Kerzner’s journey to America has been a decadelong odyssey. The owner of splashy resorts in France and the Bahamas, he tried to crack the U.S. market in 1983, only to get chased out by a hail of anti-apartheid protests. But in the last few years Kerzner’s Sun International Hotels has, like many other South African companies since the end of white rule, roared onto the global investment scene. In late August, Kerzner announced he was buying Merv Griffin’s much-troubled Resorts Casino Hotel for some $350 million in debt and equity–and will spend hundreds of millions more on a brand-new complex....

For the next two weeks, some 200 marathon television viewers will be able to judge for themselves, as Gumbel assumes what is the pinnacle of TV sports gigs – solo prime-time host at the Olympics. When CBS Sports dumped its resident bigfoot, Brent Musburger, in 1990, the network vowed it would never again let one star dominate its programming. But in the four years Gumbel 47, has been at CBS, he has ascended to, if not No....

Everyone says you’re a lock for the Tony. I get very nervous, because like most people in show business I’m very superstitious. I’m old enough to know you must never, ever predict anything. “Macbeth” is supposed to be cursed. Do you have any lucky charms? I have my little routines. I always put my left boot on before my right boot, and I have a little mantra that I go through right before I go onstage....

Speaking on the Mehdi Hasan Show Tuesday, Fauci told MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan that he is “really quite agnostic” on whether or not the president should ignore the pressure from big pharma and release currently patented information on how to produce the vaccines—an act that Hasan notes would “help developing countries in particular.” Hasan pushed back against Fauci’s choice of words, saying, “How can you be agnostic, you’re the chief medical adviser?...

“No new wall has been built, none,” Scarborough pointed out during a segment of Morning Joe on Thursday. Prior to stating that fact, the host had played an analysis by Fox News anchor Shepard Smith detailing how under Trump, only existing parts of the southern barrier had been repaired. “In fact, the only thing that Donald Trump has done is he’s rebuilt 60 miles of Barack Obama’s wall, which really is not going to be that catchy of a chant in 2020,” Scarborough, who previously served as a Republican congressman but now identifies as an independent, quipped....

The comments, made by Scarborough during Monday morning’s Morning Joe broadcast, came amid reports that Trump was considering going to Moscow for a military parade next year. The president said Putin “invited” him to the event and that “it’s a very big deal.” “I would love to go if I could,” Trump told reporters outside the White House last week. But a major barrier, he said, would be the fact that he would be right in the middle of campaigning for the 2020 election....

The Morning Joe co-host tweeted, “Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24 hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men.” Scarborough insinuated that rich and powerful people are likely at ease considering Epstein’s death, calling the incident “predictably…Russian.” “A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian,” he tweeted, adding to a slew of conspiracy theories regarding Epstein’s death....

“President Trump, who has been stewing and vacationing at his personal club in Florida awaiting an impeachment trial for abusing his office by attempting to extort a foreign country to meddle in our next election, ordered from that private club in Florida a deadly military strike in Iraq yesterday, executing an act of war against Iran without congressional approval,” Hayes began. Hayes then broke the news that another airstrike had taken place north of Baghdad, intending to target Shiite militia leaders, killing six....

Oddly, this helicopter rescue turns out to be the most thrilling episode in the film. What’s strange is that we have no idea who these three minor characters–or their rescuers–are. It’s an indication of what has gone wrong with Petersen’s movie, which is at once spectacular and anemic. The discrepancy between the sophistication of the special effects and the rudimentary dramaturgy results in a $140 million film that may raise your blood pressure, but leaves the rest of you distinctly unengaged....

He’s also facing a felony charge for violating his probation for an offense from last year in which he set fire to a grassy street median. For that offense, he pleaded no contest to a felony charge of arson, and was sentenced to a year in jail.

“I drew them myself,” says the 75-year-old barber, Salah Abdelaziz Moussa. Confronted by an American journalist, his smile is weary but welcoming. He shows none of the fury poured onto the many taped-up pages, or that he often hears from customers. He offers tea. If there is war between Washington and Baghdad, the reporter wants to know, what then? Will the streets of Egypt and the rest of the Muslim world explode?...

Spears’ notable ad-lib made the rounds on social media on Monday, after a Twitter user resurfaced a video about scientists recreating a part of the voice belonging to the Egyptian priest Nesyamun, who was known for singing and chanting at the Karnak temple in Thebes. In the original CBS This Morning report, which aired back in January, the Nesyamun sound scientists were able to produce appeared to be a lot more like a scream; but folks on Twitter decided to have a little bit more fun with it by dubbing the recording with Spears’ voice....

Incumbent New Jersey Governor Murphy has held a lead over his rival Jack Ciattarelli, though the gap has been placed in the single digits. In the Virginia race, polls have shown the race to be tight, with one recently indicating McAuliffe had fallen slightly behind Glenn Youngkin. With the races tight—particularly in Virginia—any extra boost would prove welcome to the candidates. Ultimately, focus will mainly be on candidates’ campaigns when the race is over and results are assessed....

The male artist, Song Ta, created a multimedia exhibition that included photos and videos he took of women passing him on the street on a college campus in 2013 and compiled them into a seven-hour-long video in which he ranked them prettiest to ugliest, in his opinion. The exhibit resided at Shanghai’s OCT Contemporary Art Terminal, or OCAT, one of the most well-respected art museums in China. He had noted in the exhibit’s description: “If you want to see the campus queen, you have to go to the museum as early as possible....
