“Supergirl” to Broadway:

-

To play songwriter Carole King in “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” Melissa Benoist, above, had to learn lines and stage directions. Lyrics, not so much. The actress, star of The CW’s “Supergirl,” has been listening to King since she was a kid; her parents played a steady diet of classics such as “So Far Away” and “It’s Too Late.” She’s in the musical for two months, making her Broadway debut.

Bono honors Bourdain:

U2 frontman Bono honored the late Anthony Bourdain toward the end of a performanc­e at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. “And now this great storytelle­r, who I’m sure has stories he couldn’t tell us ... this is a song inspired by a great, great, great friend of ours. His name is Michael Hutchence,” Bono said Monday before an impassione­d version of “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of,” written by the band after INXS singer Hutchence was found dead in 1997 of an apparent suicide. Bourdain, 61, was found dead of an apparent suicide last week in France.

McGowan indicted:

A grand jury in Virginia has indicted actress Rose McGowan on one felony count of cocaine possession. Charging documents say cocaine was found in a wallet she left behind on a plane last year. McGowan has said the cocaine isn’t hers, suggesting that the drugs were planted at the behest of movie producer Harvey Weinstein. She was among the first to accuse Weinstein of sexual assault.
