The new material comes after a difficult year personally, including an abrupt breakup in April—though that doesn't necessarily mean every lyric is a coded message. Fans are, of course, free to…

NetflixSave StorySave this storySave StorySave this story Morally complex and full of memorable performances, Netflix’s adaptation of East of Eden has quickly become one of the year’s biggest TV hits. The adaptation of John Steinbeck’s 1952 novel, created by Zoe Kazan (whose grandfather Elia Kazan directed the first onscreen interpretation of the book in 1955), centers Steinbeck’s multigenerational saga on the book’s most controversial character, Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh), exploring her agency and evil from a different perspective. Pugh’s performance is hands down the most memorable of the show, enhanced by her hair and makeup that serve as visual markers…

Black BearSave StorySave this storySave StorySave this story Believe the hype: Wicker is the wittiest, smartest, most romantic movie of the year. It’s also the horniest, and should we be surprised? The basketweaving lexicon is full of words like “tucking,” “waling”, and “rim,” with willow rods described as “featuring a thick butt end and a thin tip.” That’s crafty…and hot. The premise of the film is simple: In a medieval English village by the sea, a lonely fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) bucks the convention of marriage by contracting the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband made of wicker…

Whether it’s subtle streaks, uninhibited roots, or full-on salt-and-pepper, celebrities have been demonstrating that going gray doesn't have to mean choosing between dyeing over the evidence and going completely silver in a single salon sitting. And while there are plenty of famous faces (or scalps?) making a compelling case for silver blending, Olivia Colman has quickly and enviably emerged as the unofficial ambassador for the look. At the Los Angeles premiere of Wicker on October 20, Colman wore a…

Psoriasis is caused by immune system dysfunction, not external irritants, so you can use many topical products safely as long as they don’t cause skin damage. However, anything with the potential to cause trauma to the skin—like a potent acid or strong surfactant—could spell trouble. One reason topicals can lead to flare-ups is the Koebner phenomenon, which is when “local trauma stimulates the immune system to develop psoriasis in the traumatized skin,” says Shira Y. Wieder,…
