Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty Pop-Up Wraps Up Emmy Weekend,

 By Laura Medina









Mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?

According to Selena Gomez, doing her Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush launch, any and all and every one is the fairest.

Once you enter her Rare Beauty fun house, the first thing greeting you is a scanner, disguised as a mirror. You smile at the scanner. It scans your face, your shade, and complexion. It instantly shows you the right shade of Soft Pinch Liquid Blush.

It’ll give you a QR code to receive that color-matched liquid blush for free, at checkout.

Since it’s all blush, there are blushing stations where makeup artists let you try the powdered blushes and highlighter and the liquid blushes.

If you buy the puffy tote bag, you can get initialed and embroidered.

Rare Beauty pop-up staff are nice. They’re considered enough to hand out popsicles and canned water to those, patiently waiting in line, since 6am in the morning, for each day of the pop-up.

It was a weekend affair, started last Saturday at 11am until this Sunday night at 7pm.

Just in time for the “Only Murders in the Building,” star to get ready for tonight’s Primetime Emmys, the Oscars of tv.

Kelly Clarkson’s “Songs & Stories” Goes Prime Time.

 By Laura Medina


As a privileged, multiple-timed audience guest at Kelly Clarkson Talk Show, a many of times, her normal talk show segment with her fellow musicians has grown into a much more glamorous prime time talk show. That isn’t after midnight.

NBC save it at 10pm.

The set is more haute and more nightclub sizzling with neon lighting.

Kelly connecting with fellow singers and musicians is deeper with more feeling, best served at night, than during the afternoon.

But, it’s still early enough for pop culture curious tweens and hip acknowledged teens. 

Jennifer Hudson Show for September 26th & October 17th.

 By Laura Medina


Ssssshhhhh, the audience waiting foyer at The Jennifer Hudson Talk Show is Tinseltown’s best kept secret.

Jennifer thought of everything.

Not only is it pink plush with soft, comfortable sofas and couches to welcome into her home, it’s a selfie room, a mini costume museum and a guest souvenir shop. A great way to spend the time, waiting to get seated for the show.

Once settled, guests were impressed by whiz kids.

One of them is a boy genius, a scientist discussing the science of love.

He said that love is a combination of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. Once combined and targeted on a person, a place, and an experience, the heart pounds harder and faster as it grows fonder. When a couple share that oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine chemistry, their hearts beat in synchrony, simpatico.

That love elixir happens then work on experiences, that’s imprinting, purely biological.

That imprinting happens on objects and other non-romantic people, such as your relatives and friends and family.

Then, character actor, Tony Goldwyn, followed up, chatting about being a fourth-generation Hollywood actor and family. His daughter’s “Far From the Tree” podcast about the snarky nepotism. His break-out role in “Ghost” then the rude treatment he receives as a villain, forcing to tell people, he’s an actor. He is not his characters.

He still plays the villain in his latest movie, “No Place After Another.”

This segment will air September 26th.

Hip-Hop artist, Offset, will air October 17th.

Gen-Z’s “Oh Hi!” & “The Threesome” with Millennial “Splitsville” Open Marriage.

 By Laura Medina




Forget the Greatest Generation’s traditional courting then marriage, today’s Gen-Zers and Millennials are living out Baby Boomers’ wishes, ideals, and desires in “The Threesome” and “Oh Hi!” and open marriage in “Splitsville.”

Not only are Gen-Z and Millennials are living the ideals  of open marriages and multiple partners with kids, they’re reconfiguring social norms while experiencing the realities, the stress, and the challenges of getting multiple partners pregnant at the same time in “The Threesome,” incompatible expectations with BSDM kink (awkward “Fifty Shades of Grey) in “Oh Hi!” With the stress and jealousy while forming a community of ex-lovers in open marriage “Splitsville.”

The writers-producers of “Splitsville,” wrote Dakota Johnson’s affluent Trad Wife’s dialogue based on how Johnson actually speaks in real life.

All three of these movies are transforming then defining new types of relationships and love.
