Christina Applegate unleashes a raw, probing memoir: 'You with the Sad Eyes'
NEW YORK (AP) — Christina Applegate releases a blunt new memoir that lays out her fame, trauma and illness without a filter. She writes about an absent father and an abusive home. She describes domestic violence, cancer and living with multiple sclerosis. She also admits deep struggles with body image and self-hate. She revisits her biggest roles, from “Married… with Children” to “Dead to Me.” She shares wild work stories and cringe regrets, and triumphs, like the time she danced on a broken foot when she starred in “Sweet Charity” on Broadway. Her editor says the honesty feels rare and risky.

Justin Timberlake sues to block release of police video from 2024 drunken driving arrest in New York
NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Timberlake is suing to block the release of police body camera footage from his drunken driving arrest in New York’s Hamptons in 2024. The pop star’s lawyers argued in a lawsuit filed Monday that release of the video would “devastate” Timberlake’s privacy and cause “severe and irreparable harm” to his reputation. A lawyer for Sag Harbor said a judge didn't immediately rule following a court hearing. Timberlake was arrested in June 2024 after Sag Harbor police said he ran a stop sign, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol. He ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
Patrick O'Connell to bare his 'demons' in a memoir on building The Inn at Little Washington
NEW YORK (AP) — Chef Patrick O’Connell has written a memoir about turning an old garage into The Inn at Little Washington, a world-famous restaurant. The publisher Celadon Books announced on Tuesday that it plans to release “Main, Middle & Gay” in September. O’Connell calls it a hard, freeing look back at his life. He says he waited to tell some stories until many people in them had died. O’Connell opened the restaurant in 1978. The title is a reference to streets where the restaurant and hotel is located in Washington, Virginia. O'Connell's honors include a James Beard lifetime award and a National Humanities Medal, for celebrating regional flavors and local farmers.

Trump takes unconventional approach to communicating to the public about war in Iran
The Trump administration took more than 48 hours to make any live, public communication with the American people about why it had decided to go to war with Iran. It's part of an unconventional president's unconventional approach, and left President Donald Trump open to some criticism. Until Monday, the president had only communicated through two taped messages on the Truth Social platform, and telephone interviews with more than a dozen reporters. Trump addressed the war in a White House ceremony on Monday, but didn't take any questions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a rare Pentagon briefing — where his former Fox News colleague was given a back row seat.
