‘Frantz': Between Truth and Lies
The story is set in a battered post-World War I Europe struggling to recover. French director François Ozon's take on Maurice Rostand's 1925 play, 'The Man I Killed' ('L'homme que j'ai tue,') brings more than lost souls back to life. Instead, it exposes the deep emotional scars war leaves on people, not just countries.

Is the viral Salt Hank French dip sandwich worth the price and wait?
Salt Hank French Dip sandwich at Salt Hank's in New York City – Photo courtesy of Casey Clark Last week I was strolling around New York City and saw a huge line of people waiting to get into a restaurant, so I went to check it out. It turns out viral recipe developer and cookbook author Henry Laporte (who goes by Salt Hank on social media and has accumulated millions of followers) has opened a sandwich shop. This isn't your traditional sandwich shop. There's only two items on the lunch menu: a French dip sandwich and fries. (Well, there are some non-alcoholic drink options too, but that's it.) Since Salt Hank's opened earlier this summer, people have been lining up and waiting anywhere from one to three hours for a Salt Hank French dip sandwich. I spoke with a hostess named Quinn, who said people start lining up around 10 a.m., and they often sell out of the coveted sandwiches by 3 p.m. So far, the most French dips they've made in a day is 304. She said people have flown in from as far away as Australia to try the Salt Hank French dip. Advertisement What's the Salt Hank French dip?

The meat is topped with provolone cheese, seven-hour caramelized onions, and an aioli seasoned with horseradish, chive, and roasted garlic. The sandwich comes with a savory au jus. You can see hundreds of mouthwatering social media posts from patrons. I'd say the sandwich is bigger in real life; videos and photos simply don't capture its thickness. Where is Salt Hank's? Exterior of Salt Hank's on Bleecker Street in New York City – Photo courtesy of Casey Clark Salt Hank's is located at 280 Bleecker Street. You'll know when you're getting close, because you'll see a long line down the block. I waited 45 minutes to get inside and then an additional 10 minutes for my sandwich. You order at the bar and then take a seat or take your food to go. The inside of Salt Hank's is pretty small with only a few tables, so if you're banking on eating there, you might have to wait to sit down. How much is the Salt Hank's sandwich?

Daniel Rubenfeld, formerly at Thomas Keller's chophouse TAK Room, heads up the kitchen, and LaPorte often can be seen preparing sandwiches alongside his employees.

Viral recipe developer Henry Laporte in his element – Photo courtesy of Casey Clark Upon my first bite, my eyes quite literally almost rolled to the back of my head — it was that good. The prime rib was moist and juicy and melted right in my mouth. The au jus softened the bread, which made the sandwich even easier to eat. I loved the caramelized onions, which added extra sweetness and texture. I wish there had been a bit more cheese, but that's more of a personal preference.

Back in the ‘60s I got all dolled up — with my very own lookalike toy
Post goes on foot patrol A letter to the NY Post reads in part: 'I have a Cindy doll that was given to me when I was a child. Somehow through various moves, the shoes are missing. Any chance she has an extra pair to complete this beautiful doll? Thank you for showing her this letter.' Signed Susan. This note triggered an odyssey, bouncing from editor to editor-in-chief to me. In the '60s, before Biden's first dribble, the Horsman Doll Co. created look-alikes of the most famous, talked about or most whoknowswhat VIPs. The company picked them — the people did not. How I became one of that tribe, who knows. The Cindy dolls in my red, white and black colors, sandal shoes and dark hair looked better than I did. The no longer company was sold to a foreign manufacturer. I still own three such dolls. All have shoes. So, Susan: Find a store that sells dolls. Buy one wearing black shoes. Go home. Lose the doll. Keep the shoes. Then glue them onto Cindy's feet. Tell us the doll's cost and I will personally immediately reimburse you. I can hardly sleep knowing my look-alike's shoeless. Other ways: The Internet can find doll hospitals, used dolls, places that sell old dolls and salable parts. Even a neighborhood shoemaker could put black leather strips together. Also in the '60s Ralph Destino, then Cartier's longtime president, did a display of gold jewelry designed by me. If Susan wants anything from Cartier, I'm not reimbursing her. Hit with bum rap Another rapper in the crapper. Busta Rhymes. Being sued by his ex-personal assistant, who earned $200 a day, claims he was yelled at, smacked in his head. Says Busta busted his chops, forced him to run red lights, claims he's blacklisted in the hip-hop industry, now wants back in, plus a few quid cash. Busta says it's all false and a shakedown. Accredited role Oscar winner Dustin — is there another Dustin? — just turned 88. He says: 'I wanted to be a jazz pianist — but wasn't good enough. Went to Santa Monica City College because I lacked the credits for any university. Acting was the only way to get credits. A friend said acting was like gym — nobody fails you.' One of the royal err force Coming up is 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York' the first of 9 million Epstein books. Supposedly exposes Clinton, Prince Andrew and a partridge in a pear tree. Brit author's Andrew Lownie. It's HarperCollins. Everyone's in it. Alleging Andrew and Clinton shared the same mistress he relies on 'exclusive' open Palm Beach throats. Listen, Palm Beach throats don't shut even to chew steak. He's even got a press agent making the rounds, asking for whoever wants to interview him. A jeweler was approached by a fund-raiser for a 'worthy cause.' Jeweler: 'My brother supports six children. My elderly sister hasn't worked in 30 years. My uncle's on relief. My father has no food. You call all that a worthy cause?' Said the fund-raiser: 'Of course.' Jeweler: 'Well, I don't do a damn thing for these people. Why should I do something for you?' For sure only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz reveal vow renewal 3 years after they married
Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham had a wedding so nice they decided to do it twice. The couple, who married in Palm, Beach, Florida, in April 2022, on Aug. 11 shared photos from a vow renewal ceremony. They gushed about the event in their Instagram captions, with Brooklyn, 26, writing, "Forever my girl." Nicola, 30, wrote, "this day meant so much to us" and "in every lifetime." On her Instagram story, "The Last Airbender" actress also shared a fan account's side-by-side photos comparing her vow renewal look to model mom Claudia Heffner Peltz wearing the same dress in her own wedding pictures. Nicola's father, businessman and investor Nelson Peltz, officiated the ceremony, with brother Brad − who was the "man of honor" at the Peltz Beckhams' 2022 wedding − also in attendance. A post shared by 𝓃𝒾𝒸𝑜𝓁𝒶 (@nicolaannepeltzbeckham) Brooklyn told People magazine on Aug. 6 that "it was beautiful." She added: "To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her." Per the magazine, the ceremony took place on Aug. 2. The photographer and hot sauce brand founder, who has a tattoo with his original vows, said, "These ones were actually longer than my original ones." He called three years of marriage with Nicola "a never-ending play date" and opened up about their low-key dynamic. "We don't like to go out for dinner, really. We don't like to party or anything like that. When we are together, which is a lot of the time, we just hang out with our four dogs, and drink wine at home," he said. David, Victoria Beckham took a European family vacation Though Brooklyn's parents, David and Victoria Beckham, attended his 2022 wedding, they didn't appear in the photos shared by the couple. USA TODAY has reached out to the Beckhams for comment. Previously, in February 2024, Victoria Beckham showed her support alongside sons Cruz and Brooklyn at the premiere of Nicola's directorial debut, "Lola," in Los Angeles. Following the 2022 ceremony, both Victoria and David Beckham shared posts welcoming Nicola to the family. In the days before the vow renewal ceremony, the Beckhams shared European vacation photos showing the family – including David, Victoria, Cruz, Harper and Romeo – enjoying time together on a yacht and at a French truffle restaurant. How did Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham meet? Speaking for Glamour's June cover story, the couple opened up about their memorable first impressions when they met while dating other people. "The first time I saw Nicola at Coachella [in 2017], I was instantly drawn to her. She was gorgeous, obviously, but it was her warmth and energy that stuck with me. Even though it was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, I never forgot it," Brooklyn said. Nicola told the magazine: "It was brief, but I felt something. I had a boyfriend, he had a girlfriend – but there was this instant charm. He took a few photos of me, and somehow that moment stayed with me for years." The two revealed their engagement in 2020. They also explained the decision to change both of their names, with Nicola saying, "For me, it really mattered. Especially as a woman. If you don't want to give up your name, combining them is a good solution." As for public scrutiny, which both had experienced growing up in notable families, Brooklyn said, "Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together."
