Jussie Smollett
US grand jury indicts Smollett for alleged hate attack hoax
Chicago — A Chicago grand jury on Friday indicted American actor Jussie Smollett on 16 felony counts after allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a racist, homophobic hate crime.Police say Smollett -- who gained fame on Fox musical drama "Empire" -- staged the attack in a bid to gain publicity and a bigger paycheck.Instead, the 36-year-old actor has been dropped from the last two episodes of the show's current season, and his future is now in the hands of the court.Smollett was charged last month with one felony count of disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.He allegedly sent himself a threatening letter and then hired two acquaintances to stage a street attack in downtown Chicago, complete with homophobic and racial slurs, while...

'Simpsons' creators drop classic episode featuring Michael Jackson
New York — The creators of "The Simpsons" have shelved one of the animated series' classic episodes because it features Michael Jackson's voice, the show's executive producer told The Wall Street Journal Friday.Simpsons producers made the unanimous decision after viewing the bombshell documentary "Leaving Neverland," which revives pedophilia accusations against the late megastar in excruciating detail."It feels clearly the only choice to make," Simpsons executive producer James L.

US town elects goat as 'mayor'
Washington — In a divided America where politics seems increasingly to get people's goat, a small town in Vermont has taken the concept to heart -- this week electing one as mayor.He may be a political novice but the goat's name, Lincoln, brings with it a storied pedigree.And the leading human official in Fair Haven -- population about 2,500 -- hopes the long-eared, three-year-old animal's election can serve as a bit of a lesson in democracy.In Tuesday's poll, Lincoln was victorious over 15 other candidates including Crystal the gerbil and many dogs and cats.Fair Haven has no official mayor but the Town Manager, Joseph Gunter, holds similar functions.When Gunter read in a newspaper that the village of Omena, Michigan, had made Sweet Tart the cat its "top"...

Kelly was taken into custody on Wednesday for failing to pay child support, just weeks after he was detained on sex abuse charges.The singer was unable to come up with the $161,000 he owes in payments to his ex-wife and their three children, and a judge in Chicago, where Kelly lives, ordered him arrested.It was the latest legal setback for the 52-year-old music star who pleaded not guilty on Feb. 25 to 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse against four victims, three of them minors.Kelly’s representatives say he is having financial difficulties, despite an award-winning career that once produced hits such as “I Believe I Can Fly.”He has been the target of a boycott campaign amid mounting allegations of sexual abuse.Kelly was prepared on...
