Travel review: Why a week on the waterways is wonderful for well-being

Glamour's senior beauty editor, I'm constantly testing for skin, hair, face, body, and everything in between. But with so many options available, it's not often that I come across something that feels genuinely unique. This makes my latest beauty obsession all the more fitting: Rare Beauty's new Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil is truly rare, no pun intended. I was instantly intrigued when debuted the on her Instagram page in March.

Michelle Heaton has shared an emotional throwback snap of her first day in rehab two years ago. Showing how far she has come, the former Liberty X singer, who said she never hid her alcohol addiction from her children, looked glum in the flashback image as she stood outside Priory.The 43 year old captioned the image: "#tbt 2 years ago today I arrived on the steps of the @priorygroup.

Season one of “Sweet Tooth,” which debuted nearly two years ago during the height of COVID, was a revelation at the time. As the natural world seemed to be going to Hell, this show offered hope, joy, and love, even though it is set during a post-apocalypse where a deadly virus wiped out most of humanity.

It’s not hard to picture the team behind HBO’s “White House Plumbers” finishing work on an episode of “Veep” and picturing that stellar comedy’s tone being applied to the idiots behind the Watergate break-in. (The director of all five episodes here is David Mandel, showrunner on that massive critical darling.) And as the country once again goes through considerations of impeachment and general malfeasance in the highest offices of the United States, the timing seems just right for a scathing look at one of the key points in our continuing disillusionment with the government.

the fury when we first meet the London-dweller. If anything, she still has a lot to learn in martial arts, until she can outstrip the unsuccessful laughing stock lens many seem to view her through.

Skincare fans of all ages are praising this ‘miracle in a jar’ face cream that claims to reduce the appearance of dark spots, pigmentation, and ageing. Users of the NIVEA Cellular Luminous 630 Anti Dark Spot Night Cream, £13.49 here (was £26.99) have been astonished by the results after using it, with shops up to 70 years old leaving a glowing review of the face cream.

An attorney for Danny Masterson challenged his former longtime girlfriend during cross-examination Wednesday on why her trial testimony alleging the actor raped her in 2001 included several new details that were missing from the accounts she gave authorities at the beginning of the investigation. "Is your testimony today that you can now remember things in 2023 that you didn’t remember in 2017?" Masterson's lawyer Shawn Holley asked the model and actor who is the first witness to take the stand in the Los Angeles courtroom at Masterson's trial on three rape charges.

Joe Russo almost broke Twitter when he said that technology is moving with such momentum that we should be expect AI-generated films and TV shows in the very near future. Not only was kind of a questionable thing to say with a potential writer’s strike looming on the horizon, but, well, recent Russo productions like “The Gray Man” haven’t exactly given anyone hope for the future of screenwriting.

A 'stylish' blazer from Matalan has got shoppers talking as it’s said to be a reasonably priced dupe of one by French luxury fashion house Chanel. Fashion lovers who have bought the blazer were obsessed with its 'classic' look - and it costs just £36.

Caught in the crosshairs. Mauricio Umansky is opening up about how his wife Kyle Richards’ feud with Lisa Vanderpump affected his rapport with the restaurateur’s husband, Ken Todd.

Josh Broadwell Five years after the end of “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” Cal Kestis’ friends are scattered across the galaxy dealing with their own demons, while the young Jedi Knight runs guerrilla strikes against key Imperial targets. Reality tore his dreams of resistance into tatters of resentment, and he’s left trying to find a purpose for his life in “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” — a journey of surprises that improves on the original in every way. However, like Cal himself, it still falls short of its full potential. Cal’s story takes some unpredictable turns that end in intriguing possibilities for a third game. Much like the hero, developer Respawn Entertainment recognizes that it has little recourse against the Empire and its entrenched position in the galaxy and “Star Wars” canon, so both turn inward instead. Cal still fights the Imperials when he can, but “Survivor” is less about making a difference against an oppressive Empire and more about finding a place to call home.

With over one million discounted seats up for grabs, the domestic sale offers discounted rates for a range of national locations.

So often thought of primarily as the big lug who was so dramatically dispatched by Muhammad Ali in the famous “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire in 1974, George Foreman is the main event in Big George Foreman. While there is plenty of boxing here to satisfy sports fans, the film is mild-mannered and genial to a fault as it charts the life of a dirt-poor Texas kid with a devastating punch whose public image transformed over the years from hulking bogeyman to that of a good-natured businessman and man of God.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Biopics about star athletes or artists tend to have the same broad shape: the rise to achievement and fame, the fall from triumph (often fueled by some combination of addiction and ego), the restoration to a harder-won glory. A great biopic, like “Get On Up” or “I, Tonya,” will tease a profound portrait of the subject out of that form; a middling one will oversimplify the subject just to hit the right beats. But then there’s a film like “Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World.” That’s not a movie title — it’s the title of a parable. And it’s well chosen, since “Big George Foreman” is about a life that feels so outlandishly ready-made for the ups and downs, the lessons and inspirations, of the superstar biopic genre that you don’t even have to mess with it. The real George Foreman has, in effect, already scripted it for you.

Imagine a New York where construction workers tap dance on steel girders high above the city, sorta like that famous photograph you’ve seen a million times, and where kindly landladies who once played Carnegie Hall might tutor a young Holocaust refugee to a Julliard scholarship, and breezy jam sessions do away with generations of friction between races, genders and sexual identities. You’d go there, right?

Naveen Kumar If there is a megawatt star in “New York, New York,” the new musical from Broadway titans John Kander and the late Fred Ebb (with additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda), it’s right there in the title. Aside from the occasional f-bomb and pantomimed scurry of rats, the show that opened at Broadway’s St. James Theatre is a love letter to Manhattan so unabashed that its vibe might be best expressed in cityscape and heart-eye emojis. Cynical? These New Yorkers? Fuhgeddaboudit! Though inspired by the 1977 film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli, “New York, New York” is more accurately described as a musical-length rhapsody on the dreams crooned out in its title song, made famous by Frank Sinatra and naturally performed here as a big-band finale turned audience singalong. A crowded cast of characters has come to chase their dreams, and most of them want to be musicians. 

Billboard Dance Club charts, he and Bailey have found precious few opportunities to work together again.“He came back to D.C. when I did the Tracks reunion at Town years ago,” says Bailey, co-owner of D.C.’s dearly-missed Town Danceboutique.

Just in time for Melania Trump‘s birthday… her husband’s rape trial began in earnest!

New York, New York,” which opened Wednesday night at the St. James Theatre, is akin to being stuck on the tarmac at LaGuardia. You can spot the city’s stunning skyline taunting you from across the river — “I want to be a part of it!” you think — but then nothing happens for hours on end, as you’re silently trapped there in your uncomfortable and expensive seat.And just like the elation and relief of finally deplaning, the best part of the show comes at the very end when the cast finally sings “Theme From New York, New York.” We clap for our local anthem and get to go home. Start spreading the news — I’m leaving today!  “New York, New York” is a show that honestly hurts to dislike.

Wow. This story is the kind of farce so unbelievable you’d just never buy it as a TV mystery plot. Unfortunately this man and the horrible accusations against him are all too real…

Fugitive rape suspect Nicholas Rossi gave a bizarre TV interview in the US where he flopped around to 'prove' he couldn't walk.

Lise Pedersen A group of Ukrainian filmmakers have won the top industry award at Swiss international documentary film festival Visions du Réel with their project “The Days I Would Like to Forget,” divided into three chapters, each of which will explore a different phenomenon of war. Filmmakers Alina Gorlova (“No Obvious Signs,” “This Rain Will Never Stop”), Maksym Nakonechnyi (“Butterfly Vision,” “This Rain Will Never Stop”), Simon Mozgovyi (“Salt from Bonneville,” “The Winter Garden’s Tale”) and Yelizaveta Smith (“Solitude,” “Butterfly Vision”) of independent Ukrainian production company Tabor were awarded the Vision du Sud Est prize, handed out to the best project from the South (Africa, Latin America and Asia) or Eastern Europe.

Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s 1958 novel “The Pledge” has proven to be especially durable to adaptations over the years. More well-known of these is Sean Penn’s 2000 film “The Pledge,” a grisly Jack Nicholson starrer that, if anything, is perhaps remembered of the promise that Penn held as director in the early aughts before tumbling down the rabbit hole of political melodrama.

Joshua Alston “Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read. Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion, and all at a lazy river’s pace. That’s all the more disappointing because of how effective it is as a psychological thriller and a character study. Those who prepared for the bait-and-switch by reading the novel will take to the series just fine, as will anyone weary enough of mysteries that they’ve given up attachment to the final reveal. But those who visit “Saint X” expecting a more straightforward narrative might lose interest before it reveals its charms.

John Mulaney found an unexpected refuge. The 40-year-old comedian, who did a two-month stint in rehab back in 2021, found himself in search of a place to live when he came to Los Angeles after getting clean and sober.On Tuesday's episode of , Mulaney revealed that he spent several weeks in the late-night host's guest house after his time in rehab. Mulaney shared that over the years Kimmel had frequently offered up his guest house for anyone who might need it.«Most people have homes, so they take that and go, 'Oh, Jimmy, you're a mensch.' I must have filed it away.

A post shared by Tahereh saeedi (@taherehsaidii)The image indicates the first time the director and political figure behind “The White Balloon,” “The Circle,” “Taxi” and most recently “No Bears” has left Iran since he was sentenced to a 20-year travel and filmmaking ban in 2010 for “making propaganda against the system” — a directive that to this point has not slowed his directing career but has held him to the nation’s borders. In July 2022, Panahi was arrested and imprisoned after he protested the arrest of fellow filmmakers Mohammad Rasoulof and Mostafa Al-Ahmad, who were detained for questioning the government response to a building collapse that left 40 dead.

For wearisome reasons, the World War II cinema canon focuses mostly on the same handful of European nations — Germany, France, Italy, and England — and spares little room for others. This is a mildly annoying habit that the movies will inevitably self-correct; the world happens to be pretty big and the war was fought across all its corners, so we’ll never run out of stories to tell about it.

No matter who you are or what you do, day-to-day life can get pretty overwhelming at times and taking a trip to a spa makes for the perfect antidote. But, it’s not just us humans who can benefit from a little TLC in the form of a relaxing spa retreat or pamper session - our four legged canine friends can too. Given that we're a nation of animal lovers, dogs are often more pampered than their owners! So, what better way to indulge your four-legged friend than with a stay at a five-star country hotel? Our OK! reporter has tested out the one location that's top dog when it comes to providing the perfect sanctuary for you and your pooch, and reveals the other hound-friendly hotspots deserving a visit… Ellenborough Park, Gloucestershire This has to be one of the most dog-friendly places in the UK.

Courtney Howard Deciding when is the right time to conceive a child is a huge decision for anyone, let alone the career-minded woman at the center of “Clock.” Writer-director Alexis Jacknow amps up the anxiety by blending science and religion into paranoia-soaked mayhem, conjuring resonant emotion and haunting menace in this psychological horror film about an unconventional route to reproduction. Like a taut, “Rosemary’s Baby”-inspired “Black Mirror” episode, the film’s defiant sentiment that society should stop pressuring women to procreate is bold, brutal and bloodier than a pregnant woman’s bloody show. Ella Patel (Dianna Agron) has it all: a gorgeous modern home in the suburbs, a fulfilling career as an in-demand interior designer and a robust sex life with hunky husband Aiden (Jay Ali), who’s training to be a doctor but is always on call for her needs. That she’s never felt the urge to add a child into the equation rankles her aging father Joseph (Saul Rubinek), who frequently lays on the guilt to convince her to carry on the family’s religious birthright and Holocaust-surviving bloodline. Even Ella’s pregnant best friend Shauna (Grace Porter) would like to see her become a mother.

With wedding season fast approaching, guests are on the hunt for a bargain dress that will mark the occasion.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Dissident Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s travel ban has suddenly been lifted after 14 years, allowing the acclaimed auteur and his wife Tahereh Saeedi to reportedly leave Iran for an undisclosed location. Saeedi on Tuesday night posted a picture on Instagram showing her arriving with her husband at an undisclosed airport. It is captioned: “After 14 years, Jafar’s ban was cancelled and finally we are going to travel together for a few days…” Panahi, 62, was temporarily released from prison last month after going on a hunger strike to protest “the illegal and inhumane behavior” of Iran’s judiciary. He was out on bail.

Holidaymakers were hit with travel chaos at East Midlands Airport this month after IT problems and staff shortages led to passengers missing flights. Almost 100 people were left at the departure gates and told they were "too late to board".

With summer finally just around the corner, we know we’re not the only ones who are excited about finally being able to swap our jumpers for summer dresses and make the most of the warmer weather. Midi dresses are the perfect item when it comes to dressing for the season, thanks to the lightweight material that helps you keep cool and the effortless style that makes them easy to throw on and go.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In college one night, I got very stoned and read T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland.” I was gripped by it, and felt I understood it — a feat I’ve never come close to accomplishing since. Yet I don’t think I was under some delusion about having glimpsed the poem’s essence. Eliot was a mystic doomsayer whose verse was torn, as if by shrapnel, with fragments of misanthropy and heartbreak. He channeled the despair of the 20th century but did it with a glint of rapture (to contemplate it was to be alive). To connect with his poetry, you almost need to leave rationality behind, to give yourself over to the experiential quality of Eliot’s words. I think the reason I could grasp Eliot while stoned is that I forgot I was reading “poetry,” forgot that I was facing stanzas arranged in elegant pieces on a page. Instead I was living each word, each phrase, as its own moment.

Frank Rizzo Friends come and go. Some stay throughout our lives while others, however significant for a time, fade into the haze of memory yet always linger within us. In “Summer, 1976,” the new Broadway play by David Auburn (“Proof”) about a short-yet-significant friendship, Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht — two of the most accomplished and compelling actors around — create a pair of indelible characters looking back at their brief relationship during a long-ago season. (The title tells you exactly when.) Sure to have future life on other stages, the play is an insightful and engaging two-hander that will have audiences pondering the nature of friendship, the values we place on it, and even how well we really know each other.
