Coleman Domingo similarly finished off his billowing Willy Chavarria suit with black-rimmed eyes and a drooping bunch of wistful white lilies. Barry Keoghan's Burberry suit came with a satin necktie, top hat and three watches.

As Gen Z would say, she was bed rotting. Lounging in bed for more than a day or two is concerning and could point to different mental health issues, Gold said. This sort of behavior has been linked to symptoms of depression and anxiety, among other mental health illnesses, Gold added. Activities beyond bed rottingBed rotting can allow you to isolate yourself, ignore your feelings, and possibly prevent you from participating in self-care activities that can help you, Gold said. Therapy can help you learn new coping skills, get to the root cause of your bed rotting and determine if there is some mental health issue going on, Gold said.

CNN —For years, the demo tape that launched Prince’s storied career had been tucked away in an attic of the home of the music executive that first signed him. Now, music enthusiasts and Prince fans worldwide have a chance to own the tape that landed the Minneapolis superstar his first record contract as it goes up for auction, according to Boston-based auction house RR Auction. The demo, recorded in 1976 and still in its original custom packaging, is part of the Marvels of Modern Music auction that ends on Thursday. The demo tape remains in its original packaging. RR Auction“When I saw (the demo tape), I knew exactly what it was,” Gold said.

☆ Nina Gold on creating film stars, audition tapes, and why she'll never act
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Thomas Page | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

This is the same Nina Gold who’s made a successful career casting some of the defining films and TV shows of this century. “I still don’t really understand what it is that makes acting good,” she says. For “Bad Sisters’” smarmy, abusive antagonist John Paul, Gold cast Claes Bang. For Gold and her team – rising to six people, depending on projects – it’s a lot of logistics and audition tapes. Gold cast Taylor-Johnson in his breakout role as John Lennon in “Nowhere Boy” (2009) at age 18-20, she guesses, but had been auditioning him since about the age of nine.

☆ US wants a recall of 67 million airbag inflators, but the manufacturer disagrees

New York CNN —The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is calling for an immediate recall of 67 million airbag inflators due to a dangerous defect, the agency said in a letter to ARC Automotive, a major manufacturer of the component. The 67 million airbag inflators that NHTSA wants recalled were all produced in the 18-year period prior to January 2018, when ARC installed equipment to help inspect inflators, according to the company. The airbag inflators are used by at least 12 vehicle manufacturers, but NHTSA did not specify which ones. “Airbag inflators that project metal fragments into vehicle occupants, rather than properly inflating the attached airbag, create an unreasonable risk of death and injury,” the agency said in the letter. “None of the 918 inflators ruptured in the tests,” Gold wrote in response to NHTSA’s request for a recall.

☆ The busiest port in America is no longer on the West Coast
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Vanessa Yurkevich | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Since August, imports into the two major West Coast ports – Los Angeles and Long Beach – have declined. That cargo is now flowing into Gulf Coast ports like Savannah and New Orleans, and East Coast ports in New York and New Jersey. Around 20,000 dockworkers at West Coast ports, including Los Angeles and Long Beach, have been working without a contract since July 1. The jam at the West Coast ports delayed Americans getting goods and sent prices higher as demand outpaced supply. But until the labor dispute is resolved on the West Coast, it will be a challenge to lure importers back.

The Broadway play as envisioned by the director Sam Gold, however, is lush; the set, a jewel box, with brassy, Trumpian accents. “Glenda is so lean, and I don’t just mean that physically,” the actor Elizabeth Marvel, who plays Goneril, told me. Jackson is the smallest person on stage, but you won’t notice it — she arrives cascading over the language, dominating it. “Glenda is going to do something very intense, very special, very big,” he said. Glenda Jackson is going to endure this, and you’re going to witness it.”For most of its history, this ritual has been considered too traumatizing for the stage.
