Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall is an odd pop culture artifact, not least because it pulled off the amazing feat of becoming iconic itself.His tribute to Judy was campy and affectionate all at once, with an appearance by his sister Martha lending the album its own Judy-and-Liza moment. The performance and the album that came out of it were hits, and several of those songs are still staples in his live performances.Wainwright’s fascination with Judy’s most legendary performance gets a second wind with Rufus Does Judy at Capitol Studios (★★★★☆), a record that came out of a studio session performed and streamed with little fanfare last year.

tortoise who went missing in 1982 was found 30 years later - alive and well in the family's attic.Manuela belonged to Nathalye De Almedia's mother in the early 1980s, and Nathalye had heard about the mysterious creature but was told he haddisappeared when his mum was eight.The family had figured that he had gone vanished during electrical work taking place on the house.But three decades years later, after the woman's husband had died, the family went to the house to sort out his posessions.And while sorting through the attic, they were shocked by what they found in a box with an old wooden speaker inside.“We were shocked!” Almeida told The Dodo in 2013.“My mom arrived crying because she didn't believe it - they found Manuela!”Despite all the odds, the animal had managed to find a way to survive more than three decades locked inside a storage box.It was thought that she had managed to survive from eating termite larvae, which were also found in the room.However, nearly 10 years later, in an update on the story, it turns out that Manuela is still alive – but is now called Manuel, as it turned out during a routine veterinary check-up this year that the plucky tortoise is actually male.A tortoise can actually survive up to 255 years old, and can survive around three years without food and water.The current record holder for the world's oldest tortoise is Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise currently living on the South Atlantic Island of St Helena.He is 180 years old, and first arrived ion the island as a gift to Sir William Grey-Wilson in 1882, who would later become the Governor of the island.However, his vet Joe Hollins said in March: “"To be honest, I suspect he's older, but we can never know.”For more incredible

Pistol, premiering today, which explores the rise and crash of Sex Pistols—the English band who ignited a counterculture movement in 1970s London. (The show, directed by Danny Boyle, is based on the memoir from real-life Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.) “I was aware of the Sex Pistols and the punk movement’s impact at the time, but I didn’t realize how the fashion, music, and art all further triggered the movement,” Williams tells . “It was just a real scene in London, and it was like a small group of people that created that revolution.”The actor plays Jordan, née Pamela Rooke, a real-life punk pioneer from the 1970s who often styled the Sex Pistols for performances and served as muse to the designer Vivienne Westwood, another fixture of the decade.

One of four sexual assault lawsuits filed against Marilyn Manson has been dismissed, after a judge ruled that the statute of limitations prevented the litigation from proceeding.The musician’s former assistant, Ashley Walters, sued Manson a year ago, accusing him of sexual harassment, abuse and battery during her time working for him between 2010 and 2011. Manson’s legal team had already successfully argued once before that Walters’ claims fell outside the statute of limitations, but she was given the opportunity to submit an amended complaint.In that amended filing, Walters said that, due to post-traumatic stress disorder, she had – until recently – suppressed her memories of what had happened to her while working for Manson.She had, said the lawsuit, been “unable to recall many of the physical and emotional abuses until the fall of 2020 when countless repressed memories flooded back to [her] after meeting numerous other victims of [Manson] and obtaining counselling from a mental health professional”.In California, where the case has been filed, the statute of limitations on sexual assault and harassment cases was three years, until 2020 when it was increased to ten years.However, according to Courthouse News, the judge overseeing the case, Michael Stern, said that the law change was not retroactive, meaning that Walters was still bound by the three year rule, requiring her to go legal within three years of the alleged abuse.
