Met Gala’s Best Dressed: 16 Stars Who Understood the Assignment – Hollywood Reporter

On May 2, stars eschewed the outrageous costumes of past Met Galas and instead ran the gamut from quiet elegance to full-on drama on the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The night’s “Gilded Glamour and White Tie” dress code was interpreted in myriad ways from attendees who ranged from co-host Blake Lively to Cardi B, Maude Apatow, The Gilded Age‘s Louisa Jacobson — or the woman that caused the gala’s biggest fashion and social-media frenzy in what was the night’s final red-carpet moment, Kim Kardashian, wearing that Marilyn Monroe dress and accompanied by Pete Davidson. With this fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute positioned around its latest exhibition, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” many guests opted for looks that honored an Amer...

This Is Us Recap: Season 6, Episode 14 — Miguel – TVLine

This week, This Is Us viewers finally got the Miguel backstory episode they’ve been hearing for years was in the works. And not only does the hour chronicle Miguel’s past, it also witnesses his passing: Jon Huertas’ character dies at the end of the hour. (For a statement from Huertas, click here.) Read on for the highlights of “Miguel.” A TOUGH MOVE | In flashbacks to Miguel’s childhood, we learn that his family moved to Pennsylvania to live with a cousin after Miguel’s father couldn’t find work in their native Puerto Rico.

The man of the house invited Miguel to watch Roberto Clemente and the Pirate...

Newer, fitter descendants of Omicron variant begin to drive their own coronavirus waves – CNN

Cases are trending up in most states and have increased by more than 50% compared with the previous week in Washington, Mississippi, Georgia, Maine, Hawaii, South Dakota, Nevada and Montana.

Average daily hospitalizations are up about 10% since last week, according to data collected by the US Department of Health and Human Services. ...

COVID worsens asthma in children; booster after infection not as beneficial vs Omicron – Yahoo News

By Nancy Lapid (Reuters) - The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review. COVID-19 worsens asthma in children Asthma in children may worsen after an infection with the coronavirus, doctors warn. They studied nearly 62,000 U.S. children with asthma who had PCR tests for the virus in the first year of the pandemic, including more than 7,700 who tested positive. Infected children had significantly more asthma visits, hospitalizations, emergency inhaler use, and steroid treatments during the six months after their illness compared to children who tested negative and to their own prior history, researchers reported in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical...

BA.2.12.1 poised to become dominant in US, raising concern for future vaccines – Ars Technica

Enlarge / A medical worker arranges nucleic acid samples at a makeshift nucleic acid testing site on May 3, 2022 in Beijing, China. The omicron subvariant BA.2.12.1 is poised to become dominant in the US, currently accounting for an estimated 36.5 percent of all US SARS-CoV-2 cases, according to the latest estimates released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The subvariant's ascent is the latest rapid succession of omicron subvariants, from the sky-scraping peak of cases from the initial omicron subvariant BA.1 in January, to the current bump driven by the subvariant BA.2, which achieved dominance in March.
