"As Tyler was mauling and groping [Bellino] he was humping her pretending to have sex with [Bellino.] Others stood by outside the phone booth laughing and as passersby watched and witnessed, nobody in the entourage intervened."The complaint added, "Tyler's penis was erect, and it was evident to her as he rubbed it against her that he was not wearing underwear and wearing thin pants. [Bellino] fought back and struggled to be free but Tyler restrained her."

And I was like, 'I want to communicate properly. I want us to have effective communication.'"After she voiced her need for communication, Phillips said that Baldwin "gained his composure" and she "did the same." "Then we were able to have like a normal conversation about what we were both upset about," the "Hold On" hitmaker said.

You end up making everybody around you every bit as miserable," Kathie Lee told the outlet. "I have always felt from my earliest youth that I had the choice every day of my life to be a blessing or a burden, and I want to be a blessing."

Six years later, in 1982, they divorced, citing irreconcilable differences, according to Entertainment Tonight. Kathie Lee told the outlet that she had walked away from that marriage learning a lot of lessons about letting go of painful moments."I'd been married before to a man who betrayed me deeply, and I forgave him right away.  You don't hold on, don't wait to forgive ... you're only hurting yourself," she said.

I don't want it for me, I don't want it for anyone I love. I want people to be blessed, and we all make our choices," she said."We all make our choices -- he [Frank] made a different one than I did, and we all live with them," she continued. "But I can live with the choices I have made if I have truly experienced a deep and abiding forgiveness of that person."In 2020, Kathie Lee released her memoir, "It's Never Too Late: Make the Next Act of Your Life the Best Act of Your Life," which detailed Frank's affair.

Harvey Weinstein rape conviction overturned: #MeToo Movement will need to 'adjust' strategies, expert says Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction being overturned means #MeToo prosecutors will need to "adjust" their strategies in future cases. Weinstein's 2020 conviction was overturned by a New York appeals court Thursday, granting his legal team's request for a new trial."Trial courts will be more cautious with their evidentiary rulings where a defendant's character or evidence of past misdeeds are presented," criminal defense attorney Michael Rene Huff told Fox News Digital. "While, generally, findings of fact are within the sound discretion of the trial court, judges will exercise greater scrutiny as to their evidentiary rulings in these cases. The #MeToo movement will need to adjust their prosecutorial strategies accordingly."Prosecutors likely will be "more hesitant" to use "prior bad acts" witnesses in future cases, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani explained to Fox News Digital. HARVEY WEINSTEIN RAPE CONVICTION OVERTURNED BY NY APPEALS COURT "Prosecutors like prior bad acts evidence in sexual assault cases," Rahmani said. "Jurors may not believe the testimony of one victim in a he said-she said situation, but it's hard for them to reject the testimony of multiple victims who tell the same story."Oleg Nekritin, a defense attorney at the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot, told Fox News Digital the latest ruling won't affect Me Too cases much."Weinstein achieved an undeniable legal victory before the Court of Appeals," he said. "However, its impact on past or future 'MeToo' cases will be minimal, as the court's decision was limited to the specific facts of this case."A New York appeals court overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape and forcible sex act conviction. He was originally found guilty of forcing oral sex on TV and film production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006 and third-degree rape of hairstylist Jessica Mann in 2013.He was acquitted of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault from actor Annabella Sciorra's allegations of rape in the 1990s. Weinstein has denied ever engaging in non-consensual sex.In a 4-3 decision, the appeals court found Weinstein's trial judge allowed prosecutors to call women who said Weinstein had assaulted them to testify, even though their accusations did not specifically relate to the entertainment mogul's charges. This move created an unfair trial for Weinstein, the four judges concluded."Justice was served. I believe this decision is larger than Harvey Weinstein," Donna Rotunno, Weinstein's defense lawyer, told Fox News in a statement. "Courts cannot operate on emotion and lack of due process. The world is off balance, and when the justice system does not work, nothing does. This decision restores faith in the foundation of our system." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Weinstein's conviction being overturned doesn't mean he is "actually innocent," Rahmani noted. "He'll get prosecuted again and will be convicted again, this time without using the testimony regarding the uncharged sexual assaults," the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers told Fox News Digital. "He'll probably get the same sentence when he is convicted again. The judge won't punish him for exercising his appeal rights."And, in the meantime, Weinstein will be serving a 16-year sentence in California state prison. Nor will the decision have any precedential impact on the California or other Me Too cases. It was a slim majority, and New York law doesn't control California and other states." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Despite the trials being in different states, Weinstein's lawyers have raised the same issues regarding the producer's California conviction."While the trials were in different jurisdictions, the same issue of admitting prior bad acts occurred in the California case," Richard Kaplan, partner of Kaplan Marino, told Fox News Digital. "It is likely his appellate team will craft the same arguments that prevailed in New York."Weinstein's legal team hinted at the same argument following Thursday's overturned conviction."We faced the same fundamental unfairness in the Los Angeles case, where the judge let the jury hear about four uncharged allegations of sexual assault," Mark Werksman, Weinstein's defense attorney for the California case, told the Los Angeles Times. "Harvey was subjected to a firehose of uncharged and incredible allegations which destroyed his right to a fair trial on the charges in the indictment. The case here should be reversed for the same reasons the New York case was reversed."After Weinstein's sentencing in New York in 2020, he was extradited to California in July 2021 to face sexual assault allegations made by four women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2013.In December 2022, he was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and another sexual misconduct count involving a woman known as Jane Doe 1. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison in February 2023. Weinstein's legal team has vowed to appeal that conviction as well."Consequently, Weinstein's California appeal may have legs if the California appellate court rules that the trial court allowed inadmissible evidence regarding Weinstein's character," Huff told Fox News Digital. Weinstein also faces charges  in London for two alleged offenses in 1996. Fox News Digital's Tracy Wright contributed to this report. How Queen Camilla went from vilified mistress to beloved daughter-in-law It took years before Camilla was accepted behind palace doors - and the once vilified royal mistress was determined to earn the trust of Britain's longest-reigning monarch.Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, recently wrote a book,  "My Mother and I." It explores King Charles III's upbringing and relationship with his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Seward also sat down with the king, 75, at his Highgrove estate.The royal expert told Fox News Digital that Camilla, who was crowned queen alongside Charles in 2023, wanted to prove her worth. KATE MIDDLETON, KING CHARLES' CANCER BATTLES FORCE PRINCE WILLIAM AND QUEEN CAMILLA INTO UNLIKELY ALLIANCE "What Camilla did... she worked really hard at looking after Charles," said Seward. "Once she was married to Charles, she really took on the burden of royal duties, which isn't easy for someone [who] hasn't been brought up to it.""Imagine going to a very grand wedding every single day and having to get up, dressed up, go out, meet people and talk to a lot of people you're never going to meet again," Seward explained. "That is quite exhausting every single day. And this is for a woman [who]... was an army housewife. She was used to slopping around in her jeans, doing the gardening, going to her little shed and doing some painting, doing a bit of cooking, not really ever getting dressed up.""But so suddenly to be thrust into that world was quite exhausting for her," Seward added.Charles met Camilla in 1970 through mutual friend Lucia Santa Cruz. According to reports, Charles was instantly smitten. Despite a blossoming romance, Charles joined the Navy in 1971. It's also noted that Camilla didn't meet the royal prerequisites for marrying an heir to the throne. The couple likely believed they didn't have a future together.While Charles was serving in the Navy, Camilla married Andrew Parker Bowles, an ex-boyfriend of Charles' younger sister Princess Anne, in 1973. According to reports, a devastated Charles tried to stop Camilla from marrying Parker Bowles, but the pair remained friends.Author Penny Juror previously alleged in her book,  "The Duchess: The Untold Story,"  that Charles and Camilla began an affair around 1978 or 1979 and Parker Bowles was allegedly aware. As the pair stayed close, Charles began courting Lady Diana Spencer in 1980. Charles and Diana married in 1981. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Charles and Camilla reportedly began having another affair in 1986. In 1992, Charles and Diana announced their separation. During an ITV interview in 1994, Charles admitted to cheating on Diana. A year later, Camilla and her spouse called it quits, announcing in a statement they had lived apart for years.Charles and Diana's  divorce was finalized in 1996 . A year later, the Princess of Wales died in a car crash at age 36. While Charles and Camilla made their first public appearance in 1999, it wasn't until a year later that the queen acknowledged the relationship. Charles and Camilla married in 2005. The queen didn't attend the civil ceremony.Seward noted that, at first, the queen was "very wary" of Camilla's efforts. But in time, she saw a different side of her daughter-in-law."Eventually, she realized how loyal Camilla was and how hard she worked at the job of being royal," said Seward.But there was one act by Camilla that sealed the deal with the queen."She was wonderful with Prince Philip in his ailing years," said Seward about the queen's husband of 73 years, the longest marriage for any British royal couple. "[Camilla] was really, really patient and very, very good with him," said Seward. "The queen... saw the warmth that Camilla had and realized that... Camilla was doing more for her son than she'd ever managed to do."In February 2022, the queen said in a statement that Camilla's title would be queen consort when Charles became king.  "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes king, I know you will give him and his wife, Camilla, the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as queen consort as she continues her own loyal service," said the queen when she marked the 70th anniversary of her rule.Following the announcement, Charles said he and Camilla were "deeply conscious of the honor.""As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout," he said. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Seward said she wasn't surprised by the queen's announcement. "[The queen and Camilla] were pretty close," she claimed. "I think the queen [had] a great sense of humor, and so does Camilla. She sees it as a glass half full, not a glass half empty. Charles sees it as a glass half empty. He always looks on the... negative side, or he used to... Camilla always looked on the positive.""If she missed a train, she said, 'Oh, don't worry, there's another one in 15 minutes,'" Seward continued. "But Charles would say, 'Oh my God, it's all going to be a disaster. I'm going to be late all round.' So it was just a different way of looking at life.""I think the queen and Camilla looked at life the same way," Seward shared. "And also, they were both country women, and they loved horses and dogs, which always helps."The queen, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, died in September 2022 at age 96. Days before the couple's coronation in May 2023, Charles issued a royal warrant to change his wife's title to queen. She is now known as Queen Camilla.With the king and his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton currently sidelined by cancer, Camilla has helped pick up the slack. She has increased her schedule of appearances in her efforts to keep the royal family in the public eye. KING CHARLES 'KNEW' QUEEN CAMILLA 'WAS GOING TO BE CROWNED ALONGSIDE HIM,' EXPERT CLAIMS: 'THEY MEAN BUSINESS' The king has canceled his public engagements indefinitely after revealing that he is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.Since becoming a member of the royal family, Camilla has taken on roles at more than 100 charities, championing issues that range from promoting literacy to supporting victims of domestic violence and helping the elderly. Andrew Morton, Princess Diana's biographer, previously told Fox News Digital that at one point, the queen and the future king were at odds over his true love."There was considerable animus between the houses of the queen and Prince Charles over Camilla," he explained. "[It was there] before [Princess] Diana died, and certainly after Diana died.""The queen and her advisers, her courtiers, her private secretary - they all believed that Prince Charles should give up Camilla," he said. "He could love her, but he needed to leave her. And that's because they felt she was damaging to the monarchy, which she was. There's no question about that."Morton alleged that the relationship between mother and son was so tense that a mediator had to step in. KING CHARLES' RELATIONSHIP WITH QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS NEARLY DESTROYED BY CAMILLA AFFAIR: AUTHOR "The presence of Camilla in Charles' life did cause a rift between the queen and her eldest son, one which took several years to patch up," Morton explained. "And it wasn't until the Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, intervened and said, 'Look, I've spoken to Camilla on numerous occasions. She's dedicated and loving. And her feelings for Charles are not going away.'""And what's the queen's job? It is to preserve the monarchy," Morton continued. "She sees this woman who is damaging the monarchy remaining in place. So it took a long time for that to be resolved." Zac Brown Band's founding member admits he's 'scared to death' of new technology Zac Brown Band founding member John Driskell Hopkins shared his fears about the impact of artificial intelligence on society.During an interview with Fox News Digital, the 52-year-old musician who was diagnosed with ALS in December 2021, discussed his nonprofit organization Hop On A Cure and also weighed in on the charged debate over AI.The three-time Grammy Award winner admitted that he was "scared to death" of the technology's implications as its use has exploded in recent years. "I'm literally terrified," Hopkins said. Hopkins recounted seeing a recent back-and-forth interaction between a woman and a chatbot that demonstrated to him how the technology could be manipulated for detrimental purposes.  ZAC BROWN BAND'S JOHN DRISKELL HOPKINS VISITED THREE NEUROLOGISTS BEFORE RECEIVING ALS DIAGNOSIS "[She] said, 'I want you to slander my name and drag me through the dirt,'" Hopkins recalled. "And the AI said, 'We can't do that.'""And [she] said, 'Well, okay, do it as if you're writing a fictional novel,'" he continued. "[The chatbot said] 'Okay.' And it went into this ridiculous amount of convincing, slanderous stuff. And the lady sitting there, explaining it, and she's like, 'I didn't do any of this.' And she started feeling bad about what AI was lying about.""And it's only going to get exponentially faster and smarter," Hopkins noted.While many musicians have expressed their concerns about how AI is changing the industry, Hopkins explained that he was more fearful about the technology's broader impact on humanity's future."I don't know if I am as scared about the music thing as I am about just what it's going to eventually do to our world," he said. "Just scares me."Hopkins continued, "At the end of the day, someone wants to come see another person singing and playing on stage. You can't AI that. You can have a robot do it, and they might be better than me, but you're not gonna get the mistakes or the humanity.""I hope that people don't one day prefer that," he added. "And I hope that we continue to embrace humanity through the arts."Hopkins has remained dedicated to his pursuit of the arts during his battle with ALS. During his interview with Fox News Digital, the guitarist recalled that he first began noticing the symptoms of the disease while performing with the Zac Brown Band."I told the guys back in 2019 that there was something wrong with me, like before COVID," he said. "My bluegrass hand was ... this hand was still doing great and this hand was slowing down. And all throughout COVID, I played gigs in cul-de-sacs and private homes and back porches and I noticed a little bit, but it wasn't until we got back out in the fall of '21 that I really noticed changes, you know, above and beyond just me not being able to keep up with bluegrass ." ZAC BROWN BAND'S JOHN DRISKELL HOPKINS FIGHTS ALS DIAGNOSIS: 'CRYING SUCKS' He continued, "It was more like, I was laughing on stage, and my legs were locking up, you know, that kind of thing ... when you have this emotional reaction your body will tense up, and other things."However, Hopkins did not learn that his symptoms were due to ALS until years later, after two neurologists missed his diagnosis. Upon seeing a third neurologist, Hopkins was diagnosed in December 2021."Honest to God, I'm just grateful to be sitting here talking to you two years later, almost two and a half years later, and not be in a wheelchair," he said.Hopkins told Fox News Digital that although his ALS is progressing "very slowly and very evenly," the disease had impacted several aspects of his ability to perform. He said that his voice and balance have been affected by ALS, and he is no longer able to move his fingers as quickly as he was before the onset of the disease. While battling the symptoms of ALS, Hopkins has continued to perform with the Zac Brown Band, which is currently on tour. "We had rehearsals last month, and no one complained. So, I'm out there," he said with a laugh. "The minute everyone's like, 'Uh, dude, you need to kinda hold it back,' I will step away, but, you know, I'm so incredibly good-looking, they have to have me on stage."

New Orleans Jazz Fest 2024 under way; Rolling Stones to headline next week It looks like the third time is the charm as the 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival prepares, again, for The Rolling Stones to perform.The festival, which spans two weekends, opened Thursday with dozens of acts playing daily on 14 stages spread throughout the historic Fair Grounds race course. The Stones play next Thursday, May 2, tickets for which have long been sold out.In 2019, festival organizers thought they had landed the legendary rock band, but the appearance was canceled because lead singer Mick Jagger had heart surgery. They tried again in 2021, but a surge in COVID-19 cases ultimately forced the fest to cancel. JAY-Z'S 'MADE IN AMERICA' FESTIVAL CANCELLED FOR SECOND YEAR IN A ROW Now, says festival producer Quint Davis, "It's gonna be special."This will be the first time the Stones play Jazz Fest.Opening day acts include rock bands Widespread Panic and The Beach Boys, reggae artist Stephen Marley and jazz vocalist John Boutte."The talent is great, the weather is projected to be good and people's expectations are going to be met," Davis said.Blue skies, sunshine and temperatures in the 80s were forecast for opening day Thursday. Long lines of people were seen patiently waiting to buy big cups of iced tea, lemonade and coffee. Umbrellas, big hats and sunglasses were the accessories of the day.Similar weather was expected for the rest of the first weekend, which runs through Sunday and showcases performances by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jon Batiste, country megastar Chris Stapleton, R&B singer Fantasia, rock band Heart, Cajun fiddler Amanda Shaw and The Cute Guys, jazz pianist Patrice Rushen, and blues and folk artist Ruthie Foster.Walter Agnew of Round Lake, New York, said attending the festival had been on his bucket list since he retired from working at a chemical plant in 2020."COVID canceled my trip then but I finally made it here for the 2022 festival - and I came last year. This will be my third in a row," he said.Agnew said he's looking forward to Stapleton's performance on Saturday and Heart's on Sunday - and of course The Rolling Stones next week but "you really can't go wrong by any of the acts.""I'm just amazed at how they're able to put all this entertainment together in one spot," he said. "Of course it's going to be good."Ginger Schell, of New Orleans , is a regular Jazz Fest attendee. Asked why she continues to return, Schell said laughing, "It's everything. It's the music. It's the food. It's the music!"She said she and her family won't be able to see next week's performance by The Stones, noting the tickets were out of her budget."But we generally don't come for any one act in particular," she said. "We just park our gear in a spot in front of the festival stage and wander throughout the grounds and look forward to being surprised."Anticipation for the Stones' performance is palpable, Davis said."All I'm hearing is 'How can I get a ticket?'" he said of fans trying to see the marquee performance. "Unfortunately for some, that day sold out in like a day-and-a-half after tickets went on sale. I think people have just waited so long for this."The Rolling Stones in October released " Hackney Diamonds," their first album of original material since 2005 and their first without drummer Charlie Watts, who died in 2021. Though he hasn't seen a set list, Davis said fans can expect to hear a mix of greatest hits and new releases. No special guests are expected to perform with the Rolling Stones, but Davis said "never say never.""Just expect euphoria," he said laughing. "I think maybe we're going to need some ambulances on site because people are going to spontaneously combust from the excitement. And, they're playing in a daylight event. They're gonna be able to make eye contact with the audience.

"Everyone who bought a ticket for that day primarily bought one to see The Stones."Davis said tickets for the festival's other days remain available and can be purchased online through their website.Much of Jazz Fest celebrates the Indigenous music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana but the music encompasses nearly every style imaginable: blues, R&B, gospel, Cajun, Zydeco, Afro-Caribbean, folk, Latin, rock, rap, contemporary and traditional jazz, country, bluegrass and everything in between.Colombia's rhythms, from music to dance and food, also will be highlighted this year as part of the festival's cultural exchange.

Rebel Wilson's book published in UK with Sacha Baron Cohen claims redacted Rebel Wilson expressed her gratitude to her supporters and other women who she said have "shared their stories" about working with Sacha Baron Cohen after her allegations against the actor were redacted in the U.K. publication of her new memoir.In her book "Rebel Rising," the 44-year-old actress made shocking claims about Baron's behavior toward her during filming of the 2016 movie "The Brothers Grimsby," which he has strongly denied. The unredacted memoir was published in the U.S. by Simon & Schuster on April 2. A spokesperson for her U.K. publisher HarperCollins confirmed to People magazine that some passages had been blacked out in the British edition, which was released on Thursday.Wilson stood by her statements as she posted a photo on her Instagram story on Wednesday night, which was taken in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the first stop on her book tour."I want to thank all the people who have come forward and acknowledged my experiences with Sacha Baron Cohen," Wilson wrote on the image."Thank you for sharing your own stories with me," she added. "I'm so grateful to you and really appreciate it." SACHA BARON COHEN DENIES REBEL WILSON'S CLAIM HE WAS AN 'A--HOLE' ON MOVIE SET Wilson's lawyer Bryan Freedman echoed her sentiments in a joint statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday."Rebel and I want to thank all the women who have shared their stories with us about their experiences with Sacha Baron Cohen. We are grateful for their strength and bravery," he said.A representative for Harper Collins told People, "We are publishing every page, but for legal reasons, in the U.K. edition, we are redacting most of one page with some other small redactions and an explanatory note."The statement continued, "Those sections are a very small part of a much bigger story and we're excited for readers to know 's story when the book is released."On Thursday, the U.K. outlet The Guardian reported that the entire chapter about the "Borat" star, titled "Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A--holes," was redacted in the Australia and New Zealand editions, which are set to be published on May 8.According to the outlet, the U.K. edition included an explanatory note that Wilson's version of events in the chapter "can't be printed here due to peculiarities of the law in England and Wales."A spokesperson for Cohen, 52, told Fox News Digital, "Harper Collins did not fact check this chapter in the book prior to publication and took the sensible but terribly belated step of deleting Rebel Wilson's defamatory claims once presented with evidence that they were false.""Printing falsehoods is against the law in the U.K. and Australia; this is not a 'peculiarity' as Ms. Wilson said, but a legal principle that has existed for many hundreds of years. This is a clear victory for Sacha Baron Cohen and confirms what we said from the beginning - that this is demonstrably false, in a shameful and failed effort to sell books."In "The Brothers Grimsby," Wilson and Cohen starred together as a husband and wife of nine kids. Later, Wilson accused Cohen of "harassing" her on the movie set during a radio show interview, according to Variety.She alleged that Cohen repeatedly asked her to appear naked in a scene and eventually hired a body double for the nude scene after she refused.Wilson also accused Cohen of telling her to "stick [her] finger up [his] butt" while filming the last scene, despite the move not being included in the script.In her memoir, the actress detailed her experiences while working with Cohen, describing how uncomfortable she felt while filming "The Brothers Grimsby."

"I'm sharing my story now because the more women talk about things like this, hopefully the less it happens."A representative for Cohen denied her claims, telling Fox News Digital, "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of 'The Brothers Grimsby.'"After Cohen denied the allegations, Wilson insisted that she was telling the truth, saying she was "humiliated and degraded as a person" on the movie set. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "That was something that happened 10 years ago, and obviously I've moved past it now, but it was my worst professional experience," she admitted in an April 1 interview on "Today.""Just feeling humiliated and degraded as a person, I just thought it's worth sharing in the book because there's probably a lot of people out there that have had the same experiences," she continued.Wilson also claimed that since her allegations about Cohen's behavior have been getting attention, "I've had a lot of women reach out and say that they've had similar experiences with this guy."Prior to the release of "Rebel Rising," Wilson spoke about the chapter of her book dedicated to Cohen on social media. She originally neglected to name names, instead referring to him as an "a--hole" that she'd worked with, but after he allegedly attempted to stop her from publishing her book, she called him out directly."I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers," Wilson wrote on her Instagram story at the end of March. "The 'a--hole' that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen ."During her interview with "Today," Wilson admitted she wasn't surprised that Cohen is denying her accusations against him, saying, "Obviously, knowing his character, I assumed he would react in this way.""Writing a memoir, the book gets fully legally vetted," she explained, "so obviously there are tons of people to back what I'm saying in the book, the book is 100% honest and truthful."

Bernie Williams is back in center - only this time Lincoln Center for New York Philharmonic debut Bernie Williams was in the center, just like the old days at Yankee Stadium . Only this time he was at Lincoln Center alongside conductor Gustavo Dudamel and making his New York Philharmonic debut.After spending 16 years gaining fame while roaming the grass where Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle once trod, Williams was on the stage made famous by Leonard Bernstein and where guitar great Andrés Segovia once played. NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC HEADING TO CHINA FOR 5 CONCERTS THIS SUMMER Williams performed "Moving Forward," a jazz-infused work he composed in 2009 that was newly arranged by Jeff Tyzik as part of the orchestra's spring gala on Wednesday night at David Geffen Hall, a public exclamation of the former All-Star outfielder's second career as a classical guitarist.A day before the performance, he recalled going to the Manhattan School of Music from 2012-16 to learn his new trade and earn a bachelor's degree."A lot of these people were running laps around me and I had to come to the realization that I had to work as hard as have I ever worked upon anything, including being a Major League Baseball player," he said. "I had to put in the work, and none of that stuff that I did prior was going to help me here. I really had to reinvent myself. In learning all of the stuff that I learned being a professional baseball player, some of the stuff really helped me in performing under pressure, putting in the work in and being relentless."Dudamel, who becomes music director in 2026-27, gave Williams a glowing introduction that was repeatedly interrupted by applause as he recounted Williams' background at an event to raise money for music education."Bernie grew up in Puerto Rico and I think that maybe he had some other opportunities outside music," Dudamel said.Wearing a dark suit and tie with patent leather loafers, Williams played his 4 1/2-minute composition backed by the Philharmonic, joined by student musicians.Now 55, Williams signed with the Yankees on his 17th birthday in 1985, made it to the major leagues six years later and became a four-time World Series champion , five-time All-Star and the 1998 AL batting champion. He hit .297 with 287 homers, 1,257 RBIs and 147 stolen bases for the Yankees from 1991-2006.He began playing guitar when he was 6 or 7 in Puerto Rico, learning from his mother's friends, and listened to the guitar work of his dad, Bernabé. Bernie brought his guitar to the ballpark and played in the clubhouse lounge to MTV tunes picked by teammate Derek Jeter."When you're on the road, there's a certain amount of time that you spend in the room," Williams said. "A lot of people play video games, a lot of people just watch TV. So I used to kind of like split time between watching TV, ordering room service and playing guitar between."He used to play in a paint room under the right-field stands at the old Yankee Stadium, where Ron Guidry had left a drum set that Paul O'Neill took over. Williams brought an amplifier, and they jammed after batting practice and during rain delays.A particular thrill occurred before a game against Minnesota in 1998, when Bruce Springsteen walked into the clubhouse, spoke with some of the Yankees players and signed Williams' guitar, writing: "To Bernie, If you ever get tired of baseball ..." The two joined to play "Glory Days" at Joe Torre's Safe at Home Foundation gala in 2007.By 2003, Williams released his first recording, "The Journey Within." His second, "Moving Forward," earned a Latin Grammy nomination in 2009 for best instrumental album, and he's contemplating his third, which he hopes will have more daring playing and writing."Anybody can enjoy a good piece of music and some of that music is able to move people in ways that nothing else can," Williams said. "So understanding those emotions that come with being a musician I think has taken me in a great journey and it's just such an awesome process to have in contrast to what I used to do in sports. It's great to have an opportunity to do both things in one lifetime."His mother was adamant about him going to college. Williams received a degree in 2016 after the four-year undergraduate program. He studied guitar with Christopher Rosenberg, harmony, composition and improvisation with Garry Dial and writing with John Pagano. Williams now serves on the school's board of trustees.Ahead of this week's performance, Williams spent from April 9-13 performing at the Café Carlyle, the celebrated Upper East Side nightspot where Bobby Short entertained New York's high society from 1968-2004."Everybody's so close and you hear a pin drop and everybody's so attentive," he said. "It's such a unique experience, at least for me. I'm used to playing in front of 50,000 people, everybody yelling and screaming their hearts out. So it's, yeah, quite a contrast."Philharmonic CEO Gary Ginstling said after Wednesday morning's rehearsal that 30 orchestra musicians lined up to get balls, caps and shirts autographed by Williams as he posed for photos. Cellist Patrick Jee rehearsed in a Yankees jersey already signed by Torre and Jeter."I've never seen them all so giddy about one of our artists," Ginstling said.   Kim Kardashian visits White House, will fight for criminal justice and learn with 'every administration' Kim Kardashian is committed to her advocacy work no matter who's in the Oval Office.Kardashian and four of President Biden's pardon recipients met with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday afternoon for a discussion about their lives after incarceration and how Second Chance policies have benefited them and their businesses.  The reality star began her short speech by thanking the second in command. "I just wanted to start off by thanking you, Madam Vice President, for hosting this event today.

Apes spotted on horseback at San Francisco beach for 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' promotional shoot San Francisco tourists and locals were in for a shock on Wednesday, April 24, when they spotted apes riding horseback. Not real apes, of course, but actors dressed up as ones, which looked pretty realistic. This spectacle was at Crissy Field in San Francisco, where three actors dressed as apes rode along the beach on horses with a small camera crew following alongside them.  THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND CLIMACTIC SPACE-RELATED MOVIES THAT WILL CAPTIVATE YOU THROUGH BOUNDLESS JOURNEYS The three apes on horseback were being filmed, with the Golden Gate Bridge as a stunning backdrop, for a commercial promoting "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

"It was like someone putting a hot poker through my leg really fast. But that wasn't what was painful about it. The most painful part ... It was this tiny hospital in the middle of nowhere England in the '90s. Their X-ray machine wasn't working, so they got this long cue tip and wrapped it in gauze and dipped it in iodine and poked it through the hole to make sure there were no bits."Jack admitted that the shooting hd been a complete "accident" that had happened while their parents, Sharon and Ozzy, were out of town.  LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

I was like, 'I'm just a little anxious, kind of fried and just on edge,' and then the next day, same thing - wasn't dipping below 100. Maybe the lowest I saw it was in the kind of low 90s, and then my watch sent me an alert, and it was like, 'Hey, your heart rate's abnormally high.' I guess it's some kind of mechanism within it, because my resting heart rate, when I sleep, my heart rate goes down to like high 40s, low 50s kind of thing."After being forced to leave the show, Osbourne went home and visited his cardiologist and was on a heart monitor for two weeks to make sure his heart rate returned to a normal level, which it did, after a few days.  Fox News Digital's Janelle Ash and Larry Fink contributed to this post.  Orlando Bloom confesses to extreme wellness trend that gave him 'sensation of death' When it comes to his wellness journey, Orlando Bloom is willing to go to any and all extremes.In a recent interview, the "Lord of the Rings" alum detailed his daily routine of exercise and diet and explained why he's not afraid to try new things to better his health and overall well-being - including a South American ritual called Kambo. "Kambo is a ceremony where your skin is burnt with these little dots, and then you put up the poison from the Amazon - it's like a frog poison," Bloom, who is currently promoting his new Peacock series "Orlando Bloom: To the Edge," told GQ . " You have this sensation of death and you kind of purge your body. But it's incredible." ORLANDO BLOOM BRAGS ABOUT KATY PERRY PERFORMING AT KING CHARLES' CORONATION: 'SHE SANG FOR THE PRESIDENT TOO' "They say that the Amazonian warriors have done this historically to heighten their senses for hunting. And I certainly had this feeling of being clearer and wide open from that, but it was pretty brutal in terms of what it does to the body in the moment. It only takes 15 minutes, but it's a real purge - it's coming out both ends at different times sometimes. Although that didn't happen the first time, but in subsequent times that I've tried it."According to Medical News Today , Kambo - a traditional healing ritual performed in many South American countries - uses the poison of the giant monkey frog to purify the body and treat various health conditions. A shaman healer typically performs the ceremony, which involves burning the person's shoulder, leg or foot, and then applying a kambo secretion to the wound. While it may seem extreme, Bloom said he's all about expanding his horizons.  "I'm into trying things, as you can see. I think the lesson from the show was to be less impulsive and more considered. But when it comes to a possibility for growing or evolving, I'm always going to take that opportunity because I think what I'm here to do is to keep growing and learning. So if it is something like a plant medicine or a Kambo ceremony or a fast, I'll try it and see if it works."Another surprising thing he's tried? Ingesting bentonite clay. "It was more of a cleanse that started with a meal and this bentonite clay with these herbal pills. It went over five weeks. And in the last week it was virtually no solid food - it was just this clay and this water and these pills, which was pretty intense, but it was cleaning the system. I thought that was really unique.""I kind of intermittent fast every now and again, but I mix it up. So one morning I won't have breakfast, one evening I won't have dinner because I want to keep my body guessing. I actually think that everybody's different and it's what works for you. And I'm always just trying to figure out what works for me." As he continues working on himself, Bloom said it's also important to continue growing as a partner to fiancée Katy Perry and father to his two children - Bloom and Perry share 3-year-old daughter, Daisy, and he is also dad to 13-year-old son, Flynn, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr."We have a family bed. So Katy will be like, 'Thank God for the day. I'm just grateful in every way.' And Daisy will go, 'Mommy, daddy,' and we'll have this cute moment," he said. "I'll say [the Buddhist chant] 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,' because that's part of my practice. And then we'll embark on the day.
