Ginger Diana? Betting hots up on Britain's royal baby
London — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan's baby will be a girl called Diana born at home early next month -- or so say the odds being offered by British bookmakers.As royal watchers await the couple's first baby, punters are having a flutter on its gender, whether it will have Harry's ginger hair, when it will be born, and, of course, the name.It should be an even chance, but betting firms are convinced the baby, who will be seventh in line to the throne, will be a girl.Bookmakers William Hill priced the odds on a girl as low as 2/5, which means betting £5 to win £2 implying a five in seven chance of it being the correct outcome.But punters have still been piling on big money, forcing the chain to suspend taking bets on April 9."In a normal market, that means people...

Hollywood school to keep Michael Jackson's name on auditorium
Los Angeles — Michael Jackson's elementary school in Hollywood, California will keep his name on its auditorium despite the damaging allegations of pedophilia made against the late pop superstar in a widely viewed documentary.Parents and staff members of Gardner Street Elementary School, which Jackson attended in 1969, have voted to leave his name in place after an impassioned debate, school officials announced Saturday."A majority of those who participated voted to maintain the current name as the Michael Jackson Auditorium," said a statement from the school district.The future "king of pop" attended the school for several months at the age of 11; his family moved away, and he was home-schooled, following the breakout success of the Jackson Five's first...

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift drops peppy song and pastel-drenched video
New York, — After a bout of social media teasing pop star Taylor Swift made good on a vow to drop new music, releasing early Friday the rainbow-colored video for her latest single, "ME!"The chipper track the 29-year-old superstar says celebrates individuality is a sharp departure from her previous album and much harsher lead single and video for "Look What You Made Me Do," which went heavy on black and white and saw her grapple with her very public celebrity dramas."'Me!' is a song about embracing your individuality and really celebrating it and owning it," Swift told ABC late Thursday, where she made a brief appearance at the National Football League draft."With a pop song, we have the ability to get a melody stuck in people's heads,"...

Legendary director Kubrick honored with London show
London — Iconic props from "The Shining" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" that detail the single-minded perfectionism of US filmmaker Stanley Kubrick are among the highlights of a new London show dedicated to the late artist.Visitors can discover Kubrick's universe and special relationship with Britain through some 700 objects, film clips and interviews, which are arranged according to the 13 films he made over a 50-year career.The show coincides with the 20th anniversary of Kubrick's death, and is somewhat of a homecoming for the director, who moved to Britain in the early 1960s, shooting classics "Lolita" (1962), 2001: "The Space Odyssey" (1968), "Dr. Strangelove" (1964) and "Full Metal Jacket" (1987).The exhibition's...

Harvey Weinstein trial postponed to September
New York — The sexual assault trial of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein will take place on September 9, three months later than expected, a New York judge said Friday.Weinstein -- a catalyst for the #MeToo anti-harassment movement-- has been charged over the alleged assaults of two women and faces life in prison if he is convicted at the trial, which could last for five weeks.One of the 67-year-old's lawyers, Jose Baez, welcomed the postponement, saying: "This is going to give us ample opportunity to dig into the case, talk to those people who are coming forward and telling us about other matters that are very helpful to Mr Weinstein's case."The delay was announced after a four-hour closed-door hearing to decide whether women other than the two accusers...

Daniel Craig makes his final outing as James Bond
LONDON — Daniel Craig, whose final outing as 007 was unveiled on Thursday, is the longest-serving James Bond — but perhaps not always the most enthusiastic.The 51-year-old’s fifth movie as the British super spy is due for release early next year, 14 years after 2006’s “Casino Royale”.There were initially doubts about the casting of the British actor — not least the fact he was blond.But he brought both a new ruthlessness and an emotional vulnerability to the character that audiences have warmed to — and have proved box office gold.For a while, it seemed that 2015’s “Spectre” would be his last outing as Ian Fleming’s super cool intelligence agent.Exhausted by a grueling shoot, he said he would “rather slash my wrists” than be Bond again.The actor, who has...

Picture perfect — Congo ranger’s gorilla selfie goes viral
KINSHASA — Standing casually and turning their heads to stare straight at the camera, Ndakazi and Ndeze look like any cool selfie pros — only these posers are gorillas.The picture showing the two orphaned female gorillas posing like humans was taken in Democratic Republic of Congo’s Virunga National Park and has gone viral since it was published on the park’s Instagram and Facebook pages this week.Mathieu Shamavu, Virunga ranger and caretaker at the park’s Senkwekwe Center for Orphaned Mountain Gorillas, said he was out walking with Ndakazi and Ndeze when he spotted a photo opportunity.“We let them loose so they are at ease.

Belgium's Dardenne brothers seek Cannes fest immortality
Brussels — Belgium's Dardenne brothers are already Cannes Film Festival legends, with two Palme d'Or prizes under their belt, and they're well aware the bar is very high to win the top prize an unprecedented third time.After "Rosetta" in 1999 and "L'Enfant" in 2005, "we're starting with a serious handicap," joked Jean-Pierre Dardenne in an interview with AFP in Brussels on Tuesday, as the two filmmakers prepare to return to the famed Croisette next month.For a film, "Cannes can be a loudspeaker or the Terminator," he said, referring to a bad reception by Cannes' notoriously picky journalists and critics whose opinions can make or break a movie.While refusing details on their eighth selection for the two-week festival, the...

Justin Trudeau
D'oh Canada! Trudeau to be featured in The Simpsons
Ottawa — The Simpsons are returning to Canada in an upcoming episode that will air on Sunday for a storyline that will feature Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.A spokeswoman for the prime minister told AFP that he had been invited to appear as himself on the show, but "respectfully declined their offer."Instead, Canadian journalist Lucas Meyer, who does a pretty accurate Trudeau voice impersonation, was given the gig after sending the producers a video clip.Meyer told public broadcaster CBC it was a "quite surreal" opportunity. He said he appears as Trudeau in only two scenes, and one might have been cut. "It's a handful of lines."According to Canadian media, a subplot of the episode involves daughter Lisa Simpson being granted asylum in Canada during a...
