HOLLYWOOD — Margot Robbie is aflame! As if playing the immortal Barbie (to Ryan Gosling’s Ken), along with Will Ferrell, wasn’t crazy enough, she’s got three more films coming. Premiering Nov. 4 is the period comedy “Canterbury Glass,” directed by David O. Russell, with Anya Taylor-Joy, Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Robert De Niro, Rami Malek, Michael Shannon, Chris Rock and Taylor Swift. Then “La La Land’s” Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle steered her through “Babylon,” co-starring Katherine Waterson, Brad Pitt, Olivia Wilde and Tobey Maguire, and Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” boasting five Oscar winners, but no release date. Robbie received Oscar nominations for “I, Tonya” (2018) and “Bombshell” (2020). *** “Westworld’s” Thandiwe Newton, currently in “All the Old Knives,” with Chris Pine, has withdrawn as Channing Tatum’s main squeeze in “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” saying it’s due to “having to handle family matters.” Salma Hayek, hot off a buzz from “House of Gucci” and “Eternals,” and due in “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” is assuming her role. Eddie Murphy has signed to star as Axel Foley once again in “Beverly Hills Cop 4” for Netflix, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing again. They have their work cut out for them; the original “Cop” grossed $316 million in 1984, “Cop 2” dipped to $276 million and “Cop 3” sank to $119 million. Murphy has already completed “You People,” written by and co-starring Jonah Hill (with Kenya Barris, who is directing). It also has Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Duchovny and Rhea Pearlman. *** Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are finally having their days in court. Depp filed a $50 million defamation suit against Heard in a Virginia court. It took weeks to set up a jury for the
Depositphotos
Margot Robbie case, and it’s expected to drag on for six weeks or more, unless these actors keep padding their parts and speeches when they take the stand and testify on their own behalf. The press circus outside is worth it alone. Depp’s last film, “Minamata,” made in 2020, was released in February to a mere $1.7 million gross. His next project is supposed to be an untitled film directed by French actress and director Maiwenn Le Besco in which he’d play King Louis XV. It probably can’t start until the trial is resolved. Amber Heard is second-billed behind title star Jason Momoa in the upcoming “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” due March 17, 2023. This sequel also stars Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren and Willem Dafoe. Apparently, the idea for this sequel came from Momoa, who gets story credit with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick. Depp, who fell in love with Amber at first look, probably wishes, after their violent shouting matches, that she could be seen but not HEARD! © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

RI Reg #44342
By Jennifer Coates It doesn’t take much to look around your home and property to see that looming list of home improvement projects growing. The winter months have a way to adding extra wear and tear on an exterior paint job – the constant moisture, the baking sun, the constantly fluctuating temperatures. Your house looks beat down! The indoor of your home can take a beating too if you don’t keep up with it! Peeling and flaking paint, water marks on your ceilings, dings and dents on the moldings around every door. Just plain old day-to-day living can be tough on our homes! How about just an easy “facelift” to give your home a fresh look for spring? It is times like these when you need to call in the help of a professional painter, a professional painter like Alex Carlson, the owner of Ocean State Painting & Property Maintenance. Though Alex Carlson officially incorporated his business just over two years ago, he is hardly new to the world of home improvement. He has been working with his hands since he was a child when he began tinkering with home renovations as a young boy with his uncle. These experiences instilled in Alex a passion for the work. In high school, Alex’s training intensified in the school’s carpentry vocational program which eventually led to an apprenticeship with a cabinet and painting contractor. Today, Carlson runs a successful business, Ocean State Painting & Property Management. Alex has very high standards for his work, never settling for second best. He has a keen eye for imperfections and flaws, whether it is a seam or gap that needs to be caulked, a nail that needs to be set, holes that need to be filled or peeling paint that needs to be scraped and sanded before being primed. No short cuts here. As Alex tackles the paint jobs in your home, you can depend that he will work hard for you. This begins with the prep work, the

If there is peeling paint, it gets sanded down before any finishing work is done. If your house has trim or molding that needs to be repainted, he sets all nails, fills all holes, caulks all seams, and then sands them to ensure a glass-like finish with a quality semi-gloss. No detail is overlooked. Alex’s customized work does not stop here. Customers will also

Q:
When is “Stranger Things” returning to Netflix, and will this be the final season? I don’t necessarily want it to end, but I also don’t want them to drag it out. — L.S. After a two-year hiatus, which is very long even in the streaming world, “Stranger Things” will return with the first batch of new episodes beginning May 27. The latter half of season four will be available beginning July 1. This won’t be the final season, though, as the series is expected to conclude after season five. According to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Matt Duffer promises that viewers will “learn more this season than we ever have about our mythology.” It’s also the first time the teens as a group will be in separate time zones, as Joyce (Winona Ryder) has escaped from Indiana with her sons, along with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), to California. In addition, new characters will be introduced, including Robert Englund as Victor Creel and Jamie Campbell Bower as Peter Ballard. But have no fear, the rest of the boys will still be at the forefront of the mystery back in the town of Hawkins. Duffer stated at a television panel that he chose the West Coast because he always wanted an “’E.T.’-esque suburb aesthetic.” *** I can’t believe there’s another series or movie about Watergate. What could they possibly be telling us that we don’t already know? — M.M. There are actually two major projects focused on Watergate, as the White House scandal approaches its 50th anniversary. First up is “Gaslit,” an eight-part series currently airing on Starz. It promises to focus on several individuals whose stories really haven’t been told, including that of Attorney General John Mitchell, played by an unrecognizable Sean Penn, and his wife, Martha, played by Julia Roberts. Another star-studded cast leads HBO’s upcoming five-part series “White House Plumbers.” This project focuses on the infamous burglary and its well-known masterminds, G. Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux) and

E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson). An HBO release date hasn’t been announced yet. *** Whatever happened to actor Robert Sean Leonard from “Dead Poets Society”? I was just watching the movie the other day and realized I haven’t seen him in years. — C.P. “Dead Poets Society,” starring Robin Williams, debuted in movie theaters in 1989, and Robert Sean Leonard has been acting steadily ever since, although initially in movies that have mostly been forgotten. For the past two decades, he’s accumulated an impressive career in television, first as Dr. James Wilson on the hit medical drama “House” opposite Hugh Laurie. Leonard also had a recurring role as an assistant district attorney on “Law & Order: SVU” from 2015 to 2016. He recently landed a role as a series regular on season two of “The Gilded Age,” the much buzzed about HBO Max series set in the late 1800s. He’ll play a reverend from Boston when the show returns for its sophomore season sometime in 2023.

By Jennifer Coates For some people, inspiration comes all at once, like a flash of lightening. For others, it comes as little glimmers of light that appear over the course of time, revealing themselves like a sunrise until their brightness fills the whole room! For Danielle Zarrella, a mother and graphic designer, the inspiration for her newly incorporated business, Wonderful Whirl, LLC, took place in both those sudden “Ah-ha” moments and in those quiet reflective moments over time. It’s as though Zarrella has been preparing to share Wonderful Whirl her whole life! Wonderful Whirl, LLC. has been several years in the making for this mother of two-anda-half-year-old Winslow and soon-to-be baby boy #2! Drawing upon those accumulated moments of inspiration and compelled by a search to find whimsical and captivating flash cards for her little boy, Zarrella built her children’s educational
products and décor business. A quick peruse of her website illustrates what words alone cannot, that there is nothing more creative than the work of teaching, stimulating, and exciting children as they learn. Using unique and colorful images, Zarrella’s products and décor items teach; they stimulate curiosity; they excite children about the world around them. This is exactly what Danielle Zarrella accomplishes with the beautiful and enchanting collection of thoughtfully-curated products she has designed for Wonderful Whirl. The title of her business is a nod to her late father ~ her biggest advocate and fan ~ who loved to belt out the unforgettable song “What a Wonderful World!” Her dad taught her that life really is one big “wonderful whirl!” Zarrella, whose professional training as a graphic designer began as a student at Pace
University in New York City, launched this fledgling business after an exhaustive process. She drafted a business plan, sought out manufacturers, registered the business, developed the website, and took all her creative energy as a professional graphic designer of 11 years and translated them into these instructional and engaging works of art. Her products include 4” by 6” flash cards with matching educational posters, growth/height charts, framed wall art and downloadable prints. Each of these products is unique and original – there is nothing like them in conventional retail markets. Though playful and charming, the products are not cartoony or commercial-looking. There are flowers, vintage animal designs, geometric shapes and more. Danielle designed every product with intent and with research to offer the most visual appeal but also the most educational value. The colors are vibrant and bold, soft and pastel. There is something for children of all ages, from sweet Winslow’s age all the way through school-age. Wonderful Whirl is a dream for parents of young children everywhere. Visit the website where you can choose from a selection of products and décor items that will be delivered
Danielle Zarrella, seen here with her son Winslow, has created a collection of engaging educational products and décor items. Check out the website of Wonderful Whirl to learn more! Free shipping for orders of $50 or more! right to your home! The website is www.wonderfulwhirl. com. You can also find them

whirl out there to discover – starting today!

Meet the Star of Your Mother's Day Brunch This Sunday is Mother's Day! Here's the plan: Let's "take" Mom to her own personal French bistro for brunch. Place a table somewhere unexpected, like your garden or in front of the fireplace or a pretty window. Set a lovely table with flowers, coffee and mimosas. Add some twinkle lights and music. To complete the Mother's Day bistro experience, have her wait outside for an hour to be seated. Just kidding! Don't do that. Here's a lovely recipe perfect for Mother's Day (or any day!). We have a decadent dish that's fancy pants, frugal and fabulous. Drum roll please ... Clafouti! Clafouti (pronounced kla-foo-TEE) is a simple French dish that serves as dessert, a special breakfast or the star of your next brunch. It's extremely versatile, very inexpensive and certainly elegant. Did I mention it's easy? If you can make pancakes, you can make clafouti. You make this classic French dessert by pouring a sweet crepe-like batter over fruit in a baking dish and baking. The eggy batter cooks around the fruit, resulting in a light, airy, flanlike texture. Use whatever fruit you have on hand, whip up a quick batter in your blender, and bake to impress. It is delicious warm, at room temperature or straight from the fridge. I'm using fresh strawberries in this
STRAWBERRY CLAFOUTI Yield: 4 brunch or 6 dessert servings Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 45 minutes Softened butter for the baking dish 1½ cups half and half or whole milk 1/3 cup white sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 3 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup flour 1 pound frozen or fresh strawberries 2 teaspoons cornstarch, if using frozen berries Powdered sugar, for garnish
www.JasonCoblentz.com
If you can make pancakes, you can make this elegant French dish. 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 2. Lightly butter an 8-cup baking dish or heavy pie dish. Using a blender, combine the half and half, sugars, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour. Blend for 30 seconds. 3. Let the batter rest while you prepare the berries. If you're using frozen strawberries, drain the juice and toss
4. Place berries, cut side down, in your baking dish. Pour the batter over the berries. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until it's puffed up, browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the clafoutis from the oven and allow it to cool for a little while, during which time you'll see it deflate and settle a bit, so have your camera ready. 5. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar and whipped cream if desired. Now, once you know how to make this batter, it's a perfect blank canvas for almost any fruit you can think of. Cherries, bananas, plums, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries can all get into the clafouti club. Depending on the season, enjoy sauteed apples and pears, dried figs, raisins and cranberries. This is an excellent place for thawed frozen fruit to shine; just make sure to drain the liquid off before using them, or it will compromise the setting of the custard. And, because the recipe calls for a small amount of flour, you can easily make it gluten free; just swap an equal amount of brown rice flour. Give your next soiree French flair with this versatile frugally fabulous dish. Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Divas on a Dime. *** Lifestyle expert Patti Diamond is the penny-pinching, party-planning, recipe developer and content creator of the website "Divas On A Dime — Where Frugal, Meets Fabulous!"

The Staircase (TV-MA) — Not a lot of buzz has surrounded this star-studded true-crime miniseries, but “The Staircase” has the potential to be one of the best drama series released this year. Starring Colin Firth and Toni Collette as married couple Michael and Kathleen Peterson, “The Staircase” begins just before Kathleen’s sudden death — at the bottom of a staircase in their home. All fingers immediately point to Michael as the perpetrator, so he enlists the help of a documentary crew in order to tell his side of the story and restore the dynamic of his family back to normal. Premieres May 5. (HBO Max)
• Earth Day got me thinking about how many plastic bottled beverages my family goes through. I have found six glass reusable bottles that can be run through the dishwasher, and I store them in the refrigerator in a cardboard six-pack holder. I still want the convenience of grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, but I feel better knowing that I’m not contributing to a plastic problem.” — JoAnn • Using ice-cold sour cream instead of ice-cold water in your pie crust recipe will give you a flakier crust. • “If you love to burn candles as much as I do, consider storing them in the refrigerator for a day or so before burning them. I swear, it makes them burn evenly. Someone told me this once, and I tried it and have been doing it ever since. No more crooked candles.” — J.L. in Tennessee • When traveling for more than a few days, stick your plants into the bathtub with a little bit of water. They’ll soak it up, and you won’t have to have someone come over and water your plants. This will only work for a week at most, though.” — J.M. in Louisiana • Kitchen remodels can be expensive, but when your kitchen isn’t usable, that’s even more of an expense. Instead of opting for takeout food, set up an alternate kitchen to save money. A microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot and a small dorm-style fridge can take care of a lot of your needs in the short term. • Planning on putting in some new plants or sprucing up your garden this spring? Check with your town’s yard-waste recycling center about free mulch or compost. Many facilities offer these to their residents.

Scene from “Marmaduke”
King Features Weekly Service
attacked by a mysterious man, and since her attack, her present constantly shifts in front of her. Kirby’s appearance, her interactions with others, even her pets, can all change or morph, never staying the same for too long. After the body of a young woman is found with marks in the same place as Kirby’s after her attack, she decides to join another reporter, Dan, in catching the killer and uncovering the truth before the list of victims grows further. This psychologically thrilling series is full of mind-bending twists, and with Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) as the leading lady, there’s no doubt that “Shining Girls” will be a hair-raising watch. (Apple TV+)

The Offer (TV-MA) — How do you know when a film has surpassed every level of success to reach a legendary status like none other? The answer is when Hollywood decides to create a 10-episode series about how the film even came to be. Of course, I’m talking about “The Godfather.” In this new biographical miniseries, the filmmaking behind the classic 1972 crime movie gets explored, from how badly Paramount needed a hit at the time to how real-life mobsters were angered about the portrayal of Italians as gangsters. “The Offer” also dives into how Marlon Brando and Francis Ford Coppola became part of the project and helped to turn the film into a massive success that would be remembered for decades to come. Streaming now. (Paramount+) Marmaduke (TV-Y7) — Based on the long-running comic strip, this CGI-animated film follows the goofy antics of a Great Dane dog named Marmaduke, whose escapades, while entertaining, usually cause accidents, damages or other types of turmoil. So, when a video of Marmaduke goes viral, infamous dog trainer Guy Hilton takes on the challenge of transforming this dog who’s always up to no good into a championship-winning pet. The titular character is voiced by “Saturday Night Live’s” Pete Davidson, while other voices include J.K. Simmons and David Koechner. A perfect movie night for the entire family. Premieres May 6.

1. Which group released an album titled “Agents of Fortune”? 2. Who wrote and released “Sundown”? 3. Name the 1960s singer who was partially deaf as a result of having meningitis as a child. 4. What do The Chords, Bobby Hebb and Edison Lighthouse all have in common? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I’m laughing.” Answers 1. Blue Oyster Cult, in 1976. The 2001 CD reissue had four additional songs, including the longer demo version of “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” 2. Gordon Lightfoot, in 1974. It was his only chart topper in the U.S. (He’s Canadian.) 3. Mary Wells, of “My Guy” fame. She was singing in clubs by the age of 10. 4. They all made it to the list of OneHit Wonders for the decades when their songs hit the charts: the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. 5. “Cecilia,” by Simon & Garfunkel, in 1970. The song was partially created at a late-night party and recorded on a tape recorder. Simon later came back to it, deciding that it had the makings of a song. The title likely refers to St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. © 2022 King Features Syndicate

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You Ewes and Rams will find your ideas cheered by a mostly receptive flock. Those few dissenters could well be turned around by your charm and powers of persuasion. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s time for the bold and beautiful Bovine to shake off the dust of the past and shape up with new ideas for the future. This could surprise some folks, but they’ll soon adjust. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those nagging new doubts about an upcoming decision should alert you to step back (at least temporarily) so you can reassess its potential impact from a new perspective. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That unpleasant situation you hoped would go away by itself needs immediate attention before it affects an upcoming decision. Expect your supporters to rally around your cause. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re moving up and away from that recent setback. But remain cautious about finances. An exercise in thrift today helps cushion a possible end-of-themonth money squeeze. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You’re still dealing with overtones of pessimism that cause you to doubt your ability to make some needed changes. But the negative pressures will ease up by week’s end.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) There could be some fallout from the way you handled a recent family problem. But those who know that you were in the right won’t hesitate to step in on your behalf. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Financial strains ease by week’s end. Meanwhile, focus on cultivating that new relationship if you hope to have it blossom into something more meaningful. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Health matters once again dominate the week. Be careful not to ignore recurrences of an old problem. An almost-forgotten commitment resurfaces. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The emergence of an unusual selfish streak could dismay those close to you. Defy it — don’t justify it — so you can become your gracious self again. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Reassess your decision to stay with the status quo. It might seem like the sensible thing to do right now, but changes around you could make that choice a risky one. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Move decisively but cautiously when dealing with a delicate personal matter. The fewer mistakes you make now, the less likely it is that the problem will recur later on. BORN THIS WEEK: You can find beauty where many cannot. And you enjoy sharing your discovery with others.
