Former Trump casino where stars played goes out with a bang
The former Trump Plaza casino was imploded after falling into such disrepair that chunks of the building began peeling off and crashing to the ground. โI got chills,โ Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said. AdOpened in 1984, when Trump was a real estate developer in his pre-politics days, Trump Plaza was for a time the most successful casino in Atlantic City. AdBut things began to sour for Trump Plaza when Donald Trump opened the nearby Trump Taj Mahal in 1990, with crushing debt loads that led the company to pour most of its resources โ and cash โ into the shiny new hotel and casino. Trump Plaza was the last of four Atlantic City casinos to close in 2014, victims of an oversaturated casino market both in the New Jersey city and in the larger northeast.

A sweep for โSchittโs Creek,โ โSuccessionโ tops Emmy Awards
(The Television Academy and ABC Entertainment via AP)LOS ANGELES โ โSchitt's Creek,โ the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday's Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including โFrasierโ and โModern Familyโ failed to achieve. The awards for Pop TV's โSchitt's Creekโ included best comedy series and trophies for its stars, including Catherine O'Hara and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy. Moments later, his son won the award for comedy writing for โSchitt's Creekโ episode, then shared a directing award and captured the supporting actor comedy trophy. As โSchittโs Creekโ gobbled up comedy awards, that left acclaimed โInsecureโ and its creator Issa Rae empty-handed. But Black stories, Black performances and Black Lives Matter,โ he said, urging Kimmel to shout with him.

Songs written about famous people
In November 2015, Carly Simon revealed to People magazine that the second verse of her 1972 song "You're So Vain" is about former love Warren Beatty, but stayed mum on the men who inspired the other two verses of the song, long the source of rumors and gossip. Before her Beatty revelation, Simon had steadfastly refused to say who she wrote the No. 1 hit song about. While Beatty had long been one of the most popular guesses, others have speculated the song's verses could be about James Taylor. Hide Caption
