Nick Cannon recently opened up about feeling insecure during his six-year marriage to Mariah Carey. AdvertisementDuring their six-year marriage, Nick Cannon said he knew what people were thinking: "The kid from Nickelodeon is with Mariah Carey?" As a child star on Nickelodeon's "All That" and its spin-off "The Nick Cannon Show," Cannon was an avowed fan of Carey, who's 11 years his senior. Cannon praised Carey for being "understanding" and "evolved," even while he was struggling with his identity and career. Cannon is far from the only man who's admitted to being jealous of his wife's financial status.

Trump's lawyers are expected to argue that, for decades, Grant somehow neglected to copyright the sound recording, or "master," for "Electric Avenue." Trump's lawyers acknowledge that Grant copyrighted the sheet music 40 years ago. Trump's side may argue that even Grant has tacitly acknowledged that the sound-recording copyright for "Electric Avenue" was never properly nailed down. Two weeks ago, on August 15, Grant applied to the US Copyright Office "for a sound-recording copyright registration of Electric Avenue," a court filing says.

Fewer new-car shoppers are considering EVs for their next vehicle, according to JD Power, with shoppers citing a lack of access to charging infrastructure as a main reason for ruling out EVs. Brands that have leaned into hybrids saw better sales results in February. "Hybrids are just rockin,'" Toyota Motor North America's sales chief David Christ told Automotive News after it released its sales results last week. The Toyota RAV4 SUV is one of the more popular hybrids on dealer lots. Among American brands, Ford notched a 31.5% increase in hybrid sales, as these vehicles lured more new customers to the Blue Oval.

Now that she’s released the deluxe edition — in honor of her 78th birthday, on Friday! — Dolly Parton’s already sprawling double album “Rockstar” runs nearly three hours long and clocks in at an indefatigably rockin’ 39 tracks. “I know the game, you’ll forget my name,” she sings, with a slight ache in her voice. “And I won’t be here in another year, if I don’t stay on the charts.” Given that “Rockstar” became the highest-charting album of Parton’s career just a few months ago, that fate seems, blessedly, unlikely.

Sarah Pribis is a working actor who also makes TikToks explaining her range of jobs and pay. I had never done stand-in work before. The reasons that I've gathered that it was so much — because this is not the norm for stand-in work — is that it was a commercial job, and commercial rates for stand-in work are higher. I've built a career as a working actor and want to demystify the experienceI've been doing this since I was 18.
