Sia Recalls Stopping Maddie Ziegler From Getting on a Plane With Harvey Weinstein – E! NEWS

When it comes to Maddie Ziegler, Sia is basically a bodyguard.  In an interview on the Zach Sang Show, the Grammy-nominated performer reflected on her relationship with Maddie Ziegler, the Dance Moms reality star who amassed greater solo fame at 11 years old after starring in Sia's "Chandelier" music video in 2014.  Over the years—and many music videos together—the songstress has become a mentor, friend and protective parental figure to the now-teenage multi-hyphenate.  "As soon as I met Maddie, I felt extreme desire to protect her and I think that it was part of my own healing," Sia said during the interview. "I felt just extreme compulsion to protect her and yet the irony is that I didn't want to be famous and I threw this child into the spotlight and she would say to me, 'Don't be sill...

Virginia July 2 COVID-19 update: Hampton Roads reports another daily high in new cases, record 53 in Norfolk – WAVY.com

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — While Virginia’s new daily COVID-19 numbers are staying steady, Hampton Roads is continuing to see record breaking numbers. On Thursday, the region added 147 new cases, breaking a one-day record of 144 set on June 26. Those high numbers are not just spikes caused by lag in reporting, as cases have exceeded 100 for five of the past seven days. The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission tracks the cases locally in graphs, but they had not been updated at the time of publication. The Virginia Department of Health’s graph of cases in the Eastern District, which includes Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore, shows most of the new cases involve people who started showing symptoms just over a week ago, between June 22 and June 24.

Did a Mutation Help the Coronavirus Spread? More Evidence, but Lingering Questions – The New York Times

For months, scientists have debated whether a variant of the coronavirus that has come to predominate in much of the world did so partly because it is more transmissible than other viruses. On Thursday, a team of researchers reported new evidence that is likely to deepen the debate rather than settle it, experts said; too many uncertainties remain, in a pandemic that changes shape by the day. The new report, posted by the journal Cell and led by investigators at Los Alamos National Laboratory, suggested that the variant did have such an advantage. Other researchers said the findings were not yet definitive. The underlying question is as important as ever, both for understanding the early phases of the pandemic and anticipating how it will progress in the coming months. If the genetic gl...

Lea Micheles former Broadway co-star Craig Ramsay calls her one of the most entitled people – USA TODAY

Lea Michele's former Broadway co-star is speaking up about his experience with the singer and actress, who's recently been accused of workplace microaggressions. During an appearance on "Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef" Tuesday, Craig Ramsay, who starred with Michele in "Fiddler on the Roof" in the 2000s, called the former "Glee" star "despicable."  "I just didn't want to hear Lea Michele's name in this interview at all," Ramsay said. "I think she's a despicable, horrible human being. I think she has lost touch with reality." He continued, "I think she's one of the most entitled people I've ever come across in this business." "Glee" ran from 2009 to 2015, but Ramsay said he was there when Michele, 33, got the call about being cast for the hit musical high school drama series ...
