When I read that first script for The Best Man [1999], I had never read a script that showed African Americans in all of these different ways. I could see myself in that movie, and up until then, I had never been able to see myself in a film with Black people in it....

Athleticism and camaraderie. Two of the core tenets needed to become a successful Division 1 athlete, as Akbar and Sheri Cook can tell you firsthand. And unfortunately for the married educators, they were also two critical detriments to their time on The Amazing Race 33. They commonly found themselves a step behind the other teams, leading to spats over Sheri slowing the team down. And while they were always able to stave off elimination, their chances of surviving curdled like a finely-made cheese on the island of Corsica....

Recent research suggests that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use in children ages 5 to 11 isn’t nearly as effective as it is for adolescents or adults: In a New York state data set that included more than 1 million minor vaccine recipients, the vaccine was 67 percent effective in preventing real-world infections in adolescents over 12 years old but just 11 percent effective in children ages 5 to 11....

Holiday, the Philadelphia-born jazz/swing singer nicknamed “Lady Day,” became famous first in the nightclubs of Harlem during the late 1930s, later recording solo and with big bands of the era. Her incendiary 1939 song “Strange Fruit,” about the epidemic lynching of Black men and women in the South, became a hit, and also her lifelong musical signature. It also put her in the crosshairs of the federal government, who saw Holiday and “Strange Fruit” as threats to the social order, a “musical starting gun for this so-called civil rights movement,” as one federal agent puts it in the movie....

Meanwhile, Rebecca‘s (Mandy Moore) disease appears to have progressed significantly, rewriting her fuzzy memories to the point where she seems to have forgotten that Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) ever died, putting her husband Miguel (Jon Huertas) in an extremely unpleasant position....

Restaurant Wars is a milestone on every season of Top Chef, a time when the cheftestants get the pressure of cooking to the best of their ability further weighted by creating a cohesive and effective pop-up restaurant experience.

Still, they weathered a rollercoaster ride at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After a stunning 3-0 loss to Sweden in their first game, the team snapped back with a decisive 6-1 win against New Zealand before their third Olympic match ended in a 0-0 tie with Australia. That draw against the Aussies was enough to earn USWNT a spot in the Olympics quarterfinals, and then on July 30, they got past the Netherlands in a nail-biter that ended in a penalty shootout to advance to the semifinals....

The artist they were all trying to land was 28-year-old Aaron Hines from San Antonio, Texas, who impressed the coaches with his performance of “Heartbreak Anniversary.” “Growing up, my mom would take us to church, and I remember being blown away by the musicians there,” Aaron said. “John Legend has played such an instrumental part in who I am as an artist. My first performance in front of an audience at the eighth-grade talent show was a John Legend song....

These worries are definitely legitimate, as 500,000 Americans have now died from COVID-19. But, when your anxiety and fear of the virus start to overtake your life, you could have a condition called coronaphobia. Researchers coined the term “coronaphobia” in a paper published in the Asian Journal of Psychiatry in December. It’s defined as “an excessive triggered response of fear of contracting the virus causing COVID-19.” It can lead to an excessive concern of symptoms, increased “safety-seeking behaviors,” stress over loss, and avoiding public places and situations—to a point that it interferes with your daily life....
