Andrew Cuomo said his behavior towards women had been "misinterpreted as unwanted flirtation" after allegations of sexual harassment had been made against him.  In a statement released on Sunday, Cuomo said he never inappropriately touched or propositioned anyone, but said he made jokes that he thought were funny, both in public and in private. "I have teased people about their personal lives, their relationships, about getting married or not getting married. I mean no offense and only attempt to add some levity and banter to what is a very serious business," he wrote.  Cuomo added: "I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended...

Warriors forward Draymond Green will not return to Sunday evening’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers after he exited with 4:15 remaining in the second quarter with a left ankle sprain. Green suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly after contesting a layup by Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Green tried to stay in the game, but appeared to be in pain and went to the locker room a few moments later. It’s unclear if this is a long-term concern for Green. The Warriors were trailing 73-44 at halftime when the decision was made that Green wouldn’t return. Green had six points on 3-for-5 shooting, one rebound and two assists in 13 minutes. Forward Juan Toscano-Anderson started at power forward in the second half. Green, who has missed five games with various lower-body injuries, is...

In the days leading up tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, reporting from the Los Angeles Times has brought attention to the lack of diversity within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that doles out the trophies. Among the 87 current members of the HFPA, which ostensibly represents the full international media covering film, including many countries with large Black populations, there is not a single Black member. That lack of diversity–along with questions of corruption within the HFPA’s nomination process–has been brought up particularly in regards to the absence of any Black-led film from this year’s best picture nominations. During their show-opening performance, hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey acknowledged the diversity issue with jokes. “The Hollywood Foreign Press

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., on Sunday talks about his “Country First” drive on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” | Screenshot“I’m not surprised by anything he said. I expected to be called out by name. I’m surprised it’s taken this long,” said Kinzinger. WASHINGTON — Making his first public speech since leaving office, ex-President Donald Trump on Sunday targeted for defeat leading Trump critic Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Republicans who voted to impeach Trump or convict him after his Senate trial. “Get rid of them all,” said Trump before an adoring crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in Orlando. Trump read off the names of the 10 House members, including Kinzinger, who voted to impeach him a second time plus Trump Senators who voted to convict him, including Mitt R

Perhaps the strangest thing about the 2021 Golden Globe Awards — which was a Golden Globes like no other before — was just how normal it all felt. Acceptance speeches delivered via streaming, a red carpet experience built mostly from social media posts, co-hosts located on different coasts, trophies delivered to winners at a later date, pre-show Zoom-style interviews from the stars’ own homes  — all these things that are so necessary for social distancing and safety protocol — didn’t seem that bizarre one year into the coronavirus pandemic. So welcome to the new normal for Award Show season, which the Golden Globes ushered in on Sunday night. Expect to see similar protocol, tactics and experiences when the trophies are handed out — in a no-contact fashion — at other biggie occasions to fol

No, the ad that appeared during a “60 Minutes” break Sunday wasn’t teasing the final season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” It was a first glimpse of Oprah Winfrey’s CBS interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, which airs next Sunday, March 7.

I AM READY!!! pic.twitter.com/TzMtGQPxiY — TV Fanatic (@TvKhaleesi) March 1, 2021 But like a reality TV show promo, the ad features dramatically-rising, news-documentary-like music with quick clips of the legendary talk-show host asking questions that strongly suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will spill some serious tea about their conflicts with royal life — and possibly even the royal family. “Were you silenced or were you silenced?” Winfrey asks Meghan, wit...

Credit: Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyHere is what a “virtual red carpet” adds up to: a lot of famous people in hotel rooms, or at home, looking very all dressed up with some place very close by to go. Lockdown means these celebrities are briefly like us, but unlike us awaiting an awards show, so—shrugs shoulders—what are you gonna do? Well, they damn well dressed up, and we got to enjoy seeing inside Colin Farrell’s living room. The best bit about the Golden Globes was the all the domestic peekaboo. At home or hotel, they could order room service or have family on hand with snacks, and not have to staple a smile on to their faces for hours on end. And yes, the Golden Globes demonstrated just how excruciating Zoom meetings could be—this time while competing for statuettes. a...

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the 78th annual Golden Globes on Sunday with a bicoastal opening duologue that got the show started and … not much more. With Fey live from the Rainbow Room in New York City and Poehler live on stage at the Beverly Hilton, the Globes longtime home, the distance did them few favors in terms of the jokes and jabs. “I’m here in New York City where indoor dining and outdoor muggings are back,” Fey cracked. “And I’m here in District 7 New Angeles, and this is the 78th annual Hunger Games,” Poehler joined in. Yeah, it was like that. There was a gag about how they were still as close as ever — Fey stretched out an arm and someone in L.A. stroked Poehler’s head. They made jokes about how much TV we’d all watched in the past year of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdow...

Detectives in Van Nuys tracked a man suspected of making and selling ghost guns to gang members and arrested him on Friday, serving a search warrant that yielded a cache of weapons and weapon manufacturing equipment. Los Angeles Police Department officials said they arrested 30-year-old Dalton Costahaude on Feb. 26, accusing him of one count of possessing an assault weapon and other weapons violations. According to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department booking records, Costahaude was arrested and booked in Van Nuys around the same time that LAPD raided a residence in the 1200 block of N. Sycamore Avenue, where they reported finding 13 illegal guns. Among the haul, detectives said they also found “several high-capacity rifle drum magazines” and “machines used for manufacturing ghost gun ...

NBCAppearing from opposite coasts at the first-ever socially-distanced Golden Globes, hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler still managed to pull off some solid jokes at Hollywood’s expense Sunday night. And they almost made it look like they were actually in the same room. “Tina and I are hosting from two different cities, but the technology is so great you will never tell the difference,” Poehler said, promising, “It will be smooth sailing.” “You won’t even notice,” Fey added, as she “stroked” her comedy partner’s face. “Oh, I have missed you, my love,” she said. “I always knew my career would end with me wandering around the Rainbow Room pretending to talk to Amy, I just thought it would be later.” at The Daily Beast.
