Photography by Getty Images The model turned her viral cucumber-cutting moment into a costume. By Jennifer Berry Date November 1, 2022 Listen, I have no illusions about one of the talents of the Kardashian-Jenner family — they know how to bait the public and create viral moments. It’s a particular area of expertise of the ever-crafty matriarch Kris Jenner; the devil works hard but the momager truly works harder. So when model Kendall Jenner went viral earlier this year for having quite literally never held a knife or chopped a vegetable before, one could not be blamed for assuming it…

One of the long-promised benefits of quantum computers is simulating molecules very quickly, but it turns out that these extra-fast speeds might not be possible Technology 16 August 2022 By Alex Wilkins An artist’s impression of a quantum computerBartlomiej K. Wroblewski/Shutterstock Quantum computers may not be able to simulate molecules and solve other problems in chemistry as fast as researchers had hoped, a new analysis has found. The promise of quantum computers is that they can solve some tasks exponentially faster than ordinary computers, but this hasn’t yet been demonstrated for useful, real-world problems. One highly anticipated application is calculating…
Karol G is blessing fans with new music. On Sunday (Nov. 13), the singer-songwriter dropped her new track “Cairo,” an infectious track produced by her go-to producer Ovy On the Drums. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Penned by the team behind “Provenza” — Karol, Ovy and Keityn — “Cairo” is a head-bobbing earworm that thrives on a fusion of dance beats and Afrobeat.

Have you noticed that the opening credits to Andor are changing week to week and episode to episode? It’s true, each week the score that plays during the opening title card changes. It started relatively simple and small, and each week the orchestra that plays the music grows bigger and bigger, symbolizing the growing Rebellion and the way Cassian Andor himself is evolving and maturing through the course of the show.That’s just one of the many Easter eggs, Star Wars references, and little details you might have missed in Episode 10 of Andor. In our latest Star Wars video, we do a full breakdown…

Saturday, November 19 8/7c Santa Bootcamp (Lifetime) The Walking Dead’s Emily Kinney and One Day At a Time’s living legend, Rita Moreno, star in this cute, steamy, and a bit cheeky film about an event planner who lands an important, career-changing gig, but she must attend a crash course in Christmas to pull it off successfully.

Photography by Anthony Tudisco The trail-blazing 21-year-old model chats about her experience working with stylists, THAT Moschino moment and the tweet that started it all. By Annika Lautens Date November 2, 2022 Most people aren’t their own role models, but then again, Aaron Rose Philip isn’t most people. Tired of not seeing Black, physically disabled and trans models like herself in fashion magazines, the model and activist decided to become the change she wanted to see in the industry and took to Twitter in 2017 to share her frustrations. Philip hoped to inspire a reaction, but she didn’t expect the…
A great knife is the cornerstone on which a great meal is built. But if you ask three chefs what makes a great knife, you’ll likely get at least five answers. The truth is that what makes the perfect knife for you will depend on many factors, including your comfort level with knives, the size of your hands, and what sort of food you like to cook.That said, there’s a reason the basic 6- to 8-inch chef’s knife is ubiquitous: It’s the most versatile knife. The chef’s knife is capable of dicing veggies, slicing meat, smashing garlic, and chopping herbs…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Around the world, public attitudes toward international politics are coalescing into two opposing blocks: liberal democracies favoring the United States (US) and citizens of more authoritarian nations who back China and Russia—a process accelerated by the war in Ukraine. This is according to University of Cambridge researchers, who “harmonized” data from surveys conducted in 137 countries, including in 75 countries since Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, and found a divide—growing for a decade—that now polarizes the global population. They say that Russia’s war has led people in the West to feel ever greater allegiance to…

It feels like only yesterday we got a big, lavish update of the classic children’s tale Pinocchio. That’s because it was only two months ago — when Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio premiered on Disney+. That version hewed very closely to the 1940 animated version from Walt Disney.No one is going to mistake this latest Pinocchio with Disney’s. That’s because it’s by Guillermo del Toro, who has a very different inkling of how to tell this sort of story than a Disney or a Zemeckis. Plus it is a stop-motion animated movie, co-directed by Mark Gustafson, and it hews more closely to the original Pinocchio story, which is a whole lot…
Tordotcom Publishing (@tordotcompub)Maud Blyth always longed for adventure. She expected plenty of it when she volunteered to serve as a companion on an ocean liner to help her brother unravel a magical conspiracy.

Doctor Who’s whole existence has been that of a metamorphosing thing. Due in part to the show’s baked-in rubrics of time travel and regenerating protagonists, it’s the kind of series that gets a new cast—and in some cases a new showrunner—every few years. The whole point is that the person who plays the Time Lord changes, giving the character a new attitude and giving fans the opportunity to fight over which actor’s take is the best. But as Jodie Whittaker’s time in the TARDIS came to an end following this weekend’s feature-length episode, “The Power of the Doctor,” one thing…

There are few former rock music couples more famous than Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, so perhaps it’s no great shock that Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox dressed as them for Halloween this year. Likewise, the fact that fans have reacted in a multitude of ways is no less surprising.As reported by Entertainment Weekly yesterday (Oct. 29), the romantic pair attended tequila brand Casamigos’ Halloween party in Beverly Hills this past Friday (Oct. 28). While there, they captured how Lee and Anderson looked at the 1995 grand opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.Specifically, Kelly emulated Lee’s famous white…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Convergence? Life themes overlap and flow through time. Our past flows into the present. Present events trigger past memories. Convergence is about how these themes are present in the life and work of psychologist Dr. Bryce Davison. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? Yes, I love psychological thrillers, but of all varieties, including legal thrillers and crime thrillers. All of these are heavily psychological in nature. What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Anyone of a certain age who enjoyed watching The Waltons during its original run in the 1970s is pleased to see the show return in a similar form on The CW. They’re also thrilled that Richard Thomas, the original John-Boy Walton, is along for the ride. In anticipation of A Waltons’ Thanksgiving, premiering on Sunday, November 20, on The CW, we spoke with Thomas about his career and returning to the role that made him a household name. Good. Thank you so much for talking with me today. Oh, it’s my pleasure. I have to tell you, of course, as…
I’m pretty lucky. Not only do I have a job where I get to experience, write, and learn about the newest beauty products and beauty trends hitting the beauty industry, but I also get to interview and get to know the artists and experts who execute and create them. That said, I also feel lucky to have a beauty-loving, 73-year-old makeup artist mom who I can consult about anything and everything. (My poor father never gets a word in when we have a family catch-up call. Sorry, Dad!) Being a 73-year-old product junkie and also a Tucson-based makeup expert who specialises in educating older women about…

To win at the card game of bridge, which is played between two sets of partners, one player must somehow signal to their teammate the strength of the hand they hold. Telepathy would come in handy here. But telepathy isn’t real, right? That’s correct. For decades, however, physicists have suspected that if bridge were played using cards governed by the rules of quantum mechanics, something that looks uncannily like telepathy should be possible. Now researchers in China have experimentally demonstrated this so-called quantum pseudotelepathy—not in quantum bridge but in a two-player quantum competition called the Mermin-Peres magic square (MPMS) game,…
The Rolling Stones have only released one studio album since 2005. But the influential English classic rock band is now recording a new one, per reports. And it will feature their late drummer, Charlie Watts, on “some of the tracks,” a Rolling Stones member said — plus at least one other percussionist.Watts, the longtime drummer of The Rolling Stones, died last year at 80.”We are recording the new album now, and we are going to LA in a few weeks to carry it on and finish it off,” Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood told The Sun in a new quote.”Charlie is on some…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Charlie Utopia? The end of a fourteen-year relationship in my own life shocked me into taking a deeper look at my own issues. Had I sacrificed love to chase utopian visions of success? After separation, I was confused by four conflicting possibilities: take time to heal and grow; explore total freedom; revive an old flame; or be open to a new relationship close at hand. The fictional character Charlie Utopia gave me the distance to have perspective on this dilemma, and to try to convey the more universal emotional…
With one episode of The Walking Dead left to go, we’re wondering what we usually wonder at the end of a season: how are our favorite survivors going to beat the bad guys and save the day? We’ve had 11 seasons of “the group” emerging victorious over a variety of nasty, and often not entirely sane, villains. From the Wolves to the Claimers, from Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) to the Governor (David Morrissey), we’re looking back at some of the biggest antagonists from the show by ranking them from worst to best.
