Alice Bag Back at Alex’s Bar

Alice Bag Back at Alex’s Bar: When L.A. queen of punk Alice Bag plays a show, all of L.A. should show up. Besides her classic Bags material, her solo material over the past decade has been superb. Not least 2020’s Sister Dynamite, which is a gem. The Groans and Cosmic Kitten also perform.“I feel like, for years now, people have been saying that we already have equality,” Bag told us in 2018. “It’s now evident that we do need people to step forward and call themselves feminists. We won’t tolerate things like pussy grabbing, and the sexual harassment that is so common [that] women and men don’t even really feel like it’s an exception. It feels like it happens to everyone and nobody is doing anything about it, until now.”“I think sometimes things have to become uncomfortable enough that it forces you to act,” she continued. “Some people are more willing to bend. They have a higher threshold for bullshit, and they’ll keep taking it on. I’m very quick to say that I’m no...

What to watch: Italy stars, for better or worse, in 2 very different films

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:48:44 GMT

Got your summer vacation travel plans booked already? If not, the movies could help and convince you that you need to go to Italy. And now.The hotspot for culture, wine, scenery and all that sinfully delicious food shows off its two very different sides in two very different movies.First up comes the “traditional” tourist tour of Italy in the form of “Book Club: The Next Chapter.” The second is aimed for the more epic adventurer wowed by the Italian Alps, where “The Eight Mountains” is set.Which is the better film? Read this week’s roundup to fine out.“The Eight Mountains”: What a shame it would be to watch Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s breathtaking beauty on an itty-bitty screen. It’s a visual feast that all but declares: Go to the movie theater already! The soul-stirring cinematography of Ruben Impens is matched by the epic storytelling about two boyhood chums in Italy and their bond that strengthens and shifts over the years. Both directors take care in...

At 79, Robert De Niro becomes one of the world’s oldest celebrity dads

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:48:44 GMT

With Robert De Niro announcing this week that he’s welcomed his seventh child at age 79, the Academy Award-winning movie star has become one of the oldest male celebrities to ever take advantage of a biological fact: Men produce sperm until they die.Certainly, 79 sounds like an advanced age to be tasked with constantly changing diapers or walking a fussy newborn around in the middle of the night. Wouldn’t he rather just go on a cruise? Of course, it’s entirely possible that his much-younger partner Tiffany Chen, or a nanny, will handle those parenting duties.Actually, the “Raging Bull” actor already has experience with advanced paternal age. He was 68 in 2011 when he and his ex-wife, Grace Hightower, welcomed their daughter, Helen Grace, via surrogate.Still, if he’s looking for emotional support as he embarks on this awesome but exhausting new responsibility, he could form a dad’s group with some other well-known older fathers, including Mic...

The “Power, Pride, and Politics” Behind the Drive to Execute Richard Glossip

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:48:44 GMT

Two weeks before he was scheduled to die at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, Richard Glossip packed his belongings in a box. Of the personal items that could fit in his death row cell, these were his treasured possessions: letters, cards, and most importantly, photos of his wife, Lea, which he’d carefully taken off the wall. For the past few years, she’d been his lifeline, a source of strength and comfort and his daily portal to the outside world. Over the phone, he kept her company as she drank her coffee in the morning, drove to and from her law school classes, and watched the evening news.After the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board denied Glossip’s clemency request last month, Lea was the person he turned to. “I called her the second I got back to my cell,” he said. “I told the guards, ‘I need to get back there.’ … Whenever things get really tough for me, and I feel at my lowest point, I know that I can talk to Lea and she can pick me up from that.”Now they faced a dr...

‘The person becomes a commodity’: Funeral directors seek law to regulate ‘body brokers’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:48:44 GMT

The death of a loved one can spark a torrent of emotions, amid shock and sadness — and often a flurry of money-making activities by “body brokers.”The National Funeral Directors Association is lobbying to have Congress establish a law that would regulate the activities of people or companies that target those who may want to donate their loved one’s body to science, or may not be able to afford the expense of a funeral.Jon Milton, director of Laurel Hill Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and other funeral directors said demand for human cadavers for use in medical research is higher than the number of families who would reach out to have their loved one’s remains be donated for medical research.“Body brokers market themselves as working on behalf of research facilities,” said Milton. “They’re the ones who are approaching the families, either through hospice, or funeral homes, or in the hospital, to have f...

Wawrinka beats Ivashka after rain delay at Italian Open

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:48:44 GMT

ROME (AP) — Stan Wawrinka wasted little time securing a 6-2, 6-4 win over Ilya Ivashka in the first round of the Italian Open on Wednesday after the start was delayed for 90 minutes due to rain.At age 38, Wawrinka is the oldest man in the tournament but he dominated Ivashka by hitting more than twice as many winners as his opponent, including one on his first match point to close it out in little more than an hour.“This year I am playing much better, but I need to win more matches. That is what I am missing a bit, the confidence to win more matches,” said Wawrinka, who had two surgeries on his left foot in 2021 and two operations on his left knee in 2017. “But in general the level is great.”Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion, next faces 26th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, with the winner potentially meeting top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the third round.“My dream is to win another trophy, another tournament,” Wawrinka said. “Of course I’m getting older, it’s getting more ...
