There’s a lot of talk about Meghan Markle bringing back The Tig, her fashion and lifestyle blog.Since the initial flurry of excited chatter, there have been no positive updates on the matter.Meghan and Harry’s status as royals is likely at play and is why we won’t see The Tig anytime soon.About a month ago, a royal commentator mentioned that Meghan Markle was looking to relaunch her infamous fashion and lifestyle blog, The Tig. There was all manner of talk that she was preparing to take on Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop. Her fangirls believed every word. Meghan was going to conquer the fashion and lifestyle world. It’s been a minute, and still no sign of The Tig rebrand I referred to the notion of the Tig rebranding and relaunch as Meghan’s “fad of the week,” and this is something I stand by

In personalized, long-distance Zoom concerts, a group of music students keeps the music alive.

Richfield hadnt been expecting much from the strangest concert she had ever attended her and her mother seated next to each other in the kitchen of her Nashville home, the music filtered thinly through the internal speaker of her computer, violinist Abby Reed standing alone in her bedroom at her own house across town, the third and fourth windows of the Zoom videoconference occupied by a music teacher and a reporter. She had never met any of them, and yet here they were, virtually, in her kitchen. But somewhere among the beauty of the composition, the beauty of the performance and the overwhelming beauty of the moment at a point, some 2½ months into a novel coronavirus pandemic that had left her, her husband and her 86-year-old mother isolated together at home Richfield, a regular sympho...

Être puriste ou ne pas être.

Si vous avez déjà entamé lintégrale de la série Les Simpson sur Disney Plus, vous avez dû passer par le format 16:9, imposé par le tournant du show en 2009.

Heureusement, cette irrévérence à lune des meilleures sitcoms de tous les temps sachève. Quelques semaines après le lancement de Disney Plus en France, le format original 4:3 est désormais disponible pour les 19 premières saisons des Simpson (et la première moitié de la saison 20). Nous avons appris début avril que Disney avait l'intention de mettre en œuvre ce correctif avant la fin du mois de mai. Chose promise, chose due. Cependant, pour une rais...
