Willy Wonka has fascinated and maybe even creeped out a generation or two after a lot of generations had a lot of sweet teeth. But the magician and chocolate maker is back in a new prequel musical.The incredibly talented Timothee Chalamet is Willy now.I met him and the rest of the cast in Beverly Hills to talk sweets and get sweet.Tmothee Chalamet is Willy Wonka.But in “Wonka,” this Willy isn’t as dark as the iconic original, from 1971’s “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”Tmothee Chalamet: “This is the Willy before whatever happens, and that’s where my curiosity lies. Because something happens to this guy, I don’t know what it is, to make him what we see in the Gene Wilder film, sort of darker, as you put it, and disturbing and sort of without empathy sometimes.”Or even in Johnny Depp’s 2005 take.Tmothee Chalamet: “This guy is the opposite. This guy loves humans, loves having a community and people to love ...

Ramping Rain and Winds

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:32:11 GMT

A familiar Christmas song says “the weather outside is frightful” (you know the rest). However, instead of “let it snow” south Floridians will have to settle for rain and, potentially, a lot of it. Some on-and-off showers will return to the area by Wednesday. That’s just the start of a soggy-type pattern setting up for the remainder of the week. At the core of the rainy stretch is a developing area of low pressure. This disturbance is forming in the southern Gulf of Mexico and will draw more moisture into our region as the week continues. Next, the low will head to the east and northeast, squarely aiming for the Florida Peninsula. The exact track is important in determining which parts of Florida get the most rainfall in the days ahead. However, it’s worth noting that even on its projected path (cutting across central, or north central Florida) there will be a large slug of heavy rain overall. The National Weather Service issued a statement...

‘Moral failure’: Harvard is slammed after board backs President Claudine Gay following Congressional testimony on antisemitism

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:32:11 GMT

Harvard University is facing heat for the board’s decision to back President Claudine Gay after her explosive Congressional testimony about antisemitism, as critics warned that keeping Gay will “greenlight more Jew-hatred on campus.”The Harvard Corporation on Tuesday announced that Gay will remain in her role following calls for her to either quit or be fired since her Capitol Hill testimony last week. She has also faced plagiarism allegations.During last week’s controversial Congressional hearing in front of a Republican-led House committee, Gay refused to characterize calls for the genocide of Jews as a breach of Harvard’s code of conduct. There has been a reported spike in antisemitism following the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. Jewish and Israeli students have been threatened and assaulted on campuses.Harvard alums have been calling on Gay to resign, including Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who several times during the hearing asked G...

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown responds to ESPN’s surprise criticism

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:32:11 GMT

Jaylen Brown responded in person on Tuesday to a social media post from ESPN that mocked the Celtics star.In an Instagram post on ESPN’s NBA account last Tuesday, the network published a graphic that pointed out that Brown had recorded zero assists and taken 43 field goal attempts over his previous two games – the Celtics’ win over the 76ers and loss to the Pacers – accompanied by the caption, “Jaylen Brown been gettin’ ‘em up the last two games.” It appeared to be taking a shot at Brown and suggesting he was playing selfish basketball.Brown saw the post, shared it on his Instagram story and also commented on the post: “Y’all corny watch the game,” he wrote.At Tuesday’s Celtics morning shootaround, Brown was asked for the first time about the post, which seemed to be unfair and random.“Probably a slow news day,” Brown said.The Instagram post, of course, requires context that was missing. As pointed out by Celtics.com’s Taylor Snow, Brown had five potential assists against the Pacers...

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israel and the United States showed their sharpest public disagreement yet over the conduct and future of the war against Hamas terrorists as the two allies became increasingly isolated by global calls for a cease-fire.The dispute emerged Tuesday while Israeli forces carried out strikes across Gaza.President Biden said he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing” and that Netanyahu should change his government, which is dominated by hard-right parties.Biden’s comments came as the White House national security adviser heads to Israel this week to discuss with Netanyahu a timetable for the war — and what happens if Hamas is defeated.Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will travel to Israel next week for a visit the Pentagon said aims to show U.S. support for Israel but also to press the need to avoid more civilian casualties in Gaza.The U.S. has urged Israel to do more to reduce civilian c...
