Julia Roberts has starred in her fair share of rom-coms throughout her acting career, but she revealed there’s a beloved film that she passed on. During an appearance on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the Leave the World Behind star was asked by a fan if there were any roles she regrets passing on. “Well, none that I have regrets about because I feel it’s all kind of destiny,” Roberts responded. “But what have I passed on that went on to be great and wonderful, and I thought it maybe wouldn’t have been as great and wonderful with me? You’ve…
It’s a common fact that you can’t eat sushi while pregnant, but did you also know there are some skincare and makeup ingredients you should avoid too? Retinols, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and chemical sunscreens are all deemed unsafe for pregnant women. Kourtney Kardashian knows about the dos and don’ts all too well, and during her most recent pregnancy with her fourth child, she made it a priority to only use the cleanest cosmetics available. According to Poosh, one of Kardashian’s go-to pregnancy products was the Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation. Beyond creating a flawless base for the rest of her makeup, this dermatologist-recommended formula helps to heal blemishes…
What prompted the idea for the course? As a religion professor, I’ve come to know many students from other countries who identify as Christian. I realized they were puzzled at some of the things Americans often bundled into their faith – things these international Christians didn’t consider relevant to their own religious identity. One issue in particular sparked a question from a South Asian Christian student: Why did American evangelicals seem to have such an affinity for firearms? For example, Pew Research indicates 41% of white evangelicals own a firearm, compared with 30% of people in the U.S. overall. This unsettled the student,…
Jason Momoa’s Aquaman presents the biggest Justice League problem that the new DC Universe will have to try to resolve. Momoa will soon close out the DCEU with December’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, making way for the new DC Universe that is being built by James Gunn and Peter Safran. The DCU has already confirmed that multiple actors will return as their characters; however, the same does not seem to apply for the main players of 2017’s Justice League. Henry Cavill has already been recast as Clark Kent, with David Corenswet playing the hero in Superman: Legacy. That opens up the door for the rest of the Justice…
Kala, known on TikTok as “tunnel girl” or by her username @engineer.everything, said she decided to build the shelter to “challenge” herself. A woman on TikTok has gained notoriety for an unusual home improvement project: digging a tunnel that is 30 feet long and 20 feet deep under her suburban home in the Northeast. Kala, 37, became known as TikTok’s “tunnel girl” after she started documenting her journey of excavating below her house in October 2022. The underground tunnel is intended to be a storm shelter, though she said she primarily took on the project to challenge herself. She enjoys…

Bradley Cooper is weighing on a controversy surrounding his portrayal of legendary conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. When the first photos were released from his upcoming biopic Maestro, some critics zeroed in on the actor’s prosthetic nose and accused the film of being antisemitic. Some used the arguably derogatory term “jewface” to describe the characterization. Talking to CBS Mornings on Tuesday, Cooper was asked about the debate and said he initially considered not using a prosthetic. “I thought, ‘Maybe we don’t need to do it,’” he said. “But it’s all about balance, and, you know, my lips are nothing like Lenny’s, and my chin.…
Publishing rights usually stay with publishers and songwriters, with recorded writs belonging to labels and performers. Over the recent years, firms like Hipgnosis Songs Fund, Primary Wave, and Litmus Music (a catalog rights company backed by private-equity firm Carlyle Group LP) have risen to buy artists’ back catalogs, paying out millions (and in the case of artists like Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Bruce Springsteen, hundreds of millions) to artists and labels to own the rights to their classic songs. After securing the rights, these companies get all the money from royalties, licensing, brand deals and other revenue streams that would generally go to…
Kardashian announced the launch via Instagram, sharing a retro-inspired campaign that featured her in the wild look. “The earth’s temperature is getting hotter and hotter,” Kardashian is heard saying while typing on an old school computer. “The sea levels are rising. The ice sheets are shrinking, and I’m not a scientist, but I do believe everyone can use their skillset to do their part.” Kardashian then stood up, giving the camera a view at the Ultimate Nipple Bra, which she wore under a fitted turtleneck. “That’s why I’m introducing a brand-new bra with a built-in nipple, so no matter how…
