A paternity test on a baby orangutan at a Swiss zoo produced a surprising result: The father and mother live in different enclosures. According to the Basel Zoo’s website, baby Padma’s mother, Maja, apparently mated through a fence with Vendel, rather than with Budi, her enclosure mate. Vendel is the zoo’s dominant male and the only one with cheek pads and, the zoo said, “females simply cannot resist a male with cheek pads.” (EXPRESS)

What is Chris Evans planning?

THE DISTRICT A professional rugby club is starting up in the District, set on sparking a love of the game in the Mid-Atlantic and inspiring a new generation of rugby players. Old Glory DC rugby club will join Major League Rugby next year. The league launched in 2018 with teams in Glendale, Colo.; Seattle; San Diego; Salt Lake City; Austin, Texas; New Orleans; and Houston. Old Glory will spend the 2019 season hosting skills combines and tryouts and playing exhibition matches. It will play its first regular-season schedule in 2020. Chris Dunlavey of management firm Brailsford & Dunlavey, who is starting the team along with Paul Sheehy, of Sheehy Auto Stores, said he is trying to build the team from the grassroots up. The District, with its large international community, is one of

RICHMOND The political crisis in Virginia spun out of control Wednesday when the state’s attorney general confessed to putting on blackface in the 1980s and a woman went public with detailed allegations of sexual assault against the lieutenant governor. With Gov. Ralph Northam’s career already hanging by a thread over a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook, the day’s developments threatened to take down all three of Virginia’s top elected officials, all of them Democrats. The twin blows began with Attorney General Mark Herring issuing a statement admitting he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a rapper during a party when he was a 19-yearold student at the University of Virginia. Herring — who had previously called on Northam to resign and was planning to run for governor himself in 2021 — apologized for his “callous” behavior and said that the days ahead “will make it clear whether I can or should continue to serve.” The 57-year-old Herring came clean after rumors about the existence of a blackface photo of him began circulating at the Capitol. Then, within hours, Vanessa Tyson, the California woman whose sexual assault allegations against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax surfaced earlier this week, put out a detailed statement saying Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him in a hotel room in 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston. Tyson, a 42-year-old political scientist who is on a fellowship at Stanford University and specializes in the political discourse on sexual assault, said, “I have no political motive. I am

a proud Democrat.” “Mr. Fairfax has tried to brand me as a liar to a national audience, in service to his political ambitions, and has threatened litigation,” she said. “Given his false assertions, I’m compelled to make clear what happened.” Fairfax has repeatedly denied her allegations, saying that the encounter was consensual. “At no time did she express to me any discomfort or concern about our interactions, neither during that encounter, nor during the months following it, when she stayed in touch with me, nor the past 15 years,” he said in a statement issued Wednesday. Tyson said she suffered “deep humiliation and shame” and stayed quiet about the allegations as she pursued her career, but by late 2017, as the #MeToo movement took shape and after she saw a news article about Fairfax’s campaign, she took her story to The Washington Post,

Speaker Kirk Cox, a conservative Republican. At the Capitol, lawmakers were dumbstruck over the day’s fast-breaking developments, with Democratic Sen.

This is moving way too quickly.” GOP House Majority Leader Todd Gilbert said it would be “reckless” to comment. “There’s just too much flying around.” The chairman of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, Del. Lamont Bagby, said, “We’ve got a lot to digest.” Democrats have expressed fear that the uproar over the governor could jeopardize their chances of taking control of the GOP-dominated Virginia legislature this year. The party made big gains in 2017, in part because of a backlash against President Trump, and has moved to within striking distance of a majority in both houses. ALAN SUDERMAN (AP)

Md. mulls school start date MARYLAND The question of who should decide when schools start in Maryland continues to be up for debate in Annapolis. More than two years after Gov. Larry Hogan, R, ordered public schools to begin classes after Labor Day, a Senate panel has approved legislation that would let school districts determine when school starts and ends. The full Senate is expected to consider the measure for preliminary approval today. Sen. Paul Pinsky, D-Prince George’s, the bill’s sponsor, said the measure would return the authority to decide the calendar

to the state’s 24 school districts, “a responsibility they’ve had for about 50 years up until about 2½ years ago.” The legislative action renews one of the biggest firestorms between Hogan and the legislature.

In 2016, Hogan said delaying the start of the school year would be good for businesses, families and the environment because schools would not have to use air-conditioning in the hot summer months. Educators worried that the calendar decree could eat into academic preparation for students Over the past week, Hogan has lashed out at Democrats on his personal Facebook page for trying to undo his order, accusing “partisan legislators” of “trying to turn back the clock on the progress we have made.” On Wednesday, he called the Senate bill “an incredibly stupid idea.” The bill is a top priority of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education, which says school boards need flexibility.

Brazil’s anti-leftist war enters the classroom

Bolsonaro’s overhaul of education targets ‘Marxist’ teachings

SILVIA IZQUIERDO (AP)

RIO DE JANEIRO President Jair Bolsonaro is taking his anti-leftist ideological war to Brazil’s classrooms and universities, causing angst among teachers and education officials who say the government wants to fight an enemy that doesn’t exist. Bolsonaro and top officials have announced plans to revise textbooks to excise references to feminism, homosexuality and violence against women. They also say the military will take over some public schools, and they frequently bash Paulo Freire, one of Brazil’s most famous educators, whose ideas have had worldwide influence. “One of the goals to get Brazil out of the worst positions in international education rankings is to combat the Marxist rubbish that has spread in educational institutions,” Bolsonaro said. While students may not yet find many differences as they return to school this month, changes are afoot. “We are still waiting to see how, in practice, all this is going to turn out,” said Nilton Brandao, president of one of Brazil’s largest teachers’ unions, PROIFES Federacao. “Right now, it does not make any sense.” For the government, the ideological battle begins with

In October, students protested against then-candidate Jair Bolsonaro.

the removal of Freire’s legacy in schools, which Bolsonaro and other conservatives say turns Bolsonaro students into “political militants.” Freire, who died in 1997, was one of the founders of critical pedagogy. Conservatives contend his method encourages students to challenge traditional values such as family and the church. A socialist, Freire was briefly imprisoned during the 1964-1985 military dictatorship that Bolsonaro has often praised. On the campaign trail, Bolsonaro said he wanted to “enter the Education Ministry with a flamethrower to

remove Paulo Freire.” Bolsonaro and his education minster appear to be looking for inspiration in philosophers like Olavo de Carvalho, a Brazilian who lives in the U.S. and is known for his anti-globalism and antisocialist views. In general, critics say the administration is focused on the wrong things. Claudia Costin, director of Brazil’s Center for Excellence and Innovation in Education Policies, a think tank based in Rio, said efforts should focus on improving training and salaries for teachers, making the entrance exam for teachers tougher and building a common syllabus for schools across the country.

Countering previous research, a study from Harvard University suggests that men who have tried marijuana at some point in their lives have a higher sperm count than men who have not used the drug, Quartz reported Wednesday. The study, by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, was published Wednesday in the journal Human Reproduction. One theory raised by the findings is that occasional use might positively affect the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is known to have an impact on fertility. Further research is needed to support the study’s findings. (EXPRESS)

$1B storms more frequent

Hurricane Michael devastated parts of the Florida Panhandle in October.

JUSTIN SULLIVAN (GETTY IMAGES)

ENVIRONMENT The number of billion-dollar weather disasters in the United States has more than doubled in recent years, as devastating hurricanes and ferocious wildfires that experts suspect are fueled in part by climate change have ravaged swaths of the country, according to data released by the federal government Wednesday. Since 1980, the United States has experienced 241 weather and climate disasters where the overall damage reached or exceeded $1 billion when adjusted for inflation, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. From 1980 to 2018, according to NOAA, the nation averaged roughly a half-dozen such disasters a year. Over the most recent five years, that number jumped to 12.6 a year. “We had about twice the number of billion-dollar disasters than we have in an average year over the last 40 years or so,” Deke Arndt, chief of monitoring at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, told reporters Wednesday. NOA A sa id 14 sepa rate weather and climate disasters costing at least $1 billion each hit the United States during 2018. The disasters killed at least 247 people and cost the nation an estimated $91 billion. The bulk of that damage, about $73 billion,

Climate change is seen as a significant factor in higher disaster costs

The fast-moving Camp Fire decimated Paradise, Calif., in November.

was attributable to three events: hurricanes Michael and Florence and the collection of wildfires that raged across the West. Yet 2018 did not set the record for the most expensive year for such disasters. That distinction belongs to 2017, when Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, combined with devastating Western

wildfires and other natural catastrophes, caused $306 billion in total damage. That year saw 16 separate events that cost more than $1 billion each. But the most recent numbers continue what some experts call an alarming trend toward an increasing number of billion-dollar disasters, fueled, at least in part,

by the warming climate. “There’s this knot in your stomach where you know there is some big piece of this that is probably coming from climate change, but at the same time, there are a lot of moving parts,” said Solomon Hsiang, a public policy professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Many factors contribute to the cost of any one disaster. For instance, a hurricane that hits a heavily populated area is likely to have a far higher economic impact than one that hits a less crowded area. A growing population, inconsistent building codes and the fact that many cities sit near coasts or along rivers also play a role. But increasingly, experts say, so does climate change. There are projections that the impact of climate change should soon be making itself felt in the cost of at least some disasters. A 2014 analysis by the Rhodium Group, for instance, projected that by 2030, the average damage from hurricanes and nor’easters would be $3 billion to $7.3 billion higher each year if climate change continues unabated. The trend itself is an unsustainable one, Hsiang said. “These costs are enormous. If we really continue to sustain costs like this going forward, many elements of the way we’ve managed resources in society are just not financially sustainable,” he said. “We are spending huge amounts of money on disaster relief.” BRADY DENNIS AND CHRIS MOONEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Vatican clarifies pope comment on sex ‘slavery’ VATICAN CITY The Vatican on Wednesday clarified comments by Pope Francis about a case of what he called “sexual slavery” within a French congregation of nuns, saying he was referring to an abuse of power that was reflected in instances of sexual abuse. Francis cited the case during a press conference Tuesday when responding to a question about the sexual abuse of nuns by clergy. It was the pope’s firstever public acknowledgment of the problem of priests and bishops sexually abusing nuns. He stressed that the Vatican had been confronting the issue and vowed to do more. Vatican spokesman Alessandro Gisotti said Wednesday that Francis “spoke of ‘sexual slavery’ to mean ‘manipulation’ or a type of abuse of power that is reflected in a sexual abuse.” The Community of St. Jean admitted in 2013 that its late founder had behaved “in ways that went against chastity” with women in the order, according to the French Catholic newspaper La Croix. The Vatican under Pope Benedict XVI ultimately dissolved an offshoot of the congregation. The issue has come to the fore amid the Catholic Church’s reckoning with the sexual abuse of minors and the #MeTooinspired acknowledgement that adults can be victims whenever there is an imbalance of power in a relationship.

POLITICS President Trump warned Congress that investigations and legislation don’t mix. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi said such threats have no place in the House, as unbowed Democrats charged ahead Wednesday with plans to probe Trump’s tax returns, business and ties to Russia. The chairman of the intelligence committee, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, announced a broad new investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s foreign financial interests. Other committees’ actions are well under way. The day after the president essentially laid out the ultimatum to Congress during his State of the Union address, Democrats appeared even more resolved to conduct oversight of his administration and legislate on their priorities. “The president should not bring threats to the floor of the House,” Pelosi told reporters, rebuking Trump for saying during his address that the “ridiculous partisan investigations” must end because they could harm the economy. Pelosi said Congress has a responsibility to provide oversight, under the Constitution’s system of checks and balances, and would be “delinquent” if it failed to do so. Schiff indicated his committee’s investigation will be sweeping. It will include “the scope and scale” of Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election; the “extent of any links and/or coordination” between Russians and Trump’s associates; whether foreign actors have sought to hold leverage over Trump or his family and associates; and whether anyone has sought to obstruct any of the relevant investigations. “We’re going to do our jobs, and the president needs to do

to work with the White House on shared priorities, particularly on lowering prescription drug costs and investing in infrastructure. The House intelligence committee also voted Wednesday to send the transcripts from the panel’s earlier Russia investigation to special counsel Robert Mueller. Republicans ended that probe in March, concluding there was no evidence of conspiracy or collusion between Russia and Trump’s presidential campaign. Democrats strongly objected at the time, saying the move was premature. The voluminous cache will include transcripts of interviews with Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.; his son-in-law, Jared Kushner; his longtime spokeswoman, Hope Hicks; and his former bodyguard, Keith Schiller. There are dozens of other transcripts of interviews with former Obama administration officials and Trump associates. LISA MASCARO AND MARY CLARE JALONICK (AP)

At 82 minutes, President Trump’s SOTU speech was third-longest after Bill Clinton’s 2000 and 1995 addresses

POLITICS Congressional negotiators worked toward a deal Wednesday that could increase fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border without delivering President Trump the wall money he wants, as pressure built to reach agreement ahead of a government shutdown deadline next week. A bipartisan committee of House and Senate lawmakers traded offers behind the scenes, with Democrats saying money for border barriers was on the table and Republicans acknowledging they won’t get Trump the $5.7 billion he wants for his wall. Lawmakers hope to have a tentative deal by Friday or soon thereafter, to allow time for it to pass the House and Senate by Feb. 15. That’s when funding runs out for a large portion of the federal government, causing another partial shutdown if Congress and Trump don’t act. Leaders of both parties were clear that — after the longest-ever shutdown ended late last month with Trump signing a short-term spending bill that included no new money for his wall — they want to reach finality soon to avoid another funding lapse. “We’ve got to find some place in the middle,” said Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Miss., who sits on the 17-member conference committee that is trying to produce a deal. “We know the Dems are absolutely not going to do 5.7 [billion dollars]. But what can they do — and what can we accept?” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump, Kim will meet in Vietnam FOREIGN AFFAIRS President Trump will hold a twoday summit Feb. 27 to 28 with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam to continue his efforts to persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons. Trump has said his outreach to Kim and their first meeting in June in Singapore opened a path to peace. But there is not yet a firm plan that says how denuclearization could be implemented. The Vietnamese city where the leaders will meet was not announced. Denuclearizing North Korea is something that has eluded the U.S. for more than two decades. “We continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula,” Trump said Tuesday in his State of the Union address. Satellite video taken since the June summit has indicated North Korea is continuing to produce nuclear materials.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un greets President Trump during their historic meeting last June.

At the second Trump-Kim summit, some observers say North Korea might seek to trade the destruction of its main nuclear complex for a U.S. promise to formally declare the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. On a related issue, the State Department said this week that the U.S. and South Korea have reached a tentative deal to share the costs of keeping 28,500 U.S. troops there. DEB RIECHMANN (AP)

TRADE DEADLINE

Harris joins star-studded 76ers lineup

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

The Wizards need to trade Bradley Beal before the NBA deadline at 3 p.m. today. After reportedly agreeing to a deal to send Otto Porter Jr. to the Bulls on Wednesday, the Wizards need to make everyone available. Forget fire sale — this is a bonfire sale. And oh, finally get rid of general manager Ernie Grunfeld. Tuesday’s news that John Wall ruptured his Achilles tendon signaled the end of the Wizards as we know them. Wall might not return until the 2020-21 season, and he’ll probably be a shadow of himself. It’s time to move on to a new era and take radical steps, because Washington’s current methods sure aren’t working. The Wizards need to accumulate a fistful of picks and have someone new make those draft decisions. It can’t be Grunfeld, who has repeatedly wasted picks on European projects who never worked

out. Wizards owner Ted Leonsis needs to listen to his remaining fans who have been begging him to fire the GM. If Leonsis loves Grunfeld so much, pay him to oversee the Capital City Go-Go of the G League, but the Wizards need a new direction. There’s nothing to salvage. It would be easy to decide to build around Beal, but the twotime All-Star is more valuable to the team’s future as trade bait. Beal probably won’t want to re-sign in 2021 anyway, so the Wizards should get a firstrounder who can help when they are ready to win again. Leonsis will likely resist a complete rebuild, and Grunfeld will insist that they patch a few spots and await Wall’s return. But that’s just wasting time. Past efforts to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic have this team steadily sinking to the bottom of the NBA. Sure, Leonsis says he won’t tank, because the NBA would punish him otherwise. Dallas owner Mark Cuban was fined

Ready for a reset: It’s time to blow up this Wizards team

$600,000 for such talk last year. But tanking is exactly what the Wizards should do. Trying to squeak into the playoffs as an eighth seed is foolish. This team needs to completely crumble if it’s going to rise from the ashes. The upside in the NBA is that teams can quickly bounce back if they hit in the draft. The Wizards need to find two future stars over the next few drafts, and they’ll need to acquire enough picks to offset their talent evaluators’ inevitable misses. The Wizards have three tasks before the NBA draft in June: trade players for picks,

miss the playoffs to be in the lottery and fire Grunfeld. Maybe they’ll get a top-three selection and be able to draft a difference-maker like Duke’s Zion Williamson or RJ Barrett or Murray State’s Ja Morant. But unless the Wizards take radical steps like trading Beal, they’ll never emerge from this cycle of mediocrity that has largely smothered the franchise since 1980. The team has no chance of ever being a true contender unless it starts over once more.

Philadelphia made a blockbuster move Tuesday night in a six-player trade with the Clippers, adding forward Tobias Harris to a lineup that includes Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler. Harris, who was nearly an All-Star this season, is averaging 20.9 points per game. The 76ers sent rookie guard Landry Shamet, their 2020 protected first-round pick and an unprotected 2021 first-round pick (via the Heat) to the Clippers. The 76ers also jettisoned forwards Wilson Chandler and Mike Muscala and 2021 and 2023 second-round picks (via the Pistons). Philadelphia also got 7-foot-3 center Boban Marjanovic and sharpshooting forward Mike Scott from the Clippers. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Wizards trade Porter to the Bulls

The Wizards reportedly agreed to a deal Wednesday evening to trade forward Otto Porter Jr. to the Chicago Bulls for forwards Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker and a 2023 second-round pick, according to ESPN. Porter, 25, is in the second year of a four-year, $106.5 million contract. Porter, the third overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft, is averaging 12.6 points a game this season. The move clears salary caps space for the Wizards. Parker, 23, and Portis, 23, are both expected to enter free agency after this season. (EXPRESS)

MLB considers drastic rule changes BASEBALL Major League Baseball and its players’ union have had substantive discussions in recent days over a series of proposed rule changes for 2019 and beyond that could be among the most drastic for the sport in years, according to two people familiar with those talks. The discussions have included both on-field rule changes, pushed by Commissioner Rob Manfred, and proposals from the union to improve competitive balance. The specific rule-change proposals, first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by a

person familiar with the discussions, include: The adoption of the designated hitter in the National League, making the DH universal across both leagues. A rule requiring pitchers to face a minimum of three batters, except in the case of injury or when finishing an inning. A 20-second pitch clock, a timesaving device Manfred has espoused for more than a year. A single trade deadline before the All-Star break, to replace the traditional July 31 deadline and the Aug. 31 waivertrade deadline. The expansion of rosters from 25 to 26 players, with a maximum of 12 pitchers. A reduction in mound visits from six to five.

Commissioner Rob Manfred has been advocating rule changes to speed up the game.

BOB LEVEY (GETTY IMAGES)

Proposals include ways to speed up the game, adopting DH in the NL

A rule, which would be tested in spring training and at the AllStar Game, that would have each half-inning in extra innings begin with a runner on second base. Tweaks to the draft order to reward winning teams and penalize perennial losing teams.

A rule that would permit twosport athletes, such as Kyler Murray, to sign major league contracts as an enticement to play baseball. The proposals remain in preliminary stages and it is unclear which, if any, would be implemented in 2019.

Many of MLB’s proposals were designed for the purpose of speeding up the game, one of Manfred’s top priorities. The union, meanwhile, has made it a priority to entice teams to spend money after watching many teams largely sit out this winter’s free agent market. Of all the proposed changes, the universal DH arguably would be the most significant to the game on the field. Since 1973, baseball has operated with different rules for the NL and AL. The union has long backed the adoption of the DH in the NL, the thinking being that those jobs would largely go to veteran hitters at higher salaries. Some NL owners, however, have resisted the change. DAVE SHEININ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Nats bring back Hellickson to compete for No. 5 job

KNICKS’ VALUE

$4B

The amount the New York Knicks are worth, making them the most valuable NBA team for the fourth straight year, according to Forbes. That’s despite the team entering Wednesday with an NBA-worst 10-43 record. Forbes says the Lakers remain in second ($3.7B), followed by the Warriors ($3.5B), Bulls ($2.9B) and Celtics ($2.8B). The Wizards are 16th at $1.55B. (AP)

The Nationals agreed to a oneyear deal with Jeremy Hellickson, according to sources. The righthander, who will turn 32 early in the 2019 season, was 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA in 91 ⅓ innings for the Nats in 2018. Hellickson will make $1.3 million on a major league deal, with the potential to earn an additional $4 million in incentives, indicating that the Nationals expect him to compete to be the team’s fifth starter.

A new exhibition pays homage to hip-hop’s history and innovators EXHIBITS The influence of hip-hop has reached every corner of the world, and now the genre is being honored in our little corner. The Hip-Hop Museum PopUp Experience at Blind Whino features more than 500 items — some owned by Jeremy Beaver, the founder of Listen Vision

Studios in D.C., and others donated — and claims to be one of the largest collections to preserve and share historic moments that made the genre not just a billion-dollar industry but also a way of life. The museum launched last month to commemorate the 40th anniversary of “Rapper’s Delight,” the first rap single to reach Billboard’s Top 40. Beaver shared his idea for a hiphop-centric museum a year ago with David Mays, who started a

and music label. You’ll find an electric chair with Death Row Records’ logo emblazoned on it near items related to Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg, but it

isn’t obvious that you’ve crossed into ’90s West Coast hardcore rap territory until you’ve digested all of the items on display. If you aren’t intrigued by tapes commemorating the heyday of “Yo! MTV Raps,” there’s always the microphones signed by such hip-hop greats as Ice Cube or the Nike sneakers inspired by De La Soul. Mays hopes the exhibition finds a permanent home in D.C. “There are so many parts of the country that have their own unique history with hip-hop,” he says. “Why not have a museum in the capital that reflects that music and important culture?” NIA DECAILLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Smith, 38, moved to D.C. from Ohio a decade ago and in 2016 started Bailiwick, a clothing company that specializes in D.C.-inspired designs, with his brother Jeff. Bailiwick is still a side hustle for Smith, who designs the company’s apparel (available online and at popups) and works full time as a sales manager in the electrical industry, but he has dreams of opening his own shop. With two gigs to juggle, Smith has a simple idea for a perfect day in D.C. “I want to just take my time,” he says. “I feel like I’m always rushing.” And as a small-business owner, Smith would spend that time supporting local shops and restaurants. “A lot of the places that I like to frequent and patronize are small businesses, because that’s the engine that makes the city go.”

weekendpass Q&A | JANE HARPER

Her mysteries are as big as Australia In the opening pages of Jane Harper’s new murder mystery, “The Lost Man,” two brothers meet at the remote fence line that separates their sprawling, desolate cattle ranches. Their middle brother is dead at their feet, his body angled near the worn headstone that provides the only shade in the scorching Australian heat. This is the Outback, where next-door neighbors live three hours apart, where howling wild dingoes hint at the danger lurking in the unforgiving landscape. In “The Lost Man,” as in Harper’s previous two novels, place is paramount, a multifaceted character that’s in turns brutal and breathtaking. On Sunday, the Melbourne-based Harper makes her first trip to D.C. for a book talk at Politics and Prose at Union Market. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) judges, whether it’s something worth pursuing or not. And then you won. Were you floored? I was. I remember getting the phone call saying I had been short-listed, so I was one of three. At that moment, I thought, “Wow, this could really happen. If I take this opportunity and play my cards right, this could actually get published.” It was such a surreal feeling. I still remember it so clearly to this day. You’ve set each of your books — 2017’s “The Dry,” 2018’s “Force of Nature” and now “The Lost Man” — in isolated corners of Australia. What made you choose the Outback as the setting for this one? I became really fascinated by people who live in such remote communities, [with little] human contact and services and the things we all take for granted. I got to go out there as part of my research and drive across the Outback and speak to people who live miles from anyone else, and it was so fascinating. I’ve never seen anything like it.

KATSNAP PHOTOGRAPHY

You wrote the draft of your first novel, “The Dry,” in 12 weeks, and then submitted it to the Victorian Premier’s Unpublished Manuscript competition. It won, opening the door to what’s become significant commercial and critical success. What made you decide to finally sit down and write it? I’d always wanted to write a novel, but I was never sure if I could. I was a print journalist for 13 years, and I struggled a bit to find the time and motivation to write something of my own outside my full-time job. But it got to the point where I realized it was important enough to me that, even if it never got published, I just wanted to do it for myself. I knew the awards were held at the same time every year, and having worked in print journalism for so long, I knew I responded really well to deadlines. So I gave myself a deadline to try and enter the competition, to see if I could get any feedback — that was my only aim for entering, because nobody else had read it, and I thought, I’ll see if I get any comments from the

Tell us more about that research and reporting. I was out there [i n Queensland] for about a week , a nd before that, I spent four months researching and speaking to people who live in those areas — people who do helicopter mustering, so they round up the cattle from the air, and people who provide medical services in really remote communities, and people who teach in schools, which used to be over the radio and is now online.

I went in February — the height of summer, so it was really hot, easily in the 40s centigrade [over 104 degrees Fahrenheit]. I met a retired police officer, who was the only police officer in this Outback town for 10 years, policing an area the size of England all on his own. He drove me 900 kilometers across the Outback, while he told me stories and answered my questions, and we saw incredible scenery. I learned so much from him, and it played into the book in a lot of different ways.

What’s it like to have your first novel heading to the big screen? It’s really exciting — it’s not something I ever expected to happen when I was writing the book. Eric Bana is a great Australian actor, and they’re actually starting filming here in Australia in February. I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens. So many books get optioned and [the film] never really happens, so the fact that so many people have put time and effort and resources into it is great.

Late last year, it was announced that Eric Bana would star in the movie adaptation of “The Dry.”

track, says Tracy Harris, senior vice president of the events. “The look on people’s faces when they realize, ‘Yeah, I can do this’ has been amazing,” she says. You’re not allowed to go over 11 mph on the small track, but it’s still pretty exciting for new riders, Harris says. “If you’re interested in trying it out, be sure to wear long pants and flat shoes,” she adds. Thusly attired, you can also try the wheelie machine or

sit on a (non-moving) Ducati or Harley-Davidson motorcycle and feel the rumble of the engine as you shift through the gears. You have to be 18 or older to try these activities, or 17 with parental permission. Everyone else, down to age 2, can pedal around an electric-assist bicycle styled to look like a motorcycle. If you’re a committed motorcycle enthusiast, you may want to skip the “Discover the Ride” zone

and head right to the showcase of the major manufacturers’ 2019 models. There’s also a gallery of vintage motorcycles, and an exhibit of custom motorcycles — vehicles that have been tarted up or even built from scratch by their owners. “They are like works of art on two wheels,” Harris says. One other thing that makes the show interesting, Harris says, is that motorcycling is a moving

target. “Technology is always evolving, and consumer tastes change over time,” she says. Here are two bikes on display at the show that represent the industry’s past and, perhaps, its future. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Fri., 3-7 p.m., Sat., 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun., 10 a.m.5 p.m., $17 ($27 for two-day pass).

2019 Zero DSR 1 2

Able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than four seconds, the 2019 Zero DSR (starting at $16,495) has convinced many traditionalists to give electric motorcycles a second look, says aptly named Zero Motorcycles spokesman Dan Quick. “Whether you ride Harleys or crotch rockets, one thing every thrill-seeker can appreciate is speed,” Quick says. 1

1936 Indian Four When Bob Tyson of New Windsor, Md., bought this motorcycle from a collector in Pennsylvania, “it was bent, broken, busted and rusted,” he says. “If I had told my wife that I’d paid money for it, she would’ve divorced me.” It took the nowretired engineer 20 years to get the bike back to like-new condition, a project that included straightening the frame and rebuilding the engine. “That something this old can still keep right up with all the other traffic on the highway is just amazing to me,” he says. 1

The seat

Though it may look primitive, this leather saddle on a spring is surprisingly comfortable, Tyson says. The only downside? “It was made for one person. A lot of those motorcycles back in the ’30s and ’20s weren’t made to carry passengers.”

2

The paint job

Because Indian Motorcycle was owned by industrialist E. Paul du Pont in the 1930s, buyers could select from a variety of colorful automotive paints made by the DuPont chemical company. For his restoration, Tyson chose a combination of Buckingham Grey and Purple Blue. “Those colors were newly offered in 1936, so that’s why I wanted them,” says Tyson, who also opted for hand-painted gold pinstriping. 3

3

The battery

When fully charged, the lithium-ion battery will keep this motorcycle humming for 163 miles in the city or 78 miles on the highway.

The motor

The air-cooled, 70-horsepower electric motor allows you to quickly reach questionably legal speeds, up to 102 mph, with no shifting. It’s also whisper-quiet, which your neighbors will appreciate.

4

The app

Of course there’s an app. With this one, you can toggle between “sport” and “eco” mode, or customize how quickly the bike accelerates and adjust other functions.

4 3

The engine

The 35-horsepower, four-cylinder engine propels this motorcycle to speeds of up to 90 mph. Also, it’s upside-down, with the carburetor low on the engine and the exhaust manifold near the top, which was thought to help it run more efficiently. “The public did not like the cluttered look of the engine, so sales were poor,” Tyson says. As a result, Indian Motorcycle made only about 300 of these bikes, of which a dozen or so are still around, Tyson says.

The ‘gas tank’

Freed up from its usual job, this area serves as a storage bin — great for carrying the bike’s charger, a cellphone and other odds and ends. Or you can put an extra battery in there, for more range.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

I’m on a factory floor where a worker has taken his manager hostage. Through a window, I see the worker brandishing a gun while chasing his manager back and forth across a small room. “Sir! Put down the firearm,” my partner shouts. I am frozen, useless — reluctant to shoot, even at pixels on a screen. My partner — a Marine in his real life — shoots through the window, killing the gunman and freeing the hostage. The video ends. “Good job,” says our trainer, a middle-aged man who also trains actual police officers. “If that had gone on another six seconds, he would have turned his gun on the hostage and then on you.” I’m at the National Law Enforcement Museum, in the same kind of simulator that police academies use. The simulator is just one of dozens of ways the museum gives visitors the opportunity to “walk in the shoes” of various law enforcement professionals. Over the course of three hours, I answer (simulated) 911 calls, sit in on a real-life (video-recorded) interrogation and attempt to match fabric samples from a (simulated) murder scene. Though it only opened in

October (and charges a hefty admission of $21.95 for adults and $14.95 for kids under 12), this museum has clearly found its audience. On a recent Sunday, the place was buzzing — largely, it seemed, with people who work in law enforcement and their families. I was surprised to see so many kids there. Call me a snowflake, but I found a lot of the content in the museum disturbing. While a few exhibits — including the police training simulator — have “mature content” warnings, the floor is mostly open for all ages to explore. That includes a kiosk where you’re asked to match realistic models of dented skulls with the weapon that did the damage — a gun, a bat, a chef’s knife, an ax and a socket wrench. I was particularly stressed out by a realistic two-story facade of a home that comes alive every 16 minutes with a disturbing tableau of domestic violence: A video projection shows a man threatening a woman, chasing her from the kitchen to the dining room to upstairs, where he finally traps her in a bathroom. A heavily armed SWAT team creeps into the house and hits the man with a stun gun — though when the actor crumpled to the ground, I thought he’d been shot. He stands up again and is escorted out of the house — a happy ending, I suppose.

BEN CLAASSEN III (FOR EXPRESS)

Land of the law: This police story has a few holes

The museum’s focus on the dramatic and violent aspects of law enforcement seems to spill into glamorization at times. For instance, one decorative column features a repeating pattern of police badges alongside weapons, including billy clubs, pistols and submachine guns. This pillar is all the more jarring given its location, near a small exhibit about the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man, in Ferguson, Mo. The exhibit text emphasizes that the white officer wasn’t charged and focuses on subsequent attempts to repair the relationship between the Ferguson community and police. This struck me as a missed educational opportunity. It wouldn’t take much space to mention the nationwide protests that followed the shooting, or the continuing problem of police violence in black communities. (Since 2015, black people — who make up 13 percent of the U.S.

Pro tip: If you’re stressed out by violence, this is not the museum for you. population — accounted for 23 percent of those fatally shot by police, and 36 percent of those who were unarmed when they were killed.) Additionally, a large exhibit about a day in the life of a corrections officer (funded by the California Correctional Peace Officers Association) didn’t give any larger context — including the fact that America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, at roughly 700 per 100,000 people, or the fact that black people make up a vastly disproportionate fraction of this group. These missing facts are a conspicuous absence throughout the museum — they are, for instance, the elephant in a room full of exhibits on

community policing and in the museum’s introductory video, which shows officers working hand in hand with community activists. Even the police training simulation seems to offer a rebuttal to unspoken criticism of police by showing just how difficult it is to decide when to shoot, and whom. As my trainer said, “We make the best decisions we can … but everybody’s going to be able to armchair-quarterback the next day. And unfortunately, that’s what throws everything off.” It’s valuable to consider the perspective of police officers — and to give ordinary people the chance to walk in their shoes. I know I have a newfound appreciation for their difficult jobs. But until it starts offering the larger context, the National Law Enforcement Museum leans more toward propaganda than education.

CONTENT FROM MARYLAND’S BEACH AND BEYOND

Pint by pint, Maryland’s sustainable breweries support local communities Walk into any bar or bottle shop across America these days and the healthy selection of local craft beer is evidence that the artisanal food movement has reached the tap. Now, a new wave of sustainable microbreweries are showing that craft beer can be environmentally friendly as well. Some of those microbreweries are in Maryland, scattered throughout the rolling farmlands of the Piedmont plateau and the Eastern Shore. With fertile acreage for barley, oats and hops—plus a rich history of communitarian values—it’s easy to see why.

Barse calls Milkhouse an “old-fashioned” brewery, which means you won’t find any double chocolate habanero stouts on tap. “We make plain beers with local ingredients so that you can taste what those ingredients are all about,” he said. The Cascade and Chinook hops used in many of Milkhouse’s beers are grown in Stillpoint’s hopyard, and Barse sources most of the other grains, fruits, herbs and honey from local farmers. He ferments wild yeast in the farm’s old milking parlor and he is working with a local maltster to create new regional flavors.

“Sustainable brewing supports local jobs and local farmers,” said Lisa Challenger, director of Worcester County Tourism. “A large portion of every sale of local craft beer stays in the community, so it’s big business for small towns.” D.C.-area residents know rural Maryland well from summertime shore visits and autumnal hiking expeditions, but the burgeoning beer scene offers a reason to visit year round. FeBREWary—Maryland’s month-long celebration of local craft beer—provides an up-close opportunity to see how these sustainable local brewers are taking the importance of community to heart. The journey from farm to tap Less than 10 miles inland from the Ocean City boardwalk, the area around Berlin, Md., is replete with farms and steeped in oldschool agricultural traditions. That made sustainability an easy call for Bryan Brushmiller, owner of Burley Oak Brewing Company in Worcester County. “Being a sustain-

Visitors can try Barse’s “all Maryland” beers in the brewery’s tasting room, before or after touring the farm. “By our customers seeing that working farms are still very much alive in our area, we can continue to educate people on the importance of agriculture in our day-to-day lives and brews,” said Sarah Healey, Milkhouse’s general manager. The Burley Oak team. (Burley Oak Brewing Company)

able brewery in this town is just doing what we do here,” Brushmiller said. “We utilize local ingredients because the products are just better, and it helps your neighbor.” After Brushmiller was laid off from his job in 2009, he took up homebrewing and soon encountered an opportunity: What to do with the spent grain left over from the brewing process? Rather than see it go to waste, he decided to feed it to his chickens. “Even back then,” he said, “my thoughts were, ‘How do I utilize my byproducts? How do I not waste anything?’” Two years later, a local farmer and soil scientist named Brooks Clayville proposed working with Brushmiller to grow and harvest a barley that would be wellsuited to the local climate and could be malted for brewing. After lots of trial and error, they found the perfect strain—a pale barley that forms the basis for Burley Oak’s Homegrown Session IPA, one of approximately 450 beers the brewery has produced since 2011. Burley Oak has no flagship beer, instead taking advantage of close relationships with farmers and a new 3,000-square-foot “Funk Factory” to continually concoct fresh experimentations (they were years ahead of the sour beer trend). Visitors sample a rotating selection at the lively on-site taproom, set in an all-wood 19th century cooperage, and

can enjoy local live music, art unveilings and other events on a regular basis. The spent grain from all that experimentation? It goes to farmers as feed. That local-first mindset can yield pleasant opportunities, like the time a farmer brought over a large batch of blueberry blossom honey for Burley Oak to brew with. “That epitomizes what we do,” Brushmiller said. “We can support a local farmer, make something distinctive, and it will be a quality beer because it’s local and fresh.”

Barse’s law degree came in handy in 2012, when he was instrumental in passing Maryland’s farm brewery law, which created a license that permits the on-site consumption of any beer made with an agricultural product from the farm. It has transformed small farm breweries into destinations for locals and tourists, and it has helped bootstrapped operations be-

Old-fashioned flavors on a working farm “I had farming in my blood,” said Tom Barse, proprietor of Mount Airy’s Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm, which he operates alongside his wife, Carolann McConaughy. Barse’s grandparents grew up on tobacco and sheep farms on the St. Mary’s Peninsula in Maryland and in County Galway, Ireland, and his parents bought farmland in Preston County, W.Va. After Barse took a detour to law school, he and McConaughy purchased the verdant 47-acre Stillpoint Farm. They devised a multifaceted, sustainable agricultural operation on a small scale, raising a rare breed of sheep, harvesting high-quality horse hay, keeping bees, and brewing beer—a passion Barse had pursued as a homebrewer since 1972.

come self-sustaining. Milkhouse was the first brewery to receive the new license; Barse estimates that on a pleasant Saturday in June, as many as 200 people will come by to sip on brews like the Dollyhyde Farmhouse Ale (refreshing, with a touch of spice) and the Homestead Hefeweizen (malty, with mild banana notes). During FeBREWary, Milkhouse will debut the City Slicker Sour Farmhouse, a collaboration with Olde Mother Brewing that utilizes an experimental grain from the University of Maryland Agriculture Extension office. An eco-friendly outpost on the Eastern Shore Education is central to the mission of many sustainable breweries in Maryland, a calling that Jason and Beth Hearn—the founders of Tall Tales Brewing Company in Parsonsburg—take seriously. “We want to ensure that when people visit, they know where their fresh ingredients come from,” Jason Hearn said. “It’s part of their community, and it helps us be responsible as a business and as neighbors.” Tall Tales came about when the Hearns were looking to reutilize the headquarters of their landscaping business, a skill set that proved handy for the eco-friendly construction of the brewery: Large windows save on heating and air, while rain gar-

dens conserve water. The Hearns wanted to make exceptional beer (and food) in an ecologically responsible way. They began sending residual yeast and grains to hog and cattle farmers. They developed a sophisticated water reuse system that allows them to recycle all of the brewery’s wastewater and rainwater catchment back into the crops on site. And they installed a state-of-the-art brewing system and commercial kitchen, which cranks out brick-oven pizzas to pair with mythically named beers like Sasquatch Imperial Stout and Paul Bunyan Belgian Strong Ale.

Special Event: Shore Craft Beer Fest: Love on Tap Seacrets 117, 49th Street Ocean City, MD February 23, 2019 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Tall Tales wants to serve as an example for other small breweries in the area, proving that it’s possible to make great beer, be environmentally responsible and turn a profit. They host live music most Fridays and Saturdays, as well as group functions, charity events and even weddings. For FeBREWary, they’re participating in the Love on Tap Shore Craft Beer Fest, alongside other local breweries.

“We view ourselves as an important part of the community,” Beth Hearn said. “When they come here, our neighbors know that we’re trying to take care of the environment—not just for us, but for years to come.”

Sizing up this year’s Grammy field For the first time in Grammys history, eight nominees will compete for album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist. Here’s a look at how expanding the field will affect Sunday’s ceremony. KRISTIN M. HALL (AP) Adding diversity

Playing the odds

More competition

Vote splitting

Upsets on the way?

Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow said adding three slots would “broaden the ability of entries to be more diverse,” not only in terms of gender and ethnicity but also genre. This year, women are a majority of the contenders in two of the top categories. In record of the year, five nominees are rap songs.

For best new artist, six female acts (H.E.R., Margo Price, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Chloe x Halle and Jorja Smith) are up for the award, which looks like good odds for a woman to win. “That said, starting from the assumption that every artist has an equal probability is likely incorrect,” awards analyst Ben Zauzmer says.

Why do more nominations not necessarily point toward more victories for women and rap artists? “Though you probably need fewer votes to win, there’s now a lot more competition in order to get those votes,” Zauzmer says. “My best guess is this will reward songs or artists that have a truly devoted following.”

In fact, vote splitting along genre lines or between two similar artists has become a real risk. The record of the year nominees include five rappers — Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Childish Gambino. That’s a scenario where a split vote could hurt a rap song’s chances of actually winning.

The expanded field could also create a greater chance for surprising results. “The fact that you probably don’t need as many votes to win, the fact that some nominees might be splitting votes with each other who might otherwise be favorites, that can definitely lead to more so-called upsets,” Zauzmer says.

Lack of female comics makes Grammys a joke COMEDY Here’s your annual reminder that, nope, you don’t have to be involved with anything musical whatsoever to win a Grammy. Comedians can get one, too, and one will at Sunday’s ceremony. But something curious happened with this year’s best comedy album category: For the first time since 2007, all of the nominees are men. And that’s especially surprising now, when some of the most urgent and critically acclaimed comedy is coming from women. Ali Wong’s “Hard Knock Wife,” Michelle Wolf’s “Nice Lady,” Tig Notaro’s “Happy to Be Here” and Natasha Leggero’s “The Honeymoon Stand Up Special” were all released within the eligibility period (Oct. 1, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018). That also goes for Hannah Gadsby’s “Nanette,” which created immense buzz and prompted a new level of conversation about the very nature of stand-up. Perhaps the exclusion of women isn’t so much of a shock considering the Grammys’ history. A look back at the nominees since 1959, when the Recording

Third page’s the charm.

Hannah Gadsby, left, and Ali Wong both released critically acclaimed stand-up specials in 2018 but failed to receive Grammy nominations.

Academy first doled out prizes, shows a lineup of usual suspects. Of this year’s slate — Patton Oswalt, Dave Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan, Fred Armisen and Chris Rock — only Armisen is a first-time nominee. In fact, fewer than two dozen women have been nominated as solo acts. But as there is a larger cultural shift around gender roles and overt sexism has become less socially acceptable, that’s naturally impacted comedy, too. Now, there are all kinds of comics who happen to be women, rather than performers only getting pigeonholed as “lady comics.” That has created space for

performers such as Gadsby, who put out a special unlike any other comic. And for Wong and Leggero, who performed their specials while visibly pregnant. And for lesser-known comics to work out their material and emblazon their own paths. Still, comedy hasn’t reached gender parity on some of pop culture’s biggest stages. All of network TV’s late-night shows are hosted by male comics (over on cable, there’s only Busy Philipps and Samantha Bee). And on Sunday night, a man will win a Grammy for best comedy album, no matter what. ELAHE IZADI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“Disabled emojis? Interracial couple emojis? THE WAFFLE EMOJI??!? This is the best update yet and I can not be swayed to think otherwise.” @SARAHBCOLEMAN, reacting to the

2019 crop of emojis approved by the Unicode Consortium, which will be available on mobile phones later this year. Updates include mixed-raced and mixed-gender couples as well as mechanical prosthetics, hard-ofhearing people, wheelchairs and an otter.

“Nancy Pelosi is the perfect amount of petty we all should aspire to have.” @ALEXANDERGOLD, praising the House speaker’s snarky applause for President Trump during Tuesday night’s State of the Union. The president’s comment that politicians “must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution” caused the California Democrat — who sat for most of the speech — to stand and clap aggressively at Trump, an action perceived as a call for him to heed his own advice. The speaker’s pointed response became an instant meme.

“Whoever’s running this account deserves a raise.” @JAVACHIK, joking about the Sacramento Kings’ Twitter thread Monday on “the absolute most exciting highlights” of their game against the San Antonio Spurs. The thread was made “in the spirit” of Sunday’s Super Bowl LIII, which was panned for being boring and was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history. The Kings’ tweeted highlights were similarly mundane — mainly rebounds and fouls.

“Lupita Nyong’o is giving a better performance in THIS POSTER than most actors will give in their entire careers.” @JARETTSAYS, tweeting about the new

poster for Jordan Peele’s horror film “Us.” Fans praised Lupita Nyong’o for bringing so much emotion to the image. Many are wildly anticipating the movie’s March release, such as @lenikacruz, who tweeted, “I’ve never been more ready to be traumatized in my life.”

DIFFICULT

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If it’s practice you need, it’s practice you can have — and it can be more fun and productive if you take a friend along. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re trying to put a plan in motion without having taken care of one of the most basic steps. Go see what you missed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can maintain control of your own activities in your own surroundings, but once you step into “foreign” territory, much is going to change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your instincts can keep you on the straight and narrow today, preventing you from being influenced negatively by a certain someone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may find yourself in a position that allows you to assert yourself in a new way. This can be a very productive moment of discovery.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may choose to do things on a larger scale than you have in the past. You’ll attract some criticism.

TODAY: A passing shower remains possible, but most of the day should be dry with partly cloudy skies. Otherwise temperatures trend a bit warmer again, rising toward highs in the upper 50s. At night, there could be a few light showers as yet another system approaches from the west. Temperatures will be in the 50s.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your mood swings needn’t get in your way today; you should be able to proceed according to plan. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are ready for the attention you’re likely to get, but even you will have had enough by day’s end. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be confused by someone else’s unpredictable behavior. That which is most unexpected can prove most valuable to you in the end.

ENGAGEMENTS

Jennifer is now set for life with her wall decor

So there was a point to all those parties Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed to Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday why she wanted to take husband Nick Jonas’ last name. “I didn’t realize it was that much of a big deal until I did it,” she said, noting that she had always intended to change her name. “I always wanted to add his name to mine because I feel like we’re becoming family, and I’m a little traditional and old-school like that.” (EXPRESS)

Jennifer Lawrence is engaged to boyfriend Cooke Maroney, her publicist confirmed Wednesday. Rumors of the couple’s engagement intensified earlier this week, when Page Six reported that the actress was wearing a “massive ring” on her finger while out to dinner with Maroney at French restaurant Raoul’s in New York City. The Daily Mail reported in June that Lawrence was dating Maroney, who is the director of a Manhattan-based art gallery. Previously, Lawrence was in a relationship with “Mother!” director Darren Aronofsky for roughly a year before the couple broke up in November of 2017. (AP/EXPRESS)

MARRIAGE

ADVICE?

Ah, so that’s why Nick is still single after Mariah Nick Cannon revealed on Tuesday’s “The Wendy Williams Show” that he gave Pete Davidson, 25, dating advice following rumors of a possible romance with Kate Beckinsale, 45. “We were having cougar conversations,” Cannon said while taking over hosting duties for Williams. “I’m the one who told him, ‘Get you an older woman, man!’ “ (EXPRESS)

“There’s nothing more that I wanted than to cook my own baby.”

TIPPING

Page Six reported that “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Ramona Singer tipped just $1 on her $20 bill at a New York City pizza shop Sunday. “She ordered the Brussels sprout salad and a water,” a source told the outlet, noting that Singer wore an all-blue fitness outfit. “She was alone and rarely looked up from her phone during her one-hour lunch.” (EXPRESS)

HEALTH

Michael reveals that he went to see a therapist Michael B. Jordan told Oprah Winfrey on Tuesday that he went to therapy after filming “Black Panther.” “I started talking to people, starting unpacking a little bit,” he told the talk show host for Winfrey’s upcoming TV special, People reported. Jordan noted that getting into character for the role of Erik Killmonger drove him to seek help. “I think just being in that kind of mind state … it caught up with me,” he said. (EXPRESS)
