Turns out Kate Middleton has a pretty niche hobby. Sure, the mother of three likes tennis, cooking, and photography. In 2022, she even photographed Queen Camilla for a magazine cover. But when it comes to swimming, the Princess of Wales takes it to another level. So much so that Kate revealed Prince William finds her particular swimming hobby “crazy.”

Cold water is no problem for the Princess of Wales. In fact, as revealed on the Sept. 9 episode of The Good, the Bad, and the Rugby podcast, Kate’s all for colder water.

Roller skating isn’t just a hobby. In black communities across the country, it’s a culture. It’s a way of life.
At the premiere of the documentary “United Skates” in Los Angeles at Avalon on Wednesday night, executive producer John Legend, Cheryl “Salt” James, and more talked about just that, dishing on how roller skating rinks in the United States brought black communities together, and why it’s sad they’re disappearing, a theme that echoed throughout the powerful film.
“Back in the day, skating was the shiznit,” the Salt-n-Pepa rapper told Variety. “It’s what we would do on the weekend. Me and Pep actually used to go to a skating rink on Long Island called Laces, and when I was little, I lived in Brooklyn and Empire was the skating rink.”

Dyana Winkler and Tina Brown’s utterly divine United Skates begins with a tangle of bodies that zig, zag and spin across a roller rink floor in choreographed fashion. Close-ups of sweat-damp skin and excited faces. Neon signs, fluorescent clothes and a thumping beat. In just these brief opening moments before the title crashes on screen, I was hypnotised by the way the camera was capturing these people and embedding itself on the floor, swooping and swinging with as much vigour as the people its watching. The way it captures their passion, their movement and, without even saying a word, their unbridled joy and the memories of days gone by.
It’s my favourite opening of the year; nothing has quite approached the very simple act of hooking me so immediately and in such a way that I bolted upright, eager to see where I was going to be taken.

Samantha Bee came out swinging in her latest episode of TBS’s Full Frontal, blasting one-time show guest Eric Schneiderman. The New York State Attorney General resigned this week in wake of damaging allegations of physical abuse published by New Yorker magazine.
Bee found that “especially infuriating” given that, throughout his political career, Schneiderman has positioned himself as a feminist crusader, championing the #MeToo movement, filing a civil rights lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein and crafting an anti-choking law, which, in one of those incredible coincidences, is what some of his ex girlfriends have accused him of doing to them.
“Now, Schneiderman was a guest on my show, so this is a little complicated for me to talk about but…Just kidding, it’s not complicated: Fuck you, Eric Schneiderman!” Bee fumed.
Then she said it again. Only louder, adding, “It will not give me not one second’s pause about...
