Single and ready to mingle?   Jana Duggar   might be   an anomaly in her family , hitting 30 and still not married, but she’s OK with that. The  Counting On  star is the second oldest Duggar child (she is also the twin of  John-David ) and the eldest daughter of  Michelle Duggar  and  Jim Bob Duggar .

She has consistently spoken about her journey to romance and marriage — ...

MANILA -- After recovering from COVID-19, theater stalwart Joy Virata lent her voice to the Department of Health's (DOH) social media campaign amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The former artistic director of Repertory Philippines was quoted in a post on the DOH Facebook page on Monday as part of the agency's "Survivors Speak" campaign. According to Virata, she still does not know how or when she got infected by the virus, but she is certain about the importance of three things that will help prevent it from spreading.  "There is still a lot that is not known about this virus. But what is definite is that there are three simple rules that, if followed strictly by everyone, could lick this pest: wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer, strictly observe physical distancing, and wear a mask to protect others and hope everyone wears a mask to protect you," she said. It was last April when Virata  wrote  about her battle against the novel coronavirus which also aff...

Last year I wrote an article saying that mentors are overrated and that you should pursue finding  heroes  instead. Mentors are scarce; heroes are abundant. Mentors have to spend time with you; heroes don’t even have to know you exist. Mentors have limited advice (usually, due to time constraints), whereas you can watch heroes all day on YouTube. That’s something I learned from my ‘hero,’ Seth Godin. Here are ten other things I’ve learned from watching, reading, and consuming as much content as humanly possible created with, for, or by him. The lessons are going to be short, and I’ll provide links to where I got them. Let’s go! #1. Everyone is an artist We have no other option. Seth Godin is the author of more than 15 best-sellers. His books were translated into more than 35 languages. I’ve read many, but not all of them. ‘Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? ’  is   my favorite one. In the book, he describes the world in which we live to...

Joan Collins’s face is Touche Eclat perfect. Her wig doubles the size of her head and she’s wearing a huge black-and-white shagpile coat. Sitting across from the 83-year-old actress in Claridge’s, I feel the most drab I’ve ever felt in my life – and I’m even wearing shiny shoes. In a career spanning six decades and five marriages, Collins has done serious films (‘ Decadence ’), saucy films (‘ The Bitch ’ and ‘ The Stud ’) and is most famous for playing super-bitch Alexis Colby in ’80s TV show ‘Dynasty’.  She also took on another spiky character in ‘The Time of Their Lives’, a film comedy about a former actress breaking out of an old people’s home. In real life, Collins is like a glam aunt you want to sink a bottle of pinot with. She’s cutting, but in a way that’s an adrenaline rush rather than a kick in the guts. When I ask if we can take a picture together she inspects the photos then insists we do it again on her phone. When I ask how a recent dinner with friend David Hockne...
