Wallenda siblings complete daunting Times Square tightrope stunt
New York — Siblings from a famed circus family - the Flying Wallendas - walked a wire strung 25 stories over New York's Times Square Sunday, in a hair-raising balancing act performed across five city blocks."If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere -- so let's make it in New York," Nik Wallenda, 40, told his sister Lijana before they began the fearsome feat.The undertaking, which was broadcast live, saw the duo start the wire walk on opposite sides, slowly moving towards each other holding balancing poles as a throng of onlookers gawked from below.When the siblings met, Lijana sat on the 396-meter (1300-foot) wire strung between skyscrapers so her brother could step over her, before standing back up and finishing the walk.Tensions were running...

'Toy Story 4' dominates with $118 million debut
LOS ANGELES — Disney's domination over the box office only seemed to strengthen this weekend as "Toy Story 4" easily topped box office charts.The fourth entry in Pixar's animated series collected $118 million in ticket sales when it debuted in 4,575 North American theaters. While that haul is significantly below expectations, which anticipated a start near $140 million, it's hardly a disappointment for the critically acclaimed movie.Despite glowing reviews, box office prognosticators suggest that "Toy Story 4" underperformed because audiences were wary about the need for another chapter after "Toy Story 3" wrapped up the series so perfectly. The domestic debut is only a slight jump on that entry, which bowed nearly a decade ago with $110 million....

Rap superstar Cardi B indicted over strip club brawl
New York — A grand jury has indicted Cardi B over her alleged involvement in a New York strip club brawl, a spokeswoman for Queens prosecutors said Friday, with court documents showing 14 new counts including two felonies against the rap superstar.Initially facing only misdemeanor charges over the 2018 incident, the Bronx rapper in April had rejected a plea deal from the Queens district attorney's office.That offer would have given the 26-year-old Grammy winner conditional discharge if she pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor.The new charges include two felony counts of attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, according to the case docket.The felony classification would not spell jail time, according to New York state law, but could result in probation that could...

We can't wait to see you at Soldier Field later today," the iconic British band posted on social media.Fan fears flared in April when the Stones, which formed in 1962, announced the postponement of a string of tour dates so the flamboyant Jagger, 75, could receive medical treatment.Shortly thereafter, doctors performed a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement, allowing the artist...
