George Clooney threatens prosecution over pics of twins

George Clooney says photographers who captured images of him and his wife, human-rights lawyer Amal Clooney, cradling their newborn twins will be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The pictures published by French magazine Voici were taken at the Clooneys’ residence in the Lombardy region of Italy. The magazine claims the photos are the first to be made public of twins Ella and Alexander, who were born June 6.

The actor says the photographers “scaled our fence, climbed our tree and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home.”

He adds that the photographers, the photo agency and the magazine will face prosecution because the safety of the couple’s children “demands it.”

Linkin Park singer’s widow opens about husband’s death

NEW YORK

The widow of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington says she’s feeling the love from the rocker’s fans but she’s also feeling the loss.

Talinda Bennington said in a statement late Thursday she wants “to let my community and the fans worldwide know that we feel your love. We feel your loss as well.”

Chester Bennington hanged himself from a bedroom door in his home near Los Angeles last week. His death was ruled a suicide.

“One week ago, I lost my soulmate and my children lost their hero – their Daddy. We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy. How do I move on? How do I pick up my shattered soul?” Talinda Bennington wrote. “The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left.”

Chester and Talinda Bennington had six children.

Linkin Park rose to fame after releasing its debut album, “Hybrid Theory,” in 2000. It sold more than 10 million albums and was highlighted by Chester Bennington’s screeching signature vocals. The band went on to become one of music’s top-selling acts and won accolades that included Grammy Awards.

After his death, the band announced it would cancel its tour, which would have begun this week.

Talinda Bennington said she knows his fans, family and friends “will help keep [Chester’s] memory alive.”

“He was a bright, loving soul with an angel’s voice. And now he is pain free, singing his songs in all of our hearts,” she continued. “May God bless us all and help us turn to one another when we are in pain. Chester would’ve wanted us to do so. Rest In Peace, my love.”

Bennington was found dead on what would have been the 53rd birthday of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who hanged himself in May. The two were friends and Bennington was the godfather to Cornell’s 11-year-old son, Chris.

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is giving fans a glimpse of her goofy side in a video that shows her coming out of an anesthetic haze after surgery to have her wisdom teeth removed.

Biles posted the video on Twitter on Thursday. She appears on a recovery room bed with gauze in her mouth, yelling something incomprehensible and pretending to drive a car. Biles says she hopes the 27-second clip makes people laugh.

The 20-year-old Biles says the full video is 14 minutes long. She says, “Other parts are hilarious too!”

Biles won four gold medals and a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
