"You can be racist but not deaf," the superstar defiantly told the world in the face of racist attacks while gearing up for the performance of a lifetime. The world took notice during the 2024 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in Paris this afternoon as French pop superstar Aya Nakamura strutted across a bridge over the Seine. Donning a gold metallic feather mini dress and a bold blonde bust down, the songstress belted out her smash hit single “Pookie” while accompanied by a live band helmed by France’s Republican Guard.

Rome — Six people, including two U.S. nationals, were believed to be missing Monday after a sailboat sank off the coast of the southern Italian island of Sicily during a violent storm. The 184-foot Bayesian had been anchored about half a mile off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, with 22 people on board — 10 crew members and 12 passengers. The vessel sank at about 5 a.m. local time (11 p.m. Eastern, Sunday) after being hit by a possible waterspout spawned by the storm. Italian media said the winds snapped the boat's mast, unbalancing the vessel causing it to capsize.Fifteen of...

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Local Animal Rescue Shares Dogs Who've Been Looking For Love The Longest

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Meet The "Extreme Snuggler" French Bulldog Still Looking For Love

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc.

We love the trend-less quality of an old European garden—like the romantic, rambling grounds of the de Taillac family property in Gascony, in southwest France. Victoire de Taillac, co-founder of L’Officine Universelle Buly with husband Ramdane Touhami, was inspired by the garden’s potager, or kitchen garden, for a line of Buly fragrances that draws from botanicals and vegetables alike. The garden is not overly landscaped and is where the charm of decades-old furnishings meets the grandeur of a centuries-old building (the oldest part of the property is the 15th-century tower). Here we profile some of those key charming features.
