It’s not often we spot Tom Cruise in public with his kids, so Saturday’s outing at the San Francisco Giants versus the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game was a rare opportunity to see him with son Connor Cruise, 26. And let’s just say, every camera was zoned in on the father and son — we are not sure anyone even bothered to watch the game. Tom and Connor had great seats close to the field, but that didn’t stop the Top Gun star from greeting his fans and taking selfies....

There’s been a lot of chatter surrounding Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s marriage, but they haven’t come out and discussed it.

The last reports had the duo separated but putting the divorce on hold due to financial constraints....

Kenya-born Visram connects travelers with top guides for spotting the Big Five in the Serengeti and tracking chimpanzees in the mountains of Tanzania. He’s also clued in to lesser-known camps and lodges, like those of the Dar es Salaam-based Wellworth Hospitality Collection. For a spring 2022 trip that Visram calls a “Covid comeback celebration,” he sent a group of 15 on a spectacular tour of South Africa and Botswana. Over 13 days, the group visited the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Victoria Falls, and a stop in South Africa, staying at private conservancies in Khwai and the Gomoti Plains, and at Ngoma Safari Lodge, which works with the nearby communities....

While my eyes fixate on the fiery oranges and reds on the horizon, toes buried in the warm sand, I listen to a shaman sporting a feathered headpiece speaking quietly in Mayan. It’s 7 a.m. in Cancun, Mexico, and our group of four — my mother, a yoga instructor, the shaman, and me — are the only people on a pristine stretch of white sand taking part in a traditional sun salutation ceremony....

Adele is giving hope to anyone who is worried about their love life after a divorce. She’s living proof that another person can swoop in and make your heart swoon all over again.

The first thing Britney Spears wants to do after finally securing freedom? Get pregnant, baby! Just days after a Los Angeles judge officially ended the pop star’ conservatorship that has controlled her life for 13 years, she shared an exciting revelation. “I’m thinking about having another baby!!!” Spears captioned a November 16 Instagram photo featuring a pair of baby legs standing next to an adult, snapped by artist Kei Moreno di Tomasso....

Gingerbread cookies are a staple of holiday snacking, but making gingerbread from scratch is actually kind of hard. First, you need the right balance of spices and sweeteners, but most importantly, you need to get the texture right. Some gingerbread is so hard you can barely bite through it, but if it’s too soft or crumbly, your cookies won’t come out looking right. Our solution? Just head to Costco! They’re selling gingerbread decorating kits that take all of the hard work out of making these iconic holiday cookies....

Regardless of the season, whether we’re indoors or outdoors, comfortable footwear is a must for our overall comfort.

To that end, we often find ourselves buying discounted shoes at Costco....

Travelers at a Charlotte Douglas International Airport checkpoint got quite the sight when a bald eagle passed through security last week, spreading his wings and showing off. The eagle, named Clark, was heading home to the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri after making an appearance at North Carolina’s High Point University to wish its new freshman class luck, the university tweeted. That’s when Clark and his handler surprised some unsuspecting travelers and equally stunned TSA agents....

When we thought we couldn’t love Top Chef host, New York Times best-selling author of several cookbooks (and one children’s book!), and activist Padma Lakshmi more, the Emmy-nominated food expert has taken to Instagram to share some of the most delicious — and approachable — recipes this summer. And our favorite so far? Lakshmi’s quick-and-easy berry pie that doubles as both as a sweet treat and an irresistibly delicious no-bake breakfast....

Driving into Millersburg, visitors are greeted by laundry waving from clotheslines like streamers. The Amish, after all, don’t use electricity — not even to dry their petticoats. Millersburg, halfway between Cleveland and Columbus, is the seat of Holmes County — home to one of the largest Amish populations in the world. It’s a real-deal agrarian fantasia: hitching posts tether horses in parking lots; green velvet hills rise from the horizon; and the pie is very, very good....

The sky was a tapestry of cotton candy pink clouds that deepened into lavender, mirrored on the still saltwater of British Columbia’s Homfray Channel, as my husband and I gathered with a dozen Canadians and Europeans around a smoking fire pit. “Fire is the best way to connect with the ancestors,” said Klemkwateki “Randy” Louie, explaining the First Nations smudging and brushing ritual to come. Louie is a Klahoose cultural interpreter, grizzly bear guide, spiritual dancer, and all-around gentle soul working in this new kind of high-end resort....

When I arrived in Lexington, Virginia, I exclaimed loudly and to no one in particular, “They should make movies here.” As it happened, a gentleman standing on the sidewalk nearby was a film critic. “Oh, they have,” he said, pointing to the side of a brick building. “That sign,” he continued, “was painted for the movie, ‘Sommersby,’ with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere. It’s very similar in size and style to a sign that was there originally, so they kept it....

I admit it, I’m an overpacker. Between my emergency toiletries, extra clothes, electronics (and their corresponding wires), in-flight entertainment, and any other item I’ve convinced myself I’ll need, I always fly with a mountain of essentials in my personal item bag. And as you can imagine, there’s not much room left under the seat in front of me for my actual legs. This never bothered me enough to make a change....

Stories about mermaids, legendary creatures that are half human and half fish, have surfaced throughout the globe in different folkloric traditions: In Scheherazade’s tale of “Djullanar the Sea-girl,” and as ancient Greece’s sirens, Scotland’s selkies, Thailand’s Suvannamaccha, the African diaspora’s Mami Wata, Indonesia’s Nyai Roro Kidul, Brazil’s Iara, the Slavic rusalki, and Hans Christian Andersen’s (and, by extension, Walt Disney’s) “Little Mermaid.” Today, mermaids — okay, humans in mermaid costumes — can be found across the U....
