The movie star has had close ties to Putin since their friendship made headlines back in 2013 when the Frenchman announced he was seeking Russian citizenship after he was criticized for his decision to move abroad to avoid paying higher taxes. However, the 73-year-old star of Cyrano De Bergerac has denounced Putin in recent days, prompting the Kremlin to consider revoking his citizenship. “The Russian people are not responsible for the crazy, unacceptable excesses of their leaders like Vladimir Putin,” Depardieu told AFP on March 31....

Landeskog, 20, will count $5.57 million against the salary cap starting in 2014-15. The deal runs through 2020-21 and buys out three years of unrestricted free agency, which is key. By that time, the salary cap will likely have risen, and players as good as Landeskog will carry higher cap hits. It's a good piece of work by Joe Sakic, who earlier in the offseason signed center Matt Duchene to a five-year, $30 million extension....

In case you didn’t know… NXT will be returning to Brooklyn for the third straight year. The first NXT Takeover: Brooklyn took place in 2015 during Summerslam weekend. It has since become a tradition, and the Brooklyn show has been considered by many as NXT’s biggest show of the year. The first year garnered immense acclaim, with the most famous match of the show being a classic between Sasha Banks and Bayley for the NXT Women’s Championship....

Jeff Hardy was spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. in preparation to return to television according to a report published by PWInsider. In case you didn’t know… Hardy has been out of action since sustaining a shoulder injury back in September. Having had successful surgery in October, he was then given a time-frame of four to six months in terms of making a full recovery and subsequent return....

The background In March, at the Fastlane PPV, Goldberg beat Kevin Owens in 22 seconds and became the new Universal Champion. Thereafter, at WrestleMania 33, he put the title on the line against ‘The Beast Incarnate’. At the ‘Showcase of The Immortals’, Lesnar defeated Goldberg in a brutal match and won the title. The very next night, he appeared on Raw and had a showdown with Braun Strowman. Following this, Lesnar went on hiatus....

Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW will likely feature reigning RAW Tag Team Champions The Bar defend their titles against Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose. In case you didn’t know… The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) captured the RAW Tag Team titles after defeating Rollins & Ambrose before Survivor Series, courtesy a distraction provided by The New Day. Sheamus & Cesaro have been feuding with the aforementioned Shield members ever since and are likely to compete against them tonight as well, only this time with their titles on the line....

PlayStation 2: Sega has a reputation for quirky games, and its January release, Rez, only helps that rep. Rez is the world’s first techno-rave videogame. As you clear a sentient computer network of viruses, each enemy you shoot explodes in a synchronized riot of color and sound that complements the trippy visuals. Many fans initially bypassed Rez, but six months later we’re still hooked. Looking ahead, Sega has two PS2 must-haves on the horizon: the ninja adventure game Shinobi, and Sega Sports Tennis, whose cover girls are the Williams sisters....

While psychologists might say monsters are an expression of our deepest, darkest fears, the stories of the supernatural have some intriguing origins—from Haitian slaves to hallucinogenic plants and rare blood disorders. Zombies Versions of the undead (or revenants) have existed in societies across the world for thousands of years—see: ancient burials, revealing Roman concerns that corpses could rise from the dead and inflict illness on the living. But the version adopted by Hollywood appears to derive from the beliefs of slave communities living in rural Haiti during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and has its roots in African culture and voodoo....

This failed design comes in the form of the Bed of Chaos, a notoriously frustrating fight that isn’t so much an example of the difficulty in Dark Souls, but more of the limits of its puzzles and platforming. That is to say, a game without a dedicated jump button doesn’t exactly mesh well with platforming in any way, and the puzzle is almost too easy to even be called one....

They want civilians off the roads and bridges. With Iraqi paramilitary troops dressing as civilians and, in some cases, using them as human shields, it is even more imperative that the United States get that message out. Saddam’s army has also been targeted with information. Some leaflets–and radio broadcasts–tell them how to surrender, others warn them not to use chemical or biological weapons. One leaflet enlarged on the big screens at the Central Command press briefing yesterday warned WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING....

On Monday, several photos and videos of the incident were posted to social media. In some posts, the airline was accused of removing the passengers only because an 18-month-old baby was not wearing a mask. Others suggested the airline was guilty of anti-Semitism, as the baby in question was part of a Jewish family. But shortly after the videos were posted to Twitter, Frontier Airlines addressed the incident in a tweet that stated, “The issue did not stem from a child under 2....

Home Run Inn Frozen Foods, based in Woodbridge, Illinois, is recalling more than 13,000 pounds of frozen pizza that could be contaminated with “extraneous materials,” specifically metal, according to the FSIS release. The product in question is 33.5-oz cartons of the company’s “Chicago’s Premium Pizzeria Deluxe Sausage Classic Pizza.” The recalled products were produced on June 6, 2022 and have a best by date of December 3, 2022. The products also bear the establishment number “EST....

As if you didn't already know, he's a big deal in Tallahassee. And around the nation, too. It's time to quit straddling the fence on whether or not Jameis Winston is a real Heisman candidate. He is, people. Indeed, he is. The redshirt freshman led the Seminoles to touchdowns on six consecutive possessions Saturday as No. 8 FSU overwhelmed the No. 25 Terrapins who arrived at Doak-Campbell thinking upset. In a game that was supposed to be Winston's -- and FSU's -- first real test of the season, the first-year starter passed with flying colors....

The visitors head into the game on a four-game losing streak against the hosts and will be looking to end this dry spell. Fulham turned in a performance of the highest quality on Saturday when they cruised to a 6-2 win over Bristol City. This followed an emphatic 7-0 victory over Reading when the sides met at the Madejski Stadium last Tuesday. After struggling for form in recent weeks, this turnaround has seen Fulham climb to the top of the EFL Championship table with 51 points from 25 games....

What Is a Full Frame Camera? Back in the days of film photography, there was only one sensor size in 35mm photography: 24mm x 36mm. So, when people refer to “full frame” cameras in digital photography, they’re discussing 24x36 sensor size. Unfortunately, full frame cameras also tend to come with a hefty price tag. The cheapest full frame Canon camera, for instance, is a few thousand dollars. Professional photographers use full frame cameras the most, because they need the extra features....

Safeguard Defenders, a Spain-based rights group, said it found more than 100 of the police contact points in over 50 countries, with the law enforcement proxies working under the auspices of authorities in four jurisdictions in eastern China. An investigation by Newsweek has verified a number of the police centers in the United States, where the offices are thought to exist as part of a wider network of Chinese overseas influence operations run by the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department....

Remember, the NES games listed below will be made available in their very basic forms on the first of September, but when they are eventually made available to the public later this year they will be updated — and some classic NES titles will even support multiplayer. However, don’t expect 3D visuals in either version. Nintendo has clarified that, unlike Excitebike 3D, none of these games will receive the 3D Classics treatment....

Late last week, Josh Brown’s journals, which detailed serial domestic abuse with his now ex-wife Molly Brown, were released by the King’s County Sheriff’s Office. The 165 pages represented a specter of new developments for the New York Giants and the NFL. MORE: When will sports world stop treating women ’nasty'? If you’ll recall, the league suspended Brown for the opening game of the 2016 season — while Tom Brady was suspended for the first quarter of the season for his, ahem, role in deflating (or not deflating) footballs....

“These are the same people who tell black people ‘slavery was so long ago, get over it,’” a Twitter user wrote, sharing a photo from the ceremony picturing participants dressed in period outfits. “Meanwhile, most of the remains of enslaved humans never even got marked graves,” commented another Twitter user. “They were hidden from the public in remote places and forgotten—even had houses/businesses built on top of them.” Others described the ceremony as “just weird” and “pathetic....

It’s no wonder that players are finding Reddit-worthy videos while playing the game, as the warzones of Battlefield 2042 are full of chaotic action. While players can fight on foot, the game also allows them to take to the sky in helicopters and jets. Fortunately, for those not in an aircraft, there are anti-aircraft weapons to counter these aerial threats. Recently, one unlucky player discovered that these weapons are effective against more than just aircraft....
