For the past nine ( ninety??) months, it’s been impossible for me to concentrate on any new content — especially if it’s dramatic in any way. Which is why I’ve spent most of my ample free time revisiting old, reliable faves–The Vampire Diaries, Mad Men, The Real Housewives of New York City, Nora Ephron films.

In Best Stuff of 2020, we listed a handful of our favorite coffee table books published this year. The ones that helped us get outside our four walls and refill our creative gas tanks. We’re back again because, frankly, there were too many on our shortlist to ignore. Flipping the weighty pages of a book

Last week, Swae Lee lost a Louis Vuitton bag at LAX. Worse, the bag contained a hard drive of Swae’s music, so he offered a $20,000 reward. Then things took a crazy turn: an Instagram account with the handle @swaeleeharddrive surfaced, a skeptical Swae invited the user to go live on Instagram, and the account

“The Sopranos like everyone else. It’s perfect TV. RIP James Gandolfini the Gawd” – The Kid Mero “The Sopranos gets funnier the more I rewatch it. The episode where Christopher and Paulie get lost in the snow is so funny you forget they were there to murder someone” – Andrew Kuo (artist) “I did The

Situated on 22 oceanfront acres of Waikiki’s widest stretch of beach, opening day was a celebration. There was a Hawaiian blessing held with Hilton Hawaiian Village

Euphoria on HBO Max. Euphoria’s Christmas special could’ve been lightweight, a stopgap to keep the fans fed and the show refreshed in the minds of short-attention span streamers. Instead, writer-director Sam Levinson turned in a quietly devastating hour of conversation between Zendaya’s Rue and her sponsor, the brilliant Colman Domingo, that treats addiction with a

AmaWaterways Kristin Karst is the executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways, an awards-winning river cruise company created in 2002. It has a fleet of ships, sailing in Europe, Asia and Africa. Because 2020 has been such a complex time in all travel dimensions including river cruising,  JustLuxe wanted to discover new ideas and options

But what strikes me as hilarious about that scene is that—we were talking about the specific corner that Eric occupies, right? So we’re only used to seeing your character in one way. And because of what’s going on in that episode [where Eric is on thin ice at the company, depending on Harper to save

In the pits of quarantine, Stephen Bruner, the madcap maestro bassist known as Thundercat, thought he was going to spend a whole year on the couch. The tour surrounding his new album, It Is What It Is, a jazz-pop masterclass written in the wake of his friend Mac Miller’s untimely passing, was canceled. The future

“These Arms of Mine,” by Otis Redding. It all started with a series of calls, texts, and FaceTimes when my father turned 70. “What is a song that never gets old?” I asked him. “These Arms of Mine,” he replied without a second thought from California: “The whole album always makes me cry.” Soon enough,

The desire to travel has arguably never been greater. With the pandemic still ranging but with hopes of vaccines clearing the way for travel at some point in 2021, luxury consumers are more eager than ever to travel. Furthering that desire, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts recently announced its recent openings and upcoming opening planned

Earlier this week, an audio clip leaked from the London set of Mission: Impossible 7 of Tom Cruise screaming at the crew for violating COVID-19 protocols. “We are the gold standard!” he yells. “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing.” It’s

E-40: Hell yeah––he was a nigga spitting straight shit that I could relate to during my becoming-man-ish phase. I was an observer of the game, that fly on the wall who would talk to the OGs. I was comedy too at the same time; I had a sneaky comedy to me. [But] your life starts

I think [we wanted] to show her as a woman of accomplishment. That’s her tent show that she’s traveling in. She is the boss of that. She has a strong connection with the audience. You see it in the very beginning: people are lined up and it’s Black hands putting coins into other Black hands.

Everyone’s home is different, so everyone’s favorite chocolate chip cookie is different, too. Chloe and I practically started with a cookie. We met while studying abroad in London. On our first day there, I’d walked to an outpost of Ben’s Cookies, a local chain of biscuit makers. I returned to the flat I shared with

When I heard the news that New York was going to be hit with its first major snowstorm of the season, one that could result in over a foot of snow and potentially knock out the power, I prepared in the most pragmatic, survival-minded way possible: I pulled out my Lord of the Rings extended

Offset rose to fame as a member of hip-hop powerhouse Migos, but he has since established his own identity, releasing a Grammy-nominated solo album, Father of 4, in February 2019. He’s stepping into fashion design with a capsule collection within Chaz A. Jordan’s Laundered Works Corp. at this upcoming Paris Fashion Week. And he will
