Anne Hathaway finally learned how to breathe while preparing for her new film ‘Mother Mary.’ It was her most challenging role yet.

Anne Hathaway finally learned how to breathe while preparing for her new film 'Mother Mary.' It was her most challenging role yet.

Anne Hathaway is a master at her craft, but that doesn't mean it always comes easy. In an interview for theAugust issue of Vogue, Hathaway detailed the work that went into preparing for her starring role in the upcoming melodramaMother Mary. In the David Lowery-directed film, Hathaway plays the titular pop star, who's so famous she's considered more of a deity than a human being. As Mother Mary spirals out, she flees and finds solace in an old friend, played by Michaela Coel. BringingMother Maryto life was, according to Hathaway, "transformational." The veteran actress admitted that taking on the role meant surrendering her ego. "I had to submit to being a beginner," she told Vogue. "The humility of that — showing up every day knowing you're going to suck. And it has to be okay. You're not 'bad.' You're just a beginner. Getting to that mindset — I had to shed some things that were hard to shed. It was welcome. But it was hard, the way transformational experiences can be hard." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine) After recognizing that she'd have to "become material [Lowery] could craft with," as she told Vogue, Hathaway did exactly that. Mother Mary, she added, wasn't a role she could just "perform." To prepare for the movie, which wrapped filming in Cologne, Germany, in 2024, Hathaway endured nearly two years of daily dance classes, which at one point ran from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The 42-year-old star also went through intensive voice lessons so she'd be able to belt out theMother Marysongs written by Taylor Swift-approved producer Jack Antonoff andBratsuperstar Charli XCX. "You can't tell me you're angry;show me.Proprioception. That was the training, getting Annie out of her head," Dani Vitale, the film's choreographer, told Vogue of what she told Hathaway upon meeting her. "I remember that first day, being like,Oh no.Because she's like a doll, you know? So pretty, so graceful. I thought,Oh God, I have to break this person." But continued dance training with Vitale helped Hathaway become more in tune with her own body. Hathaway, perhaps most notably, unlocked a crucial skill: The ability to breathe. "I finally learned how to breathe," Hathaway told Vogue. "My body was so locked up — I literally couldn't take a deep breath. I'd been trying to open that space for years and I thought it was physically impossible. All my breath, it was stuck." Hathaway has a history of throwing herself into her roles. For her 2022 Apple TV+ seriesWeCrashed, Hathaway went ona raw vegan dietto imitate the lifestyle of Rebekah Neumann, the wife of WeWork founder Adam Neumann, whom she played in the miniseries. The New York native, while preparing for the role of Fantine in 2012'sLes Misérables,lost 25 poundsin a matter of weeks. (She's since called the weight losstaxing on her body and her brain.) But working onMother Maryfeels like even more of a departure for Hathaway, who previously spoke about her fierce dedication. "I'd rather not be unseated on the day [of filming] by my anxiety," the actresstold Vanity Fair in 2024. "Part of the way I can tell myself that I am okay is by having such a complete level of preparation that if I get a critical voice in my head, you can quiet it down by saying that you did everything you could to prepare." Hathaway went intoMother Maryknowing that the project would be different from anything she'd ever done before — and she clearly rose to the occasion. While a release date for the film has yet to be set, it seems likely that fans will be in for a treat.

Judge questions motive behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal indictment

Judge questions motive behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal indictment

The federal judge overseeingKilmar Abrego Garcia'swrongful deportation case has ordered the Trump administration to produce witnesses who can testify about the government's plans should Abrego Garcia be released from custody in Tennessee. "I need to understand the process ... someone who can answer questions about the immediate next steps if Mr. Abrego is released from criminal custody," said the judge at a hearing Monday in Maryland. She scheduled the next hearing for Thursday afternoon. MORE: Trump administration plans to deport Abrego Garcia to 3rd country, prosecutors say The development came after a Justice Department attorney told a Judge Xinis that the government's "plan at this stage" is to deport Abrego Garcia to a third country if he is released on bond by a judge in Tennessee, where he is facing human smuggling charges. The statement came during a hearing on whether Abrego Garcia should be transferred to Maryland as he awaits trial in Tennessee. Judge Xinis said that while the injunction sheissued in Aprilto return Abrego Garcia from detention in El Salvador "has been met in part," her order specifically required his return to Maryland. "Plaintiffs are correct that the scope of injunctive relief contemplates return to the status quo ante -- that is arguably return to Maryland, to the last place Mr. Abrego Garcia had been before his unlawful arrest and unlawful detention and when he was on supervised release" after fleeing his native El Salvador, Judge Xinis said. Abrego Garcia, who was deported in March to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution, wasbrought back to the U.S.last month to face charges in Tennessee of allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S. while he was living in Maryland. He has pleaded not guilty. Judge Xinis, who said she will take the motion to dissolve the injunction under advisement, pressed DOJ attorneys on their plans to deport Abrego Garcia to a third country, saying "the risk of future violations is not is not off the table." "We're in the same position, which is lots of lots of readouts to the world about what's going to happen, some doubling back on each other and inconsistent with one another, but no real paper, like no notice of removal to a third country," Judge Xinis said. When asked what country the government plans to deport Abrego Garcia to, Guynn said "there are a number of countries that are willing to accept aliens such as Abrego Garcia." "[Do] you acknowledge that there is at least, at a minimum, when DHS is attempting to identify a third country, that you reach out to that third country for assurances that the alien will not be persecuted or tortured?" Judge Xinis asked DOJ attorney Jonathan Guynn. "Yes, that's my understanding," Guynn replied. MORE: Abrego Garcia was subjected to 'severe mistreatment' at CECOT, his lawyers say Andrew Rossman, one of Abrego Garcia's attorneys, called the DOJ's plans to deport his client to a third country "disturbing." "The obvious concern is that the moment that he is released from the marshals' custody, he will be taken to DHS custody, put on a plane and sent to a third country," Rossman said. "We don't know which country. We don't know under what circumstances. We don't know whether it would be lawful or not." Earlier in the hearing, Judge Xinis denied the Trump administration's request to dismiss Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation case against the government. The judge pressed DOJ attorneys on why they claimed in May court filings that they could not return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. aftersecuring an indictmentagainst him in Tennessee on charges of human smuggling. "Your client secured an indictment against Mr. Abrego Garcia on May 21 ... how could you six days later say you had no power to produce him?" Judge Xinis asked. "Why else would you file a criminal indictment against someone who you can't produce? It's illogical." Judge Xinis, pointing to a filing submitted by the DOJ in May that said the U.S. government did not have the power to bring Abrego Garcia back from detention in El Salvador, repeatedly asked DOJ layers about the timeline of the criminal probe and whether the Tennessee indictment played a role in his release. "Those are powerful arguments to say 'I don't have the power'... yet, at the same time, you're putting in place the power of the prosecutorial arm to charge an individual, who you say will never come back to the United States, with a crime," Judge Xinis said. "You began a criminal investigation ... on April 28, which was a month after this case began, and common sense would dictate that the only possible defensible use of investigative criminal resources would be if you eventually secured an indictment to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back," Judge Xinis said. When DOJ attorney Bridget O'Hickey said the investigation into Abrego Garcia in Tennessee did not begin on April 28, Judge Xinis said the attorney was contradicting the government's sworn testimony in the criminal case. "That's noteworthy to me, because I do believe that your client has taken a different position in front of the Tennessee court," Judge Xinis said. O'Hickey said Abrego Garcia was not indicted "with the purpose of bringing him back." MORE: Trump administration plans to deport Abrego Garcia to 3rd country, prosecutors say "He was indicted because he was under investigation for those criminal charges," O'Hickey said. When Judge Xinis asked the plaintiffs how they found out Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S., Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said, "We found out on ABC News." Abrego Garcia's attorneys filed anemergency motionlast week seeking to have him returned to Maryland as he awaits trial, but government attorneys say they will seek to deport him to a country other than his native El Salvador, where he is prohibited from being sent due to a 2019 court order. The magistrate judge overseeing the Tennessee case is expected torelease him on bondas he awaits trial, setting up a battle over his potential removal. In a court filing last week, Abrego Garcia's attorneys said he had been subjected tosevere mistreatmentincluding "beatings, severe deprivation, inadequate nutrition and psychological torture" while he was held in CECOT, arguing that he "could face persecution or torture if removed directly to various other countries, including but not limited to countries with notorious human rights abuses like Libya, South Sudan, and Eritrea." The next hearing in Abrego Garcia's criminal case is set for July 16 in Tennessee. Robert McGuire, acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, filed a motion last week to set a jury trial date "within 70 days of his initial appearance."

Russian minister dies by suicide hours after getting fired by Putin, officials say

Russian minister dies by suicide hours after getting fired by Putin, officials say

Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit died by suicide on Monday, just hours after Russian PresidentVladimir Putinfired him from the job, officials said. Starovoit was dismissed byPutinon Monday morning. The decree announcing his dismissal was published on the official Kremlin website, with his deputy Andrey Nikitin appointed acting minister. Asked by reporters for the reasons behind Starovoit's dismissal, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied this was due to a "lack of trust," but he did not give any alternative reason. The Investigative Committee of Russia said in a statement that Starovoit's body was found inside a car in Odintsovo, a suburb of Moscow. He was found with a gunshot wound, the committee said. It said the circumstances of his death were being investigated but the "main theory is suicide." Before he became a minister in May 2024, Starovoit was the governor of the southern Russian Kursk region. While he left the post before Ukraine's surprise incursion, he was partially blamed for security failures in the Russian region. Russian media reported on Monday that Starovoit has been implicated in an investigation into the embezzlement of state funds allocated for building fortifications in the region. Vesti, a state TV program, as well as RBC, a Russian independent business media outlet, and the Russian business daily newspaper Kommersant reported that he was being investigated. Kommersant said Starovoit was facing an arrest. Alexei Smirnov, Starovoit's predecessor in the Kursk governor role who was previously his deputy, was arrested in the same case in April this year, according to court in Moscow. The dismissal came amid a multi-day disruption to air travel in Russia. Russian Federal Agency for Air Transport said 485 flights were canceled, 88 were diverted and 1,900 were delayed over the weekend and into Monday. The agency said the cancellations were down to "external interference," without giving any specifics. But the Russian Defense Ministry said more than 400 Ukrainian long-range strikes were intercepted during the same period of time. The Ukrainian military said it also struck a chemical plant in Krasnozavodsk, north of Moscow early on Monday. It said the plant manufactures "pyrotechnic devices and ammunition, including thermobaric warheads for Shahed-type" drones. At least 12 civilians were killed and more than 90 injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine in the 24 hours to mid-morning on Monday, according to Ukrainian authorities. At least 29 people, including three children aged 3, 7 and 11, were injured when Russian drones hit a residential building, a kindergarten and a commercial area at 6 a.m. local time Monday (11 p.m. ET on Sunday) in Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine. At least 17 more people, including a teenage boy, were injured when the same city was struck with drones again just five hours later, according to Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov. The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia fired four surface-to-air missiles and 101 Shahed-type drones at Ukraine in the past 24 hours, adding that it downed 75 of the drones either by shooting them down or by jamming. The Land Forces of Ukraine said on Monday that two of its recruitment offices were hit by Russian drones on Monday, the latest in a string of similar incidents. Six draft offices across the country have been attacked by Russian drones in just over a week, the Land Forces said in a statement, adding that they believed Russia was attacking the offices in an attempt to disrupt the Ukrainian military's enlistment process. At least two people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in these attacks, the statement said.

'Twilight' Heartthrob Shares the Real Story Behind His Character's Surprising Evolution

'Twilight' Heartthrob Shares the Real Story Behind His Character's Surprising Evolution

'Twilight' Heartthrob Shares the Real Story Behind His Character's Surprising Evolutionoriginally appeared onParade. As brooding vampire Jasper Hale in the blockbusterTwilightfilm series,Jackson Rathbonewon the hearts of countless fans who remain completely in love with the character years later...and many are still wondering about one of the traits that set Jasper apart from the other sparkly-skinned immortals in Forks, Washington. In a video shared to TikTok recently from a panel appearance, Rathbone, 40, responded to a fan's question about why Jasper's accent changed as the movies went on, becoming more Southern in the later installments. "I'm from a small town in west Texas," Rathbone explained, "and for the first film, they thought it would be too much, you know — we're teenagers hiding in the Pacific Northwest, so they just said, we'll do a Texas accent in the way that Rob sits down," he quipped before poking fun at the infamous wayRobert Pattinsonsat down inTwilight, resting his fingertips on a table as he lowered himself to a seated position. As Rathbone continued, it wasDavid Slade, the British director ofEclipse, who suggested that Jasper should have an accent. "We were having dinner and he said 'Jackson, your accent is amazing, why don't we put it in the film?'" Rathbone recalled, before his former co-starPeter Facinelli(who played Carlisle) interjected. "Jackson said, 'Your accent's actually amazing too,'" Facinelli added. "I said, 'Stop talking, I don't like your accent. My people threw your people's tea in the ocean. Get on outta here,'" Rathbone joked, adding, "But that's honestly why." Of course, as many fans have noted over the years, it did make sense for Jasper to have an accent like Rathbone, since the character was born in Texas. AsMoviewebreported, Rathbone recently expressed his interest in a potential prequel series about former Confederate Army major Jasper, noting, "There was a darkness in his past." "He's seen literal horror of war at 17 years old, and there's a lot of darkness there. So what I'd love to explore is the idea of when he meets Alice, that she's there to not only send him forward about what happened in life, but to remind him that he's loved and that he actually is worth something," Rathbone explained.

Bees attack French town, leaving 24 injured

Bees attack French town, leaving 24 injured

AURILLAC, France (AP) — A unusual attack by bees in the French town of Aurillac has left 24 people injured, including three who were in critical condition but have since improved, according to local authorities. Passersby were stung over a period of about 30 minutes on Sunday morning, according to the Prefecture of Cantal, in south-central France. Firefighters and medical teams were rushed to the scene to treat the victims, while police set up a security perimeter until the bees stopped their attack. The three people in critical condition were evacuated to a local hospital. Pierre Mathonier, the mayor of Aurillac, told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday that their condition has improved. One of them was a 78-year-old person who had to be resuscitated after cardiorespiratory arrest and is now in stable condition, he said. The two others "are in good health," he added. According to the mayor, the incident may have been related to Asian hornets threatening a beehive that had been installed on the roof terrace of a downtown hotel more than a decade ago. He said that this had likely caused the bees to become aggressive. Mathonier said that the beekeeper has removed the beehive and relocated it outside of the town. Lt. Col. Michel Cayla, in charge of the local fire services, said that he had never experienced such an attack. He said the victim who was in cardiorespiratory arrest had to be resuscitated in the fire department's ambulance. "In terms of the number of victims, the panic among the people and the severity of some of the injuries, it was impressive," he told broadcaster TF1.
