Death of a Salesmanrevival starNathan Laneisdefinitelynot buying whatMatthew McConaugheyandTimothée Chalametare selling.

Lane savagely slammed both actors during a Thursday morning appearance onThe View, where moderatorWhoopi Goldbergasked the Hollywood veteran to weigh in onthe ongoing controversythat saw Chalamet — amid a town hall discussion with McConaughey — dismiss the popularity of art forms like opera and ballet.

"Oh, what a schmuck," Lane said, as comedianJoy Beharobserved, "He opened his mouth. Poor guy. Leave him alone!"

Lane replied, further digging in on Chalamet: "It was kind of kaleidoscopic in its stupidity and insensitivity, and yet strangely telling about where we are in this country."

He added, with a nod towardhis own filmography, "First of all, one should remember, people will be going to seeSwan LakeandLa Traviatalong after someone at a dinner party says, 'Who was Timothée Chalamet?' It's the show businesscircle of life."

Lane posed that "the bigger question is, why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? Who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?"

He then jabbed Donald Trump upon asking why there isn't "a town hall meeting with Democrats discussing how to get this lunatic out of the White House?"

Speaking on the subject of the Oscar-nominatedMarty Supreme, which follows Chalamet as a hyper-competitive ping-pong player, Lane added: "I've got news for Timmy. If you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can't tell you how much we don't care about ping-pong."

Lane issued a final criticism of both stars when he joked that "some weed was smoked beforehand" at their joint town hall.

"This may just be a tragic case of terribly unfunny people trying to be funny, which always ends in disaster," he finished.

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to representatives for McConaughey and Chalamet for comment.

Earlier this week,Goldberg and Sunny Hostin also criticized Chalametfor saying that "no one cares" about ballet and opera.

Hostin said that Chalamet's words were "vapid" and "shallow," while Goldberg advised him to "be careful, boy" about his words on other people's art — especially as he contends for Best Actor at the Oscars this Sunday.

In EW'sannual Secret Ballot feature ahead of the Oscars, one anonymous actor told us that he "lost a lot of respect" for Chalamet amid the 30-year-old performer's comments: "F--- that guy," the actor said.

Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer married on July 29, 1981—with Camilla Parker Bowles in attendance.

The Gist

• At some point in the 1980s, Charles and Camilla began an extramarital affair, which Diana (and the rest of the world) knew about.

• Diana's former bodyguard Ken Wharfe remembered the dramatic moment where Diana confronted Camilla at a party.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for this moment.

The entire world, it seems, knew aboutPrince Charles's extramarital affair withCamilla Parker Bowles—now Queen Camilla—and so, too, didPrincess Diana, Charles's wife. Camilla was always a presence in her marriage to Charles, even attending their royal wedding on July 29, 1981. It all came to a head during what Diana later called the "bravest moment" in her marriage to Charles, which ended in 1996, almost exactly one year before she died as a result of a Paris car accident on August 31, 1997 at just 36 years old.

The former Princess of Wales's former bodyguard Ken Wharfe recounted the time Diana confronted Camilla about her affair with Charles at a party, marking a turning point in Diana's marriage, according toBrides.

Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot, was hosting a party, and Diana was invited. Nobody expected Diana to actually show, though—but she did.

"Diana didn't have any particular friendships at that party, but when we arrived there, it as almost like freeze-framing a scene in a movie because there was this surprise that Diana had even arrived," Wharfe told ITV (perThe Mirror).

After about an hour, Diana motioned to her protection officer. "I went out, and there was Diana, who said, 'You've got to come with me. I can't find my husband or Camilla,'" Wharfe said. "Now, I couldn't say no—clearly, this woman was in some distress, and eventually, we found the prince and Camilla [sitting] on a sofa in the basement of this property, just talking."

Upon seeing this, Diana confronted Camilla—the first time she'd ever done so, Wharfe said. "I didn't know quite what Diana was going to do at that point, but with a great deal of confidence, Diana just went up to both of them and said to Camilla, 'Please don't treat me like an idiot. I know what's going on,'" he remembered.

"And Camilla sort of said something, to which still to this day I have never really understood what she meant by that is, 'Well, you know, you have two wonderful boys,'" Wharfe said. "Well, it was an incredible moment for me, and certainly them as well. That was a defining moment in their life because I think at that point…this was an indicator the end was nigh."

Charles and Diana ultimately separated in 1992, and their divorce was finalized four years later. In a 1995 interview, Diana famously said, "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded"—and eight years after Diana's 1997 death, Charles and Camilla themselves married in 2005.

Kacey Musgravesis letting bygones be bygones with her new album.

TheGrammy-winning country singer, who's set to release her seventh studio album"Middle of Nowhere"in May, opened up about her collaboration withMiranda Lambertand how the song helped the singers patch things up after a rumored feud.

Musgraves' duet with Lambert, the cheekily titled "Horses and Divorces," is among the 13 tracks from her latest project, her first album since 2024's"Deeper Well."

"We'd lost touch for years and wouldn't consider each other friends," Musgraves, 37, toldNPRin an interview published Wednesday, March 11. "I saw her on Instagram one day, riding one of her horses, and I was like, 'Well, we ain't friends, but I guess we have two things in common, horses and divorces, that's for sure.'"

Lambert was married to fellow country singerBlake Sheltonfrom 2011 to 2015 before her current marriage to partner Brendan McLoughlin, while Musgravessplit from her first husband, Ruston Kelly, in 2020 after three years together.

Musgraves and Lambert first joined musical forces in the early 2010s when the "Follow Your Arrow" singer's song,"Mama's Broken Heart,"landed on Lambert's fourth album, "Four the Record."

"There was all this excitement behind 'Mama's Broken Heart' for me. It was going to be my first single, and I loved the song so much," Musgraves said. "I had been a staff writer for years at that point, writing for other people and had finally felt like I was collecting songs that felt like me that I didn't want to pitch to anyone else."

Kacey Musgraves' 'Middle of Nowhere':Singer announces new album with Texas roots

Kacey Musgraves says Miranda Lambert collaboration helped air 'old laundry'

"Mama's Broken Heart" was later pitched to Lambert "without my consent or knowledge," Musgraves told NPR. Released as a single in 2013, the song peaked at No. 2 onBillboard's Hot Country Songs chart, the same year Musgraves dropped her debut album, "Same Trailer Different Park."

"It was a tricky situation," said Musgraves, who cowrote the song with Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. "She ended up loving the song, and she really wanted it. And I had other cowriters to consider. I knew I would have to go back to the drawing board."

Despite the song dispute, Musgraves said she "randomly reached out" to Lambert when she got the idea for "Horses and Divorces," recalling her message to the singer: "'I'm not trying to be your friend. You got your life, I have mine. But I think this would be a pretty ... funny song.'"

"It was very full circle in so many ways," Musgraves continued. "We aired out any of the old laundry. We had some laughs and wrote the song in a matter of a few hours."

In the end, Musgraves said she's "really glad" Lambert recorded "Mama's Broken Heart," as it led to the creation of her debut single "Merry Go 'Round," which became a top 10 country hit.

"['Horses and Divorces'] could be also a micro representation of what I wish that the world would do sometimes," Musgraves said. "Just ... sit down and poke fun at each other, have a beer and call it a day."

Musgraves' new album "Middle of Nowhere" will be released on May 1.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pro-Iranian hackers are targeting sites in the Middle East and starting tostretch into the United Statesduring the war, raising the risk of American defense contractors, power stations and water plants being swept into a wave of digital chaos that could expand if Tehran's allies join the fray.

Iran US Cyber Threats

Hackers supporting Iran claimed responsibility for a significant cyberattack Wednesday against U.S. medical device company Stryker. Sincethe war began Feb. 28, they also have tried to penetrate cameras in Middle Eastern countries to improve Iran's missile targeting. They have targeted data centers in the region, as well as industrial facilities in Israel, a school in Saudi Arabia and an airport in Kuwait.

Iran hasinvested heavilyin its offensive cyber capabilities while cultivating ties to hacking groups. In recent years, groups working for Tehran have infiltrated the email system of President Donald Trump's campaign,targeted U.S. water plantsand tried to breach the networks used by the military and defense contractors.

The goal is to wear down the American war effort, drive up the costs of energy, strain cyber resources and cause as much pain as possible for American companies that depend on the defense industry.

"Something is going to happen because thegloves are off," said Kevin Mandia, founder of the cybersecurity companies Mandiant and Armadin.

Who is being targeted

Pro-Iranian, pro-Palestinian hackers claimed credit fordisrupting systems at Stryker, a Michigan-based medical technology company. A group known as Handala said the attack was in retaliation for suspected U.S.strikes that killed Iranian schoolchildren.

Like other ideologically motivated hackers, profit is not Handala's goal, according to Ismael Valenzuela, vice president of threat intelligence at the cybersecurity company Arctic Wolf.

"What distinguishes this group is its clear focus on data destruction rather than financial extortion," he said in an email.

Polish authorities are investigating a recent cyberattack — on a nuclear research facility — that may have ties to Iran, though they acknowledge that another group could be behind the attack and using the Iran war to mask its identity.

Going forward, U.S. defense contractors, government vendors and businesses that work with Israel are likely targets, as is critical infrastructure such ashospitals,ports, water plants,power stationsandrailways.

Pro-Iranian hackers openly discuss their plans in Telegram and other online message boards.

"Thedatacentersneed to be taken out," wrote one user, as uncovered by researchers at U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group. "They host the brains of USAs military communication and targeting systems."

Cyber operations also gather intelligence — for example, Iran's effort to hack into cameras in neighboring countries to aid its missile targeting. Infiltrating U.S. networks, meanwhile, would offer view into military planning or supply chains.

Going after easy targets

The strikes on Iran's military as well as internet outages may have limited Iran's cyberattacks in the short term. But experts say Iranian hackers and their allies will aim for quick victories by targeting the weakest links in American cybersecurity.

Often, localwater plantsorhealth care facilitieslack the funds and know-how to install the latest software patches or take other security steps. That has made them afavorite target,both because of the relative ease of penetrating them and because of the panic these disruptions can cause.

This can includedenial-of-service attacks, in which hackers try to jam a network so legitimate users cannot use it, and website defacements, which can prevent a company from communicating with customers. Hack-and-leak operations, where hackers threaten to release sensitive stolen material, are another possibility.

The attacks are not that sophisticated, according to Shaun Williams, a former FBI and CIA officer who is now a senior director at the cybersecurity firm SentinelOne. But if a business or government agency has failed to keep up with its cybersecurity, it could pay a steep price, he said.

"Patch your systems. Ensure your firewalls and security solutions are up to date," Williams said. "Remove your stale accounts. All the cyber hygiene that you should be doing, it's more critical now than ever. Prepare for disruption."

When it comes to cyber, Iran is considered a chaos agent

Russia and China present the greatest cyber threats to the U.S., while North Korea is a growing concern. But what Iran has lacked in resources it hasmade up for in ingenuity, experts say.

In recent years, Tehran's digital warriors have impersonated American activists online to covertly encourageprotests against Israelon college campuses. They have set up fake news websites and social media accounts primed to spread false and exaggerated claims before big U.S. elections.

In 2024, Iranian hackersinfiltrated the email systemof the Trump campaign and latertried to disseminate filesthat the hackers said they stole. Hackers linked to Iran alsotried to hack into the WhatsApp accountsof both Trump and his then-Democratic opponent, President Joe Biden.

The activity prompted the Department of Homeland Security toissue a public warninglast year about Iranian cyber threats.

"Iran and especially the proxies don't care how big or smart you are. This is about making an impact, about creating chaos," said James Turgal, a cybersecurity expert who spent 22 years as an FBI agent and is now a vice president at Optiv, a Denver-based information security firm.

Next moves from Russia and China

Experts are watching closely to see if Russia, China or hacking groups allied with either country provide hacking assistance to Iran, mounting attacks intended to undermine American operations in Iran and make it harder for the U.S. to sustain its fight.

While China has so far taken a cautious approach, there is evidence that pro-Iranian hackers in Russia are already at work. Researchers at the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike detected a surge of activity from Russian hackers in support of Tehran since the war began.

One group known as Z-Pentest claimed responsibility for disrupting several U.S. networks, including some involved in closed-circuit video cameras.

The timing of the attack suggests the hackers were targeting U.S. interests because of the war in Iran, according to Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike.

"Western organizations should continue to remain on high-alert," Meyers said.

A gunman is dead and two people are critically injured following a shooting Thursday morning at Old Dominion University.

The shooter opened fire at approximately 10:49 a.m. in Constant Hall, the Norfolk, Virginia, university said in anemergency alert.

The two people who were injured have not been identified. They were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in critical condition, a hospital spokesperson said.

The school sent out an urgent alert at 10:48 a.m. about an active threat in the building. At 11:30 a.m., the school described the incident as an "active shooter situation" and said the shooter had been "neutralized."

The university did not provide further details, and the gunman's identity has not been revealed.

The school said there is no longer a threat on campus, but asked people to avoid the area. Classes were canceled on the main campus for the remainder of the day.

Norfolk Police and the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the scene.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger said she was closely monitoring the situation.

"I have spoken with university leadership. My Administration remains in close contact with local emergency responders as state support is being mobilized to assist ODU and Norfolk," she said in a post on X.

University President Brian O. Hemphill thanked law enforcement for their quick response and said campus safety remains a top priority.

"We are deeply committed to safeguarding all Monarchs and ensuring a secure learning, living, and working environment at all times. We take this responsibility very seriously and remain vigilant in our efforts to maintain a safe campus," he said in astatement."I extend my thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the incident, as well as the entire campus and the broader community."
