The FBI Warned That Lady Gaga’s $500,000 Reward for Her Dogs’ Return Would ‘Open Up a Pandora’s Box’
In February 2021, Lady Gaga made headlines for a reason not related to her music or acting career — her two French bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were stolen in a robbery. Gaga’s assistant, who was walking the dogs, was shot in the process.

Five years after the watershed #MeToo movement and two-and-a-half years since Harvey Weinstein was convicted of criminal sexual assault by a New York jury, the disgraced movie mogul is back in court, this time in Los Angeles, where a jury is expected to hear from a far more broad spectrum of accusers – and possibly Weinstein himself.
Weinstein arrived in court Monday by wheelchair, and showed some difficulty standing up as the jury pool of 67 men and women was introduced in court. Jury selection is expected to give way to opening statements sometime around Oct. 24.
Weinstein is already serving 23 years in a New York prison for criminal first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape, a conviction he has been granted the right to appeal, arguing that a juror and Judge James Burke was biased against him. Weinstein has maintained his innocence since the beginning, and has spent more than a year in...
