NEW YORK, NY.- Shelley Duvall, whose lithesome features and quirky screen personality made her one of the biggest film stars of the 1970s and early 80s, appearing in a string of movies by director Robert Altman and, perhaps most memorably, opposite Jack Nicholson in The Shining, died Thursday at her home in Blanco, Texas. ...

LONDON.- The moulin is back. The rouge never left. The Moulin Rouge, the famed Paris cabaret, has restored its iconic windmill after its blades broke and fell to the ground in April. The construction was finished weeks before the Paris Olympics are set to begin and before the flame passes by on its relay route through Paris on July 15. We wanted to be ready for this special moment, said ... More | |

Joe Bonsall, tenor of the Oak Ridge Boys, dies at 76NEW YORK, NY.- Joe Bonsall, who for more than 50 years was the tenor voice of the Oak Ridge Boys, one of the most popular and enduring vocal groups in the history of country music, died Tuesday at his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He was 76. His publicist, Jeremy Westby, said the cause was complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the neuromuscular disorder also known as Lou Gehrigs disease. (Bonsall issued a statement in January saying that he was retiring from touring with the Oak Ridge Boys but would remain a member of the group.) Originally a Southern gospel quartet, the Oak Ridge Boys had 17 Billboard No. 1 country singles, as well as 17 more that made the country Top 10, after reinventing themselves as a country act in the early 1970s. The group, which has sold more than 41 million records worldwide, was formed ... More Megan Moroney sings a message about messy 20-something life: It's OK.NEW YORK, NY.- Budding country star Megan Moroney was 36 stories above Times Square last month waiting to meet some of her biggest fans, who were among the first invited to hear her eagerly anticipated second album, Am I Okay? As she prepared to greet her guests in the glass aviary atop the Hard Rock Hotel, Moroney admitted shed culled them via social media, group chats and meet and greets. They dont know I stalk them, she said after slipping into a cobalt minidress from Zara and a pair of metallic Balmain stiletto boots. Her hair teased into a butter-blond cloud, she joked, Its 20 pounds of hair and 10 pounds of makeup. Its a look her fans re-create to varying degrees, but theyre also drawn to the way Moroney embraces the moments most people airbrush out of their Instagram-perfect lives. One example is the closer of Am I ... More Galerie Urs Meile to open 'Wiedemann/Mettler: unexpected desire'ARDEZ.- Behind heavy, opaque curtains, spaces of longing and reverence, spaces of terror or spaces of desire and lust unfold in the theater or in the brothel, before the crime scene or the place reserved for the medical gaze, before the altar or the sanctuary... Throughout art history since Giotto, curtains have opened to reveal glimpses of heavenly hosts; often temptingly semi-transparent, curtains up to modern art continually pose the question of the relationship between inside and outside, inclusion and exclusion, concealment and revelation. In any case, the curtain is never an insurmountable barrier, but both boundary and mediator, a movable line between two worlds. Whoever steps through it is transformed. Behind the curtain, a heterotopic space opens up, separated from the outside and the before, yet simultaneously preserving ... More They called it 'improper' to have women in the Olympics. But she persisted.PARIS.- It was 1922, two years before the last time the Olympics were held in Paris. On a warm August day, about 20,000 people came to Pershing Stadium to watch 77 athletes in track and field, including a team from the United States. There was a parade of nations. There were world records. There were 27 journalists and news coverage around the world. And at the start, a 38-year-old woman named Alice Milliat welcomed the world to Paris. She was the founder of the International Womens Sports Federation, known in her native France as the Fédération Sportive Féminine International. Every competitor that day was a woman. I hereby declare the first female Olympic Games open, she said. Milliat was making a statement that echoes today. The male-dominated world of the mainline Olympics, busy preparing for the Paris Games ... More The American 'pope' of German ballet steps down after a long reignHAMBURG.- Its among the longest tenures of any director of an arts organization. Choreographer John Neumeier has been running the Hamburg Ballet for 51 years, transforming it from a provincial opera house troupe into an international vehicle for his work a prolific mix of abstract and storytelling ballets that draws fervent audiences at home and abroad. On Sunday, Neumeier will take his final bow as director, at the companys annual end-of-season Nijinsky Gala, at which extracts from 13 of his works will be performed. After that Argentine choreographer Demis Volpi will step into the role of artistic director. Neumeier is 85, which might seem like a decent age to retire. But choosing to go was difficult for him. It was a rational decision, not an emotional one, he said hesitantly in an interview in April at hi ... More Dolby Chadwick Gallery opens an exhibition of new work by Jennifer PochinskiSAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery is presenting No Shallow Pools, an exhibition of new work by Jennifer Pochinski. A figure cast in yellow, a purple shadow on the cheek, a brush of orange paint becoming a nose in one swift lunge toward the canvas. In this exhibition, each brushstroke aims to surprise. Pochinskis bold pigments and confident hand vie against the expected but feel instinctively true. Her intuitive palettes illuminate a Fauvist sensibility, with gestural mark-making and strident colors leaving the viewer transfixed and curious. Abundance echoes in these new works, redolent of rich landscapes and decadent dinners. In Girl Meets Boy, nude bodies are obscured by overgrown foliage. The human becomes a contemplative observer, inundated by the flourishing natural surround. In Birdman or Fish in the Sea, repetitive ... More New York Philharmonic chief abruptly steps downNEW YORK, NY.- Gary Ginstling, the New York Philharmonics president and CEO, abruptly resigned Thursday after just a year on the job, leaving the orchestra in limbo as it grapples with challenges including an investigation into its workplace culture after two players were accused of misconduct. His departure comes as the orchestras musicians and the administration are in heated talks over a new labor contract; the current agreement expires in September. The musicians have been seeking large wage increases. As the orchestra prepares for its 2024-25 season, it is facing another leadership void: It will not have a music director. Jaap van Zwedens six-year tenure comes to an end this summer, and his successor, star conductor Gustavo Dudamel, does not start in the role until 2026. The Philharmonic said that it would convene a transition ... More Can movies for grown-ups still sell tickets? 'Fly Me to the Moon' is a test.LOS ANGELES, CA.- Fly Me to the Moon is the kind of movie that isnt supposed to succeed in theaters anymore, at least if you listen to franchise-obsessed studio executives. The story is a period piece and completely original: In 1968, a government operative (Woody Harrelson) hires a marketing virtuoso (Scarlett Johansson) to convince the public and Congress that a troubled NASA can pull off its scheduled Apollo 11 moon landing. Stylish and devious, she clashes with the rigid launch director (Channing Tatum) and secretly as a backup, to be used only in an emergency arranges for a fake landing to be filmed on a soundstage. Whats the harm? Hollywood marketers will tell you that ticket buyers eschew movies that mash together genres. And Fly Me to the Moon is part drama, part comedic caper, part romance, ... More How creators are facing hateful comments head-onNEW YORK, NY.- When Taylor Swift released the album The Tortured Poets Department in April, Kacie Rose, a creator who typically makes upbeat travel content, posted a video of herself listening to one of the songs. The 15-second clip, which Rose posted to Instagram, showed her reaction: surprise and elation. She said she wanted to highlight a cool part of the song, and didnt think much more about it. But over the next few days, her video received a barrage of hateful comments, which attacked everything from her appearance to her mental health. Reopen mental institutions, one commenter wrote. Worst humans to ever exist, wrote another, apparently referring to her and Swift. There were predictions that Rose would be alone forever and even commands that she kill herself. ... More |
