2015 “Cuba is suddenly brimming with potential,” Newsweek said. “Under Castro’s Communist reign, education and health care were free but the economy crumbled, poverty spread.... Now that the country is opening up for the first time in over five decades, hope, determination and money are in the air, and everything is up for grabs: real estate, construction, telecommunications, tourism.” During the Trump years, the U.S.’s relations with the Cuba grew frosty again. President Biden has promised a warmer relationship and the U.S. Embassy in Havana has increased cultural exchanges. 1987 “Though economic-class divisions are rapidly producing a nation of haves and have-nots, for blacks, race still tends to overshadow all else,” said Newsweek. According to the Federal Reserve, in 2002 the net worth of Black households was only about one-third…

WHEN RIHANNA PAUSED MIDWAY through her Super Bowl halftime performance to wipe the shine from her face with Fenty Beauty blotting powder, it was her flair for business, not her voice, that was momentarily on bold display. That three-second touch up, coupled with the bright lip she sported (Fenty’s new Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in “MVP” red) and the outfits worn by her backup dancers (from her Savage X Fenty lingerie line, of course), garnered the Fenty brand a cool $7.8 million in the first 12 hours after the game, according to Launchmetrics, which measures the monetary value of media marketing strategies.

The idea of curries—saucy, brothy, gravy-rich and stewy dishes, from simple to complex, made from spices, spice blends, herbs and nuts—has thrived in the Indian subcontinent for at least 6,000 years. As Indians left their country to travel, emigrate, work or study, their food and curry culture were steadfast companions on their journey. As a result, curry has set roots in kitchens crisscrossing the globe, and the many countries that adopted curry over the years gave it a place of high honor within their cuisines—some as the heart of comfort food, and other as a very special treat to be featured in celebrations or weekly rituals, which we’ve highlighted here. 01 Mole Coloradito Oaxaqueño Poached Chicken with a Spiced Mole Sauce MEXICO The regional cuisines of Mexico and India are…

THE PARIS HILTON YOU THINK YOU KNOW ISN’T THE REAL PARIS. “I’M NOT a dumb blonde. I was just very good at pretending to be one.” She writes about this and more in Paris: The Memoir (Dey Street Books, March 14). “A lot of what I did with this character was just a trauma response to all the abuse that I went through as a teenager.” Placed in the controversial Provo Canyon School, a mental health treatment center for girls, Paris writes candidly about the abuse she suffered. “When I was coming out of Provo, I definitely modeled my character on Marilyn Monroe.” When you know this about Paris, you begin to understand so much about her. Now a new wife and mother—“I didn’t even know what love was until…
