Lady Gaga’s Haus Laboratories beauty brand and Amazon Beauty, its exclusive retail partner, are set to open a two-day pop-up shop at the Grove shopping center in Los Angeles next week.

Previously, the collection of lip liners, shimmer powders and lipsticks, which was announced in July and hit Amazon’s virtual shelves in mid-September, has been available only online.

The brand’s first bricks-and-mortar retail space is scheduled to take up residence between the American Girl store and the Pottery Barn Kids store on Dec. 5 and 6, showcasing the festive, holiday-themed Cosmic Love collection (which launched online just last week).

In addition, the pop-up promises immersive installations, a “full glam room” (we’re not quite sure what, exactly, that is but it certainly sounds more fun than a half glam room) and a chance to meet the brand’s global artistry director, makeup artist Sarah Tanno, who will be on hand to offer holiday tips.

The Haus Laboratories products range from $16 for a lip liner to $96 for a Glam Attack Holiday Set of six shimmery liquid eyeshadow shades (which made this year’s list of Oprah’s Favorite Things), with most individual items falling in the $20 to $22 range.

Amazon Beauty X Haus Laboratories by Lady Gaga pop-up shop, the Grove, 189 The Grove Drive, noon to 5:30 p.m. Dec. 5 and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 6.

A cold Thanksgiving weekend beckons, with snow levels as low as 2,500 feet predicted, meaning tire-chain laws will be in effect in many SoCal mountains. Roadside installers will be standing by, the best $25 to $75 you’ll ever spend. But be prepared to do it yourself in a pinch. And “pinch” might be the appropriate word if you’re unfamiliar with the process. A video primer helps.

Here’s a refresher

• Be sure the chains fit. Grabbing the wrong set of chains can damage tires and suspension.

• If buying chains, consider cable versions, which often are simpler to work with.

• Figure out whether the chains go on the front or back tires — the owner’s manual can assist. So can your mechanic (the orientation of the engine gives it away).

• Practice at home. Lay out the chains or cables in the driveway, and practice when it’s dry and comfortable.

• Take gloves. A light set of water-resistant gardening gloves works well.

• Make sure all loops and cables are facing the same direction. A twisted link can lead to breakage.

• Once chains are installed and tightened, drive a short distance — say, 20 feet — and retighten them.

How to drive with chains

• Tire company Les Schwab recommends listening for “a loud sound of slapping, or metal on metal.” Stop as soon as possible to prevent damage.

• 25 mph is the maximum speed with chains, most manufacturers and road safety experts say.

• Brake and accelerate gradually to avoid skids or spinouts.

• Once on dry pavement, remove the chains.

If you get stuck in snow

• If you become stranded, the auto club urges you to stay with your vehicle. That makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.

• Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled up window to signal distress.

• Leave the dome light on at night. It only uses a small amount of electricity and will make it easier for rescuers to

find you.

• Clear the exhaust pipe of snow, ice or mud to prevent deadly carbon monoxide from seeping into the car.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — 

Iran’s supreme leader on Wednesday claimed without evidence that recent protests across the Islamic Republic over rising gasoline prices were part of a conspiracy involving the U.S., as authorities began to acknowledge the scale of the demonstrations.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the comment while addressing members of the Revolutionary Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force, which helped put down the demonstrations.

Meanwhile, one lawmaker was quoted as saying authorities arrested more than 7,000 people during the protests, and a security official alleged that demonstrators attempted to take over Iranian state television.

Authorities still haven’t offered any statistics on injuries, arrests or deaths in the protests and security crackdown that followed a government-set gas price increase on Nov. 15. Amnesty International says it believes the violence killed at least 143 people. Iran disputes that figure without offering any evidence to support its claims.

In his comments reported by state media, Khamenei said the Iranian people extinguished “a very dangerous deep conspiracy that cost so much money and effort.” He praised the police, the Revolutionary Guard and the Basij for “entering the field and carrying out their task in a very difficult confrontation.”

Khamenei, who has final say on all matters of state, described the protests as being orchestrated by “global arrogance,” referring to the U.S. He described America as seeing the price hikes as an opportunity to bring their “troops” to the field but the “move was destroyed by people.”

Wednesday marks the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Basij. Videos from the protests purport to show plainclothes Basij officials and others on motorcycles beating and detaining demonstratros.

Meanwhile, the moderate news website Entekhab quoted Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, a member of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, as saying more than 7,000 people had been arrested in the demonstrations. He did not elaborate.

Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli also claimed in an interview late Tuesday on state television that “some 500 people” tried to storm Iran’s state television offices. He did not elaborate, and no protests had been reported in the north Tehran neighborhood home to the state broadcaster.

Fazli also estimated as many as 200,000 people took part iin the demonstrations, higher than previous claims. He said protesters damaged more than 50 police stations, as well as 34 ambulances, 731 banks and 70 gas stations in the country.

“We have individuals who were killed by knives, shotguns and fires,” he said, without offering a casualty figure.

Starting Nov. 16, Iran shut down the internet across the country, limiting communications with the outside world. That made determining the scale and longevity of the protests difficult. Although home and office internet has been restored, access on cellphones remains rare.

The gas price hike came as Iran’s 80 million people have already seen their savings dwindle and jobs scarce under crushing U.S. sanctions. President Trump imposed them in the aftermath of unilaterally withdrawing America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

Love or Hate Him, Schiff Is Now a Star

The House impeachment inquiry will enter a new phase next week when the Judiciary Committee holds its first public hearing to begin deciding whether President Trump will become the third president in history to face impeachment.

The Dec. 4 hearing, which could include the president’s lawyers, will focus on the historical and constitutional basis for impeachment, the definition of an impeachable offenseand the process going forward.

New polls show the public hearings have done little to change Americans’ minds so far; the public narrowly favors impeaching Trump and removing him from office but remains sharply divided. More than 70 million viewers watched some portion of the hearings.

In terms of political consequences, at least one thing is clear: Rep. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank has emerged as a rising star among Democrats, even as Republicans from Trump on down accuse him of unfairness and bias.

Stormy Weather

A major storm is sweeping through California. It first hit Northern California yesterday, bringing heavy snow and winds that closed Interstate 80 near Lake Tahoe, with Central and Southern California expected to get the brunt today. Though the water is welcome, the storm is raising concerns about mudflows in burn areas and the possible closure of major freeways such as Interstate 5 and 15 due to snow, just in time for Thanksgiving travel.

In the hills northwest of Santa Barbara, residents hope the rain will extinguish the Cave fire without unleashing a deluge that could cause more life-threatening damage. And in L.A., officials said they would open some emergency shelters ahead of schedule to shield homeless people from the rain and cold.

Help for Those in Need, but …

It took months to get off the ground, but Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s plan to build a homeless shelter in every City Council district has taken off. In all, 30 shelters are in some stage of development for a total of 2,300 new beds. One problem: The city is at odds with L.A. County over who should pay. Meanwhile, L.A. officials are stepping up their lobbying efforts to secure more funding in next year’s state budget for board-and-care homes, which serve low-income people with debilitating mental illness.

Is This a Crime?

Nearly two months after Chelsea Becker delivered a stillborn baby boy, police arrested her and prosecutors charged her with murder. They cited an autopsy report showing the baby had toxic levels of methamphetamine in his system. Now, Becker is at the center of a legal and ethical debate over the criminalization of drug abuse and pregnancy that’s playing out across the country.

Food for Thought

“It’s hard to say when or how it started, but a few years ago my husband and I quit celebrating Thanksgiving,” writes Times reporter Esmeralda Bermudez. “The decision came gradually, after many conversations, after many autumns wrestling with the same uneasy feeling that came each time we gathered around a table to give thanks, to stuff our bellies full — in honor of a holiday born out of a dark history.” But what do you say and do when the kids have a Thanksgiving feast play at school? Here’s how one family learned to tell a new Thanksgiving story.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

On this date in 1961, a long line of an unusual type of stage parents snaked around a Hollywood block, hoping for a shot at stardom — for their cats, that is. They’d been drawn there by an open casting call for three feline roles in “Tales of Terror,” a film adaptation of several Edgar Allan Poe short stories. Among them: the titular role in “The Black Cat.” The Times reported in the Nov. 28, 1961, edition:

“More than 100 black cats lined up — as much as cats will line up — for an audition for a movie part in response to a newspaper ad seeking ‘a sagacious black cat.’ There were big black cats, little black cats, gray black cats, black kittens, black and white cats, white and black cats, nervous black cats, gentle black cats. There was even a white cat. It was there to keep a pal, a black cat, company. … The movie’s stars — Joyce Jameson, Vincent Price and Peter Lorre — played with each cat. To see if it was sagacious enough, someone said.”

A professional was ultimately cast in the lead role. But seven other black cats were picked for understudy and promotional parts.

BOSTON — 

Massachusetts became the first state to ban the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products, including menthol cigarettes, after the Republican governor Wednesday signed a bill passed in response to recent deaths linked to e-cigarettes and attempts to reduce their appeal to young people.

Anti-smoking groups hailed the ban signed by Gov. Charlie Baker, which outlaws the sale of flavored vaping products immediately and of menthol cigarettes starting June 1, 2020.

Some states have temporarily banned or restricted flavored tobacco or vaping products to different degrees, but Massachusetts is the first state with a permanent ban in place, anti-smoking groups say. Especially notable is its ban on menthol, which is among the most popular flavors and has often been exempted from bans. California has sued vaping giant Juul, claiming it unlawfully targeted minors.

The bill is a “major step forward,” Baker said, but states can do only so much to address the public health emergency around e-cigarettes and other vaping products. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are the only ones that can address the issues comprehensively, he said.

President Trump has promised for months to approve a national ban on most flavored e-cigarettes. But in recent weeks his administration canceled a planned announcement of a ban, and Trump has said he would meet with vaping industry leaders and medical professionals instead.

“It’s pretty clear there isn’t going to be a federal policy on this anytime soon,” Baker said Wednesday. “So in the absence of that, we had to act.”

The New England Convenience Store and Energy Marketers Assn., which had opposed the legislation, said in a statement the ban would disproportionately affect communities of color and cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue.

Studies have shown menthol cigarettes are consumed disproportionately by young people and minorities, and anti-tobacco groups and health experts have argued menthol has been marketed in particular to African Americans.

The law’s restrictions are important because the new flavored products have helped the traditional smoking market grow and led to the flavored vaping products popular with youths, state Atty. Gen. Maura Healey said.

“This is not a nanny state effort,” said Healey, a Democrat. “This is a significant public health effort.”

The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network said it hoped the new law would send a message to an industry accused of using flavored products to introduce teenagers to smoking.

“More than 80% of teens who have ever used a tobacco product started with a flavored product, and the tobacco industry knows this,” the organization said in an emailed statement.

The law places a 75% excise tax on vaping products and require health insurers, including the state’s Medicaid program, to cover tobacco cessation counseling.

In September, Baker had declared a public health emergency and ordered a temporary ban on the sale of all vaping products — flavored and unflavored. Baker said Wednesday he’ll keep that ban in place until Dec. 11 while his administration drafts additional regulations.

HONOLULU — 

A Hawaii man tormented a Utah family for over a year by sending more than 500 people to their house for unwanted services including food deliveries, repairs, tow trucks, locksmiths, plumbers and prostitutes, according to a U.S. prosecutor who called it “extreme cyberstalking.”

Loren Okamura is scheduled for a detention hearing Wednesday in Honolulu’s federal courthouse following his arrest at a supermarket last week after his indictment last month on charges of cyberstalking, interstate threats and transporting people for prostitution, court documents show.

Okamura, 44, targeted a father and his adult daughter, sending the woman threatening messages and posting her picture and address online, authorities said. One posting said the homeowner wanted drugs and prostitutes at the house in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood in a Salt Lake City suburb.

The Gilmore family was “tormented” during the year-plus in which the “extreme cyberstalking” took place, said John Huber, U.S. attorney for Utah, before reporters Tuesday.

Investigators had been focused on Okamura as the suspect since January when the Gilmores were granted a protective injunction from him in Utah. It took investigators time to gather enough evidence to charge Okamura because of his use of encryption and apps that made him appear anonymous, Huber said.

“For all the good that technology offers us in our modern lifestyles, there is also a darker, seedier side to it,” Huber said. “That’s what you have here.”

Huber declined to disclose the relationship between the victims and Okamura but said it was not random. He noted that most stalkers have had previous relationships with their victims and said that “those dynamics are present in this case.”

A sealed indictment was issued on Oct. 2, but Okamura wasn’t arrested until Friday as police struggled to find him because he doesn’t have a permanent address or job and authorities said he was “savvy” with technology used to mask his phone’s location.

A team of Utah officers flew to Honolulu and teamed with FBI agents on a 15-hour search that ended when they arrested him at the supermarket, said Sgt. Jeff Plank of the Utah Department of Public Safety, who was assigned to the FBI’s cybercrime task force.

Okamura’s federal public defender, Sharron Rancourt, did not immediately return a phone message and emails seeking comment.

Prosecutors say that Okamura’s online stalking began sometime in 2018 and that he sent as many as 500 unwanted people to the house.

Utah police went to the North Salt Lake house more than 80 times over a four-month period from November 2018 to February 2019. The activities affected the entire neighborhood, prosecutors have said.

Okamura also sent the woman extensive and repeated texts and voicemails, authorities said.

In May, the woman received an email telling her she should “sleep with one eye open and keep looking over her shoulder.” The email also said: “You should just kill yourself and do your family a favor,” charging documents show.

Prosecutors have said they have records from Okamura’s cellphone and Apple ID to support the charges.

Walt Gilmore did not immediately return messages seeking comment Tuesday.

Ainsi que l’affirme le site Bloody Disgusting, le neuvième long métrage de la saga “Saw” (attendu pour fin 2020) pourrait être porté par le duo Samuel L. Jackson – Chris Rock.

Même si l’information reste à prendre avec des pincettes pour le moment, il semblerait selon le site Bloody Disgusting (qui affirme pouvoir confirmer la rumeur lancée par le forum Reddit) que le neuvième long métrage de la saga horrifique Saw – attendu pour fin 2020 – sera porté par Samuel L. Jackson et par Chris Rock.

Ce dernier, qui a en tout cas participé à l’écriture du scénario, pourrait ainsi partager l’écran avec l’interprète de Nick Fury (actuellement à l’affiche de Spider-Man: Far From Home). Ce nouveau film, dont on ne sait pas encore clairement s’il s’agira d’une suite, d’un spin-off ou d’un prequel, sera en tout cas mis en scène par Darren Lynn Bousman (réalisateur des épisodes 2, 3 et 4) et s’intitulera The Organ Donor (Le donneur d’organes), ainsi que vient de nous l’apprendre un post Instagram de ce dernier :

A 25-year-old man has been arrested in Kerala for sexually assaulting more than 50 women he befriended on social media. The man revealed that he blackmailed the women with their morphed obscene photos.

Pradeesh Kumar from Areeparambu near Ettumanoor was arrested after a woman filed a police complaint.

He told police that he targeted women on various social media platforms and took their phone numbers. After establishing contact, mostly homemakers, and understanding their family issues, he used to create fake profiles posing as a female and got in touch with the husbands of his potential targets.

Red Bull plans on sampling its canopy cockpit protection for the very first time in Friday’s free practice for the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

Called ‘Aeroscreen’, the system features a windscreen supported by two props, which makes it quite different from the Halo concept debuted by Ferrari in pre-season testing and that has a central pillar and no windscreen.

Daniel Ricciardo recently revealed that he had sat in a mockup design at the Red Bull factory, describing visibility as “fine”. It is reported that Friday’s test will include an installation lap to check whether this is still the case when the car is in motion.

The FIA previously said it was on schedule to have the Halo introduced next year regardless of whether a better system appears by then, but Red Bull is clearly pushing on with its in-house concept.

F1’s governing body has been looking to enhance driver head protection for several years, with the deaths of Jules Bianchi and Justin Wilson making the matter all the more urgent.
