This Is Exactly When You Can Get the New Johnson & Johnson Vaccine – Best Life

The U.S. is currently in a race against the clock as states try to get as many Americans vaccinated before new variants begin to take over nationwide. Now, a very exciting new development this weekend is about to make that mission a bit easier: A third COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has been approved for emergency use in the U.S. Not only is it 100 percent effective against hospitalizations and deaths, but it's also administered in just a single shot, potentially doubling our progress at getting the coveted 70 percent to 85 percent of the population vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity. So, when will this new shot be available? Sooner than you think, experts say. Read on to find out when the J...

Chloe Zhao, second woman to win a best director Golden Globe, says slow success is key – CNBC

Chloe Zhao made history at the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, becoming only the second woman, and the first Asian woman ever, to win best director for her drama "Nomadland." The last time a woman took home the top directing prize was nearly four decades ago in 1984 when Barbara Streisand won for "Yentl." Zhao's nomination for the award was already history-making, as she was one of three women nominated for the best director trophy this year, alongside Regina King for "One Night in Miami" and Emerald Fennell for "Promising Young Woman." It was the first time more than one woman was nominated for the category in the award ceremony's 78-year history. A total of eight women have been nominated in the category since the Golden Globes began, CNN reports, including Barb...

Paris Hilton Recalls Cruel Treatment By David Letterman, Sarah Silverman – TooFab

"It was like he was purposely trying to humiliate me." Paris Hilton revisited a pair of uncomfortable public appearances from the time around her 2007 jail sentence: Sarah Silverman roasting her at the MTV Movie Awards the night before she checked in and David Letterman grilling her about her time behind bars when she got out. Both topics came up on the latest episode of Hilton's "This Is Paris" podcast, which featured an appearance from her sister, Nicky Hilton. After Nicky mentioned that she had just watched the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary, cohost Hunter March said the doc led to a lot of old interviews with young, female stars getting looked at in a new light -- including Hilton's Letterman appearance. In 2007, Hilton was sentenced for 45 days behind bars for viol...
