If eating spaghetti isn’t a religious experience, what is?
Police in Warwick, R.I., are asking people to be on the lookout for a goat that wandered off a landscaping job. The goat, which goes by the names Sammy and Frank, turned up missing during a head count Tuesday. He is owned by The Goatscaping Company, which offers the goats as an alternative to herbicides to manage vegetation. Police said the AWOL goat has one curly horn and is small, brown and generally “funny looking.” (AP)
No pub and inn in the United Kingdom has a higher elevation than the Tan Hill Inn. And now it’s going on sale for $1.2 million, The Guardian reported this week. The inn, built in the 1600s in the Yorkshire Dales, is 1,732 feet above sea level, giving it panoramic views. On the downside, it’s regularly cut off by heavy snow in winter. Landlady Louise Peace says the new owner should have stamina, eccentricity and love. (EXPRESS)
A German state court ruled Wednesday that authorities in Templin are entitled to prevent a group called the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — which criticizes religion as intolerant — from advertising its “noodle Masses” with a sign at the town entrance. It’s common in Germany for such signs to detail when churches hold services. But the court said the “Spaghetti” sect can’t claim the rights of a religious community. (AP)

THE DISTRICT President Trump reportedly told members of his New Jersey golf club that he spends so much time away from Washington because the White House is a “real dump.” The White House denied this occurred, although the assessment isn’t entirely wrong. The executive mansion has been through countless makeovers and technological upgrades in an effort to address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’s various technological shortcomings. Eventually, these high-tech additions — from running water to air conditioning — became such a hodgepodge that President Harry Truman ordered a “Rehab Addict”-style gut job. The White House retrofitting began almost as soon as the place was built 217 years ago. Take the plumbing system, for example. According to the White House Historical Association, John Quincy Adams was the first to bring pumped water to the White House in the late 1820s, but it was only to water his garden

The Chicago Tribune credits Millard Fillmore with installing the first flush toilets in 1853. But his successor, Franklin Pierce, built the first modern bathroom. The first gravity hot-air heating system in the White House coincided with the first death of a sitting president, in 1841. It’s
unclear whether William Henry Harrison’s 30-day presidency and demise from pneumonia spurred the decision to warm up the place. In 1877, when Rutherford B. Hayes was president, the first White House telephone arrived but didn’t get a spot in the president’s office. It was installed down the hall in the telegraph room, less than a year after Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone prototype. When electricity was installed

in the White House in 1891, thenPresident Benjamin Harrison was so afraid of being shocked that he refused to touch the circular switches controlling the current in each room. By the late 1940s, the White House was standing only “by force of habit,” the WHHA says. The whole structure creaked and popped under the weight of 140 years’ worth of additions. Wiring, plumbing and ventilation ducts from various eras wound chaotically through the crumbling building. In a 1946 letter to his wife, Truman wrote: “The damned place is haunted, sure as shootin.’ ” In 1949, Truman and the first family moved across the street to Blair House, and then everything but the exterior walls of the White House was completely demolished. A frenetic, threeyear reconstruction ensued — this time, with modern electric wiring, phone lines and central heating and air conditioning. Truman moved back in on March 27, 1952, ushering in one more modern convention: television. He invited TV reporters in for a tour, and more than 30 million people tuned in.

A setback for Gavin Grimm SOCIAL ISSUES Attorneys for transgender teenager Gavin Grimm, whose case was earlier put off by the Supreme Court, had hoped to have his challenge to the Gloucester County School Board heard by a federal appeals court before his graduation in June. Because he longer is a high school student, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit said Wednesday that a lower court must sort out whether Grimm still has enough of an affiliation to his alma mater to pursue the case. “Because all of the prior litigation was conducted while Grimm was a student, the parties have presented us with nothing more than unsupported assertions regarding Grimm’s continued connection to his high school and the applicability of the school board’s policy,” according to the order from Judge Paul Niemeyer, who was joined by Judges Allyson Duncan and Henry Floyd. “We remand this to the district court for the limited purpose of resolving ... whether this case has become moot.” The unanimous order from the
It is up to a lower court to decide if Gavin Grimm’s case is still relevant now that he has graduated.

His case had been scheduled for oral argument at the Richmondbased 4th Circuit in September. “Gavin’s life is going by while these procedural steps happen,” said Joshua Block, an ACLU attorney for Grimm, who is now 18. “It’s another detour on his way to having his day in court.”

Gavin Grimm’s case In 2014, Gavin Grimm wanted to start using the boys’ restroom at Gloucester High. The school board responded by designating one bathroom at the high school as gender-neutral — but the teenager said it made an already anguished transition worse. Grimm sued his district’s school board in 2015, alleging that the policy violated his civil rights. (TWP)
In March, the Supreme Court put off a ruling in Grimm’s case after the Trump administration revoked Obama-era guidelines directing all U.S. public schools to accommodate transgender students. The high court’s move sent Grimm’s case back to the 4th Circuit, which had sided with Grimm and deferred to the Obama administration guidelines on transgender rights released in May 2016. LGBT rights advocates had hailed the move, but it was criticized by many conservatives, who said the administration was overreaching and violating the privacy of children. Grimm’s lawyers told the 4th Circuit that the teenager’s “future attendance at alumni and school-community events” was enough of a connection to allow the court to continue to consider the case. But the school’s bathroom policy does not necessarily apply to alumni, the school board said in its court filing. The appeal to the 4th Circuit was limited to a preliminary injunction to stop the school board from enforcing its bathroom policy. Grimm’s claims of discrimination have been on hold in District Court pending the resolution of the injunction. ANN E. MARIMOW (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Planned Parenthood pledges $3M to help Democrat Northam win Va. governor’s race
Study: 47K jobs at risk with $15 minimum wage MONTGOMERY COUNTY Montgomery County would lose approximately 47,000 jobs by 2022 if it raises the minimum wage to $15 an hour, according to a study released by the county government Tuesday. County Executive Isiah Leggett, D, commissioned the study — which suggests the vast majority of jobs lost would be low-wage positions — when he vetoed an increase to the minimum wage in January. Proponents of raising the wage questioned the value of the study, conducted by the Philadelphia-based economic consulting group PFM, since it asked employers to predict what would happen. PFM found that increasing the minimum wage to $15 would result in an aggregate loss of $396.5 million of income in the county by 2022 as businesses laid off employees, cut remaining employee hours and benefits, and suspended plans to invest in new locations and hire additional workers. Respondents in the study expressed philosophical support for minimum-wage increases, but estimated they would have to reduce their lower-wage workforce by an average of 23 percent. Last week, county council member Marc Elrich introduced a new bill to bring the hourly minimum wage up from the current $11.50 to $15, with accommodations for small business. RACHEL CHASON (TWP)

Sessions plans an affirmative action attack EDUCATION Justice Department officials are planning a new project to investigate and sue universities over affirmative action admissions policies they determine discriminate against white applicants, according to a U.S. government official. The project, the latest under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will be based out of the department’s civil rights division, which is now looking for lawyers interested in working on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions,”
an official said. Officials said the project will not operate out of the civil rights division’s Educational Opportunities Section, where career Justice attorneys oversee cases on universities, but instead in the front office of the division. The project was first reported Tuesday night by The New York Times. Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores would not confirm the plans and would only say, “We don’t comment on personnel issues,” referring to the lawyers being sought. A spokeswoman for the Department of Education did not immediately respond to inquiries about whether the agency would play a role in the effort to challenge affirmative action on college campuses. Two people familiar with the internal discussions at the
Civil rights activists criticized the plan by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Justice Department.
Justice Department’s civil rights division said the move came after career staffers who specialize in education issues refused to work on the project out of concerns it was contrary to the office’s long-running approach to civil rights in education opportunities. As a result, political leadership within the department decided to

run the effort themselves, these people said. “Yet again, the Sessions Justice Department, led by the political leadership and marginalizing the career employees, is changing course on a key civil rights issue,” said Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division under former
President Barack Obama. Gupta, now president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, called the project “an affront to our values as a country and the very mission of the civil rights division.” Anurima Bhargava, an Obama Justice Department official, called the move a “scare tactic.” “The goal here is to drum up a bunch of fear and intimidate schools who are trying to provide a pipeline to leadership for all Americans,” she said. The Supreme Court has ruled that schools have a compelling interest in creating a diverse student body and may use race as one of multiple factors in admissions decisions. The court endorsed that view as recently as June 2016, ruling 4 to 3 that a race-conscious admissions policy at the University of Texas was constitutional. Critics say the court’s rulings have left an opening to challenge race-conscious policies. Cases are pending against Harvard and the University of North Carolina alleging that race-conscious admissions policies result in discrimination against Asian-Americans.

Sen. Jeff Flake takes Republicans to task over Trump Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona has a message for his party: Get a spine and stand up to President Trump. In a scolding book, “Conscience of a Conservative,” Flake argues that Republicans are letting Trump lead the country away from conservative principles and staying silent as “the government … has been made dysfunctional at the highest levels.” Here are some excerpts. (AP/TWP) Buying in to Trump
On ‘alternative facts’
‘The politics of anger’
A blind eye to Russia
A ‘volatile actor’
“Never has a party so quickly or easily abandoned its core principles as my party did in the course of the 2016 campaign,” writes Flake, who has never been known for hyperbole. “We lurched like a tranquilized elephant from a broad consensus on economic philosophy and free trade that had held for generations to an incoherent and often untrue mash of back-of-theenvelope populist slogans.”
“If we lose our sense of objective truth, we lose everything. … [D]emocracies depend on the acceptance of shared facts, facts such as: certified elections are valid, millions of votes were not illegally cast in the 2016 election, vaccinations don’t cause autism, and two Hawaiian newspapers announcing the birth of Barack Obama more than 50 years ago probably means [he] was born in Hawaii.”
“We have given in to the politics of anger — the belief that riling up the base can make up for failed attempts to broaden the electorate. These are the spasms of a dying party. Anger and resentment and blaming groups of people for our problems might work politically in the short term, but it’s a dangerous impulse … and we know from history that it’s an impulse that, once acted upon, never ends well.”
“Even as our own government was documenting a concerted attack against our democratic processes by an enemy foreign power, our own White House was rejecting the authority of its own intelligence agencies, disclaiming their findings as a Democratic ruse and a hoax. Conduct that would have had conservatives up in arms had it been exhibited by our political opponents now had us dumbstruck.”
Flake is profoundly worried about Trump’s temperament and does not believe there is any strategy behind his actions: “Influencing the news cycles seems to be the principal goal; achieving short-term tactical advantage, you bet. But ultimately, it’s all noise and no signal. … We have quite enough volatile actors to deal with internationally as it is without becoming one of them.”

Firm: Venezuela vote tainted
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro casts his vote Sunday in a controversial ballot measure.
The assembly will be granted vast powers to rewrite the nation’s constitution and override every branch of the government.
Opposition members boycotted the election, claiming the terms to select delegates were heavily rigged to favor the ruling party. President Nicolas Maduro has vowed to use the assembly to target his enemies and solidify Venezuela as a socialist state. The head of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council dismissed the tampering claims. Tibisay Lucena said allegations by the voting software firm amount to an “opinion” by a company without access to data determining the results. Lucena added that the council reserves the right to seek legal action against what she called an “irresponsible declaration.”

Body of German hiker missing since 1987 found in Swiss glacier
BUSINESS Older people are dying on the job at a higher rate than workers overall, even as the rate of workplace fatalities decreases, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal statistics. More baby boomers are rejecting the traditional retirement age of 65 and continuing to work. The U.S. government estimates that by 2024, older workers will account for 25 percent of the labor market. Gerontologists say normal changes such as gradually worsening vision and hearing impairment, reduced response time, balance issues and chronic problems such as arthritis can amplify the severity of an injury. In 2015, about 35 percent of the fatal workplace accidents involved a worker 55 or older — or 1,681 of the 4,836 fatalities reported nationally. The analysis showed that the workplace fatality rate for all workers — and for those 55 and older — decreased by 22 percent from 2006 to 2015. But the rate of fatal accidents among older workers during that period was 50 percent to 65 percent higher than for all workers, depending on the year. The National Center for Productive Aging and Work is pushing for changes in the workplace to make it safer for older workers. The year-old center is part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. MARIA INES ZAMUDIO AND MICHELLE MINKOFF (AP)

HEALTH Scientists have successfully edited the DNA of human embryos to erase an inheritable heart condition, cracking open the door to a controversial new era in medicine. This is the first time gene editing on human embryos has been conducted in the U.S. Researchers said in interviews this week that they consider their work very basic. The embryos were allowed to grow for only a few days, and there was never any intention to implant them to create a pregnancy. But they also acknowledged that they will continue to move forward with the science, with the ultimate goal of being able to “correct” diseasecausing genes in embryos that will develop into babies. News of the remarkable experiment began to circulate last week, but details became public Wednesday with a paper in the journal Nature. The experiment is the latest example of how the laboratory tool known as CRISPR (or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a type of “molecular scissors,” is pushing the boundaries of our ability to manipulate life. The work is particularly sensitive because it involves changes to

genes that could be passed on to future generations. The U.S. forbids the use of federal funds for embryo research. Shoukhrat Mitalipov, one of the authors of the paper and a researcher at Oregon Health & Science University, said he is conscious of the need for a larger ethical and legal discussion about genetic modification of humans but that his team’s work is justified because it involves “correcting” genes rather than changing them.

are overblown. “No matter what anybody says, this is not the dawn of the era of the designer baby,” she said, noting that characteristics such as intelligence are influenced by multiple genes and that researchers don’t understand all the components of how such characteristics are inherited. The research involved eggs from 12 healthy female donors and sperm from a male volunteer who carries the MYBPC3 gene, which causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscles that can cause no symptoms and remain undetected until it causes sudden death. It affects 1 in 500 people worldwide. ARIANA EUNJUNG CHA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bill slashes immigration Proposal supported by Trump would reduce number of green cards per year by half Trump signs ‘flawed’ bill to sanction Russia
EVAN VUCCI (AP)
POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday endorsed a new bill in the Senate aimed at slashing legal immigration levels over a decade, a goal Trump endorsed on the campaign trail that would represent a profound change to U.S. immigration policies that have been in place for a half-century. Trump appeared with GOP Sens. Tom Cotton, Ark., and David Perdue, Ga., at the White House to unveil a modified version of a bill the senators first introduced in April to cut immigration by half from the current level of more than 1 million foreigners each year who receive green cards granting them permanent legal residence in the U.S. The president said that if approved, the measure would represent “the most significant reform to the immigration system in half a century. It is a historic and very vital proposal.” The legislation would mark a major shift in U.S. immigration laws, which over the past half-century have permitted a growing number of immigrants to come to the country to work or join relatives already here legally. The new proposal, titled the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act, calls for drastic cuts to family-based immigration programs that allow siblings and grown children of U.S. citizens and legal residents to apply for green cards.

and spouses would still be able to apply.) A point system based on factors such as English ability, education levels and job skills would be created to rank applicants for the 140,000 employment-based green cards distributed annually. The senators also propose to cap refugee levels at 50,000 per year and to end a visa diversity lottery that has awarded 50,000 green cards a year, mostly to areas of the world that traditionally do not have as many immigrants to the U.S., including Africa.

When asked by CNN’s Jim Acosta whether the policy is “trying to change what it means to be an immigrant” by requiring immigrants to speak English, citing the “New Colossus” inscription on the Statue of Liberty, Miller responded, “the poem that you’re referring to was added later, is not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty.” The two continued to spar over the topic. At one point, Miller accused Acosta of having a “cosmopolitan bias.” (TWP)
symbol we’re not committed to working-class Americans and we need to change that.” Perdue and Cotton said their proposal is modeled after “meritbased” immigration programs in Canada and Australia that also use point systems, but those countries admit more than twice as many immigrants to their countries as the U.S. The bill faces dim prospects in the Senate, where Republicans hold a narrow majority. It is expected to face opposition from Democrats, immigrant rights groups and some moderate Republicans in states with large immigrant populations. DAVID NAKAMURA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
ABOUT THAT ‘GREATEST SPEECH’ …
Boy Scouts deny praising Trump
The Boy Scouts denied Wednesday that the head of the group called President Trump to praise his recent, highly political speech to its national jamboree. Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Wednesday, “I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them.” But the Boys Scouts specified that neither its president nor its chief executive called, saying, “We are unaware of any such call.” (AP) Florida health officials confirm state’s first sexually transmitted case of Zika for 2017
POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday signed a bill imposing new sanctions on Russia, ending immediate hopes of a reset of U.S. relations with the Kremlin and marking a defeat for his administration, which had expressed concerns that the legislation infringed upon executive power. In a statement, Trump called the bill “seriously flawed,” mainly because it requires congressional review for any actions the administration might seek to take to lift sanctions in the future. “By limiting the Executive’s flexibility, this bill makes it harder for the United States to strike good deals for the American people, and will drive China, Russia, and North Korea much closer together,” Trump said. Despite his reservations, Trump said he signed the bill Wednesday, nearly a week after it was passed by the Senate with a veto-proof majority, for the sake of “national unity.” Trump also questioned Congress’ ability to negotiate sanctions based on its inability to approve the Republicans’ health care legislation. “Congress could not even negotiate a health care bill after seven years of talking,” he said. Russia has already retaliated for the new sanctions, saying it would seize U.S. diplomatic properties and order the U.S. to reduce its diplomatic personnel in Russia by 755 people.

HEADED TO PARIS?

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
There’s always a question attached when talking about the prospects of pass rusher Junior Galette and wide receiver Josh Doctson: Can they stay healthy? Definitively stating that they can help the Redskins in 2017 feels like a jinx. It’s better to whisper. If the Redskins are to contend this year, they’ll likely need Galette harassing quarterbacks and Doctson owning one corner of the end zone. But until they prove they can stay on the field, believing in both players is based more on faith than facts. Washington has waited two seasons for Galette to get on the field. He tore an Achilles tendon in the first week of camp in each of the past two years. The former Saints star hasn’t made it to a preseason game, but the Redskins are still looking for a solid starter opposite linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, so they made the rare move of signing an injured
player for a third time. Doctson played only 31 snaps last season. His initial diagnosis of a strained Achilles tendon in minicamp last year frustrated then-general manager Scot McCloughan so much that he broke his hand punching a wall. The Redskins rested the first-round pick and hoped he would heal. After catching two passes in two weeks, Doctson’s season was over after Sept. 18. Neither Doctson nor Galette is expected to be a statistical leader, but both need to contribute for their units to click. The Redskins may have enough pass rushers to survive without Galette, but his addition could help Washington rise from 28th in total defense last season to a top-15 unit. Galette has looked sharp in the opening days of training camp. The intensity is there. If he can stay healthy, it’s reasonable to expect he could produce like he did in New Orleans. He posted 12 sacks with the Saints in 2013 and 10 in 2014. “Dominant pass rushers

Quiet optimism: Galette, Doctson aren’t safe bets yet
For outside linebacker Junior Galette, top, and receiver Josh Doctson, high expectations in Washington have been tempered by Achilles injuries.
like he was in New Orleans are hard to find,” coach Jay Gruden said. “I think he’s got the quick twitch still.” Doctson doesn’t have a long pro résumé like Galette. He has YouTube videos of leaping touchdowns at Texas Christian. At 6 feet 2, the receiver is expected to pair with Terrelle Pryor Sr. (6-4) to stretch the end zone. And so far in camp, Doctson has delivered. The Redskins have a long history of missing on draft picks for wide receivers. That makes fans afraid to truly believe in Doctson’s return.
They’re more worried he could be another Malcolm Kelly, a 2008 second-rounder from Oklahoma who was constantly injured and managed just 28 catches in two seasons. Hushed tones in the summer would give way to cheers if Galette and Doctson stay off the trainer’s table. Until then, the “knock on wood” policy, which Gruden used this week when he talked about their health, seems necessary.
Neymar is ready to leave Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain is ready to put up a record $262 million to make it happen. The Brazilian striker, 25, broke weeks of silence Wednesday when he told his Barcelona teammates he wants to move on after four seasons. Neymar’s buyout clause is 222 million euros ($262 million). His agent said PSG is willing to pay it, which would dwarf the previous record transfer of 105 million euros ($124.5 million) that Manchester United paid for French midfielder Paul Pogba last year. Neymar scored 105 goals and was a key playmaker for Barcelona as it won a Champions League, two Spanish leagues, three Copa del Reys, one Club World Cup, a UEFA Super Cup and two Spanish Super Cups.

Last-place D.C. forced to look inward in midst of club’s six-match skid MLS As D.C. United took a water break about an hour into Tuesday’s practice, captain Steve Birnbaum used the time to scream at attacking midfielder Luciano Acosta for his play in the previous drill. Fueled by a six-match MLS losing streak, the team’s frustration had reached full boil at RFK stadium. Throughout United’s stint in the basement of the MLS standings this year, coach Ben Olsen has said the club needs to own its results. He referenced that theme in the wake of Saturday’s
4-0 loss at Minnesota. “There is an accountability around here right now that is heightened,” Olsen said after practice. “I’m in that mix, too, the staff, the trainers, the kit man, it’s that type of time where everybody needs to be accountable for their influence around here.” It would be a problem if there weren’t signs of frustration, but the trick is channeling the feeling into something positive. “We got to try to not take it out on each other,” said winger Lloyd Sam, who spent 10 years in England’s second and third tier before joining MLS in 2012. “But sometimes it’s good to have the hard conversations and some fiery moments with each other first, then get together and

What’s the point of the narwhal? The odd sea creature has a special place in the daily life of the Inuit EXHIBITS The narwhal is the weirdo of the sea. Related to dolphins, beluga whales and orcas, narwhals have bullet-shaped bodies that boast a unique feature: a spiraling ivory horn that protrudes straight out and is actually one of their teeth. That horn, in fact, once provided “proof” of a mythical animal.
Viking hunters searching for walrus ivory — which fetched a high price in the 10th through 12th centuries — came upon narwhals and sent the horns south to medieval Europeans, who assumed they must be from unicorns. For Inuit cultures, however, the relationship between humans and narwhals has been much more real, and that’s the focus of “Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend,” a new longterm exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
“The Inuit perspective on narwhals is unique to their land and place,” says William Fitzhugh, curator of archeology and director of the museum’s Arctic Studies Center. In addition to meat, narwhals provide mataaq, a treat made of the inner skin and outer layer of blubber that Fitzhugh hears has a nutty flavor (he hasn’t tried it). Narwhals also provide tusk material, which the Inuit use in their carvings for spiritual practices, art and profit. “Because it is the largest animal hunted by Inuit in northern Baffin Island [Canada’s biggest island], it carries a huge amount of cultural significance — also because its seasonal appearance comes when people have been longing

for fresh food,” Fitzhugh says via email from Newfoundland and Labrador, where he is working with the Labrador Inuit and studying their relationships with animals. The exhibit also uses the narwhal as a way into a larger conversation: climate change. “The idea that the Arctic region is going to be very important in our future is gradually becoming recognized,” Fitzhugh says. “The narwhal can be a symbol of that environment, and the Inuit can help us gain new, needed k nowledge.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Q+A | ROGER WATERS
Bringing us and them together ETHAN MILLER (GETTY IMAGES)
THERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU’RE GUARANTEED to get at a Roger Waters concert: plenty of
Pink Floyd songs, a jaw-dropping stage show and an unbridled political message. The bassist, 73, who co-founded the iconic psychedelic rock band, doesn’t mince words when it comes to President Trump, and the title of his latest solo album says it all: “Is This the Life We Really Want?” Waters’ current tour — which includes this weekend’s two-night stand at Verizon Center — marks a change of direction, though: He has a new backing band and he’s playing songs from a new album for the first time since 2005 (even if those songs are decidedly Floydian). But if all you care about is hearing “Money,” watching a trippy light show or letting out some anti-Trump aggression, you won’t be disappointed. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) Now that you’ve been playing them live, how do you think your new songs stack up next to the classic Pink Floyd cuts? It’s weirdly seamless but when I was putting this show together, I kind of imagined that it might be because it’s one voice spread over very many years. Nevertheless, the song remains the same. We do three tracks off the new album in the first half of the show and we do another one toward the end of the second set and I’m really enjoying singing the new stuff. Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig from the indie band Lucius are your backup singers for this tour. What do they bring to the band? Well, they have their own energy. I met them when I went and did the Newport Folk Festival
a couple of years ago with My Morning Jacket and they were around at the time. [Festival producer] Jay Sweet said, “Did you want to use any other performers?” and I Googled them and I found “Go Home,” which is a fantastic song, and I thought, “Wow, these girls have huge talent.” So I met them and we rehearsed together and they did that show and I was so impressed with them I thought, “I’ve really got to get them to come and work with me at some point.” They bring great vitality and a lot of talent and a staggering new interpretation of [late Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright’s] piece “The Great Gig in the Sky.” I bet that’s a showstopper. It’s fantastic. It’s a great moment
in the first half of the show. I have nothing but the highest of praise for Jess and Holly. Have they — and the rest of your new band members — revitalized some of the older songs for you? Yeah. We were possibly a little stuck in our ways with the old band. You began the tour in Missouri, Kentucky and Oklahoma — three states that went for Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Was that intentional? No, that’s not part of my brief. I run the band and I make the show but I don’t do gig scheduling. But it’s interesting that you ended up starting in red states since this is such a politicized
show. What was the reaction like in those cities? I was a bit concerned going into the first gig in Kansas City but I couldn’t have been more wrong. “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” is the song in the second half where I have a bit of a whack at the nincompoop and it’s the biggest roar of the night — people just love it. There might have been one or two disgruntled people but nobody leaves, I don’t think. This tour is called “Us + Them,” which is a Pink Floyd reference and points to the divisiveness of our times. How do you think we break through that divide? Part of the reason I’m doing this tour is to play my part in trying to spread the message that cooperation is a better way to resolve conflicts than confrontation. That bridges are better than walls, that nationalism and exceptionalism is destroying our world and destroying our lives. Do you feel like you can change people’s minds or opinions through your concerts? I have no doubt about it. People are encouraged by what I do. You can feel it. I feel it. People are
ready to embrace their humanity and to embrace the rest of the human race. People are ready for the idea that we’re all brothers and sisters and that we need to cooperate with one another. Will you change anything about your D.C. shows in case someone from the Trump administration is in the audience? No, we won’t. Putting on a rock ’n’ roll show of this magnitude is not finger painting — it’s quite hard. [But] I might say a few words. We do [“Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)”] in the show and I use kids during that — they come and perform with us onstage — so I’m desperate to find kids [in D.C.] who have a need to be there, want to be there and want to express themselves. To give them an opportunity to express themselves. I shall be looking for kids who — I’m not saying it’s a privilege to be in my show, I’m not that bigheaded — but I want kids who need a bit of help and privilege in their life. I want to be able to help those kids.

Made in Hong Kong Film Festival You can’t spend the weekend punching people, but you can spend it watching other people punch people. The Freer and Sackler Galleries’ 22nd annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival wraps up this weekend with two fight-featuring films and a dramatic indie. “Kung Fu Hustle” (Fri., 7 p.m.) stars some of Hong Kong’s action luminaries as a group of slum residents who take on a gang. “Beast Cops” (Sun., 1 p.m.) is about a dirty cop who gets a by-the-book boss. “Made in Hong Kong” (Sun., 3:30 p.m.), the first independent Hong Kong film made after the territory’s 1997 transfer from Great Britain to China, is about a young man’s descent into the criminal underworld to pay for medical treatment for the woman he loves.

‘The Jerk’
‘The Princess Bride’
Steve Martin was born a poor, black child. So starts “The Jerk,” one of the greatest comedies of all time. See the 1979 hit on the big screen as part of the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse’s Comedy Film Bucket List series. It’s one of the few films guaranteed to make basically anyone laugh. Seriously. Anyone. And you won’t need to bring anything except this ashtray. And this paddle game. And this remote control. And these matches … (you’ll get it after you’ve seen the movie).
Here’s a fun fact about showing boys “The Princess Bride” for the first time: Their reaction to the film exactly mirrors Fred Savage’s character’s reluctance — and then enthusiasm — for the story. The 1987 fantasy classic is the latest entry in the Angelika’s series of family films and a pretty good way to start off your Saturday. After you take the kids, insist that they respond to your every request with “as you wish.” See how long that lasts. Angelika Film Center,

weekendpass Howard County Fair The DC State Fair’s hula hoop competition is the hippest contest around.
Have an old car you just can’t figure out how to get rid of? Why not smash it into other old cars? At the Howard County Fair Demolition Derby (Wednesday & Aug. 12, 7 p.m., $25 to enter, $10 to watch), drivers 18 and up can enter one of two contests to see who can take a licking and keep on ticking (there are a ton of rules and you must register in advance; go to howardcountyfair.org for both). Other smashing ideas include the square-dancing demonstration and the coon mule jumping competition.

The sly shade-throwing of the DC State Fair’s name isn’t the only thing the one-day celebration has going for it. If you want contests that go beyond canning, this is the fair for you. In addition to traditional contests, you’ll find chili, homebrew, pupusa and mumbo sauce competitions (you have to register in advance for all of those). But wait! There’s more! You can just show up and enter hula hoop, limbo, sloppy Joe-eating, watermelon seed-spitting, ice cream-eating, ladies’ arm-wrestling and men’s whiskers competitions. Even your pet can get in on the action with costume contests, a pet/owner look-alike battle, a longest sit-stay event and fetching contests in both Frisbee and tennis ball varieties.

What sets it apart: Horses before carts
What sets it apart: A smokin’ queen
Maryland has a long history of horsing around, but people often forget that not all racing involves sitting on the horse. At the Great Frederick Fair you can see harness racing (Sept. 20-23, noon), where horses pull a buggy and must maintain a certain gait — galloping at full speed breaks the rules. You can also see horses in multiple parades of breeds, at the horse pull on Sept. 15 at 5 p.m., as well as the parade of horsedrawn vehicles on Sept. 23 at 1:30 p.m. One of the more misleadingly named non-horse activities is “It’s Fiber — Functional and Fun,” a fair-long expo that refers not to the colon-related kind, but to the animalhair kind.

Most fairs have their Corn Princess or their Peach Queen, but the Charles County Fair’s monarch possibly best reflects the county’s agricultural heritage. Queen Nicotina represents the area’s long history of tobacco farming. The winning contestant gets to sport the signature robe, which has two golden tobacco leaves on the back, and take home a $1,000 scholarship. The competition began in 1931 and has continued every year (except for one when that pesky WWII was on). If you miss her coronation on Sept. 14, there’s always the carnival, entertainment and, on Sept. 16, a pie-eating competition. Charles County

Maryland State Fair What sets it apart: Arm warfare
At the Fairfax County 4-H Fair and Carnival you can get all of the fair goodness you’d expect — goat-milking demonstrations, vegetable competitions, musical performances — but here you can get it all for free. The cost of admission is a big fat zero, though carnival rides, food and parking come at a price. Still, all the ranch roping (Saturday at 3:30 p.m.) you could want for at the low, low price of nothing is still a pretty good deal.
The Maryland State Fair is also a (metaphorical) gun show. The State Armwrestling Championship — both men’s and women’s, in divisions divided by weight — gives fairgoers a chance to grasp at victory and possibly snap a stranger’s wrist. The Sept. 2 competition begins at 1:15 and ends with the grand finale at 4. Sure, you could just spend your time at the fair watching horse racing or checking out Goetze’s Candy Co. setting a new world’s record by building the largest Cow Tales, but what are you, chicken? If so, the poultry shows are Aug. 25 (10 a.m.) and Sept. 2 (8:30 a.m.). Maryland

Time to shakshuka things up FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CRAVE A BREAKFAST that goes beyond bacon and eggs, fear not: Shakshuka is popping up on menus across D.C.
Though there are countless variations of the one-pan meal, the common components include tomato sauce, peppers and eggs, which all get baked together until the egg whites firm up while the yolks remain runny. Historians believe shakshuka was brought by North African Jews to Israel, where it served as an easy and affordable way to feed a large number of people. D.C.-based chef Rebecca Hassell, along with her business partner Evan Rosenthal, is so fond of the dish that she’s in the process of opening a restaurant dedicated entirely to it called Shakshuka Shack. The menu will highlight three or four variations and include such upgrades as quail eggs and duck eggs. Until it opens, here are a few places to find the so-hot-right-now dish.

Oded Weizmann, chef and owner of Carving Room, has eaten his share of shakshuka. “My parents are from Morocco, so it’s a dish I grew up eating,” he says. Because the menu at his restaurant is influenced by his childhood, shakshuka seemed a natural addition to the brunch menu. Two eggs are cooked in a base of tomatoes, olive oil, cumin, garlic, chili flakes, roasted peppers and paprika and served with a side of toast ($11).

Ghibellina The opening chef at Ghibellina was of Jewish descent, which may explain why shakshuka landed on the menu at this otherwise Italian restaurant. The popular dish ($13), which diners demanded be brought back when it was once taken off the brunch menu, is made with eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce laced with cumin, basil and roasted mushrooms. It’s served with toasted bread.
ZAYTINYA
1610 14th St. NW
Zaytinya 701 Ninth St. NW
The sauce for Zaytinya’s brunch shakshuka ($12) is prepared with onions, piquillo peppers, tomato and a touch of cinnamon and allspice. “The peppers give it a nice, sweet flavor,” chef Michael Costa says. The carnivore’s version is made with chunks of duck leg confit, while the vegetarian alternative replaces that with mushrooms. The dish is served with fresh pitas that release a puff of steam when torn open.
For this Sunday-only brunch dish ($14), chefs at Compass Rose saute onions and garlic and toss in cumin, turmeric, paprika and chili flakes. Tomatoes and peppers are added, and the combination stews for an hour, resulting in a deep, earthy sauce. It’s topped with eggs, feta, yogurt sauce and a spicy Middle Eastern condiment called zhoug, which Compass Rose makes with parsley, cilantro and serrano pepper. “I serve it with bread, so you can sop up the tomato,” co-executive chef Chris Morgan says.

A swing in the right direction The company behind ‘Smoky Mirrors’ pushes trapeze’s heteronormative limits STAGE Sometimes the story starts backstage. Elliot Proebstel, founder of Sweet Spot Aerial Productions, once met two male trapeze performers who were partners both onstage and off; during their act, though, they were each usually paired off with a woman. “I asked if that happened to them commonly and they said they’d never been in a show where they were cast as a couple. All of their coaching told them, ‘You can never look romantic or sexual, you can’t look like a couple, you have to hide that,’ ” Proebstel says. “One of the things that was really important to me
coming out of that conversation was I wanted there to be a company dedicated to ensuring that a diversity of lived experience was presented onstage.” So in early 2015, Sweet Spot was born, and the company’s latest show, “Smoky Mirrors,” comes to the Atlas Performing Arts Center this weekend. Various circus arts — including trapeze, silks and other aerial acts — tell the story of a character’s search for gender identity. “This character is struggling with ‘what aspects of masculinity, what aspects of femininity actually fit who I really am?’ ” Proebstel says. “And it’s her journey through that as she encounters other
performers who start to present more diversity of options and finding what fits for her.” That means audiences may see circus arts in ways that they wouldn’t have seen in the Ringling Bros. tent. Traditionally, “all the men are big and burly and all the women are graceful and scantily clad and gender norms are really rigidly enforced,” Proebstel says. Part of that results from the fact that it’s easier for a big, burly man to catch a small, graceful woman. Sweet Spot, though, shows strength in a variety of forms. “We do have women catchers,” he says. “I think that’s an important part of showing the young girls who come that this is something you can be. You can grow up to be a big, strong, powerful woman.” It’s also unusual to find a
narrative in a circus act, but Proebstel says that, for this story, the aerials really make the characters fly, both literally and metaphorically. “Trans people are not usually portrayed as really wellrounded humans or as people you could look up to. Most media has them either struggling or dying, frankly,” Proebstel says. “And being able to take a trans person and make them not just into a role model and inspiration just because they found their gender, but a role model and inspiration because they’re really a strong, powerful person doing incredible things I think is really important.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

He died, but got a killer set out of it COMEDY The last words of Baltimorebased comedian Jason Weems very nearly were “Thank you, good night.” That’s what he said right before rushing off the stage in a Philadelphia club May 3 in the throes of an asthma attack that rendered him completely unable to breathe. A physician assistant who happened to be in the audience followed him outside and couldn’t detect a heartbeat, but she performed CPR until an ambulance arrived. Weems was clinically dead for about five minutes before the medics got his heart beating again. While Weems, 36, spent the night at a hospital fighting for his life, the club’s booker had no idea who to call. She didn’t have Weems’ wife’s phone number or even her name. So she tweeted
into the void: “Does anyone know @jweemscomedy’s family?” Weems’ fellow comedians sprang into action. “It was like a Twitter emergency phone tree,” says Theresa Concepcion, one of the D.C.- and Baltimore-area comedians who helped get ahold of Weems’ wife. “With me being literally gone for five minutes, they were afraid I had brain damage,” Weems says. “They had me on a ventilator but I still wasn’t responsive.” It wasn’t until the next day, after his wife arrived, that Weems regained consciousness. “I woke up and one of my first thoughts was, ‘I need to get the f--- out of this hospital. Just put a blanket on me and roll me out like Tupac,’ ” Weems recalls. “I knew this dying s---’s gotta be expensive.” Weems’ friend and D.C.-based comedian Haywood Turnipseed Jr. was thinking the same thing. “I knew he was going to have bills, so I messaged him on Facebook and said, ‘Let me know if

there’s anything I can do to help — besides giving you 10 grand,’ ” Turnipseed says. Weems’ bill — after insurance — totaled closer to $61,000. To help, Turnipseed and Conception have organized a fundraiser (dubbed “F.U.N.” for Friends Understanding Needs) at D.C.’s Drafthouse Comedy on Wednesday. The show is free — those who want to donate to Weems can do so through a GoFundMe page or a raffle that night — and will bring together an impressive lineup of
local headliners that includes Rob Maher, Kasaun Wilson and Lafayette Wright. Turnipseed will host the event, which will kick off a series of F.U.N. fundraisers (for various causes, such as legal support for refugee children) at the Drafthouse the second Wednesday of every month. The comedians are eager to help Weems because he’s “on track to being one of the greats,” Turnipseed says, noting that Weems was a semifinalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.”
“We’d hate to see this slow him down.” Weems, who took time off from comedy to recover, will close out the show with a short set. The benefit will be one of the first times he’s tried out his new material onstage — material that, as you might guess, is all about his neardeath experience. In fact, Weems started writing jokes while still at the hospital, asking his wife to take notes on his cellphone. “As soon as I regained consciousness, I was thinking up jokes. Literally before I left the hospital, I had maybe 10 minutes,” he says. “Comedy has saved me in that sense. I still get stressed out about my asthma or my medical bills, but I don’t go off the deep end because I know this s--- is going to turn into a killer 25, 30 minutes. S--- that no other comic has.” By all accounts, Weems’ medical prognosis and comedy future are bright. He’s been taking new medication and hasn’t had any asthma attacks since the Philadelphia show. He’s also working on a new stand-up special and shopping around a sitcom pilot. Turnipseed predicts Weems will come back even stronger — and funnier — than before. “He told the Grim Reaper to kiss his ass,” he says. “There ain’t no stopping him now.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Blondie and Garbage Two forces — one from the ’70s, the other from the ’90s — unite for a nostalgia-inducing show: newwave group Blondie and alt rock band Garbage. Debbie Harry, 72, leads Blondie through the band’s 11th studio album, “Pollinator,” which features collaborators Charli XCX and Sia. The resulting work is a modern blend of disco, house, reggaeton and dubstep-inspired tunes that riff off Blondie’s classic sound. Garbage, meanwhile, released its sixth studio album last summer and an autobiographical book, “This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake.” Wolf Trap, Filene
For the 12th consecutive year, the Summer Spirit Festival returns to Merriweather with a two-day adventure soundtracked by the best R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop and everything in between. As ever, the festival is heavy on nostalgia, with the legendary Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, ’90s girl groups SWV, left, and En Vogue, and influential rap trio De La Soul anchoring the bill. But the festival isn’t just a jaunt down memory lane: It also features Bronx hybrid Tish Hyman, neo-neo-soul band The Internet and New Orleans upstarts Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

MUSIC
J. Cole After teasing his retirement last summer, J. Cole returned in December with a documentary and a pair of songs, “False Prophets” and “Everybody Dies,” that immediately captured the rap zeitgeist. Largely read as diss tracks aimed, respectively, at Kanye West and newcomers Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert, the songs collectively served as a marker for where Cole sees his place in the rap game: as a wise-beyond-his-years protector of the genre. It’s a pose he’d already assumed on his latest album, “4 Your Eyez Only.” Verizon Center, 601 F St. NW; Tue., 8 p.m., $49.50-$125.50.

Mew: Danish rock band Mew became a trio on April’s “Visuals” (though the group is touring as a five-piece). The change in personnel is immediately noticeable: “Visuals” is a much more poppy, almost glittering affair compared to the band’s often heavy and avant-garde earlier output. But that side of Mew is not gone completely. “Candy Pieces All Smeared Out,” for example, is an oddly structured song with some aggressive-sounding passages.

A real force of nature
‘An Inconvenient Sequel’ chases Al Gore around the planet he’s still fighting to protect FILM Al Gore is into sustainable energy. In fact, Al Gore might BE sustainable energy. “We couldn’t keep up with Al,” says Bonni Cohen, one of the directors of “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” the follow-up to the Oscar-winning documentary on climate change “An Inconvenient Truth.” “He wanted to just go, go, go and at some points we cried ‘uncle.’ ” During the filming of “An Inconvenient Sequel,” which opens Friday, former Vice President Gore was mostly go, go, going at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. Though the Paris talks give the film its narrative center, we also
see Gore on the road in the U.S., giving lectures and training on climate change — even to those who don’t believe it’s happening. “I don’t think anybody is really and truly unreachable,” Gore says. “It is certainly true that some climate deniers have such a hard shell around them that it sometimes seems you’re wasting your time, but most aren’t in that category. I always try to remember the old saying: First seek to understand. Where are they coming from? What assumption have they bought into that you can change?” Advocates for cleaner fuels have ammunition that wasn’t around when “An Inconvenient Truth” came out in 2006: money.
‘An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power’ (PG, 98 min.)
DIRECTORS: Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk IN A NUTSHELL: The sequel to “An Inconvenient Truth” follows Al Gore as he travels the world training climate champions and influencing international climate policy.
And that talks even to people who believe the idea of global warming is a political tool of the left. “Liberal conspiracy or not, conservatives would be interested in the financial gains in the sustainable-energy revolution,” says Jon Shenk, the new film’s
other director. “The [cost] of solar energy and wind has really come down, so it’s a viable, sometimes cheaper alternative to traditional energy sources.” Though “An Inconvenient Sequel” emphasizes that so many solutions to climate change are in our grasp, it also warns that the things that were scary in the first movie are even scarier now, with extreme weather and its destructive effects becoming more and more common worldwide. “It’s only honest to tell people the hard news, what the danger is and how high the stakes are,” Gore says, “but I think it’s crucial to couple it with the legitimate hope that’s being created every day.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

‘Kevin Can Wait’ will kill off Erinn Hayes’ character
CBS comedy “Kevin Can Wait,” starring Kevin James as family man Kevin Gable, will address the exit of Erinn Hayes, left, who plays Gable’s wife, Donna, by killing off her character in Season 2. Network execs said Tuesday the new season will fast-forward a year to find Kevin Gable widowed, clearing the deck for Leah Remini, James’ TV wife on “The King of Queens,” who also guest-starred on “Kevin Can Wait” last season.

Audra McDonald to join “The Good Fight” as series regular for Season 2
1924-2017 Judith Jones, the legendary editor who introduced Anne Frank’s “Diary of a Young Girl” to English-language readers and helped revolutionize American cuisine by publishing Julia Child and other celebrated cookbook authors, died of complications from Alzheimer’s Wednesday at her summer home in Walden, Vt. She was 93. Jones herself was an author who worked on many cookbooks with her husband, Evan Jones. She wrote the memoir “The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food,” published in 2007. The year before, she received the James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. Jones, born in 1924, grew up in Manhattan. She worked in her 20s as a reader for Doubleday in Paris, where she discovered Anne Frank’s “Diary of a Young Girl” in a reject pile. Her most famous treasure, however, was Child, a chef in the early ‘60s, who, with co-authors Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, was seeking a publisher for a cookbook (later titled by Jones “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”). Jones treated food like literature and literature like food; both were sensual pleasures. “One line I always quote is, ‘In a bowl combine the first mixture with the second mixture,’” she once told The Associated Press. “It’s hideous. Whereas [Child] would say, ‘Pick it up and plop it in the bowl and get your hands in and squeeze it.’” HILLEL ITALIE (AP)

@TKMADDEN, tweeting about the first time she saw herself represented in a character. In a new Netflix campaign, Ava DuVernay and other creative people shared their experiences with representation, inspiring the #FirstTimeISawMe hashtag. @kimberlymade said she first saw herself in Brandy’s Cinderella in the 1997 film, because “I had never seen a black princess before.” For @lizeth_limon, it was the main characters in kids show “Maya & Miguel,” because it was the first time she saw “Mexican American kids that weren’t best friends with a monkey.”
“Do you know how many white people truly and genuinely believe that black people get to go to college for free?” @ISMASHFIZZLE, Ashley C. Ford,
tweeting about an anecdote from her past when she had to inform a group of white young men at summer camp that as a black person, she did not get to go to college for free. Ford shared her experience after the Trump administration announced plans to investigate affirmative action.

@PARDESOTERIC, Arielle Pardes, tweeting this picture of what looks like an ancient fidget spinner. Pardes came across the artifact in the Mesopotamian gallery of the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago. It’s labeled as a “Spinning toy with animal heads.” The museum’s chief curator, Jean Evans, told The Verge she thinks it’s actually the head of a weapon, not a toy.
“Gotta ask my mom if she still has any of her old boobs from the ‘80s that I can wear.” @HELFITZGERALD, tweeting in jest after the New York Post ran an article headlined “Boobs are back in a big way.” Citing Rihanna’s red dress at the UK “Valerian” premiere, the writer declared “bountiful boobs are back in style.” Twitter responded quickly: “Thank god I kept mine in storage with all of my beanie babies,” @annetdonahue joked.

don’t want to have anything to do with something that is brewing close to home, and it’s best if you make this clear from the outset.
TODAY: Highs make their way to near 90 or a little higher, with partly sunny skies and moderate humidity. We can’t rule out a couple of isolated storms in the late afternoon. That chance of isolated storms persists into the evening. And then we’re partly to mostly cloudy with lows from the upper 60s to mid-70s.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone may be trying to make an example of you, but you’re not about to let yourself be pigeonholed. You can remain aloof. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have much to say, but your instincts tell you that it’s not the time to share yet. Patience is a virtue.

Kanye, short $10 million, joins rest of us
New dad still in existential crisis phase Bobby Moynihan and his wife, Brynn O’Malley, have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl. The former “Saturday Night Live” star confirmed the news Tuesday to Entertainment Tonight. “It’s life, man. It’s life. Crazy,” Moynihan said when asked how he’s doing as a new father. He did not reveal the baby’s name or exact birthday, though O’Malley was due July 14. (EXPRESS)
Kanye West’s representatives are suing insurers for failing to pay nearly $10 million for West’s canceled Saint Pablo Tour last year. The lawsuit filed Tuesday by Very Good Touring against Lloyd’s of London alleges breach of contract and seeks punitive damages and fees beyond the $9.8 million in concert losses. West canceled several dates last year after his wife, Kim Kardashian West, was robbed in Paris. West also canceled the end of his tour after he was admitted to a psychiatric care facility in November. Very Good Touring says it obtained insurance against “accidental bodily injury or illness” for West’s tour, and that his hospitalization qualifies. (AP)

“I love a good compound swear word. ‘This party’s s----y’ isn’t nearly as effective as ‘This party’s a total s--- symphony.’ ”
“The Hills” star Lauren Conrad shared in a People cover story the first public photos of her baby, William “Liam” James, born July 5. William is the first child of Conrad and husband William Tell. “Before the delivery, I felt like I was getting ready for a blind date,” she told People. “We considered doing the 4D ultrasound but then decided to wait. I just remember thinking he was so cute.” (EXPRESS)
