Barry Manilow Opens Up About Health Crisis, New Album and Making Fans Happy

Image
For more than five decades, Barry Manilow has been the soundtrack to pure joy. With timeless hits like “Mandy,” “Copacabana” and “I Write the Song,” the Grammy-, Tony- and Emmy winning singer-songwriter has built one of the most devoted fan bases in history. At 82, he’s looking forward, not back. His 33rd studio album, What a Time (out June 5), marks a return to the eclectic, melody-driven music that made him a star. The previously unreleased tracks, which he has worked on over multiple decades, are a blend of jazz, pop and sweeping balladry. The lead single, “Once Before I Go,” was written by Manilow’s friend, Peter Allen, who first played it for the musician years ago. “I knew I was too young to be honest about a song like that,” he says. “Cut to present day, and super-producer Clive Davis asked Manilow, “Have you ever heard of a song called ‘Once Before I Go?’ You should record that.

'Today' Hosts Cosign Steven Spielberg's Belief That Aliens Are Real

Humans have questioned the existence of life on other planets for centuries — including celebrities such as Demi Lovato , Tom DeLonge and Gigi Hadid.  Lovato opened up about watching the 2020 documentary  Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind on the “Wild Ride! with Steve-O” podcast in April of that year. The film explores the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations and how they can make contact with humans.  “The first encounter would be, like, seeing a UFO,” Lovato explained. “The second would be some kind of proof being left behind. The third encounter would be, like, you have some sort of interaction with the alien. The fourth is, like, you’re on board, you get abducted and then the fifth is human-initiated contact with aliens. I sound nuts right now.” DeLonge, for his part, is a longtime believer in aliens and UFOs. The Blink-182 musician revealed in February 2015 that he’s read 200 books about extraterrestrials. “I don’t spend my time looking ...

We Found Nicole Kidman's 5-Figure Crossbody Bag Style for $11,677 Less

Styles come and go, but a sleek black bag isn’t going anywhere. Just ask Nicole Kidman , who proved that the right black crossbody goes beyond trends, and makes any outfit appear expensive. Her exact bag is in the five-figure price range, but we found the look for just $23 — and it’s selling out. Kidman arrived at a pre-Met Gala dinner looking like she stepped out of a Parisian fashion magazine. Her all-black getup was classy, but the real scene-stealer was her Chanel 2.55 purse.
