Late Night
Did NBC pick the wrong Jimmy? With Jimmy Fallon poised to take over the Tonight Show, The Daily Beast's Tricia Romano argues it's actually the former Man Show star who has become America's consummate host.

Bolshoi Theatre

With an acid attack and now allegations of prostitution, scandal is rocking the famous Bolshoi Theatre. The Daily Beast's Anna Nemtsova speaks with the dancers.

WELCOME BACK

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf returned to Pakistan amid threats on his life on Sunday, after four years of self-imposed exile. He has stated plans to run in the May election. The Karachi airport on Sunday was heavily secured after a death threat was made by the Pakistani Taliban, although about 200 of Musharraf's supporters greeted him upon his arrival. Musharraf, who has been living in London and Dubai, faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, including that he did not provide adequate security to former President Benazir Bhutto when she returned in 2007, but Pakistani authorities granted Musharraf protective bail on Friday. Meanwhile, 17 soldiers were killed and another 34 were injured by a suicide bomber in Waziristan, in the country's northwest.

LUCKY

Chris Christie, check your lottery tickets. A winning Powerball ticket for Saturday night's $338 million drawing was bought in the one and only New Jersey, lottery officials said early Sunday morning. Late ticket sales pushed the jackpot up to $338 million on Saturday, making it the fourth-highest lottery drawing ever. No one has won Powerball since early February, and excitement ran even high this week after no one matched all six numbers in a drawing on Wednesday. With the jackpot at $338, the lump sum option alone is $211 million. Get ready, Garden State.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Pope Francis ushered in Holy Week on Sunday with a mass in St. Peter's Square, joined by 250,000 pilgrims, urging Catholics to be humble and young at heart—and he even shared a story from his own Argentine childhood. The first Jesuit pope—and the first from South America—Francis has already made commitment to the poor a priority since being elected on March 13. The beginning of Holy Week, Palm Sunday mass honors Jesus's return to Jerusalem before being betrayed by Judas, and Francis urged Catholics to remember the hope Jesus's arrival had instilled in the poor and downtrodden. He also spontaneously told a story urging a humble lifestyle from his own childhood, saying his grandmother used to say "children, burial shrouds don't have pockets."
