Jim Morrison's Long-Lost Bust Recovered in French Police Search
The post Jim Morrison's Long-Lost Bust Recovered in French Police Search appeared first on Consequence.
A long-lost bust of The Doors frontman Jim Morrison has been recovered, 37 years after it was stolen from his gravesite at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, France.
French authorities announced the recovery in an Instagram statement last Friday, May 16th, revealing the sculpture was found during an unrelated investigation by the Financial and Anti-Corruption Brigade.
The announcement was accompanied by a photo of the bust, which was carved by Croatian artist Mladen Mikulin in 1981. It shows the sculpture is still covered in graffiti and missing a chunk of its nose, the latter of which had reportedly been sliced off by souvenir hunters before it disappeared from the gravesite decades ago.

Outer Worlds 2 Is Xbox's First $80 Video Game
Today's Xbox Summer Game Fest showcase was a solid hour of big and small announcements, including a new Call of Duty trailer and the reveal of Xbox's handheld PC device. But it also brought us our first $80 Xbox game. The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian's next big open-world RPG following this year's excellent Avowed, kicked off Xbox's showcase with a new trailer. And after the event, Xbox and Obsidian showed off even more of the upcoming space RPG sequel. It also opened up pre-orders, and that's when people discovered that Outer Worlds 2 is $80. While reactions to this news were mostly negative, it isn't surprising. We knew Xbox was going to start charging $80 for games this year, as the company confirmed this was the plan in May. It announced last month that it was raising prices on all hardware and accessories, too. And it confirmed that by the holidays, some of its new first-party games will see a price jump from $70 to $80. Unfortunately for Outer Worlds 2 and developers Obsidian, the upcoming RPG is the first Xbox game to be priced at $80. When Microsoft announced its plans to raise prices on games and consoles, it didn't specify why. But it's not hard to connect the dots. Xbox is raising prices due to President Trump's ongoing tariff waragainst other countries. While it is true that prices for Xbox consoles and accessories are increasing all around the world, the difference is far greater in the U.S. Of course, Xbox isn't the first video game company to charge $80 for a video game. Nintendo famously broke the internet when it announced that Mario Kart World on Switch 2 was going to be priced at $80. And I'd bet my next lunch that GTA 6 will cost at least $80 when it arrives in May 2026. It wasn't that long ago that people were getting used to $70 games. And now that Xbox has finally made the leap, it's only a matter of time until other companies start charging $80 as one of the most expensive hobbies around, gets even more costly. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Justin Bieber fans beg him to ‘get help' as he appears to be ‘seriously struggling' in new photos: ‘Sad to watch'
Justin Bieber's fans begged him to 'get help' after he appeared to be 'seriously struggling' in new bathroom selfies shared on Instagram. On Saturday, the 'Stay' hitmaker shared a collection of photos that showed him posing awkwardly and making a series of funny faces in the mirror. 'U could point at my flaws,' he captioned the carousel. 'Or u could recognize ur own lil bitch.' 'So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he's clearly struggling. He's not clear at all and hurting,' one of his followers commented. Another social media user added: 'Awh [sic] good love him seriously struggling it's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's to [sic] late.' 'Babe. Please go get help,' another chimed in, while someone else wrote that the 'Peaches' singer — who recently was seen sporting a mystery injury — is 'slowly turning into the Britney Spears of our generation.' A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. The singer's behavior has been a topic of concern after he began exhibiting 'strange' behavior at his wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode skin event, which sparked fan speculation that the singer had been taking drugs. Though Justin's rep slammed the 'harmful' rumors of drug use in February, the Grammy winner, 31, hasn't shied away from unapologetically flaunting his marijuana use in the time since. Recently, he showed off his drug use in an Instagram post as he shared a photo of himself smiling in an armchair while a massive bong sat in his lap. He also admitted to ripping off Hailey with a phone case used to hold blunts modeled after her patented Rhode lip gloss-carrying cases. In April, several people close to the singer expressed their worry for his mental health, telling the Hollywood Reporter that they feared he was falling apart mentally amid rumors of his financial troubles. 'Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose,' a former team member told the outlet. 'He's lost,' the former colleague continued. 'There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.'

‘Not just a party': World Pride celebrations end with defiant politics on display
WASHINGTON — After the raucous rainbow-hued festivities of Saturday's parade, the final day of World Pride 2025 in the nation's capital kicked off on a more downbeat note. More than 1,000 people gathered under gray skies Sunday morning at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally that will lead into a protest march, as the community gathers its strength for a looming fight under President Trump's second administration. 'This is not just a party,' Ashley Smith, board president of Capital Pride Alliance. 'This is a rally for our lives.' Smith acknowledged that international attendance numbers for the biannual World Pride were measurably down, with many potential attendees avoiding travel to the U.S. because of either fear of harassment or in protest of Trump's policies. 'That should disturb us and mobilize us,' Smith said. More than 1,000 people cheered on LGBTQ+ activists taking the stage while waving traditional Pride flags and flags representing transgender, bisexual, intersex and other communities. Many had rainbow glitter and rhinestones adorning their faces. They held signs declaring, 'Fight back,' 'Gay is good,' 'Ban bombs not bathrooms' and 'We will not be erased.' Trump's campaign against transgender protections and oft-stated antipathy for drag shows have set the community on edge, with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response. 'Trans people just want to be loved. Everybody wants to live their own lives and I don't understand the problem with it all,' said Tyler Cargill, who came wearing an elaborate costume with a hat topped by a replica of the U.S. Capitol building. Wes Kincaid drove roughly six hours from Charlotte, N.C., to attend this year. Sitting on a park bench near the reflecting pond, Kincaid said he made a point of attending this year, 'because it's more important than ever to show up for our community.' Reminders of the cuts to federal government programs were on full display Sunday. One attendee waved a massive rainbow flag affixed on the same staff as a large USAID flag; another held a 'Proud gay federal worker' sign; and a third held an umbrella with the logos of various federal programs facing cuts — including the PBS logo. Trump's anti-trans rhetoric had fueled fears of violence or protests targeting World Pride participants; at one point earlier this spring, rumors circulated that the Proud Boys were planning to disrupt this weekend's celebrations. Those concerns prompted organizers to install security fencing around the entire two-day street party on a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. But so far, the only clear act of aggression has been the vandalizing of a queer bar last week. Late Saturday night, there was a pair of violent incidents near Dupont Circle — one of the epicenters of the World Pride celebrations. Two juveniles were stabbed and a man was shot in the foot in separate incidents. The Metropolitan Police Department says it is not clear if either incident was directly related to World Pride. Fernando, Hussein, Martin and Pesoli write for the Associated Press.
