Joe Jonas On Dating After Sophie Turner Divorce
Of course, you know Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner split back in 2023. They finalized their divorce last fall. The split was, at times, quite public — and since it's been finalized, the pair have wasted no time going their separate ways. Sophie dated British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson for about a year and a half; as of last month, there were rumors that their relationship was on thin ice, so we'll see. As for Joe, his brief relationship with model Stormi Bree came to a close last spring. So, Joe's got a new album out, Music for People Who Believe in Love. (I would've workshopped that title a bit more, but that's just me.) According to a recent interview he gave to TalkShopLive, one of the songs on the record, "One Love," was apparently inspired by a recent dating experience. 'I was seeing somebody at the time, and I was kind of having this idea of dating again," Joe said. "It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms, and I was rediscovering what that was.' 'And this person kinda comically, sarcastically was like, 'It's only love.'" 'And I was like, 'OK, it's a big deal to me,'" he continued. "And a big deal to them, too. But it's OK to take a leap of faith and just try again and just put yourself out there.' There you have it. Maybe we'll find out who, exactly, he was talking about one day, but I doubt it.

What Exactly Did Bob Marley Die From?
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Graham Wiltshire / Getty Bob Marley was more than just a musician—he was a cultural icon whose voice became synonymous with resistance, peace, and the pursuit of justice. Through timeless hits like 'One Love,' 'Redemption Song,' and 'Get Up, Stand Up,' the Jamaican singer-songwriter used his music to unite people across continents and inspire generations to rise against oppression and embrace love. His distinct blend of reggae, rock, and spirituality carved a new path for protest music, and his messages of equality and human rights continue to echo decades after his death. Born in the small village of Nine Mile in Jamaica, Marley rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His powerful lyrics and magnetic stage presence earned him worldwide acclaim and turned reggae into a global phenomenon. But just as Marley was reaching the pinnacle of his career, tragedy struck. According to People, Marley had just performed a two-night show at Madison Square Garden with his band, The Wailers, and was touring nonstop, before a seizure would change the trajectory of his career. While playing soccer with friends in Central Park, Marley had a seizure which ultimately helped doctors discover his acral lentiginous melanoma, a rare skin cancer that appears on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, or under the nails. Cases of acral lentiginous melanoma make up just 2%–3% of U.S. melanoma cases—about 2,000 cases overall, according to Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health Magazine. By the time doctors discovered Marley's cancer, it had tragically spread all across his body. Notably, the singer and activist was notified about his condition before the cancer spread. People noted that the Jamaican superstar was diagnosed with the condition before his seizure after he paid a visit to the doctor to treat a lesion under his toe on his right foot. Marley was under the impression that the lesion developed due to a soccer injury, 'but an opinion from a second doctor who biopsied the spot revealed that it was cancer.' Doctors recommended amputating the infected toe, but Marley wanted to go a different route. The singer had the nail and some of the impacted tissue from the area removed for a skin graft, but that wasn't enough to fight off his cancer. Marley went years without medical treatment following the surgery, which led to even more damage. In 1980, the singer was given only a few months to live after his cancer spread to his brain, lungs and organs, but he remained hopeful that his health would rebound. 'Him say, 'Listen, we're gonna fight it, all right? Regardless of what the doctors might say or what they might do, we're gonna fight it. 'Cause a Rasta never give up,'' the superstar's physician, Dr. Carlton 'Pee Wee' Fraser revealed in 2012's Marley . Source: Watal Asanuma/Shinko Music / Getty Following his final performance in Pittsburgh, Marley passed away on May 11, 1981, in Miami at just 36 years old. Though his life was tragically cut short, his influence only grew stronger in the years that followed. In 1994, Marley was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a recognition of the indelible mark he left on global music and culture, according to his website. His impact was further cemented in December 1999, when Time Magazine named his 1977 album Exodus the Album of the Century, while the BBC honored his anthem 'One Love' as the Song of the Millennium. Marley's popularity is reflected in the ongoing success of Legend , the greatest hits compilation released in 1984. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album has consistently sold more than 250,000 copies each year and ranks among a rare group, only the 17th album to surpass 10 million in U.S. sales since SoundScan began tracking in 1991. Though he was never nominated for a Grammy during his lifetime, Marley received the Recording Academy's Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. This prestigious honor is awarded to artists who have made lasting contributions of artistic significance to the recording industry. That same year, the documentary Rebel Music , directed by Jeremy Marre and chronicling Marley's life and career, received a Grammy nomination for Best Long Form Music Video. Also in 2001, Marley's legacy was commemorated in Hollywood, where he was awarded the 2,171st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He joined the ranks of other music legends such as Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, and The Temptations. In 2006, Marley's presence was further honored in Brooklyn, New York—home to one of the largest Caribbean communities in the United States—when an eight-block stretch of Church Avenue was officially renamed Bob Marley Boulevard. The tribute was made possible through the efforts of New York City Councilwoman Yvette D. Clarke, highlighting how deeply Marley's message continues to impact communities far from his Jamaican roots.

Eni Aluko, Ian Wright and a discussion on punditry that took a wrong turn
The former England international Eni Aluko's appearance on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour prompted lines to be drawn between her and fellow pundit Ian Wright. 'There's a finite amount of opportunities and I think that men need to be aware of that,' said Aluko, when asked whether it was wrong that Wright was covering women's football. The affair has been messy, with Aluko, a trailblazer in many areas, publicly apologising and Wright, a passionate champion of the women's game beloved by players and fans for that support, rejecting the apology. It has been a wholly disappointing episode that has, in focusing on Wright, drawn attention away from a legitimate conversation on whether the number of women pundits, commentators and presenters in football is improving. It is 11 years since Aluko became the first woman to appear as a pundit on Match of the Day, 18 since Jacqui Oatley became the flagship programme's first female commentator and 20 since Celina Hinchcliffe became the first woman to present the show. Things look very different today with two of the three-person team replacing Gary Lineker on MotD women, Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan joining Mark Chapman in sharing hosting duties being the most prominent example. Across TV and radio broadcast coverage of both men's and women's football female presenters, commentators and pundits are increasingly common. There is still work to be done though. There is a significant lack of ethnic diversity while, across journalism, class and disability are two woefully overlooked areas. One area that requires improvement is which games women are working on. For the England men's two most recent World Cup qualifying fixtures, against Albania and Latvia, not a single woman worked as a pundit, commentator or presenter on ITV's television coverage, and only one, Izzy Christiansen, provided co-commentary on the latter of the two fixtures for BBC Radio 5 Live. Broadcasters, as well as print and online media, need to do better, entrusting their showpiece fixtures to the excellent women on their rosters in both the women's and men's games with greater frequency. Diversity is not about being tokenistic. Research has repeatedly showed that, in business, diverse teams perform better. There can be little doubt that diversity, in all its forms, in sports broadcasting would prompt better, more rounded and broader conversations. The decision of Alex Scott, who is in a same-sex relationship, to wear the One Love rainbow armband and speak eloquently about its significance during coverage of the men's World Cup in Qatar, while players were silent on the issue, is an example of the impact diversity on the screen can have. Dinosaur views, particularly those aired on social media, will remain for as long as there are issues with gender equality in society. Outdated views on women are present in all industries to varying degrees. Gender inequality is built into the fabric of society and maintained through the continuation of historic biases and systemic issues such as the gender pay gap, discrimination at work, poor maternity pay, gender inequality in the legal system and much more. From keyboard warriors to people from whom we expect more, there will always be those looking to stamp women down. The former MOTD presenter Des Lynam, a career journalist who did not play sport professionally, told Radio Times last year that, while he had 'no gripe' with female presenters, pundits should have 'played it at the level you are talking about – ie the men's game'. He has previously described women's voices as 'grating' and 'not so attractive for actual commentating'. However, the support for Cates and Logan following their announcement they would be part of the MotD presenting team, the support for Aluko and Lucy Ward after Joey Barton took aim at them, the acclaim heaped on Emma Hayes for her punditry and the praise of Wright's women's football advocacy following Aluko's recent comments, are just some examples of the growing normality of diversity in football journalism.
