WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — ANew Zealandflag printed with the words "please walk on me" and laid on the floor of an art gallery has once again been packed away following public outcry, 30 years after protests forced the removal of the same artwork. The Suter Art Gallery in the city of Nelson said Thursday it had taken down the work by Māori artist Diane Prince due to escalating tensions and safety fears. The episode mirrored an Auckland gallery's removal of the work amid public backlash and complaints to law enforcement in 1995. This time, the flag was meant to remain on display for five months. Instead, it lasted just 19 days, reigniting long-running debates in New Zealand over artistic expression, national symbols and the country's colonial history. Police told The Associated Press on Friday that officers were investigating "several" complaints about the exhibition. What is the artwork? The piece, titled Flagging the Future, is a cloth New Zealand flag displayed on the floor with the words "please walk on me" stenciled across it. The flag features the British Union Jack and red stars on a blue background. The work was part of an exhibition, Diane Prince: Activist Artist, and was meant to provoke reflection on the Māori experience since New Zealand's colonization by Britain in the 19th century. Prince created the piece in 1995 in response to a government policy that limited compensation to Māori tribes for historical land theft. "I have no attachment to the New Zealand flag," Prince told Radio New Zealand in 2024. "I don't call myself a New Zealander. I call myself a Māori." Prince couldn't be reached immediately for comment Friday. New Zealand'sreckoning with its colonial pasthas gathered pace in recent decades. But there has been little appetite among successive governments to sever the country's remaining constitutional ties to Britain orchange the flagto a design that doesn't feature the Union Jack. Why did the art strike a nerve? New Zealand is among countries where desecrating the national flag is considered taboo and prohibited by law. Damaging a flag in public with intent to dishonor it is punishable by a fine of up to 5,000 New Zealand dollars ($2,984), but prosecutions are fleetingly rare. As in theUnited Statesand elsewhere, the country's flag is synonymous for some with military service. But for others, particularly some Māori, it's a reminder of land dispossession, and loss of culture and identity. Protests of the artwork in the city of Nelson, population 55,000, included videos posted to social media by a local woman, Ruth Tipu, whose grandfather served in the army's Māori Battalion during World War II. In one clip, she is seen lifting the flag from the floor and draping it over another artwork, an action Tipu said she would repeat daily. A veterans' group also denounced the piece as "shameful" and "offensive." City council member Tim Skinner said he was "horrified" by the work's inclusion. But others welcomed it. Nelson's deputy mayor, Rohan O'Neill-Stevens, posted on social media "in strong defense of artistic expression and the right for us all to be challenged and confronted by art." Why did the gallery remove it? The work was perhaps expected to provoke controversy and in the exhibition's opening days, The Suter Gallery defended its inclusion. But a statement on its Facebook page late Thursday said a "sharp escalation in the tone and nature of the discourse, moving well beyond the bounds of respectful debate" had prompted the flag's removal. "This should not be interpreted as a judgement on the artwork or the artist's intent," the statement said. The gallery didn't detail specific incidents of concern and a gallery spokesperson didn't respond to a request for an interview on Friday. New Zealand's Police said in a statement Friday that while officers were investigating complaints, they weren't called to any disturbances at the exhibition. Prince said when she revived the work in 2024 that threats of prosecution by law enforcement had prompted its removal from the Auckland gallery in 1995. The Nelson gallery didn't suggest in its statement that police involvement had influenced Thursday's decision.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Big Ocean, a three-member K-pop group composed entirely of artists with hearing disabilities, is redefining the limits of music and performance — one beat at a time. When Big Ocean takes the stage, they seamlessly incorporate sign language into their performances. But their polished shows are built on extensive preparation using high-tech tools born from necessity — vibrating smartwatches that pulse with musical beats and LED visual metronomes that flash timing cues during practice sessions. This technological approach represents significant progress in South Korea's entertainment industry, where career opportunities for people with disabilities have historically been limited. The trio, PJ, Jiseok and Chanyeon, made their debut in April 2024 and recently wrapped a solo European tour marking their first anniversary. The band performed in four countries, including France and the U.K., while promoting their second mini-album, "Underwater," which dropped on April 20. PJ rose to prominence as a YouTuber who educated viewers about hearing disabilities. Chanyeon previously worked as an audiologist. Jiseok was a professional ski racer. To achieve the precision crucial in K-pop's demanding choreography and music, Big Ocean relies on technologies rarely seen in the genre. Members wear modified vibrating smartwatches that deliver rhythmic cues to their wrists and practice with visual metronomes — flashing light guides displayed on monitors — to help stay in sync when audio alone isn't enough. Chanyeon uses a hybrid hearing device with Bluetooth that streams music directly from mobile devices. The group also uses a pitch-checking app and AI voice conversion technology to support vocal training and enhance audio output after recordings. Dancing to visual cues "We each felt rhythm differently when dancing," PJ told The Associated Press. "So when we'd play the same song and dance in front of the mirror, one of us would move faster while another would move slower. To solve this timing issue, we decided to memorize everything together and create our own cues with each other." This precision becomes critical during live performances, where unexpected disruptions can derail even experienced performers. "When we performed in France, our fans were cheering so loudly we lost the beat," said Jiseok. "But we looked at each other and quickly handled the situation — just like we practiced." Stage effects and certain musical styles create additional obstacles. "When a lot of smoke comes up, sometimes we momentarily can't see the stage movements in front of us," PJ said. "Our concentration gets disrupted instantly in those moments." "When there's no clear beat in a song, it's really hard for us to stay synchronized," Jiseok said. "When the bass is overwhelming, it's difficult for us to catch it accurately." Promoting accessibility Despite these challenges, Big Ocean's commitment to accessibility and inclusion has inspired their global fanbase. Big Ocean's global fanbase — known as PADO — has responded with similar commitment. "While communicating with PADO, we've heard that they're actually learning Korean sign language for us, or learning various sign languages to communicate with us," Jiseok said. "When we see how much they're preparing and putting in that effort, we feel so grateful." The group uses English for basic communication with international fans and incorporates Korean Sign Language, American Sign Language and International Sign to promote accessibility and inclusion. Jiseok credits BTS's RM with inspiring his musical journey. He said RM's donation to his former school — a private institution for deaf and hard of hearing students — gave him access to music and dance for the first time. "Without those learning opportunities, I probably never would have dreamed of becoming a K-pop idol," he said. Fostering collaboration Looking ahead, Big Ocean hopes to build on its growing global profile. "We recently saw Justin Bieber's Instagram post asking for music collaborators, so we sent him a DM," PJ said. "All of us would love the opportunity to work with him. And personally, I'd also love to work with Billie Eilish." As the band reflects on its first year, Chanyeon said their biggest growth has been internal. "I've always liked playing it safe — even with food, I only ate what I was used to," he said. "But through Big Ocean, I've gained confidence in trying new things. That's what I'm most satisfied with."

Is Ashley Leaving 'The Young and the Restless'?originally appeared onParade. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) just returned toThe Young and the Restless,but she's ready to leave again. The most recent episode featured Ashley telling Jack (Peter Bergman)she needed to work on herself in Paris following the whole Martin/Alan (Christopher Cousins) saga. Jack and fans were taken aback by the news. After all, Ashley was only back from New York with Traci (Beth Maitland) for a hot second before she dropped her bombshell on her brother. Ashley will head back to Paris after Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott)birthday party. The character has been off and on the canvas for years. Last summer, Ashley was given the first major storyline she had had in years with her dissociative identity disorder. Since then, Ashley has predominantly remained off-screen onThe Young and the Restless. She has popped up for brief visits for special occasions like Abby's (Melissa Ordway)wedding to Devon (Bryton James). That trend will continue when Ashley once again bids Genao City adieu for Paris. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Melissa Ordway Gaston (@mel_ordway) Ashley is not used as a consistent player on the show because Davidson is no longer under contract with the CBS soap. Davidson is recurring, so she comes and goes when the writers need her to and when her schedule allows. Although Y&R fans miss having Ashley around, other than her DID storyline, Ashley hasn't been at the forefront for a long time. Therefore, the arrangement between Davidson and the show makes sense.

Karwai Tang/WireImage Este, Danielle and Alana Haim appeared on theSidetrackedpodcast on Thursday, May 29 During their conversation, they revealed that the title of their upcoming album,I quit,was inspired by a film from their childhood Alana Haim explained that the meaning of the title came from one of the film's final scenes, that slowly became an inside joke between the sisters Haimreveals how their album title came from a classic movie from their childhood. On Thursday, May 29,Este,DanielleandAlana Haimappeared on theSidetrackedpodcast to chat about their upcoming album,I quit, which drops on June 20. At the start of the episode, host Nick Grimshaw told the sister trio how much he loves the album title, and Este, 39, quickly asked, "We told you the story behind it?" Grimshaw confirmed he wasn't aware of the title's origins, and Alana, 33, began to explain its connection to the 1996 film,That Thing You Do!"There's this film, it's calledThat Thing You Do!,and it's about a one-hit wonder band in the 1960s," she began. "It was a movie that we all three very much connected on as very young children." The musical-drama follows the rise of the Wonders, a small-time band from Erie, Pennsylvania, who are launched to superstardom after winning a local talent contest. The group ultimately splinters under the pressures of fame, ego, jealousy, and quickie Reno weddings, but they leave behind the legacy of the movie's titular song — a sparkling pop gem that set the charts on fire in the summer of 1964. Columbia Records As Alana continued, she explained how in one of the final scenes, the Wonders' lead singer Jimmy (Johnathon Schaech), is instructed by their manager, Amos White (Tom Hanks), to come up with a second single that is "peppy and snappy." "And Jimmy wants to record like a brooding, sad song. And he goes, 'Peppy and snappy, okay?' And he gets on the mic and he goes, 'I quit, I quit, I quit, I quit, Mr. White.'" Alana sang as she and Este snapped together. "And so growing up, whenever we would have, like, check a mic, we would always go, like, 'I quit.'" 20TH CENTURY FOX/Album/Alamy But as she continued, she revealed that as they were creating the album, each new track, they realized, "we were quitting something that made us feel better." "One day, we're like, 'Should we manage our album?I quit,' " she said, before noting she felt like they fell into a common songwriting practice when musicians' subconscious are actually writing the music. "Like, months after we were like, 'Oh, I was like, writing this, but I didn't understand it until I had time to really think about it,' " she said. "It's just like stream of consciousness." "I think that was what really happened," she said. "Our subconscious was going for it, and our bodies caught up." Ahead of releasing their first album in five years, Haim has dropped three singles, "Relationships," "Down to be wrong," and "Everybody's trying to figure me out." On Friday, May 30, they release their fourth single,"Take me back." During their conversation onSidetracked, Alana noted that while creating the album, "It was the first time, since basically we were all in that high school era, that we were all single." "I think it really brought up this nostalgic [feeling] for that time of when the last time we were single, when I was like 14, 15, 16. It's just been amazing to kind of like go back and relive those times, [and] get back into it."

Beloved 2000s Stars' Suspenseful New Paramount Thriller Has Fans Saying the Same Thingoriginally appeared onParade. Sophia BushandChris Carmackare joining forces for a suspenseful thriller coming to Paramount Movies. But while theGrey's Anatomystars (who never shared the screen on the long-running ABC medical procedural) are a dream team up forOne Tree HillandThe O.C.fans, the trailer forThe Stranger in My Homehas garnered a bit of a lukewarm reaction. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 The twisted psychological thriller, based on the bestselling novel, finds a family's life spiraling out of control after a handsome and mysterious man shows up at the door claiming to be the father of their teenage daughter. Bush plays Ali, the mom to 15-year-old Katie (Amiah Miller), whose perfect life unravels when Carmack's Tom makes the revelation that their children were switched at birth. Per the synopsis, "What begins as an unsettling encounter soon spirals into a nightmare of long-buried secrets, lies and obsession," as the trailer showcases someone kidnapping Katie. Plenty of fans took to the comments of the trailer to voice their opinion, as a handful revealed, "The only reason I'm gonna watch this is for Sophia Bush bc I love her so much!" "Ill watch anything with brooke davis and luke," another echoed, referencing Bush and Carmack's teen drama characters. Others likened it to a Lifetime movie, stating, "It's a basic Lifetime movie premise with one big difference that makes me excited to watch it. When you need a to find a good reason to watch something…..The answer is always SOPHIA BUSH!" Comments continued with, "Looks like a Lifetime movie," "This is not a lifetime TV movie??!! Really??" and "So, Paramount bought Hallmark as well?" A handful also emphasized that the premise felt a bit dated: "2000s called, they want their movie back," "broooo This should have released 2008" and "Should've came out in 2009 or 2006." One might argue that it's kind of the whole point of casting two leads who carved out a dedicated following in the 2000s in that case, right? Paramount is clearly targeting millennials with this one—and, as one comment stated, we're "down for it." You can buy it on digital, June 24!

Clarksdale, Miss. (AP) — Hundreds of people packed inside a local auditorium Thursday to see the hit film "Sinners," set in their community and steeped in Mississippi Delta culture. The special screening of the blockbuster horror film included an appearance by Director Ryan Coogler and was made possible by a community petition. "I have family from Mississippi — my uncle, my grandfather — and I had never been until working on this script," Coogler said, addressing the crowd. "It really changed me, just to come here." The movie, starring Michael B. Jordan as twins, is about two brothers coming home to Mississippi to launch a juke joint. It's also a supernatural vampire flick that blends elements of drama, action and music. "Sinners" composerLudwig Göransson, actor Miles Canton and others who worked on the film also attended the screening. "Anytime that filmmakers take the time out to pay homage to the Delta, especially, because we're the root of music, the blues culture, that means a lot," said Brandice Brown Williams, a theater teacher who brought two of her students to the screening. The film is set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, but current day Clarksdale doesn't have a movie theater, making it difficult for people to see the film about their hometown. Community organizers decided to change that, starting a petition to invite the cast and crew to Clarksdale and to collaborate on hosting a public screening. "The love you have for Southern folk, Mississippians and Clarksdale came to life through your commitment to writing us right," community organizer Tyler Yarbrough said. "We are ready. We are waiting. And we would be proud to welcome you back to where it all began." During the screening, the crowd was expressive — in response to various scenes, they gasped, laughed and cheered. Afterward, Coogler and others stayed for a Q&A. One attendee, Cindy Hurst, praised the film, calling it a "really good visual representation of the beauty of the Black culture."

Kevin Mazur/Getty Sean "Diddy" Combs 'former personal assistant testified Thursday that the Bad Boy Records mogul allegedly sexually assaulted her multiple times, dumped a bucket of ice on her head, threw her into a swimming pool and slammed her arm into a door during an agonizing eight-year tenure working for him. She also testified that her friend, lead witness and R&B singerCasandra "Cassie" Ventura, had visible injuries during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. The woman, testifying at Combs' sex-trafficking trialunder the pseudonym "Mia," has alleged that he put his hand up her dress, forced her to perform oral sex and climbed into her bed to have sex with her against her will. Ethan Miller/Getty Mia, speaking slowly and at times crying, portrayed Combs as brutal and controlling — placing his own needs, wants and desires above the wellbeing of his staff, loved ones and Ventura, who was his girlfriend at the time. Mia testified Combs berated her for mistakes, even ones made by other employees, and gave her so many tasks she didn't sleep for days on end. "It was chaotic. It was toxic," said Mia, who worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017 and co-founded the Revolt Films studio with him. "It could be exciting. The highs were really high and the lows were really low." Mia further testified about several occasions where she saw Combs' ex Ventura being assaulted — one of them was at the premiere ofBrad Pitt'sKilling Them Softlyat the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, May 22, 2012. While at the premiere, Mia claimed that Ventura and Combs were seated in the silent movie theater and talking, then Combs gritted his teeth and started "digging his nails into her arms." Mia claimed that "no one ever leaves in the middle of a premiere event" but Combs insisted on Ventura leaving, which she did. Mia recalled other times she saw Ventura's busted lip and other injuries in a hotel room with Ventura's hair stylistDeonte Nash. After the premiere,PEOPLE reported at the time, Pitt hosted an intimate party that evening at Villa St. George for close friends and people who were involved with the film. About 100 people attended the soiree, including Combs, Kylie Minogue, Chris Tucker and Ray Liotta, who partied until the wee hours of the morning. The party felt almost like a pre-bachelor party forthe newly engaged Pitt, with refreshments including cigars and 250 bottles of Johnnie Walker whiskey. Towards the end of the evening, Combs shared a celebratory drink with the actor over his engagement to Angelina Jolie (who he married in Aug. 2014and finalized theirdivorce in Dec. 2024), before inviting the entire party back to his yacht.

Related:Cassie Had Dinner with Diddy Hoping to End Relationship. Instead, She Testified, He Raped Her They had sex for the first time two years later during a trip to Miami, not long after Ventura's 21st birthday — whereVentura testified she cried after he kissed her for the first time. Ventura said Combs also gave her ecstasy during their trip together, and the jury was shown a photo of the pair: Ventura wearing a robe and sunglasses, with Combs draped around her. Related:Cassie Reveals Why She Cried When Diddy Kissed Her for the First Time Ventura added Combs subjected her to hundreds of"freak-offs"— drug-fueled sex marathons in which she said she engaged in sex acts with escorts while Combs watched, filmed and directed them. Ventura testifiedit could last anywhere from 36 hours to four days. Ventura was 22 years oldwhen she had her first freak-off, she said, adding, "eventually it became a job for me," occurring weekly during the course of their relationship. REUTERS/Jane Rosenberg She claimed the encounters were "a very choreographed experience," detailing the precise sequence of the sexual encounters that Combs expected from her and the male escort to carry out for him. If they went too quickly, Combs allegedly made them begin all over again. Ventura said she "hated" the freak-offs, finding them "humiliating" and "disgusting." She testified that there would sometimes be blood on the sheets covering the hotel furniture because Combs forced her to have sex while she was menstruating or ovulating.

Then the Worker Kissed Her Ventura went on to describe the control and alleged abuse Combs exerted over her life while continuously keeping tabs on her. She testified that Combs decided her wardrobe, nails, hair, where she lived and ordered her "busy work" to occupy her time when he wasn't around. "He had control over what I did every minute of the day," Ventura said, adding, even orchestrating discussions about her breast implants. gotpap/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images On May 16, Ventura testified in Manhattan federal court that she was in a state of shock after Combs hit her and kicked her while she lay curled on the floor and dragged her back to their room in the now-infamous attack at theInterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. Related:Days After Brutally Assaulting Cassie at L.A. Hotel, Here's the Shocking Text Diddy Sent Her Not only was Ventura in pain from the black eye and other injuries Combs left her with after the May 6,2016 beating,she was reeling from the fury the hip-hop mogul unleashed on her when she ran out of the room after a violent Freak Off session, she testified. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution charges, which he has adamantly denied. His lawyers have conceded that he could be violent at times, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit or cover up abuse.

Sean Combsis being tried in a New York courtroom for racketeering and sexual trafficking. Could thatdaily dramavanish instantly if PresidentDonald Trumppardoned the embattled rapper? "Yes, it could," says Brian Kalt, law professor at Michigan State University College of Law, who focuses on legal issues and the presidency. According to Kalt, Trump − who appears to be in themiddle of a pardoning spree− would be within his presidential rights to extend a preemptive pardon to fellow New Yorker Combs, who has been described by witnesses so far as violent and abusive. "These are federal charges (against Combs), so that's the main limit. The matter has be federal, it has to be criminal vs. civil, and related to something that's already been done," says Kalt. "But the person doesn't have to even be charged yet, or convicted. TheSupreme Courthas said preemptive pardons are OK." Typically, one of the last gestures from an outgoing president is a pardon. In PresidentJoe Biden's final days in office,he famously pardoned his son, Hunter, convicted of federal gun felonies and federal tax charges. At the end of Trump's first term, he granted clemency topolitical allies such as Roger Stone, found guilty of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and related offenses. But pardons can take place during a president's term, says Kalt. The right was established in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution, which among other things gives the president "power to grantReprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." Kalt says the power to pardon is derived from the British monarch's historic right and stems from a recognition that criminal law was often too harsh, and it was important to have a safety valve. "The president was the best person to be that safety valve because of his political accountability," he says. But that's where things get murky, he adds, noting that Republican lawmakers "don't appear willing to hold the president accountable" for granting pardons, meaning they aren't costing him in terms of political capital. In contrast, President Gerald Ford's controversial pardoning of disgraced President Richard Nixon was perceived so negatively "that it probably cost Ford re-election in 1976," Kalt says. In just over 100 days since taking office, Trump has issued pardons to a broad range of personalities. They includeTodd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," who were convicted in 2022 of swindling $36 million from Atlanta banks and being tax evaders, and rapperNBA YoungBoy, who in 2024 was sentenced to two years in prison for weapons possession. He also pardoned former Illinois governorRod Blagojevich, convicted of wire fraud and extortion, and Jan. 6 participant and "Bob's Burgers" actorJay Johnston. The reason many presidents issue pardons at the end of their terms is precisely to avoid political fallout, says Kalt. In that sense, Trump's brash approach suggests he has no concerns about such ramifications. "I don't agree with these pardons on their merits, but the fact that he did them when he is politically accountable as opposed to slinking out the door does add some legitimacy to them in that sense," he says. "With pardons, you don't need Congress, you wave your magic wand and it happens. You can see the appeal for a president, particularly one like Trump." One can also see the appeal for those such as Combs, whose ordeal could end instantly should Trump's pardon "wand" wave his way. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:Can Trump pardon Diddy?

"People are always asking, 'What do you want to do? Where do you see yourself? Where do you want to go?' And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know if it's motherhood or this current situation or this business," she added. You kind ofcan'tbe like, 'I know what I'm doing three years from now.' I'm just, like, okay right now."
