NEW YORK -- “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be,” by Marissa R.

Pussy Riot’s Masha Alyokhina has escaped from Russia as president Vladimir Putin continues to crack down on dissidents in the country.Alyokhina, along with her bandmates, has been arrested and imprisoned multiple times over the past decade and more for publicly protesting Putin’s rule, most recently last year when she was detained for 48 hours after attending protests encouraging others to protest on social media.Amid the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new story in The New York Times reveals that Alyokhina was under house arrest and, when authorities decided to turn that into a 21-day jail sentence last month, she decided to flee Russia.The story outlines Alyokhina’s escape, which included posing as a food courier and being placed on Russia’s wanted list after being refused entry into Belarus on account of her Russian passport having been confiscated by authorities.The report then reveals that Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson was able to assist Alyokhina in getting her a travel document from a European country that allowed her to travel freely from Russia to the EU. It adds that she has now travelled to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.“I still don’t understand completely what I’ve done,” she said in the piece.

Elon Musk's mom appeared to fall for a fake viral tweet - and the result was hilarious confusion. It started when a Twitter user who originally had a username resembling the New York Post tweeted, "It girl, model, singer, songwriter, Sky Ferreira declines date with Elon Musk after being asked by his team at the 2022’s Met Gala. ""Musk’s team even asked Elon to be sat at the same table as Sky Ferrerira," read another tweet from the account alongside a photo from the evening that showed Ferreira and Musk in close proximity.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorDevin Nunes, the former congressman who is now CEO of Donald Trump’s social-media rival to Twitter, claimed that his new boss “encouraged” tech mogul Elon Musk to acquire Twitter, to “take on these tech tyrants.”Musk says that’s false.“I’ve had no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social,” Musk tweeted Friday, replying to a New York Post article about Nunes’ claims.In an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co,” Nunes said, “President Trump, basically before Elon Musk bought it, actually said to go and buy it because the goal of our company is really to build a community where people are in a family-friendly, safe environment.” Nunes added, “we encouraged Elon Musk to buy” Twitter, because “someone has to take on these tech tyrants… Donald Trump wanted to make sure that the American people got their voice back and that the internet was open and that’s what we are doing.” Nunes, who is CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, once sued Twitter, seeking $250 million in damages, alleging in part he was defamed by anonymous parody accounts “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.” A judge threw out the case.Musk has said he’s primarily interested in protecting “free speech” on Twitter, and he has criticized the company for allegedly having a left-leaning political bias. That stance has led right-wingers — who have long alleged Twitter (and other internet platforms) somehow stifle conservative viewpoints — to champion Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter.Twitter permanently banned Trump shortly after the Jan.

It appears Elon Musk will not be testifying in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial.  While Musk has been subpoenaed to hand over any and all communication he had with Heard about the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, the tech boss will not be taking the stand on Heard's behalf.  Musk’s attorney, Alex Spiro, told Fox News Digital Wednesday his client will not testify.  During his testimony, Depp claimed he believed the Tesla boss was seeing his ex-wife while Depp and Heard were married.  A source with knowledge of the trial also claimed to the New York Post that James Franco, 44, will also be absent from the witness stand. Depp has also claimed Franco and Heard had an affair during Depp and Heard's marriage.  Reps for Franco did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment. Elon Musk name-dropped So, how does Musk factor into the Depp-Heard trial? Court documents claim that Heard began a romantic relationship with Musk just one month after the "Aquaman" actress, 35, tied the knot with Depp, 58.

Elon Musk will not testify on ex-girlfriend Amber Heard’s behalf in her defense of a $50 million defamation lawsuit brought by Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star filed the suit after the actress wrote an op-ed in 2018 saying she was "a public figure representing domestic abuse." She did not name Depp, but his lawyers argue that it's a reference to Depp since she has previously claimed he was physically violent toward her during their marriage.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorElon Musk, who’s set to become Twitter’s sole owner, is prohibited from posting tweets that “disparage” the social network.But that didn’t stop Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the world’s richest person, from criticizing Twitter’s 2020 decision to freeze the account of the New York Post, after the paper published unverified stories about Hunter Biden.“Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate,” Musk tweeted Tuesday evening.That was in reply to a post by Saagar Enjeti, political commentator and co-host of “Breaking Points,” which linked to a story by Politico describing how Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust, and safety — the exec who oversaw the company’s suspension of the New York Post — cried during a meeting with staffers discussing Musk’s takeover. In October 2020, Twitter blocked the New York Post’s account for 16 days over the newspaper’s series of disputed stories on Hunter Biden, in what became a flashpoint for Republicans charging Twitter with censorship of conservatives.

Jordan Moreau Director Adam McKay’s Netflix film “Don’t Look Up,” which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Mark Rylance and more A-listers, made a splash last winter for how the dark, political comedy eerily mirrored real life. The film tackled issues of climate change and media misinformation, and one fictional tech billionaire character hit even closer to home after Elon Musk and Twitter agreed to a $44 billion deal on Monday.“It’s dangerous,” Blanchett told Variety about Musk’s Twitter takeover, at the Chaplin Award Gala in New York on Monday. “That’s all I have to say, it’s very, very dangerous.”Rylance’s character, Peter Isherwell, an eccentric tech CEO who profits off a comet hurtling toward Earth, was based partly on Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs.
