Mexico says last goodbye to legendary singer Jose Jose
MEXICO CITY — Thousands of tearful fans said a final goodbye in Mexico City on Wednesday to superstar singer Jose Jose, whose death last month triggered national mourning and a family feud worthy of a telenovela.Huge crowds thronged the Palace of Fine Arts in the heart of the Mexican capital to file past a gold-plated coffin and cry for "The Prince of Song," whose velvety voice and ballads of heartbreak made him one of the most successful Latin American singers of all time.A Mexican air force plane flew Jose Jose's ashes — half of them, anyway — to his native Mexico City from Miami, where the musician died of complications of pancreatic cancer on Sept. 28 at age 71.The other half remained in Florida, under a grudging deal negotiated between his eldest children, Jose...

Chalamet goes unto the breach with Henry V role
BUSAN, South Korea — Hollywood A-lister Timothee Chalamet admits he was intimidated by the prospect of playing the title role in a new film version of Shakespeare's Henry V, but then he also likes a challenge."To do Shakespeare and be an American playing an English king is properly intimidating," said Chalamet, in Korea to promote "The King" at the 24th Busan International Film Festival."But I try to work on things that are challenging, things that are scary," he said.The 23-year-old American was Oscar-nominated for his breakout turn in "Call Me by Your Name" (2017) and said in some ways he could relate to the tale of the English king who was thrown into the adult world at an early age."Even right now there's a room full of adults and...
