CELEBRITY REPORT Louis C.K. mocks Parkland students in audio of stand-up set Audio has emerged of Louis C.K. appar ently mocking the students-turned-activists from the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. The sound-only recording was posted Sun day in a since-removed YouTube video that said it was from a Dec. 16 stand-up set at a Levittown, New York, comedy club. Several media outlets captured and posted clips and transcripts of the set. “You’re not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot,” C.K. can be heard saying on the recording. “Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way, and now I gotta listen to you talking?” Parkland parent Fred Guttenberg replied to the C.K. material on Twitter. “My daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting,” Guttenberg said. “My son ran from the bullets. My wife and I deal with loss every day. Why don’t you come to my house and try out your new pathetic jokes?” The most prominent of the student-activ ists from Parkland have not offered com ment. A message seeking comment left at C.K.’s website wasn’t immediately returned. A gunman killed 17 students and staff members at the school on Feb. 14. C.K., 51, temporarily disappeared from public life after acknowledging and apolo gizing for sexual misconduct in November of 2017. He lost a production deal with FX networks and a movie release was canceled. But since August he has been making unannounced appearances, performing new material at East Coast comedy clubs. Ricky Martin and husband welcome baby girl, Lucia Ricky Martin is starting the new year with a new bundle of joy. The Grammy-nominated singer announced the arrival of his daughter with an Instagram post showing off the infant’s tiny hands. Mar tin says the girl is named Lucia. Martin’s post didn’t include any addi tional details, other than that the baby girl is healthy. Martin’s post says his family, which includes husband Jwan Yosef and 10-year-old twin sons, have “fallen in love with Lucia.” The “Living La Vida Loca” singer garnered an Emmy nomination earlier this year for his supporting role in the FX series “The Assas sination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.” Judge denies Kevin Spacey’s request to skip court appearance Former “House of Cards” star Kevin Spacey must appear in a Massachusetts court on accusations that he groped a young man in 2016, a judge ruled on Monday. The 59-year-old Oscar-winning actor had argued he should be excused from attend ing his Jan. 7 arraignment at the Nantucket District Court because his presence would “amplify the negative publicity already generated in connection with this case.” But Judge Thomas Barrett denied Spacey’s request.

You might copy someone you ad mire, but it’s only a temporary thing to help you understand your own identity. Ultimately, you’d rather fail doing some thing that feels like you than succeed in trying to be some one else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ve been known to commu nicate something much more important than what you’re talking about. In fact, today the topic and the words are just a costume that your real mes sage is wearing. GEMINI (May 21-June21). You will spend hours as the Roman stoic philosopher Seneca sug gested, toiling to “make your self remarkable by some talent or another,” all the while know ing that this is just icing on the cake. You are already enough. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re facing familiar territory with all that’s needed to suc ceed, progress is certain. But if you don’t know what’s ahead, you might just be in for some greatness. No courageous move ever happened in the face of certainty. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is quite possible that when your efforts are counted in the fu ture, it will be by an entirely dif ferent system of measurement than is used today. Your best bet will be to tend to the intan gible aspects. For example, how does a thing feel? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ulti mately, everything gets easier when you understand it better. But understanding comes in layers. The first few layers may seem to make things more complicated. Keep learning. You’ll get to a place where it all kicks in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). As the sign of the scales, you are keenly aware of how too much of anything is toxic. Too much health is unhealthy. Too much rest and leisure is exhausting. In all things, balance! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whether or not you enjoy poli tics, you will be dealing in po litical systems today, or at the very least in power dynamics, which are present in all groups whose numbers are greater than two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The tendency to blame yourself for things that aren’t your fault or credit yourself for things that aren’t your doing is universally human. To avoid it, eliminate blame and credit en tirely. Put your head down and work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you are walking around with your heart wide open, your encounters will tend toward the extraordinary and may include a random heartfelt conversation with a stranger. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Watching a child grow is a remarkable and layered experi ence that connects you with your own evolution and with humanity at large. Whatever giving you aim toward a youth will be extremely lucky today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The acceptable effort will be minimal. Show up and smile. Much more than that will be too much. So relax, enjoy and avoid accidentally making promises.
