20th Century Fox Television Was Buffy Summers better off with Angel or Spike? It’s a debate that fans of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” will continue to have for years, but in the context of the show, Angel is Buffy’s soulmate. Spike, meanwhile, is essentially a fling to distract the slayer from her misery after being resurrected from the dead and feeling out of sorts. The pair’s relationship, however, informs some of the best episodes of “Buffy,” but it’s certainly a polarizing topic. In a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Marsters (Spike)…

Think of protein bars as grab-and-go snacks, not meal replacements. They’re most helpful when whole foods aren’t available or when your schedule won’t allow for a proper meal. The most beneficial sources of protein come with fiber, healthy fats, and other nutrients. (That’s why registered dietitians recommend whole foods over ultra-processed alternatives.) So, while high-protein snacks may boast impressive counts on the label, they’re not always the healthiest option.After consulting the nutrition experts about key ingredients to look for (and what to avoid), we’ve rounded up the best protein bars that meet those standards. For more tips on protein, check…
If you haven’t seen The Gilded Age on HBO, I highly suggest you remedy that immediately. The period drama is pure immersive escapist television, transporting readers back to a time of decadent balls, slow-burn courtships, high-stakes gossip and staggering social strategy. If you are a fan, I’m thrilled to share five recent novels set in Gilded Age New York which are sure to scratch a similar itch, a list which delightfully span across genres (a few dramas, a thriller, and even a caper). My Fair Frauds by Lee Kelly & Jennifer Thorne Billed as Ocean’s 11 with ballgowns, the recently…
Of the more than 600 million cats across the globe, less than 10% belong to a specific breed. But are these purebred cats the result of human intervention, or did some develop naturally?The answer is more complicated than it might seem. According to Leslie A. Lyons, a cat geneticist at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, most cat breeds developed in the past 140 years as a result of human selection for specific physical traits.However, a select few are known as “natural” cat breeds because they are derived from a population of cats that evolved due to factors…
The CW One of the biggest teen shows of the late 2000s and early 2010s, “Gossip Girl” typifies both the era and the genre, and remains a cultural touchstone today. The CW series follows students at a prep school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Blake Lively plays Serena van der Woodsen, a popular girl and socialite, while Leighton Meester co-stars as Blair Waldorf, the status-seeking queen bee who rules the school with an iron fist. Penn Badgley portrays Dan Humphrey, a scholarship student from the wrong side of…
The double-edge sword of remakes: The reason you make one is to capitalize on an audience’s familiarity with a beloved property, but you also can’t make something that feels too familiar, or that same audience will think they’ve seen your new movie already and they’ll pass on buying a ticket. As a result, there’s a push and pull going on behind the scenes of every remake, with their creators weighing how close to stay (or how far to stray) from their source material.When filmmakers lean toward the latter, you get titles the like ten on the list below — which all qualify as remakes, but are…
Here is the best metal song of each year of the 1980s, including one runner-up for all 10 years!Many will argue that there was no greater decade for heavy metal than the ’80s. Sure, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest created metal in the ’70s, but it wasn’t until the following decade that it truly gained its foothold, becoming a widespread phenomenon that would rule radio and TV by the end of the 10-year stretch.Within just a couple of short years, traditional heavy metal was morphing and evolving, heading deep into the underground and onto the world’s biggest stages. The rise…

Sahelanthropus fossils (centre) compared with a chimpanzee (left) and a human (right)Wiliams et al., Sci. Adv. 12, eadv0130 A long-running and bitterly fought dispute over whether the earliest known hominin had a knuckle-walking gait, like chimpanzees, or walked upright, like humans, may have been settled – but not everyone is convinced. Scott Williams at New York University and his colleagues say that reanalysis of fossil remains of Sahelanthropus tchadensis shows it had at least three key anatomical features that together show that it was our earliest known hominin ancestor to be bipedal. It has, however, been a lengthy journey to…

The Noah Wyle-led medical drama is structured to unfold in real time across a single shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. To support that approach, the series was shot sequentially on a highly detailed set designed to function as a working emergency room. Cast members were asked to treat production like a…

Despite now being fully owned and controlled by Amazon MGM Studios, James Bond movies have been irregularly available on Prime Video or other streaming services in recent months. Starting January 15th, though, 26 of the iconic British spy’s cinematic adventures will begin streaming on Netflix, from the Sean Connery-starring Dr. No to the final Daniel Craig film, No Time to Die. James Bond fans might have noticed the number 26 there: There have been 25 “official” James Bond movies since the franchise’s beginnings in 1962, produced by Eon Pictures. However, Connery also starred as Bond in 1983’s Never Say Never…

Blood tests are inconvenient to schedule. You have to fast for at least eight hours beforehand for many of them, and it’s hell if you’re scared of needles.This year, fitness tracker companies like Oura and…

MTV (2) Cardi B may not cook or clean, but she made a meal out of her debut on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” leaving nary a crumb to pick up. Friday’s Season 18 premiere welcomed Cardi to the judges’ panel, where the rapper earned the title of “villain judge.” Was it a title she gave to herself? Yes. But in her defense, it was absolutely deserved — and thoroughly entertaining. While some guest judges tread lightly, offering mild criticisms amid generally neutral statements, Cardi came out swinging, leaving at least one…

Rhode was one of the top beauty brands of 2025, based on hard-earned editor attention and overall internet virality. (We mustn’t forget the brand’s most notable moments, like when it was acquired for a reported $1 billion in May and when it entered Sephora in September.) The brand launched multiple internet-famous items last year. In January, it introduced the ever-popular Peptide Lip Shapes—lip contours rather than liners. Then, it went on to drop the chronically sold-out Glazing Mist and logo-emblazed Peptide Eye Prep Masks, among other things. Hailey Bieber rounded out the year by dropping a Birthday Edit in November.Now…

A new mRNA treatment rejuvenates key immune cells in the body, which could help them fight off infections and cancer, a mouse study suggests.T cells help train other immune cells to fight off disease. But as the body ages, the activity of these T cells declines, and they become less responsive to threats. Additionally, the thymus gland — where T cells mature — begins to shrink with age. These impacts of aging may explain why vaccines and immune-boosting cancer therapies don’t work as well in older adults as they do in younger adults, Nature News reported.In the new study, published…
