'Killers of the Flower Moon' tells the story of the Osage murders, an especially bleak chapter of American history.

"Depp v. Heard" wants to have it both ways, to appear as if it's saying something profound about the circus-like 2022 trial while adding another leering ring to it via a three-part docuseries. Emphasizing the social-media frenzy that surrounded the case, alas, proves more irritating than illuminating, with the one truly worthwhile element being how the producers present the two principals' conflicting accounts side by side.

Harry Kane and the Prince of Wales led the congratulations after England swept aside co-hosts Australia 3-1 to reach their first World Cup final. The Lionesses roared past the Matildas in front of a 75,784-strong crowd thanks to second-half strikes from Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo. Ella Toone had fired England into the lead in the first half, but Sam Kerr produced a thunderous equaliser before Hemp and Russo helped Sarina Wiegman’s side end their run of World Cup last-four exits. Kane, England’s men’s record goal-scorer, was able to provide instant reaction during an interview with Sky Sports, saying: “Massive congratulations to the Lionesses. “It sounds like a heck of a game and massive congratulations. We’re all behind them and hopefully they can do it in the final.” Mead, player of the tournament when England won the European Championships last summer but who missed this tournament through injury, wrote on Twitter: “World Cup Final baby! Get in Lionesses.” Former England defender Gary Neville said: “An incredible achievement by the Lionesses. One more to go.” The prince tweeted his best wishes to the Lionesses for the final and offered his commiserations to Australia. “What a phenomenal performance from the Lionesses – on to the final,” he said. “Commiserations to The Matildas, you’ve played brilliantly and been fantastic co-hosts of this World Cup.” Gary Lineker, who won the Golden Boot for England at the 1986 World Cup, added: “Absolutely superb performance. “A World Cup final. A World Cup final at football. It’s been a while. What a wonderful achievement.” Retired Euros winner Ellen White expressed her emotions in the BBC studio following a roller-coaster second-half. Kerr levelled with a sensational long-range strike in the 63rd minute, but Hemp put England back in front eight minutes later before Russo finished with aplomb to send the Lionesses into the final. White, England’s women’s record goal-scorer, said on the BBC: “I feel quite emotional because what this team have done, the legacy they have created. To finally say we’re in a World Cup final, I feel so proud of this team. It is ridiculous. “They have had roller-coaster tournament and at times been criticised for the way they played, but the bond they share, to make a World Cup final is incredible and for Sarina to make World Cup finals back-to-back (she led the Netherlands to the 2019 final) shows what a coach she is. “I’ve never seen her like that, quite emotional, but it is because she puts so much into it.” White also hailed England’s current main striker Russo, adding: “She is in her own now. She’s taken the number nine role, grabbed it with both hands and it is a lot of pressure to be England number nine.” Ex-England player Alex Scott said on the BBC: “You almost run out of words for this Lionesses team. “Lauren Hemp and Jess Carter’s clearance, there were so many big moments that sum this team up that they have a unity, resilience and they have the quality too.” Izzy Christiansen, who represented England on 32 occasions, told BBC Radio Five Live: “To be honest I’m out of superlatives to describe Sarina Wiegman. You've just seen another masterclass again from Sarina Izzy Christiansen on England boss Sarina Wiegman “To come in and change the culture, instil a winning mentality, create a brand of football that’s pragmatic, interesting, lets the talent flourish. “We saw in the starting XI that she had all of her best players on the pitch, some managers struggle to find ways to get the best out of their best players. “You’ve just seen another masterclass again from Sarina.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live England book place in World Cup final – The Sydney victory in pictures Sarina Wiegman asks if she’s in ‘a fairytale’ as England reach World Cup final World Cup joy, Ashes glory and netball delight – Big England wins in Australia

Keke Palmer is having fun as a fan of Usher.

Michelle Obama has revealed that her palate is a little more straightforward than some may assume from a former first lady. Speaking on the first episode of Your Mama’s Kitchen, a podcast hosted by journalist Michele Norris and co-produced by the Obamas’ media company, Higher Ground, Michelle revealed she never really enjoyed eating breakfast. “I was kind of a picky eater,” she said. “I didn’t like any breakfast-anything. And my brother, who ate breakfast all the time, thought I was crazy.” Michelle continued: “We had big breakfasts because my brother, he was a growing athlete. So it was everything — cereal followed by scrambled or fried eggs followed by lots of toast and bacon and link sausage. So breakfast was big.” As a result, she explained that “everybody else in the whole household, on the whole planet, loved breakfast food except for [me] ... I despised breakfast.” Michelle revealed that she became “really stubborn” over her breakfast and decided to choose a different meal. “[I ate] peanut butter and jelly every morning until I went to college,” she said. “That was all I really liked. It was sort of a compromise that I made with my mother because it’s got peanuts, that’s protein, a little bit of oil. “Nothing’s wrong with bread if we’re having toast, why can’t I have it in a sandwich form and jelly? Everybody was having jelly on their toast.” She added that this would form her breakfast “every morning for most of [her] life”. However, nowadays, she is a fan of more wide-ranging breakfast foods. “I’m big into all of it now. Give me eggs benedict. Any eggs, any way,” she added. The admission comes after Michelle reflected on former US President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day and revealed why she was sobbing after it. During the first episode of Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast, she explained why Trump’s Inauguration Day in 2017 was “so emotional”, as she, Barack, and their daughters, Malia, now 24, and Sasha, now 21, were officially moving out of their house. “We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” she explained. “They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.” Read More Barack Obama’s message to people of Hawaii after deadly wildfires Obama’s love letters from 1982 resurface: ‘I make love to men daily, but in the imagination’ Billy Porter says he is ‘back on the market’ after filing for divorce Do it for the Gram: Speedy but spectacular goat’s cheese linguine How to pimp up your instant ramen (and save money) Money-saving chilli con carne that absolutely slaps with flavour

By Jorge Garcia and Sandra Stojanovic LAHAINA, Hawaii U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suffered a social media embarrassment on Tuesday when a post seemingly intended for President Joe Biden’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter, was accidentally published on her own. “Investing in America means investing in ALL of America. When I ran for President, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind,” Ms Jean-Pierre unexpectedly declared to the world mid-afternoon. The post was swiftly deleted soon after. She made no further comment explaining the gaffe and instead returned to posting about Mr Biden’s visit to Wisconsin earlier in the day and his intention to fly to Hawaii to survey the devastation wrought by the deadly wildfires on the Big Island and Maui over the last week. But – despite her silence and the post’s swift deletion – several social media users picked up on the apparent blunder. Fox News contributor Joe Concha responded: “Welp. I guess we know who’s been writing President Biden’s tweets for him. (A) Karine Jean-Pierre (not good)… (B) White House intern (also not good)… (C) The person who left cocaine at the White House (*really* not good).” “I mean it’s not like anyone thought he ran his own twitter,” chimed in another person. Others simply posted memes and gifs including one which read “whoopsies”. While Ms Jean-Pierre’s error did appear to reveal Mr Biden doesn’t write his own social media posts, for many that may prove reassuring given Donald Trump’s rampant use of Twitter during his own presidency – when policy would be announced and Cabinet secretaries fired at all hours of the day or night, often seemingly on a whim online. Meanwhile, the online blip comes as Mr Biden’s press secretary was attacked by Republicans earlier this week for apparently mispronouncing the names of Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono and the state’s Governor Brian Schatz, whom she appeared to call “Senator Shorts” during a daily briefing. The situation on the ground in Hawaii meanwhile remains extremely difficult. The death toll has risen to 106, with as many as 1,000 people still missing and emergency responders struggling to identify the dead. The historic town of Lahaina has been largely destroyed by the blaze and many more homes and buildings wrecked. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have announced plans to visit Hawaii on Monday to meet with first responders, survivors and officials.

South Africa’s rolling blackouts have been blamed by strategists as the single biggest factor weighing on the rand.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit Maui, Hawaii on Monday 21 August to meet with first responders, survivors and officials– nearly two weeks after devastating wildfires ravaged parts of the island. Days after Mr Biden faced backlash from individuals who believed the President did not have enough of a public-facing approach to addressing the wildfires, the White House announced the trip. “In Maui, the President and First Lady will be welcomed by state and local leaders to see firsthand the impacts of the wildfires and the devastating loss of life and land that has occurred on the island, as well as discuss the next steps in the recovery efforts,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote in a statement. The announcement comes one day after Mr Biden told reporters he was working with the Hawaiian government to schedule a visit that would not disrupt relief efforts and re-direct security and law enforcement resources. In their statement, the White House said the Mr Biden was in close contact with Hawaii governor Josh Green, senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator Deanna Criswell who said they expected “to be at a stage early next week to allow for a presidential visit.” This is a breaking news story....
