Lover

Deeply heartfelt and revealing letters from Eric Clapton to Pattie Boyd while she was married to George Harrison are to be sold at auction, laying bare one of rock’s most notorious love triangles.Boyd was a model and an icon of swinging London in the 1960s, marrying Harrison in 1966 after meeting him on the set of Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night – she claimed he wrote the Beatles ballad Something about her, though he later denied it. Towards the end of the decade Harrison and Clapton began writing music together, and…

Ariana Grande has built such a mighty pop legacy over the past decade as one of the most consistently kicky hitmakers around — but also as one of the weirdest minds in the game. “Yes, And?” is her Number One comeback, a disco rage-queen anthem that raises expectations for her long-awaited return, Eternal Sunshine. It’s a brilliantly nasty manifesto to kick off the new Ariana era. She’s just hit her thirties, wrapping up her Saturn return, and she’s making music after a four-year layoff. But she’s got some nonholistic…

Yuan Thompson and her husband have been together since 2008, and while at first she believed they could be soulmates — they had that initial spark, anyway — she says it was dedication and tough work that made them a lasting couple."We definitely enjoyed each other when we first met. We had a super-fun summer, so we decided to stay in touch after that. But honestly, it took seven years of long-distance relationship and lots of hard work for us to eventually be together," Thompson, 38, told CBC News from Ottawa."We all have…

William Bell tribute will appear on duo's upcoming 'Ohio Players' LP The Black Keys are ready for Valentine’s Day (or, more accurately, the Day After Valentine’s Day) with their cover of William Bell’s “I Forgot to Be Your Lover.” The two-and-a-half–minute apology recreates the song faithfully (and “faithful” goes a long way, as the Keys’ lovers will remind them), evoking the soulful regret Bell originally sang for recognizing he had become an inattentive, self-absorbed oaf. The song finds Dan…

When we’re feeling under the weather, our job is the last thing we want to think about. However, as much as we want to rest and recover, not all companies and bosses think that we should.A few days ago, Redditor Getinloserufo made a post on the subreddit ‘Petty Revenge‘ remembering the time when she worked at a call center and her manager threatened to fire her if she took a sick day.The employee was forced to oblige. But she did find a way to get back at the lady.This call center employee was denied a much-needed sick…

You can’t quite explain the feeling of being gifted jewelry — partly because it’s hard to quantify a personal sentiment but also because when gifted the right thing, it’s like the other person sees you in totality. Suddenly, this tiny gift has become a personification of who you are. Sounds magical, right? “Thoughtful and personal gifts always have an extra special…

She runs such a tight ship — there are rarely ever hiccups in her performances from herself or her dancers. But during a recent tour stop in Rio De Janeiro, a mild disruption came courtesy of none other than Swift’s bejeweled Christian Louboutin shoes. The musician opens each show with the Lover era, kicking…

“Take no prisoners — peacefully,” Carlos Santana sometimes tells his bandmates before taking the stage. “I don’t like to coast. I don’t like to rope-a-dope,” Santana says. “I want to get in the middle of the ring and knock the sucker out. That way the referee can’t steal the fight from me.” Santana, 75, can still whip a crowd into a frenzy like few others. He’s been doing it since he stormed onto the San Francisco scene in the late ’60s. He left the Woodstock audience dazed and stunned before the first Santana record came…
