Sergio Garcia Hallmark is taking a page from the “Yellowstone” playbook, turning back the clock (even further) for a “When Calls the Heart” prequel series. Bethany Joy Lenz (“One Tree Hill”), Benjamin Ayres (“Saving Hope”), and Jill Hennessy (“City on a Hill”) are set to star in “Hope Valley: 1874,” an eight-episode offshoot earmarked for streaming service Hallmark+.

By Howard Bloom On Monday December 8th the Oxford University Press Journal SLEEP Advances made a startling claim: that, as one headline put it, getting less than seven hours of sleep is linked to shorter life expectancy. In other words, get less than seven hours of sleep per night and you shorten your life. Which means that getting between seven and nine hours of sleep on a regular basis can lengthen your life. Put that new information together with older scientific studies and you come to a simple but awe-injecting conclusion: getting into the habit of a good night’s sleep, a…

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s still a chance to catch some of the best meteor showers of the year. Also known as shooting stars, meteors happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky.The next shower are the Geminids, a busy and bright shower that peaks in mid-December, offering the chance to see hundreds of shooting stars each hour. This is just one of…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Red Snow in Winter? I have always been interested in the Cold War. I wanted to write a novel set during that time and decided to explore the end of the war, when tensions were rising. My father was an intelligence officer in World War II for the Air Force. I always got the sense that he had completed some highly important missions, but he wouldn’t tell us anything. He felt compelled to keep the secrets decades later. I thought about him when creating my main character. If you…
Quantum particles can now be made to carry useful information for longerkoto_feja/Getty Images The odd phenomenon of quantum superposition has helped researchers break a fundamental quantum mechanical limit – and given quantum objects properties that make them useful for quantum computing for longer periods of time. For a century, physicists have been puzzled by exactly where the line between the quantum world of the small and the macroscopic world that we experience should be drawn. In 1985, physicists Anthony Leggett and Anupam Garg devised a mathematical test that could be applied to objects and their behaviour over time to diagnose…
TVLINE | We find out that Alberta used to have a popular ventriloquism act. What was your reaction to that when you first read the script?I was like, ‘What? This is nuts!’ We’ve done these really beautiful flashbacks for her in these last four seasons and now for Season 5, I was like, ‘Can I do a little something weird?’ And this episode, [writer/producer] Emily Schmidt knocked it out of the park. When I got this script, I was like, ‘Puppet?! What’s happening?’ And then that day we did the table read, I had a ventriloquist coach come in and I…
In his controversial but undeniably significant smash hit ‘Stan’, Eminem relayed the story of an obsessive fan who would do anything to get the attention of his idol. His deteriorating mental health – conveyed through a series of increasingly worrying letters to Eminem – eventually led him to threats, then acts, of violence, and even some 20 years later the impact of the song on pop culture is unquestionable, blessing obsessive, sometimes overstepping fans with the nickname “stans”. Of course the depiction of the crazed fan is nothing new – Kathy Bates won an Oscar for Misery back in 1991 – but…
A Palestine benefit single from an ensemble including Brian Eno, Neneh Cherry, and Nadine Shah is out today.

I was on my weekend walk to the Upper East Side when I spotted someone wearing a triangle scarf, and it immediately caught my eye. A girl about my age had styled it in light blue on top of a white coat, and that was the moment I knew there really is something about this winter micro-trend that feels special. We’ve had years and years of chunky scarves trending, but the moment has finally come to allow something lightweight to step in. I knew I needed to try this out for myself.

James Gunn and director Craig Gillespie recently opened up about the upcoming Supergirl, and how they believe it’s the first “anti-hero” movie in the DCU. What did James Gunn and Craig Gillespie say about Supergirl? Speaking to Variety in a recent interview, Gillespie explained that the tone of the upcoming movie is to be an “anti-hero” story, and explore a lot of the baggage that Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) has, which is a stark contrast to the only other Kryptonian around, Superman. “This is really an anti-hero story, She’s got a lot of baggage and a lot of demons coming…
In an emotional interview, Jelly Roll opened up about the many reasons he felt motivated to lose weight — and one of the most predominant ones, he revealed, was to improve his intimacy with wife Bunnie Xo. While speaking to Joe Rogan in a podcast episode posted Wednesday (Dec. 10), the country star teared up while discussing how his food addiction and struggles with obesity had strained his relationships with his family. “I’d done nothing but lie to them for years about this weight,” he began, his voice breaking. “I’d never proved to them that I was gonna change.” “I…

In Wednesday’s Season 38 finale, Phil Keoghan met the Final 3 teams back in New York City, where one duo was at last awarded the $1 million check. But who didn’t make it to that last leg?

For every party, dinner, and event I’m invited to, I make a Pinterest board for outfit and makeup inspiration.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Blood Tide? Blood Tide started as a long short story for a planned anthology of post-WWII noir tales from different characters and places. I wrote two of the eight stories before the project got shelved. Several months later, I returned to this one—originally titled Dark Cargo—dusted it off, and decided to expand it into novelette length. But the reason I kept coming back to this story? I’ve always been drawn to noir because it tells the truth about power. It doesn’t pretend institutions are clean or that justice comes…
Comet Lemmon, photographed from northern Italy on 26th October 2025Marcel Clemens/Alamy I don’t think anyone declared it, but 2025 was a big year for comets. There was comet Lemmon, which was discovered in January and stayed in the news for a good nine months. The images of Lemmon’s long and beautiful tail, created by solar heating of the comet, stopped me in my tracks every time. Then there was the September discovery of C/2025 R2 (SWAN), a comet so bright that even when it was near the moon on Halloween, it was still quite visible to observers. And there was…

That this exchange takes place within the feminine domain of the department store – the doll counter, no less – clearly places the film within the world of women. While men hover at the periphery, their attempts to insert themselves into Carol and Therese’s intimate shared world are rightfully experienced by both women as unwelcome intrusions. In contrast, both Therese’s boyfriend, Richard (Jake Lacy) and Carol’s husband, Harge (Kyle Chandler) are baffled by the women’s quick affinity for and deepening attachment to one another. Their confusion is partially the result of masculine ego – how could a woman be their romantic rival?…
