'Good chance' One Direction reunion happening this year - but without one key member

The award-winning producer Ellen Kent returns in Spring 2022 with the International Opera Festival tour, with Tosca, Carmen and Madama Butterfly.

Iconic TV presenter Vernon Kay has the luxury of travelling the world in his role as presenter for The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. But the star admitted it is job as a busy and in-demand TV presenter does come with a downside – long stints away from wife Tess Daly and their two daughters, Phoebe, 17, and Amber, 12.

Tom Holland might be one of the busiest men in Hollywood right now, but he still makes time to show up for his girlfriend. Of course, his other half Zendaya is equally booked and busy, which probably makes it difficult to spend quality time together (ya know, when they’re not on a press tour together promoting the same film).

Not sweating the small stuff! After her tumble got caught on camera, Zendaya found humor in the situation.

There is a deep sadness and mourning a woman goes through when she is told she has little or no chance to have her own children. In the meantime, friends that never wanted kids get pregnant with the blink of an eye, celebrities get pregnant at the age of 50, people who don’t even want kids get pregnant — in short, it feels like everyone can get pregnant but you. This kind of sadness can keep you up at night, crying and angry at God, wondering what you did wrong in life to deserve this.

BUCHAREST, Romania -- Maksim Goldenshteyn recounts a story his grandmother once told him about how, as a 4-year-old child, she snuck out of a Jewish ghetto during World War II to retrieve her favorite dolls that had been left behind when her family was forcibly evicted from their home in occupied Soviet Ukraine.“She knew, even at that age, that because she had lighter hair and blue eyes, she could pass for a local Ukrainian girl,” said Goldenshteyn. “She put on a kerchief and slipped out of the ghetto.”It's one of the stories that Seattle native Goldenshteyn tells in his book, “ So They Remember,” which recounts — with a blend of intimate family memoir and historical research — the Holocaust in Transnistria, a territory in occupied southern Ukraine that was controlled by Romania, a close ally to Nazi Germany for most of the war.In that territory, where around 150 camps and ghettos operated, there played out a lesser-known but equally sinister chapter of the Holocaust, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were brutalized, exploited, and murdered.
