The ghostly topic came up when talking about the 2016 paramomornal movie Personal Shopper. In the film, she plays a medium and personal shopper in search for her dead twin brother’s spirit. (She also spent a lot of time with somewhat “undead” vampires in her role for the Twilight series). “I talk to them,” Stewart, 29, answered when asked if she believed in ghosts. “If I’m in a weird, small town, making a movie, and I’m in a strange apartment, I will literally be like, ‘No, please, I cannot deal....

The Spencer actress told Rob Licuria of Hollywood gossip website Gold Derby that she would be interested in playing Diana again at a different point in the princess’s life. “If I played her at a different time in her life, it would be different. It was bottomlessly fascinating,” said the actress also known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga. “I would be so into doing another one. I want to play her again....

The girl, who was six weeks and three days pregnant, was deemed ineligible to receive an abortion and had to travel to Indiana, where the ban has not yet taken effect, in order to have the procedure. The girl was denied an abortion in Ohio because the state bans the procedure six weeks into a woman’s pregnancy when a fetal heartbeat might be detected. CNN’s State of The Union host Dana Bash asked Noem: “Will the state of South Dakota going forward force a 10-year-old in that very same situation to have a baby?...

The midfielders have been battling to be fit for the last-16 second leg in the French capital and both missed Saturday’s 3-1 LaLiga win over Getafe. Kroos, who particularly impressed in Madrid’s 3-1 first-leg win, has been struggling due to a knee ligament sprain, while Modric has a hamstring problem. However, both returned to training on Sunday and will travel to France for the showdown with Unai Emery’s men....

Word of the team's decision to can its coach came Friday, after the Texans' latest loss in a miserable season. Wade Phillips was restored to the role of interim coach, which he held earlier this season after Kubiak was felled by a mini stroke. Owner Bob McNair made the announcement with his team 2-11, having lost its past 11 games. In an oddity, the Houston Astros — the worst team in Major League Baseball — won more recently than the Texans, a team that entered 2013 expected to be a Super Bowl contender....

CONCORD, N.C. -- Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick led the final Sprint Cup Series practice Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. But the bigger news might be who was 23rd -- series points leader Matt Kenseth. Kenseth, who will start the Bank of America 500 from the 20th spot Saturday night, has struggled throughout the weekend as he clings to a three-point lead on Jimmie Johnson, a 25-point lead on Kevin Harvick, a 32-point lead on Jeff Gordon and a 35-point lead on Kyle Busch with six races left in the season....

Busch, speaking during the Stewart-Haas Racing portion of the NASCAR media week at the Charlotte Convention Center, did dispute the characterization that he is battling depression and alcoholism.

As such, it’s noteworthy that he believes both Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady should consider retiring in short order. Warner explained his logic when asked about the two quarterbacks in a recent interview with People. “I think both of those guys look like they’re exhausted,” Warner said. “It’s OK to go, ‘You know what? It’s not how it used to be. I may not be who I used to be, or, it’s just too hard overall to get everybody up to the standard....

A bullet through the mouth or the back of the head was in some cases the kindest Iraqi punishment. The bodies regularly unloaded at Kuwait City’s four major medical centers included victims with ax wounds, holes drilled through their kneecaps or intestines inflated with air. At Mubarak Hospital, the country’s largest, doctors received victims burned by acid, with ears cut off and eyes gouged out. Torturers beat one woman, shot her three times in the chest and neatly sawed off her skull, exposing her brain....

The jury is set to start deliberating on his homicide charges after hearing hours of closing arguments from the defense and prosecution on Monday. The focus of the trial is on whether the then 17-year-old defendant was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, before injuring Gaige Grosskreutz, during the Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August 2020. In his closing argument, lead prosecutor Thomas Binger accused Rittenhouse of being a “chaos tourist” who traveled to Kenosha from his hometown of Antioch, Illinois, in order to initiate violence, noting how he was the only person to shoot anyone during the protests....

Attorney Mark Richards said he doesn’t know who donated to Rittenhouse’s defense and can’t produce names. In his response filed Monday, Richards said that who pays him to defend Rittenhouse is none of the state’s concern. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger argued in the motion filed last week that it was necessary to ensure people in the juror pool for Rittenhouse’s trial are not donors. After Rittenhouse was arrested last summer, he became a martyr to conservatives who cast him as a patriot and gave millions of dollars to his legal defense....

On Thursday, Wiltjer showed off his prowess from beyond the arc, knocking down 70 of 75 three-point attempts in five minutes. In that particular video’s caption field, he alluded to the idea that there were plenty more trick shot videos to come while he attempts to break more records. On Friday, the Bulldogs forward attempted to nearly double the distance of the existing “behind-the-back” shot record (24 feet) by launching the ball from halfcourt, a distance of 47 feet....

Typically, you can drive and go back to (most) work two days afterward and can return to strenuous exercise at four to six weeks. However, treatment doesn’t end with surgery; it takes attention and lifestyle adjustments to ensure back problems don’t come back. If you’re considering this treatment, it’s crucial to understand what long-term care after kyphoplasty looks like. Benefits of Surgery One of the main reasons kyphoplasty is a popular option is that, barring complications, it delivers results quickly....

Irving scored 25 points in the Celtics’ 109-102 win over the Nets on Tuesday night, but was clearly very frustrated by the clear plastic covering half his face. He wasted no time taking the mask off during timeouts. He even left his mask at the scorer’s table when he got subbed out.

The Nets have been battling through health issues since the opening minute of Game 1 when James Harden limped off the floor with hamstring tightness. Harden has since rejoined the starting lineup, but Kyrie Irving has missed the past two contests after spraining his right ankle in Game 4.

The current Nets guard is going to put “current” to the test over the coming weeks. A report by The Athletic on Monday said Irving and the Nets have reached an “impasse,” leading to speculation that the All-Star might be testing free agency when it opens in the coming weeks. Irving is nothing if not aware, and he took to Twitter in response to Sham Charania’s reporting that Irving may decline his $36....

But Thomas, of course, was swapped as a piece of the package to bring in star point guard Kyrie Irving, so it was only fitting that Boston turn to Irving with the game in the balance, especially with newly signed star Gordon Hayward gone for the year after a nasty ankle injury in the opener.
