Santa Fe (United States) (AFP) - Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial over a fatal shooting on the set of Western movie "Rust" began Tuesday with the selection of a jury who will now decide if a crew member's death was his fault.

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein may face new sexual assault charges ahead of his retrial this fall, Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday.

Santa Fe (United States) (AFP) - "Mr Baldwin, are you worried this will end in jail time?" asked an Australian reporter, as the Hollywood actor arrived at a New Mexico courthouse Tuesday with his wife and young child. Alec Baldwin shot a glare back at his interrogator before marching wordlessly on. Baldwin, who is on trial for involuntary manslaughter, does not appear to be relishing the global media attention descending on his case.

Santa Fe (United States) (AFP) - Decades before Alec Baldwin and the "Rust" shooting, the dusty acres of Bonanza Creek Ranch helped put New Mexico on the map as a stunning, homespun location to film Westerns. The ranch was the backdrop to classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," a place where jaded Hollywood stars would be greeted by long-standing manager Imogene Hughes with a cool glass of homemade lemonade and banana bread. Now, with Baldwin set to go on trial this week for manslaughter over an on-set death at Bonanza Creek that has drawn global headlines, Hughes's daughter is gl...

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - A long-awaited showdown will take place this week in a historic Wild West frontier town, with both sides seeking justice for a fatal bullet fired from a six-shooter. But if Alec Baldwin's trial for manslaughter sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the victims, the stakes and the tragic consequences are all too real. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer and wounding its director. Such is Baldwin's A-list fame and the rarity of on-set ...

New York (AFP) - Superstar rapper and music industry mogul Sean Combs has been sued by a former adult film star for sexual assault and sex trafficking, court filings showed. Combs is the target of several civil lawsuits that characterize him as a violent sexual predator who used alcohol and drugs to subdue his victims, and his homes were raided this year by federal agents.
