Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman: Surrender, burglary suspect

-

Reality TV star Duane “Dog” Chapman is calling on the person who stole show merchandis­e and items belonging to his late wife to surrender to police.

Chapman told reporters Friday he'll ask police not to press charges if the person comes in in the next 48 hours.

Chapman spoke outside his damaged storefront in the Denver suburb of Edgewater as police released surveillan­ce video of Monday night's burglary.

The items stolen included the bounty hunting gear of his wife, Beth Chapman, who died in June of cancer.

But the star of the “Dog the Bounty Hunter” franchise said he's leaving the case to police.

Chapman's business is on a busy street that borders Denver.

Freed from Swedish jail, rapper A$AP Rocky lands in US

Nearly a month after he was arrested in Sweden, rapper A$AP Rocky returned to the United States as the verdict in an assault case against him and two other Americans looms.

Los Angeles television stations reported the 30-year-old artist was among a group of people shown emerging from a private airplane at Los Angeles Internatio­nal Airport in footage broadcast late Friday night.

The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, had flown out of Stockholm Arlanda Airport on Friday, the same day the trio learned they would be released while judges mull a verdict that's expected Aug. 14.

Along with David Rispers Jr. and Bladimir Corniel, the rapper is accused of beating 19-year-old Mustafa Jafari on June 30 outside a fast-food restaurant in central Stockholm.

Mayers, who had been jailed since his July 3 arrest, pleaded not guilty at the start of the three-day trial Tuesday.

‘Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot to play Hedy Lamarr in miniseries

“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot is taking on a real-life woman's remarkable history.

Showtime said Friday that Gadot will play actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr in a limited series.

Lamarr, a stunning beauty who came to Hollywood from Europe in the late 1930s, worked with top stars including Judy Garland and Clark Gable. “Ziegfeld Girl” in 1941 and 1940's “Boom Town” were among Lamarr's films.

But it was her work as an inventor that distinguis­hed her, including a patented device that became a foundation for modern Wi-fi technology.

The untitled series will look at feminism during Hollywood's golden age and World War II through Lamarr's life and work, Showtime said. An air date was not announced.

Kevin Spacey reads poem about dejected boxer at Rome museum

Actor Kevin Spacey is performing again, this time reading a poem about a worn-out and lonely boxer during an appearance at a Rome museum weeks after a criminal sexual misconduct case against him collapsed.

The two-time Oscar winner stood next to a bronze statue of a battered fighter at the National Roman Museum on Friday while reciting Italian poet Gabriele Tinti's “The Boxer.”

Tinti's poem is about a fighter left bleeding at ringside, cast aside despite previous glory.

Spacey read: “They used me for their entertainm­ent, fed on shoddy stuff. Life was over in a moment.”

He remains under investigat­ion for alleged sexual misconduct in London and Los Angeles.
