<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="300" data-total-count="429" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; text-align: justify; width: 570px;">
In his first extended action on “The Walking Dead,” Mr. Morgan shifted seamlessly between malevolence and mercurial charm, reveling in the character’s overblown mannerisms while keeping him grounded in a calculating intelligence. He is arguably the most electric presence the show has ever had.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="276" data-total-count="705" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; text-align: justify; width: 570px;">
Six seasons in, “The Walking Dead” had become repetitive in its cycles: This place looks safe … but wait! Rick is a hero! No, Rick is crazy! And so on. Mr. Morgan’s Negan has the potential to rejuvenate it. As the man himself noted: “It’s a brand new day, Rick.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="34" data-total-count="739" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; text-align: justify; width: 570px;">
Also, he killed Glenn and Abraham.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="516" data-total-count="1255" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; text-align: justify; width: 570px;">
As promised, the Season 7 premiere of “The Walking Dead” picked up where <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/arts/television/negan-the-walking-dead-season-6-finale-recap.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2FThe%20Walking%20Dead&action=click&contentCollection=Television&module=Collection&region=Marginalia&src=me&version=column&pgtype=article" style="color: #326891;" title="recap">it left off in April</a>, with Negan bashing an unfortunate member of Rick’s band of survivors. You’ll recall that a suspenseful eeny-meeny routine preceded the execution, which was shown from the victim’s perspective as VFX blood “dripped” down the screen. (In case you didn’t recall it, the season premiere spent the first 20 minutes rehashing it from different angles, the better to cram in a dozen or so ads before the reveal.)</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="305" data-total-count="1560" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; text-align: justify; width: 570px;">
The creators, including Robert Kirkman, the “Walking Dead” mastermind, and Scott M. Gimple, the showrunner, have spent the past few months insisting the cliffhanger move was <em>absolutely not</em> a cheesy bit of audience manipulation and instead served as crucial demarcation between two phases of the story.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established this day — June 14 — as Flag Day. Congress followed up in 1949 by enacting a statute that officially recognized Flag Day.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Flag Day, however, is not an official federal holiday. While the statute leaves it to the president’s discretion to proclaim its observance, every president since Wilson has done so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag of the United States, which occurred on this day in 1777 by means of a resolution adopted by the Second Continental Congress. It also marks the birthday of the U.S. Army; Congress authorized “the American Continental Army” on June 14, 1775.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday. New York designates the second Sunday in June as Flag Day and makes it a state holiday.</div>

Constellation Brands Inc. is exploring an initial public offering of some of its Canadian wine business, a move that would tilt the beverage company’s remaining brand portfolio even more heavily toward beer.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: TiemposTextWeb-Regular, Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.124px; margin-top: 1.25rem; text-align: justify;">
The evaluation is part of ongoing efforts to create value for shareholders and strengthen the company’s financial profile, Constellation said Wednesday in a statement. A final decision is expected to be made this year, the Victor, New York-based company said.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: TiemposTextWeb-Regular, Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.124px; margin-top: 1.25rem; text-align: justify;">
Splitting off any of its wine portfolio would make Constellation more reliant on beer, a division that it expanded in a major way with the 2013 acquisition of the Corona business in the U.S. and continued with last year’s $1 billion takeover of craft brewer Ballast Point. Constellation, which sells Robert Mondavi, Clos du Bois and Ruffino wines, said last year that it is Canada’s leading wine company. The company owns six of the nation’s top 25 table wine brands, with Jackson-Triggs as the highest-selling label and Inniskillin as the top icewine. Constellation said the enterprise posted strong results in its most recent fiscal year, which ran through February.</div>

“They feel like it’s not being recognized as part of their portfolio,” said Adam Fleck, an analyst at Morningstar Inc. “It fills a nice niche in the wine business, but a lot of the growth in the U.S. is from the premium, high-end portion of the market. If they can position their portfolio more towards that premium, high end, I think they can maybe drive a little better growth."</div>

In that spirit, Constellation said today it’s buying the Prisoner Wine Co., a maker of super luxury wines including the Saldo and Blindfold brands, for about $285 million. That deal is expected to close by the end of the month.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: TiemposTextWeb-Regular, Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.124px; margin-top: 1.25rem; text-align: justify;">
Constellation also on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter profit rose to $1.19 a share, excluding some items. That topped analysts’ $1.15 average projection. Earnings in the current fiscal year will increase to $6.05 to $6.35 a share, the company said. Analysts estimated $6.11, on average.</div>

The shares rose as much as 4.9 percent to $158.75 in New York. Constellation already had gained 6.3 percent this year through Tuesday.</div>

What did the Panama Papers say about David Cameron’s father?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Someone must have done Ctrl-F “Ian Cameron” on the 2.6 terabytes of leaked documents, and found what The Guardian had reported in 2012: that the Prime Minister’s late father was a founding director of an investment company called Blairmore Holdings, registered in Panama. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The leak of documents from Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm that included Blairmore Holdings among its clients, provided a little more information. Blairmore is actually based in the Bahamas, although its decisions seem to have been made by Ian Cameron and his associates in London. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4YEkoIFVd0EIJyjxo3Obejc-56-KQoAw-_XNNLDtZHpgwYz0l102xYUby2krJn1tNl2ggeufNrFLeVrDk0yh08mrXolACRoiCDvCzO9hTQiOLm3xPrL4gdKbkTqqq1Cc1lGde9nec0I/s1600/l_110475_035607_updates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4YEkoIFVd0EIJyjxo3Obejc-56-KQoAw-_XNNLDtZHpgwYz0l102xYUby2krJn1tNl2ggeufNrFLeVrDk0yh08mrXolACRoiCDvCzO9hTQiOLm3xPrL4gdKbkTqqq1Cc1lGde9nec0I/s640/l_110475_035607_updates.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Richard Brooks, a Private Eye journalist and former HMRC tax inspector, said: “If HMRC had seen the papers they would have had some very serious questions. The clear intention for Blairmore was to avoid becoming UK tax resident and the test for this, even in 2006, is the location of the central management and control.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, many of Blairmore’s customers were not British, and it was legitimate for their investments to grow free of tax, but for them to pay tax when they brought their money home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ian Cameron was paid £12,400 a year as a director of Blairmore, and presumably paid UK income tax on it. When he died in 2010, he left £2.7m in his will. David Cameron inherited £300,000, while his two sisters split the proceeds of a £1m Kensington mews house between them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What did David Cameron say?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In answer to a question from Faisal Ahmed, Sky News' political editor, after a speech about Europe on Tuesday, he said: “I own no shares. I have a salary as prime minister and I have some savings, which I get some interest from and I have a house, which we used to live in, which we now let out while we are living in Downing Street and that’s all I have. I have no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds, nothing like that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Journalists pointed out that he hadn’t fully answered the question, which was whether “you and your family” had “derived any benefit in the past” or “in the future” from Blairmore Holdings, and phoned 10 Downing Street for more information. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the Prime Minister’s press office put out a statement: “To be clear, the Prime Minister, his wife and their children do not benefit from any offshore funds. The Prime Minister owns no shares. As has been previously reported, Mrs Cameron owns a small number of shares connected to her father’s land, which she declares on her tax return.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, though, nothing about possible past or future benefits – for example as possible beneficiaries of a discretionary trust. So on Wednesday, a spokesman provided a further statement: “There are no offshore funds/trusts which the Prime Minister, Mrs Cameron or their children will benefit from in future.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, then, that leaves benefits from Blairmore in the past, but it is obvious that Mr Cameron benefited indirectly from his father’s business, given that it didn’t go broke. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Should I be outraged or not?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If Blairmore cheated the tax rules by pretending its decisions were made abroad, as Brooks suggests, it broke the law. But the evidence from the Panama papers is far from conclusive. It seems quite plausible that, as a sideline to his main job as a stockbroker, Ian Cameron merely took advantage of the lifting of exchange controls in 1979 to run an offshore investment fund, and that he did so entirely within the law. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Naturally, if you think that controls on global capital are desirable and possible, you might think that investment funds such as Blairmore should be shut down (Blairmore itself moved its registration to Ireland in 2012, after Ian Cameron’s death, and is now regulated under EU law). But it would be just as unfair to blame David Cameron for his father’s business choices as it was to hold Ralph Miliband’s Marxist beliefs against Ed Miliband. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hullabaloo over the Prime Minister’s incomplete disclosures feels a little synthetic. Obviously the wording of his first answer to Faisal Islam was imperfect, and it took two attempts by his press office to cover all the hares that had been set running. But it got there in the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have ended up where we usually do after furores of this kind, which is with the demand that politicians should publish their tax returns. The politics of the London mayoralty election in 2012 meant that candidates for that office are now expected to publish – which is why we know about Zac Goldsmith’s fluctuating trust income. At the time, Mr Miliband, Mr Cameron and George Osborne all agreed to publish their tax returns, but somehow never got round to it. If that’s what you want, sign a petition, but be aware that it would make it less and less likely that normal people would ever want to go into public service.</div>

Jackson married Wissam Al Mana in 2012. It is her third marriage. She married singer James DeBarge in 1984, when she was 18. That marriage lasted three months. In 1991, she married Rene Elizondo Jr. They separated in 1999.</div>

On Dec. 24, Jackson announced she was postponing her Unbreakable tour until the spring to have <strong><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/janet-jackson-postpones-tour-1.3380742" style="color: #115278; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">an unspecified surgical procedure</a></strong>.

Two weeks later, Jackson announced rescheduled tour dates after she took some time to recover from the surgical procedure. The singer again offered no details on her medical condition, but<strong><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/janet-jackson-not-cancer-1.3393332" style="color: #115278; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">denied viral rumours that she had cancer</a></strong>.</div>

Jackson said at the time the North American leg of her Unbreakable tour would resume May 14 in Las Vegas. Rescheduled shows were also to include dates in Portland, Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, Washington, New York, Philadelphia and more. Live Nation had said tickets for previously announced dates would be honoured at rescheduled shows.</div>

Halliburton: ValueAct Really Is The Mullet</h1>

<div class="p p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
The proposed merger between Halliburton (NYSE:<a href="http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HAL" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #024999; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Halliburton Company">HAL</a>) and Baker Hughes (NYSE:<a href="http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BHI" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #024999; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Baker Hughes Inc.">BHI</a>) has received a lot of scrutiny over the past several months. Now the DOJ has added ValueAct Capital to the soap opera, suing the hedge fund for an <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-sues-valueact-over-halliburton-174331511.html" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #024999; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">antitrust violation</a>:</div>
<blockquote class="p p1" itemprop="citation" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal; margin: 23px 0px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
The lawsuit centers on a 40-year old U.S. law that exempts investors who buy up to 10 percent of a company's voting securities from disclosing purchases made only for passive investment purposes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
The Department of Justice alleges that ValueAct was an active investor from the time it started to build its position in both companies shortly after the November 2014 merger agreement, and that the hedge fund violated the law - known as the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act - by waiting too long to disclose its intentions ...</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
The lawsuit said ValueAct used its access to senior Halliburton and Baker Hughes executives to formulate the merger and other strategies. The government is seeking a civil penalty of at least $19 million - a penalty it deemed "significant."</div>

<br />
This has to be the oddest antitrust lawsuits I have ever seen. I have been pessimistic on the merger, and predicted that both BHI and HAL would plummet once the deal was not approved. In October I questioned whether ValueAct was providing <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/3579956-baker-hughes-valueact-providing-mullet-money" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #024999; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">mullet money</a>, or "dumb money" with its investment in BHI. Even I could not have foreseen that the hedge fund would have failed to disclose major stakes in both companies, as the DOJ has claimed.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first modern Olympic Games, which started 120 years ago today and are honored in a Google Doodle, included something more commonly associated with entitled children than ancient Greeks: a participation trophy. All 250 participants went home with a bronze medal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's not the only way the first modern Olympics, which revived a 1,500-year-old ancient Greek tradition, differed from today's glitzy, highly produced, occasionally corruption-soaked spectacle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although the first modern Olympics were unrecognizable in many ways — there were no women, no national teams, and only nine sporting events — the story of the runup to the first modern Olympics sounds awfully familiar: The host country was in political turmoil, and hosting the event turned out to be much, much more expensive than anyone had anticipated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And just like today, some of the athletes had some incredible stories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">American athletes dominated the competition</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1896, the American participants were a thrown-together group. There were no trials, very little time to prepare, and a team chosen based on, essentially, who could afford to get there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first American Olympians were 14 men, mostly from the Boston area and from Princeton. The mother of one of the Princeton athletes paid for their travel. Two athletes had to drop out of Harvard in order to compete, because they weren't given permission to miss class in order for the Olympics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the Americans ended up dominating the competition, winning 11 first-place honors — which were silver medals, because gold medals wouldn't be given out for another eight years. The Greeks had the second most victories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Athletes competed in 43 events in nine sports: swimming, gymnastics, track, cycling, wrestling, weightlifting, fencing, shooting, and tennis</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Robert Garrett, who won the discus event, had never used a real discus until he started participating in the competition. He'd had a blacksmith make him a practice version based on ancient Greek records; it turned out to be a foot wide and 30 pounds in weight, making it impossible to throw and more than 25 pounds heavier than the real thing.</span></div>

Sure, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, and Billy Gibbons did a great job with their rendition of “Tush”, but there was a lot more experimentation with new genres and artists that typically exist outside of country than the show has featured in the past. Dolly Parton performed with Katy Perry, Eric Church had everybody from David Bowie to Lemmy playing in the background for his set, and winners Little Big Town brought out jazz favorite Trombone Shorty to bring some swing to their staging of “Stay All Night”, all of which made for a spectacular program.</span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">WrestleMania 32 came to its conclusion late Sunday night after a nearly five-hour show that included plenty of surprises and a new World Heavyweight Champion as challenger Roman Reigns took down Triple H to win the title in the show's main event.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
And now, a breakdown of each WrestleMania 32 match from the main card.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match</span> -- Zack Ryder def. Kevin Owens (c), Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sami Zayn, Stardust, Sin Cara: </strong>Ryder's victory was an absolute shocker to start off the evening. A title change would not have been a surprise, but most expected Ziggler or Zayn would go over in the match. Instead, it was Ryder who found himself alone atop the ladder. It will be interesting to see if this is part of a legitimate push by WWE or simply Ryder getting a WrestleMania moment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Chris Jericho def. A.J. Styles via pinfall: </strong>Jericho and Styles put on a solid match, and though it was assumed Jericho would put Styles over in a big match like he has so many other "new" superstars, it was actually Y2J who came out on top. With neither Zayn nor Styles getting a push, things looked like they might be pretty stale this evening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>League of Nations def. New Day via pinfall:</strong> Three matches and three confusing victories. New Day's tag titles were not on the line in a 4 vs. 3 handicap match, and while it made sense that the team with four (League of Nations) won, it was surprising to see the most "over" group in the company takes a clean loss like this.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley appear:</strong> Following the aforementioned match, entrance music hit for Foley, Michaels and then Austin. They soon went to the ring and, with some help from New Day, wiped the floor with League of Nations. Foley (mandible claw), Michaels (superkick) and Austin (stunner) each hit his finisher with Austin double-dipping by nailing an additional stunner on Xavier Woods. <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25541044/look-steve-austin-shawn-michaels-mick-foley-surprise-at-wrestlemania" style="color: #6e8dcf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Check out the highlights.</a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">No Holds Barred Street Fight</span> -- Brock Lesnar def. Dean Ambrose via pinfall:</strong> Lesnar looked like an absolute beast during the match, hitting 13 suplexes including his last in which he flung Ambrose onto a pile of chairs. Lesnar followed up with an F5 onto the same pile of chairs for the clean pinfall victory. Ambrose looked solid in the affair, but it absolutely made sense for Lesnar to get the win. It was a bit stunning, though, that Ambrose didn't get more near falls.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Women's Championship* Triple Threat Match</span> -- Charlotte (c) def. Becky Lynch (via submission) and Sasha Banks:</strong> An argument can be made that this was the match of the night (and I have no problem making said argument). The three ladies put together a tremendous performance with awesome near falls, great spots outside the ring and some interesting submission combinations. It was expected that Banks would go over with the victory (especially since she was led to the ring by her cousin, Snoop Dogg), but Charlotte retaining her title and continuing her dominance on the big stage was a solid move.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<em>* Before WrestleMania 32, it was announced that the Divas Championship was being retired for the return of the Women's Championship. The belt is fantastic and can be viewed in the live blog below.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hell in a Cell</span> -- The Undertaker def. Shane McMahon via pinfall:</strong> It looked like WrestleMania was about to derail as this match got underway with 51-year-old Taker and 46-year-old McMahon going through the motions. And then McMahon flew across the ring to hit a Van Terminator and clipped the cell wall with the two winding up outside the cage. There were some terrific bumps with ring barriers, monitors and a toolbox, and it looked like McMahon may have been poised for an upset ... <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25541107/watch-shane-mcmahon-leaps-from-top-of-hell-in-a-cell-at-wrestlemania" style="color: #6e8dcf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">especially when he climbed to the top of the 20-foot cell ... and then leapt off the structure</a>. Taker moved while placed on the table below, sending McMahon crashing to the ground in a moment for the ages. McMahon went as far as he could in the match, and he deserves major props for his performance. Fans, though, are certainly disappointed he won't be running Monday Night Raw going forward.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal</span> -- Baron Corbin wins:</strong> Originally a kickoff show match, the battle royal got slotted before the main event and included a number of interesting participants like Tatanka, NXT standout Baron Corbin ... <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25541119/watch-shaq-surprises-with-battle-royal-appearance-at-wrestlemania-32" style="color: #6e8dcf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">and Shaq. Though The Big Aristotle did not last long</a>, he definitely put smiles on faces in the crowd. The match did not last long, of course, and Corbin found himself face-to-face with Kane as the final two men in the ring. Corbin, unannounced for the match and making his WWE main roster debut at WrestleMania, knocked Kane out of the ring and took the victory.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>The Rock says ...</strong> Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had been billed as participating in an electrifying moment at WrestleMania, but when he took the stage with a flamethrower and was simply surrounded by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders until he hit the ring to announce that WrestleMania 32 had set an attendance record, it appeared as if we were headed for a disappointing showing. That's when The Wyatt Family's music hit. Following some verbal sparring, The Rock said he was going to fight in a match then and now, and Wyatt threw Erick Rowan in the ring.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<strong>The Rock def. Erick Rowan via pinfall:</strong> The second the bell rang, The Rock hit his finisher, the Rock Bottom, and pinned Rowan in six seconds flat, setting a WrestleMania record. The Wyatt Family then surrounded the ring until ...</div>

<strong>John Cena returns:</strong> Cena's music hit and he ran his way into the ring just months after shoulder surgery. Cena and The Rock teamed up to clear the ring of the Wyatts, and though there was ample chance for a heel turn by Cena, it never happened. Instead, The Rock and Cena celebrated with the crowd and walked off to cheers. <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25541138/watch-john-cena-returns-to-help-the-rock-at-wrestlemania-32" style="color: #6e8dcf; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Watch the return and read more here.</a></div>

<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">World Heavyweight Championship</span> -- Roman Reigns def. Triple H (c) via pinfall:</strong> Triple H came out to the ring in an over-the-top entrance with his wife, Stephanie McMahon by his side. Reigns was booed before his music even hit, and the jeers continued throughout the match. There were near falls and submission attempts by Triple H, who had the upper hand most of the time, but the tide turned when Stephanie McMahon entered the ring. Reigns had set up Triple H for a spear, but he moved out of the way and Reigns nailed McMahon in a stunning moment. Triple H hit the pedigree and got a two-count, so he grabbed a sledgehammer to finish the job. But Reigns avoided the sledgehammer, countered with a spear and earned the pinfall victory to become the new champion.</div>

The tremendous women's triple threat match and Shane McMahon's Van Terminator and dive off the cage definitely stand out, but really, a large part of the show seemed to be WWE trying too hard. WrestleMania 31 a year ago had a relatively weak build but over-delivered in a major way; in fact, you could argue it was an exceptional event. Similarly, WrestleMania 32 was not built as a strong show (in large part due to a rash of injuries), but the booking almost tried too hard to make up for that fact with Foley, Michaels, Austin, The Rock, John Cena and even Shaq involved in the ring. None of those moments stood out the way DeGeneration X and nWo hitting the ring last year did. </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;"><strong>Grade: C</strong></em></div>

There was that two-parter from the governor's point of view in season four, and the way the show seemed to think viewers just loved Merle, Daryl's racist older brother, in season three. Season five's murder hospital was pretty dumb, and, of course, Herschel's farm was a disaster that nearly tanked the entire second season of the show.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Did Kehlani just confirm that PARTYNEXTDOOR is definitely still in her life?! The singer shared a photo from her hospital bed after attempting suicide amid claims she cheated on Kyrie Irving with her ex…but it appears to be PND by her side and <em style="font-size: 19.0019px;">not</em> the Cleveland Cavaliers star who she’s claiming ‘saved her life.’ What?!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="font-size: 14.0014px;">Kehlani</strong>, 20, is not in a good place right after her ex, <strong style="font-size: 14.0014px;">PARTYNEXTDOOR, </strong>alleged she cheated on new boyfriend <strong style="font-size: 14.0014px;">Kyrie Irving</strong> with him. But after the singer’s terrifying suicide attempt, it’s the rapper who’s by her hospital bedside, and Kehlani rebooted her deleted Instagram account to let fans know how important his presence is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although we can’t see PND’s face in the photo, the man resting his head on Kehlani’s hospital bedrail is wearing a beanie with the rapper’s initials on the brim. “thank you for saving my life, n***a,” the 20-year-old captioned the pic.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s unclear whether or not she means the rapper physically saved her when she attempted suicideearlier that day, but either way, her confirming that she’s spending time with PND is a big deal — after all, he’s the one who leaked the rumor that Kehlani was cheating on Kyrie by posting a photo of them holding hands in bed together. While it’s unclear when the pic was taken, fans immediately went into a craze, slamming Kehlani for being unfaithful, which is what led her to consider killing herself.

“Today I wanted to leave this earth,” she allegedly wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. “Being completely selfish for once. Never thought I’d get to such a low point. But.. Don’t believe the blogs you read.. No one was cheated on and I’m not a bad person… Everyone is hurt and everyone is in a place of misunderstanding.. But as of today, I had no single wish to see tomorrow.. But God saved me for a reason, and for that… I must be grateful.. Cuz I’m not in heaven right now for a reason..”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">Kehlani and PARTYNEXTDOOR have been in an on-off relationship for quite some time, so it’s not surprising that he would be with her during a time of distress and pain like this. However, the fact that she shared this photo of him on Instagram amid these crazy cheating allegations is pretty shocking! Does this mean Kyrie is out of the picture for good?</span></div>

His self-aware brand of comedy, which relentlessly mocked the artificial nature of show business, is credited with influencing other hit shows like Tina Fey's 30 Rock and Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm.</div>

A high point of Shandling's career was as Larry Sanders, the host of a fictional talk show which aired from 1992 to 1998.</div>

Celebrities frequently appeared on the programme and were playfully mocked by the character.</div>

"It's an extremely delicate process because no one wants to be made fun of," Shandling <a class="story-body__link-external" href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-garry-shandling-died-66-20160324-story.html" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(17, 103, 168, 0.298039); border-bottom-color: rgb(220, 220, 220); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">told The LA Times</a> in 1995.</div>

"I do not think this is a mean-spirited show in any way. There's a level of satire in which, if one gets it, then they're willing to play with that. This show allows an opportunity for some people to play themselves in a way that they haven't been able to do before."</div>

The show saw Shandling directly address the audience in a technique known as breaking the "fourth wall".</div>

The comedian also did not use a laugh track in the series - something that was seen as controversial at the time but has since become commonplace on sitcoms such as The Office, 30 Rock and Modern Family.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it came to singing Sia songs on Thursday's episode of American Idol, the show's male contestants found themselves fearful to attempt the high notes from the singers vocally difficult songs.
Fan favorite MacKenzie Bourg – who wowed with a version of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" earlier in the season – admitted her songs left him feeling out of his "comfort zone."
But after a mentoring session with Sia, Bourg wowed with a version of "Titanium" and fellow competitor Dalton Rapatoni took "Bird Set Free" up from the key he had originally planned to sing it in.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans anxiously awaited today’s reveal of the new trailer for this summer’s Marvel superhero battle royale, and when it finally arrived, boy did it deliver. Laying out a laundry list of mistakes and general destruction left in the wake of Captain America and other costumed do-gooders, the government decides to regulate them and control them. Iron Man, long plagued by fear and guilt about what the Avengers can and cannot accomplish, agrees to regulation. Captain America, now distrustful of government agencies due to Hydra’s infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. and unable to curtail his instinctive need to react and protect people against danger without getting government approval first, refuses regulation. The rest of the superheroes choose sides, and the fight is on. And if that weren’t all enough, Spider-Man shows up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Before I get into a longer discussion about it, take a look at the trailer for yourself!

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That, my friends, is one heckuva great trailer. While the first Captain America: Civil War trailer was primarily subtext and hints, it didn’t really establish what sets off an actual “war” between two groups of Avengers. Yes, yes, fans of the comics knew what it was about, but average mainstream viewers only have the general background that these characters have had some minor personality conflicts in the past yet managed to overcome them for the greater good of humanity, eventually all becoming good friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Something tips those scales, however, and just as it was important for Batman v Superman to firmly establish the basic foundations of the conflict between the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel, so too did Marvel need to give us more explanation of why a clearly major battle is raging between Captain America and Iron Man. Sure, lots of people will be happy to just show up and watch a good ol’ cage match between superheroes; but context goes a long way toward making us remember and invest more in the conflict, because we grasp the story around it..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first Captain America: Civil War trailer’s quick mention of Sokovia was unlikely to have served as clear and memorable enough a reference for most average viewers to infer that a conflict is arising over the collective outcomes of super-battles, and the references in that first trailer to Cap being viewed as a vigilante were likewise unclear given the circumstances and Cap’s status as a government agent most of the time anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This new trailer does a fantastic job of quickly putting the events of the previous MCU outings into a larger overarching perspective and narrative, stepping back to demonstrate that in each case, the heroes’ actions — however well-intentioned and regardless of the final outcome — consistently demonstrate either threats arising as a direct consequence of some hero’s (or group of heroes) previous actions (Loki’s invasion of Earth as retaliation for Thor defeating him in Asgard, Ultron’s rampage as a result of Tony and Bruce creating him in the first place, Cap causing S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers to crash into Washington, D.C., the Mandarin being created as part of a larger plan set in motion after Tony rejected Killian years earlier, and so on). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also needed to know a bit more about why Iron Man would seem so hellbent on ignoring Cap’s choice to trust Bucky (aka Winter Soldier). If Captain America says Bucky was brainwashed and controlled by Hydra — who had also infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. — it seems someone like Iron Man wouldn’t have much trouble understanding and even agreeing with Cap’s choice to defend Bucky and to be skeptical of the government trying to gain administrative control over every costumed hero. Now, however, we see multiple examples of Bucky’s violent nature and Iron Man’s personal encounters with it — Tony’s shock when Bucky actually tries to shoot him in the face, Tony’s rage when Bucky shoots War Machine out of the sky. So we more clearly understand Iron Man’s impatience with Captain America defending Bucky despite evidence Bucky is still far too dangerous and violent to operate without oversight.

Sportscaster Erin Andrews on Monday won a $55 million judgment against a stalker and the owner of a Nashville hotel where he recorded secret nude videos of her.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(32, 119, 182, 0.2); margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The judgement, announced by a jury in the late afternoon, is less than the $75 million Andrews sought from from the owner and operator of the Nashville Marriott and the stalker, Michael David Barrett, who has already served a prison sentence.</div>

Andrews' lawyers argued during a week-long trial that the hotel should have kept Barrett from finding out where she was staying, and from booking a room next to hers, while she was in town to cover a September 2008 college football game for ESPN. The hotel, the lawyers said, also should have alerted Andrews that someone had asked to sleep next door.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(32, 119, 182, 0.2); margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Barrett filmed Andrews by removing door peepholes and aiming a cell phone camera into her room.</div>

Andrews, who now works for Fox Sports and co-hosts "Dancing with the Stars," took the stand, tearfully describing the humiliation of knowing millions of people had watched the footage — and of being harassed online and in public.</div>

The hotel's owner, West End Hotel Partners, and former management company, Windsor Capital Group, argued that Barrett alone was responsible for the crimes. He has served more than two years in prison for secretly filming Andrews in Nashville and Columbus, Ohio. He testified via videotaped deposition.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(32, 119, 182, 0.2); margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The hotel lawyers also argued that Andrews' continued professional success showed she hasn't suffered severe and permanent damage.</div>

Kim Kardashian hit back at Bette Midler, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Piers Morgan on Monday night, after the trio dinged the reality star for posting a naked selfie.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
“Hey @BetteMidler I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes,” Kardashian wrote, adding the hashtag #justkidding. Kardashian also called out Midler for previously sending her a gift and “trying to be a fake friend.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 25.6px;">After Kardashian posted her nude photo to social media on Monday, Midler joked, “Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 25.6px;">Later in the day, </span><a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/07/kim-kardashian-naked-selfie-chloe-grace-moretz" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0177c2; line-height: 25.6px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Moretz also commented on the photo</a><span style="line-height: 25.6px;">, tagging Kardashian directly in a pair of tweets. “I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,” she wrote. Moretz, who also retweeted Midler’s joke, added, “There’s a huge difference in respecting the platform that you’re given as a celebrity and ‘slut shaming,’ something I never have done and would never do.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 25.6px;">“Let’s all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to Twitter, since no one knows who she is,” Kardashian wrote in response to the critique, before adding that Moretz’s recent </span><a href="http://www.nylon.com/articles/chloe-grace-moretz-december-january-cover-star" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0177c2; line-height: 25.6px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">NYLON</em> cover</a><span style="line-height: 25.6px;"> “is cute boo.”</span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Kardashian also took Morgan to task, after the television personality retweeted her photo with a reference to her husband Kanye West’s recent admission of <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/15/kanye-west-elaborates-money-struggles-new-tweets" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0177c2; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">debt problems</a>. “I know the old man’s $50 million in debt, Kim – but this is absurd,” Morgan wrote. “Want me to buy you some clothes?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
“Hey @piersmorgan never offer to buy a married woman clothes,” Kardashian wrote. “That’s on some Ashley Madison type sh–.” She added the hashtag #forresearch. (Kardashian mentioned West’s money comments herself, boasting at the beginning of her Twitter stream, “Sorry I’m late to the party guys I was busy cashing my $80 million video game check & transferring $53 million into our joint account.”)</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1.3rem; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Of the three, only Morgan responded to Kardashian’s missives. “Fairly sure @kanyewest just seized control of @KimKardashian’s phone,” he wrote. He also tagged Midler in a tweet, telling the actress that he “got this” and she should “relax.” (Morgan will apparently comment on Kardashian further in his Daily Mail column.)</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: , sans-serif; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: left;">Kardashian, meanwhile, closed out her comments out with another naked photo (</span><a href="https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/707089027657150470" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0177c2; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 25.6px; outline: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">featuring the hashtag #liberated</a><span style="font-family: , sans-serif; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: left;">). She later received a tip of the hat from sister Kylie Jenner for the posts. “Kim is a legend,” Jenner wrote.</span></div>
