UniversalIf you only know one thing about The Fall Guy, it's probably that in one scene Ryan Gosling's character sits in a car and cries while listening to Taylor Swift's song "All Too Well." It turns out the filmmakers were going to use a different song, until Gosling stepped in.Producer Kelly McCormick tells Vanity Fair that The Fall Guy's director, David Leitch, who's also her husband, initially had a tune by late singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson playing in that scene. "But it felt a little melodramatic to me in a bad way," she says. McCormick says around the same time Gosling asked if they should try a Taylor song in the scene.Accord to McCormick, her husband was against the idea until they went to see the Eras Tour. McCormick says David was blown away by Taylor's performance of the 10-minute version of the song. "The first time we dropped it in, we knew there was no going back, and we were going to be really upset if we couldn’t get it," McCormick says.Luckily, according to McCormick, "Taylor is actually really open to sharing her music with film. We showed her what we had cut, and there were no notes. Thankfully, she ... didn’t price herself so far out of our budget that we weren’t able to include her.”According to Vanity Fair, Taylor hasn't seen the movie yet, but she did praise the comedic version of "All Too Well" that Gosling and co-star Emily Blunt did on Saturday Night Live on April 13. On her Instagram Story at the time, she wrote, "Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour." Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Kinga Krzeminska/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Retail dairy samples recently tested for the avian flu virus, including cottage cheese and sour cream, did not detect any viable virus that would represent a risk to consumers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.In a joint press briefing with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Dr. Donald Prater, acting director of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition for the FDA, shared updates on ongoing bird flu investigations.A multi-state outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows was first reported in late March, according to the CDC. The agency said at the time it had "confirmed one human HPAI A(H5N1) infection that had exposure to dairy cattle in Texas that were presumed to be infected with the virus," adding that it was "working with state health departments to continue to monitor workers who may have been in contact with infected or potentially infected birds/animals and test those people who develop symptoms."Early last week, initial testing results from the national retail milk study, which sampled 96 pasteurized milk products, showed through PCR testing that about 1 in 5 retail milk samples had tested positive for HPAI viral fragments.This week, the agencies announced they had not detected "any viable virus" in a second group of test samples.Second round of dairy product testing did not detect any viable bird flu virus, per FDA"Today we're announcing an additional set of results from our national study of 297 total retail dairy samples. The second group represents an additional 201 samples of pasteurized retail dairy products, including cottage cheese and sour cream in addition to fluid milk," Prater said. "These samples underwent acute qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) testing, as well as the same egg inoculation test, and we're encouraged that this preliminary testing also did not detect any viable virus."To further ensure the safety of other milk-derived products for the youngest population, the FDA said it "tested samples of retail powdered infant formula and powdered milk products marketed as toddler formula," all of which came back negative, "indicating no detection of viral fragments or virus."These additional preliminary results "further affirm the safety of the US commercial milk supply" as well as the efficacy of pasteurization in inactivating HPAI, the agency explained.The FDA is continuing to test samples of pooled raw milk routed to pasteurization and processing for commercial use in order to help characterize potential virus levels that pasteurization may encounter, which will also be used to inform studies to further validate pasteurization.The FDA, with the CDC, USDA and local health partners, is continuing surveillance of milk production, processing and pasteurization to manage the emerging disease.The FDA also reiterated this week that it strongly advises against the consumption of raw milk and recommends that the industry not manufacture or sell raw milk or raw milk products.FSIS ground beef inspection process amid bird flu in cattle"We are very confident that the meat supply is safe," a representative from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service said Wednesday.The meat inspection process includes each animal being inspected before slaughter, and all cattle carcasses must pass inspection after slaughter before they go into the food supply.The FSIS has initiated three separate sampling efforts. The first was a collection of retail ground beef from the affected state, the second tested beef muscle samples from culled dairy cows, and a third study is looking at cooking ground beef at various temperatures.How the CDC is monitoring H5N1 bird flu, local testing of those exposedIn the course of this investigation, the CDC said Wednesday local public health partners had monitored over 100 people, and if anyone presents with symptoms, the next step is to conduct local testing.The CDC said it is monitoring flu surveillance data, "especially in areas where H5N1 viruses have been detected in dairy cattle or other animals for any unusual trends in flu-like illness, flu or conjunctivitis," Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, said in his update Wednesday.At this time, the CDC said it has found "no indicators of unusual flu activity in people, which includes avian influenza."While the number of tests conducted on people locally varies day by day, Daskalakis said "it's around 25" currently.People who have been exposed to infected birds, poultry or other animals are monitored for 10 days after exposure."We are looking to grow H5N1 virus stock from the one human case in Texas to use for additional laboratory experiments to learn how the virus reproduces in both human and cows," he said, which will ultimately help the CDC "assess the severity of illness and transmissibility of the virus under different scenarios."In addition to laboratory testing, the CDC is continuing with outreach and education through public health partner organizations "to ensure preparedness for any potential human infections or exposures.""CDC is conducting broad outreach to the public to raise awareness about the current situation and and remind everyone that the current risk to the general public health is low," Daskalakis said.USDA says bird flu outbreak in dairy cows likely stemmed from single spillover event"We currently have 36 affected hers across nine states," said Dr. Rosemary Sifford, deputy administrator of Veterinary Services and Chief Veterinary Officer for the USDA. "It appears that there was a single spillover event in the Texas panhandle geographic region from wild birds and to dairy cattle. The wild birds are believed to be the initial source of the infection in dairy cattle and then cattle movements spread the virus into other dairy cattle herds and then subsequently into poultry flocks."Sifford added that of the affected herds, 10% have displayed symptoms, and the "cattle that display symptoms generally returned to near their previous production levels after they recover from the virus, which is taking around two weeks."Most cows have recovered with palliative treatment with little or no associated mortality, according to the USDA.The USDA did not provide a specific number of tests conducted on dairy cattle to date, but Sifford said she expects "an increase in the number of tests.""We're requiring any herds that are moving animals inner state to test up to 30 animals in the lot that they expect to move. Once we reach 30 that's a statistically significant number to be able to determine the status of the lot," she said. Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Scott Heins/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Harvey Weinstein is scheduled to be retried "sometime after Labor Day," a judge said Wednesday, as the disgraced film mogul appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for the first time since the New York Court of Appeals threw out his rape conviction.Court officers wheeled Weinstein's wheelchair into and out of the courtroom in Manhattan Supreme Court Wednesday afternoon. He sat before Judge Curtis Farber in a dark suit and tie and made no statements during his 20-minute appearance."It was a strong case in 2020 when the defendant was convicted and remains a strong case in 2024," Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said.Weinstein had been serving a 23-year prison sentence after a jury found him guilty in 2020 of sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley and raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013.Mann appeared in court on Wednesday, seated in the second row near Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg."She's here today to show that she is not backing down," Blumberg said of Mann. "She wanted everyone to know the truth and that the defendant may have power and privilege but she has the truth."Defense attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein "proclaimed his innocence from the day I met him five years ago" and expressed doubt about the strength of the prosecution's case, noting, "He was acquitted of the most serious counts."The initial trial and conviction followed an explosive New York Times article in October 2017 that reported Weinstein had reached at least eight settlements with women who accused him of sexual misconduct over decades. The story sparked an avalanche of accusations from women who came forward with similar accounts and largely kicked off the #MeToo movement, targeting prominent celebrities for sexual misconduct.Weinstein was arrested on May 25, 2018, on charges alleging he sexually assaulted two women.Prosecutors said the movie producer abused his power to take advantage of aspiring female actors, like the alleged victims, to coerce them into unwanted sexual encounters. According to the prosecution, the quid pro quo of assisting them with their careers in exchange for sexual favors on demand was both common behavior and a well-known secret throughout the film industry.He was found guilty in February 2020 of two felonies -- criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape. He was acquitted of the two most serious charges -- predatory sexual assault and first-degree rape.The New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's conviction on Thursday. In a 4-3 opinion, the court said they found the trial judge "erroneously" allowed three women to testify about alleged sexual assaults that were not part of the underlying criminal charges.The Court of Appeals decided the evidence of uncharged crimes "was unnecessary" to establish Weinstein's intent and "served only to establish defendant's propensity to commit the crimes charged."The opinion said the rule against propensity evidence "serves as a judicial bulwark against a guilty verdict based on supposition rather than proof."The Manhattan District Attorney's Office had said following the decision that it intended to retry Weinstein if the complaining witnesses were willing to participate in another trial.Haley is still considering whether to testify at the retrial, according to her attorney, Gloria Allred.Weinstein, 72, remains in custody. He was transferred to Rikers Island and then the New York City jail medical unit at Bellevue Hospital Center late last week ahead of the court appearance, his spokesperson said.Aidala said Wednesday the defense would not seek release on bail."Mr. Weinstein has very, very serious medical issues," Aidala said. "He's being treated at Bellevue Hospital."Aidala remarked following the court appearance that the "most obvious" difference between the two proceedings is the judge."['Farber's] handling of the courtroom and his reputation for fairness and intelligence are exactly what we hope for in this legal process," Aidala told reporters.Aidala said that even if Weinstein were to lose the retrial, "he's already served more time than the remaining minimal charge would require."Weinstein was also convicted of sex offenses in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison there.Aidala said he's appealing that case.His lawyers' appeal brief in that case is due by May 20, The Associated Press reported.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- The Federal Reserve decided to hold its benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday, postponing highly anticipated rate cuts as elevated inflation continues to burden U.S. households.The announcement arrives days after new government data showed that the economy is cooling off.The slowdown has coincided with a months-long stretch of stubborn inflation, putting pressure on the Fed to keep interest rates high despite a risk of hindering economic activity with expensive borrowing costs."The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks," the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's decision-making body on interest rates, said in a statement on Wednesday.Due in part to a lack of recent progress in lowering inflation, the FOMC said it does not anticipate cutting interest rates until it retains confidence that inflation is moving sustainably downward."So far the data has not given us that greater confidence," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a press conference in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. "It is likely that gaining such greater confidence will take longer than previously expected."In the run up to the Fed's decision, some observers raised the possibility of an interest rate hike in the coming months before the central bank moves forward with cuts. In his remarks on Wednesday, Powell downplayed the likelihood of such a move."It is unlikely that the next policy rate move will be a hike," Powell said.At its previous meeting, in March, the Fed stuck to a projection of three rate cuts by the end of 2024, even as it opted to hold interest rates steady for the fifth consecutive time.That approach has amounted to a prolonged pause of the aggressive rate hiking cycle that began roughly two years ago when the central bank sought to rein in rapid price increases.Inflation has fallen significantly from a peak of 9.1% but it remains more than a percentage point higher than the Fed's target rate of 2%.Interest rate cuts would lower borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, potentially triggering a burst of economic activity through greater household spending and company investment.But the Fed risks a rebound of inflation if it cuts interest rates too quickly, since stronger consumer demand on top of solid economic activity could lead to an acceleration of price increases.The recent economic cooldown, meanwhile, could complicate the posture taken up by the Fed.The U.S. economy slowed dramatically at the outset of 2024, though it continued to grow at a solid pace, according to data released by the U.S. Commerce Department last week.Gross domestic product, a measure of all the goods and services produced in the economy, recorded 1.6% annual growth over the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said this week.That figure came in well below expectations, marking a steep slowdown from a 3.4% annual rate measured over the final quarter of last year.In March, before the latest GDP data, Powell said a combination of elevated inflation and economic fortitude offered the Fed an opportunity to hold rates steady at highly elevated levels, since the central bank ran little immediate risk of triggering a downturn."On inflation, it's too soon to say whether the recent readings represent more than just a bump," Powell told a business conference at Stanford University."Given the strength of the economy and progress on inflation so far, we have time to let the incoming data guide our decisions on policy," Powell added.Economists who recently spoke to ABC News downplayed any alarm raised by GDP finding last week, saying resilient consumer spending continues to propel stable growth.But, they added, the Fed could face a difficult position if a gradual cooldown persists alongside elevated inflation. That trend could force the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high even as the economy falters.The Fed Funds rate stands between 5.25% and 5.5%, matching its highest level since 2001.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
