Former President Donald Trump seemed to fall asleep a few times during his court appearance on the first day of his hush money trial in Manhattan.
“Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago,” Maggie Haberman, a reporter for The New York Times, wrote in the paper.
Haberman later said that Trump glared at her in the courtroom after she reported he had fallen asleep during the trial.
“After the thirty-some jurors remaining file out of the room for a brief afternoon break, Trump rises,” the Law360 reporter Frank Runyeon mentioned in the press pool report. “After the jurors leave the courtroom, he stares over at Da Alvin Bragg. Then Trump turns his eyes to the press pool.”
“As he exits, he glares at New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman for several seconds as he walks out,” Runyeon wrote.

Update: Jury selection has ended for the day in Donald Trump’s hush money trial, with 11 people so far having gone through an extensive questionnaire. A total of 32 potential jurors were left in the courtroom.
After the prospective jurors left the courtroom, Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche requested that his client be excused from the proceedings on April 25. That’s the day that the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Trump’s claims of immunity from prosecution.
But Merchan rejected the request. “Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there. But a trial in New York Supreme Court … is also a big deal,” he said, per a pool report. “I will see him here next week.”
The trial will be dark on Wednesdays, when Merchan has other court duties. But he has not ruled out...

The Manhattan criminal trial against several of Donald Trump’s companies was interrupted Tuesday after the prosecution’s first witness — Trump organization controller Jeffrey McConney — tested positive for Covid-19. McConney, who took the stand Monday afternoon sans mask, was repeatedly gripped by coughing fits during his testimony; his positive test will put the trial on hold until next week.
The denouement of McConney’s apparent Covid diagnosis and subsequent trial trial turmoil unfolded on Twitter shortly after 2 p.m. Reporter Marta Dhanis tweeted: “Trump Org Trial: Witness Jeffrey McConey has tested positive for Covid.

Susan Lucci on The New York Times bestsellers list
"All My Life" is #15 this week among hardcover nonfiction books, down from #6 last week.
Give 'Em Hill: Daytime dramageddon
"Really? The Chew? What the Hello-Kitty is that? A talk show a la The View, hosted by Chewbacca? Is it sponsored by Skoal? Does it have something to do with excessive sneezing?"
Frank Runyeon "sad" about the All My Children cancellation
"It's always sad because I have a lot of friends that have been working in day time ever since I was."
More Latino TV? Ugly Betty showrunner Silvio Horta hopes so
"Look, I think there are 50 million Latinos in the U.S. To have more Latino faces and more Latinos working in the industry would seem not just good for diversity, it seems like good business. Personally, I’d rather see accurate and well-done portrayals, and a really thought-out process to create an infrastructure for hiring.

Although the tagline for Sudden Death reads, "Don't mess with this Dirty Harriet," I practically had to be hit over the head with a user comment on IMDb before I could make the connection.
Valerie (Denise Coward), the protagonist of this movie, is actually not a hard-nosed city cop like Mr. Eastwood's most famous counterpart; rather she's far more akin to his revenge seeking nemesis played by Sondra Locke in Sudden Impact (again, how lame is it that I didn't make this connection? The word Sudden should have been my first clue). And in some respects she's an awesome female companion to Robert Forster's angst ridden vigilante in, you guessed it, Vigilante.
