Soap opera icon Eileen Fulton dies at 91
According to Variety, Fulton passed away on Monday in Asheville, North Carolina, after a period of declining health. Her death was confirmed by a funeral home through an obituary.
Fulton joined As the World Turns in 1960 and remained on the show until it ended in 2010. She played Lisa Miller, one of soap opera's earliest and most famous "bad girl" characters. Over five decades, Lisa's storyline included eight marriages, countless plot twists, and a long-standing place in viewers' hearts. Fulton herself helped shape the role, asking writers to add more edge and drama to her character, which helped keep the show popular.
In 1998, Fulton was inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame. She also received a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004 for her work in television.
Outside the soap opera, Fulton had a successful stage career. While acting live on As the World Turns, she also appeared in Broadway's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and off-Broadway in The Fantasticks. She performed cabaret acts across New York and Los Angeles for years.
Fulton also wrote two autobiographies: "How My World Turns" in 1970 and "As My World Still Turns" in 1995, marking her 35th year on the soap. In the late 1980s, she wrote six murder mystery novels.
She retired from acting in 2019 and moved to Black Mountain, North Carolina. Fulton is survived by her brother Charles Furman McLarty, niece Katherine Morris, and sister-in-law Chris Page McLarty. (ANI)

Trey Parker humorously apologizes to Trump after WH anger over South Park's controversial episode; ‘We're terribly…'
Trey Parker, a co-creator of South Park, apologized humorously to President Donald Trump for making fun of him in the premiere of the show's 27th season. Trey Parker further mentioned in the panel that their producers sent them a note regarding the controversial episode on Trump. The Wednesday broadcast featured a number of gags about Trump, including one that showed him in bed with Satan while naked. After its broadcast, the White House characterised South Park as a 'fourth-rate' program that was 'hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.' 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' stated White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' Here's what Trey Parker said When asked about the response at a panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Parker made a mock-serious face, stating, 'We're terribly sorry.' Parker was participating in a panel with actor Andy Samberg, who co-developed the animated series Digman, co-creator Matt Stone, and Mike Judge, who created Beavis and Butthead! Parker further mentioned in the panel that their producers sent them a note regarding the episode. 'They said, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the pe***,' and I said, 'No you're not gonna blur the penis,'' he stated. Also Read: 'I never went to that island': Trump makes big statement amid Epstein allegations, points finger at Bill Clinton 'If we put eyes on the pen**, we won't blur it,' Stone continued, referring to the team's decision to make the penis a character. " That was a whole conversation with grown-up people for four fu***** days.' The premiere attacked Paramount for its $16 million settlement with Trump, which came hours after Parker and Stone agreed to a five-year, $1.5 billion contract with the firm for 50 new episodes and the streaming rights to earlier seasons. In the episode, Trump files a lawsuit against the town of South Park when its citizens contest the existence of Jesus Christ in its elementary school. Jesus advises them to make a settlement. 'You guys saw what happened to CBS? Yeah, well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount,' Jesus states. 'Do you really want to end up like Colbert?' CBS and parent company Paramount Global canceled Stephen Colbert's Late Show last week after he harshly criticized Paramount's settlement of Trump's lawsuit over a 60-minute interview. The Late Show's cancellation was a strictly financial decision, according to executives at CBS and Paramount.

'Not drama...': Tanushree Dutta replies to trolls who allege her viral video was a publicity stunt
Please someone help me Tanushree Dutta is in a lot of trouble shared a video crying and said I am confined to my house Tanushree Dutta, the OG MeToo whistleblower, has opened up about the emotional video she recently shared on her social media. In the now-viral clip that she shared on Tuesday, the actress can be seen sobbing and talking about being allegedly 'harassed' inside her home.' I am being harassed in my own house. I just called the cops, and they have asked me to come to the police station to lodge a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or the day after. I am not well. I have been harassed so much in the past five years that I have fallen sick,' she said in the video. Why did Tanushree Dutta make the video? Tanushree has alleged that the video was a result of years of 'pain, stress, and fear she faced over the last five years'. Speaking to ANI, Tanushree said her video was not a stunt or drama, but a real 'emotional response after enduring repeated traumatic events since MeToo allegations in 2018'. 'First of all, I want to say that it was my emotional response,' she said. 'A lot of strange things have happened to me in the last five years. After MeToo, serious and dangerous things started happening around me. It took me time to understand that all of this was actually happening to me,' she said. 'I was in an accident; my brakes failed. There were also attempts to mix something in my food to make me sick. Strange things started happening outside my house too,' Tanushree added. Tanushree Dutta reacted to the trolls When asked if anyone from the film industry reached out to help, she said, 'I don't have any friends. And when all of this started happening to me, the few contacts I had also disappeared.' About people calling her a drama queen after her video, Tanushree said, 'People always say such things. They said I was acting in 2008, they said the same in 2018. And who are these people anyway?' She also responded to the accusations that her viral video was a publicity stunt saying, 'There are many ways to go viral. I don't need to do all this. I am Tanushree Dutta. Miss India Universe,' she first gained fame when she won the Femina Miss India Universe title in later acted in popular films like Aashiq Banaya Apne, Dhol, and Bhagam Bhag.
