Moncler’s Alpine Rotation? Cher, Grace Jones, and JENNIE

Moncler’s Alpine Rotation? Cher, Grace Jones, and JENNIE

Published by Akaay Pradhan

Moncler’s Re/Icons line was already doing the most this year. Not content to stick to the usual routine of modern spins on classic jackets from decades past, it expanded into its first-ever ready-to-wear line (titanium-and-leather sunglasses included), released a physical lookbook stacked with archival imagery, and even announced plans to work on a feature film with director Daniele Vicari.  Then came Cher… and Grace Jones… and JENNIE. To say the 2026 Re/Icons campaign leaned into the “icons” bit undersells this megawatt triple bill. Moncler knows its way around a superstar photoshoot, but this feels especially major (though maybe it’s because this is a dream diva rotation for a certain kind of millennial gay man). Shot by Gabriel Moses, the campaign is inspired by old images of mountaineer Lionel Terray, one of the many outdoor pioneers Moncler has outfitted over the decades.  The ads place each star at the center of a crowd in the revamped jackets. Cher wears the 2009-era Himalaya and the ’80s Verone. Grace Jones wears a purple take on the 1954 Karakorum. …

The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace

The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace

Published by Jenni Sidey

Five times across five hundred pages, The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace stops its plot and runs a short section set centuries earlier, in which two young angels choose the same vocation and one of them ruins the other. Those five interludes total perhaps forty pages. They are the best thing in the novel by a wide margin, and everything the main story does well, it does because they exist. That is an unusual verdict to reach about a book this long and this crowded, but it is the honest one: the romantasy on the surface is competent and frequently exciting, while the tragedy underneath it is genuinely good. The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace Hides Its Best Novel in the Margins The interludes are labelled as beginnings and placed after chapters eleven, twenty-five, forty-one, fifty-one and fifty-eight, which means they arrive just often enough that you stop expecting them. Two novices pick the soldier’s path together. One falls in love with a mortal woman. The other reports him, and tells himself it is duty. …

Yes Chef by Grace Reilly

Yes Chef by Grace Reilly

Published by Jenni Sidey

Most romances open with a meet-cute. This one opens with a cocktail shrimp to the face. That shrimp, lobbed across a Hamptons wedding tent by a tipsy bridesmaid at a chef who called her a disco ball, tells you almost everything about the tone of Yes, Chef by Grace Reilly. It is loud, food-obsessed, occasionally mean, and far more tender underneath than its first fifty pages suggest. Reilly built her name on the Beyond the Play college sports romances. This is her first adult standalone, and the change of uniform suits her. The Setup: Two Public Disasters and One Neglected Restaurant Jack Hartman is a James Beard winner with a drinking problem he refuses to name, a mentor he failed to bury, and a temper that finally detonates in front of the wrong critic. Poppy Winfield is a 2.3-million-follower influencer who gets dumped in the same dining room on the same night. He inherits a shuttered Florida restaurant he doesn’t want. She proposes a deal. He agrees on one condition: if she’s going to sell …

Grace episode 3 features nail biting danger for Glenn and his family

Published by Daniella Wilson

*Warning – contains full spoilers for Grace season 6 episode 3.* The third episode of Grace season 6, Dead Man’s Game, saw John Simm’s Roy and Laura Elphinstone’s Bella investigating a murder on a council estate, while Richie Campbell’s Glenn and Brad Morrison’s Nick investigated an armed robbery carried out by four masked men. The two investigations came to a head at the end of the episode, in a terrifying scene which saw Glenn being chased by Chris’s murderer Seb, as he transported John to provide information about his stepdad Damian, the ringleader behind the whole operation. Seb ended up taking both Glenn and John hostage at gunpoint, while Roy and Bella tried to get Damian to call Seb off over the phone. As Damian spoke to Seb, he betrayed Roy, Bella and John’s mum at the last moment, and told Seb to kill them both. Thankfully, Glenn managed to disarm Seb, and they both got out of there alive.

Handle Criticism With Grace by Overcoming Defensiveness

Handle Criticism With Grace by Overcoming Defensiveness

Published by Jenni Sidey

Read any advice column, and you’ll find letter after letter asking for help with delivering criticism to a friend, colleague, or family member. “How can I tell my brother he’s hurting my feelings?” “How can I tell my coworker her breath smells?” What if the hurtful brother or the malodorous coworker—the person on the receiving end of the criticism—is you? In theory, if the person criticizing you is someone you care about and value your relationship with, you would respond with perfect calm and grace. You would thank the person for raising the issue, hear them out, and try to do better. In reality? Blood rushes to your ears. Your heart pounds. You feel shame, anger, resentment, or confusion. You’re reminded of all the times in your childhood when you were harshly criticized. Your first instinct is to deny the criticism and defend yourself. How can you reconcile this gap between the theoretical perfect response and the real-life ill-considered reaction? 1. Accept your initial, imperfect reaction as the first step in a progression. Your initial …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Corey Parker, the actor who appeared in a number of hit TV shows including the sitcom Will & Grace, has died aged 60. His aunt, Emily Parker, told TMZ that Parker died on Thursday (5 March) in Memphis, Tennessee, after being diagnosed with cancer. According to a GoFundMe page set up to raise funds to support Parker’s family, he had previously been diagnosed with advanced Stage 4 metastatic cancer. The page said the cancer was discovered after Parker underwent hip replacement surgery. In one update, Parker said that while his body initially responded to medication, the cancer had slowly spread. By November 2025, he said “90 per cent” of his bones were covered with adenocarcinoma – according to the Cleveland Clinic, this is a common and often aggressive type of cancer that starts in the glands that line a person’s organs. Parker then shared another update on 17 February that the cancer was “terminal”, having previously said that it was wearing down his body to the point that he could “no longer function properly” and …
