Some people think Vanessa Hudgens is great and some people think she’s terrible, but as she revealed in a new appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s a uniquely qualified medium: The High School Musical star said she has been interacting with ghosts her whole life. The subject came up after a conversation about golf, where Clarkson joked about having a few drinks on the golf course. She then turned Hudgens’ attention to harder spirits: “Are you obsessed with ghosts?” she asked. “I’ve accepted the fact that I see things and I hear things,” Hudgens replied. Her apparition condition manifested at a young age,…

There’s one lead character on Moon Knight — unless you count all his different personalities, in which case there’s at least three (all played by Oscar Isaac). There’s Steven Grant, the bumbling gift shop employee with an interest in ancient Egyptian history. There’s Marc Spector, a ruthless mercenary. And there’s Moon Knight, a superhero who dresses like a mummy who’s a big fan of Batman.So who is real and who is a figment of Steven’s (or Marc’s) imagination? Who is really in control here? What does Khonshu have to do with Marc and Steven? And could there be more personalities lurking in Steven/Marc’s brain that…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When presented with proposed natural gas export operations in the state, Oregonians are more likely to perceive the environmental and public health risks than the potential financial gains, a recent study from Oregon State University found. To date, six natural gas export projects have been proposed along the Oregon coast but none have been built, most recently the Jordan Cove LNG project slated for Coos Bay, which was first proposed in 2004 and ultimately defeated last year. “Oregon is seen as a key location to export natural gas to large markets in Asia, so because of…

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who starred as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, are reprising their roles during Better Call Saul Season 6. The news dropped Paleyfest, while AMC followed it up with a first-look photo.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Puerto Ricans living in Florida, the largest swing state in the country, are mostly supportive of undocumented immigrants, a political attitude that might have broader social and political implications than political candidates and policymakers realize, suggests a University of California, Davis, study. The study contributes to immigration, race and Latino scholarship by uncovering the nuance and complexity of Latinos’ contemporary politics, specifically looking at the 2016 presidential election, said the study’s author, Ariana J. Valle, assistant professor of sociology. The study, “‘He begins by targeting Mexicans and he will end with Puerto Ricans:’ unpacking Florida Puerto…
Photography by Getty Images Your go-to guide for mastering 2022’s most finicky accessory. By Annika Lautens Date March 1, 2022 Truthfully, I’m slightly stressed about how to style a belt. As a fashion news director, I’m in support of designers using belts. As someone who loves to accentuate her waist in her daily style, I understand belts. And as a sometimes wearer of ill-fitting pants, I admit that I need the belt. But whenever I go shopping or get dressed and see that chunky or chain-y accessory, it causes me a moment’s pause. For such a small piece of fabric,…

Hour after hour, year after year, Santiago Ramón y Cajal sat alone in his home laboratory, head bowed and back hunched, his black eyes staring down the barrel of a microscope, the sole object tethering him to the outside world. His wide forehead and aquiline nose gave him the look of a distinguished, almost regal, gentleman, although the crown of his head was as bald as a monk’s. He had only a crowd of glass bottles for an audience, some short and stout, some tall and thin, stopped with cork and filled with white powders and colored liquids; the other…
By her own admission, Toni Collette is “a very expressive actor.” It’s part of what makes her so fun to watch: As a haunted mother in 2018’s Hereditary, her grief and rage take over her face; as a woman with dissociative identity disorder in Showtime’s 2009 series United States of Tara, Collette completely transforms into each of Tara’s wildly different alternate personalities. So it’s all the more striking to watch Netflix’s Pieces of Her and find Collette completely unreadable.But this doesn’t make her performance any less compelling. In the new series, the Emmy winner stars as Laura Oliver, a small-town…

Morbius was released into theaters on April 1, so I have to ask: Are we sure it isn’t some kind of elaborate April Fools’ Day prank? At the very least, it feels like one. There are very few times in my life I have seen a film this poorly performed, this awkwardly written, this obviously taken apart and reconstructed in the editing room. It may be about a vampire but it feels more like the work of a cinematic Dr. Frankenstein; sutured together from bits and pieces of different storylines and characters that don’t fit, and then zapped into unholy, disjointed life.Its title character, played by Jared Leto, has…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Ring? I had sold my business and decided to give myself time to find out what I wanted to do with my life. So I decided to wait and give myself time, even though I just wanted to move on to the next job. I went to India to meditate and on my way home on the plane I had the most amazing experience. I was looking out the window and suddenly it was like I was watching a movie. I saw the the In-Between and some of…
Fans of Grey’s Anatomy have seen several instances of backstage controversy almost as powerful as the show’s well-known onscreen action. Just last month, they had to brace for more, as the ABC medical drama got some bad press when one of the series’ writers came under fire for alleged dishonesty. Of course, Grey’s has had far bigger scandals in its 18-season history. Isaiah Washington (Preston Burke) was fired after an on-set altercation, Katherine Heigl (Izzie Stevens) had a very public falling out with Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes, and Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey (Derek Shepherd) famously caused “HR issues,” in the words…
Yale scientists have identified a way to “supercharge” tumor-attacking T cells, a finding that may not only improve the effectiveness of a promising type of cell-based cancer immunotherapy but also expand the number of cancers it can treat. Their findings are published March 10 in the journal Cell Metabolism. The discovery can advance CAR-T cell therapy, which harnesses the immune response of T cells to cancers by introducing tumor-detecting molecules into the cells. In the last decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved six CAR-T cell therapies to treat B cell lymphomas and multiple myeloma. But despite early…
All routes to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees run through calculus classes. Each year, hundreds of thousands of college students take introductory calculus. But only a fraction ultimately complete a STEM degree, and research about why students abandon such degrees suggests that traditional calculus courses are one of the reasons. With scientific understanding and innovation increasingly central to solving 21st-century problems, this loss of talent is something society can ill afford. Math departments alone are unlikely to solve this dilemma. Several of the promising calculus reforms highlighted in our report Charting a New Course: Investigating Barriers on the Calculus Pathway to…

Uber has been especially squeezed in New York, because the city has since 2018 capped the number of ride-hail vehicles allowed to operate on its roads. As of January, there were just over 96,000 vehicle licenses granted in the city, according to the Taxi and Limousine Commission, though 30,000 of them weren’t used that month. This new partnership will allow Uber to give more rides without adding more cars to the road.The move also has a convenient upside for the once-fractious company: It might endear Uber to the very regulators it used to clash with. From nearly the start, Uber…
