“Mean Girls,” the musical, the movie, works fairly well. I know, I know. Curb your enthusiasm there, bub. But that's how it is. Like “The Color Purple,” another movie musical now in theaters, the movie's performers elevate largely forgettable songs working hard to convince the source material it'd make a terrific song-and-dance vehicle. In the case of “Mean Girls,” die-hard admirers of the clique-bait source material, a generation old now, will get their fairly good time. Tina Fey's 2004 screenplay started from a 2002 nonfiction book, “Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cli…

Francis' remarks are likely to antagonise pro-LGBT+ groups, since surrogacy is often used by gay or lesbian partners who want to have children, and follow his landmark decision to allow priests to bless same-sex couples. “I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situati…

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In the biggest shakeup at the Republican Party of Florida in more than a decade, board members voted Monday to oust party chair Christian Ziegler, who's been accused of raping a woman that he and his wife had previously engaged in a three-way sexual encounter.
