Pretty in Pink star Andrew McCarthy shares rare photo of daughter Willow on her prom night with nostalgic nod to 80s classic
Pretty in Pink alum Andrew McCarthy shared a rare snap of his 18-year-old daughter Willow wearing her blue prom dress in Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday. 'My daughter Willow went to her prom tonight,' the 62-year-old Brat Packer announced to his 539K Facebook followers. 'She did not wear pink.' The Nord Anglia International School Dublin grad has already been accepted into NYU's class of 2029 - the same college her famous father was expelled from. Willow is every bit the nepo baby having acted in three Broadway plays by the age of 13, and her last professional credit was playing Lisa Spencer in Michael Morrissey's 2021 horror film The Girl Who Got Away.

She did not wear pink' Andrew and his second wife of 13 years - Irish theatre director Dolores Rice - are also proud parents of 11-year-old son Rowan. McCarthy fathered 23-year-old son Sam - last seen acting in Disney+ reboot Goosebumps: The Vanishing - during his six-year marriage to NYU sweetheart Carol Schneider, which ended in 2005. And in 2021, the nepo baby impressively scored a SAG Award nomination for being apart of the talented ensemble behind Netflix's Dead to Me. The eighties heartthrob's caption was referring to Howard Deutch's 1986 romantic dramedy Pretty in Pink, in which his rich character Blane attempts to woo back poor girlfriend Andie (Molly Ringwald) at the prom. On June 7, Andrew reunited with his Pretty in Pink castmate Jon Cryer as well as fellow Brat Packers Ally Sheedy and Demi Moore at the Tribeca premiere of his Hulu documentary Brats in Lower Manhattan. Between 2015–2023, McCarthy directed 26 episodes of NBC's The Blacklist, which starred his Pretty in Pink bestie James Spader. Last July, Rob Lowe revealed he's been developing a sequel for Joel Schumacher's 1985 film St. Elmo's Fire with Columbia Pictures, so the New Jersey-born travel writer might get to reprise his character Kevin Dolenz. 'The studio and I have been talking about doing it for about four months,' the 61-year-old Emmy nominee told ET. '[Andrew's doc] Brats has only added to the excitement around it. But it's very, very, very, very, very early stages, so we will see.' McCarthy fathered 23-year-old son Sam - last seen acting in Disney+ reboot Goosebumps: The Vanishing (pictured) - during his six-year marriage to NYU sweetheart Carol Schneider, which ended in 2005 Mare Winningham, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Demi Moore, and Emilio Estevez also starred in the dismally-reviewed drama about seven Georgetown University graduates, which earned $37.8M from a $10M budget at the box office. The song St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for two weeks in 1985, and Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire (the instrumental theme) reached No. 15. Andrew will soon make his acting comeback in Jonathan Baker's upcoming romance Fate alongside Harvey Keitel, Faye Dunaway, and Mena Suvari. McCarthy has an acting role in Jaco Bouwer's sci-fi flick Orion, which began post production on February 26. Andrew is also known for his memorable roles in Mannequin (1987), Less Than Zero (1987), and Weekend at Bernie's (1989).

Clone Robotics unveil "Protoclone', a faceless android with lifelike movements that can "bleed to death" if stabbed
Clone Robotics, a Polish startup, has introduced Protoclone, a faceless musculoskeletal android with astonishingly lifelike movements. The prototype, still in development, is designed to mimic the natural human gait using synthetic muscles beneath translucent skin. The six-foot robot has over 500 sensors and 1,000 artificial muscle fibers, making it capable of intricate movements, but it still faces skepticism from the public due to its unsettling appearance. A video shared by the company shows Protoclone twitching its limbs, hanging from the ceiling with a bowed head, while ominous music plays in the background. While some viewers find the robot's lifelike motions fascinating, others are disturbed by its faceless design, leading to comparisons with 'sleep paalysis demons'. One social media user humorously suggested, "Can you just draw a smiley face on the head, please?"

However, the prototype is not yet able to walk unaided like its competitors, such as Tesla's Optimus or Boston Dynamics' Atlas. Despite this, Clone Robotics aims to develop robots capable of performing complex tasks like pouring drinks, doing laundry, and vacuuming floors. The co-founder of Clone Robotics mentioned on X that "you can stab it with a fork and it will bleed out," a statement that further fueled public intrigue and concern.

The International Space Station is hidden in this gorgeous photo of the moon. Can you spot it?
A stunning new photo shows the International Space Station passing in front of the moon. The ISS appears tiny against the moon's vastness — and it's almost 239,000 miles closer. Can you see the ISS? The photo has another Easter egg too — a site for future human moon landings. The moon isn't Earth's only iconic satellite. The International Space Station is up there too, circling the planet 16 times each day. You just don't see it. A stunning new photo shows just how small the football-field-sized orbiting laboratory is compared to the moon. Take a look: Can you see the space station? Here's a hint: It's near the boundary between light and dark. Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy captured this image of the ISS as its orbit carried it across the face of the moon, from his perspective in Arizona. The ISS is about 250 miles away, and the moon is about 239,000 miles away. Let's zoom in a little closer. Do you see the ISS now? It's right here, near the top: "I think there's a very nice juxtaposition," McCarthy told Business Insider of the photo, adding that the ISS has "a haphazard-looking design with the way the radiators jut out and the solar panels jut out," next to the moon's rugged, natural craters. It was daytime, which lends the image a "soft, pastel-y look," he said. Taking a photo like this is no easy feat. To capture the few seconds when the ISS zoomed across the moon's face, McCarthy said he had to drive three hours to set up his telescope and computer equipment in the right area and point it to exactly the right spot of the sky at exactly the right time. Once he'd pulled over to the side of a dirt road and set up all his equipment, McCarthy said he was racing to solve technical problems and get the shot. The sun was bright, which made it difficult to see the computer screen where he was recording what his telescope saw. "I had no idea if it was really in focus," he said. Then, one of his laptops died. No matter, McCarthy thought, because he had two different telescope-laptop-camera stations in case this happened. He sells prints of these photos, after all. However, the second station's camera wasn't recording enough frames per second. By the time he'd swapped cameras, there were only two minutes left until the space station zoomed past — and his telescope was looking at the wrong part of the moon. McCarthy recalled the final moments of his telescope drama: "I try to keep my cool, to slowly pan across the moon until I get to the area where I know the station is going to transit. The moment I get there, I see the station zip through the screen." McCarthy wasn't sure if he'd gotten a crisp image until he reloaded the video, scanned through the 6,000 images in it to find the moment of the space station's transit, and looked at each frame. He was relieved to see the result. "It was amazing — like the best one I've ever done," he said. McCarthy stayed at the spot for another hour to slowly pan his telescope across the rest of the moon, capturing each portion of it in the same crisp, zoomed-in field of vision. He stacked and stitched together about 108,000 images to get a complete, high-resolution mosaic of the entire moon with the ISS. There's another Easter egg in this photo, too. Near the top you can see Shackleton Crater on the lunar south pole. NASA is eyeing the area around that 13-mile-wide depression for its next human moon landing — the first mission to put astronauts on the lunar surface since 1972. Scientists believe that permanently shadowed craters on the lunar south pole are rich in frozen water, which will be a crucial resource for expanding further into deep space. Water can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to fuel rocket launches — perhaps enough fuel to launch from the moon to Mars. The ISS, meanwhile, is aging and due for retirement in the 2030s. McCarthy's new image shows two eras of space exploration — the space-station era coming to a close and the moon-base era that NASA and its business partners are forging anew. "In this photo, you're looking at the pinnacle of human ingenuity and engineering," McCarthy said. "The space station has taught us so much about the human body, and it's given us a lot of information that we're going to use as we continue to pursue those seemingly impossible frontiers."
