Vaccination rate increasing in Mass. as fewer communities in red zone – Boston.com

For the third week straight, Massachusetts health officials reported a decrease in the number of communities at the highest risk of coronavirus transmission.  The Department of Public Health also released its weekly vaccine dashboard Thursday, which displayed a rise in both vaccinations and vaccine dose shipments to Massachusetts, though shots are being administered quicker than they’re arriving.  Thursday’s town-by-town coronavirus risk data categorizes communities’ risk level on a scale from red, the highest, to gray, the lowest — this week officials reported 153 towns in the red zone, compared to 192 last Thursday, continuing along the same downward trend as the past few weeks.  See this Thursday’s full town-by-town coronavirus data here.  According to the state, 149,030...

Kate Middleton recycles a soft blue £398 Rebecca Taylor tweed jacket for video call – Daily Mail

The Duchess of Cambridge has proved she remains the Queen of thriftiness as she recycled a soft baby blue tweed jacket to speak with teachers from a school in County Durham by video call to mark Children's Mental Health Week. Kate Middleton, 39, who is currently living at her Norfolk residence of Anmer Hall along with Prince William, 38, and their three children, Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, chatted with staff from Ribbon Academy by virtual meeting on Tuesday. The mother-of-three opted to wear a smart blue tweed jacket from New-Zealand designer Rebecca Taylor for the occasion, which she first stepped out in during a visit to Evelina London Children's Hospital in February 2017. During the call, the royal praised the staff members for their hard wor...

A Utah theme park is suing Taylor Swift over Evermore album title – CNN

The park is seeking millions of dollars in damages, according to court documents filed on Tuesday in the US District Court of Utah. Evermore Park is about a half-hour south of Salt Lake City and is based around the theme of a fantasy European village. The lawsuit claims that the park and CEO Ken Bretschneider have invested approximately $37,000,000 in the creation and promotion of Evermore Park and the Evermore trademark. It said that the park's business and reputation have been hurt because of the album. A spokesperson for Swift dismissed the claims in a statement and said the park was having financial difficulty before her album was released. "The fact is, this frivolous claim is coming from Ken Bretschneider, founder and CEO of an experience park and according to Utah Business, 'As of...

Not childs play: Chucky doll featured in errant Amber Alert – KSL.com

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Rest assured, "Chucky" is not on the loose. The Texas Department of Public Safety has apologized after mistakenly issuing an Amber Alert that said the killer doll featured in the 1988 horror film "Child's Play" was a suspect in the kidnapping of his 5-year-old son, Glen Ray, who was featured in "Seed of Chucky." The emergency alert described Chucky as a 3-foot, 1-inch-tall (0.9-meter-tall) doll wearing "blue denim overalls with multi-colored striped long sleeve shirt wielding a huge kitchen knife." The alert was mistakenly sent out three times last week to Amber Alert subscribers. The agency said it was a test malfunction. Copyright © 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Dita Von Teese speaks out on Marilyn Manson abuse allegations – NME

Dita Von Teese has spoken out on the sexual abuse allegations against her ex-husband Marilyn Manson. The musician has been accused of abuse, grooming and manipulation by actor Evan Rachel Wood and four other women. Manson has denied the claims that have been made against him, writing in a statement on his Instagram page: “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.” Von Teese and Manson were in a relationship for seven years, including one year of marriage from 2005 to 2006. They divorced because of “irreconcilable differences” related to the musician’s drug abuse and infidelities, according to Von Teese. The burlesque dancer and model ha...

Armie Hammer’s Hollywood Career Is in Freefall as Sex Scandal Explodes on Social Media – Variety

The new year kicked off with what will likely be the most bizarre celebrity story of 2021: Armie Hammer — the genetically blessed movie star of “Call Me by Your Name” and “The Social Network” fame, and heir to the Hammer family oil fortune — began trending online for being a cannibal. Hammer is not a cannibal. And yet, weeks later, questions still swirl about Hammer’s personal life amid social media accusations. And after he dropped out of two high-profile projects – which Variety hears from multiple well-placed sources he was asked to leave – it’s not clear if his career can, or will, recover. Unverified messages have been blasted across social media, reportedly showing Hammer chatting with several women in explicit conversations displaying his fetishes, where he allegedly ...
