At twenty-five years old, Parvati Shallow was plunged into fame and fortune after becoming the million-dollar winner of the reality television series Survivor. But despite her success, the ghosts of her traumatic past, coupled with the harsh glare of the public eye, kept her locked in a survival cycle of fear and shame that sabotaged her self-confidence and eroded her self-trust.

Tyra Banks’s America’s Next Top Model was a cultural phenomenon with more than six million weekly viewers at its peak. Over its fifteen-year run, the show captured the glitz of the early aughts as well as its most toxic attitudes—from the glamorous but often questionable photo shoots to the cutting feedback from its highly respected if out-of-touch judges. Watching ANTM now, it feels impossible to imagine a show like this airing today, and as its fans have grown up, they’ve also begun to reckon with the enduring ways that the show has affected their body image and self-esteem.

Whether he's holding a pistol, an orangutan, or a boxing glove; whether he's facing down bad guys on a western street (Old West or new, no matter); staring through the lens of a camera; or accepting one of his thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture); he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name.

De-a lungul acestor pagini intime, la fel de sincere ca o conversație personală, Stone vorbește despre rolurile sale esențiale, despre prieteniile care i-au schimbat viața, despre cele mai mari dezamăgiri și realizările ei cu adevărat importante.

From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a preteen child actress.

Although he died at a heartbreakingly young age and appeared in only a handful of movies, James Dean revolutionized American manhood. As a celebrity and icon, he melded vulnerability with determination, sensitivity with strength, in a way that offered a bracing and—for some—threatening new vision of masculinity. His massive influence and the fascination he has always inspired are inseparable from his identity as a queer man whose complex sexuality shattered the norms of midcentury American society.

It began as a simple idea, the retelling of the four of us from Indiana’s musical adventures in the wild and chaotic West Coast of the mid-1960s for friends and family.

Chalamet is adored, not for who he is, but for what he represents: curated vulnerability, commodified depth, and the illusion of freedom. Chapter by chapter, the book unveils how Chalamet has been transformed ...

In a culture drowning in noise, Keanu Reeves remains an anomaly—a figure who speaks less and says more, who walks through the chaos of Hollywood with the quiet of a monk and the presence of a ghost. Neo and Nothingness: The Existential Life of Keanu Reeves is a scalpel-sharp, darkly funny, and deeply researched look at the man who has, without effort or agenda, become a reluctant icon.
