There's a lot you could do with $3,500: send a small family to Disney World for a long weekend; secure a pair of just-okay seats for Thursday night's Knicks-Pacers playoff game at MSG; purchase a used 2017 Lincoln MKX that was just listed on New York Craigslist. But would you buy an iPhone for $3,500? That's the question President Donald Trump is indirectly asking the American people today with his threat to impose tariffs on Apple. An iPhone made in the USA has long been a hobbyhorse of the president's, and he's back at it, as Issie Lapowsky notes today—explaining why it's basically unfeasible and presenting the surprising history of his obsession.

I didn't know what to expect when it came to touring 130 years of movie history alongside a true legend of cinema, but Kathy Bates has a way of putting you at ease. Our visit to the Academy Museum, which holds several mementos of her most memorable screen projects, was only the start of an emotional day for Bates. She reflected on her life and career, at a moment when she's unexpectedly experiencing a new Hollywood act—and feeling love from fans like never before. As she told me later over lunch, "I was like, 'Y'all, where were you when I was sitting on the couch by myself?'" |

Bates and I chatted plenty about Matlock, Misery, and Titanic—but she was also incredibly candid about other topics, such as her lifelong battle with depression. Rarely, if ever, have I found a star of her stature more willing to be so vulnerable and open, on the record. —Hollywood correspondent David Canfield |

What you saw was part of their normal repartee, okay? |
The activist and author of the landmark rape study, Against Our Will, lived long enough to see the struggle is still just beginning. |
The president is threatening to impose tariffs on Apple if it doesn't deliver American-made iPhones—but as is often the case with Trump, he may be more concerned about optics than outcomes. |

"I tried so hard to 'gotcha' her," says true-crime filmmaker Nicole Rittenmeyer of her new ID docuseries, Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie. Rittenmeyer was expecting to learn what really happened to Papini, the California mother who disappeared in 2016. Initially, it seemed that Papini had been kidnapped; later, investigators said the whole thing was a hoax cooked up by Papini, with support from her ex-boyfriend. So: Why did Papini disappear for 22 days? Why did she lie about it? And why did she wait until now to set the record straight? It might be a spoiler to announce here that none of those questions get fully answered by the new show, though Rittenmeyer truly tried. |
