Midway through her set, Rodrigo revealed she would be bringing British icon Lily Allen to the stage. Allen, who last released music in 2018, joked after their performance, that maybe she was not done with music after all. Their duet was slightly different from the other ones taking place over the weekend and for a very important reason.

And at least a few observers include an industry economist in this lineup: David Lereah, the former chief forecaster for the National Association of Realtors, whose irrational exuberance for real estate has led to some measure of ridicule. Let me confess at the start: I spoke with Lereah frequently during the boom, and I always found him to be a smart, thoughtful observer. Sure, his assessment of the real estate market was consistently upbeat, but that’s hardly surprising given that he served as chief spokesman for a trade organization that believes it’s always a good time to buy a home....

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Milos Raonic’s machine-like advance through the Australian Open hit a brief glitch against Gilles Simon but the Canadian re-booted to delete the dogged Frenchman 6-2 7-6(5) 3-6 6-3 and reach the fourth round on Saturday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - Vanderbilt University football player Brandon Vandenburg’s retrial begins with jury selection on Wednesday, nearly a year after his conviction for the June 2013 rape of an unconscious female student was thrown out. Vandenburg and former teammate Cory Batey, two of four Vanderbilt football players charged with counts of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery, were found guilty in January 2015. But the judge declared a mistrial and the convictions were thrown out because one of the jurors had failed to disclose that he himself had been a victim of rape....

The Raptors trailed by as many as 11 points in the first half and shot just 34 percent overall, including 2 of 17 from 3-point range, before the break, but they used a 27-12 run in the third to pull away and never looked back. Leonard’s 36 points were a postseason career high. While Toronto didn’t get quite the overall team performance it received in Game 3 — Danny Green only made one basket in Game 4 — Serge Ibaka recorded his most efficient playoff game to date, scoring 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting in just 21 minutes....

Welles won the award in 1942, making it exempt from the Academy’s rule. But in 1988, his daughter Beatrice informed the Academy that the original statue had been lost prior to Welles’s death three years earlier. She asked for, and received, a replacement, under the condition that she could never sell it. But then in 1994, the original suddenly appeared on the auction market. The seller was a cinematographer friend of the late filmmaker, who claimed that Welles gave it to him as a gift....
Madrid suffer Ronaldo blow Rashford burst onto the scene last season with back-to-back doubles in his Europa League and Premier League debuts, while he also scored on his England bow. However, the 19-year-old has found minutes harder to come by under Mourinho, who has preferred the experience and physicality of veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Rashford has scored seven goals in 35 appearances in all competitions and the England international said Mourinho has played a key role in his development at Old Trafford....
The Portuguese knows more than most about the scrutiny and pressure that comes with the United manager’s job, himself seen off by an awful stretch this time last year that provided neither style nor substance. For Solskjaer, Mourinho’s return will be followed by a trip to Manchester City, and the twin fixtures looked a daunting dual threat to a team and manager who before the Tottenham game were winless in three across all competitions....
