Why was Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show suspended and then reinstated? Here's what we know

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC will reinstate Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show after having pulled it off the air indefinitely. The unprecedented suspension followed backlash over Kimmel's remarks about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel criticized President Donald Trump and his supporters for their response, accusing them of trying to politicize the murder. The Federal Communications Commission had warned the network of repercussions if Kimmel wasn't punished. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called Kimmel's comments “truly sick.” Kimmel's reinstatement has sparked a range of reactions. Some have decried the move while others have celebrated what they consider a victory for free speech.

Pamela Anderson leads the way for women who choose to go makeup free

NEW YORK (AP) — Pamela Anderson has embraced a makeup-free lifestyle at 58, attending fashion shows and film premieres with a bare face. She describes it as freeing, saying she's not trying to be the prettiest in the room. She and other celebrities like Alicia Keys have inspired some women to do the same, though it can be challenging in traditional workplaces. Stylists and beauty experts suggest focusing on skincare, using products with hydration and no-makeup tricks to enhance natural features. Stylist Natalie Tincher encourages using color and texture in clothing to make a statement. For some, ditching makeup feels liberating and cost-effective.

A timeline of Trump's fights with media, including Jimmy Kimmel

President Donald Trump’s contentious relationship with U.S. news organizations over his time in office has led to a host of legal battles and disputes. ABC's suspension and — days later — return of the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show is the latest example. Trump had celebrated the suspension of the veteran late-night comic and frequent critic of the president and his policies. Kimmel’s monologue had included a reference to the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. A federal judge has also tossed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit Trump filed earlier this month against The New York Times.

Defense tells judge Sean 'Diddy' Combs has served enough time behind bars

NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs are urging a judge to sentence him early next month to no more than 14 months in prison for his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. The lawyers made their arguments Monday in a written submission to New York federal Judge Arun Subramanian. He's already rejected bail for Combs, signaling that he believes he must serve more time behind bars despite being exonerated in July of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors, who will submit their recommendations prior to the Oct. 3 sentencing, have already said they'll urge Combs stay imprisoned substantially longer than the four to five years they originally thought.

Guillermo del Toro almost lost his movie memorabilia in a wildfire. Now, he's letting some of it go

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Guillermo del Toro rose to fame creating horror movies that will likely help shape the genre for generations to come. But, at his core, the Mexican-born horror buff is a collector. Heritage Auctions announced Thursday that a fraction of del Toro's sprawling collection will be up for grabs. Del Toro told The Associated Press he felt inclined to give away some items after the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year came dangerously close to the so-called Bleak Houses, where he stores the collection. Online bidding began Thursday and the auction will take place on Sept. 26. A second and third part of the auction series will come next year.
