In a new interview, she listed the Hollywood stars she’d sleep with, admitted she misses “toxic obsessive love,” and credited her dad with healing her after the Ben Affleck split. Pause on that middle one. A 56-year-old woman, four marriages in, looks into a camera and asks for the thing that broke her. It’s easy to roll your eyes. Hasn’t she learned?

The Shortlands Tavern has been run by landlord Geoff Keane since 2012. One key transformation was the conversion of the former car park into a large beer garden, which Geoff said is a “real suntrap” and has previously won recognition at the Bromley in Bloom Awards. “It’s just a nice place to chill out – it’s looking lovely at the moment and we’ve got DJs coming in, so it’s good music and good vibes,” Geoff said. The beer garden, along with the pub’s interiors, will play a key role in its summer programme as the venue shows the World Cup.…

The best places to camp in California include Yosemite for granite cliffs, Big Sur for ocean bluffs, Joshua Tree for desert boulders, Redwood National and State Parks for ancient forests, Emerald Bay for Lake Tahoe views, and Catalina Island for coastal adventure.

State park campsites generally open on ReserveCalifornia six months in advance, while many federal campgrounds use Recreation.gov and…

Image Credit: Pexels According to the Entertainment Software Association’s 2025 Essential Facts report, 205.1 million Americans play video games for at least one hour a week, and 60% of U.S. adults now play, with the average player age at 36.

Games are no longer limited to long sessions or dedicated hobbyists. They have become one of the small, accessible habits people reach for when the day starts to wind…

Image Credit: Getty Images Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are done. After Bunnie said publicly they’d “been through hell,” after she named the infidelity out loud, after years of what looked like one of country music’s most ride-or-die love stories, the marriage is ending. And the takes are already flying. She forgave him too quickly. He never really changed. She should have left years ago. He should have begged harder. I want to slow it down. Because I’ve sat with a lot of couples who looked exactly like this from the outside. Public reconciliation. Public devotion. Tattoos, lyrics, anniversary posts.…

Image Credit: Variety via Getty Images David Beckham shut down an interviewer mid-question. The topic? His 27-year-old son, Brooklyn, his daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, and the family rift that’s been bleeding into headlines all year. What he said instead was quieter and a lot more revealing. “There’s a mountain to climb every day.” That’s not a press line. That’s a father describing what it feels like inside his nervous system. And anyone who has ever been frozen out by a grown child, or frozen out a parent, knows exactly what mountain he means. The Beckhams aren’t fighting about a wedding. Or a…
