FILM-SUNDANCE-TAYLOR SWIFT – The normally private Taylor Swift premiered an intimate documentary Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival in which the pop star discloses a past eating disorder, chronicles her inner battle over speaking forthrightly about politics and says her victorious 2017 sexual assault court case was a dramatic turning point in her life. By AP Film Writer Jake Coyle. SENT: 650 words, photos, video.
MUSIC-GRAMMYWATCH-SPOTIFY – Lizzo screamed at the top of her lungs, Lil Nas X brought out Billy Ray Cyrus for “Old Town Road” and Billie Eilish sang softly with her brother-turned-producer assisting on keys. The three artists — the acts with the most nods at Sunday’s Grammy Awards — celebrated their nominations for best new artist Thursday night at Spotify’s annual event honoring breakthrough performers.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT-WEINSTEIN - It's the defense's go-to question at Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial: If the once-revered Hollywood mogul is a revolting sexual predator, as prosecutors and scores of women allege, why did some of his accusers keep interacting with him for years after their alleged assaults? Prosecutors hope to give jurors some answers and neutralize that line of questioning before too long with the help of Dr. Barbara Ziv, a forensic psychiatrist who testified about the same issues at the 2018 retrial that ended in Bill Cosby’s conviction on charges he drugged and molested a woman years earlier. By Tom Hays and Michael R. Sisak. SENT: 930 words, photos.
MUSIC-AEROSMITH- Aerosmith is the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year. Foo Fighters, H.E.R., John Legend, John Mayer, Alice Cooper, Jonas Brothers, Gary Clark Jr. and Yola are among the performers set to pay tribute. By Beth Harris. UPCOMING: 700 words, photos.
