According to Bowen Yang , Sydney Sweeney was “game” for anything during her March 2024 viral “ SNL ” hosting gig. Yang said during First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” that he at first was concerned about the “Bowen Straight” sketch needing an intimacy coordinator. The skit has Sweeney finding out Yang is straight, and then having an affair with the openly queer cast member. Yet Sweeney assured Yang that “ Euphoria ” more than prepared her for their onscreen “SNL” intimate scene. “Pitching ‘Bowen Straight’ to Sydney Sweeney was really fun,” Yang said. “I just remember being like, ‘We’re going to need an intimacy coordinator for this and it’s going to be completely up to your comfort,’ and then she was like ‘Bowen, I’m on “Euphoria,” it’s not going to be anything.’ So that was really fun and she was so game for it and she was wonderful.” Sweeney will reprise her role of Cassie for “Euphoria” Season 3. Sweeney previously told Who What Wear that she is looking forward to returning to the series after a hiatus. “I actually like [the delay] because there’s so much room for growth for both me as a person and also Cassie as a character,” Sweeney said, while teasing of the upcoming storyline, “It’s going to be very, very wild.” “Euphoria” Season 3 will now go into production in January 2025 and consist of eight episodes. Meanwhile, Sweeney is also portraying boxer Christy Martin in David Michôd’s biopic, appears in Ron Howard’s “Eden,” and will transform into Kim Novak for Colman Domingo’s directorial debut “Scandalous” about the alleged romance between Novak and Sammy Davis Jr. Sweeney told Vanity Fair that her “SNL” monologue mocking her pinup appeal was part of her political statement about the faux feminism of Hollywood. “I actually had to push for a lot of it ,” she said of the monologue. “Some people were a little nervous about it, but in real life, I’d like to say I’m a funny person. And sometimes I wish that I could address more [things with] my ‘Syd’ self, but I find that with social media there’s such a lapse in how things are communicated. It’s hard to get things across in the way that you intend to — they can be misconstrued. So being able to do it onstage in very Syd fashion, I loved it. I felt like I was taking the power back.”

Officers used the city's muscular surveillance system. Investigators analyzed DNA samples, fingerprints and internet addresses. Police went door-to-door looking for witnesses. When an arrest came five days later, those sprawling investigative efforts shared credit with an alert civilian's instincts.

(AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey) Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family, was arrested Monday in the killing of Brian Thompson, who headed one of the United States’ largest medical insurance companies. He remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. By late evening, prosecutors in Manhattan had added a charge of murder, according to an online court docket. He's expected to be extradited to New York eventually.

Asked at Monday's arraignment whether he needed a public defender, Mangione asked whether he could “answer that at a future date.” Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after the McDonald's customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Police in Altoona, about 233 miles (375 kilometers) west of New York City, were soon summoned. They arrived to find Mangione sitting at a table in the back of the restaurant, wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop, according to a Pennsylvania police criminal complaint. He initially gave them a fake ID, but when an officer asked Mangione whether he’d been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake,” the complaint says. When he pulled his mask down at officers' request, “we knew that was our guy,” rookie Officer Tyler Frye said at a news conference in Hollidaysburg. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Manhattan news conference that Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione also had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America." A law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the document included a line in which Mangione claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Pennsylvania prosecutor Peter Weeks said in court that Mangione was found with a passport and $10,000 in cash — $2,000 of it in foreign currency. Mangione disputed the amount. Thompson, 50, was killed last Wednesday as he walked alone to a midtown Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. Police quickly came to see the shooting as a targeted attack by a gunman who appeared to wait for Thompson, came up behind him and fired a 9 mm pistol. Investigators have said “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on ammunition found near Thompson’s body. The words mimic a phrase used to criticize the insurance industry. A poster issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows a wanted unknown suspect. (FBI via AP) From surveillance video, New York investigators gathered that the shooter fled by bike into Central Park, emerged, then took a taxi to a northern Manhattan bus terminal. Once in Pennsylvania, he went from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, “trying to stay low-profile” by avoiding cameras, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said. A grandson of a wealthy, self-made real estate developer and philanthropist, Mangione is a cousin of a current Maryland state legislator. Mangione was valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, where his 2016 graduation speech lauded his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” He went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” An NYPD police officer and K-9 dog search around a lake in Central Park, Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) Luigi Nicholas Mangione worked for a time for the car-buying website TrueCar and left in 2023, CEO Jantoon Reigersman said by email. From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of Honolulu tourist mecca Waikiki. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. "There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back," Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym.

(AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. Although the gunman obscured his face during the shooting, he left a trail of evidence in New York, including a backpack he ditched in Central Park, a cellphone found in a pedestrian plaza, a water bottle and a protein bar wrapper. In the days after the shooting, the NYPD collected hundreds of hours of surveillance video and released multiple clips and still images in hopes of enlisting the public’s eyes to help find a suspect. “This combination of old-school detective work and new-age technology is what led to this result today,” Tisch said at the New York news conference. ___ Scolforo reported from Altoona and Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

DALLAS -- The Hilton Anatole has become Major League Baseball's top destination this week as teams converge for the winter meetings with writers, agents and even some fans circling the vast lobby floors. The biggest offseason news came down Sunday night, when the New York Mets and star free agent slugger Juan Soto reportedly agreed on a 15-year, $765 million deal, which would be the largest contract ever given to a professional athlete. That was a key talking point when managers started meeting with the media on Monday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez reflected on when he was Soto's first manager in the big leagues back in 2018. "This kid, he was different," Martinez said. "The ball comes off his bat differently. The way he approaches the hitting was way different than a lot of kids I've seen. But the one thing that I always remember about him, the first conversation I had, the first thing that came out of his mouth when I asked him what motivates him, what drives him, and he just came out and said, 'I love baseball.' Truly you can see it in him. He loves playing the game." The Red Sox were among the clubs in the mix for Soto. Boston manager Alex Cora didn't get into specific details, but he enjoyed the organization's pursuit of the four-time All Star. "It was fun in a way, you know, to get to know people and players of that status," Cora said. "It's amazing. The kid, he gets it. He gets it. Let me put it that way." Royals manager Matt Quatraro, meanwhile, spoke about the impact such a monumental contract may have on smaller market teams in order to compete in today's market. "We have to be creative. We have to put the best 26 guys on a roster or the best 40 guys on a roster, not the best one or two," Quatraro said. "At the end of the day, you have a chance to compete against those guys. Soto is going to hit four to five times a night. Those are impactful at-bats, but there's other ways to combat that with a full 26-man roster." Sasaki Posted Outside of the Soto reaction, Monday's other main storyline - at least going into the afternoon hours - centered on Japanese ace right-hander Roki Sasaki officially being posted. The 23-year-old phenom is available to sign as a free agent from Tuesday through 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 23. The rumor mill was churning with plenty of speculation and talk about where Sasaki might sign. He was just one of many big-name players being discussed on Monday. The list of top free agents behind Soto includes pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried and infielders Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso and Christian Walker. On the trade front, much attention is being placed on White Sox left-handed starter Garrett Crochet. It was a relatively quiet Day 1 through the standard working hours, although things are always subject to change at meetings of this nature. Tito is Back Terry Francona joked that his desire to manage again resurfaced when his daughters went on a 10-day trip to Europe. "I watched the grandkids. That was the one day I thought maybe I'll go back to baseball," Francona said, laughing. All joking aside, Francona said it simply happened that when the Reds reached out, the timing felt right. He's healthy and refreshed as he's set to enter his 24th season as a manager. "I had a really good year and maybe I just needed that," Francona, 65, said. "Then, when these guys called, it just felt right." Honoring Mays The winter meetings kicked off with MLB announcing that its annual charity auction during the event would help revitalize Willie Mays Park in the late Hall of Famer's hometown of Fairfield, Ala. At a news conference, April Brown, MLB's senior vice president of social responsibility and diversity, said the vision for the project includes access for all levels of players, from youth leagues to advanced levels. "This effort will not just be MLB alone," Brown said. "We have the blessing of so many connected to his legacy and that have the mission to instill the love of our game that Willie had to all of the youth in the area growing up in the neighborhood where he grew up." The auction, which features items from every major league club, runs through Thursday. --Drew Davison, Field Level MediaMaxwell Wealth Strategies Inc. Raises Stock Holdings in Alphabet Inc.

Three eyewitnesses separately told Mission Local that the driver intentionally rammed the pedestrian. Samuel, one onlooker who was sitting by the intersection, witnessed the incident. “For me, that’s attempted murder,” he said. After she was hit, the victim threw her coffee at the car and banged on it, he added. The driver then sped north on Shotwell Street, but had to make a U-turn before the bollards; the street is closed to vehicular traffic to dissuade prostitution. “She was trying to flee,” said another passerby. The driver then escaped via 21st Street. No matter what happens across the country, Mission Local remains your source of in-depth San Francisco reporting .

Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn MastodonCNN's Van Jones admits Democrats are 'relieved' after Kamala's humiliating 'brat to flat' loss CNN star Van Jones' voice cracks as Kamala Harris' election hopes fade View the full results of the US election via our live-updating maps and charts By CHARLIE SPIERING, SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER, WASHINGTON, DC Published: 18:46 EST, 12 December 2024 | Updated: 18:56 EST, 12 December 2024 e-mail View comments CNN 's Van Jones revealed Thursday that Democrats should be relieved that Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election , allowing them the opportunity to have a 'reckoning' in the party about the future. Jones participated on a DealBook New York Times panel of professional Republican and Democratic political operatives as well as media figures examining the aftermath of the 2024 presidential elections. He said that Harris only got worse in the presidential campaign after she took over from President Joe Biden in July. ‘Kamala’s campaign went from brat to flat and it was obvious,' he said, referring to the viral online memes of musical artist Charli XCX describing Harris as 'brat .' The campaign seized the moment to proclaim Kamala Harris' 'brat summer' which drove TikTok memes but did not ultimately prevail in the election. 'There was a moment when she first got in there, she was loose and she seemed to be saying "f it" and people could relate to that,' Jones said. 'Then it got super professional, super slicked up, it became talking point bingo and people didn’t stick with her.’ He embraced the party's devastating loss to Republicans in the 2024 election, with no majority in the House or the Senate , and with a solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court . ‘Kamala Harris promised us freedom, well she delivered it to us, because now we’re free from having to run anything in Washington, DC ,' Jones said. 'That’s not what we were signing up for but that’s what we got.’ Vice President Kamala Harris delivers a concession speech for the 2024 presidential election Jones criticized the Democratic party for pushing out the 'rebels' who were once Democrats, such as Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who felt alienated by the party and endorsed Trump in 2024. 'There's something that's happened in this party where the rebels in this party no longer feel like they have a place, and we've got to be able to talk about that stuff honestly,' he said. Jones, a former administration official for President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden criticized Biden for running for re-election in 2024, when Democrats expected him to be a one term president. 'I love him, he should have walked away and let other people in this party step up to the bat, he didn’t, and we paid the price,' he said. Van Jones was sharply critical of the left-wing activist driving the Democratic party Jones also criticized leftist activists for 'dehumanizing' others to build up their own political and social status. 'I love all our movements but there is a moral flaw when every movement has to put somebody down,' he said. Jones criticized groups like 'Black Lives Matter' for suggesting that 'all white people were racist.' 'That is not going to work ... the way it lands though with people is that you're calling people names. There's gotta be a better way to say it,' he said.
