LOS ANGELES - The cast of "Insatiable" defended their new television show against accusations of fat-shaming, but unusually harsh reviews suggest the US series has more to worry about than the debate around weight and popularity.The Netflix series, billed as a dark revenge comedy, is about a downtrodden, obese high schooler, Patty the Fatty, who suddenly loses weight, gains popularity and sets out for payback.An online petition ahead of its release on Saturday had called for the show to be canceled, claiming it appeared to promote the narrative that women had to be thin in order to be successful and happy, and that the show would encourage eating disorders.Creator Lauren Gussis said the trailer "did exactly what it needed to do by starting a conversation around the...

Bear Force One: VIP koala takes seat on UK flight
LONDON - A koala scaled new heights this week after flying by passenger plane from Germany to Scotland to become Edinburgh Zoo's newest resident. Tanami, a 19-month-old male Queensland koala, had his own seat on Friday's Eurowings flight from Dusseldorf to the Scottish capital, as sensitive animals cannot be placed in the hold on aircraft.
