The best-laid plans often go awry. As do the really, really bad ones.
Mother’s Day will be awkward this year, but whose fault is that?
A Vermont man is facing charges that he used a shotgun to silence a smoke detector in his kitchen. Police say shots fired Monday from the gun owned by Leroy Mason, of Barton, hit the adjoining wall of another apartment. Police say Mason complained of frequent false alarms from his smoke detector and was upset that fire crews wouldn’t relocate it, so he “took it upon himself to relocate the smoke detector, and shot it with the shotgun.” (AP)
Police in Leicester, Mass., say a fingerprint left in Play-Doh led them to a shoplifting suspect. Officers responded on Dec. 11 after a Walmart employee found several electronic anti-theft devices that had been covered in Play-Doh in an effort to neutralize them. The attempt failed, and the suspect fled — but he left a fingerprint in the Play-Doh. Police said Monday that a lab had helped them find a match for the print. (AP)
Police in Long Island say a man who held up a string of businesses while hiding behind a surgical mask has been identified by his mother. Officials say the 50-year-old Bellport man turned himself in on Monday, two days after Suffolk County police released a picture of the suspect in an April 24 robbery at an East Patchogue gas station. Police say the man told them his mother was able to identify him from the picture. (AP)

Books by, for people of color Bookstores that create spaces for minorities thrive in the District
Derrick Young and his wife are the owners of MahoganyBooks.
BONNIE JO MOUNT PHOTOS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
BOOKS Inside a bookstore inside an arts center in one of the city’s most underserved neighborhoods sit stacks of books for what Angela Spring calls “the other D.C.” It’s the D.C. that sits apart from gilded towers of governance. The D.C. that is black, brown, immigrant, other. Spring, owner of Duende District, a pop-up bookstore that exclusively carries books written by and about people of color, gestures to titles such as “An African American and Latinx History of the United States,” a look at the shared experience and struggle of black and Latino people, and “The Poet X,” by District poet Elizabeth Acevedo. On this day, Spring was working out of MahoganyBooks, which in November became the first new bookstore to open east of the Anacostia River in more than 20 years. These small, independent bookstores have managed to find their place in an industry dominated by Amazon.com. Finding a niche, bookstore industry
Angela Spring, center, is the creator of pop-up bookstore Duende District.
experts say, is the path forward and has spurred an increase in independent bookstores throughout the District and nationwide. “We’re a town full of people of color, full of people from all
over, and I think a lot about how we can best serve these communities,” Spring said. “With Duende District, I want people of color to come into a space like this — a gorgeous, welcoming,
sensory space — and feel like, yes, this is all for you.” MahoganyBooks, owned by married couple Derrick and Ramunda Young, has a complementary mission: to provide books written for, by and about “people of the African diaspora” to residents of Southeast Washington. Though the shop has existed online for more than a decade, the Youngs said it’s important to create a physical space as well. “We wanted to have a community presence, something that would allow us to do events, that would be a cultural hub where people could really get into what we’re trying to build,” Derrick Young said. As the city has changed and the number of black residents in the city has fallen, Spring said she felt increasingly compelled to carve out dedicated space for people of color. “Book culture is so important, but for so long in this country it has been the [province] of white people — they were the gatekeepers,” Spring said. “Think about all these communities here that are not white, affluent or centered around the federal government. That’s the real city. That’s who we’re here for.” MARISSA J. LANGE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

local City officials examine D.C. lawmaker’s ties to digital sign company THE DISTRICT Ethics officials are investigating D.C. Council member Jack Evans, D-Ward 2, for his dealings with a digital sign company that would have benefited from legislation he proposed, according to District government officials familiar with the matter. Among other things, investigators are scrutinizing $50,000 the company tried to pay a small firm owned by Evans in 2016 — several months before the lawmaker circulated a bill that would have aided the sign business in a dispute with D.C. regulators.
Digi Media Communications wrote two $25,000 checks Aug. 11, 2016, to NSE Consulting, a company Evans had established less than a month earlier, according to city officials with knowledge of the payment. Evans did not deposit the checks and returned them two weeks later to Digi Media board member Donald MacCord, citing concerns about a potential conflict of interest. Evans said in an interview that he negotiated the payment as a retainer for legal services he planned to offer the sign company in its business dealings outside D.C. He said the arrangement would not have violated ethics rules because he could have recused himself from council votes affecting the sign company.

Biotech engineer found dead in deprivation tank A controversial biotech engineer was found dead Sunday in a sensory deprivation tank at a spa in downtown D.C. Police said the body of Aaron Traywick, 28, who ran a company called Ascendance Biomedical, was found by staff in an isolation pod at Soulex Float Spa. An official said the cause of death is pending an autopsy, but there’s no evidence to suggest foul play. Traywick was known as a bio-hacker, a genetic engineer or scientist who works outside mainstream ethical and institutional guidelines. (TWP)
perspective, I like to be very clean, for lack of a better way of discussing it, because the perception always becomes more important than reality.” Evans said no specific event triggered him to return the $50,000. “It was just getting the checks and saying, ‘Hmm, I don’t think this is a good idea,’” he said. On Aug. 25, Evans sent the checks back to MacCord with a letter stating that he had learned the company was “engaged in a potential dispute” with the District about the construction of its signs and that “it is in both of our best interests for me to delay the initiation of a business relationship with your company while this potential conflict exists.” PETER JAMISON AND

Redskins cheerleaders say they felt exploited on a 2013 Costa Rica trip.
Cheerleaders say Redskins went too far REDSKINS In a damaging report released Wednesday by The New York Times, cheerleaders for the Washington Redskins say they were exploited during a 2013 photo shoot in Costa Rica. The Times reports that Redskins officials collected passports upon arrival at the adultsonly Occidental Grand Papagayo resort on Culebra Bay. The report also states that during the calendar photo shoot some of the cheerleaders were required to be topless — even though the photos would not show nudity — or wear nothing but body paint. Although the shoot was secluded, The Times reports, the Redskins invited spectators — a group of sponsors and FedEx Field suite holders who were all men — for an up-close viewing. The Redskins defended their program and said cheerleaders are “contractually protected to ensure a safe and constructive environment.” The Times also reported that after a 14-hour day that included posing and dance practice, nine of the squad’s 36 cheerleaders were told by the director that they would be personal escorts to some of the sponsors at a nightclub. “We weren’t asked, we were told,” one of the cheerleaders told The Times. The encounter did not involve sex, one of the sources told The Times, but the women felt it amounted to “pimping us out.” SEAN GOSSARD (EXPRESS)

Cobb is out, Flood is in as White House lawyer
‘SCOUTS BSA’
As girls arrive, Boy Scouts changes name
POLITICS White House lawyer Ty Cobb, who served as the administration’s point person in dealing with special counsel Robert Mueller, is stepping down and will be replaced by veteran white-collar defense attorney Emmet Flood, senior administration officials said Wednesday. Flood, a partner at Williams & Connolly, was interviewed by President Trump in March. Flood represented President Bill Clinton during House proceedings to impeach him. Cobb’s departure comes as Trump’s attorneys face increasing pressure to determine if the president should agree to sit down for an interview with Mueller. The special counsel is investigating whether Trump obstructed justice and sought to thwart a criminal probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller has raised the possibility of subpoenaing Trump if he declines to sit down for a voluntary interview. Ex-New York Mayor Rudy W. Giuliani, now serving as Trump’s lead personal attorney dealing with the special counsel, said the president did not fire Cobb. “It was just time for him to go, but he’s still going to be available to us,” Giuliani said. He added

Legal shake-up comes as Mueller ramps up pressure on Trump
The White House said lawyer Ty Cobb, left, will retire by June. Emmet Flood, right, is likely to take a more adversarial approach with Robert Mueller.
that Jay Sekulow, another member of Trump’s legal team, “had the most to do with” the change. “Jay felt that he needed someone that was more aggressive,” Giuliani said. “That’s not a criticism of Ty, but it’s just about how we’re going to do this.” In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Cobb, 68, was retiring: “For several weeks Ty Cobb has been discussing his retirement and last week he let Chief of Staff [John] Kelly know he would retire at the end of this month.” Flood appears willing to take a more adversarial approach to the special counsel than Cobb, who advised Trump that cooperating with the probe would help end it. Flood “feels strongly that this
whole investigation is essentially an attempt to undermine an election,” said a person familiar with his views. Another person said Flood’s selection came because the probe had reached a pivotal moment. Cobb had led the White House’s efforts to produce documents for Mueller. Now, the White House is anticipating a showdown over a presidential interview. “You had the discovery phase, and now you’re entering the litigation phase,” said the person. “Who do you want on your side if Mueller decides to subpoena the president? You want to have your wartime consigliere. Emmet is a quintessential wartime consigliere.” ROBERT COSTA, JOSH DAWSEY,
For 108 years, the Boy Scouts of America’s flagship program has been known simply as the Boy Scouts. With girls soon entering the ranks, the group says that iconic name will change. The organization on Wednesday announced a new name for its Boy Scouts program for 11- to 17-year-olds: Scouts BSA. The change will take effect in February. The parent organization will remain the Boy Scouts of America, and the Cub Scouts — its program for younger children — will keep its title as well. The organization already has started admitting girls into the Cub Scouts, and Scouts BSA begins accepting girls next year. (AP)

This frog holds in its pee to stay alive
In Alaska, wood frogs don’t urinate all winter — eight months. They abstain to survive. Recycling urea from urine into nitrogen keeps them alive as they hibernate and freeze, inside and out. The process doesn’t warm them up. Instead, urea protects cells and tissue even as the frog’s heart, brain and bloodstream stop. They can do it because microbes in their guts recycle the urea, according to a study in Tuesday’s journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Doctor claims ‘raid’ to obtain Trump’s records POLITICS The White House said Tuesday that President Trump’s former bodyguard did nothing out of the ordinary when he took possession of the president’s medical records last year, despite a claim by Trump’s former doctor that the episode felt like a “raid.” Harold Bornstein, Trump’s personal doctor, told NBC News that Keith Schiller, the president’s longtime bodyguard and former director of Oval Office operations, showed up at his office in February 2017 to collect the records. The incident came two days after the doctor told The New York Times that Trump takes Propecia, a drug for enlarged prostates that is often prescribed for male hair growth. Bornstein said he wasn’t given a form authorizing him to release Trump’s records, as required by law, but that the originals and copies of Trump’s charts were taken. Patients have a right to a copy of their records but the original physical record belongs to the doctor, said Dr. Matthew Wynia, director of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado. Bornstein also told CNN on Tuesday that he did not write a now-infamous 2015 glowing review of the president’s health, a typo-pocked assessment that brought the doctor scrutiny. “He dictated that whole letter,” Bornstein said. “I didn’t write that letter.” (AP/TWP)

Former admiral and Navy pilot Tim Heely thought his breathlessness was just pneumonia—until doctors diagnosed a silent heart attack and a failing heart. To survive, he needed the most advanced cardiovascular options available—just what the experts at MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center offer. Tim urgently needed a cardiac catheterization and stent to open a blocked artery. Next, his heart needed the support of an LVAD, an external pump pioneered at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. The device allowed him to return home, until a heart became available for transplant.

IMMIGRATION The caravan of Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States captured the world’s attention as scores of migrants traveled through Mexico on a journey to escape their violent homelands. Now that the group has arrived at the border, the next steps in the migrants’ journey will unfold mostly out of public view. The caravan first drew attention in the U.S. when President Trump promised that his administration would seek to turn the families away. The rest of the asylum-seeking process will happen slowly and secretively in immigration courts. Dan Kowalski, editor of Bender’s Immigration Bulletin, said the public will “probably see very little [of the caravan cases] unless the applicant is represented and the attorney makes an effort to bring the client into the limelight.” Twenty-eight caravan members were accepted for processing Monday and Tuesday by U.S. border inspectors at San Diego’s San Ysidro crossing, an official with U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. The crossing, the nation’s busiest, processed about 50 asylum-seekers a day from October through February, suggesting the wait will be short. Under U.S. asylum practices, people spend up to three days at the border inspection facility before being transferred to a long-term detention center. Asylum officers interview them for an initial screening, usually within a week or so, to determine if their cases should advance to immigration court, which can

take several years. The courts often conduct business behind closed doors. Files are not public, and, unlike criminal or civil courts, access for journalists and others is limited. The caravan’s numbers, while tiny compared to previous surges of Central Americans to South Texas and Haitians to San Diego, will be a test of Trump’s tough words. Administration officials have railed against what they call legal loopholes and “catchand-release” policies that allow people seeking asylum to be freed while their cases are adjudicated, but any significant changes must be addressed by Congress or in the courts. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has pledged to send more immigration judges to the border if needed, and threatened criminal prosecution. On Monday, the Justice Department said it filed illegalentry charges against 11 people
What are their chances? Nearly 80 percent of asylum-seekers passed initial screenings at the U.S.-Mexico border from October through December, but few are likely to win asylum, which requires the petitioner to show well-founded fear of persecution on grounds of race, religion, nationality, political beliefs or membership in a social group. The denial rate for Salvadorans seeking asylum was 79 percent from 2012 to 2017, according to an analysis from Syracuse University. Hondurans were close behind with a 78 percent denial rate, followed Guatemalans at 75 percent. (AP)

asylum-seekers in Tijuana warned that they could be separated from family and spend many months in detention, a shift from the Obama administration. Separating asylum-seeking families has become more common, as has detaining them while their cases wind through the courts, said Leon Rodriguez, director from 2014 to 2017 of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, which oversees asylum petitions. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has limited beds in family detention centers and may also choose to release adults and their children while their cases wind through the system, often with orders that some of them wear ankle monitors. Children traveling alone are placed with family, other sponsors or in group homes overseen by the Health and Human Services Department. ELLIOT SPAGAT (AP)
IOWA
Lawmakers approve ‘heartbeat’ abortion ban Republican legislators sent Iowa’s governor a bill early Wednesday that would ban most abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy. The so-called heartbeat bill, which now awaits the signature of anti-abortion Gov. Kim Reynolds, R, would ban the medical procedure at a point before some women even know they are pregnant. The state is likely to face a legal challenge over the bill’s constitutionality. (AP) NATIONAL SECURITY
Guantanamo prisoner sent to Saudi Arabia The Pentagon said Wednesday that a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center was sent to his native Saudi Arabia to serve the rest of his sentence. Ahmed al-Darbi is the first prisoner to leave the U.S. base in Cuba since President Trump took office. He returns to Saudi Arabia as part of plea deal; the U.S. agreed to send him to a Saudi rehabilitation program for what prosecutors say was “invaluable” testimony against other Guantanamo prisoners.

ETA ends 60-year fight for Basque homeland SPAIN The Basque separatist group ETA said it has dismantled its organizational structure after a six-decade independence campaign that killed hundreds in Spain, taking the final step in disbanding after disarming last year and bringing an end to one of Europe’s bloodiest nationalist conflicts in recent times. The Spanish government vowed Wednesday not to abandon its investigation of crimes from the group’s violent past, saying security forces would “continue to pursue the terrorists,
wherever they may be.” Spanish Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido also stuck with the government’s hard line. ETA, whose initials stand for “Euskadi ta Askatasuna” or “Basque Homeland and Freedom” in the Basque language, killed more than 850 people during its violent campaign to create an independent state in northern Spain and southern France, most of them during the tumultuous 1980s, when Spain was transitioning from dictatorship to democracy.

Carrot-loving kangaroos attack tourists A tourist attraction in Australia is increasing its warnings about feeding the kangaroos on its grounds after a string of attacks on visitors by the marsupials, the BBC reported Wednesday. The hospital in Morisset, New South Wales, gets thousands of weekly visitors for the wild kangaroos on its grounds, but tourists have been kicked and scratched by the animals, which are particularly fond of the carrots visitors often bring. Local MP Greg Piper says it can be OK to pet a kangaroo, but people should never feed them. He advises staying away from male kangaroos, which can disembowel a person with their hind legs. (EXPRESS)
regional institutions and obtained by The Associated Press, ETA said it had “completely dissolved all its structures,” and acknowledged its responsibility in failing to solve the Basque “political conflict.” ETA declared a “definitive end” in 2011 to its armed campaign. It took six more years for the group to give up most of its arsenal and another year for it to announce that its remaining members — numbering fewer than 50, according to officials — would be disbanding this week.

Trump-aligned U.K. data firm is closing down TECHNOLOGY Cambridge Analytica, the Trump-affiliated data firm at the center of Facebook’s worst privacy scandal in history, said Wednesday it is declaring bankruptcy and shutting down. The London firm blamed “unfairly negative media coverage” and said it has been “vilified” for actions it says are both legal and widely accepted as part of online advertising. Cambridge Analytica said it has filed papers to begin insolvency proceedings in the U.K. and will seek bankruptcy protection in a federal court in New York. “The siege of media coverage has driven away virtually all of the company’s customers and suppliers,” Cambridge Analytica said in a statement. “As a result, it has been determined that it is no longer viable to continue operating the business.” Facebook said it will keep looking into data misuse by Cambridge Analytica even though the firm is closing down. Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy, a digital advocacy group in Washington, said criticism of Facebook’s privacy practices won’t go away just because Cambridge Analytica has. “Rather than rejoicing that a bad actor has met its just reward, we should recognize that many more Cambridge Analytica-like companies are operating in the conjoined commercial and political marketplace,” Chester said.

Philly agrees to pay $1 to each and fund $200K youth program PHILADELPHIA Two African-American men arrested at a Starbucks in Philadelphia last month reached a settlement with the city Wednesday and secured its commitment to a pilot program for young entrepreneurs. Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson chose not to pursue a suit against the city, said Mike Dunn, a city spokesman. Instead, they agreed to a symbolic payment of $1 each and asked the city to provide $200,000 for a grant program for high school students aspiring to become entrepreneurs. On April 12, the men arrived 10 minutes early for a business meeting at Starbucks and wound up leaving in handcuffs. An employee called police after a dispute over whether they had to order immediately. “This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city, pain that would’ve resurfaced over and over again in protracted litigation, which presents significant legal risks and high financial and emotional costs for everyone involved,� Mayor Jim Kenney said. He said Nelson and

Robinson approached the city as partners “to make something positive come of this.� The city has also invited Robinson, Nelson and their attorneys to submit thoughts and recommendations to the city solicitor on other ways to promote equality in public places. When asked whether the grant will focus on helping young entrepreneurs of color, Dunn said, “We are still working out those details.� Also Wednesday, Starbucks announced that it had reached an agreement with Nelson and Robinson that will include an undisclosed financial settlement “as well as continued listening and dialogue between the parties and specific action and opportunity.� RACHEL SIEGEL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HISTORY OF HITS
CAPITALS AT PENGUINS | GAME 4: 7 TONIGHT, NBCSN
from the Capitals’ center after he held Crosby without a point in Washington’s Game 2 win. Beagle, initially a free-agent invite to Washington’s summer rookie camp in 2007, is making his mark in what may be his final run with the Caps. He leads the NHL in postseason faceoff percentage at 67.3 and has been a key cog on a penalty-kill unit that recently killed 24 consecutive short-handed situations. Through Wednesday, Carlson was tied for the lead among defensemen in postseason scoring with 10 points in nine games. He’s also recorded a point on nine of the club’s NHL-best 11 powerplay goals in the playoffs. As for Holtby, it’s starting to seem like eons ago that he began the postseason as Philipp Grubauer’s backup. Since he returned as a starter in Game 3 against Columbus, Holtby is 6-1 with a 2.09 goals-against average and .927 save percentage.
Capitals forward Tom Wilson was slated for a hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety on Wednesday after a hit to the head — or was it the shoulder? — of Zach Aston-Reese in Tuesday’s Game 3 left the Pittsburgh forward with a concussion and a broken jaw. The hearing left Wilson vulnerable to a suspension for Game 4 tonight. No ruling was made by Express’ deadline. Wilson, who is listed at 6 feet 4 and 218 pounds, easily leads the NHL in regular-season penalty minutes (806) since he entered the league in 2013. The Washington Post identified 11 hits that drew scrutiny of Wilson, including three this postseason. He’s designated by the NHL as a repeat offender after being suspended twice for illegal checks this preseason.

Focusing on their core
Caps’ longest-tenured players take the wheel to snatch momentum from Penguins NHL PLAYOFFS Tied 1-1 in a second-round series with Pittsburgh, Washington would have taken a win any way it could get it Tuesday in Pittsburgh. But Alex Ovechkin delivered with style. The captain often criticized for playoff failures conjured a thrilling, game-winning goal. When his first shot bounced off the post, he swatted the puck from mid-air with 1:07 left to give Washington a 2-1 series lead. Naturally, longtime running mate Nicklas Backstrom had the assist. No two active players have appeared in more postseason games without reaching the conference finals than Ovechkin (106) and Backstrom (105). They have each played 23 postseason games against Pittsburgh since 2009. The Penguins have knocked them out three times — 2009, 2016 and 2017. This year, raw emotions have been building between the clubs. Two injury-inducing hits by Tom
Wilson poured gas on the fire. According to coach Barry Trotz, familiarity breeds contempt. “These are elite athletes, they’re very competitive and they don’t want to give an inch,” Trotz said. “When you’re going 20, 30, 40 times against the same opponent, it becomes unfriendly and very competitive.” As much as the Capitals claim to take things one game at a time, there has to be a sense that at some point their playoff window will shut, that the opportunities will expire. That urgency is finally turning into positive results. Ovechkin is in his 13th season; Backstrom is in his 11th. Throw in Jay Beagle and John Carlson — both set to become free agents — plus goaltender Braden Holtby, and the Caps’ five longest-tenured players have all come up big this postseason. Ovechkin, 32, has scored in all three games against Pittsburgh and his eight playoff goals are already his second most in his

10 postseason trips. This may be his best chance to shed his label as one of the NHL’s best players to never win the Stanley Cup. Backstrom has made huge offensive contributions — an OT-winner in Game 5 against Columbus and three assists in Tuesday’s 4-3 win — and has been tremendous defensively.

Veteran safety Eric Reid is unsigned nearly two months into free agency.
Reid alleges collusion in grievance NFL Veteran safety Eric Reid has filed a grievance against the NFL, the players union said Wednesday. Reid is charging owners with colluding to keep him unemployed while other free agents are finding work this offseason. He has said that his decision to protest during the national anthem is the reason teams are steering clear of him. Reid, 26, made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with the 49ers in 2013. He has been among the most prominent players to kneel during the anthem as a form of protest against racial injustice and police brutality. Reid continued to take a knee even after quarterback Colin Kaepernick, his former teammate in San Francisco, failed to find work last season. Though Reid has expressed a willingness to stand during the anthem this season, he remains unsigned nearly two months into free agency. “Our union supports Eric and we are considering other legal options to pursue,” an NFL Players Association spokesman said. Reid becomes the second NFL player to file a grievance alleging collusion in response to the anthem protests. Kaepernick’s complaint is in the discovery phase, and he has already deposed several league owners and frontoffice officials, including NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Injured Nats inching closer to comebacks Nobody on the Nationals has been more affected by the absence of Adam Eaton, Anthony Rendon and Daniel Murphy than Bryce Harper. Without three of the team’s best bats, there are fewer options to protect him. Lineups have been filled with projected bench players and minor leaguers. “Once we get our lineup back, we can get out there and do some damage,” Harper said Tuesday before a 12-4 win over Pittsburgh. The Nationals hope that will come soon. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

3B Anthony Rendon Bruised left big toe
He hasn’t played since fouling a pitch off his left big toe April 13, and he was placed on the DL on April 22. Rendon has gone through intense workouts this week to test the toe and rebounded well, manager Dave Martinez said, signaling that the infielder could go on a rehab assignment soon. Class A Potomac is home this week, which makes that a likely destination should he be cleared soon. “Rendon looks like he’s pretty good,” Martinez said.

Left ankle bone bruise
Murphy appeared in the clubhouse Monday after spending a couple of weeks playing in extended spring training games in West Palm Beach, Fla. On Tuesday, he took batting practice, fielded at second base and ran the bases. His return isn’t as imminent as Rendon’s, but there’s been progress. When asked about Murphy, Martinez disclosed that Murphy’s rehab was always going to take at least six months. The six-month anniversary was April 20.
Eaton’s progress is tough to gauge. He’s in a walking boot, according to people with knowledge of the situation. After missing nearly all of last year with an ACL tear, he batted .345 in eight games. He hurt his ankle April 5 and was placed on the disabled list April 11, retroactive to April 9. For now, the Nats are limiting Eaton’s activities because his pain still comes and goes. “We want to get this bruise totally out of there before he starts anything else,” Martinez said.

A scaled-down version of the hit installation will open this summer ETC ... “The Beach,” the ultrapopular ball pit that turned the National Building Museum into an attraction for kids of all ages, is coming back this summer, albeit in a smaller and slightly different form. The museum’s annual Summer Block Party installation — which has brought a maze,
enormous icebergs and towering hive structures to the Great Hall in recent years — will be “Fun House,” an exhibition looking back at 10 years of art created by the New York-based design studio Snarkitecture. “Fun House” features a fullsize house in the Great Hall, with rooms referencing previous Snarkitecture installations, such as the ice cave-like “Dig.” A kidney-shaped pool behind the house, filled with “hundreds of thousands of recyclable plastic balls,” evokes “The Beach.”

‘The Beach’ balls are bouncing back
Back in the summer of 2015, “The Beach” at the National Building Museum was THE place to lose yourself — and your keys and your phone.
In the District, Snarkitecture is best known for “The Beach,” which included nearly a million plastic balls and was created for the National Building Museum in 2015. D.C. hipsters treated it
like a cool, modernist Chuck E. Cheese’s — one that swallowed hundreds of phones, wallets and even an engagement ring. As in previous years, the exhibit opens July 4 and includes
late-night events for adults every Wednesday from July 11 through Aug. 29. It will also offer Sunday-morning yoga classes in July and August. Timed tickets, which include one hour in “Fun House” and general admission to the museum, cost between $10 and $16, and go on sale June 20. Outside of “Fun House,” the museum also announced that Hill Country Barbecue Market, which served barbecue, beer and margaritas on the museum’s west lawn in recent years, will return on May 16. It will be open Wednesdays through Sundays until mid-September. FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

While restaurants and hotels around D.C. are hosting parties and teas in honor of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 19 nuptials, few are going as far as Shaw’s Pop Up Bar, which is taking on a royal wedding theme (1839 Seventh St. NW; Fri. through May 20, opens at 5 p.m. daily). Expect cocktails decorated with edible glitter, a gilded “throne room” for selfies, and a raffle for a replica of the royal wedding cake, baked by a chef at the British Embassy. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Kelly Towles ARTIST
In his 20 years in D.C., Kelly Towles has certainly made his mark on the city, creating outdoor murals and sculptures as well as art for restaurants in his signature dreamy, angular pop-art style. Now he’s helping other artists make their mark on the District’s walls with the third annual D.C. edition of the Pow! Wow! festival. Towles has invited 20 artists from D.C. and around the world to each paint a mural on a blank wall in NoMa. “The artists only have three rules: no sex, no violence, no politics,” says Towles, 41. The 10-day festival kicks off at noon Saturday with a party at Wunder Garten (1101 First St. NE) and features a handful of other events, including a dance party, an auction and artist-guided walking tours. Maybe after the festival, Towles will have time for this dream day spent with his wife, Virginia Arrisueno, and 7-year-old son, Atticus. First thing I’d do is go for a 3-, 4-mile run, maybe down to the National Mall looking like it does during cherry blossom season. I’m building up my appetite — on this day, I’d have a bottomless stomach.

For breakfast I’d go to Le Diplomate. It would probably be the eggs Benedict — I guess
I’m a classic kinda guy. For us, [Le Diplomate] is a specialoccasion place. Snack is Sushi Taro — probably right after breakfast. These places are going to be open when I want them to be open! Even when we bring our son out to eat, we have no problem sitting at the bar. But
I want to take the family either to the Hirshhorn Museum or the National Portrait Gallery to check out some shows. I love local museums and local galleries, and jumping to all these [Smithsonian] places in such close proximity [to one another] is so easy to do. Next, dinner: Izakaya Seki. It’s just so good. They have a lot of staples on there, like their warm dashi — it’s f---ing phenomenal. We’ll get the shishito peppers, the beets, the dashi, probably the short ribs and some tuna. It’s OK to be a little bit loud there — that’s what izakayas are. Post-dinner we’re gonna take a walk to The Line hotel. I’m going for two reasons: One is to get a drink at the bar at Brothers and Sisters. Two, go down to Spoken English for a late-night snack. I’ve been waiting to go to Spoken English to see what [chefs] James [Wozniuk] and Erik [Bruner-Yang] have come up with. I’ve been to Taipei with James and Erik before — it was an amazing trip. Each one of these restaurants [on this day] means something to me personally. I want to spoil myself, but also be around my friends that are making all this amazing stuff happen in D.C.

The thrills of getting hooked on a merman
Photo by Karli Cadel
a mermaid — what if it was a merman? What was it like to transition from writing essays and poetry to writing a novel? I had dictated [2016 personal essay collection] “So Sad Today,” so I was like, I’ll dictate three paragraphs a day and see what happens. Nine months later, I had a first draft. I loved it, but it was also scary because I had never written something so long without anyone seeing it. With poetry, I had gotten really good at sort of assessing — I could tell if something was done or if it was “good” or good for me. But with this, I literally had no idea, so that was weird. What’s it like to write merman sex scenes? Once I figured out his anatomy and how that worked, the rest was easy. I was like, OK, my merman is going to have a penis. Not all mermen do — hashtag: not all
mermen — but I just knew he did. Merman fundamentalists, some are gonna be miffed, but it’s my merman so I built him to my liking. What’s next for you? And seven years in, is @sosadtoday here for the long haul? I’ve been writing two more novels. I’m really fast because I don’t have anything left to use to escape myself — I have writing, Nicorette gum, Twitter and these little cheesecakes and that’s like it. [The account] has been going on embarrassingly long. At this point, it’s like any addiction. I use it to relieve me of my depression for like 30 seconds until I need the next thing. It’s really nice in life, when you have a feeling, to not have to cope with it and instead just tweet it out. I love not coping. I’m like, “Oh, I’m not going to feel this, I’m just going to tweet about it.” ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS)

Where’d the inspiration for this book come from? I really wanted to explore love as addiction, and on a thematic level it’s about: Can you fill the existential hole with love? Or with fantasy? I was on the beach in Venice reading “The Professor and the Siren” by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, and it hit me for the first time just how much the siren figure really embodies that intoxication and narcotic limerence of a love that can never be. But I was like, why is it always
Author Melissa Broder wouldn’t kick the kraken out of bed.
LORD BYRON
BOOKS Melissa Broder was never much of a mermaid fan. “If you would ask me to choose a mythological creature, it would be the Pegasus all the way,” the poet and essayist says, then quickly clarifies: “I mean, I wouldn’t want to have sex with Pegasus — it would be platonic. If I was going to have a romantic relationship, it would be either the hound of hell or the kraken, that giant squid.” Still, it’s a merman that shines as the romantic hero in Broder’s first novel, “The Pisces,” which she’ll discuss at Politics and Prose on Friday. In the story, grad student Lucy is dumped in gloriously dramatic fashion, then reluctantly agrees to spend the summer in her sister’s glass cube of a house in California’s Venice Beach. There, she baby-sits a diabetic foxhound, drags herself to a love addicts’ support group and, of course, falls in obsessive love with a merman. The just-released book is weird, LOL-funny and distinctly Broder. She’s also the face behind @sosadtoday, the Twitter account that captures existential terror with tweets like “i’m not that good at being a person” and “i want to be banned from myself.” In “The Pisces,” there’s much of the same angst and raw honesty. But also lots of merman sex.

popular music, modern dance, ballet and flamenco. (See sidebars for highlights.) Film screenings and visual art installations round out the program. “Cuba punches way above its weight because the government has invested in arts and culture for all of these years, and also because they are somewhat isolated on an island, and that gives the arts and sounds a place to incubate and focus,” Adams says. Adams and her colleagues are giving the Kennedy Center additional Cuban flair by parking classic 1950s cars around the building, vehicles reminiscent of the ones that drive along Havana’s Malecon. The halls of the center will feature work by Cuban artists and domino tables, science educators will be on hand to talk about Cuban flora and fauna, and the cafes and bars will serve up Cuban food and drinks, Adams says. For the most immersive experience, would-be tourists should check out the “Cubano Club,” a hip spot for sipping mojitos and taking in live music. The club will occupy the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Gallery, which is being temporarily redecorated. Cuban visual artist Roberto Diago has created a mosaic facade for the club, and Kennedy Center staff have added a neon sign and photos of famous Cuban musicians. Other visual art installations around the venue include a piece by Cuban artist Manuel Mendive called “Fragmento de Paisaje” that fills the Hall of States with
KENNEDY CENTER
FESTIVALS Ever since President Trump tightened travel restrictions to Cuba last year, many Americans who would like to see the island nation’s verdant landscapes and vibrant arts scene have been waiting for more favorable political winds. In the meantime, you can dust off your guayabera shirts and salsa-dancing shoes, because the Kennedy Center is offering a little piece of Cuba in the capital. The two-week festival Artes de Cuba: From the Island to the World, which kicks off Tuesday, is bringing 242 artists from Cuba to D.C., where they will join forces with 170 Cuban-Americans to showcase the country’s rich culture of performing and visual arts. “This will be the first time this many Cuban artists have gathered for a festival in America,” festival curator Alicia Adams says. “It’s unprecedented.” Getting visas for the Cubans was tough because, in addition to reinstating some travel restrictions, the Trump administration has severely reduced staffing at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Adams says. As a result, the Kennedy Center had to fly the Cuban artists to Mexico, where the U.S. Embassy could process visas more quickly. “We were working on the visas until the very last minute, and we did it!” Adams says. “We got them all.” At the heart of the festival are more than 50 performances, including jazz, classical music,

Virtuosic drummer Yissy Garcia leads a genre-defying quintet that also includes a bassist, a trumpet player, a pianist and a record-scratching DJ. Garcia calls the music they create “high-speed Cuban jazz,” but fans of hip-hop, funk and Afro-Cuban dance music will also find a lot to like.

One of the best places to do this will be in the Kennedy Center’s atrium on Thursday and Friday nights, from 9:30 p.m. to midnight, when visiting artists will be mingling and giving impromptu performances. “I hope [visitors] will be enlightened by the people t h at t hey w i l l meet from Cuba, a nd experience the beauty and humanity that exists on that island,” she says.

ETC ... Before she founded Afrotease, a Richmond-based burlesque show that features people of color, Venessa Chevelle felt uncomfortable performing in certain situations. “When I’m in D.C. I know I n be a little more free,” says Chevelle, who started doing burlesque in 2014. “But when I’m performing somewhere like Fredericksburg, Va., or somewhere that makes me a little nervous as a fat black woman to take my clothes off, I think about what I’m putting on the stage and how people will perceive me and my body.” After a producer of the Richmond Burlesque Revue decided to take a break from burlesque in 2016, Chevelle was offered the show’s regular time slot at Gallery5 in Richmond. Seizing the opportunity, Chevelle knew her show had to involve performers of color who could fully be themselves onstage. “It has become an event, not just a show,” the Richmond native says. “The crowd isn’t just one race or peppered with different people — the crowds exude love, and that’s what were really about.” Chevelle makes a point of calling Afrotease a showcase, because it highlights so much diverse talent. (While the rotating
cast is entirely of color, gender is non-specific.) She says she’s been overwhelmed by the response, especially on days when she has “imposter syndrome” about the entire production. “People are telling me how much — not just in the cast but in the audience — how much this show means to them,” Chevelle says. “It’s overwhelming [when] people come to me and say they needed this. … I’ve had performers tell me they were thinking of quitting [burlesque] until they did that show.” On Friday, Chevelle is bringing the showcase outside of Richmond for this first time, to the Black Cat in D.C. The event happens to fall on Star Wars Day — based on fans’ pun “may the fourth be with you” — and Chevelle says she’s asking the performers to embrace their geeky side. “Each performer is doing something catered to their style — classic, glam or more avantgarde — but also bringing something a little bit more nerdy,” she says. “You can see the dynamics in each performer [as they] take on these different roles.” ISA JONES (FOR EXPRESS)

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER
Of all the memorials in D.C., the U.S. Navy Memorial is perhaps the most understated. Many people walk across the memorial’s granite world map or sit on the surrounding fountains thinking it’s just a large pedestrian plaza on Pennsylvania Avenue. The memorial’s companion museum, the Naval Heritage Center, is even less conspicuous, occupying a small storefront just to the north. I’d passed by many times without noticing it, and — as I was soon to discover — that was probably for the best. After finding the doorway to the museum, I descended a spiral staircase into a lowceilinged room, quiet except for heart-pumping “Mission: Impossible”-style music — a soundtrack made somewhat less thrilling by the fact that it was being broadcast by a single tinny speaker. This 40-second clip looped intermittently the entire time I was down there, and it’s been looping intermittently in my mind ever since. The soundtrack turned out to be one of the museum’s more memorable features. That’s because the exhibits consist mostly of freestanding panels covered with impenetrable military jargon. Here’s
some of the riveting text I forced myself to read: “… the office of the Senior Enlisted Advisor (SEA) of the Navy was established to provide a direct communication link between enlisted personnel and the Bureau of Naval Personnel. On that day, Master Chief Delbert D. Black was appointed SEA to advise the Chief of Naval Personnel …” This is the introduction to an exhibit called “The Year of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.” As it turns out, I know a little about master chiefs, because my husband was in the Navy and his best stories feature these salty characters. The Navy’s highest-ranking enlisted officials, master chiefs are known for being no-nonsense, resourceful and straightforward. Unfortunately, the exhibit about master chiefs was none of these things. In addition to the panels of dense text, the master chief exhibit has some objects on display, including a navigation wheel, a leather chapbook and a 1904 photo of a Navy electrician. The accompanying text leaves it largely up to the viewer to infer what these objects have to do with master chiefs or, indeed, why they are on display at all. The most compelling part of the exhibit turned out to be its inadvertent display of historic

audiovisual technology, which ranged from a slide projection to several generations of touch screens. The projected image details subtle developments in master chief uniforms and insignia from 1913 to 1922. With the touch screens, you can scroll through pages and pages of military documents while watching unnarrated videos of modern-day sailors passing boxes to one another. Overall, the technology in the Naval Heritage Center was short of shipshape. Many of the touch screens lagged badly, and all four kiosks under a sign that said “Navy Log” were down during my visit. I was, however, able to glean that the Navy Log is a place where you can look up people who were once in the Navy. Strangely, this database is made up primarily of information entered by the service members themselves or their family members. Since it’s not checked against official military records, it seems
Pro tip: If you’re not fluent in military jargon, prepare to be baffled. like it wouldn’t be very useful to anyone besides maybe the museum’s fundraisers. Despite these shortcomings, the Naval Heritage Center attracts a steady stream of visitors. Some of the ones I observed attempted to skim the displays, but most beelined directly for the bathroom and then headed right back out. Given its clear popularity among toilet-seeking tourists, perhaps the Naval Heritage Center should reconsider its exhibits. I’m thinking something like “Commodes of the Commodores” would be pretty popular. Or, they could move some of the display text to the insides of restroom doors, and take advantage of that captive audience. To be fair, there were a few
cool things on display, including a scale model of the USS Constitution and an old-timey scuba suit. It’s also possible that I’m not the intended audience for this museum. Still, it’s hard to imagine an audience for a touch screen display that gives you the option to learn about VERTREP, CONREP, “SEABEES” and “FY19 Budget.” If you know what these things mean, you’ll be bored by their explanatory videos. If you don’t know what these things mean, you’ll also be bored by the videos. So, unless you find yourself in Penn Quarter in need of a head (dirty-minded readers, that’s what you call a ship’s bathroom), steer clear of the Naval Heritage Center. Your naval history needs can be met much better at several other area museums, including one in the actual Navy Yard. For more on D.C. life, follow Sadie on Twitter: @SadieDing

‘Disobedience’ Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams star in “Disobedience,” the latest from Chilean director Sebastian Lelio, who (rightfully) took home the best foreign language film Oscar in March for “A Fantastic Woman.” In Lelio’s first Englishlanguage film, which opens locally Friday, Weisz plays a woman who returns to the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community that banned her after she fell for a female childhood friend (McAdams). Back in town for her father’s funeral, she finds that not much has changed — including the attraction that got her kicked out in the first place.

An inside look at the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
STREAMING
Spencer cast in true-crime drama series
“RBG” ventures into the home and the heart of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
MYLES PETTENGILL
FILM The glasses. The pulled-back hair. And, most important, the collars. Every icon needs a signature look — even those, like Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had their iconography thrust upon them. “She didn’t seek out this attention,” says Betsy West, one of the directors of “RBG,” a new documentary about Ginsburg, probably the only Supreme Court justice in history whose face regularly appears on tote bags. “It grew up organically, and she has come to accept it and appreciate it and see it as an opportunity to spread her message about the law.” West and co-director Julie Cohen, both of whom had interviewed Ginsburg for previous films, wanted to provide a more personal look at her, and put her work into the context of the history of women’s struggle for equality. “People understand what happened out on the streets with people marching for their rights,” Cohen says. “But people don’t know the behind-the-scenes, quieter, in-the-courtroom story, or that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was part of the story. And, actually, the two go hand in hand. Her contribution was just as significant.” As a founder of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, Ginsburg argued six cases regarding gender discrimination before the court she would eventually join — and won five of them. “She argued these cases that changed the law for American

women. That is at the heart of our story, her work for gender equality,” West says. “She said, ‘We’re second-class citizens, and under the Constitution we shouldn’t be.’ And she set about changing that.” “RBG,” which opens Friday,
RBG fever spreads to TV A TV drama about the lives and careers of Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in the works. The project will draw on the book “Sisters in Law” by Linda Hirshman, which details the duo’s legal and social impact after O’Connor made history as the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, with Ginsburg the second. (AP)
offers glimpses of Ginsburg outside of the courtroom too, including more private moments like the justice hanging out with a granddaughter. It’s rare (and a little disconcerting) to see one of the nation’s top legal minds addressed as “Bubbe.” The movie also touches on Ginsburg’s 56-year marriage to Martin Ginsburg, who died in 2010. “We showed her just a very small excerpt of the documentary, just a little two-minute clip that included the home movies of her and Marty,” West says. “The way she watched that clip and the emotion on her face — I think we began to see how real that romance was.” While Ginsburg granted some intimacy to Cohen and West, the three did not end the filmmaking process as buddies. The two directors still refer to their subject as “Justice Ginsburg.” They can get her home movies, film her on vacation and watch her work out, but they can’t seem to bring themselves to call her “Ruth.”
Apple ordered 10 episodes of the drama series “Are You Sleeping” from producer Reese Witherspoon on Wednesday, with Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer in the lead role. Adapted from Kathleen Barber’s book of the same name, the series will explore the nation’s obsession with true-crime podcasts such as “Serial.” Nichelle D. Tramble, a former writer on “The Good Wife” and “Justified,” will serve as the showrunner for the series, which is Witherspoon’s third project at Apple. The “Big Little Lies” actress also will star alongside Jennifer Aniston in an untitled morning show drama and produce an untitled comedy series starring Kristen Wiig. (EXPRESS)

Hulu renews “The Handmaid’s Tale,” orders Mindy Kaling’s “Four Weddings and a Funeral” series
‘Serena’ shows vulnerability behind an icon TELEVISION The first episode of “Being Serena,” a five-part documentary series on HBO about Serena Williams, closes with the tennis great in a hospital bed, about to have a C-section. Just before the screen fades, a voice-over from Williams is heard: “I was terrified. And it was a whole new kind of fear. Tennis? I don’t think it ever felt so far away.” That is just one example of the images and words that show vulnerability the world is not accustomed to seeing from the owner of 23 Grand Slam singles championships, someone whose on-court game is built, at least in part, on intimidating power. “Being Serena,” which premiered Wednesday, offers viewers a chance to feel as if they are getting to know the athlete better, including footage from the delivery room when Williams gave birth to her daughter Sept. 1. The second episode closes with Williams heading to the practice court, seven weeks after becoming a mom, ready to get her comeback to the tour started. She won the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant and has not played in a major tournament since. Her next chance to take the Grand Slam stage could come at the French Open, which starts May 27. “I have more tennis to play,” Williams says in the second episode. “I have my life to live.” HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

“There’s literally NO REASON the ‘Lost in Space’ robot should have a butt that nice. This was intentional.”
NO COLLECTION TOO SMALL or LARGE WE BUY EVERYTHING!
@AURASTARSS, who was not the only person who had some feelings of attraction to the robot in Netflix’s sci-fi reboot “Lost in Space.” Many others had the same thought. “The ‘Lost in Space’ robot is kind of hot and he could protect me, I’m not ashamed anymore,” @stairwellspirit tweeted. And @AlmondRoboPanda tweeted: “Good morning to the Lost In Space Robot’s butt and no one else.” Netflix even put together a video of all of the “hot robot” takes and shared it with the line “Ya’ll need Jesus.”

“#IfSlaveryWasAChoice there would be no need for these chains.” @NOREK_MILLER, sharing a picture of the memorial for victims of lynching in Montgomery, Ala., with the hashtag #IfSlaveryWasAChoice. The hashtag emerged as a counterpoint to Kanye West, who told TMZ on Tuesday that slavery “sounds like a choice.” @danblackroyd tweeted: “ ‘12 YEARS A CHOICE’ just doesn’t have the same ring to it.”

“California gorls.” @ROBERTLAING_, sharing an excellent version of the “Gorls” meme that is popping up all over the internet. It’s inspired by Gru, the villain in “Despicable Me,” who pronounces “girls” as “gorls.” People have gotten creative replacing faces with Gru, like this reference to Katy Perry’s song “California Girls.” American Girl dolls, Gwen Stefani’s song “Hollaback Girl” and “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl” have all gotten the meme treatment.
“Macron just said he wanted to thank Malcolm Turnbull and his ‘delicious wife.’ You can take the man out of France but ...” @WORKMANALICE, joking after French President Emmanuel Macron committed a diplomatic faux pas — he accidentally called the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s wife “delicious.” The French word for delicious — delicieux — also translates as “delightful.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Close work with an ally gives you more than progress; it gives you peace of mind. You can accomplish something others thought you couldn’t. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s time for you to consider doing something you would never have considered even a day or two ago. Things are changing. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Assistance you receive today may come under suspicion by others as it gives you a boost that may seem, to some, against the rules. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may have to go from here to there many times today before you have gotten done everything on your list. You must increase travel efficiency.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Expecting a different outcome today is pointless if you’re not willing to try something different in the first place.
TODAY: And a little warmer we go. We’re off to an even milder morning start as partly to mostly sunny skies help temperatures quickly into the 70s to near 80, followed by afternoon highs soaring to the upper 80s to low 90s. This time the humidity, while far from oppressive, becomes more noticeable.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others may recognize your expertise in a given area, but that doesn’t mean that you’re going to have your way. You must be persuasive.

DECISION-MAKING
Baby Stormi: ‘Don’t bring me into this’
Pam enrolls in Spy 101 class Actress and model Pamela Anderson discussed her friendship with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday. “We talk about the Bible, we talk about what’s happening with my kids, what’s happening with his family,” Anderson said. “It’s not just about politics, even though I do take a lot of notes and it’s so overwhelming, the information he gives me.”
Kim Kardashian interviewed half sister Kylie Jenner for the latest issue of England’s ES Magazine, during which Jenner explained why she and rapper Travis Scott named their 3-month-old daughter Stormi. “I really don’t know how we thought of Storm,” Jenner said. “Her dad insisted it was him, but I feel like it was me. And that kind of just stuck with us. And then I didn’t really like just Storm — I didn’t feel like that was her name. So then it became Stormi. And it just stuck. I feel like there were a lot of other names that I might have even liked better to be honest, but I feel like Stormi picked her own name, like it was just her name.” (EXPRESS)

In a Tuesday appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” comedian and director Kevin Smith said smoking weed before he suffered a heart attack in February helped him survive the ordeal. Having asked if smoking a joint triggered the attack, Smith recalled his doctor responding: “No, in fact, quite the opposite — that weed saved your life. … They told you [that you] were going through stuff and you remained calm the whole time.” (EXPRESS)

Kanye had liposuction; reportedly off his meds Kanye West said in his interview with “TMZ Live” Tuesday that he underwent a liposuction procedure in 2016 because he didn’t want to look “fat,” and was prescribed opioids for pain. He was hospitalized later that year and doctors order him to take three pills a day. (West did not specify what kind of pills.) TMZ said Wednesday that West is no longer taking his meds. (EXPRESS)
