The latest on Auliʻi Cravalho, Kanye West, and John Lennon’s killer
Moana’s voice, Auliʻi Cravalho takes the next step
Auliʻi Cravalho’s life changed forever at 14 when she was cast as the voice of Disney’s “Moana.”
Now 19, Cravalho is checking off another milestone: Her first lead live-action role and film, “All Together Now,” is being released on Netflix.
The film from director finds Cravalho playing a very different kind of character from the adventurous Polynesian princess. Amber is a high school student with a to-die-for voice, an unflappable optimism and a dream of going to Carnegie Mellon. She also happens to be living in a school bus with her alcoholic mother.
Kanye West sues Ohio election head to get on November ballot
COLUMBUS, Ohio: Rapper Kanye West sued Ohio’s election chief in an effort to be placed on the November presidential ballot after the Secretary of State deemed him unqualified as an independent candidate.
West’s filing against Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose comes after the election’s chief rejected nearly 15,000 signatures and other paperwork the rapper submitted to run for president, citing mismatched information on the documents.
Attorneys for West’s campaign allege that it is LaRose’s duty to accept any petition for an independent candidate as long as there is no protest filed against it and it doesn’t violate Ohio law.
John Lennon’s killer denied parole for an 11th time
ALBANY, N.Y.: Mark David Chapman, the man who gunned down John Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment in 1980, was denied parole for an 11th time. Chapman is serving a 20-years-to-life sentence at a Buffalo facility.
Chapman killed the Beatle hours after Lennon autographed his album. He has said that he feels “more and more shame” every year.
“I was too far in,” Chapman said in 2018. “I do remember having the thought of, ‘Hey, you have got the album now. Look at this, he signed it, just go home.’ But there was no way I was just going to go home.”
