As young India protests, young Bollywood finds its voice
MUMBAI, India — Fearing a backlash from fans, politicians and religious zealots, Bollywood stars have in the past usually steered clear of India's fiery politics. But the country's top actress may have changed that.Signaling a possible generational shift, Deepika Padukone waded into a sea of student protesters in Delhi on Tuesday night, evoking loud cheers from the surprised crowd.Few had any inkling that Padukone would attend the demonstration at a prestigious university where the left-leaning student body has long been in the cross-hairs of India's ruling party.Her appearance sparked a social media war between those wanting her new film boycotted — suggesting her only motive was publicity for the movie which released on Friday — and others applauding her courage.Either...

Harvey Weinstein sex crimes trial opens in New York
NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein's high-profile sex crimes trial opened Monday, kicking off proceedings key to the #MeToo movement that could see the once-mighty Hollywood producer jailed for life if convicted on charges of predatory sexual assault.The disgraced movie mogul entered the New York state courthouse looking frail in a dark suit and using a walker, more than two years after a slew of allegations against him triggered waves of outrage over pervasive sexual assault in the workplace, leading to the downfall of dozens of powerful men.Demonstrators anchored by actresses Rose McGowan and Rosanna Arquette — two of Weinstein's most prominent accusers — gathered outside the Manhattan court wielding signs with slogans like "Justice for survivors.""Time's up on...

'Succession,' 'Fleabag' top TV winners at Golden Globes
LOS ANGELES — The television awards at the Golden Globes are often somewhat overlooked — after all, the industry handed out the Emmys just a few months ago.But at Sunday's boozy Globes gala, the winners in the small screen categories — including the stars behind breakout British comedy "Fleabag" and the darkly humorous drama "Succession" — got some laughs and got political.Phoebe Waller-Bridge accepted the trophy for best musical or comedy series for "Fleabag" — which follows the antics, sex life and tribulations of a dry-witted 30-something woman in London — with a line of thanks for none other than Barack Obama for putting the show on his Best Of 2019 list."Personally, I would like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list — as...

Biggest bloom: 'World's largest' flower spotted in Indonesia
PADANG, Indonesia — Indonesian conservationists say they've spotted the biggest specimen ever of what's already been billed as one of the world's largest flowers.The giant Rafflesia tuan-mudae — a fleshy red flower with white blister-like spots on its enormous petals — came in at a whopping 111 centimeters (3.6 foot) in diameter.That's bigger than the previous record of 107 centimeters on a bloom also found in the jungles of West Sumatra several years ago."This is the largest Rafflesia tuan-mudae that has ever been documented," said Ade Putra at the Agam Conservation Agency in Sumatra.The flower's bloom will only last about one week before it will wither and rot, he added.It was named Rafflesia after British colonialist Sir Stamford Raffles who spotted...

Mariah Carey first to score #1 hit in four different decades
NEW YORK — Pop diva Mariah Carey has had a long list of hits over the years, but her classic holiday song has helped her make history as the first artist to top the Billboard charts in four separate decades."All I Want For Christmas Is You" is number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week dated Jan. 4, 2020, based on sales, radio airplay and streaming data — its third week atop the rankings.That means Carey has had a number one single in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.The bubbly, ubiquitous holiday tune was first released in 1994 and gained new fame after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the 2003 film "Love, Actually."But it only topped the charts for the first time in late 2019, thanks to a change in Billboard's rules as to what can be included on the...
