On 'Bite Me,' Reneé Rapp punches back

Reneé Rapp's second album, “Bite Me,” gave the 25-year-old multi-hyphenate an outlet to work through the whirlwind that has been her career so far. She toured her first album, “Snow Angel,” left HBO's “The Sex Lives of College Girls” and played Regina in the 2024 musical remake of “Mean Girls.” Rapp told The Associated Press that she approached the project with intention. She said that process was grueling, but also fun. She hopes the result empowers fans, too. The album is out Friday. She'll launch a tour in September.

From ‘crossfire’ To ‘ceasefire’: C Span Executive Launches Program That Promotes Common Ground

From 'Crossfire' to 'CeaseFire': C-SPAN executive launches program that promotes common ground

For many years when he worked at CNN, Sam Feist was a producer for “Crossfire,” which highlighted often loud political differents. Now that he is CEO of C-SPAN, Feist is looking for a different approach. The network will soon debut a new show, “CeaseFire,” that promotes conversations between political opposites trying to reach common ground. Feist has selected Dasha Burns of “Politico” to host the new program, which is debuting this fall. “Crossfire” arguably led American politicians into a more polarized place, now obvious in its politics. Feists hopes that “CeaseFire” can show Americans ways that its leaders can work together.

Judge dismisses lawsuit filed by Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution in fatal 'Rust' set shooting

A New Mexico judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” The judge in a ruling made public Wednesday dismissed the case without prejudice for lack of any significant action with the claim. Baldwin's attorneys say settlement discussions have been ongoing and that they have been waiting to prosecute the case pending the outcome of those talks. Baldwin had alleged defamation, saying that prosecutors and investigators intentionally mishandled evidence. A judge last summer dismissed a charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Alec Baldwin talks his love for 'Peanuts' and the 'immeasurable' effects of his trial

Alec Baldwin says the year since his trial ended has been a lot better than the years before it. The actor spoke to The Associated Press at San Diego’s Comic-Con International, where he was part of a panel on 75 years of Charlie Brown and “Peanuts.” Baldwin says he still can't believe what happened on the day when his trial for involuntary manslaughter in the shooting of a cinematographer fell apart and his case was dismissed. He says he's become especially philosophical about the things he wants, and that many of them are embodied by Charlie Brown and “Peanuts.” The characters remain a big part of the actor's life since he still has young children.
