Brazilian environmentalist gets funded by DiCaprio after false forest fire accusation by Bolsonaro

BELEM, Brazil (AP) — Being falsely accused of setting fire in the Amazon with funds from Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has become a blessing in disguise for Caetano Scannavino. He is the coordinator of a nonprofit organization in the heart of the rainforest. The false accusation by then Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in 2019 put Scannavino’s work at risk in Santarem. But it also allowed Scannavino’s name to travel so far that the Hollywood actor took notice and decided to become one of his sponsors through the Re:wild institute. The Brazilian activist said that their partnership is already five years long.

From child actor to star: Lea Michele's return to Broadway's Imperial Theatre

NEW YORK (AP) — Lea Michele returns to Broadway's Imperial Theatre, where she first heard a song from “Chess” as a child. Now, decades later, she's performing in the same musical at the same venue.

Movie Review: Jennifer Lawrence goes for broke in 'Die My Love'

A primal punk spirit rages through Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love,” a jagged, go-for-broke psychodrama starring Jennifer Lawrence as an increasingly unhinged new mother and Robert Pattinson as her husband. The shorthand description of Ramsay’s film is that it’s about a woman with postpartum depression. But that’s not quite right. It’s more about the power and urges of a woman who, like a beautiful, feral creature, is not taking to domestication. That’s the appealing through line of “Die My Love,” though it can be difficult to firmly grasp it in Ramsay’s piercing but tediously overamplified character study, writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review.

France mourns its stolen crown jewels as their uncomfortable colonial past returns to view

PARIS (AP) — The theft of the Louvre's crown jewels has increased calls for the museum to be more transparent about the colonial origins of the treasures it displays. The stolen artifacts were French, but the gems were not. Their exotic routes to Paris run through the shadows of empire. It is an uncomfortable history that France, like other Western nations with treasure-filled museums, has only begun to confront. Experts say the attention from the heist is an opportunity to pressure the Louvre and Europe’s great museums to explain their collections’ origins more honestly, and it could trigger a broader reckoning over restitutions.
