Madonna calls NYT 'one of the founding fathers of the patriarchy'
WASHINGTON — Pop icon Madonna said she felt "raped" by an in-depth profile of her in The New York Times, calling the newspaper "one of the founding fathers of the patriarchy."The New York Times article entitled "Madonna at Sixty" focused too much on her age, Madonna said, arguing it would not have done so were she a man."The journalist who wrote this article spent days and hours and months with me and was invited into a world which many people don't get to see, but chose to focus on trivial and superficial matters such as the ethnicity of my stand in or the fabric of my curtains and never ending comments about my age which would never have been mentioned had I been a MAN!" Madonna said on her Instagram account."Im sorry i spent 5 minutes...

T. rex finds a dangerous meal as Smithsonian dinosaur hall reopens
WASHINGTON — A dramatic scene from the twilight of the age of dinosaurs — a T. rex feasting upon a horned plant-eater named Triceratops — will greet visitors when an ambitious new fossil hall opens on Saturday at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Construction of the hall at the federally administered Washington museum cost $110 million: $70 in public funds and $40 million in private funds. It replaces a fossil hall that was last renovated in 1981 and closed in 2014, bringing up-to-date scientific information to an exhibit that had become out-of-date at one of the world's leading natural history museums. The Tyrannosaurus rex, found in Montana in 1988 by amateur fossil hunter Kathy Wankel, measures 38 feet long (11.5 meters). The Triceratops,...

Pop singer Shakira faces tax fraud accusation in Spanish court
BARCELONA, Spain, — Colombian singer Shakira appeared in a Spanish court on Thursday to answer to tax fraud charges, with prosecutors accusing her of failing to pay up to 14.5 million euros ($16.29 million) in tax on income earned between 2012 and 2014.

The 42-year-old singer and the FC Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué have been together since 2011 and they have two children. Shakira...
