☆ Irish museum pulls Sinéad O’Connor waxwork after just one day due to backlash

CNN —An Irish museum will withdraw a waxwork of singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor just one day after installing it, following a backlash from her family and the public, it told CNN in a statement on Friday. The success of her music, with singles like “Nothing Compares 2 U,” combined with her openness about her struggles with addiction and mental illness made her an influential pop culture figure, particularly in her native Ireland. Sinéad O'Connor died last year. Michel Linssen/Redferns/Getty ImagesJohn O’Connor said he “thought (the waxwork) was hideous” and added “a friend of mine said to me last night that he’d seen better in (department store) Shaws, in the window.”“I lost my sister and to me that’s important,” he said. He explained that the waxwork’s sculptor had been feeling unwell and retired after many years of “fantastic work” for the museum.

The night after eking out that second-place finish, DeSantis flew straight to South Carolina, as Haley and others shifted their efforts to New Hampshire, where Republicans vote Feb. 24. Political Cartoons View All 253 ImagesDeSantis has been stumping in New Hampshire but has reportedly reallocated the majority of his staff to South Carolina, Haley’s home state. Both Trump and DeSantis have omitted a significant part of the gas tax proposal Haley floated as governor, in 2015. South Carolina lawmakers ultimately raised the gas tax under her successor, overriding a veto by Gov. Awaiting DeSantis, Julie Maid said that she was ready to support DeSantis in South Carolina, despite Trump's lead.

☆ The Rock’s Wax Figure Will Get Redo, Museum Says
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Reggie Ugwu | More About Reggie Ugwu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A wax museum in Paris said it would change its recently unveiled statue of Dwayne Johnson, better known as the Rock, after a week of ridicule on social media and a plea from the actor himself. The statue, unveiled last Monday by the Grévin Museum — the French equivalent of Madame Tussauds — depicted the “Fast and the Furious” star and former W.W.E. Critics online quickly mocked several aspects of the likeness, especially the skin tone, which many described as noticeably lighter than Johnson’s. “Who is this because uhhhh … You do know he’s Samoan and Black right lol?” wrote one commenter. An Instagram post about the “melanin deficient” statue on the popular celebrity news account The Shade Room received over 40,000 comments.

☆ Many in U.K. Greet King Charles’s Coronation With a ‘Take It or Leave It’ Shrug
  + stars: | 2023-04-30 | by ( Mark Landler | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When King Charles III is crowned on Saturday, he will undergo a ritual so rare in modern British history that it last occurred 70 years ago, roughly the wait between sightings of Halley’s comet. And yet the coronation has yet to capture the imagination of a Britain preoccupied by other concerns. Images of the new king — in chocolate, in Legos and in wax — are popping up in bakeries, toy stores and at Madame Tussauds wax museum. Ancient relics of coronation, like the Scottish stone of destiny, are being delivered to Westminster Abbey for the ceremony. They love the royal family.
☆ Fact Check-Video shows actors wearing masks of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, for Madame Tussauds London
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Social media users are sharing videos that allegedly show Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. These videos are missing context as they are actors wearing masks of the prince and his wife, and do not actually show Prince Harry and Meghan. The promotional video that shows the actors in masks of Prince Harry and Meghan wearing the same clothing as in the Instagram video can be found on Madame Tussauds London’s Vimeo page (here). A YouTube account named “The Little Power Family” shared a similar video from a slightly different angle of the Madame Tussauds actors (youtu.be/7189A3fobzI?t=21). The video shows actors wearing masks to seem like Prince Harry and Meghan for an unveiling of live figures at Madame Tussauds London.
☆ Who will be the next James Bond? Producers mull choice as film franchise turns 60

I mean, if you look at the actors who portrayed Bond, it's very hard to pin down any common characteristic," he added. Sean Connery first played the fictional spy created by author Ian Fleming. "Thank goodness they cast Sean Connery originally because I think if it had not been him, who knows whether we'd still be here 60 years afterwards. And each one of the actors has transformed the series in a new direction, kept them fresh and relevant for the time."
