Keanu Reeves  is already offering a sterling review of the planned new "Matrix." The actor is set to return as Neo  in "Matrix 4,"  which follows 2003's "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions."

Now, in response to the nationwide protests and conversation surrounding racial inequality, people have been  tearing down statues of Columbus  to bring awareness to the cruelty he b...

Part of the reason   first lady Melania Trump   delayed her move from New York City to the White House in 2017 was because she was renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Donald Trump, according to a book out next week   by a Washington Post reporter . Author Mary Jordan cites sources close to Trump as saying her intent in doing so was to "amend her financial agreement with Trump -- what Melania referred to as 'taking care of Barron.' " The book, titled, "The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump," is based on more than a hundred interviews,  according to the Post . According to the Post , the book said the first lady needed time to cool off after the President's alleged sexual indiscretions and Jordan writes that three people close to Trump say that this new prenuptial agreement ensured that Barron would not be shut out of the family business. 'Free, Melania' offers new details about the life ...
