Frank Caprio: 'Nicest judge in the world' dies after cancer diagnosis
A US judge who amassed a huge online fan base via clips of his compassion in the courtroom has died. Frank Caprio was on the bench at a court in Providence, Rhode Island, for almost four decades. He became affectionately known as the "nicest judge in the world", NBC Boston reported, after viral videos of him handing out justice with a smile were viewed more than a billion times on social media. The latter years of his career, which ended in 2023, were documented in the TV show Caught In Providence. A statement on Wednesday on his Instagram page, which had 3.2 million followers, said he had died aged 88 "after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer". It said he was "beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people". He had posted a message from his hospital bed the day before, saying: "Unfortunately I've had a setback, I'm back in the hospital now, and I'm coming to you again asking you to remember me in your prayers once more." Caprio's persona was at odds with my fellow TV judges, who were less sympathetic and more confrontational. In one popular clip, he dismissed a traffic ticket handed to a bartender who skipped a red light, as they were only earning less than $4 (£2.97) an hour. Another saw him listening sympathetically to a woman whose son had been killed, before dismissing her tickets and fines which had totalled $400 (£297). Read more from Sky News: Caprio also used his fame to speak out about inequality in the justice system. "Almost 90% of low-income Americans are forced to battle civil issues like health care, unjust evictions, veterans benefits and, yes, even traffic violations, alone," he said in one video. After his death was announced, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee paid tribute to his "warmth and compassion". "He was more than a jurist - he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity," he said.

Delaware native Aubrey Plaza wears "Philly is a women's sports town" shirt at a WNBA game in Brooklyn
Actor Aubrey Plaza wore a shirt that says "Philly is a women's sports town" at a WNBA game in Brooklyn. The shirt, which she got from her sister, was designed by two local organizations, and proceeds from its sale support a women's sports bar planned for Philadelphia. Plaza, a Delaware native, was spotted wearing the shirt at the Minnesota Lynx-New York Liberty game at the Barclays Center Tuesday night. The gray and orange shirt also says "Est. 2030," a reference to Philadelphia getting its own WNBA team in five years. The announcement of the new women's basketball team, owned by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which also owns the Sixers, and Comcast Spectacor, came a few months after HBSE and Comcast announced a new shared arena for the Sixers and the Flyers set to open in South Philly 2031. Sales of the shirt support Watch Party PHL, a group that is working to open a women's sports bar in Philadelphia. In a press release, Watch Party PHL said Plaza got the shirt from founder Jen Leary, who recently met up with Plaza's sister, Natalie Plaza, for coffee. Natalie Plaza liked Leary's shirt and mentioned her sister's plans to attend the Lynx-Liberty game, and Leary took the shirt off and gave it to Natalie to give to Aubrey. The shirt was codesigned with Go Hamm, a women's sports brand based in Philadelphia that is selling the shirt on its website, according to the press release. Watch Party PHL posted a warning about knockoff versions of the shirt on social media. Watch Party PHL also said on Instagram that the Plaza sisters have been "big advocates for bringing a WNBA team to Philly." Aubrey Plaza attended the 2024 WNBA All-Star game.

Sydney Sweeney Addresses Ad Backlash, Reveals Strategy Behind Racy Campaigns
Sydney Sweeney isn't here to play it safe. The 27-year-old "Euphoria" star and Hollywood's newest power player is clapping back at critics who accuse her of cashing in on an oversexualized image. From eyebrow-raising ad campaigns and bathwater soap stunts to multimillion-dollar movie deals, Sweeney insists every move is calculated and part of her bigger plan. Sydney Sweeney Defends Her Risqué Campaigns In the past year alone, Sweeney has gone from prestige TV darling to advertising powerhouse, appearing in campaigns for Baskin-Robbins, Laneige, and Samsung. Yet it's the provocative ones that have fans talking. "I think it's important to have a finger on the pulse of what people are saying, because everything is a conversation with the audience," the two-time Emmy nominee explained in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. One of her most notorious deals came with Dr. Squatch, which sold limited-edition soap infused with Sweeney's actual bathwater. The viral stunt dominated social media and fueled the narrative that she was leaning too hard on sex appeal. Unbothered, Sweeney brushed it off. "It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting," she said. "They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi's bathwater." When asked if the campaigns were part of her strategy, Sweeney didn't hesitate to respond, saying, "Yes. Very." Sweeney On Controversy And Control Not all of Sydney Sweeney's campaigns have been received with humor. Her American Eagle denim ad, tagged with "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans," sparked outrage online, with critics accusing it of carrying disturbing undertones. Some even went so far as to call it "Nazi propaganda." Sweeney has stayed silent on that particular backlash, but her philosophy toward work suggests she won't let outside noise dictate her choices. "I definitely have a hard time sitting on set in a chair," she admitted. "I just want to ask, What's the budget? What's our line item? Where can we make things run better?" This hands-on approach carries into her production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, where she oversees projects with the same intensity she brings to her acting roles. Work, Love, And What Sydney Sweeney Won't Say The actress has been open about her career but fiercely protective of her private life, especially after her split from ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year. "I'm going to keep all of my personal stuff out of it," she told WSJ firmly when pressed about whether she and Davino would still collaborate behind the scenes. That laser focus on boundaries also extends to her work schedule. Back in 2022, Sweeney sparked headlines after admitting she couldn't afford her publicist, stylist, and mortgage if she took six months off. Now, she clarifies it wasn't about financial struggle but relentless drive. "What I was talking about is more that I didn't have time to take six months off," she explained. "I was so busy, and still, same. But I do that because I don't want to take six months off. I get anxiety thinking about just taking a few days off." She added that while she keeps her schedule open for unexpected offers, she could easily "be booked for the next three or four years." Sweeney's Career Skyrockets With Bigger Paychecks While Sydney Sweeney's ads dominate social media, her acting roles are commanding staggering paydays. According to WSJ, Sweeney earned just $65,000 for her role in "Reality" in 2023. Later that year, she landed $2 million for the rom-com "Anyone But You" alongside Glen Powell. Now, with her thriller "The Housemaid" set for a Christmas Day release, her asking price has skyrocketed to $7.5 million. "Being on set is my happy place," she said. Those who work with her agree. Director Paul Feig, who helmed "The Housemaid," praised her commitment. "She loves to work. She was completely present emotionally, just up for anything, and really didn't bring any issues to set," Feig recalled. "And I know she was going through some things when this was going on — I mean, now everybody knows about her engagement falling apart and breaking off and all that… But she would never bring it to the set. I'd say, 'Hey, are you OK?' and she'd go, 'I'm fine, I'm great!' but not defensively." Sydney Sweeney's 'Americana' Struggles At The Box Office Sweeney's interview came after her latest film, "Americana," stumbled in its nationwide debut. Despite a buzzy festival premiere, the indie crime drama has failed to draw audiences, opening in more than 1,100 theaters but projected to earn only $850,000 in its first weekend. The movie, co-starring Halsey and Paul Walter Hauser, follows a violent clash in a small South Dakota town after a rare Lakota Ghost Shirt surfaces. While critics offered a mixed response, with a 68% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film's lackluster performance placed it outside the top 15 at the box office. Solve the daily Crossword
