Queen Elizabeth II’s son spent much of August and September avoiding the civil lawsuit in which Virginia Giuffre says she was trafficked for sex with him aged 17. He accepted he had been served in the case in mid-September and was given a deadline of October 29 to respond. This week a judge ordered that his lawyers could keep some sections of their imminent court filing a secret. Andrew’s team has argued Giuffre cannot bring the case against him due to the terms of a settlement agreement she signed with the late financier and convicted sex offender Epstein in 2009....

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake seems as though it will be faithful to the 2003 original. It features the characters, gameplay, and story of the original, but with a significant visual upgrade. The developers have used new motion capture technology to give a facelift to the cut-scenes and animations, but generally it seems as though fans can expect an experience that’s about the same as the original release....

Karlen says, “Ken Kesey had that line: ‘The trouble with superheroes is what to do between phone booths.’ I think that Prince had that problem.” That revelation is just one of many about the star in Karlen’s newly published book This Thing Called Life: Prince’s Odyssey On + Off the Record (St. Martin’s Press). A former Newsweek editor, the Minneapolis-based Karlen is one of the few journalists who had access to the notoriously private and eccentric musician, penning three cover stories about him for Rolling Stone between 1985 and 1990....

RELATED: The Legend Of Zelda: 10 Best Dungeons Ranked All the same, while The Legend of Zelda might not actually star Princess Zelda, her many incarnations are always treated with great respect and often stand out as the franchise’s most interesting characters.

Gujarat Fortune Giants’ raiders helped their team build an early lead through the bonus points. However, Dabang Delhi K.C.’s defenders and the efforts of Naveen Kumar brought Delhi back in the game.

Manjeet and Pankaj Mohite did a commendable job for Pune, collecting 11 and 8 points respectively. Ajith V. Kumar left his fans stunned after garnering a staggering 18 points for his squad.

Manjeet started for Pune and was sent off the mat by M....

While the Pune team has had trouble converting their close brushes with victory into concrete wins, the Bengal team has also found it difficult to find their footing in the tournament.

The auctions, however, might have brought the little master face to face with the demons of nervous nineties all over again.
