Lady Gaga, Lena Dunham and surrogacy: Why isn’t it causing a scandal in the United States? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
All three are well-known, globally recognized, and outstanding women in their fields. All three became mothers just days ago, almost simultaneously. All three had children without giving birth to them: one adopted, two used a surrogate. And all three, despite their different methods and the ways they told their stories, received the same warm congratulations. But are the three cases the same? In the United States, for a large majority, the answer is yes. On September 12 it became public, thanks
Madonna and Taylor Swift, queens of an MTV VMA ceremony steeped in nostalgia for Dolly Parton, Nirvana and George Michael (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been 42 years since MTV began honoring what it knows best and what, at the time, few people valued: music videos. Four decades have passed and much has changed in the industry. There is no self-respecting artist today who does not present their projects visually, especially in this internet era. A lot has changed since 1984, but only to grow bigger. On Sunday night, artists once again proved it. There were two queens of the night: Madonna and Taylor Swift, for their highly anticipated ret
‘Forgotten Island’ turns children’s animation into a song to friendship and roots: ‘Diversity makes us stronger’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is nothing a good plate of lechón (piglet) can’t achieve. So can a story that has been in the works for a decade and speaks of friendship, migration, change, roots and food (yes, lechón too), one that is animated and aimed primarily at children, yet carries a message not only for kids. It was over dishes like that and other traditional Filipino foods that Forgotten Island was cooked up for years. Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, who are friends, colleagues and something like compatriots,
‘Widow’s Bay’ makes history by sweeping the 2026 Emmy Awards in a night of surprises (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was 5.00 pm on a hot Los Angeles afternoon when the Emmy Awards began, an event the Television Academy has presented every year for 78 years. Three hours later the results were clear, when The Pitt was crowned best drama series and Widow’s Bay took top honors at a two-hour ceremony hosted for the first time by actress Mariska Hargitay, who shone in her role. The night — in which 20 awards were handed out (there had been two prior presentation ceremonies) — began with comedy, the most hotly co
A flop album, ‘Camp Rock’ and a place in Disney history: How the Jonas Brothers have stayed on top (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How wonderful failures can be, at times. Even though nobody likes them, of course, and they are not always positive, sometimes a stumbling block is the best way forward. Just ask the Jonas Brothers. Quite possibly, if their first album, released in 2006, had not been a complete disaster, they would never have become the band they are today. After 20 years of successes, breakups, new projects, unexpected triumphs and a few setbacks, as well as very different personal and romantic journeys, the ba
