Miley Cyrus said in an interview that she is working on an album of Metallica covers. The singer revealed the news during a conversation with fashion designer Rick Owens for Interview magazine.

Said Cyrus, “We’ve been working on a Metallica cover album, and I’m here working on that. We’re so lucky to be able to continue to work on our art during all of this. At first, it felt uninspiring, and now I’ve been totally ignited.” Cyrus has covered Metallica material in the past, most notably performing their 1991 hit “Nothing Else Matters.” You can watch the singer’s rendition of the tune at the 2019 Glastonbury festival in the video link: here.

In addition to her Metallica covers album, the singer is reportedly prepping an LP of original material. Her latest single “Midnight Sky” was released in August.

Transcripts in Ghislaine Maxwell Criminal Case Expected To Be Released This Week

tmpadf60079-49df-4354-a747-566156610ffa-jpg

On Tuesday, a judge ordered the release of a deposition that British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell gave in 2016 related to her dealings with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, which she has fought to keep under wraps. The documents came from a civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Maxwell of aiding Epstein in grooming and trafficking her for sex with him and other wealthy, powerful men.

U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska earlier on Tuesday ordered an immediate unsealing of the April 2016 deposition, but pushed back the timetable after Maxwell’s lawyers objected. The judge said lawyers for Maxwell and Giuffre should in the meantime work out any disputes. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected what it called Maxwell’s “meritless” arguments that her interests outweighed the presumption that the public had a right to see her deposition..

Maxwell, 58, has pleaded not guilty to helping Epstein recruit and groom underage girls for sex in the mid-1990s, and not guilty to perjury for denying her involvement under oath. She is being held in a Brooklyn jail, and if convicted could face 35 years in prison. Her trial is scheduled for next July.

Juror In Breonna Taylor Case Says Grand Jury Was Not Advised Of Homicide Charges

tmp08466b9c-b06e-4c52-827f-6670860aa76f-jpg

On Tuesday, an anonymous grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case revealed that jurors were not advised about possible homicide charges against the officers involved in her shooting, and did not agree her killing was justified.

The juror, identified as “Anonymous Grand Juror No.1,” issued a statement saying that the only charge presented to the grand jury in the case was that of wanton endangerment laid against former Louisville police Detective Brett Hankison for bullets fired into her neighbor’s apartment. The anonymous juror added that self-defense and justification laws were also not explained to the grand jury.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron previously announced that the grand jury “agreed” the other two officers involved in the shooting — Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove — were justified in returning fire after Taylor’s boyfriend fired a shot at them. He also told reporters that the team walked the grand jury “through every homicide offense” and the jury was “ultimately the one that made the decision about indicting Detective Hankison for wanton endangerment.”

Taylor was shot and killed by police in a raid on her Louisville apartment in March and Hankison last month pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him by the grand jury. The other officers were not indicted.
