Showbiz apes find peace through painting in Florida retirement
WAUCHULA, Florida — One of them worked alongside Clint Eastwood, others acted in the remake of sci-fi classic "Planet of the Apes", while yet another was the darling favorite of Michael Jackson.They are the 53 chimpanzees and orangutans who live in a unique sanctuary in central Florida.All of these great apes were raised by humans and lack the basic survival skills to ever live in the wild. They do not know how to gather food, and the mothers would be incapable of caring for their offspring.For that reason, they had no other place to go when Hollywood or scientific research labs had no more use for them, or when they grew too big and powerful for their celebrity owners to continue caring for them. The lucky ones make the final journey to this oasis, officially known as the...

Roman Polanski
Fury as Polanski's new film tops French 'Oscar' nominations
PARIS — Roman Polanski's new film "An Officer and a Spy" topped the list of nominations on Wednesday for the "French Oscars" sparking fury from feminists.The controversial director has been wanted in the US for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl since 1978 and is persona non grata in Hollywood.His period drama about the Dreyfus affair, which rocked France at the turn of the 20th century, is in line for 12 Cesars, the French equivalent of the Oscars.The head of the French film academy Alain Terzian said it "should not take moral positions" about giving awards.But their choice was swiftly condemned by feminists and some film critics."If rape was an art, give all the Cesars to Polanski," tweeted the French women's group, Osez le...

Britain's Prince Andrew
UK's Prince Andrew urged to cooperate with US over Epstein
LONDON — Lawyers representing alleged victims of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday urged Britain's Prince Andrew to help US investigators, after a prosecutor said he had given "zero cooperation".US lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents five women allegedly assaulted by Epstein, said the Duke of York has "a moral obligation" to meet with the FBI and that his failure to do so was "a disservice to the victims"."It's long overdue for him to do it, or to explain why he will not do it, and he's done neither," she told BBC Radio."If he's done nothing wrong, which appears to be what he has claimed, then why won't he talk to law enforcement?"Andrew, 59, has strenuously denied claims he had sex with a 17-year-old...

Weinstein accuser details assault, challenged over emails
NEW YORK — One of Harvey Weinstein's main accusers told his rape trial on Monday that the ex-Hollywood producer forcibly performed oral sex on her in a children's bedroom in his New York home.Defense lawyers ferociously challenged Mimi Haleyi's account during cross-examination, saying emails she sent Weinstein showed the pair were in "a consensual relationship."Haleyi, a production assistant on reality TV show "Project Runway," cried as she told the Manhattan court that Weinstein sexually assaulted her in July 2006 while she was on her period.She described how the "Pulp Fiction" producer, then three times her weight, initially appeared "friendly" before backing her into a bedroom with children's drawings on the wall."He was...

MADRID — A court in Spain said on Tuesday it has opened an investigation into accusations that Spanish jewelry chain TOUS sold items it falsely claimed were made entirely of gold or silver, a charge the firm denied.Spain's National Court opened the inquiry after receiving a complaint from a consumer group that some of the company's products "are not entirely made of gold as indicated in its advertising," a court spokeswoman said.An investigating judge has summoned for questioning a TOUS manager as well as a representative of an independent company which certifies the quality of its products, the spokeswoman added.The National Court, which handles major criminal cases, took over because "there may be numerous victims across Spain," she said.TOUS, which has more...
