Huang, 33, writes spicy romance novels, many featuring billionaire love interests, like Alex Volkov in "Twisted Love" or Dante Russo in "King of Wrath." Huang also said she worked with alpha readers who read portions of her novel as it was in progress and provided feedback. She told BI that alpha readers are particularly popular with self-published authors, though traditionally published writers could benefit from them, too. Huang has a "core group" of alpha readers who have been reviewing drafts of her books since mid-2021 or early 2022. "I'll also ask my editors if they know anyone who can alpha read for certain topics, and they usually do."

Blake Lively’s hair is like a character unto itself in the new romantic drama “It Ends With Us.”Her thick mane shapeshifts with her role, Lily Bloom, a flower shop owner who falls in and out of love with an abusive neurosurgeon. Lively’s hair, dyed a soft ginger, is artfully messy when she gets her hands dirty starting up the store. You could say Blake Lively’s hair is a tool she uses to sell her performance, but her performance is also a tool she uses to sell her hair. Those who are impressed with her locks in “It Ends With Us” can learn from her Instagram that she recently debuted a line of hair-care products called Blake Brown. In many ways “It Ends With Us” is a brand-building exercise for Lively.

▼ + stars: | 2024-07-18 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

Rome Reuters —The remains of what appears to be a medieval palace where popes lived before they made the Vatican their home have been excavated in Rome prior to renovations for the 2025 Catholic Holy Year, or Jubilee, the Italian Culture Ministry said on Wednesday. The walls of the complex may have protected the Patriarchio, a monumental basilica envisaged by Emperor Constantine in the square outside the Archbasilica of St John Lateran. Italian Ministry of Culture/Reuters“This is an extraordinarily important find for the city of Rome and its medieval history, as no extensive archaeological excavations have ever been carried out in the square in modern times,” the ministry said. The area around St John Lateran is being spruced up ahead of the Jubilee, a year-long event starting in December that is expected to attract more than 30 million pilgrims and tourists to the Italian capital. During a Jubilee, Catholics can obtain special indulgences, or remission of their sins, if they fulfill certain conditions and do good works or make pilgrimages.

☆ 'Fly Me to the Moon' explores the ultimate space race conspiracy theory. Here's what's fact and fiction in the movie.
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-12 | by ( Ayomikun Adekaiyero | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Read preview"Fly Me to the Moon," Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum's new romantic comedy-drama about faking the moon landing, is fictional but draws on some true historical events. The White House eventually tasks Kelly with filming a fake moon landing in case the real one fails. Apollo 11 spaceship launch director Cole Davis (Tatum) opposes Kelly's plan, believing it will discredit NASA's efforts. This storyline leans into the conspiracy theory that NASA faked the US moon landing in 1969. But there's no evidence to suggests NASA or any network tried to fake the moon landing.

Archaeologists pictured with the statue, which was covered with soil in an ancient Roman sewer. There are a few fractures on the hands,” said Lyudmil Vagalinski, who led the team of archaeologists, adding that the statue was a Roman copy of an ancient Greek original.

☆ Karl Wallinger, Who Sang With World Party and the Waterboys, Dies at 66
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( Clay Risen | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

Karl Wallinger, a Welsh singer-songwriter who helped define college radio in the 1980s and ’90s as a member of the Waterboys and the founder of World Party, died on Sunday at his home in Hastings, England. His daughter, Nancy Zamit, confirmed the death but did not provide a cause. Mr. Wallinger suffered a brain aneurysm in 2001 that forced him to stop performing for several years. Following on the heels of the post-punk, new wave and new romantic movements of the early 1980s, Mr. Wallinger embodied something of a throwback to the classical pop and folk styles of an earlier era, with music and lyrics influenced by the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Though he rejected the label “retro,” onstage he looked like a stylish hippie, with long stringy hair and tinted round glasses that would have fit in at Woodstock.
