"I'm pregnant. I found out this morning on Facebook, double the good news. I apparently announced that I'm pregnant with twins, not just one.

‘The Phoenician Scheme' review: Wes Anderson and Co. embark on an elaborate save-a-soul mission
A peculiar tension exists inside nearly every frame created by writer-director Wes Anderson. The geometric visual preoccupation of the framing; the actors, sometimes in motion but more frequently motionless; the manifestation of storytelling as a series of the prettiest shoebox dioramas in modern cinema: It's more than a style or a look to Anderson. It's his way of seeing the world through a lens of comic stoicism, right at the edge of art-installation territory. The tension in those images comes from two places. The unfortunate place: When the comic banter or monologuing strains for laughs, or goes sideways, it sometimes dies an extra, tiny, momentary death because of the arch, extreme formality of the presentation. The more fortunate source of tension is where the actors live. In Anderson's lavishly talented ensembles, the majority of the performers fulfill the basic requirements of being in a Wes Anderson movie, which can involve spitting out long reams of dialogue quickly, directly, without a lot of sauce. It also involves the task of portraying a human in a specific realm of unreality and in a kind of permanent repose, even in motion. But hitting the marks and holding the pose isn't enough. There's movement, of course, in every Anderson comedy, and in the best ones, the movement and the sight gags are funnier because of the stillness surrounding that movement. Whatever you want to call Anderson's universe — I'll go with Deadpandia — it's not easy to activate as a performer. When the right actor wriggles free of the constraints and finds a rhythm, a heartbeat and a human spark, it's magic. Benicio Del Toro is the star of 'The Phoenician Scheme,' Anderson's 12th and latest. But the ringer is Michael Cera, as Norwegian tutor Bjørn Lund, employed as an all-purpose factotum by the shady, swaggering, death-defying entrepreneur played by Del Toro. In one go, Cera joins the top tier of Anderson alums, which includes Ralph Fiennes ('The Grand Budapest Hotel,' 'The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar') and, from Anderson's earlier, looser years, Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston ('The Royal Tenenbaums') and, of course, Bill Murray in everything (he has a brief cameo here, as God). Cera is terrifically subtle in everything he does, from pricelessly cheap dialect humor to sudden bursts of jealousy. He's delightful, even if 'The Phoenician Scheme' is only occasionally that. The movie's largely about other characters. A frequent target of assassins, forever surviving plane crashes in between business deals, Anatole 'Zsa-zsa' Korda (Del Toro) embarks on the riskiest development project of his life, indicated by Anderson's title. It consists of a dam, tunnels, a canal and a general colonialist ravaging of a desert region (fictional, but with plenty of real-world Middle Eastern inspirations). Funding this beast means negotiating with several investors, among them a French nightclub owner (Mathieu Amalric), a pair of American industrialists (Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston) and, above all, Korda's estranged daughter, Liesl, a cynical novitiate and Korda's intended heiress, played by Mia Threapleton. 'The Phoenician Scheme' is a tale of what money can buy, and what money can't. Stringing episodes together, screenwriter Anderson (working from a story co-created by Roman Coppola) treats Korda as a cocky survivor of fabulous riches. Through his adventures in fundraising, and realization that he won't last forever, Korda learns from Liesl a little about what makes a legacy important. Meantime, he negotiates family matters with his 10 young sons and his scowling brother, Uncle Nubar (Benedict Cumberbatch), who may be Liesl's father, and whose massive woodcut of a beard comes straight from Orson Welles' billionaire in 'Mr. Arkadin.' The overall vibe of fishy exoticism owes something to 'Mr. Arkadin' as well. Anderson works here with a cinematographer new to him, the excellent Bruno Delbonnel, shooting on 35mm film. Anderson regulars Adam Stockhausen (production design, first-rate) and Milena Canonero (costume design, brilliant and vibrant as always) evoke a dreamlike 1950s setting in every soundstage-bound detail. And the story? Well, it has a little problem with over-elaboration. 'The Phoenician Scheme' follows a relatively straightforward narrative line, ticking off chapters as Korda addresses each of his prized (and literal) shoeboxes of research and minutiae regarding the massively disruptive, slave labor-dependent construction project. It's easier to parse what's going on here compared to the hyperlinking and layering of 'The French Dispatch' and 'Asteroid City.' But the protagonist is a bit of a bore. And somehow, right now, on planet Earth in 2025, a movie about a craven oligarch on a spree hits a mixed chord, let's say. It is, however, striking to see what happens in the epilogue of this up-and-down Anderson film, when Del Toro — who looks splendid but struggles to locate a lightness of touch the material could use — finally gets a few moments of on-screen relaxation in the epilogue. That's by design: He is not the same person at the end of his story. But I wonder if Anderson erred in maintaining such a tight hold on Del Toro and Threapleton en route to the story destination. A beautiful mixed bag, let's say, all told. But I'll see 'The Phoenician Scheme' a second time sometime for Cera, who will surely return to the Anderson fold. 'The Phoenician Scheme' — 2.5 stars (out of 4) MPA rating: PG-13 (for violent content, bloody images, some sexual material, nude images, and smoking throughout) Running time: 1:45 How to watch: Premieres in theaters June 6

Pre-Schoolers Cut Off 4-Year-Old's Hair, Mom Knows What to Do Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mother's act of solidarity with her young daughter has left the internet deeply moved, after she cut off her long blonde hair to match her 4-year-old's—whose first haircut was the result of a distressing encounter with classmates. Alexis Salerno (@lexfsal) shared on TikTok that the incident took place during a Valentine's Day party she hosted for her daughter, two friends, and their nannies. During the gathering, the children gained access to a pair of craft scissors. "The girls got a hold of a pair of craft scissors from the craft station and cut my daughter's hair. My daughter is a bit shy and the youngest in the group. She shared with us that while she didn't tell them to stop in the moment, she didn't want her hair to be cut. This was my daughter's first hair cut, her hair was down to her lower back, I was distraught looking at her soft baby curls on the floor," Salerno told Newsweek. In the wake of the incident, Salerno said she called her husband home from work and the two took their daughter to a local salon, Salon Dada, hoping to give her a proper experience of a "first haircut." While there wasn't much to shape or salvage, the stylists did their best to make it a positive memory. But the emotional impact lingered. Salerno said that once her daughter realized her long hair wasn't coming back overnight, she became inconsolable. "Many evenings she cried and asked her daddy to draw hair on her back, asked if he could make it grow back and would cry in the evenings before bed saying 'I don't feel like myself, I miss myself. I don't like my little hair. Mommy how do you spell please don't ever cut my hair again friends?'" she said. Seeing her daughter struggle, Salerno decided to take a bold step. Her own hair, waist-length for her entire life, was chopped into a chin-length bob. "When I picked her up from school with my bob, her face lit up. She was SO excited. She ran over and gave me a big hug. Now she says we both have 'little hair' and she matches mommy," she said. To help her daughter embrace the change, Salerno and her husband celebrated the new look with intention: they bought her a Barbie doll with a pixie cut, listened to singer Pink, and talked about strong women with short hair—from actresses to Olympic athletes. "My husband and I did everything we could to celebrate her new 'do... and continued to tell her how special she was no matter the length of her hair and that being different is cool," Salerno said.

"I'm actually really liking the shorter locks, it feels freeing and it's nice to have a change after 30+ years of the same style," she said. The emotional video transformation resonated widely, earning 143,900 likes and over 2.6 million views on TikTok. Salerno was surprised by the overwhelming response, especially as a newcomer to the platform. "The social media reaction has been wild! I'm new to TikTok and honestly still learning how to use the platform. People are generally being so kind and supportive," she said. However, she also addressed a misconception that the incident occurred in a school setting, clarifying. "Other people are assuming this happened in school and are blaming the teacher they think is responsible for allowing this to happen. I've commented to clarify this happened outside of school," she said. Despite the distressing nature of the situation, Salerno said she's grateful no one was hurt and sees it as a chance to teach her daughter resilience. "I fully understand these are young kids and mistakes happen, I think everyone has learned from it. We have been able to teach our girl about resilience at a young age and that we've got her no matter what life throws at her," she said. The TikTok comments reflect the emotional impact of her story. "You remind me of Julianne Hough when she plays in Safe Haven. Absolutely beautiful!" said Kadee. "Omg this length was MADE for you!! It makes you look like pure sunshine," said Megan. "That hair cut just took 10 years off you! You look fantastic," added Amanda. Some users shared similar experiences or chimed in with insight. "For those of you surprised this can happen, I don't think you understand the quickness that children can be with scissors. I'm a pediatric goatee and I can't tell you the amount of times kids have cut their own hair while I was 3 inches away. THEY ARE FAST," said Jacqueline. "Another preschooler took a huge chunk off the side of my daughter's long beautiful blonde hair I couldn't look at the mom for the rest of preschool," one mother shared.

Ex-Trump Aide Spells Out How Elon Musk Could Gain Ultimate Revenge On The President
Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin explained Wednesday why she believes tech billionaire Elon Musk could now actually 'tank Donald Trump's entire legislative agenda.' Griffin, a co-host on ABC's 'The View,' warned that Musk's vocal opposition to Trump's so-called 'big, beautiful' spending bill could sway Republicans in Congress, especially those worried about the consequences to their seats if they cross the world's richest person. Musk recently slammed the bill as a 'disgusting abomination' for how it will hike the national debt. He had previously staked his reputation on slashing federal spending in his now-ended role running Trump's unofficial Department of Government Efficiency. Trump, for now, has remained silent on Musk's criticism. Griffin, who served in the Trump administration during his first term, noted how the bill has measures on energy, border security and extends Trump's tax cuts. 'If Republicans decide, 'Oooh, we don't want to get on the wrong side of Elon,' that is what Donald Trump is banking it all on,' she continued. 'And that is kind of devastating for his administration.' 'On the flip side, those Republicans, if you're in a House district, you're like, 'I'm afraid of Donald Trump,' but Elon Musk, because of the dark money system we live in, he can come in and primary you by just pouring millions and millions into your race.' All Musk needs to do, she suggested, is 'peel off a handful of Republicans' to tip the balance of power in the House.
