Katie Couric is slammed for scorched earth memoir and accused of book being a cry for relevance – Daily Mail

Katie Couric, 64, is facing criticism from former colleagues and friends after she used her new memoir to trash several people from her personal and professional life. In her book, Going There, which is slated for release this month, the former Today Show host makes nasty comments about her deceased husband, longtime rival Diane Sawyer, TV personality Martha Stewart and many other prominent celebrities.  Those slammed by Couric's scathing words say they are 'hurt' and 'stunned' by her expose with one former colleague even accusing her of 'ruining her legacy.' 'Nobody can understand why Katie did this. She's ruining her legacy,' an unnamed senior news producer who previously worked with Couric told the New York Post. 'From the excerpts I've seen, she's taking down women from Martha Stewart...

Unanswered questions about COVIDs origins – Axios

As the world nears two years after the first reported cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, there's still a lot more we don't know about SARS-CoV-2's origins than we do know. Why it matters: Accurately determining the causes of COVID-19 will go a long way toward informing what can and should be done to prevent the next pandemic. Driving the news: Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported the WHO is reviving its stalled investigation into the origins of COVID-19, while a separate academic task force looking into the same question was disbanded over concerns about bias. At this point, there is no smoking gun in favor of either of the two main theories — that SARS-CoV-2 emerged in animals before spreading to people, or that it originated in lab work done at the Wuhan Institute of Viro...

Geraldo Rivera Calls Out ‘Vaccinated D–k Heads Who Urge the Unvaccinated to ‘Fight for Their Freedom’ – Yahoo Entertainment

Geraldo Rivera and Keith Olbermann may not have many agreements on politics, but the two came together in their disgust towards those who oppose taking the COVID-19 vaccine. “Open-minded & inclusive, I’m friends with all kinds of people. But as we pass 700,000 #Covid dead, I have zero tolerance for anti-Vaxers,” Rivera tweeted on Saturday. Rivera went a step further, saying he has particular disgust for “vaccinated d–k heads who urge the unvaccinated to ‘fight for their freedom,’ the mob urging the man on ledge to jump.” That comment may be a particular reference to some of the pundits at Fox News, where over 90% of staffers are vaccinated while its hosts like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham spread anti-vaccine views on their programs. Two hours after Rivera’s tweet was sent, Olb...

Shang-Chi Director Reveals He Almost Had a Monstrous Brother in the MCU – ComicBook.com

As the cards fell, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ended up as an intimate story of Simu Liu's titular character and his relationships with his father Wenwu (Tony Leung) and sister (Meng'er Zhang). As it turns out, however, Shang-Chi almost had a brother in the movie, and that brother may or may not have had something to do with the film's big bad. In one new interview, Shang-Chi helmer Destin Daniel Cretton suggested there was one iteration of the script where Shang-Chi had a brother who ultimately turned into a monster, one that may have had a comics inspiration. "I mean, at one point, there was a moment when Shang-Chi had a brother that was left behind with Dad rather than a sister," Cretton told Yahoo! Entertainment. "That was early on. And there's inspirations from the c...
