Lego Art posters announced with Star Wars, Iron Man, and more – The Verge

Lego’s next line of sets offers builders multiple ways to recreate pop culture icons, including Darth Vader and Marilyn Monroe. Lego Art is a lineup of portrait creations designed for adult builders. Each set features small, bead-size pieces and a canvas that you use to piece together a pop art poster. There are four sets currently in the Lego Art lineup: Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe, portraits of the members of The Beatles, a set featuring various versions of Iron Man’s suit, and a Star Wars set based on popular villains. There isn’t just one way to create these portraits, either — Lego says each set can be reimagined “in a number of different ways.” For example, if you purchase The Sith set, you can recreate one of three members from the dark side of the force: Darth Vader,...

Meghan Markle says UK made £1bn out of wedding to Prince Harry – Daily Mail

The Duchess of Sussex has claimed that her royal wedding to Prince Harry at Windsor Castle raised more than £1billion in tourism revenue for Britain. Meghan Markle also said the income generated for the public purse 'far outweighed' the contribution of taxpayers' money towards crowd security in May 2018. The claim was made within the latest documents released as part of her High Court battle against The Mail On Sunday over an article which reproduced parts of a letter she had sent to her father Thomas Markle in August 2018.  UK taxpayers contributed to the estimated £32million cost of the wedding, although the church service, flowers and reception were paid for by the Royal Family. The majority of the estimated figure - £30million - was funded by the taxpayer and mostly spent on security ...

ACL Festival canceled for 2020 – KXAN.com

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin City Limits Music Festival has been canceled for 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, organizers wrote in a release Wednesday. “We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution,” it wrote. “The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff and the entire Austin community remains our highest priority.” ACL Fest says it will return to Zilker Park during two weekends in October 2021, which will coincide with its 20th-anniversary celebration. It says those who already bought tickets for this year should hold on to them “to lock in access to next year’s festival at 2019 prices,” or they can ge...

The Affair to Stream on Peacock — Ray Donovan, Charmed – TVLine

Peacock has struck a deal with ViacomCBS to house all episodes of The Affair, Everybody Hates Chris, The Game, Ray Donovan, Real Husbands of Hollywood and Undercover Boss — all of which will be available at launch on Wednesday, July 15.

MythBusters star Adam Savages sister accuses him of sexual abuse when they were kids – USA TODAY

Former "MythBusters" co-host Adam Savage has been accused of sexual abuse by his sister. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Westchester Supreme Court, Miranda Pacchiana says she was "sexually abused as a child by her brother."
