Cush Jumbo, Peter Capaldi shine in crime thriller ‘Criminal Record’
Apple TV+, posits Jumbo and Capaldi as June Lenker and Dan Hegarty, London detectives linked by a murder committed 10 years earlier — with the wrong man imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.Whether justice will prevail is anyone’s guess.Lenker’s investigation into the murder pits her against the more-senior Hegarty, a well-connected cop who moonlights as a limo driver and runs with his own crew of colleagues called “The 62s.” He seems to be steering June away from finding the real culprit for reasons involving racial and ethical issues … and deep-seated police corruption.The action starts with an anonymous phone call to police from a hysterical woman claiming that her ultra-violent boyfriend (who she doesn’t name) is going to kill her — with the same knife he used to kill a woman named Adelaide Burrows in 2012 while her 6-year-old son, Patrick, cowered in the next room.The woman claims that Errol Mathis, who’s serving 24 years in prison for Adelaide’s murder — they were lovers — was wrongfully convicted of the crime, for which he confessed and then recanted, and that the real killer (her boyfriend) is still roaming the streets and even boasting to her about the murder.Lenker plunges headlong into the case, trying to discover the anonymous caller and digging into what really happened in 2012 with Burrows.

The “Great Gatsby” actress said she was “nervous of completely committing to something.” She added that Cooper — who directed and starred in the Netflix drama — told her before they started shooting: “If you’re going to do this, you just have to fully, fully do it.” “When he said that, I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to absolutely do it all.’ I’m going to do all the research.

David Schwimmer, 200 other stars sign scathing letter blasting Motion Picture Academy for ‘antisemitism
The JITC Hollywood Bureau for Jewish Representation — “The first and only Jewish Hollywood bureau,” launched in 2021 and founded by Allison Josephs — has sent a letter to the Motion Picture Academy claiming that its inclusion policy “erases Jewish peoplehood and perpetuates myths of Jewish whiteness, power, and that racism against Jews is not a major issue or that it’s a thing of the past.”The letter has been signed by more than over 200 people, including David Schwimmer, Tiffany Haddish, Julianna Margulies, Michael Rapaport, Debra Messing, Ginnifer Goodwin and Marta Kauffman.In August, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences amended its “Representation and Inclusion Standards” for the 96th Oscars Awards Show, airing March 10 on ABC.Regarding lead actors or “significant supporting actors from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups,” the academy included, among others, African American/Black/African and/or Caribbean descent; East Asian; Hispanic or Latina/e/o/x; Indigenous Peoples; Middle Eastern/North African; and Southeast Asian.“Jewish people being excluded from the Motion Picture Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards is discriminating against a protected class by invalidating their historic and genetic identity,” the letter states.“This must be addressed immediately by including Jews in the Motion Picture Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards.”Other signees of the letter include Bret Gelman, Iliza Schlesinger, Elon Gold, Josh Dallas, Emanuelle Chriqui and Mark Feuerstein.“While many mistakenly believe that Judaism is only a religion, Jews are actually an ethnic group, with a varied spiritual practice that not all observe,” the letter says.

Model thought her groin pain was caused by MS — turns out her jeans were too tight
Abbey Clancy went to see a doctor convinced she was seriously ill — but it turned out her jeans were just too tight.The British model opened up about her experience of health anxiety in a podcast appearance this week.Clancy, 37, said she had amassed “like five doctor friends” — parents at her kids’ schools — over her constant worrying.Her symptoms included painful numbness around her groin that she became sure was multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition affecting the brain and spinal cord that can cause problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation and balance.When she started to feel the numbness in her lower body, she googled her symptoms and grew worried when they seemed to suggest MS.Clancy tapped up a “top MS doctor” to find out what was going on but the news was surprising.“It’s when I had these jeans on,” she explained to the Newlyweds podcast.“They were so tight they would stop the blood where I was sitting down.”Thankfully, the doctor ruled out MS but diagnosed Clancy with another condition — health anxiety.“I’d been holding (anxiety) in so much that when I got to the doctor, I went hysterical and couldn’t stop crying,” she said.“He was like, ‘You haven’t got MS but you’ve got a mental health issue.”Health anxiety, also known as hypochondria, is a mental illness similar to obsessive compulsive disorder. Those affected spend a lot of time worrying that they are ill, sometimes to the point where it takes over their life.Symptoms of the condition may include worrying and checking your body for signs of illness, such as lumps, tingling, or pain.People with health anxiety may always seek reassurance from others that they are not sick or convince themselves that a doctor or test may have missed something.
