(NEXSTAR) — Thinking of getting started on holiday shopping? This week, Apple Music announced the release of a new coffee table book that’s sure to entice many hardcore music fans. It’ll only cost you $450. The book, “Apple Music: 100 Best Albums,” was created in partnership with luxury lifestyle publisher Assouline, who describes the item as, “A celebration of Apple Music’s inaugural list of the greatest records ever made, [the book] is a lasting companion piece to the digital initiative, which launched on the streaming service in 2024.” Denzel Washington to star in ‘Black Panther 3’ before he retires (Credit: Apple Music/Assouline) Only 1,500 copies of the book will be produced and each comes with a custom engraved number, Assouline says. The book will feature an exploration of the albums named to Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list, which sparked fierce debate (and derision) when the first batch of albums on the list were revealed back in May. While Apple Music has been careful to underline that the list, which was decided upon by music industry experts and artists (including Pharrell Williams and Charli XCX), is

Leon Bridges on new album Leon Bridges on new album, tour and staying grounded in Texas roots 07:20 Leon Bridges, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, is back on tour following the release of his fourth album, “Leon,” a project he describes as a “love letter” to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. Bridges kicked off the tour in September at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Bridges spent his early days playing at open mic nights in Fort Worth. His first gig outside of his hometown was at C-Boys Heart & Soul in Austin. “I had so much anxiety going into it,” Bridges said while visiting C-Boys.  While taking every chance to perform, Bridges was also working as a dishwasher.He used the encouragement he received at open mics as fuel to keep going.  “A lot of people back home would say, ‘One day, you’re gonna make it,'” he said.  With his’ latest album, “Leon,” he’s returning that hometown love and  capturing the journey back to his roots.  “I wanted to make an album that was a reflection of the version of myself, like when I’m not in

LaGuardia Airport named Best U.S. Airport by Forbes Travel Guide LaGuardia Airport named Best U.S. Airport by Forbes Travel Guide 00:27 Apple is rolling out a new feature designed to make it easier for passengers — and airlines — to retrieve misplaced bags. The new function, called Share Item Location, is available as part of the public beta of iOS 18.2, and is coming soon to iPhone X and newer models as a free software update.  The link will let passengers share their AirTag locations with more than 15 airlines, including Delta and United, to help both parties track down mishandled or delayed bags more efficiently. More airlines will sign on, over time, Apple noted.  Partner airlines will be able to accept AirTag owners’ Share Item Location links in a secure manner, Apple said.   “Access to each link will be limited to a small number of people, and recipients will be required to authenticate in order to view the link through either their Apple Account or partner email address,” the tech giant said.  The new feature aims to help passengers and airlines locate their

Biden meeting with Israeli President Herzog Biden meeting with Israeli President Herzog as concerns continue over Gaza aid 05:03 President Biden is meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House Tuesday, as the two leaders discuss the conflict with Lebanon, the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the hostages still held by Hamas.  The meeting is only on the schedule for an hour, ahead of a scheduled lunch with Vice President Kamala Harris. The president will also be meeting with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto Tuesday afternoon.  The Biden administration is hoping to further peace goals before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he’s spoken multiple times in the last week with Trump.  Mr. Biden welcomed Herzog to the Oval Office, declining to take questions from reporters. Herzog brought Mr. Biden a gift, an artifact from the foot of Temple Mount in Jerusalem.  Herzog lamented the death of two Israelis who were killed in the Israeli city of Nahariya by rockets fired from Lebanon and described Iran as an “evil empire.”  “First and foremost we have to get the hostages

It’s nearly the middle of November, which means the holiday season is about to be in full swing. Shoppers in one of the most popular spots in Los Angeles will soon be able to celebrate the holidays alongside a 100-foot tall Christmas tree. The Grove’s tree arrived to the outdoor shopping destination on Tuesday, where a massive operation took place to install it. Erica Tuttle, The Grove’s property manager, told KTLA’s Annie Rose Ramos that the tree, a white pine, is 80 years old and comes from Mt. Shasta, more than 10 hours away. Meanwhile, massive cranes were preparing to lift the tree up and into its new resting spot. “We’re ready to get it going,” she said.

November 12, 2024 / 11:19 AM EST / CBS/AP San Diego could soon get an MLS team San Diego could soon get an MLS team 04:15 Ecuador and FC Cincinnati player Marco Angulo has died from injuries he sustained in a car crash that also killed his former youth team teammate Roberto Cabezas, the Ecuadorian Football Association said on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Angulo was a passenger in the car that crashed into a metal barrier on the Rumiñahui highway southeast of Quito on Oct. 7. The driver and Cabezas, who played for Independiente Juniors, were killed in the incident. Angulo was left with serious head injuries and a lung contusion. He was placed in an artificial coma but died from the injuries on Monday night, the El Universo newspaper reported. Angulo played for Ecuadorian league champion L.D.U. Quito on loan from MLS team FC Cincinnati. In a statement, FC Cincinnati said it was “heartbroken” to share the news of Angulo’s death.

A man was fatally shot at a homeless encampment in the Panorama City area, and police Tuesday sought the public’s help to solve the crime. Officers were sent to Orion Avenue and Rayen Street at about 10:50 a.m. Monday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. “When officers arrived, they found the victim in an encampment on an embankment of the 405 Freeway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” an LAPD statement said. The man, in his 30s, was taken to a hospital, where he died. Information on his identity was not immediately available. “No arrests have been made and there is no suspect information at this time,” the police statement said. Anyone with information about the case was urged to call Operations Valley Bureau detectives at 818-374-9550, or 877-LAPD-247. Tipsters may also call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, or use the website www.lacrimestoppers.org.

Citing his age, Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys want an expedited trial of the lawsuit filed by the same accuser who helped bring about the disgraced producer’s criminal conviction for a 2013 sexual assault at a Beverly Hills hotel. The plaintiff is identified as Jane Doe No. 1 in the Santa Monica Superior Court lawsuit filed in February 2023, alleging sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. On Nov. 5, Weinstein’s lawyers filed court papers with Judge Elaine W. Mandel asking that his trial begin within 120 days if she grants the motion for a speedy trial. No trial date is currently set. “Even in the absence of a medical diagnosis, Mr. Weinstein would be entitled to trial preference, since it is well established that incarceration shortens life expectancy, and he has already outlived the average life expectancy of a prisoner in the United States,” Weinstein’s lawyers argue in their heavily redacted court papers that note the producer is 72 years old. As the sole defendant in the case, Weinstein has a significant interest in the case because he faces a potential judgment

Anyone in Los Angeles will be able to digitally hail a Waymo robotaxi beginning Tuesday, but don’t expect the driverless vehicle to jump onto a freeway. Waymo announced it will begin Waymo One service in Los Angeles County but will limit its vehicles to surface streets, where the startup owned by Google’s parent, Alphabet, has been testing the sensor-laden cars for months with a limited group of passengers. The service can now be accessed by the public 24 hours a day on its app. Los Angeles officials have been skeptical, seeking more safety oversight of the vehicles as future growth looms and unions raise concerns about job losses. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom this year vetoed legislation that would have required driverless car companies to report more data on crashes. “Now is an exciting time to welcome everyone in Los Angeles along for the ride,” Tekedra Mawakana, co-chief executive of Waymo, said in an announcement. “Our service has matured quickly and our riders are embracing the many benefits of fully autonomous driving.” The company estimates that its fleet of more than 700 vehicles completes over

Nov. 12, 2024 6:54 AM PT 1 The Miami Dolphins defeated the Rams 23-15 on Monday night at SoFi Stadium. Here is what we learned from a loss that dropped the Rams’ record to 4-5: 2 The offense could not reach the end zone The Rams failed to score a touchdown for the first time since last season, when they lost 20-3 at Green Bay. But that happened with former backup Brett Rypien playing in place of injured Matthew Stafford. Monday marked the first time the Rams failed to reach the end zone with Stafford under center since a 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 3, 2022. It’s not like the Rams did not have opportunities. Every time they appeared on their way, however, they committed a turnover, gave up a sack or they were called for a penalty. “We’ve got to be able to look at it and we’ve got to consistently figure out what’s the best way to put our guys in the right kinds of spots,” coach Sean McVay said. “And trying to be able to figure out some

Gusty winds are back in SoCal after a bit of a break over the weekend.  When describing the wind Tuesday morning in the San Fernando Valley, KTLA 5’s Carlos Herrera stated simply: “You can hear it, you can see it and you can feel it.”  In their area forecast discussion, the National Weather Service stated that “gusty northerly winds” will be felt throughout the region. Those gusts could reach up to 40 miles per hour in some places, the NWS said.  KTLA 5 meteorologist Henry DiCarlo reiterated that wind speeds will likely be highest in Ventura County – where the Mountain Fire is currently burning – and western L.A. County.  Other communities may experience cooler temperatures due to the shifting wind patterns.  Car lands on balcony of Southern California home after wild crash “Often times, we will have strong winds with wind advisories, fire concerns and then we’ll get pockets that are shaded and protected by the winds where we’ll get a freeze advisory,” DiCarlo said. “When the air is still, the cold air has a chance to settle…when you factor in the wind, you

WASHINGTON  —  Before he was reelected, President Trump openly threatened to use — or abuse — his power by ordering federal prosecutors to pursue criminal cases against those he deems enemies. There’s little in the law that would stop him. That’s because the Supreme Court has made clear the Constitution gives the president total authority over how to enforce federal law. Since the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s, the Justice Department has sought to separate law enforcement from politics, and keep the White House at a distance. But that separation is a matter of department policy, not the law. “It’s the norm and the custom. It’s embedded in the U.S. attorneys manual,” said Washington lawyer Stuart Gerson, a former acting U.S. attorney general. “But under the ‘unitary executive’ theory, it is not illegal for the president to intervene in individual cases. It’s just a terrible idea.” The late Justice Antonin Scalia popularized the unitary executive theory, dissenting in 1988 when the court upheld the independent counsels that had been created by Congress. Scalia believed the Constitution put all the executive power in the hands

WASHINGTON —  Marco Rubio, the combative and hawkish Republican senator from Florida, is expected to be President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of State, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday. Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, was once a challenger to and critic of Trump, but has become a staunch defender and campaign surrogate. He was considered as Trump’s running mate, a post that eventually went to Vice President-elect JD Vance. Neither Trump nor Rubio camps commented on the reports. An announcement was expected later Tuesday as Trump quickly pieces together a government. Rubio is a hardliner on issues involving the leftist governments of Cuba and Venezuela, and also on Iran. He’s also a veteran lawmaker with legislative skills that could prove useful to Trump. And with many friends and allies on Capitol Hill, his Senate confirmation should come easily. Rubio would become the first Latino secretary of State and likely highest ranking Latino in the Trump administration. More to Read

Who’s house? Nobody’s home. The Rams threw a Monday night party that filled SoFi Stadium with celebrities, legends, pop stars … almost everything you need for a nationally televised Hollywood football bash. The only thing missing was them. The stage was set for the Rams to prove their championship legitimacy … yet they didn’t show. The football world was eagerly awaiting a sizzling appearance from one of the NFL’s hottest and most exciting teams … and they took a pass. Handed the struggling Miami Dolphins on a blue-and-gold platter, the Rams fumbled the exchange, dropped the shining opportunity with a loud clang, made a total mess of the joint and staggered away with a 23-15 loss that was as ugly as the score sounded. “It sucks,” said guard Steve Avila. It certainly did. An offense devised by the great Sean McVay and engineered by the hot Matthew Stafford scored exactly zero touchdowns. It was the first time that combination has been kept out of the end zone in more than two years. “Sloppy? Yeah,” said McVay. An offensive line that finally was starting to make

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge has postponed a decision on whether to undo President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money conviction as prosecutors consider how to proceed in light of last week’s election and his lawyers argue for dismissal so he can run the country. The postponement announced Tuesday comes at a dramatic and dynamic point in the New York case, which focused on how Trump accounted for payments to a porn actor before the 2016 election and produced a first-ever conviction of a former commander-in-chief. Sentencing had been set for Nov. 26. But Manhattan prosecutors now say they’re reassessing, and they appear open to the possibility that the proceedings can’t go as planned. “These are unprecedented circumstances,” Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo wrote in an email to the court. He said prosecutors need to consider how to balance the “competing interests” of the jury’s verdict and the presidency. Trump lawyer Emil Bove, meanwhile, argued the case must be thrown out altogether “to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump’s ability to govern.” The messages were exchanged over the weekend and released Tuesday, when Judge Juan M.
