“Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie — oh my God, there’s been so many,” a young waiter standing at the front of the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton said on Sunday afternoon just after 4 p.m. The server, with a tray of spring water, was listing all the divas and…
My unofficial plan for 2025 is to catch up with some of my B.I.F.s (Best Ingredients Forever), and I’ll bet you can guess what’s at the top of the list. That’s right, anchovies! (Don’t worry, dear chocolate; we’ll touch base again around Valentine’s Day.) The thing about anchovies is, the oomph-to-effort ratio is absurdly weighted…
In the 1970s, jeans weren’t considered presidential. Former President Gerald R. Ford, a square-jawed Republican, wore stocky suits, and while it’s possible that Lyndon Johnson or John F. Kennedy wore denim in the Oval Office, there is no record of them in Levi’s as they held the nation’s highest office. Then came President Jimmy Carter….
Hollywood may be a famously liberal town, but it is starting to look increasingly conservative. Or so it seemed at the Golden Globes, the first official red carpet and communal fashion pageant of the year — and thus theoretically the pacesetter for 2025, or at least the 2025 award season. The biggest trend of the…
Not long ago, 40 was considered over the hill in sports. But we are increasingly seeing athletes, like the skier Lindsey Vonn, 40, and the climber Chris Sharma, 43, staging midlife comebacks.

The birth certificate may read New Jersey, but the origin story of Karl-Anthony Towns, the seven-foot star for the New York Knicks, extends to New York City. Growing up in nearby Piscataway, N.J., Mr. Towns and his parents would routinely make the 37-mile commute to the city to experience parks, museums, New York Yankees games,…
Rexburg, Idaho, may be one of the more unexpected places to find a world-class slice of New York-style pizza. The windswept city, home to B.Y.U.-Idaho, is a three-hour drive from the nearest major airport and 2,200 miles from Manhattan. But from its electric oven, Righteous Slice is serving pizza that would not be out of…
Can Paxlovid treat long Covid? A new report suggests it might help some patients, but which patients might benefit remains unclear. The report, published Monday in the journal Communications Medicine, describes the cases of 13 long Covid patients who took extended courses of the antiviral drug. Results were decidedly mixed: Nine patients reported some improvement,…
What do these pieces mean to you? These are very emotional to me. I’m struggling to explain what it means to be trans, and then to be welcomed home. It’s just a welcoming. I feel warm, I feel welcomed by the women in my family. I transitioned after my mother passed. Neither one of my…
Dear readers, When a friend forwarded some fresh ridiculous news about billionaires recently — you might have heard it’s a gangbusters time to be one — I scoffed the scoff of the comfortably righteous. Boo, hiss, the filthy feckless rich! Let them eat crypto, or whatever. My reading preferences, though, tend to look a lot…
