exploring NYC for the first time, he was spotted by an agent for Elite Modeling Agency who rushed over to him, approaching him about his beauty and offered him a contract on the spot. He obliged and signed the contract on the spot, becoming one of the new faces for the agency. He then left college in Nebraska and moved to NYC.

His very first gig was for GQ Magazine and being shot by legendary photographer Francesco Scavullo. Shortly after he began booking big gigs in Europe, leading him to move to Europe and travel around Europe while also working. His new career as a model allowed him to travel and explore the world. Later he would do the same with Asia, before moving back to NYC and deciding to continue his college career. He entered NYU and then Fordham University to finish his studied before landing the campaign that would change his life and earn him a lot of money.

In 1994 Lucky landed a Diet Coke campaign that would have his face on hundreds of millions of homes around the world, and lead to a series of commercials and print ads. This campaign led him to drop out of college a second time and he never finished. His coke ads are some of the most successful for Coke, with them even having him travel around the states and Europe to promote Coke products.

After all his success with Coke commercials, he caught the acting bug and decided to wanted to try out acting. Unlike many models who just jump into acting head on, he decided to take it seriously and studied acting, scene studies and speech with some of the best coaches in NYC and LA. He landed some guests roles on sitcoms and soaps before Aaron Spelling cast him as a lead on “Pacific Palasides” on FOX in 1998, a series that didn’t last. After that he landed another series called “18 Wheels of Justice”, which aired from 2000-2001 on cable. He did a few film appearances and stepped away from acting in 2005 and started working in the world of fitness.

Lucky was lucky in the genetic lottery and living a charmed life. He is now in his 60s.

“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed blasted the jurors who convicted her of manslaughter charges in recorded jail phone conversations as “idiots” and “a--holes” and complained that they took only two hours to deliberate, according to a recent filing by prosecutors.

Those crude comments by Gutierrez-Reed were among the revelations made by prosecutors ahead of her sentencing on Monday. Gutierrez-Reed also said she wants Alec Baldwin, who was handling the gun that fired the fatal shot on the movie set in 2021, to go to jail, too, and that she won’t testify at his upcoming criminal trial if subpoenaed.

Prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis contend these comments show why Gutierrez-Reed should not receive a conditional discharge, which is what her lawyers are seeking.

John Wayne Bobbitt was forced to have his toes amputated more than 30 years after his wife cut off his genitalia in 1993.

John, 57, revealed to The Sun on April 13 that his toes were amputated due to toxic peripheral polyneuropathy. The condition was caused by his stint at the military base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina during his time as a Marine in the ‘80s. At the time, the camp’s water supply was severely contaminated and has led to cancer and other ailments in people who spent time there.

John also said that the effects of the contaminated water likely led to the incident that ended in his penis being cut off by his ​then-wife, Lorena Bobbitt.

"I wasn't behaving the way I should have," John said. "Maybe I would have made better decisions if my cognitive functioning wasn't distorted by the chemicals."

Grisham recalled how “internally, people in the West Wing were nervous of what us in the East Wing would be doing.”

Grisham served as chief of staff and press secretary to Melania Trump. She later became the Trump White House press secretary and then communications director.

“I recall one time the former president calling me from Air Force One to basically see how angry she was and to see if we were putting any statements out because we never checked with the West Wing if we were going to say anything, so he definitely was worried,” she explained. “The West Wing was constantly checking in with me.”

“When I said we are not going to the State of the Union or she will just meet him on Air Force One, I stopped there and they all knew in the West Wing not to push further or ask her to do any more than that.”

When 19-year-old Sade Robinson didn’t show up for her shift at a Wisconsin pizza restaurant on April 2, her co-workers immediately suspected something was wrong.

The evening before, Robinson had planned a first date with Maxwell Anderson, 33, at a local seafood restaurant, according to a criminal complaint against Anderson. He is now facing charges of homicide, mutilation of a corpse, and arson in connection with Robinson’s death.

Walt Disney Studios 1990's remake of the 1961 Hayley Mills romantic comedy classic was an instant hit. The remake follows two girls who discover they are twins separated at birth and work to reunite their transatlantic parents.

The film was the last of the Charles Shyer/Nancy Meyers partnership which saw a series of highly successful films such as Private Benjamin, Baby Boom, and Father of the Bride Part I & II.

Lindsay Lohan, in her first feature film, perfectly plays the twin girls. Dennis Quaid is the California vineyard owning Dad, while Natasha Richardson is the elegant London-based Mother. The rest of the cast include Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, Simon Kunz, Polly Holliday, Joanna Barnes, Maggie Wheeler, and Sir Ronnie Stevens.

I watched The Departed last night for the first time in ages. What great movie displaying the cat-and-mouse game between the Boston PD and the Boston Mafia. Filmed on location in Beantown, this was the film that finally won Martin Scorsese the Academy Award.

Mine was an old series called Fraternity Memoirs about a guy from Brooklyn who goes away to college and falls for his preppy frat brother while trying to deny the fact that he's gay. It's positioned as a true story, but was hot enough to actually develop a Yahoo group to discuss it.

Current favorite is called Little White Pills.

My best friend is straight and I have known him and his family for years. His only daughter is getting married and the family doesn't have much money and lots of bills. They really cannot afford a wedding, nor can the groom's family. As well as giving the newlyweds a generous monetary gift, I would like to give my friend as gift to help pay for the wedding, but am not sure how much would be appropriate. I am not rich, but would love to see their family have a lovely event. How much would be appropriate for a wedding gift and a gift for my friend?

It's not the paradise it's advertised to be.

I didn't know she was still alive.

I've always been fascinated by stories of people who vanished. Charlene Downes was a 14 year old girl who disappeared in Blackpool in 2003. She was being sexually trafficked by her own parents and traded sexual favors with local shop owners in exchange for cigarettes, food, and cash. Charlene was known to blackmail several of her contacts. I think she threatened to expose the wrong person and he killed her.

I moved to an affluent suburb that is right outside a major metropolitan area in 2021. I joined NextDoor, mainly looking for recommendations for local services, like handymen and whatnot. At the time, about 90% of the posts were some variation of, "OMG, we are so lucky to live here!" It is a place of great natural beauty, coastal features, a mountain, hiking trails, you name it.

In the last year the discourse has devolved into people going off on each other. There are numerous complaints about entitled teens on e-bikes terrorizing seniors, the same teens stealing from the local Safeway and ruining the trails. Then there are endless threads about irresponsible dog walkers losing control of their dogs who then go on to attack small dogs.

I never fucking post on NextDoor because these people all seem insane to me. What is ND like where you live?

[quote]#breakingnew 🚨🚨Former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorne who was tailgating me, just rear ended a FL State Trooper‼️ Im SHOOK 🤯😡😳 I was driving on i75S towards Miami in the left lane and this black tinted sports car was tailgating me relentlessly. I accelerated ahead and moved to the right lane in front of a tractor trailer to let the car by. 5 mins later the highway comes to a complete stop, I swerve to the side so no one rear ends me and slow to a halt. Suddenly the car door opens and a man in a wheelchair rolls out. At the same moment I have to navigate around his car and I look ahead to see the officer exiting from his rear ended vehicle holding his neck in the left lane as well. I pulled over to the right shoulder lane and stopped to ask if everyone was ok and to offer assistance. I couldnt believe my eyes. It occured to me that former CONGRESSMAN CAWTHORNE from NC was the black CAR that stormed by me in an angry road rage tantrum. I spoke to the cop to see if he was ok as he was quite stunned & kept reaching for his neck. He said he was ok, asked if I was a witness, (I wasnt, I must have been 30 seconds behind) and I gave them water as i didnt know what else to do after he thanked me for stopping.

[quote]As I drove away & replayed the surreal scene in my head I realized it was the same car who was erratically & aggressively driving behind & then around me. Unbelievably scary & upsetting to see 🥺

[quote]Ahead of the 2024 Mount Everest season, Nepal has announced a new requirement that all climbers must rent and use tracking chips on their journey. Reputed companies were already using them but now it’s been mandatory for all climbers. It will cut down search and rescue time in the event of an accident. Climbers will pay $10-15 apiece for the chips, which will be sewn into their jackets. Once the climber returns, the chip will be removed, given back to the government, and saved for the next person.

[quote]Last year, Nepal gave out a record 478 climbing permits. Twelve climbers were confirmed to have died on the mountain, while another five remain officially missing.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of this franchise? I understood the appeal of the first one because it was so surprising and unusual, but it's been going for more than half a century now.

I recall seeing him in GQ magazine (and on the cover) and finding his eyes extremely beautiful! He had such a beautiful face.

Most images of him seem lost and not much info exists about him, but he was a model who worked with all the biggest brands and covered numerous magazines in the mid-late 80s and some in the 90s. He now lives in Idaho and lives a quiet life.

Everyone who has ever worked with him has had nothing but amazing things to say about him. He is supposedly a kind person and caring.

Has there ever been a more unfortunate near-name duplication in Hollywood?

Police in Wisconsin say a teenage boy may be living in the wilderness as a survivalist after disappearing from his family’s home last month.

James Yoblonski, 13, was reported missing on the morning of June 12, according to Sauk County Sheriff Chip Meister.

Family and authorities believe James may be living “off the grid,”said Sauk County Lieutenant Steven Schram, according to The Wisconsin State Journal.

The teen’s father told police that his son “had taken a family vehicle,” which was found by a deputy about an hour after the report was made, the sheriff said. James may also have taken a firearm with him, per the Journal’s report.

"He's a smart kid," James' father Bill Yoblonski told ABC affiliate WKOW. "This is uncalled for, to do something like this and not to talk to anybody about it."

Much of the search has been focused on the area west of Devil's Lake State Park near U.S. Highway 12, according to the Journal.

Crews began searching an area near U.S. Highway 12 and the Sauk Hill after authorities pinged James’ cell phone, Meister said. But the teen still has yet to be found.

During the search, deputies found “property belonging to James” at what the sheriff described as “a makeshift campsite.” Crews have located at least two different campsites that may have been set up by James, according to WKOW.

Authorities believe James “is acting with intention,” Schram said, per the Journal. They also believe James had “two woodland survival manuals” in his possession when he disappeared.

James' father told WKOW that he also bought his son “some off-grid books,” one of which he seemingly took when he disappeared from his Reedsburg home.

"I hope he knows that we love him and we just want him home and safe," he added. "He's not in trouble, I just want him home."

Authorities are exploring “all avenues” as the search continues for James, according to a second statement from Meister, released July 7.

Anyone with information about James’ whereabouts is asked to contact the Sauk County Sheriff's Office at (608) 356-4895.

[quote] “Christian nationalism” is not the liberal version of the slur “woke.” It’s more like the term “fascist.” Not only does it describe something very real, but something that remains a very present threat, one that is overrunning Oklahoma politics, and potentially the rest of the country.

[quote] ...We define it as an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular kind of “Christianity.” I use “Christianity” in quotes there because the Christianity involved isn’t theological; it’s ethno-cultural. It’s “Christianity” as code, shorthand for “people like us,” and that usually means “Anglo European ethnicity, born in the USA, politically conservative.” Christian nationalism is an ideology that envisions that group as America’s founders and rightful leaders. It seeks to institutionalize their privilege politically.

EXCLUSIVE: Don Johnson is set to star opposite Joshua Jackson in Dr. Odyssey, a new ABC drama series from Ryan Murphy, which is targeting a fall launch. It hails from 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.

As is the case with any Ryan Murphy series, no details about the premise are being revealed. As the title suggests, Dr. Odyssey is believed to be a medical procedural. According to sources, it is set on a cruise ship.

Details about Johnson’s character are being kept under wraps.

Dr. Odyssey is written and executive produced by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. Paris Barclay is directing and executive producing. Eric Paquette, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson and Nissa Diederich also executive produce alongside Jackson.

Johnson is known for his roles as Det. Sonny Crockett on the classic 1980s NBC series Miami Vice and as the title character in the 1996 CBS series Nash Bridges, which he also reprised in the 2021 Nash Bridges movie for USA. Recent credits include the Emmy-winning HBO limited series Watchmen, Rian Johnson’s Knives Out and the Book Club feature franchise. He has coming up Book Club 2: The Next Chapter and Rebel Ridge. Johnson is repped by CAA and Laird & Sobel.

Will he make a music comeback?

For the past month or so, actress Joan Collins, who turns 91 in May, has been hinting at a 'big secret' she would reveal when the time was right. Apparently, this week was the right time as the actress announced she is joining the cast of the new film "Murder Between Friends". It's a new film being produced by Jacob Young (a former daytime soap opera star). The film was written by Mark Rozzano, who will be producing the project as well. According to the IMDB listing for the film, Young is also directing alongside his friend, Trent Garrett.

She revealed on social media, “This was the #secret I posted about several weeks ago! Shooting #murderbetweenfriends with this fabulous #castandcrew.” She included a cast photo, naming everyone in the cast - mostly made up of former soap stars.

Not sure how well known this is outside our little enclave but PTown is well and truly screwed for the summer.

For several years now the number of rental units available to low and middle income workers, both on a year round or seasonal basis, has been dropping quickly, as building owners can make more money renting these units out as Air B and Bs then as long term housing

most year round workers in provincetown dont have year round housing, due to this. They get winter housing from october-april (which is easier to find) then need to find summer housing from May-september. Every year this becomes rarer. And this year it seems weve reached some kind of tipping point. Massive numbers of long term residents, local personalities, people essential to making the town work on season, are without someplace to stay,

the town made some gestures to build long term affordable and middle income housing but mvoeemnt on developing has been slow and these projects won't go forward until 2025 earliest.

Meanwhile we currently have over year round 130 workers with no place to go when their winter housing ends.

Then ON TOP of this, the town relies heavily on Bulgarian sudents on J1 visas to do jobs no one else will in the summer. However as the result of a dispute last summer between two rival businesses who were illegally employing the bulgarians as pedicab drivers, the state department was called, adn now no J1 visas are being issued for Provincetown for summer 2024.

The season is fast approaching and there will be no one to work here. every buisiness will be hopelessly understaffed.

This is an economic disaster but its also a cultural one

If you are someone who thinks of ptown as an artists colony or someplace normal people can go to to find freedom, please disabuse yourself of that idea.

every year the we loose more artists. This isnt a place for freaks and wierdos and misfits and creative souls. Its fro the very very rich and those who suck up to them.

Its really sad.

Does anyone know anything about the new documentary on Merchant Ivory? I’m wondering if it’s any good.

“I’m in love,” Bertinelli, 63, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again."

I was recently describing to a friend this movie, with Scott Baio and Jodie Foster, to a friend and he almost didn't believe it was a real film. It's a musical (songs and lyrics by Paul Williams!) set in the Roaring Twenties about gangsters, and children play the adult parts. But the songs are all dubbed over by adults, and none of the adult singing voices sound anything like the children's speaking voices. An instead of shooting bullets, their guns shoot marshmallow fluff.

It's apparently a cult favorite in the UK, but it was a huge flop in the US. And deservedly so: it's not in the least bit funny or interesting. It's just kind of busy, although it's worth seeing as a curio.

Here's the big number Jodie lipsyncs, "My name is Tallulah."

Arthur Lynch has been discussed here before as a possible closeted NFL player as well as a very outspoken liberal. He was injured and his NFL career cut short, but he ended up doing a stint in the military as an officer and seemed poised for a political career. And then he just disappeared. I looked him up today and found out he was arrested for felony sexual assault recently and it seems that the news reports make an extra effort to not mention the sexuality of the presumed victim. Does anybody have any info?

I’m obsessed with this movie. The critics are being very lukewarm with it, and while I understand some of their frustrations I think they’re ultimately being harsh. I do agree with the “Cruel Intentions” meets “Talented Mr. Ripley” chatter though. But it isn’t a copy. It is very much its own movie and story.

Jacob Elordi is delightful as Felix, and Rosamund Pike is phenomenal as Elspeth. Richard E. Grant isn’t given much to do but the little he is given, HE SHINES! I found the scene where they find Felix sad.

Barry Keoghan is a great actor but sadly the twist at the end isn’t even a twist because you know that’s the case beforehand because he plays the character in such a dark way. He failed, ultimately, in my opinion, and that’s the critics biggest gripe, that the twist is too predictable. He makes it too obvious.

I loved loved loved the film and Jacob Elordi is so charming in this. Only Our Dear Paul could rival so much charm, charisma and beauty.

She blames it all on Boris Johnson's dog, who was surely as ill-maintained as Boris' hair. Her book, which is evidently a sloppy blend of foreign affairs and catty juvenile gossip, describes her amusement at having to share a kitchen with fellow cabinet member Dominic Raab.

She also reveals in the book that her husband once predicted that her run for the top job would "end in tears."

Valerie Bertinelli is in the middle of her unexpected renaissance at the age of 63. After a contentious divorce from her second husband, Tom Vitale, the actress is teasing that she has a new man in her life — and it’s a love she didn’t see coming!

“I’m in love,” Bertinelli told People. “It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant, I was never falling in love again.” The TV star believed the dating and ageist stereotypes that she was not going to have a relationship in this season of life, but Cupid has struck her again. “I was supposed to die with my six cats and my dog, and very happily live the rest of my years alone — I’m good alone,” she laughed.

She was likely reacting to the end of her 10-year marriage to Vitale. In 2021, the former couple went their separate ways until they negotiated their divorce in 2022. He tried to challenge their prenuptial agreement while asking for $50,000 monthly in spousal support and around $200,000 in legal fees.

She swore to Hoda Kotb on the Today show that she was done with falling in love. “I am gonna be more than happy to be happily divorced and spend the rest of my life alone,” she claimed in 2022. “I’ll be happy that way. Because of the challenges that I’m going through right now, because divorce sucks. I can’t imagine ever trusting anyone again to let into my life. So I have some trust issues that I’m sure I’m going to have to get past.” Well, look who is singing a different tune just two years later!

Bertinelli is keeping his name a secret for now, and that’s probably a good thing since it seems early in their relationship. But she is getting butterflies just thinking about him. “My belly is flip-flopping. This was not supposed to happen,” she admitted. The former One Day at a Time star believes that getting “intentional about [her] healing” put her on the path toward love. She learned to love herself before letting another person into her life.

“That meant a lot of walks with [my dog] Luna, a lot of therapy sessions, a lot of learning that I deserve to feel good,” she said. Bertinelli teased the identity of her romantic partner which should certainly send the internet detectives into overdrive. He’s an East Coast-based writer whom she platonically connected with a few years ago. The phone calls began earlier this year, and now, it’s taken a romantic twist. (It sounds like a Hallmark movie in the making.) She’s telling everyone that this blossoming romance feels “incredibly right.”

It’s only a matter of time before this secret dynamic duo makes their red-carpet couple debut, but Bertinelli has advice for anyone looking for love because it worked for her. “I found joy first,” she shared, “and then a man entered my life.” That sounds like the perfect recipe for romance!

Looks as if not.

BTW, Lumberton? Isn't that the town where Blue Velvet took place?

He was an American blues musician and songwriter originally born on a plantation in 1911, Mississippi. He was a Mediocre guitar player, and by mediocre, he wasn’t very good at all. People of the time even said he wasn’t very good but he tried but never could perfect it (it takes years of work to get great usually). One day he took his guitar and went to the crossroad somewhere outside of Clarksdale. While spending the night at the crossroads, a man came out of nowhere and approached him. Robert claims to have sold his soul to the devil that night, and after doing so handed his guitar to the man who tuned his guitar and sent him away. Robert went back home and the next day he suddenly was an expert player, with people claiming how one day he could barely play then the next he was suddenly a pro.

He became one of the most successful and known musicians of the time, and recorded a few songs, even referencing himself selling his soul at the crossroads in at least one song. Even pros said it would have taken YEARS to accomplish all he did in one night suddenly. Within a few months he would suddenly die at the age of 27 (the 27 club). No autopsy was ever held and his birth certificate never stated a cause of death.

It’s all bizarre and his legend is truly creepy to me. Always has been. There are still people who visit the crossroad he allegedly went to.

Is the coating in chicken fried steak just like the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices in terms of flavour, or is it more plan like a schnitzel?

Question - is it appropriate to rapidly, and dramatically, change one’s hair style (length, color, concentration) in a short period of time.

I’m perplexed by how fashion pundits are applauding Zendaya’s numerous wig changes during the “Challengers” promo tour. I think she looks like an idiot showing up to each premiere event with new wigs. Shouldn’t she try to keep her look consistent? I don’t recall Julia Roberts or Margot Robbie changing wigs, extensions, or color as often as they would change their panties. Isn’t this the league Zendaya is aiming to join?

I was just checking out a news story about 2 runaway 14 yo twins found and the though the faces were blurred out the two of them had huge tits and were "roomy through the hips" and a good 135 lbs. They looked like 35 year olds who'd popped out few kids out.

When I was14 the girls weighed about 75 to 80 and were quite slim and petite. Hell, us guys were too.

Growth hormones?

Gambling addiction? Marrying the wrong person? Bad plastic surgery?

What things make people spiral put of control?

She is woman, hear her roar!

I need a getaway, but can only be away for seven to nine days.

I've been to London many times and want to see somewhere different.

TIA

I did not get one.

Another year with the penguins!

"Why that's bad news for Biden ..."

Also starring Noah Jupe and Théodore Pellerin.

[quote]Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” the show explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin’s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when – as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance – he embarks on a secret mission to France.

Out April 12.

I’m sitting in the jury room in Lower Manhattan—that stupid video about the virtue of jury service is on a loop—waiting for my number to be called. I wonder if I’ll do Chinese for lunch, or just go to Subway for a meatball. It’s really warm today. Oh, the cell service sucks here.

"A Gloria Jean's young male flamboyant worker uttered that I was a fat bitch when I ordered something for takeaway. Was superrr weird"

Which one of you hissed at a heifer?

Easier and more inclusive! Who would've thunk it?

Question: Why isn't Jon Hein on the wrap up show anymore?

Has anyone been watching this? This was such a natural book to dramatize, given the fun idea of the central character being imprisoned in the enormous luxury hotel with all kinds of secret rooms and passages in it.

I always enjoy seeing Ewan McGregor, who is no longer as beautiful as he was when he was younger but remains appealingly photogenic. It's got a great supporting cast, and most of them have not all appeared before either on The Crown or Game of Thrones (unlike so many fine British actors), so it's fun seeing good British performers who are most of them new to me (other than McGregor).
