As far as music festivals go, Treasure Island Music Festival is a rare breed. There aren't 40,000 people all trying to use the same outdoor bathroom as you, there's no Mad Max-style bartering where condoms and lighters have replaced currency, and there are only two stages as opposed to the usual half-dozen. Thanks to the show being held on an island in the San Francisco Bay, the entire event is capped at 2,000 people. We had a chance to catch up with Janelle Monae after her performance on the main stage to talk politics, gender equality, and the endless possibilities of the future.
What’s in a bra? Femininity, sexiness and self-empowerment, says Halle Berry, who is launching a lingerie line she says will do it all.
The Oscar-winning actress is reviving Scandale, a lingerie label born in France in 1932.
“We’ve taken this brand and revamped it,” Berry said in an interview Thursday. “But we’ve kept all the qualities of the Parisian sort of style intact.”
The collection of 10 bras and panties will be sold by Target, and while “rich with history and heritage,” will boast “a very good price,” said Berry, who, beneath her lacy dress displayed a black Illusion demi bra (less than $20).
Berry is an owner of the Scandale Paris line and said she plays a hands-on role in design, declaring, “I think I have a pulse on what American women want.”
She agreed that, for guys, the choice of undergarments is largely a question of boxers or briefs. “But most women know that what you put under your clothes is the first step in making yourself feel good about yourself.”
Women buy lingerie mainly for themselves, she went on, quickly adding, “When they find something they feel good in, and that makes them feel sexy and feminine and empowered, their partners also reap the benefits.”
Berry, who won a Best Actress Academy Award for the 2001 drama “Monster’s Ball,” came to television last summer in the CBS sci-fi series “Extant.” For this film veteran, series TV, with its faster-than-film pace and longer-than-film hours, was “a rude awakening,” she confessed. But now she’s braced to resume production for next season in February.
Despite the excitement her entry into series TV ignited, reviews for “Extant” were mixed and ratings less than spectacular.
“That was disappointing, you might say,” she admitted, “but at least we got picked up. I think we learned a lot from the first season.”
She noted that many series take time to break through into long-running hits.
“I hope that will be our case,” she said.
Jaylen Fryberg was identified as the student who carried out a deadly shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School in Washington state earlier that day, a government official joining law enforcement sources and Fryberg's family in naming him as the gunman.
The boy's family confirmed his identity to KIRO.
An unidentified law enforcement source also told Q13 Fox news that the shooter is Marysville Pilchuck High School freshman Jaylen Fryberg. The boy walked into the school's cafeteria shortly before 11 a.m. local time and opened fire, witnesses said.
Requests for confirmation of the shooter's identity from Marysville police were not immediately returned, but by Friday evening the Associated Press cited a government source confirming that Fryberg was the shooter.
Authorities said that Fryberg, a football player and homecoming prince, shot five students and then turned the gun on himself. He died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police confirmed that a female student died in the shooting, according to The Seattle Times.
Four other students were taken to local hospitals, three of whom were admitted with head wounds, a spokeswoman for Providence Medical Center said at a press conference. All the victims were younger than 18, police said.
The school, which participates in active shooter drills, was placed in lockdown. Students were later evacuated, and could be seen on local television walking across a field with their hands in the air.
A friend of the shooter, identified only as Bryce, told NBC News that Fryberg was a popular student, and that "everyone knew him." Bryce was shocked that Fryberg was the shooter, since he didn't consider him violent.
The extended Fryberg family are well known locally, a neighbor told The Huffington Post.
"They're known for having a larger family in the area and having been here a long time," Ellie Shipe, 27, said. She lives across the street from the high school. "it's horrific," she said about the shooting.
A motive is not yet known, but a student at the school told the Seattle Times that the "shooter was angry at a girl who would not date him, and that the girl was one of the people shot."
Fryberg's recent Tweets point to anger and frustration.
