Prince fans can party like it’s 1999 with an Airbnb rental of the Purple Rain house overnight

Prince fans can party like it’s 1999 with an Airbnb rental of the Purple Rain house overnight

MINNEAPOLIS – For a limited time, up to 100 Prince fans visiting the music superstar’s hometown will have a post-party place to enjoy his cultural heritage, a home featured in the film “Purple Rain.” see is.

Although the white, two-story house with brown trim in Minneapolis looks unremarkable from the outside, there’s a lot on the inside that’s got the late icon’s followers swooning over this new limited-time Airbnb rental. Upstairs, a large closet with paisley wallpaper and leopard print on the floor behind glass displays the iconic outfits worn by Prince and keeps other outfits on hand to provide tenants with the most beautiful ones.

“And then what guests can do themselves is actually play around with a selection of really iconic ’80s outfits, looks and styles to kind of tap into their inner rock star,” said Ali Killam, an Airbnb spokesperson.

The rentals are also accessible to non-Diamonds and Pearls fans – just $7 per night per person for up to four guests. The price is based on Prince’s favorite number and a total of 25 nights are available over a seven-week period from October 26th to December 14th.

The Airbnb rentals are a sign of the times – the film’s 40th anniversary. On screen, Prince starred as The Kid, a musician and bandleader with a difficult home life.

The film, along with the hit album of the same name, made Prince a superstar with songs like the title track “Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry.” More hits followed like “1999” and “Little Red Corvette,” and he sold more than 100 million records with a cross-gender, cross-genre mix of rock, funk and soul. He died on April 21, 2016 of an accidental fentanyl overdose at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

The rentals are hosted by Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, two lifelong friends and musical collaborators of Prince’s, on behalf of Airbnb, the late musician’s estate, and global media company Warner Bros. Discovery.

In the home’s basement, guests can sleep in a replica of the child’s bedroom from the film, right down to the lavender pillows on the bed and even a 1980s-style cassette player. There is also a lounge where guests can play guitar, drums or piano. QR codes throughout the house link visitors to comments from the hosts.

“It’s designed to really immerse you in the world of The Kid,” Killam said.

And of course, as a tribute to Prince, his career and his influence, there’s plenty of his signature color purple. There is a large piece of wall art featuring purple bananas, which Killam said is a reference to “Let’s Go Crazy.”

If you would like to Die 4 Prince, you can request a booking online starting October 2nd at 6am Pacific Time and ending October 6th at 11:59pm Pacific Time. Airbnb says a pool of potential guests will randomly select final rental invitations based on fans’ answers about why they want to stay there.

Here’s what you need to know about your spare tire

Here’s what you need to know about your spare tire

A flat tire is always annoying, but a spare tire can help you get back on the road quickly. However, even if you have a spare tire, it may not be operational or safe when needed. Consumer Reports reveals what you need to know before a tire emergency occurs.

According to Consumer Reports, safety is the number one priority when a flat tire occurs. You should pull off the road as far as possible in a safe area.

Next, you’ll want to have a space-saving spare tire, affectionately known as a “doughnut.” It has long since replaced the full-size spare wheel in most passenger cars. If you’re lucky, it might be years before you need one, but it shouldn’t be forgotten.

Your spare tire expires just like your other four tires. You heard right. Replacement tires expire. The last two digits of the DOT number on the sidewall of the donut tire indicate the year the tire was manufactured. If it is more than ten years old, replace it.

Of course, a replacement tire only works if it is properly inflated. Check the pressure and condition of your spare tire every time you check the pressure of your other tires and refill as necessary.

Only 40% of new cars have a spare wheel. Manufacturers remove it to reduce production costs and reduce weight to reduce fuel consumption. So don’t assume you have one.

Instead, you’ll likely be given an air compressor or a can of tire sealant that you can use to repair a damaged tire and take it to a repair shop where it can be repaired or replaced.

Some cars, mostly luxury models, are equipped with run-flat tires that allow you to drive a certain distance, usually 50 miles, at moderate speeds – enough to get you home or to a service center for a replacement. You should not drive around with these tires or a patched tire as it is not a permanent solution.

Another important tip from CR is that no matter the solution to your car’s flat tire, you should learn to use it before you need it. You may need to use it in rain, darkness or other difficult circumstances.

Vice President Harris outlines “orderly and secure” immigration plan, angering Trump in first border stop since his nomination

Vice President Harris outlines “orderly and secure” immigration plan, angering Trump in first border stop since his nomination

DOUGLAS, Ariz. – Vice President Harris made her first appearance at the southern border since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate on Friday, delivering a speech in which she vowed to crack down on illegal immigration while sharply criticizing former President Trump.

“Anyone who crosses our borders unlawfully will be arrested and deported and not allowed to re-enter for five years,” Harris told an enthusiastic crowd in the gymnasium at Cochise County College’s Douglas campus, about two miles from the southern border.

“We will bring tougher criminal charges against repeat offenders and if someone fails to apply for asylum at a legal point of entry and instead crosses our border illegally, they will be denied asylum. However, we understand that many people are desperate to emigrate to the United States. Our system must be orderly and secure.

HARRIS VISITS KEY BORDER STATE AS IMMIGRATION DATA TRIGGER INVESTIGATION: A TIMELINE

Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Harris greets his supporters during a campaign rally at the Cochise College Douglas campus in Douglas, Arizona, on Friday.

Harris, touting her career as the border state’s attorney general, claimed that Trump earlier this year “shaked through” the “strongest border security law we’ve seen in decades” and argued that if it were law today, it would lead to “results “would lead. for the country.

“I promise you that as president of the United States, I will bring it up again and proudly sign it into law,” she said.

Harris also promised to “understand how solutions emerge” and “think outside the box, and I will use common-sense approaches and new techniques to get the job done.”

“Because I know that transnational gangs could come across the border and trade weapons, drugs and people[n’t] “We don’t care who anyone voted for in the last election,” she said.

Harris added: “I will increase support for frontline law enforcement, more staff, more training and more technology, including 100 new inspection systems that can detect fentanyl hidden in vehicles.”

Fentanyl was a common message in Harris’ speech, which she delivered after being introduced by Theresa Guerrero, whose son Jacob was killed by fentanyl poisoning at age 31.

“We will ensure that our ports of entry, including airports and seaports, have additional state-of-the-art technology to detect fentanyl and the chemical tools used to produce it,” Harris said. “I will also double the Justice Department’s resources to extradite and prosecute transnational criminal organizations and cartels.”

Harris added: “The United States is a sovereign nation, and I believe we have a duty to set and enforce rules at our border. And I take this responsibility very seriously. We are also a nation of immigrants. “The United States has been enriched by generations of people who have come from every corner of the world to contribute to our country and become part of the American story.”

MARK CUBAN SPARS WITH RILEY WINS OVER HARRIS’ HANDLE OF THE BORDER CRISIS

Harris Douglas AZ

Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Harris visits the U.S.-Mexico border with John Modlin, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, in Douglas, Arizona, on Friday.

Harris claimed in her speech that Trump has done “nothing” to fix our “broken immigration system” during his four years as president.

“He hasn’t solved the shortage of immigration judges,” Harris said. “He hasn’t solved the shortage of border officials. He has not created any legitimate avenues into our country. “He has done nothing to address an outdated asylum system and has not worked with other governments in our hemisphere to address what is clearly also a regional challenge.”

“He separated families. He has torn infants from their mothers’ arms, put children in cages and tried to remove protections for dreamers. It has made the challenges at the border even worse. And he still is. And he is still stoking the flames of fear.” And let me be clear, that is not the job of a leader. And that is indeed the renunciation of leadership.

Harris signaled that she would find a path to citizenship for “Dreamers,” who she said are “American in every way.”

Harris told the crowd she would work with Democrats and Republicans to solve the border problem and said she opposed the “false choice” between securing the border and “creating a safe, orderly and humane immigration system.”

“We can and we must do both. We have to do both.”

Shortly before the speech, Harris walked across the southern border with two Border Patrol agents who briefed her on “their efforts to combat human traffickers and transnational criminal organizations,” according to the White House.

After that briefing, Harris drove a motorcade to the Raul H. Castro Port of Entry in Douglas, where she was briefed on efforts to stem the flow of fentanyl at the border.

Harris’ speech outlining how she will combat illegal immigration comes as millions of illegal immigrants flooded the southern border during her tenure as vice president, drawing frequent criticism from Trump, Republicans and the Border Patrol union caused.

“After years of not only ignoring the problem but helping to create it, Vice President Kamala is finally heading to the border,” the National Border Patrol Council said in a statement ahead of Harris’ visit. “This is nothing more than her checking the box, but what it really is is a slap in the face to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day, and also a slap in the face to the American public . Where was she?

BORDER DISTRICT REPUBLICANS HARRIS, DEMAND “AN APOLOGY” FOR “PHOTO-OP” CAMPAIGN STOP IN ARIZONA

Fox News Digital reported earlier this year that at least 7.2 million illegal immigrants had entered the United States under President Biden, a number that exceeds the population of 36 states.

Harris faced criticism just hours before her speech after Immigration and Customs Enforcement released data showing that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sex offenses and murder convictions are currently on the loose in the United States

Fox News polls released this week showed Trump with a 3-point lead in Arizona, after Harris had a one-point lead last month.

The 3-point shift in registered voters is largely due to movement among young voters, women and Hispanics.

Polls have also shown that the vast majority of Americans believe the southern border is a “problem” after nearly four years of the Biden-Harris administration, and recent Fox News polls show that Americans favor Trump by more than 10 on the economy percent more trust than Harris.

From passion to profit: OpenAI’s recent restructuring shows that the AI ​​competition is about who has the deepest pockets

From passion to profit: OpenAI’s recent restructuring shows that the AI ​​competition is about who has the deepest pockets

  • This is an excerpt from the Insider Today newsletter.

OpenAI is open to some changes.

The world’s best-known startup is reportedly seeking to reorganize into a for-profit charitable corporation and end control of the company by its nonprofit board.

The process would also include Providing equity capital to CEO Sam Altmanwho currently has no stake in the startup worth $150 billion. Altman could reportedly get a 7% stake, which would be worth about $10.5 billion based on OpenAI’s new valuation.

But wait, there’s more!

The news of the possible restructuring followed Mira Murati, CTO of OpenAI announces her exit from the startup. The Tesla alum spent over six years at OpenAI, including a brief stint as interim CEO during Altman’s failed ouster last November. Employees reportedly responded to the news with a post a “WTF” emoji on Slack.

The New York Times reported on Murati in March expressed concerns to the board about Altman’s leadership style before the fall. However, Murati’s lawyer said at the time that the Times’ reporting about her involvement in Altman’s ouster was “completely false.”

And Murati wasn’t the only board departure announced Wednesday. Barret Zoph, the company’s vice president of research, and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s chief research officer, are also leaving the startup. Altman announced on.

There have been significant changes in OpenAI’s leadership ranks in the nearly year since the board tried to oust Altman. Many of OpenAI’s C-level executives have left. The company is now has undertaken a hiring boom in other areasincluding non-technical roles in legal and advocacy work.

But such is life at OpenAI, which one VC investor described to Business Insider’s Lakshmi Varanasi as “the most fascinating and terrifying company of our time.”

This is a point that even Altman acknowledged to some extent in a memo to employees detailing the departures.

“I’m not saying it’s normal for it to happen so abruptly, of course, but we are not a normal company,” Altman wrote.

The disruption of OpenAI is happening as the AI ​​race comes into focus.

Some of OpenAI’s biggest competitors – Alphabet, Amazon, Meta – also happen to be some of the most valuable companies in the world. And given the high cost of AI development – from hardware to talent – it’s important to have deep pockets.

Therefore, it is no surprise that OpenAI wants to make itself as attractive as possible to potential investors to ensure that money continues to flow. According to Reuters, which broke the news, OpenAI’s new structure would be similar to that of rival startups Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI. (Musk, by the way, was happy to take a swipe at Altman about recent executive departures.)

But considering OpenAI was built on the premise of investors wouldn’t If you influence it, the move will likely still turn heads. Altman, for his part, responded to a question in Congress in 2023 about his lack of equity by saying he was “doing this because I love it.”

Of course, it’s not a crime to want to profit from your work. But OpenAI’s pivot is another example of how what it presents to the public doesn’t always seem to match what it’s trying to do privately.

Ben Affleck and Seraphina shop for Halloween costumes as Jennifer Lopez’s divorce continues

Ben Affleck and Seraphina shop for Halloween costumes as Jennifer Lopez’s divorce continues

Ben Affleck got into the Halloween spirit when he shopped for a Halloween costume with his 15-year-old daughter Seraphina on Friday.

The couple was spotted in casual clothing outside a Spirit Halloween store in Los Angeles, but it’s unclear if they purchased anything from the popular seasonal store.

Page Six contacted Affleck’s rep for comment and did not immediately receive a response.

The 52-year-old “Good Will Hunting” star was seen spending time with his children, which also include 18-year-old Violet and 12-year-old Samuel, throughout the summer while he was going through a divorce from Jennifer Lopez did his own thing in New York.

However, the exes got back together several times in the last month, proving that their divorce was amicable.

For example, on September 14, Affleck and Lopez, 55, met Seraphina and Samuel and Lopez’s 16-year-old twins Emme and Max at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

In a surprising turn of events, an eyewitness exclusively shared that the former couple “held hands and kissed” during their time together.

Less than a week later, the “On the Floor” singer and Oscar winner attended her children’s back-to-school night, where they were reportedly “warm.”

Despite their seemingly positive relationship, the two were photographed arriving at celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser’s office in Los Angeles on Monday.

At the time, an insider confirmed to Page Six that the stars were “still moving forward with the divorce” and were “working out the financial details amicably.”

Regarding her PDA-filled lunch with her kids, the Hollywood source explained, “Divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn’t want to be selfish about it.”

“The children always got along and had a lot of fun together. It makes her happy to see the children happy together. Happy children are their priority.”

The “Hustlers” star filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20 – the anniversary of their second wedding at his luxurious Georgia estate.

The couple tied the knot for the first time when they eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.

Lopez cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split and stated that their official separation date was April 26.

The former couple did not sign a prenup before their wedding in July 2022, meaning they will have to sort through their marital assets and make a joint decision about separating assets and finances.

They are also currently trying to sell their spacious mansion in Beverly Hills, California.

The exes purchased the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home in June 2023 for $60 million and listed it for sale at $68 million.

Although they reportedly accepted a $64 million offer, the alleged deal fell through.

“But why? What’s the point?” Lakewood residents are fed up with yard theft

“But why? What’s the point?” Lakewood residents are fed up with yard theft

LAKEWOOD, Ohio – Police are searching for the person who stole garden items and Little Free Libraries in Lakewood and say they have seen an increase in thefts.

Last month we told you about cleaning up the Little Free Libraries.

Lakewood residents are stunned and frustrated by petty free library thefts

RELATED: Lakewood residents are stunned and frustrated by petty free library thefts

Now they’re targeting garden items, including a bench and a woman’s fairy garden.

According to Danielle Antosz, who owns a fairy garden, a fairy garden is meant to be a whimsical place that inspires curiosity and conveys magical happiness.

“There are just so many bad things happening in the world and something so small that it makes people smile. “The kids like to come and look at it… it makes me happy, like it’s just supposed to bring joy,” Antosz said.

Earlier this week someone decided to get this out of their front yard.

“We had a dinosaur that ate dwarves… and they took that. They took a rabbit with them. I honestly lost track of all the stuff they took, but three or four of the larger items,” Antosz said.

Antosz’s garden used to have several large pieces. Now only small decorations remain. She had a message for the person in charge.

“But why? What’s the point? I hope it was worth it. I hope you stub your toe on everything,” Danielle said.

This isn’t the first theft in Lakewood.

In August, the Little Free Libraries – including Antosz’s – were cleaned up. News 5 spoke with a man whose entire library was stolen. After he replaced them, they returned and took his bench.

“It seems to me like a lot of times perpetrators are walking around, seeing things in people’s yards and just going up and taking them,” said Lakewood Police Capt. Gary Stone.

Stone says they’ve seen an increase in yard thefts recently.

“Some of this seems like theft, where the person can sell some of these things for money at a later date. It can also be young people who dare and do things like that,” said Stone.

The department is increasing patrols and keeping an eye out for people walking around with suspicious items to prevent thefts.

Antosz is still shocked that someone would do something like that.

“Honestly, it broke my heart. I know it’s a small thing, but it’s not. There is no value,” Antosz said.

She posted about the theft on Facebook, to which the community reacted with outrage. People began donating items to bring their enchanted space back to life.

“People have been coming over all week, which makes me really happy,” Antosz said.

She has transformed her garden by installing cameras to protect her garden. She stamped the covers of the books in her Little Free Library and crossed out the barcodes so they couldn’t be resold.

Police say it’s a good idea to conduct surveillance, keep an eye on your garden plots and report any theft to the police.
