Passover is nearly here! And if you've been anxiously awaiting a fresh new parody video to celebrate, Jewish a cappella group Six13 — the singers who brought us the recent Hanukkah hit, "Bohemian… Chanukah" — has got you covered. This years' tune is "A Lion King Passover," and it's a medley of songs from the Disney animated movie-turned-Broadway show (and soon to be live action film). It's got pretty much everything you'd expect: catchy, Jewy lyrics ("I'm eating a matzah!" subs quite nicely for "Hakuna matata!"); slightly silly… >> Read More

He's also had roles in blockbusters like Saving Private Ryan and A Beautiful Mind, as well as and a bunch of parts in what he calls "doomed series."

Arielle Kaplan

Would you buy a pair of $500 heels for your husband? Jane Weitzman would. In fact, she purchased more than 100 pairs of elegant shoes for her husband — who is none other than Stuart Weitzman, one… of the most prolific and successful shoe designers in recent decades. (He has adorned the feet of a host of celebrities, from Aretha Franklin to Gigi Hadid.) In April, the New York Historical Society opened the "Walk This Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historical Shoes" — a drool-worthy collection of contemporary and… >> Read More
