Elon Musk‘s erratic posting on X, formerly Twitter, has come back to haunt him once again as a 22-year-old Jewish man pursues a defamation case over tweets in which the tech mogul baselessly suggested the recent college graduate was an undercover federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi during a street fight between far-right groups. Musk’s excruciating March 27 deposition in the matter, which a judge ordered released to the public over the objections of the CEO’s lawyer, and was first obtained by HuffPost, reveals the extent to which...

The one Law & Order: Svu character that TVLine readers ask about the most is Det. Terry Bruno, played by Kevin Kane. And we get it: A recurring role in the Bensonverse since Season 24, in addition to a few one-off appearances as different characters before that, has made Kane a full-time member of the squad (even if he technically remains a guest star). Add in Kane’s portrayal of his intriguing character — a cop who’s so rich he never has to work another day in his life, yet chooses to show up for the most grueling of cases?...

Cease all on-foot pursuit of neon-colored energy-drink vans! Quit wearing all beaded bracelets lifted from life-size sex dolls! Maddie Flynn, the teenager who went missing in Law & Order: Svu‘s Season 25 premiere, has been found.
Thursday’s episode of the procedural reveals that Maddie had, indeed, been trafficked by the same “George” who doped up Tanya Garcia and left her for dead in a Jersey motel. The good news: Maddie is alive! The bad news: She’s been made to look like a boy, loaded up on fentanyl and sold to a pervert with a thing for trees.

Santa Fe, N.M. — A jury was selected Wednesday in the trial of Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film armorer charged with involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fatal accident on the set of “Rust.”
Twelve jurors were chosen — seven men and five women — along with four alternates, all men. The opening statements will be held Thursday.
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer began the questioning by asking the pool of 70 potential jurors to raise their hands if they had seen media coverage of the case. Most hands went up.
Kari Morrissey, one of two special prosecutors, also focused on media coverage in her opening question.
“Because of all the press coverage, that makes it difficult to get a fair and impartial jury,” Morrissey said. “All of us can agree that frequently the press gets it wrong.”
Gutierrez Reed faces up to three years in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering. She...

Over two years after the on-set shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Alec Baldwin could finally be going to trial for the fatal tragedy early this summer.
“So, what I’m going to do is I’m going to look at my schedule, and check the jury selection. I’m going to get going to see if we can’t compromise between the July trial dates and the June trial dates,” declared Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer today at a virtual hearing for the involuntary manslaughter case. “I’ll put that order out to you …Monday,” the New Mexico official added of a February 26 date.
Baldwin shot Hutchins on October 21, 2021 on the Indie Western’s Bonanza Creek Ranch set just outside Santa Fe after a gun he was holding during a rehearsal discharged a live round. Rust director Joel Souza was wounded in the shooting, but recovered soon afterwards.

San Francisco, July 7 (Ians) Alarmed at Instagram Threads’ steep rise, Elon Musk-run Twitter has threatened to sue Meta for allegedly using its trade secrets and poaching its former employees to build the new “copycat” platform that saw over 30 million users in just 24 hours.
Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accusing the company of engaging in “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property”, reports Semafor.
“Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information,” Spiro wrote in a letter.
“Twitter reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seek both civil remedies and injunctive relief without further notice to prevent any further retention, disclosure, or use of its intellectual property by Meta,” the Twitter lawyer added.

It’s a real study that Gareth cites in his call to Dermot O’Leary’s radio show. Published in the British Medical Journal in 1993, Scanlon, Luben, Scanlon and Singleton asked the question “Is Friday the 13th bad for your health?” Yes, was their conclusion, due to an increased risk of hospital admission as a result of transport accidents. “Staying at home is recommended.”
Trust the writers of Inside No. 9 – a show where dark fates lurk around every corner – to devise a scheme whereby a character takes the precautionary measure of staying at home on Friday the 13th, only for their wife to be killed in a transport accident right outside their front door on Saturday the 14th. Against gods with this capricious and cruel a sense of humour, nobody can win.
