LOS ANGELES - An animated film about misfit toys seems an unlikely fit for a smooth reggaeton rapper, but Pitbull is front and center in “UglyDolls” and he loves the message it sends.

US YouTube star gets 10 years in prison for child porn CHICAGO - A YouTube musical celebrity was sentenced Friday in a Chicago courtroom to 10 years in prison for enticing girls as young as 14 to produce sexually explicit videos of themselves. Austin Jones, who posted online videos of himself performing songs for a fan base of primarily teenage girls, was arrested in 2017 and pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of child pornography. As part of his plea, Jones admitted to a total of six identified victims and approximately 30 attempts to persuade other girls to send him child pornography, according to prosecutors. A federal judge on Friday imposed a 10-year prison sentence on the 26-year-old, who could have gotten as little as five years or as many as 20, according to sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors, pointing to text messages, alleged in a sentencing memorandum filed with the court that Jones targeted young girls under the pretense of “auditions”
for modeling and other opportunities. “I’m just trying to help you! I know you’re trying your hardest to prove you’re my biggest fan. And I don’t want to have to find someone else,” Jones told one 14-year-old victim via Facebook messenger, according to the court filing. Prosecutors said Facebook tipped off the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about Jones’s conversations with 14- and 15-year-old girls using the social media service’s private messaging feature. Jones’s defense lawyers had asked that he be sentenced to five years on the basis of mitigating circumstances having to do with the man’s childhood. “Austin was a victim of sexual and emotional abuse by his father from age six until age 10. He was young, helpless and scared,” his attorney’s wrote in a court filing. They claimed Jones suffered from severe depression and other mental health problems. (afp)
The film, which opens Friday in North America, tells the story of toys who have been discarded for not being “perfect” -- and the resolve of one doll, Moxy (singer Kelly Clarkson), to be loved by a child someday. “Perfection doesn’t exist and what I want for young people, for kids, is for them to appreciate what it is to be different, that it’s something good,” Pitbull, who plays UglyDog in the film, told AFP in an interview. Pitbull -- real name, Armando Christian Perez -- is joined in the cast by a host of other musicians, including country star Blake Shelton, pop futurist Janelle Monae and singers Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX. It’s not his first foray on the big screen. The Cuban-American also did voice work for the 2013 animated film “Epic,” and his music has been featured on soundtracks of major films such as “Aquaman.” But “UglyDolls,” the first animated feature from STX Entertainment, dovetails nicely with Pitbull’s work to fight bullying and support educational initiatives in Miami’s Little Havana, where he grew up. “If what people are saying about
you (online) is affecting you, put down the phone. Why even read it?” says the 38-year-old Grammywinning singer and producer. The singer, who has 7.5 million Instagram followers, says he’s against what he sees as an obsession with social media, especially among young people. “With social media, we’re only seeing followers and likes,” he says. “Forget about that, we have to be leaders and be unique -- that’s the important thing. Between filters and Photoshop, we end up looking like people we aren’t.” (afp) Pitbull attends STX Films World Premiere of “UglyDolls” at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live in Los Angeles.

This image released by the US Navy shows a Boeing 737 aircraft carrying 136 passengers and seven crew after it slid into the St. Johns River during landing at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, on May 3, 2019. The plane carrying 143 people including crew from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba slammed into shallow water next to a naval air station in Jacksonville after a hard landing that saw the plane bounce and swerve down the runway, passengers said. No fatalities or critical injuries were reported.

The plane carrying 143 people including crew from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba slammed into shallow water next to a naval air station in Jacksonville after a hard landing that saw the plane bounce and swerve down the runway, passengers said. No fatalities or critical injuries were reported. “As we went down... the plane bounced and screeched and bounced more and lifted to the right and then it lifted to the left,” Cheryl Bormann, a defense attorney who was on board the flight, told CNN. “And then it sort of swerved and then it came to a complete crash stop.” Some oxygen masks deployed and overhead lockers flew open during the landing, she added.
Twenty-one adults were taken to local hospitals, but none were critically injured, the Jacksonville sheriff’s office said on Twitter. Others were treated for minor injuries at the scene. Captain Michael Connor, commanding officer at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, told reporters it was a “miracle” no more serious injuries or fatalities had occurred. “We could be talking about a different story this evening, so I think there’s a lot to say about, you know, the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane... it very well could be worse,” he said. All 136 passengers and seven aircrew on board had been ac-
counted for, NAS Jacksonville said in a statement. However, there were fears for a number of pet animals traveling in the plane’s luggage compartment. The pets had “not been retrieved yet due to safety issues with the aircraft,” NAS Jacksonville said in an update on Facebook. The National Transportation Safety Board said a 16-member team had arrived on site to investigate the incident, and would brief the media later in the day. Boeing said it was aware of the incident was and providing technical assistance to the agency as it conducts its probe. - ‘Lightning and thunder’ Images showed the Miami Air International plane lying partially submerged in water after the rough landing, with its nose cone missing.
Passengers in life vests were instructed to clamber onto the wings of the jet before being transported to shore aboard inflatable life rafts, Bormann said. “We couldn’t tell where we were, a river or an ocean. There was rain coming down. There was lightning and thunder. We stood on that wing for a significant period of time,” she told CNN. Navy security and emergency response personnel including some 90 firefighters were on the scene. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry tweeted that the White House had called to offer assistance as the situation was developing. “All alive and accounted for. Our Fire and Rescue teams are family to all,” said Curry. Teams were working to control jet fuel spilling into the St Johns River, he added. The “Rotator” flight from the US
military base in Cuba carries passengers including military personnel and family members. The plane involved was a Boeing 737-800, in operation for 18 years, according to the FlightRadar24 website. US aerospace giant Boeing is under scrutiny following two crashes that killed a total of 346 passengers and crew and grounded its newer 737 MAX planes worldwide. Both a Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October and March’s Ethiopian Airlines crash outside Addis Ababa occurred shortly after takeoff.
