In a courtroom that quickly turned chaotic after a trial that seethed with tension both cultural and personal, a Los Angeles jury on Friday found rapper Tory Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion, which left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet and could send him to prison for more than 20 years.

Lanez, who was put in handcuffs and led to jail while wearing a powder pink coat with matching pants, showed no visible reaction as the verdict was read.

But moments later after the jury was escorted out, his father, Sonstar Peterson, leapt up and began shouting. “This wicked system stands judged before God almighty!” He shouted, as deputies closed in on him. He then pointed to the two prosecutors in the case and yelled “You two are evil, wicked people. You know exactly what you did.”

When Sarah Polley has flown from her home in Toronto to the U.S. this year for the release of her film “Women Talking”, she’s had conversations with customs officials that usually go something like this:

“What are you here for?”

“I’m screening a film.”

“What’s the name of the film?”

“Women Talking”.

“Then I get either the biggest eyeroll you’ve ever seen or I get something openly confrontational like, ‘I’ve had enough of that in my life. I’m not going to see that movie,’” Polley says. “Then I have to decide whether to take the bait and risk not getting into the country.”

Sometimes, she does take the bait. The title, she notes, isn’t “Women Shouting” or “Women Berating”. And yet she’s found it’s often received like a confrontation.

“One guy I asked: ‘So if I told you there was

Choosing Harrison Ford‘s most important accessory turned out to be quite a challenge. In an interview with Variety, Janie Bryant, “1923”‘s costume designer, revealed that she tried approximately 75 hats on the actor as he suited up to play Jacob Dutton, the great-great uncle to John Dutton III (Kevin Costner), in the 1920s-set “Yellowstone” prequel series.

“It’s all about his hat. We made so many for him,” Bryant said. “All the different colors — trying the different creases, the different brims, the different crown heights. It was definitely a process.”

That process included herself, Ford and the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, Bryant said.

“Taylor is also very specific about the kind of hat that he likes, too,” she said. “There was a lot of collaboration with Taylor, with Harrison and myself to create what I call the ‘Jacob.'”

Ford himself discussed the hat-making process in an interview with Et’s Cassie Dilaura,
