DiCaprio, girlfriend unhurt after accident

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y.

Authorities say actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his Danish supermodel girlfriend weren’t injured when their vehicle was involved in a minor accident in the Hamptons over the weekend.

Police in the village of East Hampton say the accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. Saturday on Montauk Highway on Long Island’s east end, where the 41-year-old Oscar-winning actor and 24-year-old Nina Agdal were traveling together.

A department spokeswoman tells Newsday the accident, first reported by the New York Post, was “just minor” and no one was taken to a hospital. Officials had not released any other information Monday morning.

Carter thought he had just weeks to live during cancer battle

MEMPHIS, TENN.

Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that he thought he had just a few weeks to live during his battle with cancer a year ago.

Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, spoke at a news conference at a Habitat for Humanity construction project in Memphis. The 91-year-old Carter, a worldwide ambassador for the charity, is being joined by about 1,500 volunteers during a weeklong effort to build 19 homes in a low-income neighborhood near the city’s downtown.

Carter revealed in August 2015 that he had been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain. He said in March that he no longer needs cancer treatment.

But during the peak of his fight with the illness, he had his doubts.

“A year ago, I didn’t think I was going to live but two or three weeks because they had already removed part of my liver because I had cancer there,” Carter said. “After that, when they did an MRI, they found four cancer places in my brain so I thought I just had a few weeks to live.”

By last November, Carter was responding to treatment and was able to travel to Memphis for another Habitat for Humanity project.

Robach of ‘GMA’ sorry for using reference to ‘colored people’

NEW YORK

“Good Morning America” co-anchor Amy Robach has apologized for saying “colored people” on Monday’s broadcast of the ABC program.

Her use of the term sparked criticism on social media. “Offensive,” tweeted one viewer. Another said Robach “gets a pass this time” but vowed to ditch “GMA” for a rival morning program if it happened again.

During a segment on diversity in Hollywood, Robach, who was substituting for Robin Roberts, noted recent criticism for casting white actors “in what one might assume should be a role reserved for colored people.”

After the broadcast, Robach released a statement explaining she had meant to say “people of color.”
