For months, pro-Palestinian activists have flooded the comments sections of social media sites, urging stars to join calls for a ceasefire in Gaza's deadliest war. Her message was taken up as a rallying cry for the pro-Palestinian movement, and early signs suggest the boycott may be having an impact. It's uncertain whether the movement is directly responsible for the social media hits seen by some celebrities, or if other trends are at play. But with the advent of social media, it's become easier for people to develop "parasocial" relationships with stars -- essentially one-way connections that feel reciprocal.

Ed McCaffrey thinks his wife, Lisa McCaffrey, may have let him win a 40-yard dash more than two decades ago.

“You handle it,” Mr Cohen quoted Trump as telling him after learning that a doorman had come forward with a claim that Trump had fathered a child out-of-wedlock. The Trump Tower doorman was paid 30,000 dollars to keep the story “off the market” even though the claim was ultimately deemed unfounded. A similar episode occurred after Mr Cohen alerted Trump that a Playboy model alleged that she and Trump had an extramarital affair. Again, the order was clear: “Make sure it doesn’t get released,” Mr Cohen said Trump told him. The reimbursements Mr Cohen received from that payment form the basis of the charges against Trump — 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Since coming to power last year, Maldives' President Mohamed Muizzu has reoriented the country towards China. Without naming the archipelago's main lender, the IMF said the Maldives remained "at high risk of external and overall debt distress" without "significant policy changes". Official data showed the Maldives' foreign debt reaching $4.038 billion last year, about 118 percent of gross domestic product and up nearly $250 million from 2022. As of June 2023, the Export-Import Bank of China owned 25.2 percent of the Maldives' external debt and was the country's biggest single lender, Maldives finance ministry figures showed. Debt-burdened neighbour Sri Lanka defaulted on its foreign debt in 2022 after a foreign exchange crisis that brought months of food and fuel shortages.

Stephen King has been clacking away — it's hard to imagine him writing his tales of terror on anything other than a typewriter — for over 50 years. "You Like It Darker," a collection of 12 short stories and novellas, is the latest addition to King's massive oeuvre. Happily, King's characteristic muscular prose is retained, practically giving off whiffs of aftershave, filterless cigarettes and beer. He comes by way of "Cujo" — he's the man whose family is terrorized by a rabid St. Bernard in the 1981 novel. If it had included bullies and dreams, it would have been the perfect embodiment of a King story.
