• Jessie Buckley revealed that a man named Tony, whom she met in London as a college student, "very kindly" paid for her tuition for her final three years of school at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts

• Buckley, who at one point took a break from attending classes at the school, said she "probably wouldn't have been able to stay" at RADA if not for the financial assistance

• The actress has won several awards this winter for her role in Hamnet and is nominated at the Academy Awards on March 15

Jessie Buckleyhas a generous benefactor to thank for funding her education as an actor.

Buckley, 36, appeared onThe Hollywood Reporter'sAwards Chatterpodcast on Monday, Feb. 23, to discuss her Oscar-nominated role inHamnet, upcoming movieThe Bride!and her experience coming up as an actor in Ireland and the U.K. in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

As she recounted her experience studying acting at London's famous drama schoolRoyal Academy of Dramatic Arts(RADA), Buckley noted she took a break between taking her first courses at the school and eventually graduating in 2013, during which she used to perform at a London nightclub called the Ivy Club.

"You know, I am from a family of five and my parents always did their best. But, you know, kind of when you're out, you're out [of the house]," she said, with a laugh, when asked about her benefactor. "And I love that responsibility. But it's hard to I mean, it's hard to like live in a city like London and be able to afford it. And in those moments in the Ivy Club, there was a man called Tony who had seen me sing and he loved theatre and he wanted to support young talent. I think when I had done that first course at RADA, it had been an itch that hadn't been fully scratched. And I'd gone and had a bit of a life experience."

"I wanted to go back and train. I wanted to mess up in private. I wanted to study scripts. I wanted to know what cinema was. I wanted to go to the pub on a Friday evening with people my own age and not worry about, like, that I might go to prison if I didn't pay tax, which seemed like terrifying," she added ."And [Tony] said, 'I want to help you.' And he very kindly paid for my training at RADA and staying in London, which if he didn't, I probably wouldn't have been able to stay."

On her eighth studio album,singer-songwriter Mitskicrafts a stunningly dark tapestry concerned with solitude and death, in which psychological unrest manifests physically as a spooky house.

Music Review - Mitski - 3x2 for APNews

And yes, there are cats.

Mitski has described the new 11 song collection, "Nothing's About to Happen to Me," as a musical continuation ofher celebrated 2023 release,"The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We." She again blends Americana and alt-rock with meticulous orchestral and choral arrangements.

But this is more than a simplesecond edition. At its core, the new release is a free-standing concept album and gothic multimedia project about a reclusive woman's progression from lonesome despair to horror. In her telling, haunter and haunted are often one in the same — and in the same home.

Backed by her large touring band, Mitski unleashes her musical arsenal sparingly but effectively. She utilizes instrumental bursts to shape the narrative and build drama in a manner more common in musical theater than in popular music. Fats Kaplin's mournful pedal steel frequently shines, pairing seamlessly with Mitski's melancholy.

Her patient vocals outline a loose but gutting narrative of an unraveling. On the opener "In a Lake," she sings, "I've tried very hard to be good, but / When they think you're bad, people act worse." As the vignettes descend from loneliness to evident madness, there is little comfort to be found outside the companionship of cats (as evidenced in the track "Cats.")

Mitski's songs sometimes feel nostalgic for a bygone Romantic era, but the raucous, indie rock "Where's My Phone?" piledrives directly into digital-age anxieties and paranoia. Guitarist and longtime-producer Patrick Ryland plays with a chunky urgency that contrasts with her languid delivery. "I keep thinking, 'Surely, somebody will save me'," she sings in the first verse. "At every turn, I learn that no one will."

"I'll Change for You," a standout track on the album, starts out jazzy and becomes increasingly unstructured and unsettled as it recounts a needy drunk dial. Mitski's vocals find a gorgeous, heartbreaking depth as she sings, "If you don't like me now / I'll change for you." But it is clearly too late.

By track nine, "That White Cat," the narrator's solitude has metastasized to deeper disorder, and she raises her voice for the first time. "The white neighborhood cat / Marking my house," Mitski sings, "It's supposed to be my house / But I guess according to cats / Now it's his house."

Those hoping for relief would be wise to look elsewhere. In the song, her lament at having to provide for "the bugs who drink my blood / And the birds who eat those bugs / So that white cat can kill the birds," is as close as the album comes to levity.

Mitski is practicing her craft at a high level here, and she has once again created a powerful artistic statement. But the relentless darkness results in a claustrophobic listen — as is its goal.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are concerned that the formerPrince Andrew's arrest will send King Charles III's health over the edge.

Experts told Fox News Digital it is no surprise that the Prince and Princess of Wales are worried about the king's health after public polls have plummeted on how the monarchy is handling Andrew's connection toJeffrey Epstein.

On Sunday night,William admittedhe was not in a "calm state" while attending the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), which also happened to be the royal couple's first public appearance since Andrew's arrest.

"There is no doubt that the pressures on King Charles, who is suffering from cancer, are intense. William and Catherine are reportedly extremely concerned about the way the crisis over Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is developing and the effect this is having on the King's health," Richard Fitzwilliams, a royals expert, told Fox News Digital.

Prince William Breaks Royal Code To Distance Himself From 'Despicable' Uncle Andrew: Expert

When William was asked if he had a chance to watch "Hamnet" on the red carpet, the prince – who is the president of BAFTA – confessed he "needed to be in a calm mood" to watch the historical drama directed by Chloé Zhao.

"I need to be in quite a calm state, and I am not at the moment. I will save it," he told theDaily Mail.

Ian Pelham Turner, a royals expert, told Fox News Digital that William's comment at the BAFTAs is "indicative" of the stress within the royal family.

Andrew Mountbatten-windsor's Former Home Still Swarming With Police Following Arrest Over Epstein Ties

"The quote by Prince William not in the right state to watch 'Hamnet' the story of William Shakespeare's son's death, is indicative of the stress the Royal family are going through right now, and the physical and mental health of his father King Charles, especially facing the public onslaught of allegations regarding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," Turner said.

He continued, "This is an unprecedented crisis for the Royal family, every day experiencing new allegations recently whilst trying to continue with their public duties whilst fighting a rearguard action over the Andrew allegations and trying to distance themselves from what Andrew has allegedly done to bring the Firm into disrepute."

Turner said that the royal family is "walking on eggshells" every day, knowing that at any time, new allegations could surface.

Hilary Fordwich, a British Royals expert, told Fox News Digital that the public's plummeting opinion on the monarchy is playing into William's less than calm state.

"Given the current plummeting polls regarding the public's perception of how the royals are handling this crisis, on top of the actual scandals, all the royals are feeling this, it's no wonder Prince William, who from the outset wanted a tougher line drawn, is feeling less than calm," Fordwich said.

Fordwich explained that not only have William and Middleton refrained from scandal, their morals have given the monarchy a saving grace.

Kate Middleton Makes First Public Appearance Since Former Prince Andrew's Arrest

"Prince William and Princess Catherine have remained not only out of any scandal, but their conduct, sense of duty and moral standards are impeccable. Just what will save the monarchy," she said.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was released from police custody on Feb. 19, hours after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The former prince faced public scrutiny due to his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, who died by apparent suicide while in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

Emails released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of the Epstein files appeared to show the former prince sharing reports of official trade visits with the disgraced financier. One email showed Andrew sent Epstein the information five minutes after he received it.

King Charles III expressed his "deepest concern" about the news of his brotherbeing arrestedon suspicion of misconduct while in public office.

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation," the king said in a statement.

"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course," he added. "As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all."

Fordwich came to King Charles' defense and noted that over 20 years ago, Charles was against his brother being appointed to public office.

"In defense of then Prince Charles, he was (around 2000–2001) against his brother when the appointment was being discussed, raising concerns regarding his brother not being suitable, that he would 'just play golf and pursue women,'" she told Fox News Digital.

Fordwich continued, "From the 10 U.K. police jurisdictions investigating Andrew, and his treasonous behavior it will all have a ghastly impact on KCIII's health, as all stress does on everyone. Should he abdicate to save the monarchy, it will be no doubt positioned as due to his declining health."

A record-setting snowstorm has prompted managers of The Boston Globe to postpone the printing of their daily newspaper for the first time in its history.

"For more than 153 years, the press workers of The Boston Globe have overcome the elements, technical snafus, and global pandemics to print a daily newspaper," the paper said inan article on its website. "But in an unprecedented decision, executives determined that the conditions during Monday's blizzard made it impossible to print and deliver a paper Tuesday morning."

The Globe said print subscribers will get Tuesday's paper delivered on Wednesday along with Wednesday's edition.

"We don't take the decision lightly," the article quotes Boston Globe Media Vice President of Print Operations Josh Russell as saying. "We're not confident that even if we got a crew in tonight, that we could get the papers on our trucks safely. We weren't confident that that last mile would be doable."

The storm also cut deeply into Monday's deliveries: Only 25 percent of papers reached subscribers, the Globe said.

Snow and winds prevented staff from safely getting to the Globe printing plant to print Tuesday's paper, the newspaper said in the article. Parts of Massachusetts' Bristol County, where the Globe's printing press in Taunton is located, had recorded 32 inches of snow by Monday night, the National Weather Service said.Readers are much less reliant on newsprint for their news in today's internet age. A 2025 survey by the Pew Research Center found that only 7% of U.S. adults often got their news from printed newspapers or magazines. That's compared to 56% who said they often got their news from a smartphone, computer or tablet.Tuesday marks the first time Globe management has called off the newspaper's daily production since its 1872 founding. Labor strikes halted printing a few times in the 1950s and '60s.The Globe said it went to press during another record-setting blizzard nearly five decades ago, when it printed a few thousands copies of a Feb. 7, 1978, edition. Few papers actually made it to readers, however, because piles of snow prevented delivery trucks from getting farther than a mile or two from its building.Monday's blizzard set snowfall records in nearby Rhode Island, where the T.F. Green International Airport in Warwick received nearly 38 inches, breaking a 1978 record.

Thousands in the Northeast remained without power amid freezing temperatures Tuesday morning as people from that region and the mid-Atlantic dug out from extreme snowfall – including more than 2 feet in several states – from the previous two days and faced continuing travel disruptions including hundreds of canceled flights.

Temperatures in much of the Northeast are not expected to climb above freezing Tuesday, so snow melting may be limited.

The storm , which began Sunday night, hit bomb cyclone status in the early hours of Monday as it strengthened extremely quickly, ramping winds tohurricane-force gusts, intensifying snow bands and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands. Local officials echoedstate of emergencydeclarations and issuedtravel banswhile the tens of millions of people underblizzard warningshunkered down.

Of the more than 330,000 customers still in the dark Tuesday in the region, more than 250,000 were in Massachusetts, according toPowerOutage.us. A utility company in the Bay State said blizzard conditions on Monday limited its workers' ability to restore power that day.

Those who do dig out of the snow may have trouble going anywhere despiteeasing travel bans, withpublic transit delays,icyroad conditionsandflight cancellationsacross the region.

As of 8 a.m. ET, more than 2,000 US flights had been canceled Tuesday,according to FlightAware. Nearly 90% of those flights had been scheduled to arrive or depart the four major northeastern airports – Newark; Boston; and LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy in New York – which are still recovering from the storm.

Among those hoping to fly out Tuesday was Alyssa Myers, whose flight from Philadelphia to Albuquerque on Sunday afternoon was canceled. She rebooked and canceled several times.

"If you don't have to go, cancel the trip, get the refund, wait for warmer weather," Myers told CNN's Danny Freeman at Philadelphia International Airport.

The historic storm yielded numerous impacts as schoolsacross the regionclosed, both the US House and Senatepostponedthis week's first vote series, major train routes wereadjusted,public transitwas paused and even the popular food delivery serviceDoorDash suspended its operationsin the country's biggest city.

Though the storm dwindled by Monday evening, a forecast for more looms. Here's what you need to know:

• Stunning snow totals: From the Mid-Atlantic to New England, 1 to 3 feet of snow buried communities during the historic blizzard. As of 7 p.m. ET Monday, Providence, Rhode Island, saw the most snowfall with 37.9 inches. The highest totals in other states include Whitman, Massachusetts, with 33.7 inches; Central Islip, New York, with 31 inches; North Stonington, Connecticut, with 30.8 inches; and Lyndhurst, New Jersey, with 30.7 inches. Follow more snow totals across the Northeast here.

• Records broken across the region: The bomb cyclone delivered historic impacts to cities across the Northeast, becoming the biggest snowstorm on record for Providence, Rhode Island. When just over 27 inches had fallen on Newark, New Jersey, around 1 p.m., the snowstorm officially ranked as the city's second-heaviest based on records dating back to 1931. The storm also marked the Big Apple's snowiest winter since the 2020-2021 season. In Philadelphia, snowfall totals marked the most from a single storm since January 2016.

• Potential for more snow: Another chance for snow will materialize for the Northeast not long after this brutal storm. Fortunately, it looks to be quick-hitting without massive snow potential. The new storm will bring some snow to the Great Lakes on Tuesday and reach the Northeast overnight into Wednesday. Most places in the region will see less than two inches, though higher elevations in Pennsylvania, New York and New England might get a few more.

• Dizzying flight cancellations: The monstrous bomb cyclone also wreaked havoc on air travel, with more than 10,000 US flights canceled from Sunday to Tuesday. That includes more than 2,000 cancellations for Tuesday, with the majority concentrated at Boston Logan International Airport, with high levels of disruption also spread across the New York City–area airports, according to FlightAware.

• Widespread power outages persist: Power outages soared through Monday, caused by extreme winds and heavy snow, with more close to 400,000 customers without power by 6:30 a.m. ET that day, and 650,000 five hours later. Outages across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions appeared to stabilize by 1 p.m. Monday. But some power restoration efforts were delayed because of the very weather that caused them. By early Tuesday, more than 330,000 customers were still impacted.

Tom Bradyrecently spent some quality time with his children abroad.

The retired NFL star, 48, recapped his latest family vacation to Milan with several snaps onInstagram, posing alongside his daughter Vivian, 13, and son Benjamin, 16. Brady, who shares his younger children with ex-wifeGisele Bündchen, captioned the images with a sweet message about their exciting trip to Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

"We had the BEST trip to Milan 🇮🇹 to cheer on some incredible sports stars while spending quality time exploring and learning from so many new people and places!" he wrote in the caption. "Relationships are built on shared experience and there is nothing like finding new cities to spend time with the people you love (just missing you Jack during basketball season back at home ❤️)."

"From our@Deltafamily to@zlatanand@acmilan, the hospitality in this beautiful city made it so enjoyable from the moment we arrived. Great sports, great food (I won the gold medal for pizza on this trip 😂), and even better people," Brady added. "I always love the time to connect, learn, and share moments like this! Until next time. Gracie Millie ❤️❤️❤️."

In addition to Benjamin and Vivian, Brady shares sonJack, 18, with his ex-girlfriend, actressBridget Moynahan. The retired quarterback is always looking for ways to motivate and encourage his children.

Brady and his son Benjamin recently appeared on an episode of Instagram'sCarversations,and the father-son pair candidly spoke about social media use, online behavior and how they navigate these topics as a family. During the conversation, Brady and the teen gave insight into their conversations on social media. While Benjamin admitted to sending funny, random videos, the dad of three said he tends to send more serious, motivational quotes.

"I think it's funny to send you some goofy stuff on occasion," Brady told his son, explaining his thought process behind his DMs. "But I think for the most part, if I'm going to share stuff with you, I want you to look at it and see a real value in it. Like, 'Why would Dad send me that?'"

In a July entry ofhis weekly newsletter, Brady penned a message about finding fulfillment in life outside of the sports world. Brady also opened up about what he believes makes him a "great father."

"I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family," he explained. "I chose to do it by playing football."

"My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."

Brady went on to explain that there is more than one way to show up for your children and be a great parent.

"Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it," he wrote. "Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent."

"And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs," he continued. "Being a great football player didn't make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact — from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide."
