If the latest warming temperatures and our renewed joie de vivre are any indication, spring is right around the corner.

Tala Ashe Reflects on Broadway’s ‘English’ and Its Impact

“My nervous system is definitely in recovery mode,” says Tala Ashe, in the days immediately following the end of her Broadway show “English.” “I think with a sprinkle of some denial that it’s over, and some grief around that.” After a hit run off-Broadway, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play made its transfer to Broadway with a limited run that ended earlier this month. Ashe, who starred in the five-person show as Elham, is still getting used to the fact that her evenings are now free.   Leading up to the show’s final nights, Ashe says she and her fellow cast members each took turns being the emotional one for the night. “The thing that was most important, I would say to all of us, was that we just continued to honor the integrity of the show and that our feelings were our feelings, and that actually had very little to do with the show, and that we had to just tell the story that we had worked so hard with so much nuance to create and to build together,” Ashe says.  “English” is set in an Iranian classroom and tells the story of four adults trying to learn English for their proficiency exam.

Amber Midthunder Readies for Her Thrilling Two-film Release Weekend

After several years of hearing that they should work together but never actually connecting, Amber Midthunder and Jack Quaid are no longer ships passing in the night: they’re costars in this weekend’s big box action movie “Novocaine.” “You work on something for so long and it feels almost private to you,” says Midthunder the day after the film’s L.A. premiere. It was the first time that the 27-year-old actress had watched the movie with a crowd, which included her castmates as well as friends and family. “This is such a fun movie to see with other people,” she says of the comedic action film, which has also been described as over-the-top gory. “It was really rewarding to hear the jokes landing and ‘eww,’ ‘ugh,’ — all those noises being made. Hearing everybody react and cover their faces at the gory parts — I was just sitting there laughing, and it made me so happy to see everyone reacting that way. I was delighted with joy at how disgusting these moments in our movie are.” Amber Midthunder Midthunder stars as the film’s love interest opposite Quaid, whose character Nathan Caine is unable to experience the sensation of physical pain.

Jay Ellis Talks Netflix’s ‘Running Point,’ ‘Freaky Tales’ Role, and Closing the Chapter on Basketball

School drop-off was probably the last place Jay Ellis expected to land a role. The actor was walking out of his daughter’s classroom after getting her situated when he spotted Mindy Kaling coming down the hallway.  “She goes, ‘are you going to be my coach or what? Are you going to be my coach, Jay? Tell me now,’” Ellis recalls. “And I was like, ‘yeah, Mindy, I want to do it. I love you. You’re the funniest person in the world.’ That was my way in. I’ve never gotten a job at school drop-off before this.”  Netflix can thank a well-timed school run-in then for bringing Ellis to “Running Point,” the new Kaling-produced series on Netflix starring Kate Hudson as a Jeanie Buss-inspired owner of a Los Angeles professional basketball team. After premiering at the end of February, the series was just renewed for a second season. The project is the first of two that Ellis has coming this spring: on April 4 he’ll be seen in the Lionsgate movie “Freaky Tales,” which opened the Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and caused so much buzz that hundreds of ticket holders were turned away at the door.  Jay Ellis The roles are a step into the

Gen Z’s Economic Impact Soars as Workforce Entry Boosts Spending Power to Over $1 Trillion

Early research on Generation Z found that while they make up about 25 percent of the U.S. population, their spending power was substantial. But new data shows that as these digital natives are entering the workforce in greater numbers, their spending power is off the charts. According to a new report from Gen Z Planet, the growing number of Gen Z in the workforce combined with wage increases and additional income streams, has pushed Gen Z’s income to be now slightly over $1.1 trillion. “This number is the sum of money Gen Zers between the ages of 16 to 26 generate from full-time or part-time employment (pretax), receive from their parents, or earn from side hustles,” the report’s authors said. “After deducting Federal and State tax obligations on earned income, Gen Z is left with an estimated $950 billion in disposable income — a figure any consumer brand’s product development or marketing teams would be foolish to ignore,” the report stated. The mammoth spending power doesn’t tell the entire story, the report stated. “Gen Zers are far from attaining the financial independence they so desperately seek,” the report noted. “Some still live with and are supported by their parents, even when holding down

Yerin Ha, Upcoming ‘Bridgerton’ Lead, Makes Her Fashion Show Debut at Chanel

As the lead actress of “Bridgerton’s” upcoming fourth season, Yerin Ha will have no shortage of major fashion appearances on the horizon. In advance, the Australian actress made her fashion show debut at Chanel’s fall 2025 show Tuesday during Paris Fashion Week.  “It was amazing. First fashion week show ever, period,” Ha says from her hotel room, coming down from the adrenaline after the show. “And it being Chanel, just being in that space, being with so many creative people who just appreciate fashion and that as another art form…it was stunning.” For the occasion, Ha wore look 26 from the 2024/2025 Métiers d’art collection. Of the new collection, she was drawn to the bow detailing as well as some of the suiting. She was seated next to fellow Aussie Margaret Zhang, who she got to chat with, and met Phoebe Tonkin for the first time. “And then was fangirling some people from afar,” she says. “I wasn’t brave enough to go and say hello. But maybe next time.”  She did get to have a brief hello with Simone Ashley, who was the lead of “Bridgerton” season two and told Ha to text if she ever needs some advice. “It’s going so well,” Ha said
