An artificial-intelligence "actor" created to promote a new film broke down during a live interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, abruptly switching from English to Cantonese, a glitch that exposed the limits of the technology Hollywood is racing to normalize. Tilly Norwood, a generative AI creation built by Xicoia, the AI division of a company called Particle6, was mid-answer on Friday's program when the malfunction hit. Actor Tom Conti, who appeared in Oppenheimer, had asked Norwood a straightforward question: were the other performers in her film Misaligned real human beings, or were they computer-generated like her? Norwood began answering, then lapsed into Cantonese without warning, The Hollywood Reporter reported . Morgan and Conti…Open

Rebel Wilson returned to a Sydney courtroom Monday to fight allegations that she deliberately torpedoed her own directorial debut, a case that pits the actress against the producers who say her social media posts cost them a film release and their reputations. AI Film Production Limited, a Britain-based production company, is suing Wilson and her company, Camp Sugar Productions, in the New South Wales Supreme Court. The producers claim Wilson undermined negotiations with potential distributors for "The Deb," a 2024 musical comedy, and threatened an injunction to block the film from screening in Australia. They want unspecified damages, a public apology for what they call misleading and deceptive conduct, and corrective advertising. …Open

Patrick Clancy, the father whose three young children were killed by his ex-wife in 2023, is expecting a baby with his new wife Rachel Danis, a quiet step forward in a life marked by unimaginable loss. CBS News correspondent Ross Douthat confirmed the pregnancy on CBS Mornings Monday, one day after his 60 Minutes interview with Clancy and Danis aired Sunday night. When Douthat told the couple during the sit-down, "And you guys are starting a family," Danis answered simply: "Yes." It was Douthat's first assignment for the program, and he conceded the phrasing could have been more direct. "Maybe starting a family was a, maybe that was too, you know, too coy a way of asking it," Douthat told CBS Mornings host Nate Burleson. "This is, this…Open

Researchers in Roskilde, Denmark, have uncovered the remains of a 13th-century convent hidden six feet beneath a local soccer field, a structure believed lost since the Protestant Reformation demolished it nearly five centuries ago. The discovery came this summer after local officials began preparatory work on a parking facility for the field. Before breaking ground, crews ran a Ground Penetrating Radar survey, a system that sends electromagnetic waves into the earth and reads the reflections that bounce back from buried structures. What came back stunned the researchers watching the monitors: clear, detailed images of St. Clare's Convent, a monastery dating to 1256, sitting largely intact beneath the turf.

A convicted corporate looter and his wife are hosting a blowout birthday party on the storied Kennedy family lawn in Hyannis Port, and the nonprofit that controls the property isn't talking.
