■ The very mention of Manchester still brings

Ariana Grande to tears. The singer cried during an interview

Friday with

Ebro for Beats 1 on Apple Music as she shared thoughts on the 2017 concert in England, when a suicide bomber killed 22 people. She said terrorists “want you to be afraid,” adding that those who just heard about it in the news had moved on. But for her and others, the challenge became just to “live in the moment” and not be overwhelme­d by fear. Her album Sweetener includes a song for Manchester survivors, “Get Well Soon.” ■ Stan Lee’s restrainin­g order against a former business manager was extended for three years Friday, in another apparent step toward stability for the Marvel Comics mogul after a tumultuous year. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Keya Morgan to stay away from Lee and his family members, making permanent a previous temporary restrainin­g order that Lee’s lawyers had received. The 95-yearold Lee has been the subject of a power struggle involving his daughter, Morgan and others who sought roles in his life and business after the death last year of Lee’s wife, Joan, who was his de facto manager and closest adviser. Lee’s lawyer Jonathan Freund said Lee and his family are pleased he can move forward with his life and get on with his work “without being bothered or harassed.” Morgan gained control over Lee’s business for several months this year, until elder abuse allegation­s emerged from Lee’s attorneys and police opened an investigat­ion into the issue. Morgan has not been charged with elder abuse, but he has been charged with reporting a false emergency for calling 911 when a social worker and detectives went to check on Lee.
