Phoebe Dynevor has been set to star in Beach Read, the upcoming feature adaptation from 20th Century Studios based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Emily Henry. The project marks another major literary adaptation for the studio and places Dynevor at the center of one of the most popular contemporary romance titles of recent years.

Published in 2020, Beach Read quickly became a breakout success and established Emily Henry as a leading voice in modern romantic fiction. The story follows January Andrews, a successful romance novelist who finds herself grappling with grief and writer’s block after the death of her father and the revelation of long hidden family secrets. Seeking both distance and clarity, January spends the summer at her late father’s Michigan beach house to prepare it for sale. What begins as a quiet retreat soon becomes something far more complicated.

Bill Gates withdrew from India's flagship AI Impact Summit hours before he was due to deliver a keynote address on Thursday, as renewed scrutiny over his past association with late financier Jeffrey Epstein intensified following the release of U.S. Justice Department files.

The last-minute cancellation dealt a setback to a high-profile gathering that New Delhi has promoted as a defining moment in its ambition to shape global artificial intelligence governance.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said the decision was taken after "careful consideration" to ensure attention remained on the summit's priorities. Ankur Vora, who leads the foundation's Africa and India offices, spoke in Gates's place. Gates has previously said meeting Epstein was a mistake and confined to philanthropic discussions. He has not been accused of wrongdoing.

New details have emerged surrounding the death of Food Network chef Anne Burrell, who passed away last year at age 55. According to a police report obtained by PEOPLE, investigators discovered a "suicidal note" in the primary bedroom of Burrell's Brooklyn home, along with several journal entries expressing similar thoughts.

The report indicated that Burrell's husband, Stuart Claxton, noticed something unusual in the bedroom the morning of June 17, 2025, which led him to find his wife unresponsive. Emergency services were called immediately, and Burrell was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities later confirmed her death was ruled a suicide. The New York City medical examiner's office determined her cause of death as acute intoxication resulting from the combined effects of several substances, including diphenhydramine, cetirizine, ethanol, and amphetamine.

More details about Victoria Jones' untimely death are emerging.

Over a month after Tommy Lee Jones' daughter died at the age of 34, her death was determined to be an "accident," caused by the "toxic effects of cocaine," the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in San Francisco, Calif., told People on February 17.

Victoria was discovered dead at a hotel in San Francisco, California, on January 1. On January 2, city fire officials confirmed to E! News that they responded to a medical emergency at 2:52 a.m. local time on New Year's Day. When paramedics arrived, they performed an assessment and pronounced the person dead on the scene. The San Francisco Fire Department then handed over the case to the medical examiner and Sthe SanFrancisco Police Department.

Following the actress's tragic death, Tommy Lee, 79, issued a statement on behalf of their family, saying, "We appreciate all of your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Please respect our privacy at this difficult time."

Victoria, whom Tommy Lee shared with ex Kimberlea Cloughley and their son Austin Jones, 43, made her film debut in Men in Black II, alongside her father and Will Smith, when she was 11 years old in 2002.

She later appeared in Tommy Lee's 2005 neo-Western The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and the 2014 film The Homesman. She also had a brief appearance on One Tree Hill before officially retiring from acting in 2014.

Despite her brief stint in the industry, Tommy Lee expressed his pride in his daughter's career.

"She's a good actress, has her SAG card, and speaks impeccable Spanish," the star of The Fugitive told The New Yorker in 2006. “When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.”

In fact, Victoria was such an important part of Tommy Lee's life that she inspired him to write The Homesman, a Western about sexism in the 1800s, which he also directed and starred in.

"My grandmother, mother, wife, and daughter are all women," Tommy Lee, who married Dawn Laurel-Jones in 2001, told Interview magazine in 2014. "Many of my dear friends, including yourself, are women. I am just interested in how they feel and what’s wrong. And if you want to know what’s wrong today, looking at what was wrong yesterday is a pretty good place to start."

Prince William has offered a candid look at parenting and mental health, sharing personal reflections during a panel appearance on BBC Radio 1's Life Hacks: Mental Health Special. The Prince of Wales spoke openly about raising his three children with Catherine, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and the emotional awareness they demonstrate at home.

Discussing family life, he explained that his children are comfortable expressing their feelings and communicating about their experiences, joking that they share their thoughts "sometimes too much." While he described receiving "all the details" as something he appreciates, he acknowledged that these conversations often trigger an instinct to intervene and solve their problems. He admitted, "You feel a sense that you need to fix it, for everyone and that I find quite difficult," adding that he has learned to remind himself that listening matters more than offering immediate solutions.

"I have to remind myself that you don't need to fix everything, but you need to listen and it's important just to be OK with those feelings and those comments," he said. He further emphasized the importance of emotional range, noting that "You're going to have uncomfortable emotions and you're going to have really great emotions, there's a huge spectrum of in between."
