Thirty-Two Years Ago, Mariah Carey and I Were in the Same Magazine. This Week, I Finally Got to Tell Her

Published by Sam Flores

“It’s kind of like a long sheath of black fabric,” she told me. (Indeed, it was.) “And I like these Louis Vuitton shoes,” she added, holding up the silver-and-black-monogram pointed pumps that sat next to her feet. “I don’t usually like a pointed toe.” I asked about her summer plans and what projects she has coming up. “I have a couple shows and things to do, but that’s even more toward Christmas,” she said. “I think I’m going to Italy, which will be a fun time. I love Italy. Capri is my favorite place.” Mariah Carey Photographer Hunter Abrams Fans have been anticipating the 25th anniversary of Carey’s film Glitter; she recently announced that the movie will get a deluxe reissue. I asked what she could tell me about it, and she said she’ll work with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for it once again. The movie has become something of a cult classic, but as any Carey fan knows, it wasn’t always this way. “I used to be like, ‘Ugh, Glitter. I can’t,’” she …

2026 Milano Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony Brings Mariah Carey, JD Vance, and Vittoria Ceretti to Same Elaborate Fever Dream

2026 Milano Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony Brings Mariah Carey, JD Vance, and Vittoria Ceretti to Same Elaborate Fever Dream

Published by Sam Flores

Unlike the rain-drenched Paris Olympics opening ceremony, the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics have remained snowy, but clear and, as the NBC anchors put it, “quintessentially Italian.” Pops of color flooded the stage as dancers performed to Gioachino Rossini’s “William Tell Overture.” An actor in a black strapless gown dodged paparazzi flashbulbs while paying musical tribute to La Dolce Vita (1960), Federico Fellini’s landmark film. Then, three tubes of paint (colored blue, red, and yellow) came down from the sky and landed on the spiral-shaped stage, unfurling around dancers dressed in matching colors. The sequence nodded towards Milan’s La Scala opera house, as well as the sculptures of Antonio Canova, including Cupid and Psyche. Perhaps the most eye-catching element, though, was the appearance of three dancers wearing bobble heads to resemble famed opera composers Puccini, Rossini, and Verdi.

All The Stars Expected at the Opening Ceremony of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics

Published by Sam Flores

The countdown has begun. We are now just days away from the official opening of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, scheduled for February 6 at Milan’s San Siro Stadium. For the first time, the ceremony will be spread across multiple locations, uniting Milan, Cortina, and other cities in a choral project involving more than 1,300 cast members from over 27 countries, managed by at least 950 operators and technical staff. The Milano Cortina Foundation calls it “an event of global scope, the result of a choral project involving thousands of people and artistic, technical and organizational skills of the highest level.” At the center of the narrative is a simple but powerful concept: Harmony. According to Marco Balich, creative lead for the ceremony, “Harmony means transforming our values into images, sounds and shared emotions. It is a journey inside the colors of Italy, but it also speaks to the whole world.” The key word thus becomes the common thread of a show that unites cities and mountains, tradition and innovation, art and sport.
