This year, Amy Grant's hit single “Baby Baby” turns 35 years old. The song, off the 1991 album Heart in Motiongave Grant her first chart-topper as a solo artist.

They talked about Aretha…
President Donald Trump is so confident in his supposed ceasefire deal with Iran that he's — once again — threatening to bomb them to smithereens if they “don't behave” or try to make any further changes to the agreement. Trump and his administration have been exceedingly cagey about the contents of the agreement, which was supposedly signed by the two nations over the weekend. It's not actually a fully fledged deal, as Vice President JD Vance revealed during an interview with ABC News, but a “memorandum of understanding.” It's basically an agreement to make an agreement. False starts are not…

Then they add: “Two people continue to look for each other amidst chaos, endless nights, excesses and moments in which it seems like they are totally lost inside the other.

Journalist James Verini’s new book, The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War, tells the story of Ukrainians who turned a Mariupol dramatic arts theater into a haven for refugees after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. In this excerpt, Verini tells the story of aspiring actors Liza and Dima, a young couple who coped with the war by turning it into a play — before the theater was ultimately destroyed by Russian bombs.

If you walked anywhere near Midtown Manhattan over the last decade, you were likely bombarded with a fleet of rickshaws blasting the 2009 concrete-jungle anthem “Empire State of Mind” through makeshift speakers. To some who live here, it’s one of the reasons to avoid Times Square—that is until last week, when the New York Knicks’ playoff run ended in the city’s first NBA championship in 53 years, sending residents into the streets to hug strangers and sing Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ hit at the top of their lungs. With the song getting a fresh soundtrack-of-the-city moment, I rang up Al…
Four years after surgery for a strained vocal cord prompted Jon Bon Jovi to take a break from touring, the singer says he's ready to hit the road for Bon Jovi's upcoming Forever tour. “I'm fully recovered,” he recently told People. “It was longer than I'd ever expected, but it had to be right. We never lost faith.” Bon Jovi also had complimentary words for his bandmates, whose patience he praised. “They never doubted [me] and never looked for work or decided to retire,” he told the magazine. “The sacrifices that each one of them have made to be there…
During the storm of rumors and apparent controversy that surrounded the 2022 film Don't Worry DarlingOlivia Wilde had the urge to step in and set the record straight, but ultimately decided against it, the director shared on Call Her Daddy. “I wanted to be like, 'Can I just talk to people?'” Wilde said. “Can I just go and say like, 'That's not true?' And it was like, 'No, that won't help.' And that was really hard.” Without intervention, the speculation got a little out of hand at times. At one point during the press cycle, when the cast appeared at…
My father, the actor Henry Fonda, starred in many cowboy and Indian films. When I was a young girl, I dreamed of being an Indian galloping bareback across the prairie and gliding silently through forests, leaving no trace. My film favorites were any Westerns that had Indians in them, and yet I knew nothing about the history of North America's Indigenous peoples. That began to change in 1970, when Indigenous activists occupied Alcatraz Island. I visited with them, and soon I was learning more and more. During a cross-country drive to New York to begin filming KluteI visited reservations across…
