Zoe Saldaña as Rita Moro Castro in "Emilia Pérez." Portrayed by Karla Sofía Gascón, Manitas’ journey to becoming Emilia Pérez is the heart of the movie, shepherded by Saldaña’s Rita and set against the struggles of Manitas’ uninformed and disillusioned wife Jessi (Selena Gomez). “Where would I have been if it weren’t for these women?” Saldaña asked, explaining how specific and fastidious they were in helping her put her best foot forward in taped auditions.

CNN —Suki Waterhouse can add prankster to her list of superlatives. During her call to Pattinson, Waterhouse tried tricking the “Batman” actor into thinking that she had received an offer to be the host of the Netflix reality dating show “Love is Blind.”“What an interesting turn of events,” Pattinson responded awkwardly. Earlier in the video, Waterhouse told a wild story to her father Norman Waterhouse about urgently needing foot surgery that would come at a price of $150,000 and require the cancelling of her tour. “I’m going to go into surgery in a couple of hours,” Waterhouse convincingly fibbed. When her exasperated father, who’s a real-life surgeon, offered a profanity-laced reaction as he tried to convince her to stop, Waterhouse broke character and fessed up.

CNN —South African photographer, visual artist and fashion icon Trevor Stuurman has become one of the country’s most sought-after creatives by unapologetically challenging the global perception of African cultures through his powerful visual storytelling. This narrative shift was fully on display with his work on Beyoncé’s Grammy-nominated visual album “Black is King,” in 2020, which Stuurman knew would reach a massive audience. In 2021, Stuurman photographed the “Coming to America 2” x Uoma Beauty “Black is Magic” collection to showcase African creativity and contemporary cultures. “Everyone has the artistic ability, but not everyone has the professional tool set to execute and build a long-lasting career,” Stuurman said. “[The Manor] is about extending the table and creating a table as opposed to asking for a seat at the table.”Watch the full episode of African Voices Changemakers featuring Trevor Stuurman.

Will Trump keep that up, now that he's been hit with a $83.3 million defamation judgment? A jury on Friday found that Trump had maliciously damaged Carroll's reputation in 2019 after she went public with her accusations. If both judgments stand, Trump would owe her a total of $88.3 million. THE FIRST TRIALCarroll sued Trump for defamation in 2019, saying his statements about her were false and damaged her reputation.

On Monday, Trump's attorney Alina Habba said he intends to take the witness stand in his defense.

Alternatively, Trump can get on the witness stand and "try to testify in a narrative fashion," Jones said.

This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

On Truth Social and at rallies, he's continued calling Carroll a liar and claims he doesn't know who she is. Chris Mattei, an attorney who represented family members of Sandy Hook shooting victims in their defamation trial against conspiracy theorist Alex Jomes, told Business Insider it would be pointless for Trump to testify.

The accusations by the writer E. Jean Carroll that former President Donald J. Trump raped and defamed her have been the subject of two separate trials in U.S. District Court in Lower Manhattan and have unfolded as Mr. Trump campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination. Last May, a jury found that Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle magazine who said he assaulted her nearly three decades ago in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. Now, Mr. Trump, 77, is back in the same federal courthouse, defending himself again against accusations of defamation. On Thursday, Ms. Carroll, the first witness in the case, ended her testimony in a trial that is expected to wrap up next week. It is still unknown whether Mr. Trump will take the stand.

Carroll is due to testify Wednesday in the second federal civil trial over her claims against Trump, who denies them all. Because the first jury found that Trump sexually abused Carroll in the 1990s and then defamed her in 2022, the new trial concerns only how much more — if anything — he'll be ordered to pay her for some other remarks.

Since E. Jean Carroll accused Donald Trump of raping her in a dressing room in Bergdorf Goodman, he has made dozens of posts on social media accusing her of lying — although a jury last year awarded her $2 million in damages for the assault. On Wednesday, the former president watched and listened for the first time as Ms. Carroll, 80, described how those statements affected her. “He shattered my reputation,” Ms. Carroll said in a federal courtroom in Lower Manhattan as Mr. Trump sat at the defense table, attending the proceedings for a second straight day. In a trial this week, the former Elle magazine advice columnist is seeking $10 million in damages for two statements he made as president in 2019, accusing her of lying about claims he assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. Mr. Trump called Ms. Carroll’s rape claim “totally false,” said that he had never met Ms. Carroll, and that she had invented the story to sell a book.

Donald Trump secured 51% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, while Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley lagged behind with 21% and 19%. WSJ Senior Political Correspondent Molly Ball explains what the results mean for the Republican nomination race. An additional trial began Tuesday to determine whether he’ll have to pay her even more. Carroll, an author and former Elle magazine columnist, made her sexual-assault allegations against Trump public in 2019, when New York Magazine published an excerpt of her book, which alleged he assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. In the aftermath, she filed a pair of related lawsuits against Trump.
