Gwyneth Paltrow has been popping up in unexpected places this year. She was in court in March, dressed impeccably, and won $1 after being found not at fault for a ski crash. She was on a cruise ship. And on Friday evening at 3 Dollar Bill, a queer club in the East Williamsburg neighborhood of…
Surely no one with a sweet tooth and a pulse can resist a skillet-size giant chocolate chip cookie (above). I certainly can’t. It’s so much easier and quicker than the usual cookies you have to scoop and bake in batches, since here you just press the dough directly into the pan. The payoff is eating…
In case you missed it, Pharrell Williams unveiled his highly anticipated first collection for Louis Vuitton menswear last night in Paris, on the Pont Neuf bridge.

Did some unseen force take a blue pencil to all the slack narratives, rehashed inspirations, derivative references that prevailed in recent seasons? Suddenly everything seemed crisp and focused, like early Hemingway after he’d…
In a garden she developed by the corner of a building on Purdue University’s campus, in West Lafayette, Ind., Janna L. Beckerman invites trouble. The goal of this “disease garden,” as Dr. Beckerman, a professor of plant pathology, calls it, is to get botany and horticulture students up close and personal with what she refers…
More Than Likes is a series about social media personalities who are trying to do positive things for their communities.
