I mean who just disappears out of thin air?,” his sister, Jenny, told KTLA.His sisters say Emilio spent the last two decades in Southern California as a devout member of a church, His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, whose members worked at a pest control company, Fullshield Incorporated.Emilio Ghanem (Family photo)This past April, Emilio left both the ministry and Fullshield behind and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to reunite with family and begin a new chapter.“He was really happy.

Hollywood studios made its “last, best and final” offer to the actors union and after taking a weekend to review it, there seem to be key issues remaining.The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) said they and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) were still far apart on “essential” issues, including the use of AI in relation to actors.“Please know every member of our TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee is determined to secure the right deal and thereby bring this strike to an end responsibly,” SAG-AFTRA said in a statement Monday. “There are several essential items on which we still do not have an agreement, including AI. We will keep you informed as events unfold.”The actors have been on strike for more than 100 days, putting a freeze on major film and TV production associated with the AMPTP.On Oct. 10, Hollywood writers represented by the Writers Guild of Ameri...Nicholas Cooper Killed in Pedestrian Hit-and-Run Crash on State Route 395 [Lind, WA]

With online options extended to under-18 applicants, teens no longer have to go to a California DMV office to take the knowledge test.The online knowledge test, formerly available only to adults, can now be selected by teenagers filling out the online driver’s license application, the Department of Motor Vehicles said. The option has also been extended to people moving from out of state who need to take the test.The consent of a parent or guardian is required for online test interactions with an under-18 applicant. The test is proctored, so it requires a computer with a webcam — not a tablet or a phone — and it can only be taken between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.The test for under-18 applicants is 46 questions, and a passing score is 38 or better. An applicant is allowed three tries; anyone who fails the at-home test twice must go to a DMV office for the final try.Once the online application is filed and the test is passed, the applicant must go to a DMV office to...Donald Trump at least gets big hands in disputed courtroom sketch, quips Fox News host

It looks like the Trump family and their allies have learned something from Harvey Weinstein about how to put on the best defense possible in a high-profile court battle: Beg the courtroom sketch artist to make you look more attractive and, in Trump’s case, to give you “sizable hands.”The disgraced Hollywood mogul asked artist Jane Rosenberg to give him more hair as she covered his rape trial in 2020, and Donald Trump Jr. recently asked the same artist to “make me look sexy” at his family’s civil fraud trial, which is taking place in New York City, as Insider reported.Now, a Fox News host is urging former President Donald Trump to demand that a better sketch artist draw him as he appears at the trial, saying that the image produced Monday by artist Elizabeth Williams for the Associated Press, and disseminated to the media, was “a travesty.”The GOP's frontrunner for president was in court again today.(Sketch by Elizabeth Williams ...Oakland police officer shoots and kills person near City Hall

NAPA — On a damp and gray Friday at Bouchaine Vineyards, Rebecca Rosen looked up, noticed the handful of ravens circling above her and lobbed an insult.“Jerks!” she yelled.They flew together, swirling and squawking as she walked to the trunk of her Tesla Model S and pulled out the box.There, she hides her ammo: a 6-year-old Harris’ hawk named Rocky, a 17-year-old falcon named E.B. and a 4-year-old spectacled owl named Hootbert, whose only job is to perch himself on a chair and let some tipsy wine tasters snap a photo.Rocky is the real threat. Rosen pulled him out of the box, removed his hood and loosened his strap. Free at last, Rocky soared to the roof of the Bouchaine tasting room and perched high enough to scan the vineyard. His mere existence is enough to irritate the ravens.Armed with long legs, a wingspan of almost 4 feet and an air of unspeakable confidence, Rocky has an aura that demands respect. The raven family knows it; they met one of Rocky’s siblings just last wee...Latest news
