Carter honors Bob Dylan as Person of Year FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT Jimmy Carter will present Bob Dylan with the 2015 MusiCares Person of the Year honor next month in Los Angeles. The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Dylan Jack White will perform at the preGrammy event Feb. 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The star-studded gala will also include performances by Jackson Browne, Alanis Morissette, Neil Young, Beck, Norah Jones, the Black
Keys, Stills & Nash and John Mellencamp, among others. Past MusiCares Person of the Year honorees include Bono, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel and Quincy Jones. The event is in its 25th year. The 57th annual Grammys Awards will take place Feb. 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The awards will air live on CBS.
$31 million recoup Sony Pictures’ “The Interview” has made more than $31 million from its online and on-demand release, according to the studio. Sony announced digital figures Tuesday for the film spanning its first 11 days of release since debuting Dec. 24. Sony had previously said the film made $15 million in its first four days online, so demand for the Seth Rogen comedy has slightly
declined as Sony has added more platforms. While $31 million constitutes the most lucrative digital release for a Hollywood film, “The Interview” stood to make more in a wide theatrical release. It had originally been forecast to earn about $30 million in its opening weekend alone. Still, the significant total represents a sizable recoup for Sony after the film appeared dead. After hackers the FBI have said are North Korean threatened violence in theaters showing the film, North America’s top theater chains pulled out of showing “The Interview,” and Sony canceled its release entirely. But a cobbled-together release in independent theaters and digital outlets has proven modestly successful. Playing in select theaters, “The Interview” has made about $5 million in two weeks.

MICHELE SERROS, 48, a short story writer, essayist and poet whose wry and witty observations on growing up Mexican-American in Southern California became required reading in many ethnic studies courses, has died. Mrs. Serros’ husband, Antonio Magana, said she died Sunday at their home in Berkeley, Calif., after a 3½-year battle with a rare form of oral cancer. Mrs. Serros was a community college student when she burst on the literary scene in 1993 with the publication of Chicana Falsa, a collection of stories and poems inspired by her family life and childhood in the majority Hispanic coastal community of Oxnard. She also published another autobiographical collection of fiction, How to Be a Chicana Role Model, and two young adult novels, Honey Blonde Chica and its sequel, ¡Scandalosa!

Ms. Hilton in recent years battled stepfather Frederik von Anhalt over control of her mother’s finances, with a judge at one point ordering von Anhalt to allow Ms. Hilton to visit Gabor.

Lozzi said Ms. Hilton worked as a professional photographer, actress and as a publicist in the 1980s.

Haley noted that there is still the possibility of getting logs, but the weather at this time makes towing rafts uncertain.
1990 (25 years ago) Economic worries are mounting in Neah Bay, where a closed fishing season has idled the Makah commercial fishing fleet indefinitely. The season for so-called blackmouth salmon was halted last month in Neah Bay after commercial fishermen netted record catches, triggering the restriction. Now, the fleet might be idled until March, when the commercial halibut season opens. The closure is very much a pocketbook issue in Neah Bay. About 77 percent of the community’s residents rely on commercial fishing for at least part of their livelihoods, said Dan Greene, Makah tribal chairman and himself a commercial fisherman.
