GEMMA Collins has turned over a new leaf after almost losing her dad to Covid-19, revealing she has overhauled her lifestyle and is exercising daily in a bid to boost her health. Both Gemma’s parents - Joan and Alan, 74 - contracted the coronavirus, but it was the star’s dad who was left fighting for his life in intensive care. She says: “It was traumatising. I was heartbroken. I’ve never been scared of anything in my life. I’m quite a go-getter, but I was paralysed with fear. “I realised, when my mum and dad got really ill, no money in my bank account was saving them. “It was a big moment where I thought: ‘If you have not got your health, you have not got a chance of surviving.’ “It got me really thinking about lifestyle choices and changes - putting myself first.” The former Towie star’s parents were diagnosed with Covid in December. Gemma believes her mum’s rheumatoid arthritis medication helped prevent her from suffering as much as her dad, who spent six weeks … [Read more...] about I’m desperate to have a baby this year – I want a two-hour labour & to pop her out to Mariah Carey, says Gemma Collins

Helen Marden spent the pandemic year painting and with family, her life slowed down but not in every way a bad way. “I felt lucky,” she says, “but extremely sad.” Despite her privilege, it’s not as though she wasn’t in the viral crosshairs: She’s almost 80, and her husband of over 50 years, Brice Marden , has been stalked by cancer. A number of her friends died of COVID, including one of her closest, the architect Edward Tuttle , whom she remembers meeting on the Greek island of Hydra back in the 1970s as if it were yesterday. “He was like 27, and I knew I was going to love him” — Helen is confident in her first impressions, as she seems at first to be in most things. “He had an Enter the Dragon T-shirt on and, I think, pearls,” she says. We’re sitting together, masked up and vaxxed up, at Gagosian’s first-floor gallery on Madison (the floors polished black, her hair Warhol white), surrounded by the … [Read more...] about Helen Marden’s Bitter, Lucky Light

“Oh, baby, let the bad times roll,” the Offspring sing on the title track to their new album, resigning themselves to a world in peril. It’s the stalwart California punk band’s first studio LP in nearly a decade, and their first for Concord after a lengthy run on Capitol, but the label change and the departure of their longtime bassist haven’t blunted the Offspring’s edge. Working with producer Bob Rock (Metallica), they set doom-and-gloom lyrics (as heard on the shrug-emoji title track and the prescient “This Is Not Utopia”) to euphoric melodies for a head-spinning listen that’s on par with their Nineties gems Smash and Ixnay on the Hombre . While singer Dexter Holland jokingly chalks up the delay between 2012’s Days Go By and Let the Bad Times Roll to laziness, the reality is that Holland has been a busy dude. In 2017, he earned his Ph.D. in molecular biology from USC and has been tracking the Covid-19 pandemic from two distinct viewpoints: as a touring musician eager … [Read more...] about The Offspring’s Dexter Holland on Cali Punk Pride and Why We’ve Seen the Worst of Covid
