Santa Fe (United States) (AFP) - Decades before Alec Baldwin and the "Rust" shooting, the dusty acres of Bonanza Creek Ranch helped put New Mexico on the map as a stunning, homespun location to film Westerns. The ranch was the backdrop to classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," a place where jaded Hollywood stars would be greeted by long-standing manager Imogene Hughes with a cool glass of homemade lemonade and banana bread. Now, with Baldwin set to go on trial this week for manslaughter over an on-set death at Bonanza Creek that has drawn global headlines, Hughes's daughter is gl...

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - A long-awaited showdown will take place this week in a historic Wild West frontier town, with both sides seeking justice for a fatal bullet fired from a six-shooter. But if Alec Baldwin's trial for manslaughter sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the victims, the stakes and the tragic consequences are all too real. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer and wounding its director. Such is Baldwin's A-list fame and the rarity of on-set ...

New York (AFP) - Superstar rapper and music industry mogul Sean Combs has been sued by a former adult film star for sexual assault and sex trafficking, court filings showed. Combs is the target of several civil lawsuits that characterize him as a violent sexual predator who used alcohol and drugs to subdue his victims, and his homes were raided this year by federal agents. The hip-hop artist, known as both Puff Daddy or Diddy, used actress Adria English as a "sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others" during his lavish "White Parties" in the Hamptons and Florida between 2004...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Los Angeles home where Marilyn Monroe died was declared a historic landmark on Wednesday, thwarting plans by its current owners to demolish the property.

Property heiress Brinah Milstein and her reality TV producer husband Roy Bank bought the Spa...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - Sienna Miller was such a huge fan of Kevin Costner's films when growing up that she named her pet rabbits after animals in "Dances With Wolves". Now she is starring alongside Costner in his ambitious film series "Horizon: An American Saga" -- a four-part project that he mortgaged his home to fund. The first two instalments -- each some three hours long -- hit cinemas this summer, with the first released on June 28. Miller, 42, said she remained star-struck. "I'm a child of the 90s. I can still barely look at Kevin, because he was such a huge part of my childhood," sh...

Los Angeles (AFP) - With his towering height and a brooding expression that veered from menacing to hilarious and heartbroken, Donald Sutherland was Hollywood's chameleon, equally at home in war, love, horror -- or playing for laughs. In a dense filmography spanning six decades, Sutherland stood out for his unusual -- even odd -- looks and an incredible range of roles, working alongside several of the greatest directors of his time. The Canadian-born actor -- who has died at age 88, his son Kiefer said Thursday -- had many standout roles, from an army surgeon in wartime comedy "MAS*H" (1970) t...
