President Trump has long defined himself through photographs. But now that he’s in the White House, he’s learning that they can define him too.
As a business executive and later a reality TV star, Trump used carefully staged photographs to define his brand. The cover photo of “The Art of the Deal,” his best-selling book, showed him looking handsome, confident and rich while posing on top of the world in New York City.

Anyone who follows Mark Hamill on Twitter knows he’s no fan of Donald Trump. The actor has been an outspoken critic of 45 for some time now, channeling the energy he directs against the Galactic Empire in the “Star Wars” movies toward the current administration; his latest verbal attack came after pictures surfaced of Trump speaking to members of the press aboard Air Force one while “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” played in the background.

“#RogueOne? I thought they were just screening Steve Bannon’s home movies,” tweeted Hamill, who has referred to Trump’s cabinet as “a who’s-who of really despicable people” and read aloud some of Trump’s more evil-sounding tweets in the voice of the Joker. The fact that one photo captures...

A snuffling, heavy-footed tyrant manipulated by sinister forces into being a pitiless machine for autocratic cruelty was photographed next to Darth Vader today. The amusing juxtaposition happened aboard Air Force One, where Donald Trump poked his head into the press cabin during a screening of Rogue One, and quick-thinking Afp staff photographer Jim Watson snapped several shots of Trump’s head next to that of Vader’s. The internet was quick to note that this was very funny, or at least the hollow sort of gallows humor that briefly pierces the ever-present shroud of anxiety that these days envelops us all, provoking the mirthless cackling of the damned.

Katie Melua is getting married. The 27-year-old singer is set to wed former World Superbike champion James Toseland - who she has been dating since April 2011 - after he proposed before Christmas, The Sun newspaper reports.

Despite the celebrities, it was the testimony of ordinary people that proved most compelling and disturbing
Hugh Grant, as someone noted rather astutely this week, hasn't been in anything this good for ages. Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into standards in the British media may have been formally sitting since earlier this month, but it was not until this week that the plot of this procedural legal drama twisted, suddenly, into an unmissable blockbuster, played out in as much Technicolor as the crowded confines of court 73 at the royal courts of justice would allow.
It had its moments of drama and at times almost of farce, but this was, in truth, a horror story, dipping into moments of such cruel and terrifying menace that, had the script been pitched to a Hollywood executive, it would have been returned as scarcely plausible.

Credit: Jim Watson/Afp/Getty Images It was not much remarked upon in the fevered run-up to the speech itself, but it happens that President Obama delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday night at the scene of a terrorist attack. On March 1, 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire on the floor of the House of Representatives from the “Ladies Gallery,” wounding five members and moving us one small but insidious step closer to the constrained web of depressing but presumably necessary security that we now take for granted. So it was all the more gratifying to see that what might have been a stunt—the plan to mix up the seating in the House Chamber on a bipartisan basis in the wake of the Tucson shootings—emerged, in fact, as a moving and transformative feature of an event that has lately seemed to outlive its Constitutional purpose, much less its redemptive potential.

Though he's in town to address the United Nations this week, President Barack Obama took some time out of his busy schedule on Monday night to notch another first: He became the first sitting president to appear on the "Late Show With David Letterman."
Serving as the night's only guest, Obama answered questions about his daughters, Afghanistan and the economy, but the instant classic moment of the night came when Letterman quizzed the commander in chief about recent suggestions from former President Jimmy Carter that racism might be behind the intense criticism of his health-care push.
"First of all, I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election,...
