San Francisco (AFP) - Donald Trump's media group said Tuesday it will launch a streaming television platform, but its shares continued to tumble on Wall Street. The announcement came as 77-year-old former US president Trump sat through a second day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial. No other ex-president in US history has been hauled before a criminal court and the trial in a Manhattan courthouse comes as scandal-plagued Trump is fighting to make a shock return to the White House in November. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in a scheme to cover up reports on the ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Britain's Prince Harry and his actress wife Meghan Markle are working on two nonfiction series with Netflix -- a lifestyle program and a show on professional polo, their production company announced Thursday. The couple, who split with the British monarchy in 2020 and now reside in California, signed a deal with the streaming giant that same year for multiple projects. So far, the partnership has yielded the much-talked-about "Harry & Meghan," a six-episode docuseries launched in December 2022. The new projects seem far less controversial. The first, "curated by Meghan... w...

Los Angeles (AFP) - It was the car chase that brought a nation screeching to a halt. On June 17, 1994, a white Ford Bronco containing a fugitive O.J. Simpson led a convoy of police cars down southern California's freeways -- and 95 million Americans couldn't take their eyes off it. Coverage of massive sporting events like the NBA finals and US Open was interrupted with footage of the chase, while Domino's Pizza reported record delivery orders from viewers unwilling to miss a single moment. That moment captured by hovering TV helicopters and breathless newsmen, and broadcast around the world, ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden released a TV spot Friday targeting voters of Nikki Haley, as he seeks to rebuild the coalition that won him the last election by wooing the moderates who preferred her to Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. The ad shows Trump -- the Republicans' 2024 standard-bearer -- repeatedly mocking the former UN ambassador and telling a reporter he can win without pursuing her supporters. "She's gone crazy. She's a very angry person," Trump is heard saying during the 30-second commercial, punctuated with social media posts in which the Republican claims ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Golden Globes has inked a five-year broadcast deal with a US TV network, organizers said Monday, after a troubled few years for the awards show. A new deal will see the gala -- a major staging post for movies on the way to the Oscars -- airing on CBS, and livestreamed on Paramount+, starting next year. The agreement solidifies a turnaround for the annual Tinseltown gathering, which was taken off air entirely in 2022 after long-simmering rumors of corruption and scandal burst into the open. CBS carried this year's Globes, reportedly at a steeply discounted rate, which ea...

New York (AFP) - US President Joe Biden played down concerns about his age in an interview with late-night TV comic Seth Meyers on Monday as he tried to reach out to hesitant -- and younger -- voters ahead of the November election. The 81-year-old told the host he was a better bet than "the other guy" -- 77-year-old Donald Trump, the Republican former president he is almost certain to face in a bitter rematch of their 2020 contest. In the prerecorded interview, Meyers -- whose jokes on his weeknight NBC show regularly target Trump -- said that Democrat Biden's age was a "real concern for Ameri...

Los Angeles (AFP) - "Oppenheimer" took top honors at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday, as Hollywood stars partied at their union's first prize-giving gala since staging its longest-ever strike last year. The prestigious prize for best performance by a cast at the SAG Awards is historically a strong predictor for the Oscars, and makes "Oppenheimer" a formidable frontrunner for best picture. Christopher Nolan's epic drama about the father of the atomic bomb also took the awards for best actor for Cillian Murphy, who plays the titular scientist, and best supporting actor for Robert Down...

New York (AFP) - American football dynasty the New England Patriots have been compared to the Beatles for having the same leading lights for more than a generation. "Imagine what the Beatles would have accomplished if they had two decades together instead of one," said Jeff Benedict, the writer of a new Apple TV+ docuseries on the sporting franchise which had the same leading figures for two decades. "The Dynasty: New England Patriots" tells the story of the Boston-area sporting juggernaut's dominance between 2002 and 2019. Once a team of "losers", the "Pats", with their star quarterback Tom...
