There was a time when Haiti was a favoured destination for the rich and famous . Richard and Elizabeth Taylor had one of their honeymoons there. Other visitors included Noel Coward, John Gielgud, Paulette Goddard and Irving Berlin. Mick Jagger and the broadcaster Barbara Walters came among a later generation of celebrities. The names of the glitterati can be seen in the visitors book of the Grand Hotel Oloffson in the capital, Port-au-Prince. Graham Greene stayed while writing The Comedians, which brought the Haiti of Papa Doc Duvalier, and his murderous secret police, the Tonton Macoute, to a wider English-speaking readership. The slide, which began with the repressive rule of Duvalier, who sought to strike terror into his subjects by identifying with Baron Samedi, the Vodou god o f the dead, was never reversed. Papa Doc died in 1971, to be succeeded by his 19-year-old son, Jean Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. The descent into chaos continued. Haiti is now essentially a...

2015 is drawing to a close, which obviously calls for thoughtful reflection on the best pop culture moments of the year. And what better way to review the year than with everyone's favorite K-hole, Instagram? The millennial adage, "pics or it didn't happen," has never been truer than during the age of Instagram (which pretty much hit its apex this year) and basically mandated that anyone doing anything slightly noteworthy this year most definitely posted a snap. From Gigi Hadid 's powerful message that shut down body shamers during Paris Fashion Week to the multiple pics of Taylor Swift's ever-evolving girl squad , here are the best celebrity Instagrams of 2015.

Florida Highway Patrol has revealed the identity of the driver who caused a short pursuit on I-95 that ended in a crash in Hollywood on Friday. According to a statement by the Florida Highway Patrol, the driver is 34-year-old Jacqueline Marie Maxon. Troopers say that Maxon was driving recklessly in a BMW on Northbound I-95 and NW 103rd street when they attempted to make a traffic stop.

Maxon was arrested on scene and taken to Turner Gilford Knight center. Troopers also confirmed that only minor injuries were reported.

For locals, this past weekend in Paris was the perfect excuse to travel to Parisian suburbs, but for the likes of our favorite industry people, designers, fashion junkies, and celebrities, Paris Fashion Weekend only meant the best weekend of the entire year, (give or take a Couture Week or two). Granted, a five minute cab ride from Place Vendome to St. Germain would undoubtedly cost you 20 euro, and a walk through the Jardin des Tuileries to get to a show would ruin your perfect red suede Christian Louboutin booties…but still, we say, there's no price tag on making lasting memories. Rewind to Friday, where the fun started with Issey Miyake, traveled through the day and left us at Purple Magazine 's party at Montana, (where the boundaries of sexual orientation never exist), Christian Dior 's afterparty at Cha Cha, and the 9th Arrondisement's claim to fame: Le Baron, the very best Fashion Week hang out…now fast forward twenty five shows, Lindsay Lohan, and too many...

On March 18, the premiere of "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" was released. It is a documentary unveiling horrors child stars endured under producer Dan Schneider.  Many of our childhood favorites including "Victorious," "Drake & Josh," "Zoey 101" and "iCarly" revealed disturbing scenes that highlighted oversexualizing the cast, inappropriate jokes and references to feet and foot fetishes. Following the third episode, "The Darkest Secret," many viewers were appalled and disgusted to learn that Drake Bell had been sexually abused by Brian Peck, his former dialogue and acting coach. It was even more astonishing that Peck had only been sentenced to 16 months in prison while Bell has to suffer with the discomfort Peck caused him for the rest of his life. Not only that, but in response to the documentary, Dan Schneider received an interview from Bobby Bowman, known to us as T-Bo from "iCarly." In th...

Ah, social media—wherever would we be without it? It's no secret that platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have connected us in ways we never thought possible, and they've given us access to an elite world that most of us wouldn't ever have the chance to see—the life of an A-list celebrity. Of course, it's particularly beneficial to be privy to the innermost thoughts of a social media-savvy star when they start to harbor negative feelings about another celebrity and decide to take to the internet and let it all out.

Unlike many celebrity-driven documentaries, Morgan Neville 's "Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in Two Pieces" about the writer and comedian wasn't deliberately made as a marketing device tied to a new TV series or movie. The two-part docu is also not your traditional career-encompassing overview of Martin's life. Instead Neville, who garnered an Oscar in 2014 for "20 Feet From Stardom," created feature-length installments called "Then" and "Now" that are told from two points of views using two different formats. "Then" chronicles Martin's early struggles and meteoric rise to revolutionize standup before walking away at age 35. � �Now" focuses on Martin's present day life, retracing the transformation that led to newfound happiness in his art and personal life. Neville began filming "Steve!" in spring 2021 after meeting Martin for lunch to discuss the possibility of making the docu. "We h...
