Before the splashy pool party gig, when Ora disembarked her water taxi and took in Fire Island for the first time, the British star could be heard saying, "This is so fun. I'm gagged — gagged!" In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Ora said, "Everybody's warned me that once you get on [the island] it's gonna be hard to get off. I'm like, story of my life!" Why does she adore her loyal LGBTQ fans so much "They're just in a league of their own," says Ora. "There is so much to learn from the years and history of the constant struggle of being authentically themselves. There's so much to it." "Yes, they're amazing and they know just how to have a good time, but they celebrate individuality, creativity," she continues. "The conversations they have amongst each other is just full of love.

Earlier this year, Ora wrapped a tour with Kylie Minogue, and she's set to join Ricky Martin on stops in Australia soon. She says she loves being on the road and "seeing people that have really studied my lyrics and know my songs and sing it back to me." "Even if it's just one person," she says, "it feels to me like I'm doing the right thing. Truly it's the only thing I know how to do. Touring live really reminds me of that community that I've been a part of and also gaining new fans — it's constantly evolving. I'm really proud to say I've been doing this for, like, 12-plus years and I'm not about to stop now." Ora will be ready for a vacation, though. "My summer plan is to just have as much fun as I possibly can, because I work so much," she says. "I think my friends are like, 'You really need to enjoy yourself.' So when I'm on holiday I'm actually gonna just be on holiday: drink, not go on my phone, not care about tomorrow." Read the original article on People

Fire Island Inlet Bridge reopens after sudden inspection for falling debris
The Fire Island Inlet Bridge, the only bridge to one of New York's most popular beaches, was closed for hours Monday for an unscheduled safety inspection. State engineers abruptly shut down the 60-year-old bridge on Long Island after a boat captain saw an object fall from it. Bridge to Fire Island abruptly shut down The captain of a fishing boat that launched from Captree State Park reported the mystery object falling from the Fire Island Inlet Bridge late Sunday night, prompting an abrupt shut down. "I was going under the bridge in another part. He was on the other end and he said a piece fall off," Captain Joe Dlabola said. "He said it was pretty big. A big, gigantic splash." Dlabola said he was concerned about what else could fall from the span, which has had corrosion problems. "We know it's not in the best of shape and now we have concerns. What does it mean for the rest of our summer?" Stephanie Eggers, of North Babylon, said. "They've been doing work on it for years, and when you drive over it, it's not the greatest. You cross your fingers." Beachgoers forced to regroup The bridge is the last segment of three spans leading from Long Island's mainland to Robert Moses State Park. The shut down meant some beachgoers had to rethink their plans. "This was the second best thing I could do. But I really want to get over to the ocean," one person said. Some kids missed the ocean waves. "It's not so clear and the waves are like that, not as fun," one child said. "There is no lifeguard here. You've got to be careful," Pietrina Rosato, of West Islip, said. Others were concerned it could be abruptly closed again. "I would be very upset. We buy the beach pass and there is no other way to get on it. It's the only bridge," Faith Ferrante, of West Islip, said. Bridge clears initial safety inspections, state says The New York Department of Transportation said two inspections of the bridge on Monday "determined that is structurally sound and safe for travel." The bridge reopened, but boats were still being diverted to one side. "Who knows. It could happen anywhere," Dlabola said. A spokesperson said another inspection would be conducted overnight out of an abundance of caution. So there will only be one open lane until noon Tuesday. We asked the New York DOT how often the bridge is usually inspected and are waiting to hear back. Fire Island

And Just Like That recap: Someone, please give Patti LuPone the mic
Duncan loves 'the woman'! It stopped him in his tracks! It has a modern sensibility anchored in a completely grounded and beautifully detailed tableau! 'The woman' is vibrant and completely alive! Has there been a gas leak in their building? Sidenote: speaking of books with fierce women protagonists, Carrie is holding her dress up with a copy of Monkey Grip on the way home from Hotfellas, when she first lies to Miranda about Richard Burton having 'dog cancer'. That makes two sightings of Helen Garner books in Carrie's grip this season. Is she leeching inspiration from our greatest literary export by osmosis? Loading Carrie spends Charlotte's perfectly weird party vibrating under his gaze, before of course ruining the fun party debrief with Miranda by being a scold. You told Aidan you wanted to sleep with other people, Carrie! Don't be stern to your friend who's encouraging you to do just that. I grabbed my calculator when she insisted that 'Aidan and I are over 20 years in'. Mama – I think when like 19 of those years are spent apart, out of contact, while he's raising three annoying kids with another woman, we have to start the calculations at zero again. Also in romantic hell is Lily, who got dumped by the poly ballerina we met once. I don't care, except that it sends Charlotte to a department store to buy Lily a 'life-isn't-over gift', where she runs into Harry! He's with another woman! Bonnie, dressed head to toe in Schiaparelli, is very clearly a personal shopper – but an episode-long Charlotte spiral about whether Harry's out cheating could've been fun. Another subplot this week is Seema getting an eyelash infection from visiting a neighbourhood beauty salon. They don't say the word 'ghetto' but everything else about it is offensive enough that they essentially did. It's fun to see Tomas Matos again after their breakout role in Fire Island. But like this? Also: why is the show trying to tell us a Manhattan realtor who works on commission and just sold Miranda a place $US150,000 over asking is pinching pennies?! The Seema/Adam storyline really picks up steam in this episode. He goes from plucking out her loose eyelash to dropping that he broke up with his girlfriend the second he smelled Seema's perfume. By the time he sings Bette Davis Eye (s) for her, the sexiness has kind of evaporated for me – but not for Seema. She declares cabs can, actually, be sexy while going to town in the backseat of one with Adam. Before being reamed out by Carrie, Miranda barrels into the house with a silver jumpsuit, two bunches of pink helium balloons filled with confetti, Brady and a karaoke machine. Her enthusiasm about all this makes me worried she's drinking again. After last week's outing to a funeral, the gang is all back together again under more fun circumstances. To appropriate a joke from Vanderpump Rules: this party is a real who's who: you look around going, 'Who? Who?' Henry, LTW's youngest, puts on a 'full-blown one-boy cabaret' before everyone is cruel to Miranda and leaves her hanging. Joy, get up there! Save your girl from yet another public hazing ritual! Charlotte's gallery girls 'don't buy gifts for anyone who owns in New York', which makes me love them. Bitsy Von Muffling is there. Sure! Can we get a spin-off with her and Gia, Giuseppe's mother? Carrie's lie about Richard Burton means people are shoving Harry out of the way to pay attention to the dog. It's not until the Wexleys arrive and Herbert acknowledges Harry that he feels like 'a person at this party'. (Herbert is, of course, played by Chris Jackson from the original Broadway cast of Hamilton. Like Patti, he does not sing in this episode. I'm suing.) Eventually, Harry collects the girls in the kitchen and tells them the truth. Charlotte is free of the baggage of her secret. The best gift he could've given her.
