The spanish "Popular Party" is supposed to withdraw that would force girls of 16-17 years old to get the consent od their parents to finish a pregnancy. The bill is currently being examinated at the spain congress.

The rights groups said the draft legislation poses a serious threat to the health and sexual and reproductive rights of girls and creates unjustified barriers to safe and legal abortion. International human rights law recognizes that access to safe and legal abortions is fundamental to women and girls’ exercise of their human rights, including the rights to life, freedom from discrimination, equality, health, and privacy.
Current Spanish law requires 16 and 17-year-olds to inform their legal representatives, but does not require the consent of those representatives. The current law removes even the notification requirement when there is the possibility notification could provoke a serious conflict or family violence, threats, coercion, abuse, or abandonment.

Personally I think that in most of the cases women should be able to decide themselves if they wanna keep a baby or not, before of keeping it and be a bad mother leaving aside your child.

Attorney Kristy Greenberg said in federal court in Manhattan that an initial review of "voluminous" material in Alonzo Knowles' email accounts, drop boxes and phone records show the possibility of more victims and more crimes like the unauthorized use of credit card information.
She also said prosecutors are thinking about filing him with additional charges and that they are talking with his lawyer to get a deal.
The man was lured when an undercover FBI agent asked him to get for 80.000$ 15 stolen movies and tv scripts and the social security of three athletes and an actress.
None of the victims have been identified officially and no names were disclosed Friday, but sources have told the Daily News that Knowles stole scripts to the hit Starz show “Power” by hacking into the email of one of the stars of the show.

Hollywood's Diversity Problem Doesn't Get More Obvious Than This

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hollywood-reporter-roundtable-cover-diversity_564ccbe5e4b08c74b733c9e4?utm_hp_ref=media&ir=Media&section=media


Summary

The news talks about the fact that in the special issue of The Hollywood Reporter that is published every year and where they put forward some actresses who are possible candidates to receive awards for their work in tv and movies, there's no shortage of talented women of color. 
The news says that the lack of women of coulour was so palpable that the magazone had to publish it with an essay titled "Why Every Actress on The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable Cover Is White." Stephen Galloway, the executive director of THR, said that even for him, a white man, it was impossible to ignore that there wasn't any black actress. Gallaway thinks that this is appalling, but it just represents the awful truth, which is that this year there are no actresses belonging to a minority that are being nominated for an Oscar. 
Galloway gives the fault on Industry for not putting ahead many colored actresses, because he says the Academy and the magazine don't make films, they just recognize the work that the industry creates. 
An important quote has been given by Viola Davis, an Academy Award nominee, and she says you can win any award for work that doesn't exist.

Lindsay Lohan Is Dead Serious About Running For President

http://elitedaily.com/entertainment/lindsay-lohan-dead-serious-running-president/1250900/

Published on the Elite Daily, the news talks about the fact that Lindsay Lohan is serious when she says that she's running for president.
The famous trainwreck  announced her decision to run for prez via Instagram, and he seems to actually be pretty serious and not be kidding. 
Even if Lindsay's announcement was very unexpected, it wasn't surprising because that's what people like her does. But our lack of understanding is that lately she hasn't been on the focus of the attention and she hasn't acted in any movie in the past 5 years. The only thing that she has done these years is spending time in jail. 
With humour, the news ends with saying that a felony rap sheet limits one's ability to run for president but though she'd be better than Trump.
