The release of Untold: The Death of Lamar Odom has done more than revisit the highs and lows of one of basketball’s most complicated legacies. It has cracked open a much larger conversation one that extends far beyond celebrity gossip and into the living rooms of everyday women who have, at some point, loved someone who was slowly unraveling. At the center of that conversation is Khloé Kardashian, whose loyalty to Odom during the darkest years of his life has long been both admired and dissected by the public. The documentary paints a vivid picture of just how consuming that…

Easter Sunday has a way of leaving everyone fed, egg-hunted out and in need of somewhere comfortable to land.

Here are 11 Easter movies currently streaming on Netflix in…

For millions of American workers, a pay increase is arriving this year just not one that feels like it. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that non-supervisory workers have seen average hourly wages rise by 3.4% over the past year, the slowest pace of wage growth since 2021. That is a meaningful step down from the roughly 4% annual gains workers were seeing over the previous two years, and the timing could not be more difficult. The slowdown is landing just as a fresh wave of cost pressures is building across the economy, from gas stations and…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed legislation requiring proof of citizenship for voters, a move that has immediately drawn criticism from civil rights groups, election officials and legal advocates who warn the law could push eligible voters off the rolls particularly in Black and Brown communities that have historically faced the highest barriers to political participation. The law, which makes Florida the third state this year to adopt a version of the SAVE Act following South Dakota and Utah, requires election officials to verify citizenship status after a voter registers. That process involves cross-checking voter registrations against state and federal…

The South Carolina Gamecocks punched their ticket to the National Championship game with a commanding 14-point victory over the UConn Huskies in their sixth consecutive Final Four appearance a run that further cements coach Dawn Staley’s place among the elite figures in college basketball.

In Arizona, prices have pushed as high as $4.99 per gallon, while California has seen averages creep toward $6. Those figures are not just inconvenient they are adding up fast for families already stretched thin by broader inflation pressures.…

Rev. Dr. Wanda Bynum Duckett is not slowing down. She is speeding up and she is doing it with a rhythm that sounds less like a traditional Sunday sermon and more like a spoken word set at a packed poetry venue. Duckett, an ordained United Methodist minister with graduate degrees from St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore and Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., spent years working within the structures of institutional religion. She served as superintendent of the United Methodist Church’s former Baltimore Metropolitan District for eight years a role that placed her among the more prominent voices in her…

What follows is a close look at the key moments in a timeline that has…

Keke Palmer was at the South by Southwest festival in Austin to promote her upcoming film I Love Boosters when the afternoon took a turn no one in the room was prepared for. Mid panel, a man made his way toward the stage and dropped to one knee in front of her with a ring in hand. The room fell into an uneasy silence. Palmer, visibly caught off guard, tried to make sense of what she was seeing in real time. Her first instinct was that it had to be a prank. It was not. Security responded quickly. A female…
