Detroit had expected it for months; last week Ford Motor Co. finally had to make it official. The company dropped its medium-priced Edsel, introduced only two years ago. Said Ford, in a pained announcement: “Retail sales have been particularly disappointing, and continued production of the Edsel is not justified, especially in view of the shortage of steel.” Ford’s hand was forced by a stock prospectus issued by the Ford Foundation, which plans to sell another 2,000,000 shares of Ford stock (worth some $155 million) in order to diversify its holdings.

January 23, 2018 5:25 PM EST Before Bradley Cooper got his big break as an actor, he apparently had dreams of becoming a journalist. And one of the subjects he was interested in reporting on? Friends with benefits. Thanks to a clip shared by Philadelphia Daily News writer Tommy Rowan, we now know that Cooper spent some of his final high school days penning articles about his own personal love life for the newspaper.

Britain produced many of the first temblors of the youthquake. There were the eleganty dressed but often vicious Teddy boys of the late 1950s. There were the gentler Mods and the tough leather-jacketed, working-class rockers in the ’60s. Now British youth, having helped give rise to Hell’s Angels and hippies an ocean away, have spawned yet another phenomenon: the skinheads. Also Suedeheads. Their hair is shaved to within an eighth of an inch from the scalp, and they are dress in oversized workpants, thin red suspenders and hobnailed, steel-toed boots costing about$10 and known as “cherry reds.

Celine Dion made an emotional return to the stage on Friday at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Following Lady Gaga and a flurry of European singers, Dion’s eagerly anticipated performance closed the ceremony. As the torch was lit and floated into the sky, Dion, dressed in a glittering, bead-adorned dress, performed on the base of the Eiffel Tower, giving a powerful rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour.” The weather couldn’t slow down the charged performance, which featured Dion next to a piano awash with rain.

Vanguard reports that thestrange image allegedly appeared on one of the walls of a building under construction in the church which worshippers assumed was the image of Christ and as word spread about the appearance, worshippers and residents of the area trooped to the church to have a glimpse. It was gathered that the image attracted a lot of people thereby turning the church into a Mecca of sorts as some people struggled to see for themselves while others fell down in worship and supplication.

English-Irish playwright and filmmaker Martin McDonagh specializes in bitter-bleak semi-comedies about the tendency of human beings to be angry, defensive grudgeholders—yet gloriously, messily human nonetheless. Maybe the people who love his work—which includes movies like In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths and, perhaps the worst of them, that extended, belabored wink at heartland America, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri—talk themselves into being surprised by it, but surely they must be hip to his shtick by now.

To quickly clear the air on what being broke means. I do not think there is a uniform, universal benchmark for it. It's more of a personal definition than something that affects everyone in the same manner. So the deal is to set that personal level and cut off people who do not reach it.

And when the Grammy-winning hop-hop mogul started his own clothing line, he went back to the basics. In 1998, Combs launched Sean John Inc., which includes men's shirts, jackets and pants. But Combs didn't stop with just his own label and fashion line. In 2004, he invested in couture label Zac Posen, and in 2008, Combs hired Dawn Robertson from Old Navy to run the company.
