Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:57:41 GMT

If there’s anyone who understands what makes pop culture snap and crackle on TV, it’s Fenton Bailey. As one half of the dynamic duo behind World of Wonder (the production company that gave us RuPaul’s Drag Race, DragCon and some wonderfully subversive films and documentaries), he’s helped shape reality television trends in a truly impactful way.(Penguin Books)In his new book, ScreenAge, Bailey shares his journey creating wildly popular programming and working with everyone from RuPaul to Tammy Faye Bakker. It’s a real look under the wigs so to speak, boasting behind-the-scenes tea about his fabulous universe and his work with WOW co-founder Randy Barbato.

Some seasick as topless bathing season approaches on Nantucket

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:57:41 GMT

Some on the island of Nantucket are dreading this summer.It’s not global warming or Kevin Spacey making a return visit that has them fretting, it’s topless bathing. It kicks off, or comes off, in a few short months.“I don’t want the season to begin,” said Nantucket resident Beth Barry, who said she’s not alone in that sentiment. “It’s like having a free strip club. So many people didn’t vote for it.”But the majority did. As the Herald reported last May, Nantucket Town Meeting members passed the topless bylaw 327 to 242. Then-Attorney General Maura Healey backed the legality of the bylaw in December before changing over to the governor’s office.Healey’s AG office stated: “We approve the Town’s vote authorizing any person to go topless on any public or private beach in Nantucket because we discern no conflict” with the constitution.Alas, John Adams did not see this one coming when he penned the Massachusetts Constitution.Barry, who said she’s not a prude but wants the Town Meeting vot...

Celebrities balk at paying Twitter for a blue check mark

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:57:41 GMT

By Matt O’Brien | Associated PressWilliam Shatner, Monica Lewinsky and other prolific Twitter commentators — some household names, others little-known journalists — could soon be losing the blue check marks that helped verify their identity on the social media platform.They could get the marks back by paying up to $11 a month. But some longtime users, including 92-year-old Star Trek legend Shatner, have balked at buying the premium service championed by Twitter’s billionaire owner and chief executive Elon Musk.After months of delay, Musk is gleefully promising that Friday is the deadline for celebrities, journalists and others who’d been verified for free to pony up or lose their legacy status.“It will be glorious,” he tweeted Monday, in response to a Twitter user who noted that Friday is also April Fools’ Day.After buying Twitter for $44 billion in October, Musk has been trying to boost the struggling platform’s revenue by pushing more peop...

NCAA men’s winners and losers: Gonzaga and UCLA hammer each other as lower seeds thrive and UConn emerges

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:57:41 GMT

The rapidly intensifying Gonzaga-UCLA postseason rivalry has one winner and, it seems, two victims.Twice in the past three years, the Zags eliminated the Bruins from the NCAA Tournament in thrilling fashion, with their epic Final Four game in 2021 and then a riveting Sweet 16 matchup last week.The Zags won the former on Jalen Suggs’ 40-foot buzzer beater and the latter on Julian Strawther’s long 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining.But in each case, the effort required to oust the Bruins appeared to exact a significant physical and emotional toll as Gonzaga struggled to recover adequately for its next assignment.The Zags trailed Baylor by double digits early in the 2021 national championship game and could not keep pace with UConn in the second half of Saturday’s Elite Eight game.So while they hit the Bruins with two gut-punch losses, UCLA made sure to grab a pound of flesh on its way out.Now the teams, which had designs on the Final Four when the tournament bega...

(CNN Español) – El dúo venezolano LAGOS presentó en febrero su tema “No se acaba hasta que se acabe”, una balada con la banda mexicana Reik.El título de la canción es un adelanto de la letra de la misma, que está cargada de sinceridad a lo que podría –o no– ser el ocaso de una relación.“No sabemos el final de la historia, pero sí sabemos que hay que perseverar, mínimo luchar hasta el final, ¿no? Hay veces que que vale la pena. Bueno, yo creo que siempre vale la pena porque por lo menos duermes en paz, de que intentaste todo lo que pudiste.
