CNN  —  Rachel Bilson is opening up about her sex life. Comedian Whitney Cummings joined “The O.C.” star for an episode of Bilson’s “Broad Ideas” podcast, during which Cummings talked about not being able to find satisfaction during sex while she was on birth control. “I have not had an orgasm from sex until I went off birth control,” Cummings, 40, said. “Never had it in my life until I turned 40.” That spurred Bilson, 41, to get real as well. “I was the same as you,” Bilson said. “It didn’t happen for me until I was about 38. Isn’t that crazy?” The revelation may have been surprising, but Bilson told previously told Yahoo’s “The Unwind” that she considered her podcast a “safe space” to be transparent. “It should feel like a safe space to be open, because so many people go through similar things,” Bilson said. “And what’s better…

CNN  —  Two decades ago, on March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the US invasion of Iraq. Bush and senior administration officials had repeatedly told Americans that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction and that he was in league with al Qaeda. These claims resulted in most Americans believing that Saddam was involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks. A year after 9/11, two-thirds of Americans said that the Iraqi leader had helped the terrorists, according to Pew Research Center polling, even though there was not a…

CNN  —  At least 190 people have died after Tropical Cyclone Freddy ripped through southern Malawi, the country’s Department of Disaster Management Affairs said Tuesday. At least 584 have been injured and 37 people have been reported missing in the country.  The Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources and Climate Change said Tuesday the cyclone is “weakening but will continue to cause torrential rains associated with windy conditions in most parts of Southern Malawi districts.”  “The threat of heavy flooding and damaging winds remains very high,” the report added. Charles Kalemba, a commissioner for the Department of Disaster Management Affairs agency, told CNN Tuesday that the situation had worsened in southern Malawi. “It’s worse today. A number of places are flooding and a number of roads and bridges are cut. Visibility is almost zero. Electricity is off and also network is a problem. It’s becoming more and more dire,” Kalemba said,…

CNN  —  Avril Lavigne had quite the surprise on stage Monday. As the singer was introducing Canadian musician AP Dhillon during the Juno Awards in Edmonton, Canada, a topless streaker hit the stage, walking around until security was able escort the woman away. Lavigne twice told the streaker to “Get the f— off” the stage. The individual, clad in pink pants and a bandanna, had a message on her back, “Save the green belt,” a protest message over a residential development plan by the Ontario government. Later, when Lavigne won the the TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award, she said, “Now nobody try anything this time or the Canadian’s gonna come out of me and I’ll f— a b—- up.” Source

CNN  —  A 13-year-old girl reported missing in Dallas was found locked in a shed more than 1,000 miles away in North Carolina after she was abducted and raped by a man she met on a social media platform, authorities said. The girl was found in Lexington, about an hour’s drive northeast of Charlotte, the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The sheriff’s office said it was contacted about the case Friday evening by a special agent with the FBI in Texas. The FBI, working with Dallas police, determined an adult man had been chatting with the girl online, the sheriff’s office said. “The content of the chat was consistent with grooming and enticement,” the release said. Cameras near the teen’s home captured a vehicle registered to a man living in Davidson County and the sheriff’s office, along with agents from the FBI field office in Greensboro,…

Volkswagen plans to invest 180 billion euros ($193 billion) over five years in areas including battery production and the sourcing of raw materials in a bid to cut electric vehicle costs and protect its market share, it said Tuesday. Over two-thirds of the company’s five-year investment budget is allocated to electrification and digitalization, including up to 15 billion ($16 billion) for batteries and raw materials. With markets in turmoil over the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz told analysts, however, that the company could postpone some battery investments if the market did not grow as expected. “The overall target is having at all times solid financials,” Antlitz said. On Monday, board member Thomas Schmall also announced that Volkswagen’s first North American battery cell factory would be in Canada, with production starting in 2027. He said the carmaker’s needs were covered in Europe by the three plants…

CNN  —  Superman and Batman sounds like a pretty solid one-two punch, but the details of that combination somewhat undo the CW’s new Tuesday lineup, featuring the third season of “Superman & Lois” and a new Dark Knight-adjacent drama, “Gotham Knights.” Specifically, the former doesn’t fly as high this time out, while the latter plays too much like a “Riverdale” wannabe. Joining a long list of productions peripherally connected to the Caped Crusader (“Gotham,” “Titans,” “Pennyworth” and “Batwoman” among them), “Gotham Knights” begins with the provocative premise that Batman/Bruce Wayne has been murdered, leaving his adopted son, Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan), to try to find out who’s responsible. Still, Turner wasn’t really brought into the family’s bat-business, with one of his school classmates, Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson), having acted as Batman’s sidekick Robin. The ill-tempered daughter of the Joker, Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), also gets pulled into this de facto…
