LONDON -- Roger Moore, the suavely insouciant star of seven James Bond films, has died in Switzerland. He was 89. The British actor died Tuesday after a short battle with cancer, according to a family statement posted on Moore's official Twitter account. "We know our own love and admiration will be magnified many times over, across the world, by people who knew him for his films, his television shows and his passionate work for UNICEF, which he considered to be his greatest achievement," the statement said. IN ACTION IN THE MOVIE "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" Moore's relaxed style and sense of whimsy, which relied heavily on the arched eyebrow, seemed a commentary on the essential ridiculousness of the Bond films, in which the handsome British secret agent was as adept at mixing martinis, bedding beautiful women and ordering gourmet meals as he was at disposing of super-villains trying to take over the world. "To me, the Bond situations are so rid

Four people were killed and many hurt when police clashed Tuesday with former rebels barricading the road into Bouake, Ivory Coast's second biggest city, in the spillover from a corrosive army mutiny over pay. The protesters said security forces opened fire to disperse them, but the government denied responsibility. "Security forces deployed conventional measures to maintain order," Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko said in a statement. "But some of the armed demonstrators pulled the pin out of a grenade that exploded among them," he added. Three bloodied bodies were brought into the main Bouake hospital, an AFP reporter said, shortly after police stepped in to evict protesters who had obstructed the northbound road into Bouake on Monday. A fourth person later died, he was among around 15 people seriously injured in the clashes, hospital sources said. The highway into Bouake is the main road for the world's top cocoa producer, linking the econom

The 24-year-old is hitting it deep online for her very distinctive dark complexion and for not trying to bleach her skin as some would. She loves her dark skin, and she’s prepared to clap back at anyone who has anything negative to say about it — including an Uber driver who decided it was his job to ask if she would consider bleaching. “I was [asked by] my Uber driver the other day, he said, ‘Don’t take this offensive but if you were given 10 thousand dollars would you bleach your skin for that amount?'” the beauty queen wrote on Instagram in late March. “I couldn’t even respond I started laughing so hard.” “[Then] he said, ‘So that's a no’ and I was like hell to the f*king yeah [that’s] a no, why on earth would I ever bleach this beautiful

THE MEADOWS FAMILY INCLUDING JONATHAN MEADOWS BACKROW WARREN, OHIO ― Bresha Meadows, a 15-year-old who fatally shot her father in his sleep last summer, pleaded true to a charge of involuntary manslaughter on Monday, ending a legal ordeal that began over nine months earlier. “This is a good child,” her attorney, Ian Friedman, said in Ohio’s Trumbull County Family Court. “She grew up in an environment where every adult failed her. … This did not have to happen.” As part of a plea agreement, Bresha was sentenced to a year and a day in juvenile detention, as well as six additional months at a residential mental health facility and two years of probation. She’ll get credit for time served, so she can move to the mental health facility in about two months. Her record will be sealed and expunged when she reaches adulthood. Her family will likely be responsible for shouldering the cost of the mental health facility. They are raising money for her on GoFundMe. BRESHA AND LATE DAD
