Guy Lodge Film Critic There’s a very young, very online contingent of Generation Z that propagates repeated cycles of so-called “age gap discourse”: heated, often condemnatory debate over the rights or wrongs of people dating, or merely socializing, outside their immediate age group. The discussion often takes quaintly prudish forms, permitting no adult age at which such differences cease to matter, but if it circulates most heatedly among the young, it’s been handed down to them via age-old social rules and biases — ones to which Nathan Silver‘s delightful “Between the Temples” gives a cheerfully flippant middle finger.

Anyone with more than a passing interest in the weird and wonderful will have seen, if not heard of, the Patterson-Gimlin footage, the cryptoozological equivalent of the Zapruder film. Shot in 1967 in the forests of Northern Carolina, it purports to show a large, ape-like creature with an elongated forehead striding purposefully into the trees.

Mama June Shannon’s teeth after her veneers appeared to be “rotten” in a recent TikTok. The 44-year-old “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” reality TV star showed off her chompers while documenting her trying different restaurants in Covington, Georgia, on TikTok.Her white teeth got progressively more stained as she enjoyed ice cream with sprinkles, gelatos, macaroons, and a pizza shop.“Here on the Coving Square, we’re going to show you what they’re all about,” she told the camera, putting her questionable mouth on full display. “We literally have shown support to small businesses here on the Square.

Dolly Parton to give us gifts on her birthday?And if hearing the country queen rock out to “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Heart of Glass” and “Let It Be” — with help from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Debbie Harry and freaking Paul McCartney, respectively — on her “Rockstar” album released last November wasn’t enough, well, here’s more Dolly for your headbanging pleasure.“It’s my Birthday so I’m going to give you a present!” Parton announced on Instagram.“I’m releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album.“I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you all have a happy birthday for me!

Between the Temples, directed by Nate Silver and written by Silver and C. Mason, is an exploration of grief, faith and self-discovery.

If you’re feeling in a bit of a style rut or just need some extra fashion inspiration to get you through the cold January slog there’s no one better to turn to than celebs, especially when they’re known for their love of high street and mid-price pieces. Finding an item that’s not only celeb-approved but also comes with an affordable price tag is the holy grail of fashion, and it seems there’s one premium retailer who seems to keep coming out on top – Karen Millen.

There’s nothing better than that just-stepped-out-the-salon feeling you get after a great hair appointment, and we know we’re not alone in wanting to put off that first wash for as long as you can to maintain the silky smooth finish your hair has. However, washing it is, of course inevitable, and no matter how hard we try we can never seem to replicate that soft, glossy feeling our hair has after our stylist has had their hands on it.
