Jennifer Lopez pays tribute to classic Hollywood musicals in Kiss Of A Spider Woman. Watch trailer
Jennifer Lopez is coming back to the silver screen with the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a musical, something that brings together two of the things she is most passionate about: singing and acting. Director Bill Condon and the producers seem to be cashing in on the success of Wicked last year, which earned over Rs 400 crore worldwide and have already released the trailer for the sequel. The trailer opens up by focusing on Ingrid Luna's (Jennifer) lavish Hollywood lifestyle and two of her admirers talking about her musical Kiss Of A Spider Woman. The film is based on the stage musical of the same name by Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb. At the centre of it are two characters stuck in an Argentinian prison, who slowly form an intimate bond. The two men, Valentin and Luis, are played by Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, respectively.

Ingrid is seen performing different musical numbers as the two men fantasise about being a part of her life, or more precisely a part of the musical. Valentin can later be seen settling well into his revolutionary ideals, as he evolves into a beacon of anti-establishment now armed with movies and storytelling. The film keeps going back and forth between the glamour of the musical and the true lives of the men, which are grim beyond repair. Luis gains freedom like in the original story and joins the revolution started by Valentin and is seen getting in trouble, which will likely be the end for him just like in the novel. Helmed by Academy Award winner Bill Cordon, the cast of the film also includes Josefina Scaglione and Tony Dovolani.

College Decision Day: New Rochelle students celebrate unique plans for the future
On a sunny Thursday morning, a gaggle of seniors flooded onto the New Rochelle High School football field to celebrate National College Decision Day, when students all over the Lower Hudson Valley, and the country, celebrate the college or university they've chosen. Some students took photos wearing shirts from their soon-to-be schools, representing places like Mercy University, Iona University, Binghamton University, University of Pennsylvania and many more. But for some other soon-to-be graduates, College Decision Day was about celebrating a unique path they'll be taking come fall 2025. Dylan Kelly, for instance, is heading to aeronautical school after he graduates. He started flying planes at the age of 15, having been interested in becoming a pilot since he was a kid. 'I always thought that flying planes was a really remarkable career,' Kelly said. 'During COVID, I wanted to fulfill my dreams of becoming a pilot, and I went to an aviation exposition event at Westchester County Airport, and the rest is pretty much history.' Kelly earned his private pilot license earlier this year. He's heading to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida in the fall, where he'll major in aeronautical sciences and work toward his airline transport license, which would allow him to pilot commercial and corporate flights. 'What I'm doing is very special to me, and not a lot of people get the chance to do that,' Kelly said. 'Nobody should take (that) for granted.' Another senior, Lauren Bryan, is heading to Cornell in the fall to pursue scientific research, but her journey has already started. She began doing research through the high school's science research program and the past two summers, she worked with a mentor at New York State Psychiatric Institute. This helped her become one of 200 Rawlings Cornell Presidential Research Scholars, a special research program that comes with an $8,000 stipend to support her work at Cornell. 'I felt like Cornell was the best choice for me because of their human development program,' Bryan said. 'It encompasses a lot of different aspects. So like, social aspects, biological. There are some classes you can take in neuroscience. Also law and history.' Emery Valentin has unique post-graduation plans, too. Accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology's Footwear and Accessories Design bachelor of fine arts program in Manhattan, Valentin will continue to hone the sneaker-designing skills he first began learning five years ago. After his dad attended a sneaker-making class in Los Angeles, the two began designing sneakers together — an artistic endeavor that can encompass anything from customizing an existing shoe to building one themselves. 'I really want to take advantage of FIT,' Valentin said. 'I really want to learn the process of making my own sneaker, my own silhouette.' 'There's great value in having something that's yours — your own design, something that's unique to you,' he added. Another student, Savanna Lily DiFatta, is also pursuing artistic plans after high school. DiFatta, the daughter of local balloon artist Jenn DiFatta, started her own business in January selling floral arrangements. 'I know for sure at this point in my life what I'm meant to do, and it's not sit in a classroom,' DiFatta said. After graduation, she wants to learn more about flowers and how to help her floral business, Savanna's Lillies, grow. So she's planning to take business classes at Westchester Community College starting in the fall, in conjunction with classes at the Bronx Botanical Garden. From there, she'll pursue her business license. 'Since I was little, I always knew I wanted to be my own boss," DiFatta said. I knew that entrepreneurship was a thing for me, and I knew that I was always going to be creative and wanted to work with my hands. This is exactly what I want to do.'

New England serial killer rumors emerge after eighth body found
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Rumors of a New England serial killer are swirling online, and some people are speculating that a body found in Springfield earlier this week, could be connected to others found across the region. Two bodies discovered in woods near Salem Walmart Authorities are investigating the death of a woman found unresponsive off a bike path near the Connecticut Riverfront on Tuesday. This woman's name and age have not been released, but her death follows seven others between March and April in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Human remains, mostly of women, have been found in New Haven, Connecticut, Norwalk, Groton, Killingly, Foster, Rhode Island, Framingham, Plymouth, and now Springfield. Authorities have not announced any connection between the deaths, and Dr. Peter Valentin from the University of New Haven says there is not enough known physical evidence to link them. 'We really wanna be careful about how we interpret the forensic evidence that we're recovering, and that tends to be the most difficult thing not to overinterpret the evidence that we recover,' said Dr. Valentin. Initial rumors spread through a New England serial killer Facebook group, where users say these remains could indicate a serial killer, but experts say just because victims were located at the same time does not mean they died at the same time, or the same way. The Springfield Police Department have not determined whether this eighth woman's death was a homicide, but 22News will continue to follow this story. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

New England serial killer fears heighten after eighth idyllic town rocked by gruesome discovery
Massachusetts authorities are investigating the death of a woman found unresponsive off a bike path in Springfield on Tuesday. Springfield Police Department spokesperson Ryan Walsh said officers responded to reports of an unresponsive person near a bike path at the 1500 block of Hall of Fame Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered a woman who was pronounced dead shortly after. "The SPD Homicide Unit under the direction Captain Trent Duda is conducting an unattended death investigation in conjunction with the @HampdenDA Murder Unit, pending an autopsy by the Medical Examiner," Walsh said. The woman's death comes amid rumors circulating online about a possible New England serial killer following the deaths of seven and now eight people, mostly women, between March and April in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. As of Wednesday, authorities have not announced any kind of connection between the eight victims' deaths. Walsh told Fox News Digital that the woman's cause of death will be determined by a medical examiner, and added that "internet rumors are just that." The rumors began circulating on a Facebook group called "New England Serial Killer," which has since changed its name due to Facebook rules and regulations. Over the last two months, human remains have been located in New Haven, Norwalk, Groton and Killingly, Connecticut; Foster, Rhode Island; and Framingham, Plymouth and now Springfield, Massachusetts. Some social media users say these discoveries of human remains — particularly, female remains — across the three neighboring states may indicate a serial killer. But Connecticut State Police told Fox News Digital last week that "there is no information at this time suggesting any connection to similar remains discoveries, and there is also no known threat to the public at this time," regarding the deaths in Connecticut. Peter Valentin, chair of the Forensic Science Department at the University of New Haven's Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences, told Fox News Digital the fact that police responded to reports of an unresponsive person "is strongly suggestive of someone who did not have any post-mortem artifacts that would negate the need to check for vital signs needed to make a pronouncement." "If someone is in full rigor mortis, there is no need to try to find a pulse because the presence of rigor mortis means they are unequivocally dead. So this is a very recent death, unlike the others that are being attributed to the [New England serial killer," Valentin said. While some of the remains found across the three New England states over the last two months were intact bodies that have been identified, others were degraded to the point that it will take time for authorities to identify who the victims were. In other words, while the remains were located over the span of two months, that does not indicate the victims died around the same time. Valentin noted that Springfield police have not yet determined whether the woman's death was a homicide. "I am curious about what was recovered around the body," he said. "There might have been paraphernalia suggestive of activity that is deemphasizing homicide (perhaps incorrectly) to the investigators because that article is quite tepid. It is filled with very cautious language (surely taken right from police press releases), which might be intentional to not feed into what is now turning into intense scrutiny over every suspicious death in New England." At least four of the victims in these eight cases — two in Connecticut, one in Rhode Island and now one in Massachusetts — have been identified as women. Police also believe the victim found in Killingly, Connecticut, was a woman in her 40s to 60s, though her identity has not been confirmed. The New England Serial Killer Facebook group, which now has 65,300 members, has garnered more than 15,000 new members this month, as first reported. Searches for "New England serial killer" on Google spiked around April 7, according to data from the search engine.
