Susan Sarandon led an outpouring of tributes this week for Tim Curry, her co-star in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," who has died at age 80, the BBC reports.

Curry became a cult icon playing the transvestite mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 film, a role that turned midnight screenings into a rite of passage for generations of theater kids and misfits alike. Beyond Rocky Horror, he built a long career on stage and screen, known for a booming voice and a gift for gleeful villainy.

According to the BBC, tributes have poured in from across stage and screen since news of his death broke, with performers and collaborators remembering both his talent and his generosity as a colleague. The BBC's report does not detail the cause of death.

Curry's death closes out a career that spanned decades and mediums — from Broadway to blockbuster family films — but it's the sight of him in Frank-N-Furter's platform heels that fans are returning to this week, sharing clips and memories online as the tributes continue to arrive.

We're keeping this one simple because that's what the source allows: a death confirmed, a co-star's tribute, and a legacy fans are right to mourn. If more details on services or cause of death emerge from confirmed sources, we'll follow up.

Andrew and Tristan Tate were back before a federal judge in Miami this week, asking to be released on bond while they continue fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, according to ABC News.

The brothers, both dual US-UK citizens, are wanted in Britain to face charges of rape and sex trafficking. They are currently held at a Miami detention center pending the outcome of the extradition proceedings, and their legal team is pushing for their release while that fight plays out in court.

ABC News reports the judge will decide whether to free the pair from custody as the case moves forward. No ruling has been announced yet, and the underlying UK charges — which the Tates have long denied — have not been tried in any court.

The Tate brothers, who built a massive online following through combative commentary and self-styled "success" content, have faced legal scrutiny on multiple continents in recent years, including a separate criminal case in Romania. This latest hearing concerns only the narrower question of bond during extradition proceedings, not guilt or innocence on the underlying allegations.

We'll update this story once the judge issues a decision. As always: the charges are allegations, not convictions, and we'll say so plainly until a court says otherwise.

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, her family announced Wednesday, closing the book on a six-decade career that carried a coal miner's daughter from the Great Smoky Mountains to the top of American music.

No cause of death was disclosed in the family's announcement.

Tributes arrived fast. Elton John, Oprah Winfrey and Paul McCartney were among the first major names to publicly honor Parton, according to the BBC, which reported that condolences spanned "artists across musical genres, fans from all generations and politicians from all spectrum." Singer Darius Rucker told the BBC that "Dolly made everybody feel they were her friend" — a line that captured how personally fans took the news.

The shock reached Broadway. The cast of "9 to 5," the musical built on Parton's 1980 hit and film of the same name, was preparing to go onstage when word of her death broke, the BBC reported, describing gasps among the performers.

Mourners gathered at Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, and fans convened in Washington, D.C., to process the loss together, according to BBC interviews conducted at both locations. "I'm heartbroken," was a refrain the broadcaster heard repeated among those who came out.

Parton's own words, from a 1979 BBC interview resurfacing amid the tributes, offer a fitting coda. Reflecting on a childhood marked by rural poverty in Tennessee, she recalled: "We used flour for powder" — a detail she often returned to when explaining the grit behind her rhinestone-and-wig persona.

Full details on funeral arrangements had not been released as of Wednesday evening.

Enes Kanter Freedom came to Wintrust Arena on Sunday to watch basketball. He left in a viral controversy instead.

The former NBA center — now a self-described WNBA draft prospect — was ejected from the Chicago Sky–Indiana Fever game after a courtside confrontation with Fever guard Natasha Cloud. Freedom, who was wearing a shirt reading "woman, noun, adult human female," says the exchange began when he cheered a three-pointer from Sophie Cunningham. According to Freedom, Cloud responded by shouting vulgarities at him from the court.

Freedom posted videos of the incident to his own social media accounts afterward, giving his side of what happened. Arena security removed him from his courtside seat following the confrontation.

The episode has drawn attention less for the basketball than for what Freedom was wearing and saying — his shirt's slogan is widely understood as a statement in the ongoing debate over transgender participation in women's sports, a subject Freedom has been vocal about as he angles for a spot on a WNBA roster. Cloud has not, as of this writing, offered her own public account of the exchange, and we have only Freedom's version on record. We'll update if she responds.

Twenty years ago, at a lunch on Sydney's lower north shore, someone cracked a joke. On Monday, that joke became testimony in a courtroom.

Jason Morrison, the shock jock who often filled in for Alan Jones on 2GB, told the radio host's ongoing indecent assault and sexual touching trial that guests at the luncheon had joked Jones and a young male staffer — referred to in court as complainant C — "look like a great couple" as the two sat beside each other at the restaurant. Morrison described the remark as "sarcastic," and said the complainant appeared "stuck" next to Jones during the event.

The trial, now in its fourth week, centers on allegations against Jones, the longtime radio broadcaster once among Australia's most powerful media voices. Morrison's account is one piece of witness testimony being weighed by the court; the underlying allegations remain contested, and no verdict has been reached.

We are reporting only what has been said under oath in open court. Jones has not been convicted of any offense in this matter, and the trial is ongoing. We'll follow it to its conclusion.

For decades, the stretch of Martha's Vineyard coastline once walked by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis stayed exactly what it always was: private, quiet, and off-limits to almost everyone but the family.

That's changing. According to the New York Times, Caroline Kennedy — Jackie's daughter — and her family have sold more than 330 acres of the island's coastal land to conservation groups, opening what was long known as a private beach to public access for the first time.

The catch, per the report, is getting there. The land comes with caveats that mean reaching the shoreline still requires a genuine hike rather than a stroll off a parking lot, preserving some of the seclusion that made the property a refuge for the Kennedy family in the first place.

The move places a piece of one of America's most storied family estates into the hands of groups dedicated to keeping it undeveloped, rather than selling to private buyers — a choice that will likely be read as a deliberate statement about legacy as much as land use. The Times report does not specify a sale price or name the conservation organizations involved beyond describing the transaction broadly, and The American Times has not independently verified those additional details.

Martha's Vineyard has been Kennedy family territory since the 1960s, when Jackie began summering there after her husband's presidency, eventually building the Aquinnah estate that became a retreat from the public eye. That the family chose conservation over a private sale suggests the beach's next chapter will be measured less in real estate value and more in access — however hard-won — for the public who never got to walk it before.

Serena Williams isn't chasing another singles trophy this US Open. She's chasing something arguably more fun: a mixed doubles run alongside Carlos Alcaraz.

According to Al Jazeera, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion will not compete in singles at this year's tournament, but will pair with the young Spanish star — a multiple major winner in his own right — for mixed doubles. It's a pairing that instantly becomes one of the most-watched attractions on the grounds, mixing a legend of the sport's golden era with its current face.

The report also notes Williams could see even more court time in New York: she may team up with her older sister, Venus Williams, for women's doubles, reuniting a partnership that has combined for 14 Grand Slam doubles titles over two decades.

Neither Williams nor Alcaraz has publicly commented beyond what's been reported, and The American Times has not independently confirmed additional details of the arrangement, including scheduling or whether the pairing was Williams' idea or an invitation extended by tournament organizers. We'll update as more comes from Flushing Meadows.

For Williams, 43, who stepped back from full-time singles competition in 2022, exhibition-style doubles appearances have become a way to stay connected to the sport without the grind of a full tour schedule. For Alcaraz, it's a chance to share a court — and a marketing spotlight — with one of the most recognizable athletes of the last thirty years.

The spotlight finds child actors before they're old enough to understand what it costs. Experts interviewed by the BBC say that early fame — money, access, constant adult scrutiny, and drugs "at their fingertips" — puts young performers at an unusually elevated risk of substance abuse that can follow them for life.

The BBC's reporting doesn't name a single case but draws on expert testimony describing a pattern industry watchers have flagged for years: children thrust into adult-scale careers, often without the coping tools or support systems adults in the same jobs would have. The pressure, according to those experts, isn't just about the work itself — it's the isolation, the loss of a normal childhood, and the sudden proximity to substances and enablers that can come with money and status at a young age.

This is expert commentary, not a single celebrity's confession, and the BBC's piece is framed that way — a pattern flagged by professionals who work with young performers and addiction recovery, not a diagnosis of any specific star. We're naming that distinction because it matters: general risk factors are not the same as a confirmed case, and nothing here should be read as pointing to one particular child actor's story unless and until that's independently confirmed.

What is clear, per the reporting, is that Hollywood and the broader entertainment industry continue to wrestle with how — or whether — they protect their youngest employees from an environment built for adults. It's a conversation that resurfaces every time another young star's struggles become public, and one this desk will keep watching for named, sourced developments.

They gave up the palace balcony. Now Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are coming back to British soil — but not as working royals, and reportedly weighing what comes next for their public identity, according to the BBC.

Since stepping back from official duties, the couple has built a post-royal life in California around a mix of media deals, a lifestyle brand, and philanthropic ventures. The BBC reports that as they prepare to return to the UK, questions are swirling over what shape their public-facing work will take this time — whether that means leaning further into content and commerce, or recalibrating toward causes and advocacy.

What the BBC's reporting does not spell out is a confirmed itinerary, a specific announcement, or new business details — only that the couple is searching for a brand identity that "sticks," a framing the outlet uses to describe their ongoing balancing act between fame, privacy and commercial reinvention.

Harry and Meghan have spent recent years testing multiple lanes — Spotify and Netflix deals, Meghan's As Ever lifestyle line, and Harry's memoir and advocacy work through his Invictus Games Foundation. None of that reinvents itself overnight, and the BBC's piece is careful to frame this as an open question rather than a settled plan.

We'll flag it here plainly: this story is built on a single BBC report, and until there's a confirmed schedule or on-the-record comment from the couple's representatives, treat any specifics beyond "they're returning to the UK without royal duties" as speculation dressed up as insight.

They landed in Montecito with Netflix money, a Spotify deal and the kind of tabloid heat most studios would kill for. That was the pitch, anyway: Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as the royal family's answer to a Hollywood power couple.

According to a BBC Entertainment & Arts report, the reality has been more modest. The couple found some real showbusiness success in the years after leaving royal life — but their reign in Hollywood, as the BBC puts it, "proved short-lived."

The BBC report doesn't spell out every deal that faded or every project that didn't get a second season, and we won't pretend to know details it doesn't provide. What's clear from the reporting is a trajectory: a splashy arrival, genuine wins along the way, and then a cooling — the kind of arc familiar to plenty of famous transplants who've tried to turn celebrity into a sustainable entertainment business.

It's worth saying plainly what this story is and isn't. It isn't a blow-by-blow of contracts or box office. It's a single outlet's assessment of a couple's American chapter, and readers deserve to know that's the extent of what's been confirmed here. If more specifics on the Sussexes' current ventures emerge from verified sources, we'll follow up.

What hasn't changed is the appetite for the story itself. Six years after stepping back from royal duties, Harry and Meghan remain among the most-watched exports the British monarchy has ever produced — whether the cameras are rolling on a hit show or not.

Alina Habba wants everyone to put the popcorn down. The White House official publicly dismissed speculation that she could replace Karoline Leavitt as press secretary, according to Fox News — a rumor that had been lively enough to move real money on the Kalshi prediction market, where odds on the swap shifted dramatically before Habba's denial.

That a betting market was pricing in a White House personnel shake-up says something about how thin the line has gotten between palace intrigue and political theater in Washington these days. But the facts here are simple and sourced to one outlet: Habba said no, publicly, and the market moved.

We don't have detail on who started the speculation or why it caught fire, and Fox News' report doesn't spell that out either — so we're not going to invent a backstory. What's confirmed is the denial itself and its effect on the odds.

Leavitt remains in her post as far as this reporting shows. Nothing here suggests otherwise.

They're coming home — sort of. Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, plan to return to the United Kingdom with their two children for an extended stay beginning this fall, according to NPR News.

Don't expect a return to royal duties, though. The couple will not resume roles as working members of the royal family, the outlet reports — a distinction that matters after years of tabloid speculation about a full reconciliation with the House of Windsor.

Since stepping back from official royal life in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a base in Montecito, California, raising son Archie and daughter Lilibet largely out of the British press glare. A stretch of time back in the UK will inevitably reignite questions about the family's relationship with King Charles and Prince William — questions this desk won't answer with guesswork.

What we know, and only what we know: this is an extended visit, not a homecoming to the fold. Further details — where they'll stay, how long "extended" means, whether there will be any public engagements — haven't been confirmed, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Claire Lomas built her name on refusing to be grounded. The paralyzed marathon walker turned aviator was doing what she'd made her life's work — pushing past limits, on camera — when she died.

An inquest has heard that Lomas was flying an adapted microlight aircraft in Jordan when it crashed into a large rock, according to the BBC. She was filming for an Apple series at the time, the broadcaster reported. The inquest is examining the circumstances of the crash; further details of the proceedings, including findings on cause, were not included in the available reporting.

Lomas became a household name in Britain after she was paralyzed from the chest down in a 2007 horse-riding accident and later completed the London Marathon in a robotic exoskeleton, a feat that made her a symbol of grit for disability campaigners nationwide. She went on to become a pilot, adapting aircraft controls to fly hand-operated planes and microlights — pushing the same boundaries in the air that she'd pushed on the ground.

The BBC's report is, so far, the only detailed account of the inquest available to this desk. We don't yet know what caused the crash, what the inquest concluded, or when the Apple series she was filming might air. Those are questions worth answering, and we'll follow the inquest as more testimony emerges.

For now, what's confirmed is simple and hard: a woman who spent nearly two decades proving that a body written off by doctors could still climb, walk and fly, died doing exactly that.

A Sydney courtroom turned combative Tuesday as a man who says he was a young driver for broadcaster Alan Jones pushed back hard against defense questioning, telling Jones's barrister to "get real" during cross-examination.

According to The Guardian, the man — identified in court only as Complainant C — told the Downing Centre local court that Jones groomed him over the course of a decade at 2GB, allegedly resulting in the young man sending explicit texts to the broadcaster. C has previously told the court that as a young man, Jones allegedly touched his penis and kissed him.

Jones, once one of Australia's most powerful radio voices, has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching relating to six men. The trial is ongoing, and the outcome of the cross-examination — including how the defense's specific challenges to C's account were received by the court — was not fully detailed in available reporting.

This account rests on a single source, The Guardian's courtroom coverage; we have not independently verified the exchange and will update as further reporting, including from other outlets covering the trial, becomes available. As with any case still before the court, the charges remain allegations that Jones denies, and no verdict has been reached.

Nearly three decades after Tupac Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip, a courtroom finally heard opening arguments in the case — and the man in the defendant's chair is someone who once talked about the murder more than anyone.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is on trial in the 1996 killing of the rap icon, whose death has haunted hip-hop for thirty years without a conviction. According to NPR, a prosecutor told jurors that while few people connected to the case have been willing to discuss what happened that night, Davis is "the one person who has a hard time being silent" — a reference, reporting indicates, to Davis's own public statements and a memoir in which he described details of the shooting.

The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil, covering the opening statements, walked through the key arguments now before the court as the long-delayed trial formally got under way.

Both outlets note this is a case built as much on the defendant's own words as on physical evidence — an unusual dynamic prosecutors appear eager to use, and one the defense will have to answer directly as testimony proceeds. Neither report yet details the defense's opening strategy in full; we'll follow the trial and update as the evidentiary record grows.

Shakur was 25 when he was shot in a drive-by shooting near the Las Vegas Strip in September 1996. His death, and the unsolved nature of the case for decades afterward, became one of the defining unresolved mysteries in American music.

Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, his brother is preparing to watch a trial he says can offer only partial peace.

Mopreme Shakur sat down with the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil ahead of the murder trial tied to the rapper's 1996 killing, according to the BBC. "I want my brother back," he told Khalil — a plain, aching line that cuts through nearly three decades of theories, documentaries, and unanswered questions surrounding one of hip-hop's most notorious unsolved crimes.

The BBC's report does not detail the identity of the defendant, the specific charges, or the trial's start date beyond noting it is upcoming; those specifics were not included in the available source material, and we flag that gap here rather than guess at it.

What is clear from Mopreme Shakur's own words is a family member's weary honesty: a courtroom can assign blame, but it cannot return what was lost. Tupac Shakur, one of the most influential and commercially successful rappers of his generation, was 25 when he died. His music and legacy have only grown in the years since, even as the case surrounding his death remained, for most of that time, cold.

We'll follow the proceedings and report developments as they're confirmed by credible sources.

Thousands of fans are expected to line the streets of Swansea this week as the city prepares to say farewell to one of its own.

According to the BBC, a funeral service for Bonnie Tyler will be held in the Welsh city before the cortege travels on to Skewen, the community where the singer was raised. The BBC reports the gathering is expected to draw large crowds of admirers hoping to pay their respects.

Tyler, whose gravel-edged voice powered global hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero," remained closely tied to her South Wales roots throughout a career that spanned five decades. Skewen, a small village on the outskirts of Swansea, was where she grew up before her rise to international stardom.

[Editor's note: The BBC report does not specify a cause of death, exact funeral date, or additional details about the service. We are relying on a single wire source for this item and will update with confirmed particulars as they become available.]

For now, what's certain is this: a hometown is preparing to turn out for a woman who never stopped being one of theirs. Details on timing and route were not included in available reporting.

Tupac Shakur was gunned down on the Las Vegas Strip in September 1996, and for nearly thirty years no one answered for it. That changes now. Duane "Keffe D" Davis, a former Southern California gang boss, is standing trial as the first person ever prosecuted in the case, according to Al Jazeera.

Shakur, one of hip-hop's defining voices, was 25 when he was shot while riding in a car driven by Death Row Records founder Suge Knight after a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand. He died six days later. The killing has haunted rap fans and law enforcement alike, feeding decades of documentaries, books and internet theories that outran the facts.

Al Jazeera's report does not detail the specific charges Davis faces or lay out the prosecution's evidence — that remains for the courtroom to establish. What is confirmed is the historic nature of the moment: after generations of dead ends, a case once treated as unsolvable has reached a jury.

Davis has publicly discussed his alleged proximity to the shooting for years, including in a memoir, before his arrest. Whether those accounts translate into a conviction is now up to the court, not the court of public opinion.

For a genre and a fanbase that has spent three decades asking who pulled the trigger, the trial itself is the story today — a reckoning, however overdue, for one of music's most infamous unsolved murders.

Disney's D23 fan expo delivered the moment Marvel loyalists had been waiting for: a new trailer for "Avengers: Doomsday," featuring Robert Downey Jr. back in the fold, according to ABC News.

Downey Jr., who exited the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark/Iron Man in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," is returning to the franchise — this time reportedly in a different role, playing the villain Victor Von Doom, one of Marvel's most famous antagonists. ABC's report confirms the trailer premiered at D23 and that Downey Jr. appears in it alongside other cast members, though our source item is light on further plot or casting specifics.

The film has been one of the most closely watched productions in Hollywood, both for its scale — it's expected to bring together characters from across the MCU's recent television and film slate — and for the novelty of Downey Jr.'s comeback in a new guise. His original run as Tony Stark helped launch the modern superhero-movie era and turned him into one of the highest-paid actors in the world.

We have only the single ABC News item to go on here, and it's thin on details beyond the trailer's existence and Downey Jr.'s presence in it. We're not going to invent release-date specifics or plot points we can't confirm. "Avengers: Doomsday" remains one of the year's most anticipated titles, and Downey Jr.'s return alone was enough to make D23 crowds roar — that part, at least, is well documented.

Stephen Bear has spent plenty of his career chasing cameras. This week a courtroom camera caught up with him instead.

A court heard that Bear, the reality television personality best known from British dating and lifestyle shows, was jailed over breaches of the requirements placed on him as a registered sex offender. According to the BBC, the court was told Bear had posted from Brazil boasting that "the police will not be able to catch" him.

They did.

The BBC's report does not detail the length of the new sentence or the specific conditions Bear breached, and The American Times has not independently verified those particulars beyond what was reported in court. What is clear from the single source available to us: a judge found the breaches serious enough to send him back to custody, and Bear's own words — boasting about evading capture — were read into the record against him.

Bear has been a fixture of British tabloid culture for over a decade, cycling through reality shows and headline-grabbing controversies. His prior conviction as a sex offender is a matter of public record in the UK. This latest case is narrower: not a new offense against a victim, but an alleged failure to comply with the monitoring conditions that conviction carries.

We're working a single wire report here, and we're saying so. If more detail on the sentence length or the nature of the breach becomes available, we'll update.
