I want to grow brands that I'm passionate about, and dirty soda has always been a part of my life. It wasn't just this viral moment that people who watch Secret Lives saw. It was something that's more sustainable.

In 2009, Tina Brown claims the artist has had a series of steamy same sex affairs which her brother, Bobby Brown, Houston's husband, was allegedly aware of. She told the National Enquirer, 'It's no secret. I've seen her with a woman a couple of times. They were walking around without shirts on when I came in the house.'

Grande appears to be teasing a new album ahead of her Eternal Sunshine tour this summer. Recent posts show her in the studio, suggesting new music is on the way.

My parents fell in love with the Islamic Revolution when I was a baby and welcomed life under its strict religious rules. The Ayatollah's face stared down from the walls at home, a daily reminder of what was expected and what was forbidden. This included being gay, but by my teenage years I knew I was different from my peers, and began hiding my sexuality from my parents and the world outside.

Spears was arrested around 9:30 p.m. in Ventura County and released on Thursday, sheriff's office records show. She has a May 4 court date scheduled. Spears, 44, born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, was a teen pop phenomenon who became a defining superstar of the '90s and 2000s.

It is Moby at the peak of his powers but there's one track that stands especially tall. It's Harbour and it features a sublime vocal from Sinéad O'Connor. The song, stately and seductive, is yet another reminder of the rare gifts of the late singer.

Brendan Carr's FCC is still twisting its panties over the existence of talk shows (don't worry, Netflix wants to make them all video-only "podcasts"). This time, Carr's freak-out was an attempt to stretch the FCC's equal-time rules to apply to talk shows - both late night and daytime. Will we see Trump in the Spirit Tunnel in 2028? Only time will tell.

burdened by loneliness, depression, and the incessant needs of others, pours herself a stiff drink and steps up to the noose she's hung from the rafters of her airy farmhouse. Then the phone rings: her ungrateful brother, making demands. She tries again-another ring, another request, this time from a friend. She plays the piano, doesn't she? Will she join a group of fellow-amateurs for a charity gig? Twice thwarted, Beth sighs, says yes, and gets on with the business of living.

Whether it's fueling our time on the treadmill, getting us through yet another errand, or helping us dance our cares away on a Friday night, music is a huge part of our lives. And in 2025, we've seen an embarrassment of riches in the music department. To honor that, we're nominating musicians in three star-studded categories: Breakout Musical Artist, Anthem, and Music Video.

She embraced the corpcore aesthetic by wearing a classic gray striped blazer with fitted lapels and pointed pockets, looking professional as always. But in true Carrie fashion, she added a dainty touch with a baby pink button-up blouse underneath, featuring a curved V-neck and symmetrical hem, courtesy of a silky ribbon. She paired her blazer with a skirt that had a black-and-gray flecked pattern. Of course, SJP didn't step out without some statement accessories.

Madonna, Confessions Tour 2006 at Wembley Arena in London. It was the first concert I had ever went to on my own, as the tickets even back then were so expensive and none of my friends wanted to go. Before it started I went to a shoddy, back street pub nearby and had three pints of beer to build up some Dutch courage.

Cyndi Lauper is selling her old clothes at a two-day NYC event, with proceeds going to charity. "Cyndi Lauper's Closet Clean Out" will feature "a treasure trove of designer gems, stage and street wear, and many new or unworn pieces pulled straight from Cyndi's closet," and net proceeds will go to the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation, which supports efforts that advance women's rights and health.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

I'm going to be 79 years old. You know, my mother only lived to be 82 and suddenly, chronology has a different meaning,

The gays' favorite season - awards - continued last night as the biggest names in music gathered at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. It was a big evening for politics, pop girls, and performances as The Recording Academy honored the best tunes of the past year, presided over by Trevor Noah, who hosted the grand event for the sixth and final time.

"I've always believed that music is about connection and emotional truth. What interested me here was the idea of using my voice and new tools in service of expression, not instead of it. This project respects the artist's voice, the artist's choices, and the artist's ownership. I grew up watching my parents create wonderful dreams that were owned by other people. ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner. That matters."
