Case dropped against Smollett accused of hate attack hoax
Chicago — Chicago authorities on Tuesday dropped the charges against a US television actor accused of fabricating a hate crime, in a shock move that enraged the city's police and mayor, who dismissed it as a "whitewash."Prosecutors said they had shelved all 16 felony charges against "Empire" star Jussie Smollett in exchange for an agreement that he carry out community service and forfeit a $10,000 bond payment.But Smollett's lawyers claimed there was no such agreement, and that the actor was the victim of a rush to judgment."There is no deal.

Cuteness overload: Corgis are king at this "pawsome" cafe
BANGKOK — It started as an over-sized litter and turned into a business plan.When customers walk into Bangkok's "Corgi in the Garden" cafe, they're greeted by a dozen fluffballs on stubby legs rushing out to greet them, jump in laps and shake hands for treats.The cafe houses 12 corgis, whose popularity has been soaring among Thai dog lovers for their roly-poly build and an almost infallible ability to make people smile."They're funny dogs, like their appearances, short and stubby. These are their unique appearances which I like," said cafe owner Tanchanok Kanawaong, the cafe owner."And I also like their laughable characteristics as well, they're so funny."In Tokyo, Bangkok and other cities, "cat cafes" have been popular for...

Tim Burton soars to new heights with 'Dumbo'
Los Angeles — He has never liked the Big Top, mainly due to the caged animals and freaky clowns, but for legendary director Tim Burton there is no denying the romance of running away to join the circus.And even more so if the adventure involves a flying elephant, says the 61-year-old Californian, who is hitting red carpets with his 26th feature, a remake of the 1941 Disney classic "Dumbo.""The thing I liked about 'Dumbo' was just the idea -- the image of a flying elephant and a misfit -- and all that sort of stuff is very appealing to me," he told AFP.The visionary behind a slew of hits spanning four decades, from Gothic animation to screwball comedy, Burton recalls being something of a misfit himself -- the other kids at school called him...

Uri Geller urges mass-telepathy against Brexit
TEL AVIV — Spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller wants to bend British Prime Minister Theresa May's will against Brexit using mass-telepathy.From his home in Israel, Geller — who is also a British citizen and a former resident of May's Maidenhead constituency — wrote an open letter to the prime minister urging her to block Britain's exit from the European Union.Now he wants Britons to join him in twice-daily bursts of telepathy directed at the Conservative leader, in the hope of inspiring her to call a second Brexit referendum."Maybe I'm a bit too late but at least I'm trying my best to use my paranormal abilities, because I'm very concerned that Theresa May will step out of EU," Geller told Reuters."That would be tragic. It would be catastrophic,...
