Survivors of Tulsa Race Massacre call on President Biden to open investigation into 1921 attack
Two survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre are calling on President Joe Biden to open an investigation into the deadly attack following the Oklahoma Supreme Court decision last month to dismiss the survivors’ lawsuit that sought reparations. Lessie Benningfield Randle, 109, and Viola Ford Fletcher, 110, made a plea to the Biden administration on Tuesday to invoke the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, which allows for cold cases of violent crimes against Black people committed before 1970 to be reopened and investigated. “We must face it, and we must give respect to our survivors and...
Salman Rushdie stabbing suspect rejects plea deal ahead of state trial
The New Jersey man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie on stage at a speaking event in 2022 rejected a plea deal that involved state and potential federal charges, attorneys said Tuesday. Rushdie was stabbed multiple times on stage at the Chautauqua Institution in southwestern New York in August 2022 in what prosecutors said was a "preplanned" attack. Hadi Matar was charged with second-degree attempted murder and assault in connection with the attack. He has pleaded not guilty. During a court appearance in Chautauqua County on Tuesday, Matar declined the plea deal that covered both state and any potential federal charges, the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office said.
Matt Damon, Ben Affleck team up with 'The Grey' director Joe Carnahan for crime thriller 'RIP'
Director Joe Carnahan, who came to fame with the 2002 gritty crime drama Narc, is reteaming with his Smokin' Aces supporting player Ben Affleck and Ben's longtime friend and fellow Oscar winner Matt Damon for a crime thriller called RIP. The film is being released through Damon and Affleck's profit-sharing production shingle Artists Equity, according to Deadline. Carnahan, who also directed the acclaimed 2012 thriller The Grey with Liam Neeson, spoofed the trade's story in his Instagram confirmation of the news, saying, "The original [headline] of this article, before my PR intervened was: 'HANDSOME OSCAR-WINNING MOVIE STARS TEAM WITH RAPIDLY AGING, DOLL-HAIRED JACK BLACK CLONE,'" referring to his own picture next to more camera-ready shots of Damon and Affleck.
Alan Ritchson "dropping weight," losing "pearly whites" for role in 'Motor City'
Alan Ritchson came to fame as the hulking title character in the Prime Video hit Reacher, but he's apparently doing some downsizing. The actor seemed to (impossibly) bulk up even more for his role as "mad dog" WWII hero Anders Lassen in the buzzy action movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, but according to his Instagram, he'll be looking different in his next project. "How do you completely transform when you only have a few days to transition from Reacher to your next role in period action piece extraordinaire, #MotorCity? You bring out the big guns," Ritchson captioned a video of his prep work. That ironically includes shedding some of his own big guns, and he thanked intermittent fasting superstar Thomas DeLauer for helping him "drop weight fast."
Judge in Trump's criminal hush money case postpones sentencing to Sept. 18
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money case in New York has postponed sentencing to Sept. 18, according to a letter sent to the parties. The move came after the Manhattan district attorney's office said earlier Tuesday it would not oppose Trump's request to file a motion arguing that his hush money conviction should be tossed based on Monday's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. "Although we believe defendant's arguments to be without merit, we do not oppose his request for leave to file and his putative request to adjourn sentencing pending determination of his motion," assistant district attorney Josh Steinglass wrote in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan. On Monday, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling that Trump has some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election, Trump's attorneys sent a letter to Judge Merchan asking to him to "set aside the jury's verdict" in his hush money case.
Lupita Nyong'o found her 'Quiet Place' character's struggles "therapeutic" after loss of Chadwick Boseman
Lupita Nyong'o is now in theaters in the hit prequel thriller A Quiet Place: Day One, and she found portraying her character, Sam, had a "therapeutic" effect on her in light of the unexpected loss to cancer of her Black Panther co-star and friend Chadwick Boseman in 2020. Sam is being treated for cancer, but in the midst of her fight for her life, a new struggle emerges: aliens who hunt by sound invade New York City. Nyong'o tells People it was "scary to have to go there" considering her character's battle with cancer and Boseman's. Sam is "really facing their mortality, even before this apocalypse takes place, and life is slipping between her fingers," she explains. "That was daunting to have to go there, psychologically and emotionally," she says.
