Current interim manager Ralf Rangnick’s contract runs until the summer and reports suggest Manchester United will be looking at either Ajax’s Erik Ten Hag or PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino to permanently take on the role. There had been rumors of Rangnick staying in the managerial position if he had achieved significant success, but current signs point to the club findiing someone else for the a permanent role.

Artists Jignesh and Yash Patel reportedly painted the mural in honor of the former monarch, who died on September 8 at her Scottish home of Balmoral Castle. “We love the Queen, [and] when she died, we thought we had to pay tribute,” Jignesh Patel told the BBC of the mural. “It is a unique way to do a tribute. In Hounslow, there is a lack of creativity.” Tributes to the Queen Many people from across the globe have paid tribute to the queen in various ways....

Now, with her new book “Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers and the Media that Love Them” (Hyperion), she is going toe-to-toe with the Bush administration and mainstream media. She has written the book, she tells NEWSWEEK, because, “the media has reached an all-time low. The lies take lives. ‘Exception to the rulers’ should be the motto of every news organization.” She describes what she calls the “disinformation two-step,” in which an administration “leaks” information to reporters, after which those officials refer to the published accounts to bolster their assertions....

When players pick up Aliens: Colonial Marines this Fall, they’ll be treated to a lovely image of a Xenomorph head upon a white background, with the Marines superimposed onto the creature’s skull. The box art image for the Wii U version has not been released, likely due to the fact that most Wii U details are still on lock down. The box art itself looks stunning, and the almost minimalistic nature of the finished product is definitely eye catching....

Netflix has a deal with The CW whereby all of their shows which debuted before 2019 arrive on the streaming service eight days after their season finale airs on TV. In effect, this means that the Netflix release date for All American Season 2 is likely to be in late March 2020. Season 1 of the show aired from October 10 2018 to March 20 2019 on The CW before arriving on Netflix on March 28....

Social media sensation Lexi, who has racked up over 156,000 followers on TikTok alongside Boxer Dexter, was caught chewing up objects around the room in a video viewed over 21 million times. Her owner, thought to be from Edgewater, Maryland, shared a video of herself telling off the dog through a camera she installed in the living room, with the caption: “When you catch her in the act of destroying whatever she gets into....

Winslow, who has been called “The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects,” impressed the judges with what he called his “voicestumentalist” skills, as he delivered a stand-up comedy routine that saw him uncannily recreate the sound of airplanes and radios. Who Is ‘America’s Got Talent’ Contestant Michael Winslow? If Winslow’s face or ability with sound effects sounds familiar to you, it is likely to be through his work on a series of classic movies from the 1980s....

The episode began where Episode 2 left off, with the campers trapped in two separate buildings and Mr. Jingles (John Carroll Lynch) and The Night Stalker (Zach Villa) trying to get into each respective cabin. The group hiding from the Stalker escaped, though “Slashdance” reveals that the other group were not being terrorized by Jingles but rather a group of teens celebrating “Jingles Day,” a local custom that sees teenagers dress up as the raincoat-wearing serial killer and knock on doors....

For millions of African-Americans, clearly it is. “Slavery is not dead and done, and it won’t be until we find the words to talk about it,” writes Dee Parmer Woodtor in “Finding a Place Called Home,” one of several new guidebooks to black genealogy. But at best, most such searches end with the discovery of an early slave ancestor about whom very little history is recorded. That may be why “heritage” package tours to Africa are on the rise–and why such trips so often entail a powerful leap of faith....

Developer Rovio revealed via Twitter that Angry Birds Rio had broken the mark set by the original Angry Birds, which took 10 months to accomplish the same monumental task last year. It’s hard to believe that in reality, Angry Birds Rio is little more than promotional material for the animated movie Rio, which has seen the inclusion of advertisements in the game’s pause screen. The blatant promoting has no doubt angered some iOS gamers, but clearly not enough to stop Angry Birds Rio from having a 5-star rating in Apple’s App Store....

Most of the world’s estimated 325,000 Holocaust survivors are in their 70s and 80s; as Spielberg says, the project is in a “race against time.” (Survivors are invited to call the project, toll-free, 800-661-2092.) The technology, typically Spielberg, is so cutting edge that some of it hasn’t even been invented yet. The completed interviews will be digitized–converted to an electronic format that makes it possible to put the interview online....

The display of braggadocio was eerily familiar. It recalled the November 1965 coup that brought Mobutu to power, the Shaba massacres of 1977 and 1978, the September 1991 riots by unpaid army troops and the first dismissal of Tshisekedi in October 1991-all pretexts to tighten Mobutu’s hold on a country he has bludgeoned and bankrupted. It was also a reminder that while strongmen have fallen in Zambia, Ethiopia and Somalia, democracy still has a long, hard journey in states like Zaire....

The producers’ decision to take the show to Las Vegas rather than on the road–the route taken by most Broadway shows–is both unconventional and controversial. But that’s nothing new for “Avenue Q.” The show’s cheeky campaign for the Tony awards included draping the Golden Theater, where it’s being staged, in red, white and blue (a la political-campaign-headquarters style) and handing out buttons that read DON’T SUCK. VOTE Q. The content of the musical doesn’t shy away from controversy either, dealing frankly with issues from race to pornography (with songs like “The Internet Is for Porn’” and “You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You’re Makin’ Love)”)....

However, most countries will only get to see Season 7 of the show on their favorite streaming service after the entire season has aired on ABC. U.S. viewers, however, are able to watch episodes online shortly after they air on the ABC website and app, which is also allowing viewers to watch episodes of Season 6 right now. Hulu subscribers can also watch the latest episodes from the following day....

The All American spin-off has been given a rough release date by the network, and we know it will focus on Geffri Maya’s Simone and new cast members in the world of college sports. Here’s what has been revealed so far about Homecoming. When is All American: Homecoming out?

The video, posted to TikTok last week by Neil Jordon, has garnered over 213,000 views and sparked a heated debate amongst commenters about who was to blame for the whole ordeal—the passengers for not tipping, or Jordon for accepting the ride. You can view the video here. Should You Tip Your Uber Driver? “International etiquette expert” Julia Boyd previously told The New York Times that Uber passengers should tip their drivers between 10 and 20 percent, “based on the level of service....

Though the episode doesn’t air until this coming Monday, Discovery Channel has sent over some clips from the episode that include looks at Paul visiting Epic Games’ home base and getting a glimpse at some Gears 3 concept art that ended up on the cutting room floor. Epic’s key Creative Director Cliffy B even goes so far as to explain some of the basic concepts of the Gears universe — stuff gamers have been getting their fill of with trailers in the past months....

Unlike the comeback contestants, many American Idol viewers did not realize that Daigle had been a contestant on the ABC (and formerly Fox) show until this episode teased her as an “alum” of the competition. Before she was famous, Daigle actually was part of the process on three separate seasons of Idol as an auditionee or contestant, then two more once she had made it as a Christian singer-songwriter on her own....

Who won American Idol 2021? Spence, Kinstler and Beckham each had to perform a song chosen for them by the judges, a song from their hometown and a reprise of a song they had formerly performed on Idol. Spence also performed with Leona Lewis, Kinstler with Alessia Cara, and Beckham with Luke Combs. Throughout the competition, fans voted on who would win as various outlets kept predicting that either Spence or Kinstler would triumph....

Kennedy, 17, was arrested by South Carolina Highway Patrol (SCHP) officers just after 12 p.m. ET after he allegedly ran off of the road while driving a 2011 Ford pickup truck and careened into a private driveway. It was then that he drove into the workshop of a nearby building, striking and killing a man who was working inside, according to information sent by the SCHP to Newsweek. The deceased victim was identified by the Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office as 54-year-old Larry Duane Parris....
