Police have released video stills that show three alleged suspects in the killing of "General Hospital" actor Johnny Wactor. Wactor, 37, was fatally shot in May after he interrupted a catalytic converter theft on his car in downtown Los Angeles. The suspects cannot be clearly seen, but police said the suspect who shot Wactor "has a tattoo above the left eye and on the right cheek." The Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public's help with identifying the three suspects. Wactor, who hailed from Charleston, South Carolina, always wanted to be an actor, his mother previously told NBC News.

“Lifetime appeared in court today, and the documentary ‘Where Is Wendy Williams?’ will air this weekend, as planned,” a spokesperson for the network told CNN Friday. The legal guardian for Williams had filed suit against Lifetime’s parent company A&E Television Networks on Thursday in a New York State court, the source told CNN. The four-part docuseries, “Where is Wendy Williams?” provides a painfully candid depiction of Williams’ life as she struggles with health issues and alcohol abuse. A representative for Williams’ care team declined to comment on the documentary and would not confirm whether the care team is working in connection with the guardianship. Mark Ford, an executive producer on the documentary project, told CNN that nothing was filmed without Williams’ or her manager’s approval.

And, according to an increasing number of holiday movies, it’s in Europe. In Notting Hill. A jolly good Christmas. A merry Scottish Christmas and even a merry Swissmas. Europe, with its cobblestoned streets (a nightmare in heels), old buildings (no central heating) and Christmas markets (those can be as good as they look onscreen), provides the perfect setting for a magical holiday adventure.

He smiled, he paused, then he hoisted high the World Cup, a lifetime’s dream realised. "It's madness... look how she (the World Cup) is, she's gorgeous. "We suffer, but we already have it (the World Cup)," Messi said. Eight years ago in a World Cup final in Rio de Janeiro, Messi had been muted, not magical and had seemed wearied by the weight of expectation as Argentina fell in the final to Germany. He has won a Copa America, 11 league titles, four Champions League titles, three Club World Cups and three UEFA Super Cups.
