Fading rocker Marilyn Manson has to pay up after pulling the plug on his long running defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood . “Marilyn Manson—whose real name is Brian Warner—filed a lawsuit against Ms. Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career,” the Westwood star’s attorney Michael Kump told Deadline today of the March 2022 action “But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms. Wood failed.” “As the trial court correctly found, Warner’s claims were meritless, the Kinsella Holley Iser Kump Steinsapir LLP partner added. “Warner’s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms. Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.” From court documents that Deadline has seen, the end of the suit and the agreement to pay Manson’s former long term girlfriend’s legal fees was signed yesterday by the self-declared Antichrist Superstar. Wood inked the agreement on November 19. Manson’s initial suit came a year after Wood herself took to social media in 2021 to publicly named her ex-fiancée for a pattern of “horrifically” abusing and “grooming” her during the duo’s 2007 to 2010 relationship. The now thirtysomething Wood was 19 when she and Manson became a couple. Seven years ago, Wood told a Congressional committee that she had been raped and repeatedly abused but did not actually give a name of who the alleged predator was. That all became clear when the two-part Phoenix Rising documentary on the singer and his supposed cycles of abuse and violence premiered at the virtual 2022 Sundance Film Festival . A couple months later, the Amy Berg film debuted on HBO – even after Manson tried to move legal Heaven and Earth to stop it. The 2022 lawsuit against Wood was another prong in that attack Having seen his action essentially gutted in LA Superior Court in May 2023, Manson moved on to the appeals court. Yet, as that process played out, the rocker’s team indicated to Wood’s lawyers that they were open to a deal, I hear. After the expected back and forth, the parties found enough common ground to bury the hatchet. In that vein, the full $327,000 is due to Wood and her reps via wire transfer two business days after the settlement deal is fully executed — which would be tomorrow November 27 if all goes to plan. After that, Manson is required to filed notices of settlement and request for dismissal to the court of appeals, where the case currently resides. Additionally, Manson is moving to terminate with prejudice his dust-up with Wood’s co-defendant Illma Gore. All of which should see this two-and-a-half-year matter from ‘The Dope Show’ singer effectively done like dinner by early December. Deadline reached out to the much-accused Manson’s camp for comment on the settlement and the payment but have not had a response. If they do respond, this post will be updated.

The Vikings led by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter but needed an overtime field goal to beat the Chicago Bears , 30-27. With 22 seconds left and trailing by 11, Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen for a one-yard score, and the two-point conversion was successful when Williams found DJ Moore.

They quickly got in field goal range after a long catch by Moore and drilled the field goal to send the game into overtime. They outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the fourth quarter. The Bears went three-and-out on the first overtime possession, and that turned out to be the last time they would touch the ball on the day. Justin Jefferson had just one catch in regulation, but his second of the game put Minnesota at midfield. A few plays later, Sam Darnold found T.J.

Where to put YOUR money in 2025: Our share guru reveals her best tips to boost returns By ANNE ASHWORTH Updated: 06:30 EST, 28 December 2024 e-mail View comments Most investors make a New Year's resolution to revamp their portfolio. But, in 2025, an unusual amount of uncertainty surrounds this annual makeover. How will President-elect Donald Trump's plans for tariffs play out - in the US and around the globe? Will new firms emerge to slow the ascent of the big tech firms that have been boosted by the generative artificial intelligence (AI) revolution? John J Hardy, chief strategist at Saxo Bank, argues that 2025 will be a year of 'big questions' but it will also be a year of excitement. 'We're entering a new era,' he says. 'Old economic models are breaking, but that creates opportunities.' What is the best way to make the most of these perplexing conditions? Top markets: US was the best performer by a clear margin, with Germany runner up in 2024 Be an optimist, says Mike Fox, head of equities at Royal London Asset Management. 'This is not to say that investments can only go up,' he adds. 'Clearly they do not in some years. But, over the long term, societies improve, economies grow, innovation thrives - and optimism wins.' If you like this way of thinking, here are the themes predicted to set the direction of the major stock markets in the months ahead. America Donald Trump will be sworn in as US president on January 20, and thereafter embark on the implementation of policies that include the imposition of import tariffs and cutting the federal budget by $2tn (£1.6tn), with the help of Tesla boss Elon Musk. The scale of the endeavour is huge, but there is a conviction that the results could be rewarding. Niamh Brodie-Machura, co-chief investment officer at Fidelity, believes that the profits of US companies will exceed those of other developed counties, 'reinforcing American exceptionalism'. Rathbone Asset Management stresses that investors should be prepared for disruption: 'It's Trump, so it's prudent to expect some good, some bad - and some wild.' Donald Trump: Policies include the imposition of import tariffs and cutting the federal budget by $2tn Peter Branner, chief investment officer at Abrdn, warns that it would be perilous to underestimate the extent of the disruption. Against this background, Rathbone argues that 'US stock prices may not be cheap but aren't expensive either', adding that growth should come from a mix of 'tighter finances, less bureaucracy, more private enterprise, cheaper energy and interest rate cuts'. In 2024, the best way to profit from American exceptionalism has been to back the tech stocks that make up the mega-cap Magnificent Seven - Google owner Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta (the Facebook and Instagram group), Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla. The Magnificent Seven should continue to dominate, but Goldman Sachs Asset Management is urging investors to look beyond this gang if you want more exposure to the generative AI revolution. For example, the semiconductor group Broadcom, which designs processors to accelerate AI systems, is being seen as 'the new Nvidia'. Stephen Yiu, manager of the Blue Whale Growth fund, says Nvidia, which is already a $3.3tn firm, would find it hard to grow another 50pc. As a $1tn company, Broadcom stands a better chance of such expansion. For a wider bet on the 'America first' strategy, consider an investment trust such as JPMorgan American, which holds Apple, Meta, Nvidia and Trane Technologies, which builds cooling systems for the vast data centres on which the AI revolution relies. Mike Fox of Royal Asset Management describes the building of these centres as a 'once-in-a-generation investment boom'. McDonald's is another holding. Jack Caffrey, the trust's manager, says that this fast food chain has 'an iconic, quintessential American brand - and a very defensive model'. A third of the US population eats there every week. America's smaller companies are also worth your consideration in light of the prediction from BNP Paribas that their profits could rise by 30pc in 2025 and 2026. Artemis US Smaller Companies and Premier Miton US Opportunities are the experts' fund picks to make the most of potentially remunerative disruption in this sector. Trump's desire to deregulate the takeover rules could produce merger mania. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Shoppers may not have noticed yet, but we face a grave...

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP What you need to know each week: Listen to the This is Money podcast UK Anxiety over the fallout from the Autumn Budget, inflation and the cost of borrowing seem set to loom over the UK markets. But the gloom is not all-pervasive. For one thing, since our manufacturing sector is small, we should be less affected by Trump's tariffs. As many as two-thirds of respondents to a survey by the broker Jefferies expect the FTSE 100 to rise in 2025. Analysts contend that many British companies have strong balance sheets - and are generating cash. This suggests they should be more resilient if interest rates stay higher for longer and inflation proves sticky. Guy Anderson, manager of the Mercantile investment trust, sees reasons to be cheerful in low unemployment, real wage growth and the nation's low level of household debt. Given these factors, Anderson is sanguine about the prospects for housebuilders, such as Bellway. Since the Budget, these firms' shares have tumbled, amid doubt over the Government's building targets, but they are now beginning to look oversold. The perception that UK shares are a bargain could mean another burst of takeover activity, following this year's merger mania, with £52bn of deals for British businesses struck by early November. FundCalibre suggests the TM Tellworth UK Smaller Companies fund as one route to take advantage of this trend. As 2024 ends, there is talk that the focus on the US means that UK markets are no longer 'relevant'. Carl Stick and Alan Dobbie, managers of the Rathbone Income fund, are keen to dispel this notion, resolving to champion the cause of UK plc as a source of dividends for the millions who invest primarily for income. AJ Bell forecasts that the members of the FTSE 100 will pay out £83.6bn in dividends in 2025, a 6.5pc increase on 2024 - and a new record.

Germany, formerly the EU powerhouse, has been in recession in all but name, while France is politically gridlocked and facing fiscal problems of such magnitude that Abrdn argues it should be seen 'as a peripheral market, rather than a core one'. This sounds unappetising but contrarian investors may think differently. Jules Bloch, co-portfolio manager of the JPMorgan European Discovery trust, says the valuations of European smaller companies are 'at some of their most attractive since 2012 - interest rates have peaked, real wages are growing, and consumer sentiment is improving'. Bloch argues these companies include the next winners from AI and drug-assisted weight loss. This month the heady rise of Novo Nordisk, maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, was halted by poor results for its new Cagrisema drug. But a more obscure Danish firm is waiting in the wing: Zealand Pharma, whose products also include a weight-loss treatment. The woes of France and Germany have overshadowed the bounceback in Spain, whose Ibex index is up by 13pc this year, and in Italy where the Borsa Italiana has increased by 10pc. The European Smaller Companies trust is a way to take a stake in the recovery of the beautiful south - and a bounceback elsewhere. China China will be the primary target of Trump's tariffs. But there are indications that Beijing is readying itself for a trade war, preparing to vigorously boost consumption, improve investment efficiency and expand domestic demand. The world's second largest economy will be endeavouring to arrest its decline with a three trillion yuan (£327bn) bond issue to finance innovation. But betting on a successful outcome will require strong nerves, in light of this year's failed stimulus packages. Nevertheless, as John Citron of the JP Morgan Emerging Markets investment trust says, China's advanced manufacturing and electric vehicle sectors are thriving, thanks to government policies that do seem effective. BYD, the electric vehicle maker, is on track to sell more cars in 2024 than Ford or Honda. Its shares have soared by 634pc since 2019. But analysts still rate the shares a 'buy'. Can the combative Trump (pictured) block BYD's progress? Or will the company continue to move faster than the European car makers in 2025? That is one of the things that investors will be watching in 2025 - in a year when no one can assume that they have all the answers.

NVIDIA Chart: The Future of Gaming Revolution?
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mark Few liked what he saw unfold at San Diego State's Viejas Arena when his No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs made their first foray outside of Spokane, Washington, this season. A double-digit victory in a packed, loud arena. Toughness from a deep, experienced lineup that once again is driven to win an elusive national championship. And, peeking a few seasons ahead, he saw an SDSU team that he views more as a future Pac-12 partner than rival. Behind big man Graham Ike and guard Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga displayed its size, speed and strength in beating Brian Dutcher's young, hobbled squad 80-67 on Monday night. The Bulldogs returned the favor after SDSU won 84-74 last December at The Kennel in Spokane, which ended their 59-game nonconference winning streak. Both teams reached the Sweet Sixteen last season. Gonzaga is the only team in the nation to reach the Sweet Sixteen the last nine seasons as the Bulldogs extended their streak of NCAA Tournament appearances to 25 straight. Back in Spokane on Wednesday night, the Zags improved to 5-0 by routing Long Beach State 84-41, no doubt firing up expectations in the Lilac City and beyond. In a college sports climate dominated by NIL and the transfer portal, the Zags are stacked. Of the 12 possible players who could return from last year, 10 did, including all four starters. They returned 81% of last season's scoring and 71% of their rebounding. Six of its top seven scorers are back, along with 81.4% of minutes played. “We're tougher,” Few said. “We're physically tougher, we're mentally tougher, at least so far in the season. A lot of the same guys from last year. That's what happens when you stick around a couple of years. “You've got to have both to be able to go on the road in a place like this and dig out wins," Few added. "That's one thing San Diego State is going to bring. They're going to bring physicality, they're going to bring great athleticism, they're going to challenge you in every facet of the game.” Hoops powerhouse Gonzaga announced on Oct. 1 that it will move from the West Coast Conference, where it has dominated for most of the last quarter-century, into a Pac-12 conference being rebuilt around football. Beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, Gonzaga will become the eighth member along with holdovers Washington State and Oregon State, and fellow newcomers Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State and Colorado State from the Mountain West. While not as dominant as the Zags, the Aztecs have been one of the West Coast's best programs for several years, first under Steve Fisher and then Dutcher, his longtime assistant who is in his eighth season as head coach. “They're just going to be such a great partner, because they value basketball and they support basketball,” said Few, who's in his 26th season as head coach. “They understand, when you have a national program like we both have, it pays unbelievable dividends to the university, to the community, to the city and the state, like the Northwest and down here. They get that. We're looking for other like-minded places to partner with us.” Few said he would often chat with Fisher about the possibility of the Zags and Aztecs playing in the same conference. Fisher watches Aztecs games with his wife, Angie, from the second row above Steve Fisher Court. “We talked about it forever,” Few said. “I'm happy for Dutch. He's doing a great job." San Diego State reached its first Final Four in 2023, when Lamont Butler's thrilling buzzer-beater against Florida Atlantic lifted the Aztecs into the national championship game, where they lost 76-59 to UConn. SDSU was routed again by UConn, 82-52, in last season's Sweet Sixteen, while Gonzaga lost to Purdue. Gonzaga opened this season with a 101-63 win against then-No. 8 Baylor at the Spokane Arena. It was Gonzaga’s biggest victory margin over a top-10 opponent, over a team it lost to in the 2021 national title game in Indianapolis. Nembhard, who had 19 points and 10 assists against the Aztecs, said the Zags “did a really good job, actually,” of handling the pressure of playing at Viejas Arena. "Every time they went on a little run and the crowd got loud, we did a good job staying composed and trusting our offensive sets.” Nembhard will be gone when the Bulldogs and Aztecs are in the Pac-12 together, but thinks "the rivalry will be great. This is a great program. I played them a couple of times at Creighton, and they always gave us a tough game. They have a great fan base, a great coach over there, and they play really hard. I think it’ll be a great rivalry to come.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The clothing retailer has massively expanded its Liverpool location during a lengthy renovation project at the city centre site. The store has been partially closed for several months while works were underway to expand the store, but it opened fully at 9.30am on Thursday, December 12. As soon as the store opened, staff were met by a flurry of excited shoppers who couldn't wait to get inside and shop the new collections on offer. The expanded store is able to stock a much larger selection of menswear and children's clothing - with many items that were previously only available online to Liverpool shoppers. The store also has two new areas dedicated to ZARA's popular fragrances - a very conscious choice which was inspired by a trend that store bosses noted about the Liverpool store. Liverpool shoppers buy more Zara fragrances than any other city, and the expansion was planned accordingly to include an area that's all about the retailer's perfumes and aftershaves. Located to the rear or the ground and first floors, the menswear and womenswear floors both have their own fragrance sections. Photos taken inside the Liverpool ONE store show a huge selection of scents lined up on the shelves, with testers available for shoppers to try fragrances that would previously only have been available to them online. The rear of the store is also where shoppers will find the new changing rooms and plenty of self-service and staffed tills to reduce waiting times when buying or returning items. The womenswear section reopened to the public in September, but with the rest of the store now open, shoppers will notice a much more spacious layout throughout the Liverpool ONE location. The Liverpool ONE store has doubled in size to accommodate new facilities and technologies, jumping from its previous 27,000 sq ft unit to 42,000 sq ft. Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Liverpool ONE owners Grosvenor, previously said: “Zara choosing to increase their investment in Liverpool ONE is a testament to the location’s reputation as a destination for flagships. As one of Liverpool ONE’s leading retailers, we have no doubt that the upsized anchor store will only serve to strengthen Zara’s sustained demand and loyal customer base in Liverpool.”
