A long-lost, and controversial, Caravaggio painting discovered in an attic after more than 100 years will go on the block in France on June 27 — with an estimate of $171 million.
The work, “Judith Beheading Holofernes,” will go on display in London, Paris and New York before it’s auctioned off in Toulouse, where the 1599 work was discovered by auctioneer Marc Labarbe in 2014 when he was helping clear out a client’s attic.
But the authenticity of the work has been debated in art circles: Some art historians have cast doubt, while France’s culture minister has classified it as a national treasure.

The Walking Dead may not have the massive hoard of followers that it did in its earliest seasons, but the series shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, the TWD universe may soon be expanding ever further — AMC executives are reportedly developing yet another new installment to the sprawling world of walkers.
According to Deadline, the network's executives confirmed that they are currently pursuing a new installment in the Walking Dead franchise, with COO Ed Carroll confirming to the site that the as-yet-unnamed series is in "active development."
"We're not at a stage where we'll be announcing its plans to premiere, but we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines," Carroll explained. "We feel very good about the development of that series. We're not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there's a healthy appetite for it and we've had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space."

Former teen heartthrob Luke Perry suffered a massive stroke on Wednesday and had to be hospitalized.
The fire department received a 911 call to the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star’s home in Sherman Oaks, California, around 9:40 a.m., according to TMZ.
The incident came the same day that Fox announced it would revive the ‘90s teen drama, though Perry had not signed on to reprise his character, Dylan McKay.
The 52-year-old has said he can’t stand talking about the show because it’s “not relevant to anything I am doing anymore.”
He currently plays Archie Andrews’ dad on the CW’s “Riverdale,” which was shooting recently in LA.

The star's death Monday morning was confirmed by her manager Mitch Clem, People reports.

Dunaway wrote on Instagram: 'She called me Big Brother, and for all intents and purposes I was. I met Lisa when she was fourteen years old, over thirty years ago. We were immediately attached at the hip, true soulmates from minute one.
'For the rest of the days of her life, she was a central part of mine. She was beautiful, obviously, and an immensely talented actor, and a wonderful friend, but more than anything she really did radiate this impossibly bright energy and life.
'Even in her dark moments. And she had plenty of those, especially over the last few years. I'm trying to take comfort in knowing your struggles and pain and grief are at last, and last behind you.'

Jennifer Esposito addressed critics Tuesday following reactions she had received to her Instagram comment, in which she replied to comedian David Spade‘s post featuring her ex-husband, Bradley Cooper, who performed a duet at Sunday’s Oscars with his “A Star Is Born” co-star, Lady Gaga.
Taking to Instagram, the 45-year-old actress posted a video to her feed, captioning the clip, “HA — Front page news!!”
“So many people have been commenting about something that I said, which was like this, ‘Ha!’ That was it. And the way it has spread, and it was towards David Spade’s very outward statement and something about an ex, and I literally laughed at him because he was so bold in what he was saying,” Esposito said. “I thought it was funny and I’m allowed to think something is funny.”
Spade had posted a screengrab of Cooper, 44, and Gaga, 32, performing “Shallow” on social media, captioning the image, “Is there any chance these 2 aren’t f–king,” to which Esposito replied, “Ha.”
“When you come and attack a person for saying, ‘Ha,’ we have so many things going on in our country and in our world that need attention, and I wished that you’d spend even a minute of this insanity of nonsense on things that are really important,” she continued.
Esposito, who split from Cooper in 2007, also stated that she didn’t tune in to Sunday’s Academy Awards.
“I didn’t watch the Oscars, I don’t know what went on, I don’t care what went on, I commented on something that I thought was funny, and someone being bold enough to say what he said,” Esposito explained.
Esposito previously referenced her Instagram comment Tuesday on Twitter.
“So confused. I get off a flight to see a comment I made of ‘HA’ to a joke from @DavidSpade has gone wild!?. Has everyone gone mad? Somehow I’m insulting an X by laughing at a joke someone else made? Pls take your insanity elsewhere,” she wrote.

Move over, Selena Gomez: Pop star Ariana Grandeis now the most-followed woman on the photo-sharing platform Instagram.
The “7 Rings” singer dethroned Gomez, 26, on Monday, Billboard reported. As of Tuesday morning, Grande, 25, had 148,391,669 followers compared to Gomez’s 146,303,811.
Grande’s new title comes after she’s apparently gained more than 13 million new followers in the last four months, according to Billboard.
Previously, Gomez replaced Taylor Swift as the most popular Instagram user with more than 103 million followers back in December 2016.
While Grande is known for her presence on Instagram, using it to connect with her fans, Gomez recently took a break from the social media platform from roughly September to January.
On Sept. 23, Gomez posted a selfie on Instagram, announcing to fans that she planned to take another “social media break.”
“Again. As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given,” she captioned the post. “Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember – negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Obvi,” she wrote at the time.
The following month, a source told Fox News that Gomez was reportedly seeking treatment at an East Coast facility to tackle “emotional issues head-on.”
While both Grande and Gomez have an impressive amount of followers, neither compare to soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, 34, who became the most-followed celebrity Instagram user in October with 144,580,697 followers at the time. Currently, he has 155,966,285.

Lee Radziwill, the iconic New York socialite and younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who died earlier this month at the age of 85, was laid to rest in New York on Monday surrounded by famous friends and family members.
Top names in fashion, including designers Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch, as well as famed editor André Leon Talley, were among the mourners who gathered at the Church of St. Thomas More on the Upper East Side. Director Sofia Coppola, Radziwill’s daughter-in-law Carole Radzwill — a “Real Housewives of New York City” star who was married to Lee’s late son Anthony Radziwill — and niece Caroline Kennedy also attended the service.
A friend of Radziwill’s previously told Page Six that the proceedings were expected to be subdued: “It’s a funeral service, not a memorial. They won’t be doing anything else as she was so private and elegant.” Photographers captured large baskets of flowers being delivered to the church.
Her death “came as a shock,” as a friend previously described it to Page Six. “[Radziwill] was so strong and resilient for so long. We all just hoped she would be with us forever,” the friend said. “She had some health setbacks recently, including hip issues, that slowed her down slightly, but she was still as sharp as a tack.”
