San Francisco cable car dedicated to late Bennett

A cable car recently dedicated to the late Tony Bennett rolls past the landmark Fairmont hotel where the singer in 1961 first performed the song that would forever tie him to San Francisco.

San Francisco officials on Valentine’s Day dedicated one of the city’s iconic cable cars to Bennett, whose “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” included a line about “the city where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.” He died at age 96 last summer.

The song was an enormous hit and Bennett returned to the city often, even appearing with the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein when she was mayor to toast the rebuild of the cable system in 1984. His statue is on the front lawn of the Fairmont San Francisco, and a short street by the hotel is named for him.

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has 42 cable cars, of which four are dedicated to individuals, including baseball’s former center fielder Willie Mays, according to Arne Hansen, superintendent of cable car vehicle maintenance.

Car 53, built in 1907, was in the process of being restored after an accident when the idea came up to dedicate the car to Bennett. It is shiny red with blue and and white trim and features plaques explaining the singer’s connection to San Francisco.

Delevingne’s Los Angeles home destroyed in fire

The Los Angeles home of model and actor Cara Delevingne was destroyed in a fire Friday.

One firefighter was taken to a hospital in fair condition with unspecified injuries, and one unidentified person from the house suffered minor smoke inhalation, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange said.

Delevingne shared several Instagram stories referring to the fire after TMZ reported that the house in the Studio City neighborhood that was engulfed in flames before dawn belonged to her. Delevingne is currently appearing in a production of “Cabaret” on London’s West End and was apparently not at home.

Hours later, Delevingne, shared a video that showed a street full of fire trucks with lights flashing.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help,” another Instagram story read.

Williams ‘lacked capacity’ when she agreed to documentary, filings say

More information is coming out about the lawsuit filed last month to stop the four-hour Lifetime documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?” from airing.

The complaint filed by Williams’ temporary guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, on Feb. 21 was unsealed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court, according to The Hollywood Reporter and NBC News, which first reported the news.

In this court filing, obtained by USA TODAY Thursday, Morrissey alleged Williams “was not, and is not, capable of consenting to the terms” of the contract for filming the documentary. On Feb. 22, Williams’ team revealed the former daytime talk show host had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

“As a result of her medical condition, (Williams) lacked capacity when the Contract was purportedly executed, and she remains in that condition,” the lawsuit said.

A+E Television Networks and Entertainment One Reality Productions are listed as the defendants in the lawsuit.
