Parade.com spoke to Ballerini last week before her positive COVID-19 test, and she talked about how she and Mackie met briefly last year when Ballerini was hosting the CMTs with Brown and Mackie attended to present the Video of the Year Award, but this year’s Grammy Awards, at which the duo presented Best Country Album to Chris Stapleton, was the first opportunity for them to really spend time together. “At the Grammys, we were trying to figure out what our rapport is going to be, what’s going to be our hosting vibe going into the show,” Ballerini tells Parade....

There was no guarantee anybody was going to do anything,” creator Chris Coelen previously told Deadline. “Nobody had to fall in love; nobody had to get engaged; nobody had to make it to the altar; nobody had to get married.

In the photo, Hargitay stands smiling big next to none other than Christopher Meloni, as the two rock all the popular fashion from decades past. Unfortunately, the photo is a manipulation. Created by @micayla_zee on Twitter, Hargitay is superimposed into a photo of Meloni from 1990. Regardless, the stitching work was excellent, and Hargitay appreciated the effort enough to feel compelled to share it with fans of their Law & Order characters....

Chasez joined fellow NSYNC vocalists Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick on the app yesterday with a video he posted that also doubled as the debut of his new hair-do. In the video posted to his new account, Chasez can be seen fumbling with the camera before becoming the next victim of the “millennial pause” (or taking a brief moment to stare soullessly into the camera). “How’s this sh*t work?...

My name is Sarah Boutwell, and I am a photographer and the founder of Beauty of Women in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 12.

“There’s always that light that Jamie and Claire, Roger and Bree, and Fergus [César Domboy] and Marsali [Lauren Lyle] can bring to it, that shines a light into that darkness and drives it out,” Roberts recently told Parade. “But I think in the story you must start in a dark place and then let the light shine.” One way the light will shine this season is the continued passion that Jamie and Claire feel for each other....
