Russian rapper deletes pro-Moscow video with 1.5 million dislikes
MOSCOW — A popular Russian rapper on Tuesday deleted a music video singing the praises of Moscow authorities ahead of contentious elections after it gathered almost 1.5 million dislikes on YouTube.Timati, a 36-year-old rapper known for his fervent support of President Vladimir Putin, posted the video, titled simply "Moscow", shortly before Muscovites were set to vote in elections for city parliament on Sunday that had caused mass protests."I don't go to rallies, I don't bullshit," the song goes, apparently referring to weeks of protests in Moscow after the authorities barred opposition candidates from running in the polls.Lyrics in the clip praise the Russian capital as a wealthy city that has become "world standard" and "doesn't hold gay...

Sarah Palin's husband files for divorce
LOS ANGELES, California — The husband of former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has filed for divorce due to "incompatibility of temperament," US media reported on Monday.Divorce papers filed in Anchorage, Alaska cited an "incompatibility of temperament" between Todd and Sarah Palin, both 55, "such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," according to reports.The divorce documents only use the couple's initials, but they were identified by the date of their wedding anniversary and the birthday for their youngest child, who is still a minor.Todd and Sarah Palin married in 1988 and have five children together.The family was thrust into the spotlight when late Republican senator John McCain tapped Sarah Palin, then the...

'The Goldfinch' aims to live up to book at Toronto Film Festival
TORONTO, Canada — 'The Goldfinch' felt the pressure to live up to the award-winning book upon which the film is based, members of the cast and crew said at the Toronto Film Festival premiere on Sunday.Donna Tartt won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2014 for her novel about how the death of Theo Decker's mother in a terrorist attack in the Metropolitan Museum of Art shaped the rest of his life.The plot follows Theo after that moment, both in the present and through a series of flashbacks, as he navigates relationships and family, the art world and the criminal underworld, amid the grief of the loss of his mother.The film faced the gargantuan task of translating the novel, more than 760 pages long, into a feature-length movie."I could definitely feel it when you'd...

Princess Diana, sustainability inspire New York Fashion Week
NEW YORK — A homage to the late Princess Diana and a collection made almost entirely of sustainable clothing were among the breathtaking shows that lit up the second full day of New York Fashion Week on Sunday.American designer Tory Burch, a paragon of Bohemian chic style, wowed a star-studded audience with soft floral prints and baggy, puffed-out sleeves that had a distinct 1980s feel.The 53-year-old, who presides over a clothing empire worth more than $1 billion in annual sales, said the Spring 2020 collection had been inspired by Princess Diana's personality rather than her wardrobe per se."I have always admired her and I wanted to tread very carefully because clearly, she's a style icon and I didn't want to reference that. But I felt she had a fearlessness and being...

Scarlett Johansson unveils 'Jojo Rabbit', 'Marriage Story' in Toronto
TORONTO, Canada — Scarlett Johansson dominated the Toronto film festival's red carpets on Sunday with the debuts of two new films including the world premiere of satirical Nazi comedy "Jojo Rabbit."The movie from "Thor: Ragnarok" director Taika Waititi tells the story of a young German boy living during World War II whose imaginary friend is a make-believe version of Adolf Hitler.Billed as an "anti-hate satire," it plots how the child — a Hitler Youth member with a fondness for Nazi uniforms and book-burnings — discovers that his mother (Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic.Johansson said the film's humor and childish perspective give audiences a new way to grasp "the atrocity of what was really going on at that time."She...

E-bike grumbles echo in the Bavarian Alps
LENGGRIES, GERMANY - Robert Werner and his wife Ursula usually make time to say a friendly hello to hikers as they ride their gently whirring e-bikes up trails in the Bavarian Alps.But more often than not, their greetings are met with frowns."The first thing they look at when they see us are our bikes," says hotelier Robert, 46, of his electric-powered bicycle."If we have an engine, they respect us less."While the Werners are convinced of the virtues of e-bikes which have pedals but also an electric motor that can assist the rider's pedal power, others are less enthusiastic about the new revolution in cycling.On their e-bikes, the couple powers up the 800-metre ascent to the summit of Herzogstand mountain in half an hour -- without breaking a sweat.Many purists...

'Joker' wins Golden Lion at Venice, Polanski drama is runner-up
VENICE, Italy —The dark drama "Joker" about the origins of the villainous character won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, while Roman Polanski's military drama about France's notorious Dreyfus affair took the runner-up prize.Joaquin Phoenix, who won rave reviews from critics at the festival, plays Batman's nemesis, and the story follows his transformation from vulnerable loner to confident villain."Joker" distances itself from typical superhero films, with director Todd Phillips, who said he took inspiration from 1970s character study movies, using sombre lighting and dark music throughout."I want to thank Warner Bros and DC for stepping out of their comfort zone and taking such a bold swing on me and this movie,"...

Rihanna back as Ford promises new era for New York Fashion Week
NEW YORK — Tom Ford, Rihanna, and the return of big names including Tommy Hilfiger herald a promised new era for New York Fashion Week which kicks off on Friday after a run of underwhelming seasons.American designer Ford is credited with reviving Gucci in the 1990s and has quickly set about trying to do the same for Fashion Week, shortening its length and strengthening its diversity."I want global exposure to the creativity that is in New York," said Ford, who in June became chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) which runs Fashion Week."Everything is too inward-looking in this country. So American star designers, they leave. Virgil Abloh, where is he? He's at Vuitton."You go to Paris and you become global. You stay in New York, and...

Prince Harry to visit Diana's Angola landmine project
LONDON — Britain's Prince Harry will make a poignant visit to Angola this month to visit the landmine clearance project that featured in some of the most famous photographs of his late mother Princess Diana.The pictures of Diana wearing protective gear as she walked among red skull-and-cross-bone signs in 1997 won vital publicity for the Halo Trust which was clearing mines left during Angola’s civil war.Diana died a few months before the international treaty to ban the weapons was signed later that year."(Harry) will visit the location where his mother was photographed. He will see how an area that was a dangerous minefield in 1997 is now a busy street with schools, shops and houses," Buckingham Palace said on Friday.Harry, his wife Meghan and their baby son Archie will...

VENICE, Italy — Female Saudi Arabian directors Haifaa Al-Mansour and Shahad Ameen brought a message to the Venice Film Festival along with their movies: Women must be seen and heard.Mansour's "The Perfect Candidate" is one of two films by female directors out of 21 competing for the festival's Golden Lion award, telling the story of a woman doctor facing gender-based challenges while running for municipal council.Ameen's "Scales", which screened out of competition, focuses on a young girl surviving against superstitious villagers who believe she is a curse.Both directors hope their films will convey a message of empowerment at a time when Saudi Arabia has been easing male guardianship rules."Showing a lead female character, it is indirectly empowering...
