Director Michael Showalter topped the box office for the first time with "Verity." "It's a vibe, it's kind of unhinged," Showalter tells me of the erotic psychological thriller. “I was just like, ‘I want to make a movie that feels provocative.'" njmonthly.com/articles/jerse…

.@NYCMayor arrives at Marble Hill presser to protests chants. Says he’s been on phone with President Trump and Sec. Mullin for past two hours trying to negotiate ICE’s release of the man they shot earlier tonight. He was unsuccessful.

I am angry tonight. Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Tonight, I signed an executive order appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell sexual assault case. New information has raised serious questions about how this case was handled, and I’ve lost faith in the Tompkins County DA’s ability to fairly oversee it. The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

He's smoother than smooth. He has a song of the summer. He debuted at Coachella & Lollapalooza in 2026. And he's headed to NJ for the Sea Hear Now festival. I talked to 54 Ultra, Jersey's very own JohnAnthony Rodriguez! 📸: Kyle Keli'Ikoa, Muriel Margaret njmonthly.com/articles/arts-…

Shared a bit about me, and yes — my meme moment — with @AmyKup for my home state magazine @NJMonthly
Talked to NBC News correspondent Julie Tsirkin all about the meme that made her the toast of a rainy Memorial Day weekend. Tsirkin, who went viral for her reaction to gunshots near the White House, grew up right here in Jersey City. njmonthly.com/articles/news/… @news_jul #WhatisThat
