Ahead of the release of the upcoming Barbie movie, Architectural Digest has given us a sneak peek into the world of the iconic doll thanks to a house tour video like no other. As you may have expected, there is a lot of pink. So much pink that it caused a worldwide paint shortage of the particular fuchsia pink hue during filming! Everything is pink, from a pink fridge, toaster, stove and dining room table in the kitchen, to a magical Clueless-style pink wardrobe that houses all of Barbie's clothing and accessories.

A Taiwanese mother and her young daughter suddenly disappear without a trace in the  Yuan Lin Financial Building in Zhanghua, Taiwan. After a decade, there have been no leads. The following case was recently brought to my attention. It has an eerie similarity to the Elisa Lam disappearance and death investigation in Los Angeles, CA: "There seems to be not a lot of material on this one. I was able to find an English source and a Vietnamese source. However, the English source took its information from another Vietnamese source so we effectively only have Vietnamese sources.

A sometimes-riled Ed Sheeran on Monday denied copying Marvin Gaye's classic 'Let's Get it On' in his second day of testifying to jurors in a copyright trial in Manhattan federal court, calling the claim 'insulting.'

'I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it,' said Sheeran, who is being sued by heirs of Gaye's co-writer Ed Townsend.
