JAMES FRANCO<\/strong>. Accusers speak out on GMA. \u201cPlease just apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n RIP<\/strong>. Science fiction icon Ursula K Le Guin has died<\/a>: \u2018Le Guin\u2019s death on Monday at the age of 88 was\u00a0announced by her family on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday. Her publisher, Gollancz, said she had been in poor health in recent months, although her son Theo Downes-Le Guin\u00a0told Reuters<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cher mind was as sharp as a tack until the last moment\u201d. Her death was mourned by fellow authors and fans including Neil Gaiman, Stephen King and China Mi\u00e9ville, who described her as \u201ca colossus of literature, a radical, a trailblazer\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n LARRY NASSAR<\/strong>. USA gymnastics sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sex crimes against more than 150 women<\/a>.<\/p>\n ZHONG ZHONG AND HUA HUA<\/strong>. The first cloned monkeys<\/a>. \u201cThe female<\/a> long-tailed macaques represent a technical milestone. It should make it possible to create customisable and genetically uniform populations of monkeys, which could speed up treatments for diseases such as Parkinson\u2019s, Alzheimer\u2019s and cancer. But the breakthrough will inevitably raise fears that human cloning is closer than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n DANCING WITH THE HYPOCRITES<\/strong>. Caitlyn Jenner being courted for ABC\u2019s Dancing with the Stars<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n GOING DEEP<\/strong>. Scientists capture deepest fish on camera<\/a>: \u201cA team of Japanese scientists set a record catching the deepest-dwelling fish on camera<\/a> more than 26,000 feet below the surface. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), filmed a snailfish in late August in the Marianas Trench \u2014 the deepest zone of the Pacific Ocean \u2014 at 26,830 feet below the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n WEST HOLLYWOOD<\/strong>. Historic preservation commission endorses development incorporating historic Factory gay nightclub<\/a>: \u201cTo accommodate that paseo, the Factory building, which sits on an east-west axis between Robertson and La Peer, will be dismantled and rebuilt on a different portion of the site. As it is rebuilt, the building will also be repositioned on a north-south axis along Robertson. Plans call<\/a> for the 240-feet long Factory building to be shortened by about 100 feet when it is reassembled. The green paint currently covering the windows will be scrapped off, so the retail shops in the reassembled building will have lots of natural light.\u201d<\/p>\n HONEST TRAILER OF THE DAY<\/strong>. Get Out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n COVER OF THE DAY<\/strong>. \u201cVideo Killed the Radio Star\u201d. \u201cHere\u2019s my take on the Buggles\u2019 1979 hit, \u2018Video Killed the Radio Star\u2019, using NOTHING but the fantastic on-board sounds of GarageBand for iOS10: so unbelievably powerful\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong>.
