Vampire Weekend gives penultimate performance on Sunday at Boston Calling (Photos)
Indie rock band Vampire Weekend gave the second-to-last performance of Boston Calling's final night, dazzling audiences with newer material and hits from their early years in the 2000s.
Lead vocalist Ezra Koenig, joined by bassist Chris Baio, drummer Chris Tomson and others, serenaded audiences to tunes such as 'Campus,' 'A-Punk' and 'Classical.'
Vampire Weekend's set on the Green Stage was sandwiched between ska punk band Sublime, who preceded them, and rock headliner Dave Matthews Band, the final act of the music festival's three-day run.

Wordle hints today for #1,465: Clues and answer for Monday, June 23
Hey, there! Welcome to the start of a new week. Whenever you need a little "me time" today, there's a fresh round of Wordle to keep you company. To help keep your streak intact, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Monday's puzzle (#1,465). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Sunday, June 22 — THRUM Saturday, June 21 — GLADE Friday, June 20 — TAUPE Thursday, June 19 — CURIO Wednesday, June 18 — MUNCH Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: In a strange, perhaps uneven way. There is a pair of repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is O. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... ODDLY Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Comedian Recalls 'Creepy and Weird' Encounters With Ellen DeGeneres
Comedian Recalls 'Creepy and Weird' Encounters With Ellen DeGeneres originally appeared on Parade. Margaret Cho is opening up about her "creepy and weird" experiences with Ellen DeGeneres, calling the TV show host 'not nice.' In an interview on The Kelly Mantle Showon Wednesday, June 18, Cho shared that DeGeneres had been rude to her throughout her career, especially when they crossed paths in the '80s and later when Cho appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the 2000s. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬'I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs, [and] later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she acted like we just met. And I'm like, 'B****, what?' Like, that's weird. We go way back… It's so creepy and weird,' Cho shared in the interview. Cho, 56, also recounted a moment when David Bowie praised her outfit at his concert, only for DeGeneres, 67, to cut his praise from the show. 'The producer, who's a really good friend of mine, had to call me and tell me, 'I can't believe she did this, but she cut it out of the show. But you need to know that he was going on and on about your outfit. He loves you. God said your name,'' Cho stated. While she acknowledged maybe she cut it in the interest of time, but still called it 'so rude.' A clip from the interview was shared on Instagram, which racked up quite a few comments from fans of Cho. 'David Bowie loved your outfit, so you are blessed forever,' one noted. A second shared, 'Pretty sure I knew about Margret Cho before I knew about Ellen. ❤️ Just sayin.' 'It speaks volumes that David Bowie loved you but Ellen didn't,' another commented. Cho's not alone with her complaints about the comedian. Celebs like Brad Garrett, Lea Thompson and Kathy Griffin have also expressed receiving mistreatment from DeGeneres. The former TV show host has since addressed the backlash, acknowledging the contrast between her "Be kind" mantra and her public persona in her 2024 stand-up special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval. 'Here's the problem: I'm a comedian who got a talk show and I ended the show every day by saying, 'Be kind to one another.' Had I ended my show by saying, 'Go f*** yourselves,' people would've been pleasantly surprised to find out I'm kind.'

Paige Spiranac Confirms Theory About Her Golf Game: 'Science is Right'
Paige Spiranac Confirms Theory About Her Golf Game: 'Science is Right' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is once again proving that her signature golf style isn't just for show. Advertisement On Sunday, the social media star and former pro golfer posted a lighthearted message on X, reflecting on a not-so-great day on the course and how her outfit may have played a role. 'If you've been following me for awhile you know I have this working theory that I play better when I wear less clothes,' Spiranac wrote. 'Can confirm that science is right once again. I played like 💩 today.' The post included a photo of Spiranac in a sporty but more covered look than her usual on-course outfits. She wore a light gray, short-sleeved button-up shirt with thin stripes, paired with black shorts and white sneakers with yellow accents. Her outfit was completed with a blue visor, dark sunglasses and her blonde hair tied back, perfect for the summer heat but not, in her view, for her swing. Advertisement The 32-year-old golf personality is known for posting about golf, fashion and sports commentary. She often shares videos of her playing golf, giving tips and reviewing golf equipment.

In a separate post few days ago, Spiranac cleared up a rumor after a video of a woman falling from a golf cart went viral. Many thought it was her, but she responded by saying, 'This is not me. We all know I wouldn't be wearing a polo.' Spiranac also helps promote the Grass League, a growing Par 3 golf league, where she takes part in media coverage and content creation. On Instagram, she recently shared selfies from the course wearing another golf outfit that included a white tank top and a blue pleated skirt. Advertisement Spiranac has over four million followers across Instagram and X. She often uses her platforms to mix golf content with personal updates and opinions about the sport. Though Spiranac admitted to a bad round, her outfit and comment drew attention and reactions from her fans once again.
