GAGA ON THOUSAND OAKS SHOOTING: 'ANOTHER REMINDER THAT WE HAVE TO DO BETTER'

The union representing actors was celebrating its own Thursday (8 NOVEMBER) night in Beverly Hills.

But many attendees acknowledged they were somber in the wake of news from a city just 35 miles northwest.

Wednesday night, 12 were killed during a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks nightclub. Authorities identified the shooter as a former U.S. Marine who was armed with a legally purchased .45-caliber Glock 21 handgun.

"Last night's shooting is another reminder that we have to do better," said recording artist and actress Lady Gaga. "There is so much that we need to do in this world," she continued.

Gaga, widely considered a current awards-season contender for her performance in the musical "A Star is Born," was among those honored by The SAG-AFTRA Foundation at its annual Patron of the Artists Awards.

The Foundation, which provides assistance to union members in need, also honored studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, director Spike Lee and actor Harrison Ford.

"I wish that we could hear more appropriate language from our leadership," noted Ford, referring to US President Donald Trump's response to the shootings. "It's very sad. And my heart goes out to all those people."

Director Lee, himself buzzed as an awards-season contender for "BlacKkKlansman," a sometimes-humorous commentary on modern-day America that Lee refuses to call a "comedy."

When asked about the Wednesday tragedy, Lee said "this guy in the White House is really responsible for all this stuff."

"He set the tone. And his base his following up on it, and gone overboard. So, we live in a very tricky moment in history the United States of America."

Emmy winner Henry Winkler, an event attendee, said the latest shooting was "Unbelievable."

"We can spend a lot of money and send troops to the border for an invasion that isn't happening. But we can do nothing about the incredible loss of life that is happening with such frequency - for real in our country."

Veteran Malaysian superstar Michelle Yeoh, now riding high in Hollywood thanks to the TV series "Star Trek: Discovery" and the box-office hit "Crazy Rich Asians," said, "It's so heartbreaking for, you know, families to have to deal with this. And, often enough, I don't understand your gun rules, and I don't claim to understand it at all, because, you know, in Asia, we just don't have. It is not allowed. And why do you have to carry weapons that are even bigger and stronger than your police force? You know, I don't understand that. And when you can buy guns so easily, it's very scary when the people who are mentally not stable still have access to that. I hope your government, your president will protect his people better, because you deserve to be protected."

US First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Qatar on Monday as part of a two-country Mideast tour.

She plans to visit a crucial air base in America's war against the Islamic State group and give a speech on the importance of girl's education.

Obama touched down in Doha, the Qatari capital, on Monday night, the state-run Qatar News Agency reported, without elaborating.

She is scheduled to give a speech on Wednesday on her 'Let Girls Learn' initiative at the 2015 World Innovation Summit for Education, sponsored by the Qatar Foundation.

From Qatar, Obama will travel to Jordan and visit a school supported by the US Agency for International Development with Queen Rania.

Obama is travelling without the president, her daughters or other immediate family members on this week's trip.

"I wanted to just be a part of the - I've done it a couple of years. I've done it I guess - I guess I did it in 2011 and we do a lot of work down in Haiti, work that happened after the earthquake and I think it's just having this event is a good thing because it gives people a chance to sort of reflect on what happened and try to do something positive."

"What always comes back to me is the shock, just the shock of it, that our world could be turned upside down in an instant. And that again reinforces the idea that these moments that we have, these hours and days and weeks and months and years that we have, to be able to do something and make it count, make it important, is the greatest bulwark against something that shocking happening. We can't prevent that all the time, but we can be strong in our response and people have done that. That's what I take away from it."

"It just lets you know the type of world we live in and that even with my wife's (Alicia Keys) new song 'We Are Here' - that song is a message to encourage people to stay positive in a world where you might not have so many positive people. So the song is a message: We are here. She just released a video and actually they did it today as the moment of silence, on Z-100, I think it was like 40 different stations.So it was pretty amazing."

And they're so proud and they're so loyal, New Yorkers, and I think that it really goes to show, every year, it's not something that's ever forgotten. It's something that's remembered even more so as time goes on. And that's really why I wanted to be here today, you know?"

I saw the plane, second plane... you know, it was a terrible day for a lot of people here, a lot of people everywhere. So I was talking with him about it, 15-years-old, it would have been his first day of school, it was his first day of school, they cancelled school obviously, but yeah, it's hard to believe it was that long ago. The passage of time does strange things to events like this."

CELEBRITIES COME OUT FOR ANNUAL 9/11 CHARITY DAY

Michael J. Fox, Michelle Williams and Swizz Beatz were among some of the entertainers who attended the annual Charity Day at Cantor Fitzgerald.

The event takes place each year on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America in 2001. More than 650 employees of the financial firm were killed when two airplanes flown by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center.

In their honor, the company donates all of its revenue earned on September 11 to various charities, some of them chosen by the celebrities.

"I'm here on behalf of Opening Act, which is an organization that brings theatre into high-needs schools in Brooklyn and in the Bronx," said actress Michelle Williams. "And I'm also here because it's, you know, on September 11th, it's hard to figure out what to do, how to commemorate the day. And this is a way that I can pass it in good conscience."

New York City native Ben Stiller feels the same way.

"I think it's always a day where you remember and being a New Yorker - I think anybody has a feeling about it - so I think this is a great thing where you can just come back and do something that sort of honors everybody who was affected, you know?" he said, before walking the trading floor and greeting Cantor Fitzgerald employees.

Actor Michael J. Fox, whose Parkinson's charity -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation -- benefits from the day, said 9/11 always reminds him that individuals can make a difference.

"What always comes back to me is the shock, just the shock of it, that our world could be turned upside down in an instant. And that again reinforces the idea that these moments that we have, these hours and days and weeks and months and years that we have, to be able to do something and make it count, make it important, is the greatest bulwark against something that shocking happening," he said. "We can't prevent that all the time, but we can be strong in our response and people have done that. That's what I take away from it."

"Girls" actress Zosia Mamet put it another way:

"I think New York particularly, more so than anywhere else in the world, is a city that in times of need really bands together," she said. "And they're so proud and they're so loyal, New Yorkers, and I think that it really goes to show, every year, it's not something that's ever forgotten. It's something that's remembered even more so as time goes on. And that's really why I wanted to be here today."

JUDGE: NO SLANDER IN ALEC BALDWIN'S COMMENTS ON PARKING SPAT

Alec Baldwin didn't slander a man in interviews about a parking dispute that turned physical, a judge has ruled as dueling lawsuits between the actor and the other driver continue.

Baldwin's remarks — including claims that Wojciech Cieszkowski's driving was "really fast," "really aggressive" and made the actor think his wife and son were about to be run over — were "hyperbole" and "rhetorical illustrations," Manhattan judge David B. Cohen wrote Thursday (26 DEC. 2019).

"They are words of frustration with someone's driving," not accusations that amount to slander, Cohen wrote.

He tossed out Cieszkowski's slander claim, but his assault and battery allegations can proceed toward trial. A message seeking comment was sent to Cieszkowski's attorneys.

Baldwin's lawyers, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, said Friday they were pleased with the decision.

The Emmy Award-winning actor pleaded guilty to harassment in the November 2018 confrontation. He went on to file a defamation suit of his own against Cieszkowski, a contractor.

The two clashed over a parking spot outside Baldwin's Manhattan apartment building. Cieszkowski said Baldwin hit him in the face, causing him "substantial pain" and headaches. Baldwin has said he "lightly pushed Cieszkowski in the chest" but did not seriously injure him.

Baldwin initially faced a misdemeanor attempted assault charge, but it was dropped. Harassment is a violation, the lowest level of offense.

After pleading guilty and agreeing to take an anger-management class, Baldwin commented on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "The Howard Stern Show."

"Did I have an argument with the guy? Yeah. I thought he was going to run over my wife with his car when he was stealing my parking spot," he said on "Ellen."

He similarly told Stern that he feared Cieszkowski "was going to hit my wife and my son" as the contractor "just went zip! — really fast and really aggressive" in taking the parking space.

"I thought what he did was impolite, bordering on dangerous," Baldwin said.

Cieszkowski said through his lawsuit that he never imperiled anyone. Baldwin's remarks essentially, and falsely, accused him of such crimes as reckless endangerment, he said.

For his part, Baldwin argues in court papers that Cieszkowski defamed him by falsely accusing him of a violent assault.

Baldwin has gotten into a number of public dust-ups over the years.

He was arrested in 1995 after being accused of slugging a photographer in Los Angeles, and he was thrown off a plane in 2011 after arguing with a flight attendant who asked him to stop playing a cellphone game.

Three years later, Baldwin was arrested in New York, where police said he became belligerent after being stopped for bicycling the wrong way on a one-way street. That case was eventually tossed out.

ALEC BALDWIN DUE IN COURT ON CHARGES HE PUNCHED OVER PARKING

Alec Baldwin is due in court in New York City for a hearing on charges that he slugged a man during a dispute over a parking spot in last fall.

The 60-year-old actor is scheduled to appear in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday (23 JANUARY 2019) morning. He's charged with misdemeanor attempted assault and harassment, a violation.

Baldwin has denied punching anyone in the Nov. 2 clash . The former "30 Rock" star's lawyer says he'll be vindicated by "incontrovertible video evidence ."

Police say the two started arguing and pushing each other after the man parked in a spot that Baldwin said a family member was holding for him.

Baldwin, who portrays President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live," has gotten into several public confrontations over the years. Some have led to legal trouble.

ALEC BALDWIN SET FOR COURT DATE IN PARKING-SPOT ASSAULT CASE

Alec Baldwin is due to answer assault and harassment charges in a New York court after being accused of striking a man in the face over a parking space.

The actor is set to be arraigned Monday (26 NOV. 2018) on the misdemeanor and violation-level charges. He has said any assertion that he punched anyone over a parking spot is false.

Baldwin was arrested on Nov. 2. Police were told a driver pulled into a Manhattan parking space that one of Baldwin's relatives was holding for him, and the two men started quarreling and pushing each other.

The other driver told police Baldwin punched or slapped him. The 49-year-old man was taken to a hospital complaining of jaw pain and redness around his neck.

Baldwin later tweeted the episode was "egregiously misstated."

TONY KUSHNER JOKES HE FEELS LIKE A FRAUD BEFORE BEING HONORED AT INAUGURAL ARTHUR MILLER FOUNDATION GALA

Tony Kushner joked that he felt like a fraud to be mentioned in the same breath as Arthur Miller.

The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright was honored by the Arthur Miller Foundation with its Humanitarian Award Monday night (22 OCT. 2018) in New York.

Guests at the starry inaugural gala included Steven Spielberg, Nathan Lane, Liam Neeson, and Alec Baldwin.

Kushner spoke briefly about the honor before heading inside.

"I feel like a fraud. But it's great. I mean it feels wonderful. He was one of my heroes. So, the connection feels amazing," Kushner said.  

Baldwin served as the evening's host and said he sees Kushner as more than just a great writer.

"He's a great New Yorker. I admire Kushner. When we were in the height of the doing Trump on Saturday Night Live the first season of that in 2016. I was at Dean and Deluca, and my assistant was with me. And Kushner said to me, 'Is this you taster?' Like I got someone tasting my food, so I don't get poisoned by the Trump administration. And he's very clever, he's very funny," Baldwin said.

Baldwin continued:

"Everybody says that Kushner is one of the smartest people in the world. He's probably one the smartest people ever, you know. So, it makes sense to give him an award from one the name of one great writer to another."

Actor Nathan Lane, who took home a Tony award earlier this year for his role as Roy Cohn in the revival of "Angels in America" sees Kushner as a visionary.

"He was just incredibly prescient about where we were headed back in the Reagan days and now where we've wound up. And how we're still having a lot of the same arguments. He also gives you hope at the end of the play. Hope, for as the character of Harper says, for a kind of painful progress. So, you know I hope, I hope that's the case. Maybe we have to go through this to get to something better," Lane said.

Foundation co-chair Rebecca Miller and daughter of Arthur Miller called Kushner the perfect recipient of the inaugural Humanitarian award.

"Tony is really the perfect person to receive our first honor in this way. He is a great playwright and also a great human being, and incredibly caring. And I think he shares some of my father's love of humanity. I think that's very - it radiates out of Tony," Miller said.

The Arthur Miller Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access and equity to theater education in New York City public schools. Besides Miller, other co-chairs include Kate Capshaw and Spielberg.

And that's a familiar face to Kushner, since they have been working together on the director's upcoming version of "West Side Story."

"It's been wonderful. He's a dear friend and amazing collaborator and I feel really honored working on a Steven Spielberg movie every time I do it. I'm very excited about what we're doing now with 'West Side Story.' I think that it's going to be something new and thrilling. So, it's always a great joy to work with Steven. He's an amazing man," Kushner said.

The event will raise funds for the Foundation's theater education programs.

BRUCE WILLIS, KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY, DANNY GLOVER ATTEND JAZZ FOUNDATION'S 'GREAT NIGHT IN HARLEM'; TALK LEGACY OF MLK

Stars converged on the Apollo Theater to honor Harry Belafonte and Tony Bennett.

Bruce Willis, Keegan-Michael Key, and Danny Glover were among those to attend the Jazz Foundation's "Great Night in Harlem" gala Thursday (4 APRIL 2019) in New York.

Key arrived early, and spoke of the importance of honoring great artists.

"I think part of what makes the night very special is that it's always important to commemorate people that we're standing on the shoulders of.  I think that's one of the most important things in the world.  That's why I think memorials are important, commemoration is important, and also especially in a historical place like the Apollo Theater.  I have a friend with me today and he's just overwhelmed because he's never been here before, and I think it's such a great night to be here in this special, special venue and, and it allows us to reflect on this very special, special people."

The gala featured performances by Common, Patti Smith, Bruce Willis and Savion Glover.

The day also marked another significant anniversary, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.  The civil rights hero was gunned down outside his hotel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968.

Danny Glover sees a connection with Dr. King's message and the arts.

"Every moment we got, we get a chance to celebrate his contributions and the importance that he gave to art itself.  Poets, artists, Dr. King... often quoted the works of Langston Hughes, and other artists as well.  He understood the role that artists played in the movement itself, i.e. Harry Belafonte and also Tony Bennett, as well as many, many others, countless others as well," Glover said.

For Key, it's a quote from Dr. King that he's never forgotten.

"One of the things that always rings in my mind when I think of Dr. King is, is the phrase, 'content of character,' and wouldn't it be amazing if we lived in a world, that's the one.  I mean, of the whole speech, of all the wonderful words that he said in his life, that one always rings out to me because it's about people making the world better and elevating it based on their merits.  It shouldn't matter what color you are.  It should always be based on how you behave, how you treat others, do you share.  And then that should be the - that should ideally be the measuring stick for everybody, right?  So that's the one that's always kind of stuck with me, yeah," Key said.

Bettye Lavette planned to celebrate Dr. King with a performance of a popular song about fallen leaders.

"Oh my goodness - the song that I'm singing tonight, 'Abraham, Martin, and John,' it was a moment that kind of stopped, certainly for black people, stopped the universe.  You know, it was just unimaginable that it even happened, and I'm honored to be here to memorialize it and speak about it and sing about it," Lavette said.

Produced by the Jazz Foundation of America, the annual benefit supports musician's in crisis, and brings together all-time legends from different genres, including jazz, blues, rock, and soul.

XFA

The Prince of Wales and his long term companion Camilla Parker Bowles on Tuesday evening stepped out together at a semi-official engagement.

The couple hosted a private gala dinner in honour of the Prince's foundations in the United Kingdom and the United States.

They arrived at the headquarters of the Prince's Foundation in a newly-restored warehouse in Shoreditch, east London, in the same car.

In front of around 100 photographers they walked the short distance down a red carpet into the building.

Parker Bowles, who smiled broadly, was wearing a pale pink embroidered full-length evening gown, believed to be by Versace.

They did not pose for photographers, despite their shouted pleas.

At the same time, a small group of anti-monarchy protesters shouted and waved banners.

Many had posters saying "Queen Mum Hurry Up and Die" - an insulting reference to the Queen Mother, Charles' grandmother, who marks her 100th birthday this year.

Tuesday's event came just a couple of weeks after the Queen met Parker Bowles for the first time in years at a lunch for the ex-Greek King Constantine.

At that time, it was said she would not accompany the Prince on official engagements, but the dinner was partly a private "thank you" for those who have supported both foundations.

Alec Baldwin was arrested Friday after allegedly punching a man in the face during a dispute over a parking spot outside his New York City home, authorities said.

Police said the actor claimed he had a family member holding the spot for him as he attempted to park his black Cadillac Escalade around 1:30 p.m. (1730 GMT) when a man driving a black Saab station wagon pulled up and took it.

Police said the men were arguing and pushed each other before Baldwin, 60, turned violent.

Baldwin was taken into custody and is expected to face an assault charge.

He's being processed at a nearby precinct in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood.

The driver of the station wagon, 49, was taken to a hospital with jaw pain, police said.

A representative for Baldwin did not immediately respond to a message requesting comment.

NOW'S THE TIME TO SNAP UP THAT LITTLE VERSACE NUMBER FOR OSCAR NIGHT

Just days before the American Academy Awards, Christie's in New York auctioned off 54 dresses, evening gowns and ensembles worn by famous actresses at earlier Oscars.

The charity auction raised nearly 800 thousand dollars for the American Foundation for AIDS research.

The highest price - 167-thousand-500 dollars - was fetched by Elizabeth Taylor's dress, worn at the 1969 Academy Awards and designed by Edith Head.

The Academy Awards, affectionately known as the Oscars, have become synonymous with glamour and each ceremony is now renowned for presenting the pinnacle of the year's fashion.

Christie's auction house in New York decided to use this pseudo fashion event to host a charity auction called "Unforgettable: Fashion of the Oscars" to benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

The gala event presented a stunning selection of 54 of the most beautiful -- and sometimes the most outrageous -- dresses worn to the Academy Awards by some of the most distinguished actresses.

The highest price was fetched by a periwinkle blue and violet faille crepe evening dress designed by Edith Head and worn by Elizabeth Taylor in 1969.

A dress by Madonna brought the second highest price, at nearly 80 thousand dollars.

The third highest price was paid for a dress worn by Kate Winslet, nominated for best supporting actress in Titanic.

Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Glenn Close and Sharon Stone were just some of the Academy Award winners, nominees, presenter and guests who opened their closets and donated their Oscar couture gowns to help amfAR's work in AIDS research.

After rigorous bidding, Mattel Inc. bought the dress for over 150 thousand dollars, but not without stiff competition from A-M-C, American Movie Classics.

Madonna's black silk faille and dove-grey tulle evening ensemble, designed by Olivier Theyskens and Jean Paul Gaultier brought in the second highest price of the evening, just shy of 80 thousand dollars.

The dress worn by Kate Winslet, nominated for best supporting actress in 1997 for her role in "Titanic," brought in the third highest price of 57-thousand-500 dollars.

Designed by Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, the forest green silk crepe marocain and duchesse silk satin evening ensemble was bought by American Movie Classics.

Almost immediately after appearing in the dress, Winslet was dubbed a "Hollywood heavyweight, " implying she was fat by the industry's standards.

For this reason, Lane Bryant, the largest plus-size retailer in the U-S had high hopes for acquiring the dress, in order to make a statement about what it calls "the outrageous standards set for women's bodies at the end of the 20th century. "

Other highlights of the auction included a dress made of 171 gold American Express credit cards, worn by Lizzy Gardiner at the 1994 Academy Awards.

Ms. Gardiner won an Oscar for Best Costume Design with Tim Chappel, for the "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."

The oldest dress sold at auction was originally worn by Janet Leigh in 1959.

The silver beaded dress was designed by Edith Head and sold for 30 thousand dollars.

The world auction record for a dress is 222-thousand-500 dollars, paid for a dress worn by the late Princess Diana.

Just days before the American Academy Awards, Christie's in New York auctioned off 54 dresses, evening gowns and ensembles worn by famous actresses at earlier Oscars.

The charity auction raised nearly 800 thousand dollars for the American Foundation for AIDS research.

The highest price - 167-thousand-500 dollars - was fetched by Elizabeth Taylor's dress, worn at the 1969 Academy Awards and designed by Edith Head.

The Academy Awards, affectionately known as the Oscars, have become synonymous with glamour and each ceremony is now renowned for presenting the pinnacle of the year's fashion.

Christie's auction house in New York decided to use this pseudo fashion event to host a charity auction called "Unforgettable: Fashion of the Oscars" to benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

The gala event presented a stunning selection of 54 of the most beautiful -- and sometimes the most outrageous -- dresses worn to the Academy Awards by some of the most distinguished actresses.

The highest price was fetched by a periwinkle blue and violet faille crepe evening dress designed by Edith Head and worn by Elizabeth Taylor in 1969.

"Well we had thought that it would go for around a hundred thousand to maybe a hundred and twenty five thousand. So we were prepared to go up, a little over budget to 140, and lost. But it's all for a good cause."

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Well, we really wanted to bid on the Kate Winslet dress because she wore it at a time when everyone was calling her fat. And Lane Bryant starts at a size 14. And we really wanted to buy the dress, travel with it around the country and show our customers how skewed and warped Hollywood's sense of body image is. And this is a beautiful, voluptuous woman, and she looked gorgeous."

ALEC BALDWIN SUES MAN WHO ACCUSED HIM OF PARKING SPOT RAGE

Alec Baldwin has filed a defamation lawsuit against the man who says Baldwin hit him in the face during an argument over a New York City parking space.

Baldwin says in his lawsuit that contractor Wojciech Cieszkowski's claim that he was violently assaulted by the actor is "objectively false."

Police arrested Baldwin after the Nov. 2, 2018 scuffle over a parking spot near Baldwin's apartment building. The actor pleaded guilty to harassment in January and agreed to take an anger-management class.

Cieszkowski sued Baldwin last March claiming that Baldwin's assault was "physically painful and psychologically traumatic." Baldwin says in his own lawsuit filed Friday that Cieszkowski's "supposed" injuries required nothing more than Tylenol.

Douglas Lieb, a lawyer for Cieszkowski, called Baldwin's lawsuit "a desperate tactic designed to silence Mr. Cieszkowski."
