A month after Tory Lanez was charged in her shooting, rapper Megan Thee Stallion (@theestallion) made a shocking allegation about the incident.

Story by @christicarras latimes.com/entertainment-…
GQ named her its rapper of the year.

In an interview with the mag, she alleged that Lanez attempted to bribe the “WAP” hitmaker to stay quiet about the shooting latimes.com/entertainment-…
“[At this point] I’m really scared,” Stallion said, “because this is like right in the middle of all the protesting. Police are just killing everybody for no reason, and I’m thinking, ‘I can’t believe you even think I want to take some money'" latimes.com/entertainment-…
Lanez’s lawyers have denied the allegation.

Americans prize colossal Thanksgiving turkeys — hulking centerpiece beasts that make the dinner table groan.

But not this year. Thanksgiving gatherings will be smaller, and turkeys, too, are getting downsized.

@byandreachang reports: latimes.com/business/story…
The demand for small turkeys affects the entire supply chain as consumers, butchers, meat suppliers, grocers and chefs jostle to buy smaller birds.

In many cases, it’s already too late: The little ones were spoken for long ago.

Some butchers are breaking down oversized turkeys and selling them in parts.

And instead of whole-turkey dinners for large parties, restaurants are offering Thanksgiving takeout meals for two people; some are serving chicken or duck instead. latimes.com/business/story…

In Singapore, thousands of red shirt-wearing public servants in sensible shoes are tasked with roaming shopping centers, parks and crowded open- air food courts to remind people to cover up, space apart and limit groups to five people or fewer. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
It’s a job akin to a professional hall monitor that would require hazard pay were it offered in the U.S., where bouts of violence have erupted over requests to wear a mask. latimes.com/world-nation/s… ImageImage
But, in Singapore, where social responsibility and conformity are buttressed by perhaps the most impressive array of rules in the developed world, the “Red Ants” are treated as another paternalistic fact of life.

The affluent women of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” thrive on petty drama.

But there's one thing that sets them apart from previous franchises.

@MeredithBlake explains latimes.com/entertainment-…
The majority of the cast members are — or once were — members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Religion is central to the drama in a way that is unique within the “Housewives” universe latimes.com/entertainment-…
Salt Lake City provides rich terrain, particularly when it comes to the lives of women who don’t conform to church rules.

“It is really surprising how open they are about Mormonism and how it relates to their lives,” says @Andy.

“Crime-free housing” policies have expanded the power of the police to decide who can and can’t live in cities across the country.

A Times investigation has found the programs have disproportionately affected Black and Latino residents in California.
latimes.com/homeless-housi…
A map of the programs' expansion has left a distinct pattern: As Black people and Latinos moved to the suburbs in search of safer neighborhoods and cheaper housing, crime-free housing policies often came soon after.

The programs approved by cities vary, but are aimed at empowering landlords to evict or exclude tenants who have had brushes with law enforcement. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

For the majority of people sick with COVID-19 in L.A. County, officials cannot determine where they contracted the virus.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Across the United States, fewer than half those with the coronavirus know where they caught it.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
The virus itself hasn’t changed, and there has been little relaxation of the rules.

Interviews conducted with people who have recently tested positive for the coronavirus don’t show any significant shifts in behavior compared with a month ago.
