The New Season Of “The Crown” Spotlights Princess Diana, And It Doesnt Disappoint – BuzzFeed News

Anwar Hussein / Getty Images Lady Diana Spencer attends a fundraising concert and reception on March 9, 1981 in London. “Fairytales do not describe the day after the wedding, when the young wife lost in the corridors of the palace sees her reflection splinter, and turns in panicked circles looking for a mirror that recognises her,” wrote historical novelist Hilary Mantel in her 2017 Guardian essay about Princess Diana, “The Princess Myth.” In it, Mantel takes a two-pronged approach to Princess Diana’s legacy, dissecting the way the royal was presented to the public while making the case that the icon, in death, only exists “as what we made of her.” Similarly, a...

Angus Young: Eddie Van Halen Had a Very Tight Bond With Malcolm – Ultimate Classic Rock

Angus Young remembered the "very tight bond" his brother Malcolm had with Eddie Van Halen. The guitarist tells us in an exclusive interview that the two men connected when AC/DC and Van Halen played some Monsters of Rock concerts across Europe. Although Angus and Eddie spent some time together on the trek, Malcolm was the one who became closer to Eddie. “He liked hanging out, especially with Mal, because they could go out afterwards, to a bar or somewhere,” Angus says. “Or he’d go out with Brian and play a dart game. To me he was just full of life.” Because of their busy schedules, for years AC/DC and Van Halen kept missing each other out when they were out on the road, even when they shard a shared a bill. “In the ’70s even, I remember doing a Bill Graham show and they were on that with...

Emory health dean calls for mask mandate, blasts ‘leadership vacuum’ – Atlanta Journal Constitution

Across the state, adherence varies widely. The order bluntly prohibits gatherings of 50 or more people who are not distanced at least 6 feet apart. There are exceptions for critical or “transitory” gatherings, for example people working in a hospital or passing each other in an airport. Emory School of Medicine Executive Associate Dean Dr. Carlos Del Rio has condemned a pandemic "leadership vacuum" and called for the CDC to fill in the gap. Credit: contributed Credit: contributed But over and over the state has seen large, close gatherings, notably among GOP planned political events and liberals demonstrating or spontaneously celebrating. A spokesman for Kemp, Cody Hall, suggested that was an issue for law enforcement. “I would point you to the fact that all state and local law...

The COVID-19 pandemic hits new highs and new lows – The Verge

This week, COVID-19 headlines were split between cautious optimism and abject despair. On the positive side, Monday morning brought us a scrap of hope — claims from Pfizer and BioNTech that their vaccine candidate was highly effective. Their tests so far showed that it has an efficacy of about 90 percent, though that number could change with time. And before we break out the bubbly, there are still plenty of caveats to the news. Among the downer highlights: the full data hasn’t been released yet, and this happened in a clinical trial where conditions were more controlled than they will be in the real world. It has to be delivered in two doses, weeks apart, and it’s more fragile than frost on a sunny morning — it has to be stored at temperatures of -75 degrees Celsius (-103 degre...

Dave Grohl says new Foo Fighters album doesn’t all sound like single ‘Shame Shame’ – NME

Dave Grohl has said the upcoming new Foo Fighters album won’t all sound like new single ‘Shame Shame’. The band debuted the song on last week’s post-election episode of Saturday Night Live, and they also announced details of their 10th album, ‘Medicine At Midnight’. Showcasing an eccentric, funk-driven side of the band, Grohl has now insisted in a new interview that it’s not a representation of the album’s sound as a whole. “We wrote a lot of these songs to be played in stadiums — these big grooves, big choruses, big guitars,” Grohl told Spotify’s Global Head of Rock, Allison Hagendorf, on yesterday’s (November 13) Rock This podcast. “It was really sort of designed to be this big party album.” “We had looked back on all the stuff we’d done over the last 25 years like, ‘We’ve done...

Princess Diana would have gone back to Prince Charles in a heartbeat, royal biographer claims – Daily Mail

Princess Diana was on the 'best terms she'd ever been' with Prince Charles before she died - and would have gone back to him 'in a heartbeat' if he'd wanted her, a royal biographer has claimed. The late Princess of Wales, who died in a car accident in Paris in August 1997 at the age of 36, had also 'accepted' her ex-husband's love for Camilla Parker Bowles, according to Tina Brown, who penned The Diana Chronicles. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph's Camilla Tominey, Ex-Vanity Fair editor Ms Brown, 66, told how she and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, met with Diana for lunch at New York's Four Seasons Restaurant just over a month before she died. She recalled how Diana, dressed in a mint green Chanel suit, told her she and Charles enjoyed 'some laughs' together and discussed thei...

The Mandalorian: Bryce Dallas Howard Proves She Has a Big Future with Star Wars – Den of Geek

Stream your Star Wars favorites right here! Howard is particularly good at delivering satisfying homage. With “Sanctuary,” Howard gave us Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai on an alien planet. Written by Favreau, the episode has strong characterization and stakes for Din Djarin, with the peaceful town and the villager Omera symbolizing a life he could have if he gave up bounty hunting. The chemistry between Omera and Din, the scene-setting, and the action (this episode also introduces MMA fighter Gina Carano as Cara Dune) make it a strong showing. It’s not quite original, as it pulls from classic samurai films, Star Wars itself, and a host of other stories to create a battle of underdogs against a more highly mechanized enemy, but Howard’s direction — especially of the climactic nightti...
