The Los Angeles Dodgers are in Milwaukee this week for a three-game series with the NL Central-leading Brewers, and while team unity is important during long road trips, one Dodgers star is keeping his distance from the rest of the team, "just in case."According to Orange County Register reporter Bill Plunkett, outfielder Mookie Betts rented an Airbnb with some friends while the rest of his Dodgers teammates stayed in a legendary 130-year-old hotel in Milwaukee.The reason, Betts said, is due to long-rumored reports of hauntings and other creepy happenings at the Pfister Hotel.View of the Pfister Hotel from an East Wisconsin Avenue crosswalk in November 2022 (Casey Lovegrove/Unsplash)The Pfister Hotel is one of the most historic buildings in Milwaukee.

Prince Harry's lawyer says British tabloid spied on 'industrial scale'

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:30:34 GMT

LONDON (AP) — The British publisher of the Daily Mirror apologized for one instance of snooping on Prince Harry, but denied his other claims as his first phone hacking trial began Wednesday with his lawyer accusing the newspaper of unlawfully gathering information on “an industrial scale.”While the admission that the publisher employed a private investigator for a 2004 article headlined “Sex on the beach with Harry” may have marked a tiny victory for the Duke of Sussex, the story in question wasn't one of the nearly 150 that Harry alleges were the result of skulduggery.The seven-week trial that opened in London is Harry’s biggest test yet in his legal battle against the British media. He and three others, including two soap opera actors, are suing Mirror Group Newspapers for alleged misuse of private information between 1991 and 2011.Harry wasn't in court as his attorney, David Sherborne, began his opening statement, saying unlawful acts were “widespread and habitual” by reporters a...

Alice Bag Back at Alex’s Bar: When L.A. queen of punk Alice Bag plays a show, all of L.A. should show up. Besides her classic Bags material, her solo material over the past decade has been superb. Not least 2020’s Sister Dynamite, which is a gem. The Groans and Cosmic Kitten also perform.“I feel like, for years now, people have been saying that we already have equality,” Bag told us in 2018. “It’s now evident that we do need people to step forward and call themselves feminists. We won’t tolerate things like pussy grabbing, and the sexual harassment that is so common [that] women and men don’t even really feel like it’s an exception. It feels like it happens to everyone and nobody is doing anything about it, until now.”“I think sometimes things have to become uncomfortable enough that it forces you to act,” she continued. “Some people are more willing to bend. They have a higher threshold for bullshit, and they’ll keep taking it on. I’m very quick to say that I’m no...
