Thousands of revelers race towards the exit and trample each other at Lovers & Friends festival – Daily Mail

Panicked hip-hop and R&B fans reportedly rushed to the exits of Saturday night's Lovers and Friends festival in Las Vegas amid reports of gunshots being fired. Soon, reports erupted online of a 'stampede' at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, with people claiming they were trampled in the rush to leave as screens inside the venue urged festival-goers to remain in place, News 3 Las Vegas reports. Footage posted online showed thousands of people trying to exit the venue as they walked through the streets in an attempt to get to safety.  Security personnel were then forced to pause the concerts Saturday night, as Metropolitan police investigated the scene. They ultimately found that the reports of gunfire at the festival grounds were 'unfounded,' and the concerts were soon allowed to resume...

Box Office: ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Rules Again as ‘Firestarter’ Flames Out – Variety

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is again the No. 1 movie at the domestic box office. In its second weekend of release, the latest installment in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe has collected $61 million from 4,534 North American theaters. Ticket sales plunged 67% from its opening weekend, marking a steeper drop off compared to recent Marvel movies like “Eternals” (which declined 61% in its second weekend) and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (which declined 52% in its second weekend). However, its sizable decline is not surprising since “Doctor Strange 2” is coming off the 11th biggest opening weekend in history with $187 million. After 10 days on the big screen, the superhero adventure, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the supreme sorcerer, has gross...

Jason Momoa apologizes after taking photos in the Sistine Chapel – CNN

Momoa, 42, is currently in Rome shooting "Fast X", the 10th installment in the "Fast & Furious" film saga. The actor posted snaps of himself below the famous Michelangelo paintings that adorn the walls and ceilings of the chapel on May 9. In the caption, he wrote, "I LOVE YOU ITALY what a beautiful start to our day off enjoying ROMA." But disgruntled fans quickly pointed out in the comments that visitors are typically forbidden from taking photos or videos in the chapel, which is located in Vatican City. On Saturday, Momoa posted another video in which he addressed the controversy -- after a brief moment of working out. "It's my last day in Rome, and I just love you and Italy," he said after setting down the dumbbells. "If you ever thought I disrespected your culture, th...

Heightened dream recall ability linked to increased creativity and functional brain connectivity – PsyPost

People who can frequently recall their dreams tend to be more creative and exhibit increased functional connectivity in a key brain network, according to new research published in the journal Nature and Science of Sleep. The findings provide new insights into the neurophysiological correlates of dreaming. “I think that dreaming is one of the last frontiers of human cognition — a terra incognita of the mind if you will,” said study author Raphael Vallat, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley. “Although we all spend a significant amount of our lives dreaming, there are still so many basic research questions related to dreams that are unanswered, which obviously makes it such a fascinating topic to study! “In this and previo...
