Trivia how to lose a guy in 10 days

At the reopening of Mickey’s Toontown , a crowd gathered around the man of the hour — but it wasn’t Mickey Mouse . When I saw the coveralls-clad cat grinning and waving to his newfound fans, I’ll admit I was puzzled. Isn’t this a bad guy? I wondered to myself. Why is everyone so happy to see him in Toontown? “It’s Pete!” kids and adults alike called out. “Hi, Pete!” I love a good Disney villain, probably in part because I share a surname with Cinderella’s evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine. But even with my predisposition to like a bad guy, I couldn’t work out why Pete, the big mean cat always scheming and menacing Mickey and friends, had a place in the happiest land in the “happiest place on earth.” He was the first villain Disney Animation ever portrayed. The last I saw him, a thuggish, leering Pete was smoking a cigar and trying to kidnap Minnie Mouse. It turns out I haven’t been watching enough “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” Because while Pete has almost a century of … [Read more...] about How Disney’s oldest bad guy is now Toontown’s most popular character

The 62nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday were going to take place in the shadow of a scandal : the removal of the Recording Academy chief Deborah Dugan 10 days before the event and the stinging allegations of misconduct at the nonprofit that oversees the awards that she outlined in a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Instead, they took place in the aftermath of tragedy: the death of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash at 41. The host Alicia Keys was tasked with responding to the basketball star’s death on air; she chose to make a statement about “respect” after what she called “a hell of a week,” too. Here are the show’s highlights and lowlights as we saw them.

The insider turmoil looming over the Grammy Awards was summed up pretty succinctly early in the ceremony on Sunday night. “Let me be honest with y’all,” Alicia Keys, the ceremony’s host, said in a pre-song spiel from behind the piano. “It’s been a hell of a week. Damn.” The longer version: A battle within the Recording Academy, the organization behind the awards show, came to a head 10 days before the ceremony when the academy’s new chief executive, Deborah Dugan, was removed from her position. Dugan, in a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said the organization retaliated against her for exposing sexual harassment, corruption in the awards’ nominations process and conflicts of interest. The academy in turn said Dugan fostered a toxic work environment. Dugan’s tenure, as brief as it was — she joined in August — signaled what could have been a step forward for an institution criticized for a gender imbalance and lack of diversity. For a … [Read more...] about Alicia Keys Seems to Reference Grammys Turmoil in Speech

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 HOUSTON (AP) — A hostage rescue in Houston in which one person was fatally shot on Thursday first began days ago when three migrants were kidnapped from a vehicle in a neighboring county, according to a prosecutor. The three migrants had been traveling in a vehicle on Interstate 10 in the southern part of Waller County on March 18 when they were stopped by an unknown number of individuals and forced into another vehicle, said Sean Whittmore, a prosecutor with the Waller County District Attorney’s Office. It is believed the driver of the vehicle with the migrants called 911 and informed the Waller County Sheriff's Office about the kidnapping, Whittmore said. The sheriff’s office later worked with the FBI, whose agents were involved in a shooting early Thursday morning in north Houston in which all three migrants were rescued. The kidnappers demanded money from the family of at least … [Read more...] about Authorities: 1 person fatally shot during rescue of migrants
