‘A real kick in the gut’: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson urges fans to wear masks after he and his family get covid-19

Physically distance. Wear a mask. The virus doesn’t care how much you love and trust your family and friends.

Chicago teens! We are one of only three cities in the whole country to offer this amazing PrEP study!

The CORE Center is looking for sexually-active (very broadly defined) young gay men or transgender women under the age of 18. This is an open-label study, so all participants are given access to what we now know is a highly effective HIV prevention product. Participants will be followed for about 18 months.

Naomi Campbell: ‘It’s time to reset’

“As the Black Lives Matter movement continues to create change, there is also a touch of cynicism about the now-vocal voices that were silent when Naomi decried a lack of industry diversity before it was deemed “in” to do so. “I’m sticking to the people that I’ve spoken to before,” she scoffs. “I’m not trying to jump on any new bandwagon. So, now we’re allowed to speak up? We weren’t allowed to before – who’s given the permission? I’ve given myself the permission – if I feel a certain way and I’m in a situation that I don’t think is right, I’m gonna speak it.”

The world’s greatest supermodel has been a fearless champion of diversity in fashion for decades. Now she’s relishing a moment of change
