Harvey Weinstein's lawyer says the onetime movie mogul has been hospitalized for a battery of tests after his return to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction. Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday to city jails. On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals vacated his conviction after concluding that a trial judge permitted too much evidence not directly related to the charges he faced. The 72-year-old Weinstein has been ailing with a variety of afflictions, including cardiac issues, diabetes, sleep apnea and eye problems.

A glitzy election-year roast by President Joe Biden drew journalists, celebrities and politicians — but also hundreds of protesters against the war in Gaza. The annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner took place in Washington Saturday. This year's dinner was held in the face of a call for journalists to boycott it, given the killings of Arab journalists covering the war in Gaza. Protesters ran after guests in tuxes and long dresses hurrying into the dinner, chanting, “Shame on you!” Biden’s speech, which lasted around 10 minutes, made no mention of the ongoing war or the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
