Rangers Dodgers Baseball

Emmet Sheehan (2-0) pitched six innings of four-hit ball with six strikeouts for the defending World Series champion Dodgers, whose 11-3 start is the best in the majors. Will Smith reached base four times and scored two runs.

Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff homer, another two-run shot and a double for the Rangers, who have lost six of nine with theirback-to-back defeatsat Dodger Stadium. The rest of Texas' lineup managed just one hit, a sixth-inning single by Josh Jung.

Sheehan excelled against almost every Texas hitter except Nimmo, who hammered his second pitch 405 feet to dead center for the 15th leadoff homer of the longtime Mets slugger's career.

Ohtani answered moments later with a blast to right for his first homer at Chavez Ravine this season while also extendinghis on-base streak to 45 games. The four-time MVP has four home runs in eight games after starting the season in a six-game homer drought.

Five batters later, Hernández brought home Smith and Freddie Freeman with a big shot to left, his third of the season.

Jack Leiter (1-1) yielded five runs on five hits and four walks while failing to get out of the fourth inning for Texas.

Nimmo's two-run shot in the sixth trimmed LA's lead to 5-3 and secured his first multi-homer game for his new team.

Hernández doubled and scored on Andy Pages' single in the eighth.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn't give the ninth inning to new closer Edwin Diaz, who blew a three-run lead in Friday's victory. Blake Treinen allowed two baserunners and got two outs before Alex Vesia struck out Danny Jansen to secure his first save.

Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers, dies at 92

NEW DELHI (AP) — Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers whose performances shaped the country’s musical memory and modern cinema, has died. She was 92.

The legendary singer across genres died Sunday of multiple organ failure at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, Pratit Samdani, a physician at the hospital said. Her son, Anand Bhosle, told reporters that her last rites will be performed on Monday.

Asha was admitted at the hospital on late Saturday with a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle said in a social media post.

Asha’s timeless voice resonated across a film-obsessed India for nearly eight decades, recorded on about 12,000 songs. She boldly embraced cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity that stood uniquely apart from her sister,Lata Mangeshkar, herself a legendary voice revered as the “Melody Queen.”

Asha’s death was widely condoled.

“I am deeply saddened” by her passing, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post.

“Her unique musical journey spanning decades has enriched our cultural heritage and touched the hearts of countless people around the world,” Modi said. “From soulful melodies to spirited compositions, her voice carried a timeless brilliance.”

Born on Sept. 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle was initiated into music by her father Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was also a trained singer. All her four siblings became accomplished singers and musicians.

Asha's first marriage, in 1949, ended in separation in 1960. Her second marriage was to iconic music composer R.D. Burman in 1980. She is survived by a son and grandchildren.

3 Best Peacock Movies to Binge-Watch This Weekend (April 11-12)

Peacock's movie lineup for April is very front-loaded, which means that most of the streamer's new films for the month have already arrived.

There are some exceptions to that, including the recently arrivedFive Nights at Freddy's 2. The original was a massive hit despite debuting in theaters the same day it dropped on Peacock.

Now, that film is one ofWatch With Us' choices for the three best Peacock movies to binge-watch this weekend.

Our remaining picks include an over-the-top comedy and a very unusual animated film.

What’s New on Peacock in April 2026 — The Full List of Movies and TV Shows

'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' (2025)

Five Nights at Freddy's 2kicks off in 2002, two years after the events of the original film. The children killed by William Afton (Matthew Lillard) possessed his animatronic creatures and took their revenge. Or at least that's what Mich Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) wants to believe. But he's smart enough to refuse the requests of his younger sister, Abby Schmidt (Piper Rubio), to rebuild the creatures so she can reunite with her friends.

Mike is also increasingly wary of Officer Vanessa Shelly (Elizabeth Lail), the daughter of Afton, who may not be as blameless for her father's rampage as he previously believed. With that relationship in peril, Toy Chica (Megan Fox) and the Marionette lure Abby to one of the original sites to restart the animatronics' rampage. And this time, there's no guarantee that the Schmidt family will be spared.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2is streaming onPeacock.

'Liar Liar' (1997)

Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a great lawyer and an even better liar inLiar Liar. He lies so easily that it makes him very effective in court, even though Fletcher's dishonesty led to the end of his marriage to Audrey Reede (Maura Tierney). After letting down his young son, Max (Justin Cooper), on his birthday, Fletcher is struck by Max's birthday wish that he be unable to tell a lie for a single day.

It's not as if Fletcher believes in birthday wishes, but this one is real, and it came at an inopportune time. Fletcher has to appear in court to settle a high-profile divorce, and he has to be completely truthful while doing it. Not even physically beating himself up is enough to break the hold that this curse has on him.

Liar Liaris streaming onPeacock.

'Piece by Piece' (2024)

Piece by Pieceis both a Lego movie and a music biopic forPharrell Williams, who voices himself in the film. It's an interesting way to present the largely true story of Williams' rise in the music industry as well as his occasional falls and stumbles. Even Williams' real-life wife,Helen Lasichanh, and his parents get in on the fun of voicing themselves.

But one of the biggest attractions of this film is its musical appearances byGwen Stefani,Snoop Dogg,Justin Timberlake,Missy Elliott,Jay-Zand several others, all of whom play themselves. Williams acknowledges that he owes his career and some positive outcomes to his friends in the music industry, but he'll have to chart his own path to be fully happy with himself and his destination.

McDonald’s CEO Blames His Mom’s Advice for His Viral Reaction to Trying the Big Arch Burger

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski blamed his mom’s parenting for his tiny bite and now-viral reaction to trying the fast food chain’s new Big Arch Burger

NEED TO KNOW

• The CEO recalled finding out about his viral moment from his kids before receiving an influx of calls, emails and texts

• “I’m definitely not a vegetarian,” he quipped while responding to a theory about his reaction to tasting the burger

The CEO of McDonald’s is blaming his mother for his viral reaction to trying the newBig Arch Burger.

In an interview withThe Wall Street Journalshared on Instagram on Monday, April 6,Chris Kempczinskirevealed why he took such a small and seemingly awkward bite while trying one of the fast food chain’s new menu items in anow-viral videothat he posted on Feb. 3.

“I’m definitely not a vegetarian,” the CEO quipped while responding to some of the theories surrounding his reaction to tasting the burger. “I blame it all on my mom because she told me, ‘Don’t talk with your mouth full.’ ”

“I think probably, in that case, I should have just said, ‘You know what? To hell with it, I’m gonna go talk with my mouth full.’ ”

As for why the CEO’s taste test went so viral? Many commenters claimed that Kempczinski’s reaction to tasting the burger — including saying “I love this product” — seemed to indicate that he was “acting” for the video while not actually enjoying the tiny bite he took of the burger.

“Not a single calorie was consumed in this video,” one user wrote in the comments, while another added, “Is the BIG BITE in the room with us??”

After the Feb. 3 video went viral, Kempczinski toldTheWall Street Journalthat he learned of his newfound social media fame when his kids called him and said, “Dad, you’ve gone viral — and not in a good way.”

“That’s when I knew, ‘Okay, something’s going on,’ ” he recalled. “And then I started getting texts and emails and calls. Invariably, they were all like ‘Hey, have you seen this?’ And it’s like, by the thousandth time, ‘Yeah, I’ve seen it.’ ”

Although the response to his promotional video wasn’t all positive, Kempczinski said he was happy that people were “talking about the Big Arch” nonetheless.

“I think when you go on to social media in general you have to have a thick skin,” he added.

Beyond reactions from both fans and critics, other fast food chains — includingBurger Kingand Wendy’s — were quick to take advantage of Kempczinski’s viral moment.

On March 2, Tom Curtis, the president of Burger King U.S. & Canada, got his own viral moment when he shared avideoof himself taking an enthusiastic bite of a Whopper.

“Thought we’d replay this,” the brand wrote in the caption.

Commenters were quick to make the connection between the two videos, writing, “Now compare this to the McDonald’s CEO.”

North Korean leader Kim backs China's push for ‘multipolar world’ in talks with foreign minister

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leaderKim Jong Unvoiced support for China’s push to build a “multipolar world” and called for deeper ties between the traditional allies during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, state media said Saturday.

North Korea China

During the meeting Friday, Kim said his government will fully support Chinese efforts to achieve territorial integrity based on its“one-China principle,”a reference to Beijing’s official position that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, according to North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency.

Kim also outlinedNorth Korea’sposition on unspecified regional and international issues of “mutual concern” and said sustained development of ties between the two countries has become more crucial in the current geopolitical environment, KCNA said.

Wang, on a two-day trip to North Korea, said the countries’ relations were entering a “new phase” following asummitlast year between Kim and Chinese PresidentXi Jinping.

Embracing the ideas of a “new Cold War” and a “multipolarized world,” Kim has sought to break out of international isolation and push a more assertive foreign policy by expanding ties with governments locked in confrontations with the United States.

While Russia has been Kim’s top foreign policy priority in recent years, sending thousands of troops and large weapons shipments to support its war against Ukraine, he has also been cozying up to China, the North’s traditional main ally and economic lifeline.

Kim joined Russian President Vladimir Putin at a World War II ceremony in Beijing in September and held his first summit with Xi Jinping in six years, moves that supported his efforts to portray North Korea as part of a united front against Washington.

North Korea and China last month resumed directflight and passenger train services, which had been suspended since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Wang arrived in Pyongyang on Thursday in his first visit to North Korea in seven years. He earlier met with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Sun Hui and discussed ways to facilitate further cooperation and exchanges and holding “in-depth” talks on international issues, state media from both countries said.

The state media outlets did not mention whether Wang and North Korean officials discussed issues related to the U.S. or the ongoingwar in the Middle East.

Wang’s trip to North Korea came before U.S. President Donald Trump travels to Beijing for arescheduled summitwith Xi Jinping in May. Some South Korean officials have expressed hope the Trump-Xi meeting could provide a diplomatic opening with Pyongyang.

Kim has suspended all meaningful dialogue with the U.S. and South Korea since the collapse of his diplomacy with Trump in 2019 during the American president’s first term. Kim has since taken a hard-line stance toward South Korea, which he now defines as his “most hostile” adversary, and rejected U.S. offers to resume talks, calling on Washington to drop its demand for North Korea’s denuclearization as a precondition.

Fiona Dourif Jokes Noah Wyle Is to Blame for Line About Her 'Witch's Cackle' in “The Pitt ”(Exclusive)

Fiona Dourif tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that she suspects Noah Wyle was responsible for a line about her character’s “witch’s cackle” in The Pitt

• “That's my real laugh. I have a really loud laugh that I actually find quite embarrassing," Dourif says

The actress says that the line was based on her own laugh and notes that Wyle, who plays Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, wrote the episode.

“That's my real laugh. I have a really loud laugh that I actually find quite embarrassing," Dourif says. "Noah Wyle wrote that episode and I remember reading it and being like, 'Oh my god.'"

"People say this to me all the time. They're like, 'Oh, I can always figure out where you are because I can hear your laugh from doors down.' And so they wrote it into the script,” she continues.

“There are a lot of women who are focused on work and then you get to middle age, like in your 40s, and you want to fill your life out a little bit. It's vulnerable and harder to do than when you're in your 20s,” she said.

"I felt very bashful myself in a lot of these scenes. But it was sweet to take that twirl. I was happy the show explored that with me."

As for Wyle, he told PEOPLE about the multiple roles he balances on set in an interview ahead of the season 2 premiere. TheERalum executive produces the series with showrunners R. Scott Gemmill and John Wells. He has written two episodes each season. He also directed his first episode in season 2.

“There wasn't a lot of time for analysis,” he said of the time between seasons. “We shot the first season and it started airing just as we were pretty much done with it. Then I was back in the writing room two weeks and four days after we wrapped.”

Wyle said the success of the first season gave the production team "validation and proof of concept.”

“We went back to season 2 with a little bit more confidence that our instincts were good and that we should lean into them,” he said.

The Pittseason 2 finale will air Thursday, April 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max.
