Gigi Hadid is incredibly adept at pulling off attention-grabbing ensembles during glamorous events and in her everyday fashion choices. Whether she’s gracing a red carpet or strolling through the city streets, she consistently embodies the epitome of high-end fashion.

On Wednesday, May 8, the 29-year-old wealthy American supermodel showcased one of her trademark off-duty looks as she made her way to CBS Studios for an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Despite opting for a more laid-back attire, I admire how Gigi exuded effortless style, embracing quiet luxury while infusing a fresh charm into classic spring essentials.

Zendaya made a spectacular comeback to the Met Gala on Monday! Following a five-year absence, Zendaya returned as a co-chair for the 2024 Met Gala, joining Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny. Before this, her last Met Gala appearance was in 2019 when she dazzled the crowd in her magical Tommy Hilfiger Cinderella ball gown.
The 27-year-old actress delivered more than I could have imagined at the 2024 Met Gala, showcasing not one or two but three exquisite outfits appropriate for a co-chair. Her latest outing came following a whirlwind press tour for Challengers, where she once again demonstrated her mastery of method dressing by donning chic tennis-inspired looks.
In true Zendaya and, of course, Law Roach fashion, they did not let fans, including me, down.

Following her separation from Gerard Piqué in 2022, Shakira has consistently showcased her commanding presence through her fashion choices, exuding confidence wherever she appears.
During fashion’s biggest night on Monday, May 6, she exhibited her flair for making a striking entrance as she joined other prominent figures, including Brie Larson, Kaia Gerber, Elle Fanning, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and more, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Kim Kardashian outdid herself with her attire at the 2024 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night, May 6. It marked her 11th appearance at the Met steps, and she consistently stands out with her fashion choices.
The 43-year-old wealthy reality star isn’t afraid to take fashion risks, and once again, she stole the spotlight at the event celebrating the Costume Institute’s exhibition titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Her entrance is jaw-dropping, thanks to her custom Maison Margiela couture ensemble, designed by the French luxury fashion house’s creative director, John Galliano. It perfectly adhered to the evening’s theme, “The Garden of Time.”
The dress was an absolute knockout.

Please leave it to Jennifer Lopez to interpret a theme without going overboard. As one of the evening’s most anticipated guests, the 54-year-old multihyphenate did not fail to serve with her breathtaking appearance at the 2024 Met Gala.
Having been named co-chair of the event this year and attending the renowned gala for the 14th time, J.Lo clearly understood the assignment. Adorned with millions of glimmering embellishments, her see-through Schiaparelli gown left the crowd in awe. But although she looked stunning, I was a little let down because I felt like I had seen this before.
Considering she was a co-chair of the event, her look felt somewhat underwhelming. Although it reflected her signature style, the familiarity of her choice in see-through dresses didn’t deliver the wow factor expected at such a gala. I hoped for something more innovative that would truly captivate us.

Elle Fanning is best known for portraying Sleeping Beauty in the 2014 film Maleficent and its 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. So, I am unsurprised that she chose to channel her iconic character, Aurora, on the red carpet at the 2024 Met Gala.
On Monday, May 6, Elle Fanning was among the many celebrities who attended the event, which raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits.

The dress code for the night was “The Garden of Time,” inspired by the art museum’s new exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” And I think the 26-year-old American actress captured the theme flawlessly, exuding romance and fantasy with her attire.

Amidst a flurry of floral frocks adorning the red carpet, Kaia Gerber took a bold departure, opting for a sleek and sophisticated ensemble as she attended the 2024 Met Gala on Monday, May 6, in New York City.
Among the stars gracing the glitzy affair were A-list celebrities such as Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Brie Larson, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and many more, each adding their unique flair to the night’s festivities.
Inspired by this year’s Costume Institute theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” Kaia made her mark on the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps with an elegant attire that some might argue deviated from the event’s “Garden of Time” dress code.

The Met Gala isn’t just about the star-studded guest list; it’s a celebration of haute couture and a theme that captivates all.
This year, the focus is on honoring the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, perfectly complemented by the dress code, “The Garden of Time.”

While many celebrities are being lauded for their impeccable commitment to the theme, some have sparked internet debates with their fashion choices.
Despite differing opinions, I believe Brie Larson, attending her fourth Met Gala, exuded elegance and sophistication, making a memorable impression at the pinnacle of the fashion calendar.

Madonna, the iconic “Queen of Pop,” stands at a height of 5ft 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm) with a peak height of 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm).
At the 2013 Billboard Music Awards held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 19, singer Madonna, whose peak height was 5ft 4 inches (162.6 cm), stood at 5ft 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm) as she posed in the press room (Credit: Kathy Hutchins / Shutterstock)
The Impact of Height in Celebrity Self-Perception: Madonna’s Perspective
She once mentioned feeling like a “shrimp” in an interview due to her height, although she believed it was average. For context, the average American woman typically has a height of around 5 feet 4 inches.
I’ve always wanted to be taller. I feel like a shrimp, but that’s the way it goes. I’m five-foot four-and-a-half-inches – that’s actually average. Everything about me is average. Everything’s normal, in the books. It’s the things inside me that make me not average.

Film historians, critics and cineastes have heralded 1939 as the greatest year for Hollywood films. It was the year that saw the release of such classics as “Gone with the Wind,” “Stagecoach,” “Love Affair,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “Young Mr. Lincoln” and “Wuthering Heights.” That’s just the tip of the iceberg
But what about Broadway? A case can be made for 1964, which saw the debuts of three musicals that became classics: “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Funny Girl” and “Hello, Dolly!”
Broadway was changing in the 1960s. Oscar Hammerstein II died in 1960; Irving Berlin’s last show was the disappointing 1962 “Mr. President”; and Cole Porter, who died in 1964, hadn’t had a musical on Broadway since the 1950s. Sixty years ago, a group of young talented composers and lyricists were the toast of the Great White Way.

Powered by its artificial intelligence assets, Microsoft has leapfrogged Apple to become the most valuable public company.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft’s market value finished the week at $2.88 trillion, compared with Apple’s $2.86 trillion. Over the past year, Microsoft has added about $1 trillion in value, as fascination with generative AI (a major point of contention in Hollywood’s dual strikes) increased.
Shares in Microsoft finished Friday’s trading at $388.47, up 1% and near an all-time high. Apple’s stock has also been within range of record territory, though it closed the day up only a fraction at $185.92.

Exclusive: The Crown’s Imelda Staunton will lead a revival of the classic Jerry Herman-Michael Stewart Broadway musical Hello, Dolly! into the Andrew Lloyd Webber-owned London Palladium next summer.
Echoing words in composer and lyricist Herman’s titular number, the show’s producer Michael Harrison observed that “it’s so nice to have Imelda back on stage where she belongs.”
Directed by Dominic Cooke, the production — with Staunton playing matchmaker Dolly Levi — will begin performances at the Palladium on July 6 for a strictly limited 10-week season ending September 14.
The Palladium, designed by Frank Matcham, opened on a site close to Oxford Circus in 1910, the year King Edward VII died. It was to become a favorite venue of the Royal Family, often hosting the annual Royal Variety Show in the presence of the late Queen Elizabeth II, great-granddaughter of Edward VII.

Heidi Klum is known for her modeling work and her participation in Project Runway. The former Victoria’s Secret model is known around town for her love of Halloween, too. For more than two decades, Klum has hosted a blowout bash to celebrate the holiday. While Halloween is largely seen as a kid’s holiday, her own children were just recently invited to the Halloween bash. Leni Klum received her first invite last year at the ripe old age of 18.

Gwyneth Paltrow revealed Leonardo DiCaprio tried to seduce her in their younger years. But Paltrow just wasn’t interested in going out with the megastar at the time.

Paltrow has had a few high profile relationships during her time in the spotlight. She’s well known for having gone out with Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt back in the day. In Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, she touched on her relationship with the two stars, even comparing their skills in bed.
“That is really hard. Because Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time,” Paltrow said. “And then Ben was, like, technically excellent.”
She also nearly married Pitt at the time. But she backed out due to her own lack of life experience.

Every Halloween, Heidi Klum can be counted on to debut the year’s most talked-about costume, and 2022 was no exception. Last Halloween, Klum rolled down the red carpet in an enormous worm costume. It was as challenging to move in as it was to put together. The costume required two years of preparation and took 10 hours to complete ahead of Klum’s Halloween party.
Heidi Klum’s 2022 Halloween costume was difficult to pull off
After a two-year break from her Halloween parties because of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, Klum brought her event back in 2022. She’d spent two years brainstorming and landed on a worm costume.
“I like to do something unexpected, so I tried to think of a costume that is super absurd, but also very familiar,” she told Vogue. “Because it is Halloween, you need the creepy factor, also a bit gross and disgusting.”

George A. Romero is most often associated with the zombie, thanks to his history-making depiction of them, beginning with 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. While Romero’s zombies rose from the grave and devoured the flesh of the living, Romero’s monsters were never of the undead variety. One common thread throughout his impressive career demonstrated the filmmaker’s uncanny ability to keep a prescient pulse on society and reveal the monstrous underbelly of humanity.
Perhaps none emphasized this as much as the unearthed lost film The Amusement Park. Just over a year ago, Shudder debuted a restoration of the never before released PSA, a 60-minute descent into terror and heartbreak when an elderly gentleman sets out for a day of fun only to find abuse, mistreatment, and ostracization awaiting at every turn.
Now, Romero’s The Amusement Park heads home with a Blu-ray and DVD release from Shudder and Rlje Films.

Today in 1964, Hello Dolly opened at the St. James Theatre, where it ran for 2844 performances. The show features lyrics and music by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart, based on Thornton Wilder's 1938 farce The Merchant of Yonkers, which Wilder revised and retitled The Matchmaker in 1955. Hello, Dolly was first produced on Broadway by David Merrick in 1964, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and nine other Tonys. The show album Hello, Dolly An Original Cast Recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. The show has become one of the most enduring musical theatre hits, enjoying three Broadway revivals and international success. It was also made into a 1969 film that was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

The major challenge in taking on an iconic work like “Bye Bye Birdie” is how profoundly it is identified with other stars, say Bill Irwin and Jayne Houdyshell. They are now starring in the Broadway revival—the first since it premiered in 1961—written by Michael Stewart with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Lee Adams. “Paul Lynde asserts an indelible gravitational pull,” admits Irwin, who plays the slightly demented Harry MacAfee, father to the teenage lead. “So when you see lines on the page, it’s hard not to hear them as he said them.”Houdyshell, who plays Albert’s smothering mom, Mae Peterson, agrees. “The women who have played the role are fantastic. Though I never saw Kay Medford [in the original Broadway production], I saw Maureen Stapleton in the movie and Tyne Daly in the TV version. The challenge was to let go of any preconceived notion and try and find it...
