"Johnny's Mambo" from Dirty Dancing (1987) instantly establishes Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) and Penny Johnson (Cynthia Rhodes) as the resort's star dance couple. Patrick Swayze is magnetic, but Cynthia Rhodes is simply breathtaking. Her razor-sharp technique, effortless speed, immaculate lines and complete command of every movement make this one...

This grandpa is absolutely the soul dancer of square dancing! He struts his stuff on the dance floor like a rock star. When he starts moving, it's as if the music has taken possession of his body. His every step, every twirl, and every shake is full of energy and passion. He's not just dancing; he's conducting a symphony of movement. People around can't help but be drawn to his infectious enthusiasm. He's the life of the party, the king of the dance floor, and the one who makes square dancing an absolute blast! 😎

CYD CHARISSE and GENE KELLY Dance Sequence | SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952). Cyd Charisse as the woman in the green sequined dress and hair in the style of Louise Brooks as well as in a white dress and long wind-blown train, who vamps Gene Kelly in the “Broadway Melody” dance sequence in Singin' in the Rain (1952). Cyd was a technically skilled dancer in Hollywood’s golden age of movie musicals. Famous for her long legs, graceful style, and dramatic presence, she became a major star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) during the 1940s and 1950s. In this clip from Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain (1952), her “Broadway Melody” sequence, where she appeared as a sultry flapper, made her an overnight star. Interestingly, Cyd Charisse had no speaking lines in the film — her entire role was expressed through dance. Gene Kelly choreographed his dance scenes with Cyd Charisse to hide the fact that she was taller than he was. To keep the height difference from being obvious, Kelly staged the routine so that the two were rarely upright when standing next to each other, always bending toward or away from one another instead.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion fashion breakdown from Crystal Kung Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey! Crystal and Cynthia note that #RHOA typically follows a clear theme, while #RHOBH is more vague, with general guidance like ‘jewel tones’ rather than a set theme. They both agreed Jennifer Tilly looked incredible, calling her dress iconic and completely her own, even if it did not quite fit the theme. When it came to Kathy Hilton, Crystal described the look as simple and age appropriate, while Cynthia seemed less impressed, saying, “she stayed with the theme in terms of colour… I think this is a look that is very true to what we can expect from Kathy.” Even though Erika Jayne was not on theme, both loved her look, with Cynthia naming her best dressed. Cynthia also loved Kyle Richards’ dress but felt it did not align with the rest of the cast or the theme, while Crystal said it leaned more toward a confessional style. For Dorit Kemsley, Cynthia appreciated the softness and simplicity but expected more of a fashion moment. They both liked Bozoma Saint John’s dress, especially the colour, with Crystal admitting she does not usually understand Boz’s style but loved this particular look. Rachel Zoe wore something Crystal and Cynthia said they would personally wear, but added that Rachel’s style feels repetitive episode to episode, a critique also shared by Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp. They liked Sutton Stracke’s hair and the softness of her dress but were not fans of the colour. They did say Sutton had a glow up this season. As for Amanda Frances, Crystal joked that whoever made the dress must hate her, while Cynthia said the tulle needed to go. Crystal did love Amanda’s glam, but Cynthia disagreed. Crystal named Boz as most improved, while Cynthia gave best dressed to Erika and Boz. Podcast: Humble Brag

Cyd Charisse's striptease dance to “Satin and Silk” in the 1957 MGM musical romantic comedy film, Silk Stockings, directed by Rouben Mamoulian. • Cyd Charisse's striptease to the title number was met with a couple of raised eyebrows from the Hays film censors. For one two-second instant, Charisse is seen at length in a silk camisole exposing her legendary legs. This was considered too risqué by the Hays office, and a high-back chair was integrated into the dance for her to run behind. After she emerges from behind the chair, she has slipped on a swirling petticoat, but it is transparent and gives quick glimpses of her legs anyway. • In his vision for Silk Stockings, director Rouben Mamoulian was determined that the film would rely less on dialogue and instead dramatise the relationship between the two leads through elaborate dance numbers. He explained, “I had two of the best dancers in the world, and what interested me was to give greater importance to the dancing than to the action proper, which was merely a repeat of Ninotchka (1939). The psychological and dramatic development existed only in the dances.” • The exquisite gown that Cyd Charisse wears immediately after this dance was designed by Helen Rose.

Patrick Swayze fell several times from the log and hurt his already injured knee during the filming of this scene in "Dirty Dancing" (1987). He was rushed straight to the hospital to get the fluid drained from his knee after the scene was completed. He considered this scene to be more difficult, physically taxing and painful than anything else he did in the movie. He wrote, "With all the dancing and jumping and running around, it’s no surprise that my knee began swelling again. I’d ice it after shooting the dance scenes, but as filming went on, I had to start getting it drained again—just as I’d done so often when dancing in New York. But it wasn’t dancing that caused me the most knee pain of all. It was the scene where I’m balancing on the log with Jennifer. We had to balance very carefully so we wouldn’t tumble onto the rocks below. It looks like fun in the movie, but shooting that scene was dangerous and physically taxing. When you’re balancing like that, your joints are working overtime, making constant tiny adjustments. And because most of the cartilage in my knee was gone, the bones were just grinding painfully on each other. After spending a couple of hours filming that log scene, I had to go straight to the hospital to get my knee drained. It was definitely more painful and difficult than anything I did on the dance floor." ("The Time of My Life", Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi, 2009 & IMDb) P.S: Remembering the great American actor Patrick Swayze on his 74th birthday!

This video of Katie Ledecky swimming with a glass of chocolate milk balanced on her head is one of my favorite things on the internet. It captures something true for all masters: they look graceful because they don't make unnecessary movements. In that way, the elegance of good technique is deceptive. I've been taking swim lessons so I can start swimming laps, and my instructor keeps teasing me about all the extra movements in my stroke, but every time I try to be elegant, I swim super slowly. It's only taken a few hours in the water to appreciate how many years it must have taken Ledecky to reach a point where she can swim so gracefully. Same story on the golf course. I'll sometimes pull up old videos of Tiger Woods ripping effortless 300-yard drives. But whenever I try to hammer the ball like that, my body gets tight and my swing gets jittery. Every skill is like this.

Such was the lack of faith in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” that the MGM Studio considered this work a “B” picture. A cheap and low budget commercial film that was easily so dispensable. The studio even reassigning the film’s original budget to “Brigadoon” starring the draw of Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse estimating that it was surely set to be the more successful film. All of the women’s dresses designed by Walter Plunkett were made from old quilts from the Salvation Army which is unclear whether this was done due to a curtailed budget, or artistic effect. Legendary choreographer Michael Kidd was not too excited at the prospect of the film’s premise: “I can’t see any dancing in this picture. You got these seven slobs living out in the country. They got horse manure on the floor. They’re unwashed. They’re unshaven. They look terrible. These people are going to get up and dance? We’ll be hooted out of the theater. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Had to find a way to have these backwoods men dance without looking ridiculous. I had to base it all around activities you would accept from such people. It couldn’t look like ballet. And it could only have been done by superbly trained dancers.” Many have attested this is a ballet sequence. It is not according to Kidd whose choreography came from a perception of “human behaviours” further stylised in a rhythmical form. A use of “real-life gestures.” Russ Tamblyn in this dance for instance - is not a trained dancer, but he was an exceptional gymnast/ acrobat. This “Barn Dance” sequence standing as one of the most technically executed dance performances ever put to screen. Full of muscular energy and vigor that showcase technical feats at the highest level. It was the one of the most successful films in 1954, and is preserved by the Library of Congress - as culturally significant. Same film made on a shoestring budget. Outselling Brigadoon - starring Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse.

Céline Sciamma on why she made "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" (2019) & on Leonardo Di Caprio being a Lesbian icon: "Sciamma: What I had in mind above all was to make a film about love, with a totally invented story. And when I thought about it, I found that there were few films totally devoted to love, even though they are often the greatest in the history of cinema. It's rare, even though it's the beating heart of our cinephiles. Interviewer: What movies were you thinking of? Sciamma: 'Titanic' (1997), for example. It's a real influence, which I recently revisited. Both films are about the memories of a love affair, almost behind closed doors. I spent a long time looking for a framework and then one day I looked at the script and I thought: "F**k, it's Titanic! It's simply Titanic." There's the prologue, of course, before the flashback, but also the drawing scene, which is very explicit in my film. With this dialogue: "Don't laugh, be serious…" Interviewer Is it an important film for you? Sciamma: Collectively, it's important. There are different film regimes that count in our cinephilia: those we love and those that are part of a collective phenomenon. It's rare to experience those moments, especially when it's about 'Titanic' and not 'Qu’est-ce qu’on a fait au bon Dieu?' (2014). Titanic was a cultural moment, and in my life as a cinephile, it's probably the most important one, even more so because of the shared love. And with a real queer dynamic! Leo DiCaprio is a lesbian icon. A very new masculinity at the time, in cinema - with time it deepens enormously, it's exciting to watch. At the time, in that youth and in that body, there was really something hyper queer. And then the love scene is a total inversion of the conventions: she's on top of him, she reassures him, he’s the one who’s breathless... All that in the back seat of a car, like in any good teen movie. There were great subversive effects in 'Titanic', and that's something James Cameron always did anyway. What it also has in common with my film is the idea that the greatest loves are emancipatory and that the loss of them is the price of our future fulfillment. At the end of 'Titanic', there are three photos of a girl in pants riding a horse! It’s one of the few films that asserts that love can bring positive things, even when it's over. In my opinion, this is one of the hidden reasons for the incredible success of the film." ("CÉLINE SCIAMMA : DiCaprio est une icône lesbienne.", Axel Cadieux, Sofilm, 2020) P.S: On this day, 7 years ago, "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" (2019) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Cyd Charisse started dancing lessons at six to build up her strength after a bout of polio. At 12 she studied ballet in Los Angeles with Adolph Bolm and Bronislava Nijinska, and at 14 she auditioned for and subsequently danced in the Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo as “Felia Siderova” and, later, “Maria Istomina”. Charisse was educated at the Hollywood Professional School. Deep in My Heart (1954) primarily consists of a series of cameo turns by nearly every significant singer or dancer on the MGM lot at the time. These include dancer Cyd Charisse, Rosemary Clooney (José Ferrer's wife), Vic Damone, Howard Keel, Gene Kelly and his brother Fred Kelly (their only on-screen appearance together), Tony Martin, Ann Miller, James Mitchell, Jane Powell, Joan Weldon, and ballerina Tamara Toumanova. Robert Easton, Russ Tamblyn, Susan Luckey, and Ludwig Stössel make uncredited appearances. Cyd Charisse's stunning costume was designed by Helen Rose who designed all the women's costumes for Deep in My Heart while Walter Plunkett designed all the costumes for the men. In this video clip, we see Cyd Charisse and James Mitchell dancing to “The Desert Song” in Deep in My Heart (1954) ― one of the greatest dance sequences performed by two of the best dancers from the Golden Age of cinema.

Merino talks about the stressful life as an Arsenal fan: “It hasn't been great to be watching from the stands, but it's a different point of view now. “I'm very nervous watching the team performing. When things are not going well, you want to jump and help them from the pitch, and when things are going well, you're just, OK, this is going well, I'm happy. “But it's been a crazy couple of months for me where I had to help the team in a different role. Finally, feeling like one of you guys, one of the Arsenal supporters from the stands suffering big time and enjoying every single second when we win.”

This is going to be a tough one for me. I have been dreading this day for the last decade. As some of you know, I have been a fan of Dolly from way back, and not the type to say “Jolene” is my favorite song (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Her entire song catalogue has comforted me, brought me joy, and guided me throughout my life. In the coming days, I will share some of my favorites. But first, one of Dolly’s best is embedded in a video in this post: “The Bridge.” It was released when Dolly was 22, but she wrote it when she was a teenager. One of the things I always loved about Dolly was that she had this incredibly bubbly personality, but she contained an extraordinary amount of depth, heartache, and heartbreak. “The Bridge” is one of the greatest examples of that. It is beautiful and devastating, and the way she ends it is remarkable. On the surface, it starts out as an old-fashioned country love song, then shifts into an old-fashioned country tragedy. That is the Dolly I hope people who didn’t know much about her music spend some time discovering now. Not just the icon and the glamour, but one of the greatest American songwriters to ever live. A woman whose catalogue contains some of the most heartbreaking, compassionate, and beautifully written songs you will ever hear.

Question: My sister doesn't wear a hijab, but she is very good. Is it far-fetched to say that? Shaykh Shadee Elmasry: "Someone can be excellent in many aspects but weak in one. No, it's not far off. Allah will reward her for the good that she does, but she will have to explain why she didn't obey Allah in another command. You can be very pious in an area that comes easily to you, but in another, you might struggle because it's difficult, and you haven't found the strength to overcome it. Isn't that true for all of us? The difference is that with a woman who doesn't wear a hijab, it's more obvious because it's something outward. If you ask any man, he might find many things easy but struggle with a few private matters that we can't see. This isn't a permissive attitude; it's simply a description of reality. So, are you saying they're sinful? Yes, they are sinful. But we all commit sins and should make Tawbah (repentance). This message is for all of us, not just one of us. The reason it stands out is because it's an external deed." Dr. Shadee Elmasry

FILM WRAP FOR KHURANA SAAB!😎Last night was the film wrap for my dear friend, #BomanIrani, on #KhoslaKaGhosla2!👏😍 What can one possibly say about a man who seems to have it all? Talent, humility, generosity, wit, and a heart that is always larger than life.❤️ Our relationship in the film couldn’t be more different from our relationship off screen. In the film, he is the intimidating, ruthless and unforgettable #KhuranaSaab. In real life, he is one of the warmest, kindest and most generous friends one could ask for. Working with Boman is always a joyous ride. His understanding of cinema, his preparation, his attention to detail and his ability to make every scene richer are simply extraordinary. Even between takes, whether we were discussing films, life or playing world building or a game of chess, every moment with him was a joy. Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 is bigger in every way!! The scale is bigger, the emotions are bigger, the stakes are higher… and yes, so is Khurana Saab!😳😳 Thank you, Boman, for bringing your brilliance to the screen and your friendship to my life. It’s always a privilege to share the frame with you. See you on the sets of #KhoslaKaGhosla3! Jai Ho! Lots of love. ❤️ Boman Irani Tandav Films Entertainment #Actor

Lately, it's become a trend to talk about Carlos as if he only started learning to play tennis well (for some, even to be educated) at 15. As if one coach is the only responsible for his success and for who he is in every aspect. Meanwhile, this was Carlos at age 10 in Murcia. One can acknowledge the work of a coach and give him credit without diminishing the player, who is the one holding the racket and coming back in historic 5: 30 hours finals, as if he didn't exist or have anything to do with his own success or who he is. A world number one, the youngest in history, isn't solely the work of a coach. Is also the work of his family, all his team and people, but above all, it's HIS OWN WORK, his talent, his commitment to his dream, and his constant sacrifice since childhood. Even if every now and then he has the audacity to need to rest for a few days with his friends or family.

Sergio Garcia reacts to LIV Golf’s OWGR approval: “It's definitely a step forward. Is it fair? I mean, I guess time will tell us. It doesn't feel like it's totally fair. With time, obviously. Now the first few weeks obviously when one of us is winning, that guy is going to make a jump in the rankings, which is great, but then every time you finish 11th or worst you're getting a zero and you're getting an extra event on your divisor. So that in the near, a little farther future, it can hurt a lot. But like I said, it's a step forward, so it is positive. I think that at the end of the day, it's going to help some of these kids performing well to move up the rankings. Hopefully they play really well. “But unfortunately only 10 guys can finish in the top 10. Well, unless there's a couple of ties. “It would be nice if it was expanded a little bit farther as we probably think it should. But hopefully it'll come soon.”

Initially, Whoopi Goldberg was not considered for the part of Oda Mae Brown in "Ghost" (1990). When she was eating lunch with one of her friends who auditioned for the role, she was informed that “Every black woman and their mother was there”. When she finished lunch, Goldberg called her agent and asked, ‘Do you know about this movie that everybody’s talking about?’ He said, ‘Oh, who told you?’ And she told him the name of the person and asked her agent, ‘Why did you say it like that?’ her agent replied, ‘Because they don’t want you [for the movie],’” One day, Goldberg got a phone call from her agent, who said, ‘Patrick Swayze has been hired for this movie. Patrick is not going to do this if you don’t do it. Can you make some time for him and the director to come up?’” Goldberg said that Jerry Zucker and Swayze flew to meet her, and she was immediately at ease. “So they flew in, I meet Patrick, and out of the blue, we’re old friends" Shortly after, Swayze made his pitch for 'Ghost'. "About 40 minutes go by and Patrick says, 'Please do this with me and I was like, 'Yeah, okay.' And that’s how it happened. I said yes, not really knowing what it was going to be. It wasn’t until we all saw the film that we realized what we had.” For her performance in the movie, Whoopi Goldberg became the first actress to win Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards and Golden Globe Awards. ("Whoopi Goldberg on How Patrick Swayze Convinced Her to Make Ghost: ‘He Was Sexy and Sweet’", Charna Flam and Andrea Mandell, People, 2024, "Whoopi Goldberg Makes Honest Confession About ‘Ghost’ Co-Star Patrick Swayze", Rachelle Lewis, Parade, 2026 & IMDb) P.S: On this day, 36 years ago, "Ghost" (1990) was released in the USA.
