Supreme Court to consider reviving lawsuit restricting evangelizing in small Mississippi town
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Thursday it will consider whether to revive a lawsuit from a man barred from evangelizing outside a small-town Mississippi amphitheater after authorities say he shouted insults at people over a loudspeaker. Gabriel Olivier, an evangelical Christian, says restricting him from public property violated his religious and free speech rights, but a legal Catch-22 has barred him from challenging the law in court. Lower courts found he couldn't file a civil-rights lawsuit because he'd been arrested, and instead needed to file under habeas corpus, a legal remedy open to prisoners. But because he was ticketed rather than imprisoned, his lawyers say that option wasn't open either, effectively denying him a day in court. The city of Brandon, Mississippi, on the other hand, says the restrictions aren't about religious speech, but rather about limiting disturbances caused when he and his group yelled insults like 'Jezebel,' 'nasty,' and 'drunkards' at people passing by. The ordinance restricts demonstrations near the amphitheater but does allow him to preach from a designated 'protest zone,' and has already survived another lawsuit, the city said. The city says the case is about Olivier and his group's 'desire to have their preferred method of protest, without regard for the rights or interests of anyone else.' Olivier's attorneys say he was engaging in respectful and protected speech at the time of his arrest, and the case centers on a key legal issue affecting free speech across the political spectrum.

'Every American has First Amendment rights to free speech; and every American has a right to their day in court,' said Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO for First Liberty Institute, which is representing him along with attorney Allyson Ho of the firm Gibson Dunn. 'Both of these rights were violated for Gabe Olivier. The Supreme Court will now decide whether those rights will be protected for all Americans.' The court is expected to hear arguments in the fall.

Nine Perfect Strangers' Season 3 Updates
The second season of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers premiered in May with a new cast of characters, all subjected to the whims of Masha Dmitrichenko, played by Nicole Kidman. The experimental Wellness program ended dramatically, as is to be expected, and fans wonder if there will be more to learn about Masha's psychological philosophies in future seasons. Will there be more strangers meeting in a remote location soon? Here's what we know so far. Hulu has not yet renewed the show for another season, but since season 2 just came out a month ago, they may need more time to assess before making a decision. This season saw the strangers arrive at an exclusive Alpine retreat called Zauberwald to meet Masha for their psychedelic therapy. The official synopsis reads: 'Nine new strangers connected in ways they could never imagine are invited by mysterious guru, Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman), to join a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps. Over the course of a week, she takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.' The main thing that changes each season so far is the location and the cast, aside from Kidman, who remains the lynchpin of the whole process of becoming 'well.' Kidman would have to return as Masha Dmitrichenko, but other than that, it's anyone's guess. The show has attracted some major stars who probably want to do more TV projects with less of a commitment. Season 2 starred Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong, and Aras Aydin.

Infact, a Barbie doll house, kitchen set and who can forget her Ken, all remain etched strongly in memory of all those who played with the doll set in infancy and as toddlers. While Barbie continues to be one of the best gifts for kids who love to play with toys, there is a living or rather 'human barbie' around too. Let's dig deeper about her today: Meet 'Human Barbie' 2 / 8 Valeria Valeryevna Lukyanova, originally a Ukrainian model, is best known for her resemblance to a Barbie doll. She lives in Moscow reportedly, and caught attention worldwide for her uncanny looks reminding everyone of a barbie doll. Lukyanova once stated that she has had breast implants, but that the rest of her body is natural and slender due to daily gym workouts and a particular diet. She is 39. Lukyanova lived in Odesa, Ukraine from age 16 until 2014, when she moved to Moscow. Valeria Valeryevna Lukyanova Aka Human Barbie's Modelling Days 3 / 8 Valeria Valeryevna Lukyanova won the worldwide beauty contest 'Miss Diamond Crown of the World' in 2007. It had about 300 contestants, and had no rule forbidding plastic surgery or body modification. She became famous for her Barbie doll-like appearance after she posted photos and videos of herself on social media. The first notable coverage of her from outside Russia was on the Jezebel blog, followed by a photo session in V by Sebastian Faena. The media described her as being like a living Barbie doll. Human Barbie Is Married To... 4 / 8 Valeria Lukyanova aka 'Human Barbie' is married to Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Shkrabov, her childhood friend. However, Lukyanova said that she does not want to have children or a 'family lifestyle.' Human Barbie's Profession 5 / 8 Valeria Lukyanova is an instructor at the School of Out-of-Body Travel, described as 'an international school in which our instructors show students how to leave their physical body and travel in their spiritual body.' Her spiritual name is Amatue, as per Wikipedia. She has recorded two albums of new-age music, Sun in the Eyes and 2013 using the name Amatue besides writing a book 'Astral Travel Amatue'. Human Barbie Movie Debut 6 / 8 She made her movie debut in a feature film in The Doll (2017), a horror movie directed and written by Susannah O'Brien. The film, which also includes Mindy Robinson and Ron Jeremy, revolves around Lukyanova's character, an escort made from doll parts created by a doctor to recruit others to kill, and the two men who requested her. The movie presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017. What A Living Barbie Eats... 7 / 8 She is a strict raw vegetarian, living on a liquid diet. She said that her weight was 45 kg (100 lb) in 2012. In 2014, she stated she was training herself to live off only light and air and converting to breatharianism, a cult with the central belief that food and possibly water are not necessary for survival. However, she later stopped this experiment, stating: "I still would like to do breatharianism someday. But right now, I am far from it, and I do not know when I will do it", quotes Wiki. Human Barbie Doesn' Like Being Called So 8 / 8 In an interview with Cosmopolitan once she said, "I don't want people to try to copy someone, and that's why I don't like when people think I am imitating a doll; it's degrading. I'm used to it now, since that's what my work demands and this is precisely the image most fans request. So I have to comply with it because it's become part of my aesthetic image, but I don't like it.'
