Pop-up art show takes over German president's residence before yearslong renovation

BERLIN (AP) — A pop-up art show featuring contemporary works is set to open at the German president's official residency this week before renovations begin. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed his support for the show on Monday, emphasizing the importance of free art in democracy. The exhibition will run for two weeks starting Friday and is organized by Berlin's Academy of Arts. Interest has been high, with the ticket website crashing last month. The show includes works by artists like Katharina Grosse and Wolfgang Tillmans. Visitors can also interact with artists through performances and discussions.

Steven Spielberg on his faith in alien life, the future of the movies and the power of empathy

NEW YORK (AP) — Steven Spielberg's “Disclosure Day” returns Hollywood’s preeminent big-screen craftsman to one of his most abiding questions: Are we alone? Coming nearly half a century after “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Disclosure Day” is a grand bookend for one of the most cosmically-minded moviemakers of our time, whose dreams of extraterrestrial life have shaped all of ours. But while Spielberg grants his 1977 film was “speculative,” “Disclosure Day,” he insists, is the real deal. In an interview, Spielberg tells The Associated Press that his belief in alien life has turned into a conviction. “Disclosure Day,” he says, is too real to be called science fiction.

Tony winners thank voice teachers and babysitters as Broadway crowns 'Schmigadoon!'

NEW YORK (AP) — The new host at the Tonys, Pink, pretended at the beginning that she didn't know what she was doing. Then former host Neil Patrick Harris told her to just be herself, and it turned out that was just fine. Pink scored big with the opening number, an extravaganza featuring some 170 performers from casts of current shows. The song also name-checked many actors in the audience. Other highlights included the first Tony win by Joshua Henry, a beloved four-time nominee, for his role in “Ragtime.” And the Tonys showered love on “Schmigadoon!" — a Broadway musical that pays homage to, well, Broadway musicals.

‘Ragtime’ is still resonating with audiences 30 years since its Broadway debut

New York (AP) — It's been nearly 30 years since Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens wrote the music and lyrics for “Ragtime,” the American epic musical about the intertwining lives of three New York families at the turn of the 20th century. This could be the year that the show takes home a best show award at the Tonys. With 11 nods, it's up against “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” and “The Rocky Horror Show” in the best revival category. The cast and creative team say part of why it is resonating is because the audience now sees it as a contemporary story, instead of a period piece.

'Scary Movie' tops box office, slaying 'Masters of the Universe' and adding to low-budget streak

NEW YORK (AP) — The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof “Scary Movie” topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, easily besting the far-from-mighty “Masters of the Universe.” The sixth “Scary Movie” notched a franchise-best $105.5 million global launch. After just two weeks of release, “Backrooms” became A24's highest-grossing release ever. It's made $212 million worldwide. Focus Features’ “Obsession” grossed $25.6 million in its fourth weekend. That marked a slight 7% drop from the previous weekend for 26-year-old Curry Barker’s horror sensation. Not accounting for inflation, no horror movie has ever had a better fourth weekend.

From Ben Stiller to Fat Joe, the Knicks' celebrity fans get to work at NBA Finals practice

NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Brown thought he was finished with his news conference Sunday when a voice called out from the back of the interview room. Fat Joe wanted the mic. The rapper gave the New York Knicks coach some grief about the kind of sneakers he wears, then asked for an autographed pair if they win the championship, as the team’s celebrity fans got into the action during a practice day at the NBA Finals. Actor Ben Stiller also was at Madison Square Garden, taking video and meeting the coach for the first time. Fat Joe said the Knicks' first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999 has united the city.
