Are her dreams just illusions, as she sings on side A? Does she already know that “L’amour viendra" (“Love will come") as she sings on...
For Olivia Michel, matzo is the consummate snack. A theater props artisan and social worker who grew up in Harlem, Michel is not Jewish—yet her love of the infamous unleavened bread of Passover is still firmly rooted in nostalgia. During afternoons spent watching TV with her close friend Talia, whose family are Reform Jews, Michel would snack on plain, unsalted matzo spread with peanut butter and honey. “It could be like the week after Passover or something, or any random Wednesday afternoon,...
In our modern-day society, hyper-connected to the virtual realm, it may be more important than expected to synchronize one's mind and body to natural cycles, such as the lunar phases.

Characters of all kinds populate Swift's work, starting from her very...
While Jamie Bell and Margaret Qualley prepare to embody Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Rooney Mara fights to keep her Audrey Hepburn-centric project alive, Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio look poised to play two other silver screen icons in their very own sweeping biopic: crooner Frank Sinatra and his second wife, Hollywood bombshell Ava Gardner, in a new drama from Martin Scorsese, no less. Lawrence and DiCaprio—who previously co-starred in a very different awards...
Thoughts, prayers and No Fear Shakespeares for X’s bigoted troll community today, who—mere days after finding out that Romeo and Juliet is neither based in fact nor written by Baz Luhrmann—have another bitter pill to swallow: not only will Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers tread the boards in the “The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy” come May, but Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler are heading to Broadway in a Sam Gold-directed adaptation of Romeo and Juliet at an undisclosed point this...

Stop the search because we've found the coolest baby alive, and it's none other than Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's firstborn: RZA Athelston Mayers. What makes us say RZA is the coolest baby alive? Well, we could say it's the fact that he is named after one of the most legendary rappers ever or that he landed his first Vogue cover before his first birthday, but we would be lying.
