It was discussed for six years... Читать дальше...

HONG KONG — The contestant approached the man she had been publicly courting on live television and confessed that the object of her affections had shifted. “It’s someone else,” she said, then walked off the set with a fellow female contestant.

No two contestants on the show, which debuted in the United States in 2002 and later expanded overseas, have ever walked out of its elimination ceremony together. Читать дальше...

The question also remains if the film will reboot in San Francisco, where the first two movies took place.

NEW YORK — Brazilian President Michel Temer said Monday that corruption charges against him were the result of his administration’s attempts to reform the country’s pension system, an explanation sure to raise eyebrows, if not hackles, in Latin America’s largest nation.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Legislature's chief economist sought Tuesday to temper suggestions that an estimated $300 million-plus state surplus is the sign of a booming economy or an indication the state will be awash in extra cash this year. Greg Albrecht told the state's top higher education board, the Board of Regents, that Louisiana's economy has shown "modest improvement," but that he doesn't expect economists to recommend a boost to this year's income forecast by a similar $300 million amount.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers continued his call Tuesday to lower taxes on working families, without saying what other taxes may go up or providing any details about his plan that's drawing ridicule from Republican Gov.
