Teens embrace social media and influencers for news but remain skeptical

NEW YORK (AP) — A new survey finds teenagers are more likely to get news from nontraditional sources like social media and influencers than their elders are. Experts say that's likely heralding a generational shift in how people seek out information. The results are from the Media Insight Project. The survey finds 57% of teenagers get daily news from social media, compared with 36% of adults. Similarly, 57% of teens get some news from influencers, compared with 43% of adults. The new poll points to the pervasiveness of social media in teenagers’ lives and shows how more teens are consuming their news from these platforms or independent content creators, rather than directly from national or local news sources.

Banksy confirms a new statue in central London of a man blinded by a flag is his work

LONDON (AP) — Elusive street artist Banksy has claimed responsibility for a new sculpture in central London. The statue features a man striding off a plinth with his face covered by a flag. Banksy posted a video on his Instagram account Thursday showing snippets of how it was installed in the dead of night. Before Banksy's confirmation, locals and tourists speculated the sculpture near Buckingham Palace was his work due to his signature at the base. Known for spray-painting buildings, Banksy's street art has gained global fame, often selling for millions. Despite his success, Banksy has never publicly revealed his identity.

David Allan Coe, who wrote 'Take This Job and Shove It' and other country hits, dies at 86

Outlaw country singer-songwriter David Allan Coe, who wrote the blue-collar anthem “Take This Job and Shove It'' and created a singing career after a stint in prison, has died. He was 86. A statement to People said he died Wednesday. The cause was not disclosed. Coe had a cult following based on his raw, often-obscene lyrics and a checkered plus somewhat mysterious past. His hits included “You Never Even Call Me by My Name” in 1975 and “The Ride” in 1983. He was also the first country singer to record “Tennessee Whiskey,” which has since become a genre standard.

Harvey Weinstein's lawyers question his accuser at his rape retrial

NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers are getting their chance to query his accuser at his rape retrial. It’s the third time she has had to answer his lawyers’ questions in a New York court. But different attorneys are now defending the onetime Hollywood powerbroker. Their cross-examination began Wednesday and resumed Thursday. The 73-year-old Weinstein is in the midst of his third trial on a charge of raping the woman in a New York hotel in 2013. The two also had a consensual sexual relationship, and his lawyers maintain that she was a willing partner in everything that happened.

Movie Review: 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' still has style but the story is overdressed

The second “Devil Wears Prada” plays out a bit like a fashion world “Succession,” with better clothes and a lot less cursing, writes Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. It's a fitfully functional sequel that doesn’t fit its cast nearly as snugly as the 2006 original did. Nostalgia, haute couture and the sheer appeal of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci will be enough for some to celebrate this 20-year reunion. Fashion trends are notoriously fickle but some things, like Streep and Tucci, never go out of style. But mid-life career changes aren’t nearly as compelling as a newbie assistant thrown into the high-fashion fire. Everyone, even Miranda, is a bit too, well, nice in the sequel.

‘Mormon Wives’ star Taylor Frankie Paul and ex-partner push for protective orders against each other

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Attorneys for reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul and the father of her 2-year-old son are set to present dueling petitions for protective orders against each other. The case could determine who gets custody of their child. Both Paul and ex-partner Dakota Mortensen have asked a Utah court to turn short-term protective orders into long-term arrangements as the two have accused each other of domestic violence. Paul rose to fame on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and was supposed to star in the new season of “The Bachelorette” before its cancellation. Paul and Mortensen's son, Ever, will have a court-appointed lawyer present at Thursday’s hearing.

Prosecutors say singer D4vd stabbed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez to death to silence her

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors say singer D4vd killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez by stabbing her multiple times. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office shared what they said the evidence would show in a document filed Wednesday. The form says D4vd (pronounced “David”), whose legal name is David Burke, met Rivas Hernandez when she was 11, began a sexual relationship with her when she was 13 and he was 18, and killed her when she threatened to reveal their inappropriate relationship. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other counts. His lawyers have said he did not cause the girl’s death.

'Disclosure Day' answers questions from 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' Josh O’Connor says

Josh O’Connor says working with Steven Spielberg on “Disclosure Day” was surreal. The British actor, known for playing Prince Charles in “The Crown,” felt like he was living a dream on set.
