'Criminal': Elton John condemns UK's AI copyright plansNew Foto - 'Criminal': Elton John condemns UK's AI copyright plans

LONDON (Reuters) -Elton John on Sunday accused the British government of "committing theft" by proposing that tech firms could train artificial intelligence models on the UK's music and creative output without guaranteeing proper recompense. Creative industries globally are grappling with the legal and ethical implications of AI models that can produce their own work after being trained on existing material. Britain, which Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to become an AI superpower, has proposed relaxing copyright laws to allow AI developers to train their models on any material to which they have lawful access. The proposal would require creators to proactively opt out to stop their work being used. The biggest names in the industry, including John, Paul McCartney, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ed Sheeran and others, have urged the government to change course, saying the proposal will make it even harder for young people to make a living in the creative industries. "The danger is for young artists, they haven't got the resources to keep checking or fight big tech," John told the BBC. "It's criminal and I feel incredibly betrayed." "A machine ... doesn't have a soul, doesn't have a heart, it doesn't have human feeling, it doesn't have passion. Human beings, when they create something, are doing it ... to bring pleasure to lots of people," he said. John has sold more than 300 million records over a six-decade career. A supporter of Starmer's Labour Party, he said he had always sought to support young artists and would continue to fight against the changes. The government says it is seeking a solution that will enable creative industries and AI companies to flourish. It said on Sunday it was consulting on measures, would publish an assessment on the economic impact of any move, and will not sign off on anything unless it is "completely satisfied they work for creators". Britain has long outperformed in the creative industries, with thousands employed in sectors including theatre, film, advertising, publishing and music.

Austria is awaiting JJ's homecoming after he wins Eurovision Song Contest with 'Wasted Love'New Foto - Austria is awaiting JJ's homecoming after he wins Eurovision Song Contest with 'Wasted Love'

BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Austrians were getting ready Sunday to welcome back home and celebrate classically trained singer JJ, who won the 69thEurovision Song Contestfor their country with "Wasted Love," a song that combines operatic, multi-octave vocals with a techno twist. The 24-year-old countertenor, who sings at the Vienna State Opera, was expected to land at Vienna's airport in the afternoon and hold a press conference in the evening. JJ, whose full name is Johannes Pietsch, was Austria's third Eurovision winner, after bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst in 2014 and Udo Jürgens in 1966. "This is beyond my wildest dreams. It's crazy," said the singer when being handed the microphone-shaped glass Eurovision trophy after his win in the Swiss city of Basel on Saturday night. "All of Austria is happy" Austria's leaders were among the first to congratulate JJ. On Sunday morning, the country's president, Alexander van der Bellen, celebrated JJ in a video posted on X. "What a success! What a voice! What a show!" he exclaimed. "All of Austria is happy." Chancellor Christian Stoecker wrote on X: "What a great success — my warmest congratulations on winning #ESC2025! JJ is writing Austrian music history today!" The Vienna State Opera also expressed joy over the win. "From the Magic Flute to winning the Song Contest is somehow a story that can only take place in Austria," opera director Bogdan Roscic told the Austrian press agency APA. Several Austrian cities were quick to show their interest in hosting next year's contest. Innsbruck Mayor Johannes Anzengruber told APA that "not everything has to take place in Vienna. ... Austria is bigger than that," and the towns of Oberwart in Burgenland and Wels in Upper Austria also threw their hats into the ring. JJ himself said Saturday night he hoped that Vienna would get the next ESC which he would love to host together with his mentor, Conchita Wurst. A nail-biting final Israeli singer Yuval Raphaelcame second at an exuberant celebration of music and unity that was shadowed by the Gaza war andrattled by discordover Israel's participation. JJ won after a nail-biting final that saw Raphael scoop up a massive public vote from her many fans for her anthemic "New Day Will Rise." But she also faced protests from pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for Israel to be kicked out of the contest over its conduct of thewar against Hamas in Gaza. At a post-victory press conference, JJ said the message of his song about unrequited romance was that "love is the strongest force on planet Earth, and love persevered. "Let's spread love, guys," said JJ, who added that he was honored to be the first Eurovision champion with Filipino heritage, as well as a proudly queer winner. Eclectic and sometimes baffling The world's largest live music event, which has been uniting and dividing Europeans since 1956, reached its glitter-drenched conclusion with a grand final inBaselthat offered pounding electropop, quirky rock and outrageous divas. Acts from 26 countries — trimmed from 37 entrants throughtwo elimination semifinals— performed to some160 million viewersfor the continent's pop crown. No smoke machine, jet of flame or dizzying light display was spared by musicians who had three minutes to win over millions of viewers who, along with national juries of music professionals, picked the winner. Estonia's Tommy Cashcame third with his jokey mock-Italian dance song "Espresso Macchiato."Swedish entry KAJ, which had been favorite to win with jaunty sauna ode "Bara Bada Bastu," came fourth. Several highly praised singers who had been tipped to win fell short, including French chanteuse Louane and soulful Dutch singer Claude. The show was a celebration of Europe's eclectic, and sometimes baffling, musical tastes. The war in Gaza clouded the contest This year's contest was roiled for a second year by disputes over Israel's participation. Raphael — a survivor of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on a music festival in southern Israel that triggered the Gaza war — was met by a mix of cheers and boos as she sang. Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR said a man and woman were stopped as they tried to climb over a barrier to the stage at the end of her song. It said a crew member was hit by paint thrown by the pair. Raphael's team said she was left "shaken and upset." The Oct. 7 cross-border attacks by Hamas militants killed 1,200 people, and roughly 250 were taken hostage into Gaza. More than 52,800 people in Gaza have been killed in Israel's retaliatory offensive, according to the territory's health ministry. Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests both took place in Basel, though on a much smaller scale than at last year's event in Sweden. Hundreds of people marched through Basel just before the competition, waving Palestinian flags and chanting "Boycott Israel." Basel police said Sunday that the protest had not been authorized and that three officers and one protester were injured. Earlier on Saturday, a group of Israel supporters had gathered in Basel's cathedral square to root for Raphael and to show that "Jews belong in public spaces in Switzerland," Zurich resident Rebecca Laes-Kushner said. She said that "this is supposed to be about music, not about hate." The European Broadcasting Union, or EBU, which runs Eurovision, tightened the contest's code of conduct this year, calling on participants to respect Eurovision's values of "universality, diversity, equality and inclusivity" and its political neutrality. Eurovision director Martin Green told reporters that the organizers' goal was to "re-establish a sense of unity, calm and togetherness this year in a difficult world." He said all 37 national delegations "have behaved impeccably." —— Grieshaber reported from Berlin.

Scarlett Johansson brings 50th season of 'SNL' to a low-key closeNew Foto - Scarlett Johansson brings 50th season of 'SNL' to a low-key close

"Saturday Night Live"was more reflective than festive in the final episode of its 50th season. Scarlett Johansson, who set a record for a woman with her seventh appearance as host, used her monologue to lead most of the current cast of the NBC sketch institution in a song sung to the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man." The performance looked back on an eventful year that included an election, anepic anniversary specialand astar-studded concert. "Sing us a song, it's your monologue, the 50th season is through," Johansson sang, along with Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner and others. "It's lasting forever, we did it together, and we got to spend it with you." Johansson teased, then took back, a guest appearance that would have been in keeping with the season's excess of guest stars. "Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Joel!" she shouted, before adding, "wrote this song." No post-season cast departures have been announced, so no emotional farewells were necessary, but Johansson and the cast joked in the song that Sarah Sherman would be gone. "It's been a great season and Sarah is leaving, we're all gonna miss you next year!" they sang. A stunned Sherman replied, "Wait, what? Did you guys hear something?" Johansson's husband, Colin Jost, is a writer on the show and anchor of the "Weekend Update" segment. Jost and co-anchor Michael Che returned to their annual season-finale tradition of writing and being forced to deliver wildly inappropriate jokes for each other. Johansson is the subject of many of the Che-written jokes, so this year Jost compelled Che to bring her out and apologize for once comparing part of her body to "Costco roast beef." The 50th season brought muchmedia discussionof who might run the show should 80-year-old creator Lorne Michaels ever step down. Some have suggested Jost might replace Michaels and Che forced Jost to address the issue with one of the jokes written for him. "It's SNL's 50th season, so I want to take a moment to say something to our boss," Jost said. "Lorne, retire, bitch! let me run the show." Jost also appeared in a pre-recorded, behind-the-scenes bit where Johansson has torrid sex with Yang after she confesses to Nwodim and Gardner that she has a crush on him, and learns he has only been publicly pretending to be gay "for the clout." Johansson has her heart broken when she learns Yang also has been hooking up with Nwodim, Gardner and guest starEmily Ratajkowski. In another behind-the-scenes digital short made by the three members of comedy group Please Don't Destroy, Johansson treats the trio to a first-class flight that becomes a luxe hip-hop video until the men panic when they learn they are landing at thetroubled airport of Newark, New Jersey. Musical guestBad Bunnyappears as an air traffic controller, working alone on his first day. As in nearly every episode of this season, James Austin Johnson did his impression of PresidentDonald Trumpin the cold open segment, which had him "finding love" with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Johnson's Trump broke the fourth wall and walked into the audience at the end of the bit. "It's the 'SNL' finale, season 50 — worst one yet!" he said. "See you again in the fall if we still have a country. It's a coin toss."

Meanwhile, Bono's son Elijah wore a simple black suit with a white shirt underneath. Ali and Jordan don't often attend events, so their appearances at the premiere were extra special.

DWTS' Judge Derek Hough 'In Tears' As He Selflessly Gives Up His BirthdayNew Foto - DWTS' Judge Derek Hough 'In Tears' As He Selflessly Gives Up His Birthday

Dancing With the Starspro-turned-judgeDerek Houghturned the big 4-0 on Saturday, May 17, but he did not spend his big day celebrating with family and friends. Instead, he flew to Orlando, Florida, to raise money for kids battling cancer. In an Instagram story, Hough said that a lot of fans had been asking how he was celebrating his birthday, so he told them about the fundraiser for Runway to Hope. "I have a lot of people asking me if I'm having a big party tonight for my 40th birthday, and the truth is I am, but not for me," said Hough. "Tonight is about this amazing event that I'm hosting calledRunway to Hope. It's for kids that have cancer, battling cancer. And we're here to raise money to help, to serve them and their families, so it's an honor to be able to be here tonight. It's a privilege to be here in Orlando, Florida to do something meaningful and to give back in some way for this milestone birthday, and then we'll get to celebrating in a different way later on, but for now? Let's go raise some money for some kids." He also reposted a video that someone at the fundraiser took of him on stage, addressing the crowd. In the video, Hough said, "I want to make sure we raise as much money as possible for this incredible, incredible organization. By the way, I'm backstage in tears, this has been an incredibly moving night." We wouldn't expect anything less from Mr. Hough. Runway to Hope is a non-profit organization in Central Florida that believes "no family should battle pediatric cancer alone,"according to the website. "Through relationships with children's hospitals, Runway to Hope fosters collaborative efforts among corporations, local businesses, and philanthropists to not only raise funds and awareness, but also bring new programs and initiatives to the pediatric cancer community, all while providing direct support and aid primarily to Central Florida children and their families impacted through the Family Assistance Program," the website explains. Previous hosts for this annual event include manyDancing With the Starspros and contestants —Cheryl Burke, Lindsay Arnold, Joey Fatone, Maria Menounos, Nikki Bella, Robert Herjavecand wifeKym Johnson,Brooke BurkeandGabby Douglas, among many other non-DWTS celebrities.

Michael Che Gives Humiliating Apology to Scarlett Johansson for Lewd 'SNL' Jokes: 'I Was Just Lashing Out Because I'm Jealous … I've Never Seen a Human Vagina'New Foto - Michael Che Gives Humiliating Apology to Scarlett Johansson for Lewd 'SNL' Jokes: 'I Was Just Lashing Out Because I'm Jealous … I've Never Seen a Human Vagina'

Scarlett Johansson is finally firing back at Michael Che for all those "Weekend Update" jokes. Johansson hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the seventh time this weekend with musical guest Bad Bunny. Che, who co-anchors the recurring "Weekend Update" segment of "Saturday Night Live," writes gags for Colin Jost (Johansson's husband) to read during "joke swaps" each season — and sometimes they're at her expense. More from Variety Trump Heads to the Middle East, Falls in Love With Saudi Crown Prince in 'SNL' Cold Open: 'I Love the Arabs! Get Me to Allah's Country!' Scarlett Johansson Says Filming 'The Avengers' Felt 'Like a Big Mess' and 'Didn't Feel Cool': 'We All Looked Insane. What Are We Doing?' Scarlett Johansson Was Offered 'Sex Object' Roles 'For Years' After 'Lost in Translation,' Says Bill Murray Was in a 'Hard Place' on Set: 'Life Has Humbled Him' Now "Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu," Jost said in a "Weekend Update" bit during a December SNL episode. "But I ain't trippin'. I've been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid." Che and Jost opened the season finale "Weekend Update" segment by acknowledging the long-standing tradition of swapping jokes, and calling Johansson out to join them at the "Update" desk so Che could formally apologize for "comparing your vagina to Costco roast beef." "I was just lashing out because I'm jealous," Che (scripted by Jost) told Johansson. "I've never seen a human vagina. Notice I said human, because I once spent a summer on a farm." Che's self-depreciation continued: "I can't even take my hoodie off during sex because I have more nipples than a pregnant dog. When Colin discovered me, I was selling crack outside a convenience store. Now I'm selling crack outside the American Girl Doll Store." Che ended his Jost-written "Update" jokes by thanking his co-host and giving him long-overdue praise. "I've told thousands of jokes and gotten dozens of laughs, but I've never said those three little words: 'I love you.'" "I had all these cameras on me. I didn't expect the setup to be like that," Johansson told Vanity Fair about Che and Jost's "Weekend Update" bits poking fun at her. "I was like, 'Wow, you really are seventh-, eighth-grade boys.' I feel like it's almost my responsibility to come up with some way to burn Michael back. Retaliation, I'd say, should be expected. Others on the show could support this desire. Know what I mean?" With this latest hosting stint, Johansson has broken the record for the most "SNL" episodes hosted by a woman, having previously tied with Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore, who have both hosted six times.

Royal Style Twins: Beatrice & Kate Rock Same Chic Dress!New Foto - Royal Style Twins: Beatrice & Kate Rock Same Chic Dress!

Royal style obsessives, steady yourselvesPrincess Beatricejust delivered a fashion moment SO good, it had fans seeing double in the most fabulous way possible! Beatrice stepped out looking like a total vision for a glam awards night Thursday, May 15, and her dress of choice? It's one we instantly recognized, because the incrediblePrincess Kate, our very ownPrincess of Wales, wore the exact same jaw-dropping Self Portrait design just the week before! Cue the collective gasp! This is the kind of "whoa!" royal fashion synchronicity that sends us into a style tailspin, and honestly, we arelivingfor it! Picture this: it's Thursday, May 15, 2025, at the ultra-chic FEVO Sport Industry Awards at Evolution London. Princess Beatrice, 36, arrives, and BAM! She's a knockout in a sleek black Self Portrait gown. The dress is a sophisticated belted blazer top that flows into a swishy crepe skirt. Beatrice accessorized the dress with an Aspinal of London bag and those sling-back Atana heels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Royals UK (@royalsjetset) Now, rewind seven days to Thursday, May. The event was a moving concert at London's Horse Guards Parade for the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. Princess Kate, 43, appeared at the event alongsidePrince William,King Charles, andQueen Camilla. And the princess wore the same Self Portrait dress, but in bright white! Different vibes mean different colors (black for Beatrice's glam night, white for Kate's daytime commemoration), but the same absolutely A+ taste. Don't think of it as a fashion face-off; it's a carousel of style. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine) This isn't some random style coincidence! These royal ladies have a track record of sharing impeccable taste. Are they secretly swapping style notes? Do they have a royal group chat dedicated to divine dresses? We can only dream. But what wedoknow is that they've previously twinned (or tripled!) in theAhana dressfromBeulah London. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Each royal brings her own unique sparkle, her own signature styling, making the look entirely her own.
