Milly Alcock’s ‘punk rock’ Supergirl takes flight as DC bets big on the Woman of Tomorrow

Australian actor Milly Alcock stars as Supergirl in this summer's new DC Studios movie bearing her name. Heading to theaters on June 26, the film finds her character on an intergalactic odyssey of revenge. DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran first noticed Alcock on the “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon.” Since she filmed her cameo for “Superman,” it's been a non-stop ride. Alcock says her character reminded her a lot of herself. She's finding the experience of sudden fame somewhat disorienting and laughs about anyone wanting a toy with her face.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alt-pop singer D4vd has been charged with sexually abusing, murdering, and mutilating a 14-year-old girl. Los Angeles County prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez's decomposed remains were found in his abandoned Tesla. The allegations date back to 2023.

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.

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.

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.

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, somewhat mysterious past.
