New partnership aims to connect riders with myriad options THE WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

TRANSPORTATION Metro rail and bus riders in the Washington region can now find their next train and bus times in an unlikely place: Lyft.

The ride-hailing app, which has scooped up an increasing share of everyday commuters, will connect users to Metro within its app, it says, through a new partnership with the transit agency. It’s an effort, the company says, to lead commuters to the best available mode of transportation — regardless of what that mode might be.

Lyft’s Caroline Samponaro, who heads bike, scooter and pedestrian policy for the ridehailing company, said the transit integration is a way to give commuters a “fuller picture” of their options — even if the best way around isn’t, well, Lyft.

“We believe in the inherent value of public transit in cities and want to be a partner to the

District and the region,” Samponaro said. Metro, in a statement, applauded the agreement.

With the addition of Metro, Lyft boasts that it now offers a more thorough mobility service, including scooters, traditional and pooled ride-hailing and transit — all within its app.

That makes D.C. essentially

its East Coast hub for mobility, company officials said in announcing the transit integration.

With the agreement, Metro becomes the busiest transit system to be integrated in the app — following the feature’s launch in Santa Monica, Calif., in September and Los Angeles last week.

Metro faces budget standoff Maryland and Virginia oppose plan for more service to win riders TRANSPORTATION Maryland and Virginia don’t want to pay for a Metro plan to expand rush-hour service, adopt a flat $2 weekend fare and make other service improvements designed to lure back riders.

Officials in both states say the proposal from General Manager Paul Wiedefeld — to be considered at a Metro board meeting today — would break a new 3 percent cap on annual increases in the operating subsidies they give the transit system.

Board member Michael Goldman, who represents Maryland,

verbatim

wants Metro to consider a 4 percent fare increase for rail and bus riders as an option so the jurisdictions would not be bound to raise their subsidies by tens of millions of dollars at Metro’s behest.

But D.C., which supports Wiedefeld’s plan, indicated it would veto any fare increase, and Virginia also opposes a general fare hike.

If Maryland and Virginia reject Wiedefeld’s plan, it would set back his strategy of enhancing service to rebuild rail ridership, a top priority for the transit agency.

Wiedefeld’s proposed budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, adds $20 million in annual subsidies, above the 3 percent cap, for service improvements. Those include extending Yellow Line

“Maryland is dead set on sticking with the cap, and so is Virginia.”

METRO BOARD MEMBER JIM CORCORAN, who represents Virginia,

saying the states are against breaking a new 3 percent cap on annual increases in operating subsidies

service to Greenbelt, running all Red Line trains to Glenmont, and expanding all trains to eight cars. It also would add 30 minutes of peak-frequency service in the morning, ending at 10 a.m., and 90 minutes in the evening, concluding at 8:30 p.m.

“We as a region say we want more hours, we want more cars, more bus routes … and we’re here to do that,” Wiedefeld said.

“It’s got to come with dollars.”

He said the cap need not be an obstacle if the jurisdictions agree to pay extra for specific service enhancements.

“We should always be looking very hard to control costs and this [cap] forces us to do that,” Wiedefeld said. “It was never meant as a mechanism to say, ‘And we should never add new service.’ ” The board is scheduled to give initial approval to a budget proposal today. The proposal would then go for public hearings, and to a vote in March.

D. C. priest Urbano Vazquez jailed Wednesday after more sex assault charges filed

THE DISTRICT A D.C. Superior Court judge halted efforts Wednesday to force a new referendum on a law approved by voters — but repealed by the D.C. Council — that would overhaul how servers, bartenders and other tipped workers are paid.

Advocates were poised to submit more than 25,000 signatures needed to again ask voters to require employers to pay a higher base wage to tipped workers. Voters approved that measure — known as Initiative 77 — in June, but a majority of the D.C. Council overturned it several months later.

Judge Neal Kravitz agreed with opponents, who are backed by the local restaurant industry, that elections officials failed to follow proper procedure when they allowed referendum supporters to collect signatures.

The judge’s ruling came as petition organizers, above, were turning in boxes of signatures they had collected at a breakneck speed in the past week.

Kravitz said the D.C. Board of Elections can accept the signatures but not take any action on them. That way, if his ruling is appealed and overturned, the referendum can move forward.

Diana Ramirez, who leads the D.C. branch of Restaurant Opportunities Center United, which is trying to get the measure back on the ballot, said her group won’t give up the fight and would most likely appeal the judge’s ruling. FENIT NIRAPPIL (TWP)

Suit alleges police racism Civil rights group says chief condones acts of abuse by white officers PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY White police officers in Prince George’s County have used racist slurs, circulated text messages expressing a desire to “reinstitute lynching” and put a black face and Afro wig on a training dummy, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Civil rights groups sued the county and its police chief on behalf of several current and

former officers. The suit accuses police officials of condoning racist, abusive behavior by white officers and retaliating against black and Hispanic officers who complain about misconduct.

The suit claims the county’s police chief, Henry Stawinski, has allowed racism to “thrive” in his department since his appointment nearly two years ago.

It seeks unspecified monetary damages, including punitive damages, as well as a court order requiring the county to abolish racial discrimination within its police department.

In October 2017, Stawinski said the Justice Department was investigating allegations that the department’s employment practices discriminated against Hispanics and blacks.

Police department spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan said Wednesday she can’t comment on pending litigation. The police department isn’t named as a defendant, but Stawinski and three other police officials are.

The suit claims they have “perpetuated a long-standing pattern and practice of discrimination.”

Hogan makes push for Redskins home Governor discusses a land swap to keep team in Pr. George’s PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Intent on keeping the Washington Redskins in Prince George’s County, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, has held a series of private meetings over the past two years with team owner Daniel Snyder and, more recently, has spoken with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke about acquiring control of federal land for a new stadium.

The upshot was a memorandum of understanding with federal officials that represents the first step toward Maryland getting development rights to a 300-acre parcel of land in Oxon Cove, adjacent to MGM National Harbor, via a “land swap.”

Hogan expounded on his efforts Tuesday, explaining that the deal is not final and insisting that Maryland would not contribute financially toward construction of a new stadium.

“We are not going to build a billionaire’s stadium, either,” Hogan told reporters. “We have no interest whatsoever, and there have been no discussions, ever, about us spending one penny in construction.”

Nonetheless, local officials

pushed back swiftly on the governor’s under-the-radar approach to negotiations and sounded alarms about an NFL stadium’s impact on traffic and the environment.

Council member Monique Anderson Walker, D-District 8, whose district includes the site, said local officials were “blindsided with this information.”

As Hogan explained the parameters of the proposed deal, Maryland would trade a parcel of land it owns in the western part of the state for the 300-acre federally owned parcel near National Harbor. Before any deal can be executed, the land must undergo an environmental assessment and appraisal, he noted. LIZ CLARKE AND RACHEL CHASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Macron grapples with attack, tax protesters

U.S. returns Philippine bells taken in 1901

FRANCE French President Emmanuel Macron is trying to take back control of his nation after a month of protests that caused mayhem across the country — and now a new extremist attack that’s putting France on renewed terrorism alert.

Striving to show he’s responding to “yellow vest” protesters’ demands for tax relief, the French leader maintained his planned agenda Wednesday: He held his weekly Cabinet meeting and talks with businesses, notably to encourage them to give a tax-free bonus to employees.

At the same time, Macron’s office said he was receiving updates about the investigation into Tuesday’s Strasbourg attack and hunt for the gunman, still on the run.

Macron said, “The terrorist threat is still at the core of our nation’s life,” in comments reported by government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux.

“Public order must prevail in every place and every circumstance,” Macron added.

Within his presidential palace and the halls of government, concerns about the protests remain intense despite the attack.

The shooting Tuesday night came just 24 hours after Macron

tax relief for retirees and wage increases for struggling workers.

An estimated 23 million viewers watched him live — more than the audience for France’s victory in soccer’s World Cup final in July, and a historic record for a televised address by a president.

The president’s office noted the viewership as a positive signal: proof that the French still listen to Macron. Yet public opinion appeared split over whether he succeeded or not.

Some members of the yellow ve st moveme nt h ave called for new protests on Saturday. Others have called for a “truce,” acknowledging that progress has been made.

The revered Bells of Balangiga will once again be heard in the Philippines more than a century after they were taken by the U.S. Army. In 1901, Filipino villagers used one of the Balangiga church bells to signal the start of a massive attack against American occupation forces in the Philippines. The U.S. Army brutally retaliated, and took three church bells as spoils of the Philippine-American War. Filipinos consider the bells symbols of national pride and have demanded for decades that they be handed back. On Tuesday, a giant U.S. Air Force cargo aircraft brought the bells to Manila. They will be moved to the church in Balangiga this weekend. (AP)

FBI warns of Chinese threat Officials accuse Beijing of long-term campaign to steal U.S. assets WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWERPOST

Congress strikes deal on sexual harassment bill NG HAN GUAN (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONAL SECURITY A senior FBI official on Wednesday said that Chinese economic espionage as well as efforts to steal U.S. research and influence American discourse amount to “the most severe counterintelligence threat” facing the United States today.

E.W. “Bill” Priestap, head of the bureau’s counterintelligence division, joined two other senior security officials in outlining what they described as Beijing’s long-term campaign to undermine the United States’ economic and technological dominance.

China’s Communist Party “dominates every facet of Chinese life,” from religion to freedom of expression and business, Priestap said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“It is therefore alarming that the Chinese government’s economic aggression, including its relentless theft of U.S. assets, is positioning China to supplant us as the world’s superpower.”

The hearing came as announcements of indictments of Chinese hackers and other actions planned for this week have been put off for now, officials said, declining to elaborate.

The hearing also came as U.S. private sector and government investigators have turned up evidence that the Chinese Ministry of State Security, the

Security experts say China is working to undermine the United States’ economic and technological dominance.

main intelligence agency, was probably behind the hack of Marriott’s Starwood chain hotel reservation system. That breach exposed the private data and travel details of as many as 500 million people.

Homeland Security official Christopher Krebs said, however, that the investigation was in its early stages.

China has become the United States’ top long-term strategic threat, officials and analysts said, with its modernizing military and its efforts to increase its global influence and to become the world leader in advanced technology — through “any means necessary,” as Priestap said.

Assistant Attorney General John Demers said: “The playbook is simple — rob, replicate and replace. Rob the American company of its intellectual property.

Replicate the technology. And replace the American company in the Chinese market and one day in the global market.”

The lawmakers expressed concern about the Chinese government’s reported efforts to finance Chinese nationals’ work or study in the U.S. and then pressure them to use their access to obtain research that would be of strategic value to China. Priestap said the bureau has worked “thousands” of complaints and investigations about such activity.

“Every rock we turn over, every time we look for it, it is not only there — it is worse than anticipated,” he said.

China’s use of “Confucius Institutes,” organizations set up on 150 American college campuses with Chinese government funding to teach Chinese language and culture, also drew scrutiny.

According to James Mulvenon, a China expert who testified during a second panel before the Judiciary Committee, the institutes were created by the United Front Work Department, a Chinese Communist Party organization responsible for guiding overseas influence and propaganda activities.

ICC: Former Central African Republic militia leader arrested on suspicion of war crimes

More than a year after the #MeToo era began, the House and Senate reached a deal Wednesday to change their policies on sexual harassment, paving the way for reforms to take effect when the new Congress convenes in January.

The agreement, confirmed by three congressional aides and an outside advocate, was brokered after nearly seven months of negotiations between the two chambers.

Advocates had decried Congress for its slow pace in changing a system that has been widely criticized as unfair to staff who accuse lawmakers of misconduct.

A House Democratic aide said the deal will require lawmakers to reimburse the Treasury Department for settlements related to harassment and retaliation but not discrimination.

The two chambers split on a handful of issues, including making free legal counsel available to accusers, the aide said.

More than a half-dozen members of Congress were forced to resign in the last year amid allegations of sexual harassment or misconduct.

It was not immediately clear whether the compromise bill would pass as a stand-alone measure or be attached to must-pass legislation to fund the government. ELISE VIEBECK

nation+world Margin of victory leaves British PM a weakened leader in face of Brexit LONDON British Prime Minister Theresa May survived a political crisis over her Brexit deal Wednesday, winning a no-confidence vote by Conservative lawmakers that would have ended her leadership of party and country.

But the margin of victory — 200 votes to 117 — leaves May a weakened leader who has lost the support of a big chunk of her party over her handling of Britain’s exit from the European Union.

It also came at a steep price as she promised not to run for

re-election in 2022. Britain’s Brexit problem, meanwhile, remains unsolved as May seeks changes to her EU divorce deal to make it more palatable to Parliament. Britain’s EU departure is set for March 29.

May said she was “pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues” but acknowledged that “a significant number” had voted against her in Wednesday evening’s secret ballot.

“I have listened to what they said,” May promised as she stood in a darkened Downing Street after what she called a “long and challenging day.”

The threat to May had been building as pro-Brexit Conservative lawmakers grew increasingly frustrated with the prime

minister’s handling of Brexit.

Many supporters of Brexit say May’s deal, a compromise that retains close economic ties with

the EU, fails to deliver the clean break with the bloc that they want.

The balloting came after May’s Conservative opponents, who circled the beleaguered prime minister for weeks hoping to spark a no-confidence vote, finally got the numbers they needed to call one.

The vote was triggered when at least 48 lawmakers —15 percent of Conservative legislators — wrote letters asking for a noconfidence ballot.

On Monday, May postponed a vote to approve the divorce deal to avoid all-but-certain defeat.

Cocaine deaths climb steadily across U.S. HEALTH Deaths from cocaine sharply increased from 2011 to 2016 across the U.S., adding another dimension to a crisis of fatal overdoses that has primarily been driven by opioids, according to new data from the National Center for Health Statistics released Wednesday.

Overdose deaths from cocaine increased by about 18 percent each year during the five-year period. The data also show a staggering increase in the number of deaths from the synthetic opioid fentanyl — about 113 percent each year from 2013 to 2016.

It is often mixed in with other drugs without the user’s knowledge, increasing the possibility of an overdose.

Oxycodone, a prescription painkiller, contributed to the most opioid overdoses in 2011.

Heroin was the most common drug in overdose deaths from 2012 to 2015, and fentanyl caused the most overdose deaths in 2016.

Cocaine, which had been waning in popularity, was the second- or third-most-common cause of overdose deaths every year, and the number of overdose deaths from cocaine nearly doubled from 2014 to 2016. Meth is also becoming more popular, the data show.

More than 70,000 died of drug overdoses in 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Dirty deeds,’ hard time NEW YORK Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s onetime fixer, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for crimes that included arranging the payment of hush money to conceal his boss’s alleged sexual affairs, telling a judge that he agreed time and again to cover up Trump’s “dirty deeds” out of “blind loyalty.”

Separately, the legal and political peril surrounding Trump appeared to deepen when prosecutors announced that another major piece of the investigation had fallen into place: The parent company of the National Enquirer acknowledged dispensing some of the hush money in concert with the Trump campaign to fend off a scandal that could have damaged his bid for the White House.

Cohen, 52, shook his head slightly and closed his eyes as a judge pronounced his sentence for evading $1.4 million in taxes, lying about Trump’s business dealings in Russia and violating campaign finance laws in buying the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy centerfold Karen McDougal, who claimed they had sex with the candidate.

Cohen and federal prosecutors have said the payments were made at Trump’s direction to influence the election.

“Time and time again, I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds rather than to listen to my own inner voice and my moral compass,” said a chokedup Cohen, a lawyer who once boasted he would “take a bullet” for Trump. “My weakness can be characterized as a blind loyalty to Donald Trump, and I was weak for not having the strength to question and to refuse his demands.”

Cohen laments ‘blind loyalty’ to Trump as he’s sentenced to three years in prison

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Michael Cohen to pay the IRS $1.39 million in restitution and told him to report to prison March 6.

represented a double dose of bad news for the president, who ignored reporters’ questions about Cohen during an appearance at the White House later in the day.

In a possible sign of further trouble for the president, Cohen said he will continue cooperating with prosecutors, and one of his legal advisers said Cohen is also prepared to tell “all he knows” to Congress if asked.

At the sentencing, defense

AMI avoids prosecution The U.S. attorney’s office in New York said Wednesday it won’t prosecute the National Enquirer’s parent company over its efforts to suppress an embarrassing story about Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.

attorney Guy Petrillo pleaded for leniency for Cohen, saying, “He came forward to offer evidence against the most powerful person in our country.”

U.S. District Judge William Pauley III said the defendant deserved modest credit, but his assistance “does not wipe the slate clean.”

The judge also ordered Cohen to pay $1.39 million in restitution to the IRS, forfeit $500,000 and pay $100,000 in fines. He was ordered to report to prison March 6.

The prison sentence was in line with what prosecutors asked for.

Sentencing guidelines called for around four to five years, and the government asked that Cohen be given only a slight break.

The sentence was the culmination of a spectacular rise and rapid fall of a lawyer who attached himself to the fortunes of his biggest client, helped him get elected, then turned on him, cooperating with two interconnected investigations: one run by federal prosecutors in New York, the other by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is looking into Russia’s efforts to influence the presidential election.

It is unclear what Cohen has told prosecutors or what he has left to say, though one of Mueller’s prosecutors, Jeannie Rhee, said in court that Cohen has “provided consistent and credible information about core Russiarelated issues under investigation.” Legal experts said Cohen could get his sentence reduced by cooperating.

Cohen also admitted lying to Congress to conceal that he was negotiating a proposal to build a Trump skyscraper in Moscow well into the presidential campaign season. LARRY NEUMEISTER

BUSINESS Economists report that workers are starting to act like millennials on Tinder: They’re ditching jobs with nary a text.

“A number of contacts said that they had been ‘ghosted,’ a situation in which a worker stops coming to work without notice and then is impossible to contact,” the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago noted in December’s Beige Book, which tracks employment trends.

National data on workplace “ghosting” is lacking. But companies across the country say silent exits are on the rise.

Analysts blame America’s increasingly tight labor market.

Job openings have surpassed the number of seekers for eight months, and unemployment has clung to a 49-year low of 3.7 percent since September.

Janitors, baristas, welders, accountants, engineers — they’re all in demand, said Michael Hicks, a labor economist at Indiana’s Ball State University.

“Why hassle with a boss and a bunch of out-processing,” he said, “when literally everyone has been hiring?”

Recruiters at the global staffing firm Robert Half have noticed a “10 to 20 percent increase” in ghosting over the past year, D.C. district president Josh Howarth said.

“You feel like someone has a high level of interest only for them to just disappear,” Howarth said. DANIELLE PAQUETTE

sports Rizzo was satisfied at second base, then came new prospects NATIONALS In the early days of the offseason, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo indicated he was happy with his second base situation. He said he was “comfortable” with the combination of veteran Howie Kendrick and more athletic, light-hitting Wilmer Difo.

But little by little over the past two months, Rizzo’s public stance has changed. Sure, he has to say he’s comfortable with what he has, lest he insult the capabilities of those on his roster. But by the second day of the winter meetings this week, Rizzo’s response to the second base question had evolved considerably.

“If there was a definite everyday second baseman that we liked, we’d certainly consider that,” Rizzo said in Las Vegas.

“We’ve left ourselves open to a lot of different kinds of options, a lot of different ways to construct

the bench and the back end of the roster.”

One everyday second baseman the Nationals like is free agent DJ LeMahieu, and they have had multiple conversations with his representatives, according to a person familiar with the situation.

LeMahieu, 30, spent seven seasons with the Rockies and was the NL batting champion (.348) in 2016. His line-drive-heavy tendencies suggest he would continue to be so when removed from Coors Field, though he is a .329 career hitter in Denver and a .264 career hitter elsewhere. At Nationals Park, he is hitting .343.

He is also a Gold Glover, a twotime All-Star and regarded as one of the best second baseman in the game. But in an inundated second base market, he is not the Nationals’ only option.

Veterans including Jed Lowrie, Brian Dozier and Ian Kinsler are available, and would not provide a long-term roadblock to prospect Carter Kieboom, who some in the organization believe could be big league-ready as soon as this year.

Marwin Gonzalez

The most versatile fit?

Former Astros utility man Marwin Gonzalez is a respected clubhouse presence and a switch-hitter who can play just about anywhere. The 29-year-old is not a natural second baseman, but could handle the position while also spelling Ryan Zimmerman at first base. If the Nats are serious about versatility, Gonzalez fits the mold. (TWP)

Former Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison could provide value. He hit .250 in 97 games last season. Difo is a .250 career

hitter, but the Nationals do not see him as productive enough to serve as an everyday player.

The Nationals are committed to improving their defense up the middle, something with which any of the aforementioned candidates could help.

What is clear, weeks after Rizzo suggested the Nationals could live with Kendrick and Difo at second, is that they do not plan to do so. Second base options abound, and Rizzo likely won’t be totally comfortable until the Nationals have another one themselves. CHELSEA JANES

The word Tuesday out of the winter meetings in Las Vegas was that the Orioles had chosen a new manager: Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde, who has a broad background in player development and coaching. The Athletic reported it first, and numerous outlets confirmed it with sources who asked not to be named. Not so fast, new Orioles GM Mike Elias said.

He told Orioles beat writers that no offer had been made and no announcement was likely this week.

If Hyde, 45, gets the job to succeed Buck Showalter, he’ll bring solid credentials — he managed in the Marlins organization and has been on the Cubs staff for six seasons, the past four under Joe Maddon.

I have two favorite brunch places, so I’ll have to bend the time-space continuum so I can be at both at the same time.

One is The Pinch, which has bottomless mimosas, and I’d also eat the pretzel-crusted fried pickles. The other is Brookland’s Finest Bar & Kitchen, where I’d get more mimosas

and the fried green tomato eggs Benedict.

Then I’d go to a museum. My favorite is the second floor of the Smithsonian American Art Museum — it’s this wild place with the coolest, weirdest art.

Then I’d travel back in time to see the old-school Capital Fringe Festival. All my weird theater friends are nostalgic about Fort Fringe, the downtown headquarters that was falling apart. My feeling is, if your headquarters doesn’t reflect the state of the arts, what are you doing?

I would go for lunch at the izakaya upstairs at Daikaya, at H and Sixth St. NW, and I would eat literally everything there. I would start with a bowl of fried garlic, because it appeals to my inner Southerner.

I would grab a drink at Barrel, and they would be doing a satirical pop-up in their downstairs bar. I went to their Trump satire bar on election night [in 2016] — they had these giant menus that made your hands look small. Peak D.C. That night went from hilarious satire to terrifying dystopia pretty quickly and I racked up the worst bar tab I’ve had in my entire life. That wouldn’t happen on my dream day.

It’s night now, and I’d get the party started with one of my favorite events, Smut Slam DC. It’s a monthly storytelling open mic at Ten Tigers Parlour, where all the stories are about true, sexy things. It’s super queerfriendly and sex-positive.

To round out my evening, I’d go see my favorite recurring theater event in D.C. It’s The Tarot Reading, and each show is made up of vignettes devised by the performers with audience participation. At the last show, one of the actors walked an audience member through his daughter’s bedtime routine and talked about the vulnerability of being a new dad — the fear but also the love. So I’d go see Tarot Reading, and it would make me cry. AS TOLD TO SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

The family that rocked

encounter sexism as a female vocalist, Richards says she also found a degree of acceptance in the punk community that was tough to come by anywhere else.

“When I started going to punk rock shows, I felt like I had found my tribe,” Richards says. “Kids who just didn’t belong anywhere, who questioned the system that they were growing up under — we weirdos found each other.”

R ich a rd s ’ s e nt i me nt i s summed up most succinctly through “Banned in DC’s” name.

Though punk rockers initially didn’t get a whole lot of mainstream media support — as Connolly describes it, they were “essentially banned from their own city” — that didn’t stop them from building a flourishing community that would go on to gain international recognition.

“That was one of the reasons why I was in D.C. — I really wanted to be with people who were looking forward, not backward,” Connolly says. “Really just doing what they wanted to do, and not seeing any obstacles.”

Monica Richards, who fronted several bands in the ‘80s, “found my tribe” in D.C.’s punk family.

BOOKS Looking back on her formative years performing in D.C.’s punk scene, Monica Richards singles out one critique from her male bandmates that she’s never forgotten: For her to fit in, she needed to sing like a man.

“I was really upset when I was told that,” she says. “ ‘Sing like a girl’ meant sing high, ‘sing like a boy’ meant shout it out hard.’ ” And so Richards did shout hard during shows. Not for the sake of being accepted by her peers, but to prove that female musicians could rock just as fiercely onstage as their male counterparts. Richards is one of the many local figures highlighted in the 1988 book “Banned in DC,” which depicts the city’s punk rock scene from 1979 to 1985, when legendary bands such as Fugazi, Minor Threat and Bad Brains were just starting out playing small clubs and house venues.

To mark “Banned in DC’s” 30th anniversary, the Hirshhorn Museum is hosting a discussion and book signing on Thursday.

The panel features co-authors Cynthia Connolly of Arlington and Leslie Clague (who now lives in Pittsburgh) and the Hirshhorn’s curator of media and performance art, Mark Beasley.

Scattered throughout the book’s 184 glossy pages are hundreds of photos (many taken by Connolly and Clague), flyers and anecdotes that document a monumental time in D.C. history.

“I realized that people were going to move or disappear, and the stories were going to get lost,” Connolly says. “It was then that I decided to start working on

‘Banned in DC.’ ” Connolly was born in Los Angeles and moved to D.C. with her family in 1981. While getting acquainted with the city’s music scene, she met fellow “Banned in DC” collaborators Clague and Sharon Cheslow. Starting in the fall of 1986, the three began gathering photos and other memorabilia for their project. (The seventh edition of their book, which will be available at the Hirshhorn bookstore, features an afterward

by Connolly on how “Banned in DC” came to exist.)

While punk stages at the time featured mostly men, “Banned in DC” makes the point that the local music scene wasn’t completely dominated by dudes.

“There were so many women who were constructive and involved in the punk music scene,” Connolly says. “There were some who were in bands, but women were also doing all different kinds of things behind the scenes — making flyers, handing them out or selling things at shows.”

The trailblazing women included the members of Chalk Circle, one of the first all-female punk bands to emerge from D.C. (Cheslow was a member of the band). There was also Toni Young, a sharp African-American bassist who played with local stalwarts like Red C before passing away in the mid-’80s from pneumonia.

“If you look through the photos of [Toni] in the book, you could tell that she was just a brilliant and outspoken performer,” Connolly says. “She was one of those people who didn’t feel uncomfortable at any place that she was — she was totally herself.”

Richards, who’s also featured prominently throughout the book, fronted a number of D.C. bands in the ’80s such as Hate From Ignorance, Madhouse and Strange Boutique. While she did

Life’s a party with Puddles

1811 14TH St NW www.blackcatdc.com @blackcatdc DEC/JAN SHOWS FRI 14

The nearly 7-foot-tall sad clown known as Puddles has been a YouTube sensation since his melancholy, low-baritone cover of Lorde’s “Royals” went viral five years ago. Created in 1998 by his alter ego, Atlanta-based musician Mike Geier, Puddles performs torchsong-style covers of pop hits and standards for his videos and live show, “Puddles Pity Party.” Before Puddles’ concert at the Kennedy Center on Friday, we connected with him via email to find out what it’s like to walk in his sneakers.

“He is a true gentleman,” Puddles says of the actor. “I would do anything for that fella.”

You might wind up hugging him. Puddles’ live show is all about audience participation. If your guard is down, you might end up singing with him onstage, joining him in an embrace or handing over your cellphone.

This clown is into heavy metal. “Metal is so muscular.

It pumps you up!” Puddles says. “But it’s also not afraid to parade its feminine side with epic high notes, long luxurious locks and smoky eye makeup!

So much drama. What’s not to like?” Puddles even performs a “smoosh-up” that blends Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” with Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” and “One.” “Two great tastes that taste great together!” he says.

Puddles was surprised by how well his cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” turned out. “Matthew Kaminski, the Atlanta Braves’ organist, put such an incredible twist on the music,” Puddles says of his collaborator on the song. “He is an artist of the highest order.”

weekendpass Q&A | LINDSEY STIRLING

Good cheer, tunes and her little dog too

“That’s what I learned as a musician growing up: If you play through mistakes, you don’t learn from them.”

For 90 minutes on Friday night, you can count on Lindsey Stirling to leap across the stage at The Anthem — over and over again — and twirl and waltz and tap, all while jamming on her electric violin. Beyond that, don’t assume anything about the energetic entertainer’s holiday spectacle of a tour, even if you saw her show last year at the same place. “We’ve added more dancers, which allows for new kinds of choreography, and I’ve implemented some of the ballroom I learned on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ ” says Stirling, 32, who released a deluxe version of her 2017 holiday album “Warmer in the Winter” in October, featuring five new tracks. “There are fresh costumes and a totally different stage design that’s let us be really creative, and I think it’s going to be a pleasant surprise for everyone.”

ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS)

You collaborate with Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews on the song “Warmer in the Winter.”

What was that like?

I was really excited to get him

on the album because I’ve never really collaborated with another instrumentalist before. That was fun for me, to get to work with this virtuoso trombone player.

I kind of gave him free rein — I was like, “Here’s the song, here’s the space for the solo, play whatever you want.”

You’ve collaborated with so many interesting people: John Legend, Pentatonix and Lzzy Hale, just to name a few. Who’s your dream person to work with?

It surprises people when I say this, but it’s John Williams. I think he’s the most iconic composer ever; his music tells stories so well. If I could write with anyone, it would be him.

You do so much when you’re onstage, dancing and playing your violin at the same time.

How do you practice?

I practice a lot when I’m preparing for a tour — with the dancers and the band, but also, there’s nothing like practicing by yourself. That’s where I get the most done. Because when I make a

CARA ROBBINS

Why did you want to make a Christmas album, and is it challenging to record songs that people know so well and have strong feelings about?

I love Christmas music so much, and there are all these songs that take me right back to very specific memories. It’s almost like they’re time capsules. And I thought, how cool is that, that I can make a Christmas album and possibly become a part of other people’s traditions and be a little time capsule of their memories. The challenge is, how do I stay true to it and not mess up everyone’s favorite Christmas song — but at the same time, make it something new and make it feel like me? That was a really fun challenge, and I feel like it’s something I’m good at. I get nervous writing from scratch, but arranging and making renditions — I’m like, “Oh, I love this. I could do this in my sleep.”

mistake, I can stop and correct it, and that’s what I learned as a musician growing up: If you play through mistakes, you don’t learn from them. It’s really hard to do because it takes so much discipline to sit there for hours by yourself, but I’ve done it my whole life.

Is your Chihuahua, Luna, on tour with you again this year?

She is, and she’ll be coming out onstage again. I feel like her performance is slightly elevated this time. She’s with me right now and knows she’s being talked about.

[Note: Luna barked promptly on cue.]

Any exciting plans for 2019?

I’m starting to work on an album.

I’m tinkering around with some ideas right now, and I’ll be fully

digging in as soon as I get off the road. I think I’m going to make it a two-part EP, so it’s like chapter one and chapter two, and they’ll both come out separately. I’m also going to continue working on a Broadway musical that I’m writing, and I’m really excited about that.

Murphy’s law keeps the characters on their toes in the farcical “The Play That Goes Wrong.”

Blunders never cease

‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a farce, but sometimes things really do go wrong

STAGE It was beauty killed the beast, as the saying goes — though a haphazardly attached flight rig nearly did the trick once.

Peyton Crim was playing the titular brute in a small but ambitious production of “Beauty and the Beast” in 2016, at a theater in the American heartland that he’d rather not identify. To punctuate the show’s climactic moment, in which the cursed Beast is restored to his human form, Crim had to quickly change costumes behind a veil of smoke,

then connect to a flight rig and soar out of the haze to reveal his princely appearance.

“Some poor stagehand in the wings didn’t notice that I wasn’t ready and started hoisting me up when I was only halfway attached,” Crim recalls. “I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, but no one could hear me over the music. You see all of this smoke filling the stage and then me slowing rising out of it, spinning on my side like I’m breakdancing in midair.”

It was a fortuitous experience

for Crim, who nowadays is in the business of onstage mishaps as an actor in the touring production of “The Play That Goes Wrong.”

An intentionally calamitous display of theater meta-humor, the West End and Broadway hit kicks off a three-week run at the Kennedy Center on Tuesday.

“The Play That Goes Wrong” depicts a deadly serious U.K. university production of a 1920sset mystery titled “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” But the play-within-a-play’s cast and crew, as Crim says, have “bit

off more than they can chew.”

Actors forget lines. Props are misplaced. And the set starts to come apart at the seams. All the while, the actors forge forward, ever committed to the show.

“The old adage [is if you want to] play drunk, play a very, very sober person,” Crim says. “Part of the fun is really bearing down on the murder mystery, in spite of what’s happening around you.”

While the blunders in this play are carefully choreographed, anyone who’s ever helped put

on a show knows that onstage gaffes are very real. That raises some questions: Does anything ever go wrong during “The Play That Goes Wrong” — and do the cast members get away with it?

“Every single show,” Crim says. “We have the world’s greatest safety net with this show. We can actually forget lines, or stuff won’t happen, and the audience has no idea.”

Alex Brightman After two years appearing in the same show — as Brightman did from 2008 to 2010 in “Wicked” on Broadway — “you start to feel the rhythm of the show in your bones,” he says. “But sometimes, your bones are wrong.”

Toward the end of Act 1 of “Wicked,” Brightman’s character, the munchkin Boq, enters for a scene in which he comes to a startling realization and runs offstage in distress. One night, Brightman blanked. Before that scene, he went upstairs to his dressing room and began to take off his costume. “All of a sudden, I hear a cue that sounds remarkably similar to one of my cues,” Brightman says. “My heart leaps out of my ass and I start running out the door. I grab anything that’s on the clothing rack and start putting it on.” Brightman made it onstage just a few seconds late. Then he processed what he was wearing: His Act 2 jacket, the wrong hat and, most notably, no pants. “The entire cast is losing it watching me run — with no pants on — across the entire length of the Gershwin Theatre stage,” he says. “I figured my career would be over, but everyone was very kind and comforting. And the audience got a show that has literally never happened before or since.”

Brightman appeared in “Beetlejuice” this past fall at the National Theatre.

“This led to the entire audience of children yelling ‘liar!’ at me.”

“I got business cards from three different lawyers that had been in the audience.”

Marc Warzecha No one can question Warzecha’s devotion to the saying “the show must go on.” That matter was settled on a Detroit stage back in 1999, when he played Mick Jagger for a sketch in the Second City revue “Daimlers Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” “There was a moment where I was supposed to leap, as Mick Jagger, off of the stage out into the aisle of the audience, and I did it with great enthusiasm,” Warzecha says.

“So much enthusiasm that I got a little too much height, landed and tore my ACL.” After being dragged backstage by his castmates, Warzecha did what any sensible performer would do: wrap his knee in duct tape and soldier on with the second act. “Afterward, I got business cards from three different lawyers that had been in the audience,” he says, “and one physical therapist.”

Warzecha co-wrote “Love, Factually,” running through Dec. 31 at the Kennedy Center.

“I didn’t even know what a mung bean was until after the fact.”

Stephen DeRosa

Young audience members can have trouble separating character from performer.

Heffernan learned as much in 2008, when she played the villain Gothel for a Toronto production of “Rapunzel.” In that take on the tale, Gothel comes to see the error of her ways and apologizes to Rapunzel for her misdeeds. But during a matinee, one young attendee wasn’t buying the repentance.

“An audience member, no more than 6 years old, stood up and yelled ‘liar!’ ” Heffernan says. “This led to the entire audience of children yelling ‘liar!’ at me for the remainder of the show and well into the curtain call. I loved every second of it.”

The recurring nightmare is familiar to many an actor: You step onstage, but the lines have escaped you.

It’s called “going up,” and it happened to DeRosa last year when he played Charles Guiteau, the man who killed President James Garfield, in a production of “Assassins” at the Yale Repertory Theatre. In a moment like that, a creative ad-lib can be an actor’s saving grace. “In his first speech, [Guiteau] lists his many professions,” DeRosa says. “I went blank and made up the professions of ‘teacher of the dance’ and ‘mung bean maker’ before I found my way back to the script. I have no idea how those professions came into my head.

I didn’t even know what a mung bean was until after the fact.”

Heffernan is directing “She the People,” running through Jan. 6 at Woolly Mammoth Theatre.

DeRosa is appearing in “Anything Goes,” running through Dec. 23 at Arena Stage.

JUDY COLLINS "Holidays & Hits"

With decades under his belt as a prolific actor of stage and screen, Raider-Wexler, 74, has seen it all. Pinpointing the most memorable theater gaffe of his career, he turns to an amateur production he performed in some six decades ago, in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio. The play was “A Murder Has Been Arranged,” and the scene in question saw an actor smash a glass against a table while another performer, playing a dead woman, lay onstage a few feet away. Due to a miscommunication, however, the shatterable prop glass was replaced one night with an unbreakable one. “He threw the unbreakable glass down, and it bounced,” RaiderWexler says. “And it bounced right under the skirt of the dead-bodied woman, who then sat up and went, ‘Oh!’ It brought down the house.”

“Gin, then!”

Kimberly Gilbert Gilbert witnessed a nearcatastrophe in 2006, while appearing in Woolly Mammoth‘s production of “Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis.” During the play, which featured a cart full of faux alcoholic beverages, David Bryan Jackson’s character had to pour a glass of a fruity cocktail — called a “Catastrophe” — for Sarah Marshall’s Martha to guzzle down. One day, as Gilbert watched that scene unfold while waiting for her cue to enter, she noticed that the glass pitcher containing the drink had cracked and was starting to drain. “I see the red liquid in the Catastrophe pitcher slowly go down, go down, go down,” Gilbert says. “[Jackson] turns around and he sees that there’s no more Catastrophe in the pitcher and, bless his heart, he just freezes and goes, ‘Gin, then!’ So he hands [Marshall] a full glass of gin. She, just as a consummate professional, gives this take out to the audience, take back to him, licks her lips and takes a big ol’ swig and goes, ‘Ugh!’ ” Gilbert is appearing in “The Panties, The Partner and The Profit,” running through Jan. 6 at the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Just like the Christmas song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Friendly Beasts,â&#x20AC;? this holiday family opera focuses on the animals in the Nativity story. In this tale, a young angel ponders which animal should lead Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, and a unicorn, flamingo and humble donkey are all in the running.

The Washington National Opera originally premiered composer Jeanine Tesoriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opera, which is based on an award-winning childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, in 2013. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cast includes members of the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program and the WNO Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorus.

Thu. Before the Dave Matthews Band released its ninth studio album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;? in June, longtime violinist Boyd Tinsley left the group and was replaced by keyboardist Buddy Strong. Things seem to be working out, as the group is in the midst of a rare fall tour, which brings Matthews and Co. back to D.C. proper for the first time since 2010. As with any DMB show, expect a set full of songs from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lengthy career, extended solos and a cover or two.

One could say that D.C.-area native Oddisee is a product of his environment. The rapper has never been skittish about expressing his political views and fervent social activism through his stream-of-conscious rhymes. After performing at U Street Music Hall as part of the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth birthday celebration in March, Oddisee returns for another hometown performance with his full band, Good Compny, on an even grander stage: the Kennedy Center. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phonte and Berlin-based Olivier St. Louis were hand-picked by the rapper to open the show.

Cat Power 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Sun., 7 p.m., $40.

Throughout her career, singersongwriter Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) has been candid about her struggles with substance abuse and mental illness, and you can hear the anguish in her melancholic folk rock.

But when “Wanderer,” her first studio album in six years, was released in October, it introduced the world to a calmer, more self-assured version of the performer (and to her spot-on cover of Rihanna’s “Stay”).

Following the out-of-this-world success of “Star Wars” in 1977, the first official spinoff appeared a year later in the form of a TV special. The rambling plot concerns the main characters helping Chewbacca return to his home planet for “Life Day” and features bizarre side characters (including one played by Bea Arthur), a Boba Fett cartoon and a performance by Jefferson Starship. How terrible is it? Carrie Fisher, who reprised her role as Princess Leia, once said that she asked George Lucas for a copy so she could play it at parties to signal it was time to leave. Still, “Star Wars” fans will likely line up early to get a seat for a screening at this cozy Mount Pleasant theater. Suns Cinema, 3107 Mount Pleasant St. NW; Wed., 8 p.m., free.

Ras Nebyu: One of the most illuminating moments on Ras Nebyu’s bright new album, “Uptown Lion Walkin,” takes shape in a concise metaphysical brag: “Third eye seeing better.” The D.C. rapper has always sounded alive and alert, but nowadays, his hi-def visions of a gentrified city feel like little flashes of omnipotence. While his third eye has a lot to do with it, so do his own two feet. The 27-year-old often composes rhymes while strolling the city’s streets. Sunday, he’ll be at home at Songbyrd Music House.

Not-so-open mics: Sexism in stand-up is alive and well Several years ago, I performed a guest spot as I was trying to get back into standup. After my set, the headliner took the stage — and spent several minutes talking about my appearance and making graphic, sexual comments. Not wanting to irk the booker by heckling, I felt powerless as I sat silently next to the friends who had come out to see me, vacillating between fury and embarrassment.

It all made me question whether doing comedy was worth putting up with garbage men. I decided that I can’t let the trash win. Thankfully, that experience stands as an anomaly in my stand-up career.

Most of my male peers have been supportive and treated me with the respect afforded any other comic. And there are so many talented female comedians with diverse points of view that it’s hard not to be inspired.

Still, many women who perform stand-up have stories similar to mine. Although “Mrs. Maisel” is “set in a different time era, it’s still prevalent today, some of these things,” comic Holly Lynnea says.

A performer’s experience can vary depending on the scene, city or even club.

Sometimes when comedian

Study: Movies led by women perform better

AMAZON VIA AP

Becoming a stand-up comedian means constant indignity. I should know, because I’ve gone through it. There’s the waiting around to perform for five people at a sad bar.

Showing up repeatedly to open mics to prove yourself. The inevitable bombing.

Midge Maisel goes through a lot of that, plus sexism, in Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” which follows her journey from 1950s Upper West Side housewife to stand-up comic. (Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos owns Express.)

In the second episode of Season 2, released last week, Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) gets booked on a show, and her fellow performers — all men — can’t stop commenting on her gender and looks. Some suggest her big break must have been because she slept with a much more famous comedian. They also insult her during their own sets.

Things have dramatically improved since Midge’s ’50s world. A woman doing standup isn’t the rarity it once was.

And yet, watching Midge face all that chauvinism didn’t feel entirely foreign to me.

The 1950s sexism faced by Rachel Brosnahan’s title character in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is all too familiar to modern female comedians.

Mia Jackson is on the road, “especially if I headline somewhere, they’ll go, ‘Well you’re a woman, you’re headlining, so we’ll make the host a male comic and we’ll make the feature a male comic, because we don’t want anybody to feel too overwhelmed,’ ” she says.

“You’re like, really?”

Many of the comics I spoke to, though, say they haven’t experienced this kind of treatment as much recently. Maybe there’s increased cultural awareness. Maybe they’re just

more seasoned performers and afforded the respect that comes with that. Whatever the reason, it turns out all of those little jabs haven’t been enough to stop them from doing what they love.

“Things bother me, but it hasn’t affected my overall experience in comedy, and I love my life,” stand-up Liza Treyger says. “I don’t want to do anything else.”

Pratt, Louis-Dreyfus join Pixar’s latest

Chris Pratt, Julia LouisDreyfus, Tom Holland and Octavia Spencer will star in the Pixar Animation film “Onward,” Disney announced Wednesday. “Monsters University” filmmaker Dan Scanlon will direct the movie, which will focus on two teenage elf brothers embarking on a quest through a world that blends the fantasy genre with everyday life. “Onward” is set for a March 6, 2020, release. (EXPRESS) Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Werner Herzog join cast of “Star Wars” streaming series “The Mandalorian”

FILM A study that analyzed four years’ worth of films found that female-led movies have consistently outperformed those in which men get top billing.

Conducted by talent agency Creative Artists Agency and tech company shift7, the study found that films that passed the Bechdel test do better, too.

The Bechdel test, an invention credited to cartoonist Alison Bechdel, rates whether a movie features two female characters having a conversation about something other than a man.

Researchers found that every $1 billion film at the box office — including movies like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and ‘’Jurassic World” — passed the Bechdel test. Among films that cost more than $100 million to make, the ones that passed the Bechdel test grossed on average $618 million worldwide, while those that didn’t averaged $413 million.

Of the 350 films studied, 105 qualified as female-led and 245 registered as male-led. In movies with a budget greater than $100 million, there were 75 male-led films and 19 female-led films.

“Women comprise half the box office, yet there has been an assumption in the industry that female-led films led were generally less successful,” CAA agent Christy Haubegger, who participated in the research, said in a statement. “We found that the data does not support that assumption.” JAKE COYLE (AP)

‘A Star Is Born’ still rising The acclaimed drama leads the SAG Awards with four nominations FILM “A Star Is Born” led nominations for the 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday with four nods, including best ensemble, firmly establishing Bradley Cooper’s romantic revival as this year’s Academy Awards front runner.

In nominations announced in West Hollywood, Calif., the actors guild elevated the Oscar

campaigns of numerous contenders. But “A Star Is Born” fared the best of all, landing nominations for Cooper (best male actor), Lady Gaga (best female actor) and Sam Elliott (best supporting male actor).

The other nominees for the group’s top award, best ensemble, were “Black Panther,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “BlacKkKlansman” and “Crazy Rich Asians.”

“BlacKkKlansman” also scored nods for both John David Washington and Adam Driver.

“The Favourite” failed to crack best ensemble, but its three leads

— Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone — were all nominated. Emily Blunt scored two nominations: for her lead performance in “Mary Poppins Returns” and for her supporting role in “A Quiet Place.”

In the television categories, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Ozark” led with four nominations each. “Barry,” “GLOW,” “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “The Kominsky Method” trailed with three nods each.

The SAG Awards will be broadcast live Jan. 27 on TNT and TBS. JAKE COYLE (AP)

“It’s the outside of the bread so it’s the outsiders, obviously.” @ELLSBELLS412, contributing to an ongoing Twitter conversation about the proper name for the end piece of a loaf of bread. The discussion was sparked after @StephenMangan listed all the odd terms for it that he had heard; he added that only “heel” was correct. Contributions from other Twitter users included crust, topper, Charlie and even “booty bread.”

“I’ve been both ... both are exhausting and hard work and neither made me feel more or less of a mom!”

“Hearing Rachael Denhollander speaking up about Larry Nassar was easily the best and hardest part of this award show.”

A FACEBOOK COMMENTER, criticizing a chart from blogger

about Tuesday’s Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year awards, where Rachael Denhollander — the first woman to publicly accuse Larry Nassar of abuse — received the Inspiration of the Year award. Christine Blasey Ford introduced her via a video statement.

The Transformed Wife that implied stay-at-home moms are better than working moms. The chart listed opposing scenarios for the two paths, concluding that a working mom’s life is “falling apart,” while that of a stay-at-home mom is “fulfilling.” Another commenter called the list “insulting to any woman who has ever wrestled with this kind of decision.”

@DODGERS_RANDI, tweeting

“My God, black women and women of color did not do well with these SAG noms.

A mess.” @FILMFATALE_NYC, lamenting the nominations for the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards. White women dominated the list for female roles, leading many to wonder why actresses like Regina King and Yalitza Aparicio were snubbed.

The nominees for male roles were just slightly more diverse, with men of color snagging five out of 25 spots.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re in no mood to do things on your own today, but whom should you call to join you in your efforts?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may have to adjust your schedule to suit someone else’s immediate needs — which means getting someone else to adjust his or hers, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Observe the timeline that you have established for your current efforts.

You don’t want to do things out of sequence or at the wrong times.

no cause to make things difficult for those around you today; sometimes you’ll want to be courteous before being honest.

TODAY: High pressure helps us hold off a storm system over the southern Plains. That keeps us dry with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Light winds remain as highs reach the mid-40s. That high pressure continues tonight to hold off the system trying to approach from the southwest, leaving us mostly cloudy with lows in the 30s.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can avoid busywork today by committing yourself to a project that you and others take very seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Questions yield answers today, but not necessarily the ones that you anticipate or seek. You must be able to cope with the truth.

DATING

Pete starts his New Year’s resolution early

Think of all the pasta he’s missing out on Milo Ventimiglia admitted in an “Access” interview this week that he had trouble finding acting work after “Heroes” ended. “I couldn’t get hired in town.

I really couldn’t. That was back in the ‘Heroes’ days.

I did not work for one calendar year,” he said. The “This Is Us” star said that he would have moved to Italy and worked on a farm had he not gotten a role in the 2012 movie “Static.”

Pete Davidson was spotted by TMZ on Monday having dinner at New York restaurant Carbone with an unidentified woman. The sighting was one of the first times the “Saturday Night Live” cast member has been seen in public with another woman since his split from Ariana Grande in October. According to Entertainment Tonight, Davidson recently started dating again and even signed up for a dating app. “He wants a fresh start,” a source told the outlet. “He’s focusing on his self-happiness.” The news follows the comedian’s recent admission in an Instagram post that he’s faced bullying from internet trolls. (EXPRESS)

Gwen perfects her passive aggression

“Queer Eye’s” culinary expert Antoni Porowski posted an Instagram photo Tuesday showing him holding hands with his new beau, interior designer Trace Lehnhoff. “11 is my favorite prime number,” Porowski wrote. Lehnhoff appeared to confirm the romance by posting a photo the same day of the couple holding hands while enjoying an ocean view. (EXPRESS)

On Wednesday’s “Today” show, Gwen Stefani revealed that there’s “no pressure” for boyfriend Blake Shelton to propose, despite the fact that they’ve been dating for over three years. “I think we’re just trying to be in the moment as much as we can,” she said.

The couple started dating in 2015 after Stefani split with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale and Shelton split with ex-wife Miranda Lambert. (EXPRESS)
