Pop icon Mariah Carey made an alternative rock album in the ’90s, but she kept it hidden until two years ago.That’s when the singer revealed in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that the 1995 album Someone’s Ugly Daughter by the band Chick was in fact her lost grunge album.

What happens when people unknowingly eat, drink or inhale nearly invisible pieces of plastic? Although it’s unclear what impact this really has on humans, researchers have now taken a step toward answering that question. In ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology, a team reports laboratory results indicating that tiny plastic particles could enter liver and lung cells and disrupt their regular processes, potentially causing adverse health outcomes. Plastic can’t be avoided in daily life. Many products that we bring into our homes are made of plastic or wrapped in plastic packaging — all of which could release micro- and nanometer-sized pieces…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Malibu Heat? I lived in Malibu and worked in the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera. Though Malibu Heat is a work of fiction, certain characters and situations were inspired by some of what I saw and heard. I have enough eye-popping memories to write half a dozen Malibu Heat books, and at least two more will follow. The Director’s Daughter will be next, then Acting Up. I loved my time in Tinsel Town, but the business and the environment have changed a great deal…

Some scientists are unhappy about the James Webb Space Telescope’s data being made public immediately, but these stunning images should be for everyone, says Jacob Aron Space | Comment 24 August 2022 By Jacob Aron Simone Rotella WHEN the first image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was unveiled by US president Joe Biden on 11 July, I was stunned. Even the low-quality video stream I was watching made it clear that JWST’s “deep field” picture, containing thousands of galaxies and billions of stars, was something special, but the real fun began once I downloaded the high-resolution image and…

Postcards may be one of the most obvious examples of Marshall McLuhan’s famous dictum, “the medium is the message.” Regardless of what you write on one, a postcard tells someone, hey, I was out and about in the world, and I was thinking of you.I am an inveterate sender of postcards. For all the instantaneousness of today’s communication options, nothing quite conveys a message the way a postcard does. Another aspect I find McLuhanesque is the gap between when you mail the postcard and when the person receives it. The card is independent of both sender and receiver; third parties…

Horror about grief is my favorite kind of horror. I think part of that is because grief is so isolating, so unknowable, so difficult to put into words. Everyone experiences it in some form throughout their lives, and each person deals with it differently. No one ever knows quite what to say or how to help someone in the depths of it. No one can take that pain away, no matter how hard they try. There are no magic words, no action that can undo these feelings in someone. It just is there, in some form, forever. Grief makes us…

If you were looking for action, high-stakes scenarios, and romance, NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 Episode 1 was the episode for you. “Prisoners’ Dilemma” was the second half of the crossover that started with NCIS Season 20 Episode 1. It was a highly enjoyable hour that highlighted that the NCIS universe knows how to craft a crossover that benefits fans of both shows. On the surface, Maxwell Jason making a beeline for the 50th state seemed like a ploy for a quick getaway, but thankfully, there was a method to his madness. I can’t be the only person worried that it…

The drought experiment, set up in Austria’s Stubai Valley. Credit: Eva Fessler With the effects of climate change underway, drought is becoming an increasing problem in many parts of the world. Michael Bahn, researcher from the Department of Ecology at the University of Innsbruck, was involved in several studies on the impact of drought on ecosystems.

They highlight the importance of biodiversity in enabling natural systems to resist drought. The recent IPCC report makes a strong case that with ongoing…

I am the first to admit that I can (sometimes) be a bit of a snob. I like to imagine that, as a beauty journalist, I remain totally impartial every time I try a new product. But if I said that, I’d be lying to both you and myself. In reality, I’m just as much put off by certain product characteristics as the next person—and this is truer than ever when it comes to perfume.As a general rule, I like my perfumes to be sleek, chic, and expensive-smelling. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the fragrances should be expensive—they just have…

Around 1,000 years ago, two men in South America were likely murdered in cold blood — one getting stabbed in the back and the other experiencing severe neck trauma, according to a new analysis of their mummified remains. Behaving more like detectives than academics, a research team scanned three mummified bodies from Chile and Peru in South America to look for clues on how the individuals died. One male victim was hit on the head and stabbed in the back, while another male was likely killed after receiving “massive trauma” to the neck, which included dislocation, the researchers revealed.The study adds…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Seven Beyond? As a young person, I wondered how a career would shape if a person had enough time to master any discipline. And why not more than one discipline like music or finance or architecture? How would a person’s outlook change? What choices would be delayed or discounted? Leonardo de Vinci, for example, mastered and pioneered several disciplines, but he had no private life and worked for hire making weapons for this lord or that one, just to buy more marble. Of course, for women the demand or…

It’s hard to believe that over the 19 years The Ellen DeGeneres Show was on the air, Rosie O’Donnell was never a guest. (Jennifer Aniston was on 20 times! Justin Bieber a whopping 27!) So why was it that the comedian-actress never made her way to Ellen’s couch? The two have a lot in common as veterans of daytime television, with O’Donnell hosting The Rosie O’Donnell Show from 1996-2002, and as fellow openly gay comedians. So it’s a bit odd to consider O’Donnell never joining DeGeneres as a guest, and we found out exactly why when O’Donnell was a guest…
