The
gun used in the fatal shooting on the “Rust” movie set could not
have been fired without pulling the trigger, according to an FBI
forensic report. Alec Baldwin shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on
the set of the Western, which he was producing and starring in, last
year. Baldwin believed he was handling a “cold gun” — one
without live ammunition – but a live bullet struck Hutchins,
killing her. The film’s director, Joel Souza, was also wounded in
the shooting. The FBI report says: “With the hammer fully cocked,
the gun ‘could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger
while the working internal components were intact and functional’.
Baldwin has repeatedly insisted that he did not pull the
trigger.

Amber Heard is replacing most of her legal team and leaning into the US Constitution as she prepares to appeal a multi-million defamation verdict awarded to Johnny Depp. The move to cut loose her main attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, follows weeks of judicial jockeying by both of the “Rum Diary” co-stars to have another kick at the courtroom can with notices of intended appeals. Having seen ex-husband Depp awarded $10.4 million by a Virginia jury on June 1 after a 6-week trial, Heard has now hired David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown to represent her attempt to rescind the judgment. Specializing in the First Amendment freedom of speech clause in America’s founding document, Axelrod and Brown served as counsel to the New York Times’ successful battle against Sarah Palin’s libel suit over a 2017 editorial.
Johnny Depp has lined up his first film directing gig in 25 years. A quarter-century after he directed both himself and Marlon Brando in 1997’s “The Brave”, his feature directorial debut, Depp is set to get behind the camera for “Modigliani”, about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, and will co-produce alongside Al Pacino and Barry Navidi. Based on the play by Dennis McIntyre, the film will tell the story of the painter and sculptor in Paris in 1916. Long considered by himself a critical and commercial failure, Modigliani navigates a turbulent and eventful 48 hours that will become a turning point in his life, ultimately solidifying his reputation as an artistic legend. Production is set to start in Europe in spring, with casting to be revealed soon.

TIPS
TO HELP YOU LIVE LONGER:
There’s no magic pill that can prolong your life, but there are several ways you can add years to your lifespan…
⇒ Protect your heart: This involves taking a number of steps, including eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and low in processed foods. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and maintain a healthy body weight. Also, keep your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure in the normal range.
⇒ Do strength training: Lift weights or use resistance bands. Muscle strengthening exercises have been shown to reduce the risk of dying by 10-17%.
⇒ Quit smoking: You saw this coming from a mile away. This advice also includes any other use of tobacco products, and vaping.
⇒ Eat mushrooms: Mushrooms are the only dietary source of a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory amino acid. Some scientists call mushrooms a “longevity vitamin”.
⇒ Exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes every day — especially if you have high blood pressure or diabetes. It will help regulate your blood pressure, and help avoid heart disease or stroke later on.
⇒ Limit animal protein: Studies have shown that by focusing on a more plant-based diet, you can increase your longevity.
⇒ Focus on Phytonutrients: Resveratrol, found in grapes, wine, blueberries, peanuts, and cocoa, has been shown to improve life expectancy and reduce symptoms associated with aging. Quercetin, found in apples, onions, and kale, is associated with increased life expectancy, and offers benefits to the brain and fights inflammation.
