When the bill came, it sat on the table for a while; neither of us touched it. Eventually, I picked it up and asked if she wanted to split it, and she said yes immediately. I was caught off guard because she had clearly said beforehand that she wanted to treat me, so I hadn't expected to pay. It's not about the money

A close friend, "Sam," and his girlfriend, "Emily," are doing something truly terrible. She has a lot of student debt to pay off, so they have come up with a plan. She will date and marry someone rich, and he will pay off her student loans, and then she will break up with him to be with Sam after a few years.

When Sheen wanted to meet Carlos Estévez because the major league pitcher shared Sheen's given name, he turned to his connected friend, Tony Todd. When Sheen was in the throes of a crack addiction, fired from his starring role on "Two and a Half Men" and in need of an unwavering voice of encouragement, he turned to his non-judgmental friend Tony Todd.

Rapping over the singer's own classic 2000 single "One Mo'Gin," the often frenetic Rhymes spends several minutes lovingly celebrating both the man and the artist. (Before letting the remainder of the seven-minute track play out to haunting effectiveness.) Whether you're a fan of one artist and/or both, it's the kind of homage that cuts to the beating heart of D'Angelo's singular legacy.

"That stage of life is all about figuring out who you are, which means emotions run high and identity can feel more fragile," said Kristin Anderson, licensed clinical social worker, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy . "Because teens are still developing emotion regulation skills, small misunderstandings can escalate quickly in ways that are less common in adult relationships."

You may be taking on too much responsibility for S and T's relationship dynamics. If a simple request about feeling secure in the place where you're sleeping hurts her or drives a wedge in her marriage, that's largely her responsibility. I don't write this to be callous. But think of what you're actually asking: You don't want to be filmed while you sleep. This is not unreasonable in the least.

As I've recently given up alcohol, I'm finding this even more frustrating as I feel I'm essentially paying for her expensive tastes

I have been in recovery for alcohol addiction for almost 31 years. Needless to say, my life is wonderful and so good compared with those years when I was active in my addiction. Recently I was with someone who knew me before recovery. In a room with people who really didn't know me very well, she told the story about how I was drunk, in a blackout and stole something from someone.

I consider them all my best friends even though I have friends in my life that I see more regularly, she wrote, adding that she felt foolish, childish, to be so upset, especially given her vintage.

Loosely inspired by Victor's own experiences, the film sees her take on the role of Agnes, an East Coast English professor who, after a shock sexual assault, begins to quietly unspool. It's a story we know well in the post-MeToo era, but Sorry, Baby is a sharp reinterpretation of the typical trauma plot: there is no violence, no gratuity, no moralising and no revenge. Instead, it's more about the strange, slippery nature of trauma, and the mundane, often unsatisfying, ways we have to stitch ourselves back together.

Until recently, my best friend, Josh, couldn't name a single Disney ride. Meanwhile, I've visited nearly every park worldwide and subscribe to Disney blogs. When a last-minute work trip sent him to Asia, he decided to take an extra week of vacation. Since his wife couldn't get the time off, he asked me to join him for our first guys' trip in a decade.

For decades, Moncler has been associated with winter and puffer jackets, but I have always felt that Moncler is about something deeper: love and a sense of togetherness. These values have shaped everything we've done for over 70 years. Across every product and every campaign, there runs a consistent thread of emotion and human connection. Through their story of friendship, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro embody everything Moncler truly stands for: affection, warmth, and the belief that we are all better and warmer together.

As a lifelong proponent of close friends and tight circles, I saw this as my opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and meet new people, whether that was in my Shakespeare class or at random cafés around the city. I'd lived in the Midwestern suburbs my whole life before moving to Syracuse (a place that didn't feel much different) for school. So, in London, I was looking forward to making friends in a new kind of cityscape.

On the small screen, Wood specialises in vulnerability the kind of characters who survive life despite having a layer of skin missing. You watch in the nail-biting hope that their courage will be enough to see them through and that the people they meet will be kind. It makes sense that Film Club, Wood's first foray into writing (with Ralph Davis), is built round another variation on this theme.

The clubs are strict they have security guards, and apparently everyone expects you to wear high heels and tiny dresses, neither of which are really my style. On two occasions, my friends and their tiny dresses were approved by the bouncer, but my mom jeans and I were not. I was embarrassed, but the fact that my friends decided not to go in made me feel a lot better.

The minute Colin Farrell sat down, I knew I was going to like him. The best way I can put this is he looks like a star and he walks like a star, but when Colin opens his mouth to talk, the Hollywood falls off him. That suave celebrity you see in movies and on the red carpet? In reality, he is a darling.

When I showed the photo to my friend, her reaction left me speechless. She practically threw the phone down and said, What an ugly family! Your mother is ugly and fat, and your father is ugly, too! She continued with more of the same. Other than that, she's a kind and giving friend. I can't get over what she said because I know I'm ugly and I hate being so. But if we were so offensive, why would she be friends with me?

Fortunately, the job didn't affect their friendship. The actors actually moved in together as Overstreet was going on the "crazy Glee ride," Powell said, adding that it was "wild" to see one of his "best friends in the world" step into such a massive spotlight. "Because it was also, like, the biggest show in the world. I don't think a lot of people remember that."

Many lifelong alliances begin with a period of mild intimidation, and so it was with my friendship with Nichola. We were 18, in the first year at university, and shared a few French classes. I didn't know her name, had never heard her speak in English but, with her voluminous curls and friendly, curious stare, she stood out. I assumed she would be too cool to hang around with someone like me.

You're bang-on, lady, and in more ways than one. Neither the play nor Scott Ellis's yuks-forward revival starring Bobby Cannavale, Neil Patrick Harris, and James Corden really has much to do with the subject of its title. Reza herself knew as much: Though the new Broadway artwork does away with them, there's a contemptuous little pair of air quotes in the show's name as written.

"I didn't have very good insurance, and I was worried about the cost," Romano, now 29, tells TODAY.com.

The Compatriots, out September 16 on VOD, is an affable comedy about a serious subject. Closeted high school student Javi (Rafael Silva) is feeling good after pitching a no-hitter, but when he kisses his teammate, Hunter (Denis Shepherd), at the afterparty, things get awkward between these best friends. Five years later, the guys reconnect when Javi has another uncomfortable issue-ICE has raided his workplace and Javi is hiding because he is undocumented.

Gen Z is facing a dire labor market-and it's forced young professionals on the job hunt to stealthily promote their resumes with boxes of donuts, or to take up waitressing gigs at conferences just to get a foot in the door. But Suzy Welch, professor of management practice at New York University, believes the key to success is a lot simpler than that.

The grasses have now dried and turned golden, the air filled with the scents of fall. Eszter stops, "A moose!" Down in the willows along the creek, a single moose munches on the plants. We are far enough away to pleasantly observe the stoic creature in its home, a lovely spot in a high meadow tucked between mountains with no one else around except for us.

I've been good friends with composer Morten Lauridsen for seven years now. For those of you unfamiliar with Lauridsen, he is a National Medal of Arts recipient and the most frequently performed American choral composer in modern history. So in the choral world, he's a legend. I just returned yesterday from a visit with Skip (the name he goes by with friends) at his home on San Juan Island. He is a kind and generous soul, and such a treasure to spend time with.
