Ewan McGregor won t soon forget his fashion turn as Halston
NEW YORK (AP) Imagine, if you will, a galaxy far, far away where the one-name fashion wonder Halston dresses Obi-Wan Kenobi in something fabulous from the swinging 70s.Ewan McGregor can. Sort of.McGregor is in the unique position of being the sole person on this planet anyway who might care, considering his dual roles as the Jedi master and the flamboyant designer, the latter the subject of a new Netflix miniseries and the former a Disney Star Wars installment that has the Scottish actor on set in Los Angeles.It would be much more comfortable, he told The Associated Press during a recent interview on Zoom. It would all be in cashmere, you know, none of that heavy blanket material stuff.Although Halston doesn t drop until Friday, it has already generated some heat for McGregor and director Daniel Minahan, both among the series executive producers with Ryan Murphy.Halston s niece, Lesley Frowick, along with other relatives, bashed Minahan s passion project Monday as frankly, garbage and inaccurate, having seen nothing more than a trailer. Frowick, by phone from California, said the family and the Halston Archives were not consulted. Minahan told AP he spoke to Halston s brother, Robert Frowick, in the late 90s while developing the project. Robert Frowick died in 2007 and his widow disputes her husband was consulted.I think everyone s entitled to their opinion. This is not a documentary. It s a dramatic series, Minahan said. And the people who knew Halston and were around him who have seen it have responded really well to it.In addition, award-winning Pose star Billy Porter, a fashion lover supreme, has questioned casting the straight McGregor in a gay role, noting gay actors rarely have equal access to straight parts.I felt that Ewan was the best person for the job, said Minahan, who is gay. I just can t imagine anyone else doing it. He was my No. 1 choice.For his part, McGregor rushing from interview to interview to promote the series while slinging his lightsaber once again said word that Frowick and another of Halston s six nieces were unhappy makes me sad.We were so meticulous, he said. Dan Minahan has been researching this, wanting to make this for more than 20 years, so it s a shame.Halston was a Midwesterner who revolutionized his industry with comfortable deconstructed gowns, washable Ultraseude shirt dresses and a minimalist, clean approach that redefined American fashion starting in the 1960s. He was known for making Jackie Kennedy s blue inaugural pillbox hat (he started as a milliner) and had a stable of beautiful muses and A-list friends, including Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli (played by Krysta Rodriguez), Babe Paley, Bianca Jagger and Andy Warhol.By the disco era, Halston was a regular at Studio 54, later designing costumes for the famed choreographer Martha Graham. His bright, sensual clothes, Minnelli has said, were clothes that danced with you.Halston lost the use of his trademarked name in a business deal that made him rich but left him at the mercy of a series of corporate overseers. Born Roy Halston Frowick in Des Moines, Iowa, he died in 1990 of AIDS-related complications at age 57, having left behind his New York world after his ouster from the company that bore his name. He fell into the embrace of family in Northern California, where he died in a San Francisco hospital.His decision to bring his aesthetic to the masses included making clothes for J.C. Penney and cranking out an onslaught of goods: luggage, carpet, uniforms for the Girl Scouts and Braniff Airways and an unforgettable first scent that came in a tear drop bottle designed by another member of his inner circle, Elsa Peretti. She became a jewelry designer for Tiffany & Co. (thanks to an introduction by Halston) and was one of his bevy of models dubbed the Halstonettes.The series is full of Halston snorting cocaine, Halston having sex with male hookers and call boys, and Halston spending lavishly. He had a penchant for decking out his mirrored Olympic Tower atelier in fresh orchids and flying in dinners from top New York restaurants to the retreat he rented from Warhol in Montauk.The biopic, based on the 1991 book Simply Halston by Steven Gaines, also delves into his own reinvention, from poor boy in Indiana (his large family moved a lot) to elegant, black turtleneck-clad workaholic with a short fuse.McGregor, as part of his preparation, learned to sew, whipping up botched baggy trousers with one pocket on the inside and one on the outside. He also had tea with Minnelli, though he promised to keep the details private.I just wanted her to know that he was in safe hands with me, McGregor said. You know, there s lots been said about Halston over the years and I wanted her to know that I respected her love for him and I respected their friendship. I couldn t imagine how deeply I felt her love for him until we had tea.Rodriguez, known for her work on stage and TV (she was Ana Vargas on NBC s Smash ), did her own singing in Halston. She didn t meet Minnelli and admits to nerves taking on the living legend for Netflix.Her resemblance to Minnelli, with her large round eyes, is uncanny.I definitely was nervous. I had to quit the voice that said what would Liza think or else I would never step foot on set, she said. I didn t reach out to her. I thought her and Ewan had a really special moment and I wanted to keep that, what they created together.McGregor, 50, may be back with the Force, but he said he won t soon forget Halston.I loved playing him so much, he said. I don t think there will be any Halston in Obi-Wan but there will be a little bit in me. I think he saw beauty everywhere.___Follow Leanne Italie on Twitter at http: twitter.com litalie
Company: Ex-Trump lawyer raiding nonprofit for personal use
Former Trump attorney and self-proclaimed Kraken releaser Sidney Powell has told prospective donors that her group, Defending the Republic, is a legal defense fund to protect the integrity of U.S. elections.But the company suing Powell over her baseless claims of a rigged presidential election says the true beneficiary of her social welfare organization is Powell herself.Dominion Voting Systems claims Powell has raided Defending the Republic s coffers to pay for personal legal expenses, citing her own remarks from a radio interview. The Denver-based voting technology vendor sued Powell and others who spread false claims that the company helped steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump.Now, Powell seeks to abuse the corporate forms she created for her law firm and fundraising website to hide funds that she raised through her defamatory campaign, shielding those funds from the very company that was harmed by the defamatory campaign, Dominion lawyers wrote in a May 5 court filing.The dispute shines a light on how Trump allies continue to support, spread and allegedly profit from lies about fraud in the 2020 election. Although the election is settled, and all major court challenges have been dismissed, Powell s legal defense fund continues to raise money, with help from conspiracy-minded supporters like QAnon adherents.Her group will receive a cut of proceeds from ticket sales for a Memorial Day weekend conference in Dallas called the For God & Country Patriot Roundup, the event s website says. Some leading purveyors of far-right conspiracy theories are headliners, including Powell, pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood and former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn.Event organizer John Sabal, known as QAnon John to followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, declined to explain the decision to financially support Powell s nonprofit, also known as DTR, but said the money isn t for her personal benefit.Powell didn t respond to interview requests. One of her attorneys, Howard Kleinhendler, said a malpractice carrier covers Powell s personal legal bills and her nonprofit has a proper corporate structure.She does not have unfettered control over its funds or how the funds are spent, Kleinhendler wrote in an email.Trump and his allies filed more than 50 lawsuits in multiple states over the election and lost at every turn. Powell and Rudy Giuliani were among the lawyers behind the cases claiming a conspiracy by Democrats, despite Republican state leaders, and Trump s own attorney general and other administration officials, publicly stating there was no major election fraud. Powell appeared with Giuliani at a press conference and made multiple TV appearances.But after Powell threatened to blow up Georgia with a biblical court filing, the Trump legal team distanced itself from her, saying she was not working on their behalf. She later made the comment on how she would release the Kraken, an apparent reference to the film Clash of the Titans in which Zeus gives the order to release the mythical sea monster.Tickets for the Dallas conference cost $500 for general admission and $1,000 for VIP passes. The event s website doesn t name other beneficiaries or specify how much money goes to Powell s nonprofit.Logan Strain, who co-hosts a podcast about QAnon and other conspiracy theories, said Powell has appeared on QAnon promoters YouTube channels and is viewed as a hero of the republic among QAnon followers. QAnon adherents believe Trump has been secretly fighting a cabal of deep state enemies, prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites.It wouldn t surprise Strain if Powell is trying to harness the movement as a fundraising source.There is a great deal of money to be made in promoting and catering to QAnon, he said.Records link other leading conspiracy theorists from Trump s orbit to Powell s nonprofit. Defending the Republic s chairman and CEO is former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, whose comments about the deep state led to his resignation from the company in 2019. Corporate filings in Florida and Texas have listed MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell, Powell, Wood, Flynn and Flynn s brother, Joseph, as the nonprofit s directors.To support its claim that Powell is using nonprofit money for her personal legal defense, Dominion cited her remarks during a Dec. 29 appearance on The Rush Limbaugh Show. Powell told the radio show s guest host that listeners could go to her website to donate to the nonprofit that is working to help defend all these cases and to defend me now that I m under a massive attack from the attorney general of Michigan and the city of Detroit and everything else.Michigan s governor, attorney general and secretary of state all Democrats have urged state bar officials in Texas and Michigan to permanently disbar Powell for ethical violations over election lawsuits.Meanwhile, Eric Coomer, Dominion s security director, has filed a separate defamation suit in Colorado against Powell, her law firm, Defending the Republic and others. Another voting technology firm, Smartmatic USA Corp., sued Powell in New York over her bogus election-fixing claims.Dominion sued Powell in federal court on Jan. 8, seeking over $1.3 billion in damages against her, her law firm and her fundraising website. The company claimed Powell treated Defending the Republic as her personal funds, redirecting them to the law firm she controls and dominates ... and raiding them to pay for her personal legal defense.Defending the Republic describes itself as a 501(c)4 nonprofit, but it isn t listed in an IRS database of tax-exempt organizations. It registered in February with Florida s Division of Corporations as a nonprofit formed for social welfare purposes.

Texas lawmakers approve abortion ban as early as 6 weeks
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Texas would ban abortions after as early as six weeks before many women even know they are pregnant and allow private citizens to enforce the rule through civil lawsuits against doctors and others under a measure given final approval by state lawmakers Thursday.The Senate vote sends the bill to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it into law. That would bring Texas in line with about a dozen other GOP-led states that have passed so-called heartbeat bills that have been mostly blocked by federal courts. The Texas measure is also likely to draw a swift legal challenge from abortion rights groups.The bill would ban abortions after the first detection of an embryonic heartbeat. Advanced technology can detect an electric signal flutter as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, even though the embryo isn t yet a fetus and doesn t have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus beginning in the 11th week of pregnancy, medical experts say.A unique provision in the Texas bill prohibits state officials from enforcing the ban. Instead, it allows anyone, even someone outside of Texas, to sue a doctor or anyone else who may have helped someone get an abortion after the time limit, and seek financial damages.The Texas Heartbeat Act is novel in approach, allowing for citizens to hold abortionists accountable through private lawsuits. No heartbeat law passed by another state has taken this strategy. Additionally, the bill does not punish women who obtain abortions, said Rebecca Parma, Texas Right to Life senior legislative associate.Critics say that provision would allow abortion opponents to flood the courts with lawsuits to harass doctors, patients, nurses, domestic violence counselors, a friend who drove a woman to a clinic, or even a parent who paid for a procedure.And they argue that it would violate state constitutional requirements that civil lawsuits can be filed only by impacted parties. Under the bill, a person filing the lawsuit would not need any personal connection to the abortion in question.The bill has been opposed by medical groups.Texas law currently bans abortion after 20 weeks, with exceptions for a woman with a life-threatening medical condition or if the fetus has a severe abnormality.Proponents of these so-called heartbeat bills are hoping for a legal challenge to eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where they look for the conservative coalition assembled under President Donald Trump to end the constitutional right to abortion protected under the high court s landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.

Marine Corps officer arrested for assault in Jan. 6 riot
An active duty Marine Corps officer seen on camera scuffling with a police officer and helping other members of the pro-Trump mob force their way into the Capitol on Jan. 6 has been charged in the riot, federal prosecutors said Thursday.Maj. Christopher Warnagiris, 40, of Woodbridge, Virginia, is the first active duty service member to be charged in the insurrection, the Department of Justice said. Warnagiris, who has been stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico since last summer, was arrested Thursday in Virginia, prosecutors said.He faces charges including assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder and obstruction of justice.Warnagiris was ordered released after a brief appearance before a federal judge in Virginia. An email seeking comment was sent to the federal public defender s office, which represented Warnagiris at his initial appearance, but there was no immediate response.Warnagiris, who was wearing a dark jacket, military green backpack and black and tan gloves, pushed past police officers standing guard outside Capitol doors and forced his way into the building, according to court documents. He then appeared to use his body to keep the door partially open and helped pull others inside, authorities said.A U.S. Capitol Police officer, who moved between Warnagiris and the crowd outside, tried to pull the door shut while Warnagiris fought to keep it open, court documents say. The officer told the FBI that he had tried to push Warnagiris out of the way and the man shoved him back, authorities said.A former coworker who recognized Warnagiris in photos reported him to the FBI in March, court documents say. The next day, FBI agents went to his military command and showed pictures to someone he works with, who identified the man in the photos as Warnagiris.The Marine Corps said in a statement that there is no place for racial hatred or extremism in its ranks.Those who can t value the contributions of others, regardless of background, are destructive to our culture, our warfighting ability, and have no place in our ranks, it said.More than 400 people have been charged so far in the siege. Among them are four members or reservists of the National Guard and about 40 military veterans, according to the Justice Department.The charges against the rioters range from misdemeanor offenses, such as disorderly conduct in a restricted building, to serious conspiracy cases against members and associates of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers extremist groups.____Associated Press reporters Michael Balsamo and Lolita Baldor contributed to this report from Washington.
Kelenic, Gilbert headline major roster shuffle for Mariners
SEATTLE (AP) Jerry Dipoto couldn t help but chuckle when Jarred Kelenic went deep in his first at-bat at the Triple-A level.It was yet more evidence Kelenic was ready for the big leagues.I laughed out loud when he had a homer in his first Triple-A at-bat off a lefty, because that s about as appropriate to how Jared Kelenic accepts challenges as you can imagine, Dipoto said Thursday. And I m sure he s going to be up for this next one, which is facing the best pitchers in the world night after night.Kelenic and right-handed pitcher Logan Gilbert are making their debuts for the Mariners on Thursday night as Seattle takes the next step in its rebuilding project. Kelenic is expected to start in left field, while Gilbert will start on the mound as Seattle opens a four-game series with Cleveland.Players, sometimes they hit the ground running, and sometimes they don t. The major leagues are difficult, Dipoto said. But there s never any more excitement than with the anticipation of the arrival of talented young players like these and we re excited to see what happens across the board. It s gonna be a fun time for us.The additions Thursday are part of a major roster reshuffle for the Mariners. Coming up from Triple-A Tacoma along with Kelenic and Gilbert is right-hander Paul Sewald to bolster a taxed bullpen.But Kelenic and Gilbert are the headliners. Kelenic has been regarded as one of the top prospects in the minors for several years and only reinforced his status with a torrid start at Triple-A, where he hit .370 with six runs, two homers, a double and five RBIs in just six games.He s knocked every challenge we ve given him out of the park, really, and has done that since he s been a Mariner, Dipoto said.Kelenic will primarily play in left field, but Dipoto expects him to move around the outfield on days Kyle Lewis or Mitch Haniger need a break from playing in the field.Gilbert s arrival in Seattle was partly out of necessity. Dipoto said the team started targeting May for Gilbert s potential arrival late last season. But major injuries to Seattle s starting rotation may have prompted a slightly quicker decision on Gilbert, who made just one start in Triple-A.With Seattle s plan to use a six-man rotation, Dipoto said the Mariners believe they ll be able to control Gilbert s innings and keep him around the target of 110 to 120 innings pitched this year.He s, I believe, as ready for this opportunity as a young pitcher can be, Dipoto said. That doesn t mean it s going to be easy for him. It s quite a challenge in the big leagues. But he s so cerebral. He has been preparing for this start all of his life.To clear space on the roster, Seattle optioned relievers Aaron Fletcher and Wyatt Mills to Tacoma, along with outfielder Taylor Trammell, whose spot is being taken by Kelenic for now. Trammell made his major league debut on opening day but is batting .157 in 27 games. Manager Scott Servais said Trammell needs more playing time and expects he ll be back with the major league club at some point.Seattle also transferred left-handed pitcher Nick Margevicius and right-hander Ljay Newsome to the 60-day injured list. Margevicius has been out since April 26 with shoulder issues. Newsome may be headed for Tommy John surgery. Dipoto said it appears both players could be done for the year.Seattle also designated for assignment outfielder Braden Bishop.___More AP MLB: https: apnews.com hub MLB and https: twitter.com AP_Sports
