Vin Diesel has claims dismissed in sexual abuse lawsuit
Vin Diesel has succeeded in his bid to get a court to throw out four employment discrimination claims against him. The Fast & Furious actor still faces allegations of sexual battery and wrongful termination brought by a former assistant. Asta Jonasson sued Diesel in 2023, alleging he had pinned her against a wall in a hotel suite and performed a sex act in front of her. The alleged incident occurred in 2010, which would ordinarily put it beyond the statute of limitations but in 2023, the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act revived certain expired claims of sexual assault dating back to 2009. In a ruling on Tuesday, a judge decreed that the law extending the statute of limitations did not apply to an administrative complaint. Therefore, he found that four of Jonasson's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. Jonasson has also filed claims of retaliation, wrongful termination, sexual battery, negligent supervision and retention and infliction of emotional distress. None of those allegations were affected by the judge's order. The Fast X star's lawyer adamantly denied the claims when they were first filed. "There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations," he said at the time.

Stars convene for amfAR gala to raise millions for AIDS research
ANTIBES, France -- Artwork by Adrien Brody and James Franco and a chance to sit courtside at a Knicks game with director Spike Lee were among the starry offerings at the annual amfAR Gala to raise money for AIDS research. Held at the famous Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes on Thursday, the evening attracted scores of celebrities in the area for the Cannes Film Festival. Guests included Brody, Lee, Colman Domingo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, and Heidi Klum. This year's top items for sale included a Dodge Charger that featured in 'Fast X,' sold off by Rodriguez, raising 475,000 euros ($536,843). There were also some Chopard pear-shaped, yellow-diamond earrings that reached 400,000 ($452,005) euros in the bidding. During the meal guests were also entertained with musical performances from Ciara, who opened the night, Adam Lambert and headlining the dinner with Duran Duran. Guest shimmied from their tables to the front of the room to stand in front of the stage and sing along to hits like 'Notorious' and 'View to a Kill' (which wouldn't be the only James Bond reference of the night). The sale included artwork from Brody — sold for 375,000 euros ($423,755) with lunch with the star thrown in — and Franco — (sold for 325,000 euros ($367,254) also with a lunch offered with the winning bid. Another highlight was a May 2025 George Condo painting that raised 1.15 million euros ($1.26 million). Lee came to the stage and offered a surprise lot, a walk-on part in his next movie. Part of the way through the bidding he added tickets to sit next to him courtside at a New York Nicks game next season, driving the price up to 400,000 euros ($452,005). The fashion show is a regular feature of the auction curated by Carine Roitfeld, this year was Bond-inspired and saw 27 models turn the middle of the dinning room into a catwalk as they paraded through the room waving at guests they recognized and posing for photos on route. The collection made 450,000 euros ($508,505) for the charity, auctioned off as one complete lot. The Foundation for AIDS Research, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and advocacy. Since 1985, amfAR has raised nearly $950 million (841 million euros) in support of its programs and has awarded more than 3,800 grants to research teams worldwide. ___ Louise Dixon has covered the amfAR gala for more than a decade. Among most memorable items she's seen sold at auction are a game of soccer with David Beckham and his friends, a private dinner performance from Andrea Bocelli at his family home and lunch with Robert De Niro that combined have raised more than 2 million euros. ___
