The outing sparked speculation that Fonda split from Elfman, who was previously accused of sexual abuse and harassment. In 2017, pianist Nomi Abadi claimed she was sexually harassed by the star, who she accused of stripping naked and masturbating in front of her. Elfman denied those claims; however, he reportedly settled the lawsuit she filed against him for $830,000 in 2018. 15 Bridget Fonda and Danny Elfman in 2002.

Her lawsuit accused Elfman of allegedly 'grooming' her when she was 21 and a student at the New York Film Academy in 1997. Elfman denied the accusations against him, with his spokesperson telling The Hollywood Reporter: 'The allegations of misconduct made against Mr. Elfman are baseless and absurd. His legal team is assessing all options and he will vigorously defend these claims in court.' 15 Danny Elfman at the 2023 Burbank International Film Festival.

GE2025: What the main political parties' manifestos say about housing in Singapore
SINGAPORE: With Polling Day approaching, housing has once again taken centre stage in Singapore's political debate, prompting parties to unveil a range of proposals aimed at easing public concerns. CNA looks at the key measures from the major contesting parties that have released their manifestos, on how they intend to tackle issues ranging from the waiting time for Build-to-Order (BTO) flats, affordability of public housing and the age criteria for the Singles' scheme. The People's Alliance for Reform, which is contesting the joint-fourth-highest number of seats, has not released its manifesto. PEOPLE'S ACTION PARTY Build more than 50,000 new flats over the next three years and increase the number of flats with shorter waiting time. More public housing options for higher-income couples and singles. Keep flats in choice locations within reach of more applicants, such as new housing estates in Kallang-Whampoa, Bayshore, and Mount Pleasant. Plan for the rejuvenation of Housing and Development Board (HDB) towns through the Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS). WORKERS' PARTY The WP dedicate a section of their manifesto to proposed housing policies for both first-time applicants and long-time home owners. For first-timers, the party suggests that the house price-to-income ratio be based on the median income levels of new homeowners, rather than national household median income. It proposes that HDB offer 70-year lease BTO flats at a lower price, with the option to top up the lease by another 29 years, as well as a universal buy-back scheme for all ageing HDB flats. The WP also calls for transparency on the 'terms of reference and assumptions' guiding the chief valuer's work in the area of land valuation. RED DOT UNITED Make every HDB estate eligible for the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme. Expand public rental housing and introduce a rent-to-own scheme for the bottom 20 per cent of income-earners or young, single Singaporeans. Restrict permanent residents and new citizens of less than 10 years – except those who have completed National Service – from purchasing resale flats with less than 79 years of lease remaining. PROGRESS SINGAPORE PARTY Replace the current BTO scheme with PSP's Affordable Homes Scheme, where buyers will not pay for land costs unless the flat is sold on the resale market. Allow singles to buy BTO flats and resale flats from the age of 28. Introduce a Millennial Apartments Scheme where HDB provides young couples and singles with high-quality apartments to rent at affordable rates. Build more public flats ahead of demand to reduce waiting time. SINGAPORE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Implement a new Non-Open Market scheme, which will lower public housing prices as the cost of an HDB flat will include only the cost of construction and administration, not land cost. Introduce a Young Families Priority Scheme to give balloting priority to first-timer families with children, or couples looking for Sale of Balance Flats or new BTO flats in non-mature estates. Allow single-parent families and low-income households to rent flats for two years at a time, without being subject to reviews every few months.

Filmmaker-music journalist Cameron Crowe has a memoir out this fall. It's called ‘The Uncool'
Cameron Crowe was planning to compile some of his old music interviews for a book when he realized he had a more intimate story to tell. Avid Reader Press announced Thursday that the Oscar-winning filmmaker and onetime Rolling Stone journalist will have a memoir out Oct. 28. It's called 'The Uncool.' 'I spent the last decade or so re-interviewing those early subjects like ( David) Bowie and Fleetwood Mac,Joni Mitchell and Led Zeppelin,' Crowe told The Associated Press in a recent email. 'The act of looking back on their younger selves brought out the same in me. The book split into two, the first one being a personal memoir. The second one will come out next year, with a lot of new interview material.' Crowe, 67, is known for such films as 'Jerry Maguire,' 'Singles' and 'Almost Famous,' a fictionalized take on his years in the 1970s as a teen contributor to Rolling Stone that brought him an Academy Award for best original screenplay. Crowe is also the author of 'Conversations with Wilder,' a book of interviews with director Billy Wilder. According to Avid Reader, a Simon & Schuster imprint, Crowe's memoir will offer 'a front-row ticket to the 1970s.' 'He spends his teens dodging bouncers and turning down cocaine from roadies and rock stars,' the publisher's statement reads in part. 'He talks his San Diego City College journalism teacher into giving him class credit for his road trip covering Led Zeppelin's 1975 tour, which lands him — and the band — on the front cover of Rolling Stone. He embeds with publicity-shy David Bowie for eighteen months as the sequestered genius transforms himself: 'Young enough to be honest!' Bowie declares of Crowe.'
