Tony Bennett, suave singer of I Left My Heart in San Francisco whose career spanned 70 years – obituary

Tony Bennett, who has died aged 96, sang as much with his heart as his voice. Primarily a showman, he was a better technician than his crooner’s reputation implied, but his appeal was founded less on the skill of his singing than its committed sincerity.

What Back to Black misses about Amy Winehouse – she was our funniest star

Across all the many millions of words written about Amy Winehouse since her death in 2011, it tends to be the darkness in her story that muscles its way into the foreground. And there is plenty of shade to linger on (she did, after all, go back to black), but to do that can mean overlooking a single, inalienable fact: she was also an absolute laugh...

(AP) — When Jon Bon Jovi agreed to let director Gotham Chopra follow him with a documentary camera to delve into the history of his band, Bon Jovi, he didn't anticipate it would catch him at a major low point in his career. The band was launching a tour, and despite doing all he could do to be vocally ready, the “Livin' on a Prayer” singer struggled through songs and couldn't hit the notes the way he used to. Critics noticed and...

My dad is one of five, and Mum has 13 siblings; my grandad was busy. I’m from Sierra Leone, where we have lots of kids, and most of our relatives still...

Wildlife Rescue review – totally adorable TV you’ll want to watch for years to come

The late great critic Roger Ebert once said that “movies are like a machine that generates empathy” – the idea being that when we sit down and watch dramas, comedies, documentaries or even horror films, they take us out of ourselves and force us to share in the pain and triumph of others. In short, they can make us better people. Watching Wildlife Rescue, no one would call it a cinematic masterpiece, but Ebert would definitely approve as it...

Abandoned - Nickelodeon Studios Florida

In 1990, in conjunction with the opening of Universal Studios Orlando, Nickelodeon Studios had officially opened to the public. But it's purpose as the new headquarters for the Nickelodeon network, where all future shows like Double Dare, Kenan & Kel, Slime Time live and so many more would be filmed, was quickly becoming unprofitable.
