Bad Bunny is set to star in his first leading role in the film "Porto Rico" alongside Javier Bardem, Viggo Mortensen and Edward Norton.

The feature film, described as "an epic Caribbean western and historical drama," will be René Pérez Joglar's directorial debut. Pérez Joglar, known as Residente, is a 34-time Latin Grammy and Grammy-award winning Puerto Rican rapper and actor who recently starred in "Frank & Louis," which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

Pérez Joglar and Bad Bunny, born Benito Martínez Ocasio, are longtime collaborators and friends. Two of Puerto Rico's biggest stars are now coming together for "Porto Rico," which will tell a story of the island based on true events.

"I have dreamed of making a film about my country since I was a child. Puerto Rico's true history has always been surrounded by controversy," Pérez Joglar said in a news release. "This film is a reaffirmation of who we are — told with the intensity and honesty that our history deserves."

While "Porto Rico" will be Bad Bunny's first lead role, the artist has appeared in several other high-profile films, including Darren Aronofsky's "Caught Stealing," and "Happy Gilmore 2," acting alongside Adam Sandler and Travis Kelce.

The Oscar-winning film director Alejandro González Iñárritu is executive producing the film, which is in pre-production. Its release date has not been set.

The film was co-written by Pérez Joglar and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris, who wrote "Birdman," which was directed by Iñárritu and starred Norton.

Norton, who is producing the film, likened "Porto Rico" to other iconic films that he and Pérez Joglar love like "The Godfather" and "Gangs of New York."

"Everybody knows what a poet of language and rhythm René is," Norton said in the news release. "Now they're going to see what a visual visionary he is as well. And bringing him and Bad Bunny together to tell the true story of Puerto Rico's roots is going to be like a flame finding the stick of dynamite that's been waiting for it."

Pérez Joglar earlier this month congratulated Bad Bunny on social media following his Super Bowl halftime show, sharing multiple images of them together over the years and saying "Orgulloso de ti," which translates to "I'm proud of you."

The two have long been outspoken about Puerto Rico and its rich history. In 2019, they helped lead protests urging then-Gov. Ricardo Rosselló to resign following corruption arrests in his office and his role in a vulgar group chat.

By John Revill and Olivia Le Poidevin

GENEVA, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Two days of peace talks in Geneva between Ukraine and Russia ended on Wednesday without a breakthrough as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he was dissatisfied with the outcome while Washington reported "meaningful progress".

Officials from Moscow and Kyiv said the discussions in Geneva were difficult. At the ‌conclusion, the delegations said they would meet again, without providing a date, while Zelenskiy and the White House suggested discussions could occur soon.

Ukraine has faced sustained pressure from ‌U.S. President Donald Trump to agree to a deal that could mean painful concessions, as Russian forces pound its power grid and slowly advance on the battlefield.

Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said: "As of today, we cannot say that the result is sufficient.

"The military discussed certain issues seriously and substantively. Sensitive political matters, possible compromises and the necessary meeting of leaders have not yet been sufficiently addressed."

He said it was important that European representatives were present in Geneva and described holding a next round of talks later this month as appropriate.

In an interview on YouTube with journalist Piers Morgan, Zelenskiy said that negotiators had moved closer to an agreement on how a ceasefire to end the war would be monitored.

"They're closer to the result that we will have a paper where it will be written all the details, how it can or it ‌has to be monitored after, immediately after ceasefire," he said.

He said ⁠the "painful and difficult" issue of territory could be addressed by a meeting of the two countries' leaders.

In Washington, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said there was "meaningful progress made" with pledges "to continue to work towards a peace deal together".

Leavitt suggested there would be another set of talks soon. But she said ⁠Trump viewed the situation, nearly four years into the war, as "very unfair, not just for Russians and Ukrainians who have lost their lives" but also for U.S. taxpayers who have provided financial support to Ukraine.

In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia's negotiating team would brief President Vladimir Putin on the talks and acknowledged the delegation's leader had called the discussions "difficult".

As the two sides met for a second day with mediation by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Zelenskiy wrote on X that Russia was "trying to drag out negotiations that could already have reached the final stage."

Moments after his statement, ‌the delegations broke off the talks.

DIFFICULT, BUT BUSINESS-LIKE

Russia's chief negotiator, former culture minister Vladimir Medinsky, described the talks as "difficult, but business-like".

Medinsky spoke with the Ukrainians for nearly two hours after formal talks ended, according to a representative of Kyiv's chief negotiator, Rustem Umerov.

A spokesperson for Zelenskiy said the formal part of the talks had addressed territory in Ukraine's east and the fate of the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, both persistent sticking points.

Moscow wants Ukraine to cede the roughly 20% of the eastern region of Donetsk that Russian forces have been unable to conquer - something Kyiv has repeatedly rejected.

Kyiv, meanwhile, wants Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear plant, to be operated by the U.S. and Ukraine, which Russia dismisses as unacceptable.

Tuesday will be the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, which has killed hundreds ‌of thousands, driven millions from their homes and ravaged Ukrainian cities, towns and villages. Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians.

Trump has twice suggested in recent days that Kyiv must make sure a deal is agreed quickly. He told reporters on Monday: "Ukraine better come to the table fast. That's all I'm telling you."

ZELENSKIY: UNFAIR CONCESSIONSIn an interview with the U.S. news outlet Axios, Zelenskiy was quoted as saying that it was "not fair" that Trump kept publicly demanding concessions from ‌Ukraine, not Russia.

Zelenskiy also said any plan requiring Ukraine to give up territory that Russia had not captured in the east would be rejected if put to a referendum.

Kyiv wants strong U.S.-backed security guarantees to prevent future Russian attacks in the event of a peace deal.

The Geneva meeting follows two rounds of U.S.-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi that made no breakthrough.

Both Zelenskiy and Umerov have made a point of repeatedly thanking the U.S. for its mediation in recent weeks.

Zelenskiy has expressed concern that U.S. congressional elections in November could draw Washington's ‌attention away from efforts to end the conflict.

In all, Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine's national territory, including Crimea, seized and annexed in 2014.

It is advancing slowly along the roughly 1,200 km (750-mile) front line; analysts say it has gained about 1.5% of Ukraine since early 2024.

Twenty One Pilots is giving the fans what they want.

The musical duo, which is comprised of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, dropped "Drag Path" on Tuesday, Feb. 17 with an accompanying animated music video.

"Drag Path" was originally an exclusive bonus track on Breach: Digital Remains, which is a limited-edition expansion of their 2025 album Breach. At the time, however, the song was only available for one week.

Since then, the song has found new life on social media — and the duo decided to get back in the studio to record a new, shortened version of the song. Though it was previously unavailable on streaming, the song amassed more than 1.5B views across over 75K creates, according to a press release.

The song also created a trend on social media, where creators would post reflective videos using the term "drag path" to describe memories, objects or moments that have left a lasting emotional mark.

On Instagram, the "Heathens" performers explained their reason for releasing the song.

"We had not wanted to release 'Drag Path' officially because we wanted to respect those who purchased it back when they album was being released, so that's why we've waited. But now we want to release it," Joseph, 37, said.

"What we're gonna do is we're gonna release it with a slightly different edit to it so that those who bought it have a more original version of it," he added. "So the official released version is gonna be a little bit different, structurally."

"Most of it is intact, but I wanted to save something special for those who purchased it originally," he said, adding that they adore the music video with visual by Tobias Gundorff. "We're in a rehearsal space now, working on maybe playing this song live this year. Hopefully you'll like it."

At the end of the video, Dun, 37, quipped that they "finally" like the song — and that's why they decided to release it.

The release of "Drag Path" comes only days ahead of the premiere of their new concert film, titled More Than We Ever Imagined, which opens in theaters on Feb. 26.

According to a release, the film "provides a never-before-seen look inside one of the biggest nights of the band's career as they performed to a sold-out stadium of 65,000 fans in Mexico City."

This month, the band will also embark on a headlining festival run across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. The "Stressed Out" musicians will perform through the summer and wrap in September at Sommo Festival.

Less than 24 hours after Harvey Levin told Sean Hannity that he'd no longer be sharing if and when a note about Nancy Guthrie was sent to TMZ, he's gone against his word.

On Wednesday, Feb. 18, Levin revealed that TMZ has received another note, though this one appears to be more of a ransom note, similar to the initial unverified ransom notes that were sent to various news stations early on in the investigation.

TMZ reports that someone sent a "sophisticated" note with a demand to be paid in cryptocurrency other than bitcoin in an amount that's close to the initial $6 million ransom.

"This email graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn't paid," TMZ reports. The outlet said it would not be sharing any additional details about the email, which has been sent to the FBI.

As far as the public is aware, whomever is sending these notes, whether they be legitimate or not, has not provided the Guthrie family with proof of life.

In a different note sent to TMZ earlier this week, someone claimed to know the identity of the person behind Nancy's disappearance. Whomever sent that note asked for 1 Bitcoin up front for the information and another after an arrest had been made. That note indicated that Nancy had been taken across the border and was in Mexico.

In it's latest update, TMZ claims that law enforcement has contacted authorities in Mexico. On Tuesday, Feb. 17, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said there was no indication that Nancy was taken across the border.

Wes Moore says he wasn&x27;t invited to White House, won&x27;t attend Trump meeting Francesca Chambers, USA TODAYWed, February 18, 2026 at 10:39 PM UTC 0 WASHINGTON — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says he was not invited to and would not attend a working breakfast for governors at the White House this week after President Donald Trump repeatedly insulted him. "No. The president's been very clear on multiple occasions that he does not want to see me, so I'm fine with that," Moore, a Democrat, said in a Feb. 18 interview with USA TODAY.

Wes Moore says he wasn't invited to White House, won't attend Trump meeting

WASHINGTON — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says he was not invited to and would not attend a working breakfast for governors at the White House this week after President Donald Trump repeatedly insulted him.

"No. The president's been very clear on multiple occasions that he does not want to see me, so I'm fine with that," Moore, a Democrat, said in a Feb. 18 interview with USA TODAY.

Trump has singled out Moore for criticism, blaming him for a Potomac sewage spill, assailing his handing of Baltimore's bridge collapse and invoking a controversy over his military record. Moore is up for reelection this year and is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, even though he's said he sees no reason to run.

Trump initially sought to limit the traditionally bipartisan event that's associated with the annual National Governors' Association meeting in Washington to elected Republicans. The bipartisan organization that's led by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, then said it would no longer participate, forcing what appeared to be an about-face by the president.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore sits for a portrait in his office in the Maryland State House in Annapolis, MD, on Friday, June 28, 2024. Moore was sworn in as the 63rd Governor of Maryland on January 18, 2023. He took the oath of office at the Maryland State House in Annapolis, becoming the state's first Black governor and the third in U.S. history. Look back at his life from former Army Captain to governor of Maryland.

Stitt then told governors that Trump would be inviting every member of the organization to the Feb. 20 breakfast. But later the same day Trump said in a social media post that Stitt incorrectly stated his position on the meeting and a separate dinner that's taking place on Feb. 21. Trump said every governor except Democrats Moore and Jared Polis, of Colorado, were invited to the policy breakfast and the White House dinner.

"The invitations were sent to ALL Governors, other than two, who I feel are not worthy of being there," Trump said.

The president said he would not be inviting Polis or the "foul mouthed Governor of Maryland, who fraudulently stated that he received Military medals, A LIE, is doing a terrible job on the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and has allowed Baltimore to continue to be a Crime Disaster."

"I look forward to seeing the Republican Governors, and some of the Democrats Governors who were worthy of being invited, but most of whom won't show up," Trump said in the Feb. 11 post.

Democratic governors previously said they would not attend the dinner or the meeting over Moore and Polis' exclusion from the White House event. Governors were still expected to skip the dinner at the time of the interview with Moore, but it was unclear if they would attend the breakfast.

Moore, 47, serves as vice chair of the NGA. He told USA TODAY he would be participating in other parts of the conference that's taking place in Washington Feb. 19-21. But he said the organization would not take part in White House events if some of its members were excluded.

"We will continue all the traditions of being able to make sure that we're spending time together, getting to know each other Republicans and Democrats and work together. But none of us are interested in attending a reality television show set," he said. "And we also know that if you are excluding individuals part of our organization, then that means you are excluding the organization and the organization as a whole. The NGA will not participate in something that all the governors are not invited to."

As recently as this week, the NGA said every governor had been invited to the policy meeting at the White House that's doubling as a breakfast, with the association again serving as the organizer. But in the interview, Moore indicated that was not the case.

"If all the governors are not invited to, there is no NGA breakfast —that is just the president deciding who he wants to invite and the president can invite whoever he wants, but it will not be a National Governor's Association event," Moore said.

A spokesperson for Polis referred questions about the matter to the White House. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

CHICAGO (AP) — From jokes about his well-known stubbornness to tears grieving the loss of a parent, the adult children of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. gave an emotional tribute Wednesday honoring the legacy of the late civil rights icon, a day after his death.

Jackson died Tuesday at his home in Chicago after battling a rare neurological disorder that affected his ability to move and speak. Standing on the steps outside his longtime Chicago home, five of his children, including U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson, remembered him not only for his decades-long work in civil rights but also for his role as spiritual leader and father.

"Our father is a man who dedicated his life to public service to gain, protect and defend civil rights and human rights to make our nation better, to make the world more just, our people better neighbors with each other," said his youngest son, Yusef Jackson, fighting back tears at times.

The family said details on funeral arrangements for Jackson would be announced at a later time, but services will begin next week, with him lying in repose at the headquarters of the organization he founded, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition in Chicago, which his son Yusef oversees. Services will follow at a church large enough to accommodate expected crowds.

Jackson rose to prominence six decades ago as a protege of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., joining the voting rights march King led from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. King later dispatched Jackson to Chicago to launch Operation Breadbasket, a Southern Christian Leadership Conference effort to pressure companies to hire Black workers.

Jackson was with King on April 4, 1968, when the civil rights leader was slain.

Remembrances have poured in worldwide for Jackson, including flowers left outside the home where large portraits of a smiling Jackson had been placed. But his children said he was a family man first.

"Our father took fatherhood very seriously," his eldest child, Santita Jackson, said. "It was his charge to keep."

His children's reflections were poetic in the style of the late civil rights icon — filled with prayer, tears and a few chuckles, including about disagreements that occur when growing up in a large, lively family.

His eldest son, Jesse Jackson Jr., a former congressman, said his father's funeral services would welcome all, "Democrat, Republican, liberal and conservative, right wing, left wing — because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American."

The family asked only that those attending be respectful.

"If his life becomes a turning point in our national political discourse, amen," he said. "His last breath is not his last breath."

Video shows terrifying moment man tries to snatch child at supermarket

It's every parent's biggest fear. A shocking video shows a man attempting to snatch a child away from her mother at a northern Italian supermarket.

The incident occurred at Esselunga mall in Bergamo on Saturday, Feb. 14, Storyful reported.

Surveillance footage shared by the Italian State Police captured the alleged attacker grabbing the girl before trying to flee, resulting in a violent physical confrontation between the man, the child's parents and other witnesses on the scene.

"The woman's resistance prevented the worst from happening until her father, the security guards, and the bystanders stopped the attacker until the police arrived," police said in the press release translated to English.
