The Great Soda Awakening

There’s never been a better time to have an emotional breakdown and decide that you can’t drink alcohol because it’s messing too much with your brain chemistry. That’s what happened to me last June—but no pity, please, because discovering the rich and varied new world of carbonated nonalcoholic drinks, many with enough nuance and intriguing flavor combinations to fill the void left behind by wine and spirits, was well worth the existential crisis.   I credit one drink with my soda awakening: Kimino’s sparkling ume juice, whose squat glass bottles I discovered one day, warm and rather lonely, on an out-of-the-way shelf at my local specialty grocer. My only other experience with ume, a fruit sometimes called “Japanese plum” that is genetically most...

Lucille Ball’s Daughter Defends Nicole Kidman Casting For Aaron Sorkin’s ‘Being The Ricardos’ – Deadline

Nearly hours after Deadline learned that Nicole Kidman is in negotiations to play Lucille Ball in Aaron Sorkin’s Being The Ricardos, social media users challenged the casting. On Sunday, Ball and Desi Arnaz’s daughter Lucie Arnaz set the record straight on who will play her mother. “Stop arguing about who should play it – ‘she doesn’t look like her, her nose isn’t the same she isn’t as funny,'” Arnaz said, poking fun at the complaints around Kidman’s casting. “Just trust us. It’s going to be a nice film and p.s. the voting is over.” The comedy legend’s daughter addressed the casting in a Facebook video, where she also detailed a great deal about the upcoming project for Amazon Studios. She clarified for viewers that the Sorkin title will not be an I Love Lucy reboot or anything...

This Bachelorette Contestant Asks Clare Crawley on a Date After Dale Moss Split – Yahoo Entertainment

Clare Crawley appears to have options following her surprising split from Dale Moss. Dale confirmed on Tuesday, Jan. 19 that he and Clare had parted ways, which came just hours after E! News exclusively revealed they were "taking time apart." As it turned out, it didn't take long for a familiar face from Bachelor Nation to shoot his shot with the former lead of The Bachelorette. Spencer Robertson, who was one of four men added to Tayshia Adams' group following Clare's exit with Dale, wrote on his Instagram Story on Jan. 19 just after news of the split broke, "Coffee? @clarecrawley." As fans recall, Clare was instantly enamored with Dale from the get-go, and so she opted to accept his marriage proposal and leave with him partway through season 16, rather than completing the show's typical ...

Lil Wayne & Kodak Black Pardoned by Donald Trump – Billboard

Carter's pardon was hardly surprising after the Grammy-winning artist inexplicably endorsed Trump for reelection last October and posed for a picture, which he was heavily criticized for on social media. "Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done," Carter wrote in a Twitter message that included the picture. It was on Dec. 23, 2019, that an anonymous tip led Miami police officers and federal agents to search Carter's jet when they found the loaded gun, in addition to reportedly cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, heroin, pain killers and prescription-strength cough syrup, along with nearly ...
