Celebs open up about their time in prison

Boris Becker is out of prison after serving just eight months of his 2.5 years sentence. The German tennis legend was found guilty of several bankruptcy offenses and sentenced in April 2022. In a March 29 interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Becker said he felt lucky to be alive after his incarceration. “Prison life is a very dangerous place," he admitted. "It’s very scary. It’s a real punishment." In a previous interview with German broadcaster Sat 1, Becker said that another inmate tried to kill him. In discussing his survival strategy, he told Amanpour, “The only currency you have is your character and your personality – literally – and you better make friends with the strong boys because you need protection, you need a group of people that look out for you.” Many celebrities have done prison time. And while some never opened up about their time behind bars, others have confessed what it was like to be incarcerated. From finding solace, to meeting some unlikely inmates, and even getting romantically involved, in this gallery you'll find a bit of everything.

The extraordinary lives of the Brontë sisters

The Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—were responsible for writing some of the most celebrated novels in English literature. Acknowledged as literary geniuses for works such as 'Jane Ayre,' 'Wuthering Heights,' and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,' the siblings honed their craft at a young age, creating imaginary worlds vividly described in poetry and in plays. As adults, they quickly found success, drawing on life experiences—good and bad—to produce the classics we know and admire today. But the career of each author was also desperately short. So, why did the ink dry so fast, and what did the Brontë sisters leave us? To find out, click on and read through for the amazing story of the Brontë family.

Bholaa review: Brain bola, hola!

Bholaa Director: Ajay Devgn Actors: Ajay Devgn, Tabu Rating: 1.5/5 There is a point in this pointless movie, set inside a prison, where a boom-box is brought in, volume levels cranked up, to play a Bhojpuri song, to drown out the sound of a particularly loud inmate. There is a fully armed militia outside, led by a tiny tyrant (Deepak Dobriyal, always a pleasure on the big screen). Why this gang doesn’t storm into the jail, with hardly any cops...

Iconic movie characters with surprisingly little screen time

When we think back on the films that we love, we often remember the characters that impacted us the most. They're the ones with the most memorable or quotable lines, or they were the creepiest that haunt our nightmares, or they're just plain central to the brilliant plot.

The trans celebrities blazing a trail to acceptance

As the TV, film, music, and fashion industries become more and more inclusive, the number of roles for transgender people is increasing rapidly every year. Groundbreaking TV shows like the ballroom culture drama 'Pose' with almost entirely LGBTQ+ casts are putting the spotlight on the talent and beauty in the transgender community that has long been overlooked.

Musicians' most scandalous songs about exes

Ever heard the phrase "write what you know?" For years, musicians have told their life stories through music. But love stories don't always end how one expects. Just ask Ariana Grande or Stevie Nicks! Everyone's favorite TV host Kelly Clarkson has a segment on her show called 'Kellyoke' in which she sings covers of famous songs. On the March 30 episode, she sang the breakup banger 'abcdefu' by Gayle. Clarkson famously separated from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2020 and went through a nasty divorce that included lawsuits and custody battles. Fans were certain that Clarkson was shading Blackstock by making a few subtle lyric changes to the song. “Forget you and your dad / And the fact you got half and my broken heart / Turned that (expletive) into art,” she sang, quite possibly referring to Blackstock and his dad who run a talent management company which she alleges cheated her out of millions. She was also ordered to give Blackstock a hefty settlement and pay him spousal support as the highest earner in the relationship. Clarkson is gearing up to release her new album 'Chemistry,' which she has revealed was inspired by the harrowing disintegration of her marriage. In the meantime, here's a roundup of some more of the spiciest songs written about exes, namely the ones with an extra slice of scandal. Click through to learn more.
