Pink 2026 Tony Awards: The Host’s Best Moments

Pink 2026 Tony Awards: The Host’s Best Moments

Pink returned to the Moulin Rouge for a star-studded opening to the 2026 Tonys, singing theater-themed lyrics to her hit “Lady Marmalade” cover from the movie musical’s soundtrack. The singer began, though, by honoring a different, older musical: Peter Pan. Suspended high above the stage and twirling around, Pink sang “I’m flying” before Neil Patrick Harris interrupted her to wonder why she was performing such a dated show. “The flying twinks are all vampires now,” Harris said, referencing top Tonys nominee The Lost Boys, which went into the night up for 12 awards. “I just want to show how much I love theater even though I’ve never been on Broadway,” Pink explained, as she flipped upside down, showing off some of her trademark acrobatics. “I’m just concerned people might be like, ‘Why’s Pink hosting the Tonys?’” She belted a couple of lines from Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and Wicked, lifting Harris off the ground with her legs during “Defying Gravity” from the last show. Ultimately Harris encouraged Pink to just be herself, “the …

Making Street Finds Into ‘Frozen Moments’

Making Street Finds Into ‘Frozen Moments’

The latest show by Gedi Sibony continues the artist’s practice of making enchanting assemblage sculptures out of the most minimal means, and of making paintings that rely on such restrained gestures that they’re barely there. The press release for “The Invisible Point,” his eighth show at New York’s Greene Naftali since 2008, consists of just four sentences, explaining that his process is “powered by an intuitive momentum,” that the show includes “objects drafted from remnants and castoffs,” and that landscapes depict “interacting beings.”  Related Articles And then it goes cosmic: “The extended space of objects and the imagined realm interact by offering confirmation across the divide,” it concludes, “gesturing toward the mystery that humbles us.” The strength of Sibony’s work is the way that he can make magic out of nothing materials—including, in this case, wooden bookshelves found at trash dumps or on the street, broken plant stands, scraps of wire, and a broomstick—thereby extending a tradition stretching from Cubist collage to assemblages by artists like Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Richard Tuttle.  I first …

How true is Star City? Wildest moments of the Soviet space race revealed

How true is Star City? Wildest moments of the Soviet space race revealed

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead for Star City episodes 1 and 2. Secrets, surveillance, surviving in the wilderness alongside bears and wolves – the first two episodes of Star City have it all. But just how true is the new Apple TV drama? The For All Mankind prequel takes us back to the 1970s to imagine what might have happened had the Soviet Union won the space race and never stopped venturing out into the stars, delving into the lives of the cosmonauts, engineers and intelligence officers at the heart of the space programme. But, while creators Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi clearly let their imaginations run wild for the series to invent a story around the Soviets beating the Americans to the Moon, they also revealed that a fair amount is plucked straight from Soviet history. So, to sort the fact from the fiction, Radio Times broke down episodes 1 and 2 with Asif A Siddiqi, one of the world’s leading experts on the Soviet space race. Here’s his verdict! Cosmonauts leaving for space without …

Party dresses to muddy boots: Kate Moss’s best fashion moments | Fashion

Party dresses to muddy boots: Kate Moss’s best fashion moments | Fashion

There are models, there are supermodels and then there is Kate Moss. Scouted aged 14 while waiting for a flight at New York’s JFK airport, the Londoner quickly went on to define the fashion aesthetic of the 90s. There have been countless magazine covers including 43 issues of British Vogue, scads of advertising campaigns spanning Calvin Klein to Chanel and Tom Ford and hundreds of catwalk moments including, most recently, a thong-baring appearance at Demna’s Gucci debut. She’s been sung about by Pete Doherty and Playboi Carti, sculpted by Marc Quinn and painted by Chuck Close, Banksy and Lucian Freud. The latter is now the subject of a new film, Moss & Freud. Directed by James Lucas and executive produced by Moss, it explores the model’s friendship with the then – 80-year-old painter during 2002 when she sat, pregnant, for him. That lifesize naked portrait later sold for £3.5m. Ahead of the film’s release on Friday, our writers reflect on their Mossy memories from the nineties to now. ‘She looks like a renaissance cherub’ Moody …

Of course, many of these tales have long-been cemented into rock ‘n roll lore, but with a history as colourful as the Stones’, …

Festivalgoers have revealed the moments they look forward to most | UK | News

Festivalgoers have revealed the moments they look forward to most — from finding a freshly cleaned loo and a bar tent with no queue, to forming a random three-day friendship. A poll of 1,500 festival fans found their standout memories include a surprise guest being brought on stage, finally hearing the song they’ve been waiting all weekend to hear live, and the crowd singing the same lyric in unison. Watching the sunset, and waking up to music already playing, were also voted among their favourite moments. More than two thirds said festivals have created some of the most memorable moments of their lives, while 47% agreed that being able to capture moments on their phone makes the experience feel complete.

Why your brain needs plenty of “Aha!” moments

Why your brain needs plenty of “Aha!” moments

What does an “Aha!” moment do to your brain? Harold M. Lambert/Lambert/Getty Images Last week, my editor, Chelsea, said something that stopped me in my tracks.  She was worried about the ubiquity of AI, but not for the normal journalistic reasons: job losses, plagiarism, dull prose, etc. It was the possibility that by using AI, she might be sacrificing one of life’s most reliable small pleasures – the daily joy she gets from having an “Aha!” moment. “For me,” she says, “it’s almost a physical feeling, something spreading across my brain.” She wondered what might happen if we start outsourcing an increasing amount of our idea generation to AI before wrestling with it ourselves. Would we get fewer dopamine hits that come with figuring things out? And if those “Aha!” moments become rarer, what else might our brains be losing? It turns out those “Aha!” moments are indeed giving us more than just small pleasures; there is growing evidence that they change our brain entirely, shaping what we learn and remember, and perhaps even play …

Stephen Colbert’s Best ‘Late Show’ Moments: Trump, Obama, More

Stephen Colbert’s Best ‘Late Show’ Moments: Trump, Obama, More

Colbert’s final Late Show episode also marked the end of the franchise launched by former host David Letterman in 1993. Letterman, who himself weighed in on the Late Show cancellation, calling it “pure cowardice” on CBS’ part, previously stopped by Colbert’s show as a guest in 2023 in his first time on The Late Show since he retired in 2015. During their conversation, they compared notes on their respective experiences hosting the CBS late night program. And Colbert recalled how he’d asked for Letterman’s advice, which led to the current host’s desk being on the other side of the stage, and made a specific request. “I asked if there was a place to hide … from my producers,” Colbert said. “You said, ‘Yes … it’s great because it’s close enough you can hear the producers calling for you, and they won’t know where you are.” “They’ve never found me,” Colbert continued. “But the secret might be they’re not looking. They might not care if I show up.” “My problem was I couldn’t hide from anybody, …
