Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s ascension to the papacy marks an extraordinary moment for American leadership on the world stage at a time when President Trump has transformed the country’s reputation abroad and fueled distrust among longtime allies.But while two Americans now sit in positions of enormous global influence, Pope Leo XIV may offer the world a different view of U.S. values from Mr. Trump’s America First approach, which he has executed through stiff tariffs, imperialist musings and vast cuts to foreign aid.When he was introduced to the world, the new pope — who speaks five languages and is a naturalized…

Dan Spilo, the manager-producer ousted from Industry Entertainment after incidents on the Australian set of action film Runner which led to his dismissal by clients Alan Ritchson and Kal Penn, has issued his first statement on recent events. “I take full responsibility for my actions and am stepping back from work to focus on my mental health,” he said. “During production, I was warned I was having a nervous breakdown, but I kept pushing through, which was a mistake. My behavior was unacceptable and unrecognizable to me and while there’s no excuse, I’m committed to understanding and addressing the personal…

Means’ nomination was announced on Wednesday after Trump withdrew his nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor whose résumé has been questioned in recent weeks.“Casey has impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.However, on Thursday when asked by a reporter why he chose Means, Trump admitted: “I don’t know her, I listened to…

It’s no secret that some people appear to age faster than others, especially after enduring stressful periods. But some scientists think a person’s physical appearance could reveal more about them than meets the eye — down to the health of their tissues and cells, a concept known as “biological age.”In a new study, published Thursday in The Lancet Digital Health, researchers trained artificial intelligence to estimate the biological ages of adults with cancer by analyzing photos of their faces. Study participants with younger estimates tended to fare better after treatment than those deemed older by A.I., researchers at Mass General…

President Trump’s trade war has created chaos for companies around the world, snarling supply chains, sowing uncertainty and muddling their ability to plan for the future.After announcing tariffs that started at 20 percent for nearly all imports from European Union members — and more on other countries — the president has scaled the rate to 10 percent until July, saying his administration will use the time to negotiate bilateral deals with America’s trading partners. At the same time, Mr. Trump has escalated a trade war with China, potentially squeezing European companies.We are a team of reporters who write about business…

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church on Thursday and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States. The decision from the 133 voting cardinals, which arrived in a plume of white smoke at the end of their second day of voting inside the secrecy of the Sistine Chapel, defied longstanding belief that church leaders would never select a pope from a global superpower that already has considerable influence in world affairs. Taking the name Pope Leo XIV, he shares Francis’ commitment to helping the poor and…

Scene: A patrol boat cruises through the water, just off a Caribbean island. Cue the pounding drums — a movie-trailer signal that danger approaches. Enter Spinosaurus. Three large, spiny sails slice through the deep blue sea and begin to circle the boat. The water roils. A worried passenger wonders what they are. Cut to another passenger who clings to the boat as it lurches. Suddenly, a spiny-sailed terror surges from the ocean, jaws snapping. That scene comes from the trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth. It’s set to appear in theaters this summer. The movie brings a controversial dinosaur — Spinosaurus…

Just like in the hallways of McKinley High, the Glee set featured a lot of flirtation and relationships between its young stars. (And even before the show, as Lea Michele revealed in her 2014 memoir Brunette Ambition that she and Matthew Morrison “actually dated back in for the day for a Broadway beat.”) Michele and Cory Monteith, whose characters were one of the show’s most iconic couples,” dated for several years before Monteith’s tragic death in 2013, while Blake Jenner and Melissa Benoist, who now stars on Supergirl, married in 2015 after meeting on the set in 2012 when they also…
