Kylie Jennernever misses the chance to get the internet talking, and this time she has done it by debuting a bleached brow look. The beauty mogul graces the cover of Vanity Fair's Spring 2026 issue. Photographed by Mert Alas, she delivered her take on the bleached brow and bra-as-top trends.

Kylie Jenner takes the internet by storm with shocking bleached brow look for Vanity Fair

Take a look at Kylie Jenner with her bleached brows:

Jenner paired a structured black bra with Hermès khaki pants cinched by a black Balenciaga belt at the waist. She completed the look with inky knee-high riding boots, another piece from Hermès. Together, the boots and the pants helped her lean into the horse girl aesthetic.

The most striking part of her look, however, was her makeup featuring the bleached brows. Makeup artist Ariel Tejada used a blurred matte lip, saturated blush, and mascara to achieve that bleached look. All products were from Kylie Cosmetics. She sat on a bed with her knees spread as she lit a cigarette while staring at the camera.

Daniel Radcliffe casts a spell on Broadway in “Every Brilliant Thing”

Daniel Radcliffe casts a spell on Broadway in

"If you live a long life and you get to the end of it without ever once feeling crushingly depressed, then you probably haven't been paying attention."

So opinesDaniel Radcliffein the solo showEvery Brilliant Thing, which just opened at the Hudson Theatre on Broadway. It's a deep quote in a story centered around a very deep topic — suicide. Yet the play's secret is managing to confront the issue head-on while also offering a life-affirming alternative in the form of a constantly growing list of seemingly trivial things that make every day worth savoring.

Radcliffe's unnamed narrator began making the list at 7 years old after his mother attempted to take her own life. But instead of Radcliffe reading the list items to the audience, the trick is that the audience actually reads the items back to Radcliffe. The actor will shout out a number and then — in an impressive display of audience amplification by sound designer Tom Gibbons — a reply emanates back from somewhere in the theater. Sometimes from the orchestra. Other times, the mezzanine. And occasionally from on stage, where people are seated in the round.

On the list could be anything: The even-numberedStar Trekfilms. When a concert crowd keeps singing the melody after the band have left the stage. Peeing in the sea without anybody knowing. Spaghetti bolognese. And the star reacts to it all with whimsical delight, as if he is cherishing the memories all over again.

And that is just the beginning of the audience participation, as theater goers are picked out to play key roles such as the narrator's father, girlfriend, librarian, and professor along the way. Not only does it inject a bit of improv into the proceedings as Radcliffe must react to how his amateur thespians play the scene, but it also creates a mad pre-show scramble that is just as entertaining as the actual play itself.

From the moment the house doors open, right up until the show officially begins, Radcliffe stalks the aisles of the theater — chatting with attendees and handing out assignments. The star has always projected as a celebrity completely unimpressed with his own celebrity, and watching one of the most famous faces on planet Earth literally work the room — bouncing manically from row to row and enthusiastically thanking those who agree to participate — is an absolute delight and sets the perfect tone for what is to come.

Every Brilliant Thingwas written in 2013 by Duncan Macmillan (who directs this production with Jeremy Herrin) and Jonny Donahoe (who was the original performer; you can watch a filmed version of his take on HBO Max). It has since appeared worldwide and starred folks likeMinnie DriverandPhoebe Waller-Bridge, but it's hard to imagine anyone tackling the role with more energy and ebullience than Radcliffe, who at one point during a drum and bongo solo from Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" proclaims, "I'm going to high-five the entire room!" And then proceeds to go and do it… before eventually making his way back on the stage and noting, "The high fives were a mistake. There are too many of you."

And the flurry of Hudson Theatre high-fives is not the only time Radcliffe is quick on his feet. During one performance, the two books he retrieved from audience members for a key scene happened to be none other thanPercy Jackson and the OlympiansandTwilight. Upon reading the words "Soon to be a major motion picture" on theTwilightcover, the former Harry Potter slyly ad-libbed, "Nothingevergoes wrong with adaptations to major motion pictures."

Any one-person show is obviously dependent on the magnetism of its performer, and Radcliffe is in total command of both the material and the room. While Donahoe's original narrator was a bit more tender and subdued, Radcliffe is a frenetic force. Where Donahoe walked around his stage, Radcliffe bounces. Which is what makes his energetic narrator's own spiral at one point into a depressive state all the more impactful, as both he and we learn that all the lists and ebullience in the world can't fully protect you from the demons within.

It seems almost incongruous to talk about what a great time you will have watching a play centered around depression and suicide, but whatEvery Brilliant Thingdoes is create almost a communal support group filled with constant reminders of the things that make life worth living. And with Radcliffe as our guide, this show definitely makes the list.Grade: A–

One-fifth of Australian teens still use TikTok, Snapchat after social media ban

Teens discuss Australia's social media ban for under-16s, set to take effect December 10, in Sydney

SYDNEY, March 13 (Reuters) - One-fifth of Australian teenagers under 16 were still using social media two months after the country banned platforms from allowing minors, industry data showed, raising questions about the ‌effectiveness of their age-gating methods.

The number of 13-to-15-year-olds using TikTok and Snapchat, among the most popular social ‌media apps with Australian teenagers, fell from before the ban took effect in December to February, but still more than 20% used the apps, according ​to a report by parental control software maker Qustodio provided to Reuters.

The data is among the first to show the effects on youth online behaviour since Australia rolled out the ban, which is being copied by governments around the world. The Australian government and at least two university studies are tracking the ban's impact but none has published data yet.

"Among children whose parents ‌haven't blocked access, a meaningful number continue ⁠to use restricted platforms in the months following the ban," Qustodio said in the report, which was based on data collected from Australian families from late 2024 to February.

Under the ban, platforms ⁠including Meta's Instagram, Facebook and Threads, Google's YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat must block people aged under 16 or face a fine of up to A$49.5 million ($35 million).

A spokesperson for internet regulator the eSafety Commissioner said the office was aware of reports some under-16s remained ​on ​social media and was "actively engaging with platforms and their age assurance ​providers ... while continuing to monitor for any systemic ‌failures that may amount to a breach of the law".

The regulator was "actively drawing on a range of insights to assess compliance," the spokesperson added.

A spokesperson for communications minister Anika Wells said the government had always been clear "that increasing the minimum age to access social media is a cultural change that will take time".

A representative for Snapchat was not immediately available for comment. A TikTok spokesperson declined to comment.

The Qustodio data showed the number of Australians aged 13-15 using Snapchat tumbled 13.8 ‌percentage points to 20.3% from November to February, while the number ​in that age group using TikTok fell 5.7 percentage points to 21.2%.

The ​number in that age group using YouTube dipped by ​one percentage point to 36.9%, although the data did not specify whether the users were ‌logged into accounts. The Australian ban allows people of ​all ages to use YouTube ​without logging in.

Australian teenage social media use typically dips in December and January due to the country's long summer school break, but the data showed a steeper decline than the previous year, suggesting the ban had an ​impact, Qustodio said.

But "some dips seen in December-January ‌are slowly beginning to recover", the report added.

Fears that teenagers might migrate to unregulated platforms have not ​materialised, the data showed, although WhatsApp recorded a small uptick in use among 13-15-year-olds.

Search on for retired Air Force general who went missing 2 weeks ago in New Mexico

Search on for retired Air Force general who went missing 2 weeks ago in New Mexico

A search is ongoing for a retired Air Force major general who disappeared in New Mexico nearly two weeks ago, local law enforcement officials said Thursday.

NBC Universal

A silver alert was issued last week for Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland, who was last seen at his Albuquerque home at 11 a.m. Feb. 27, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office. McCasland's wife left their home just after 11 a.m. for a medical appointment, and McCasland was gone by the time she returned about an hour later.

"His phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices were located at the residence," the sheriff's office said Thursday. His hiking boots and wallet and a .38 caliber revolver with a leather holster were missing from the home.

Susan McCasland Wilkerson began contacting family members and friends in an attempt to find her husband but eventually reported him missing by 3:07 p.m. that afternoon, the sheriff's office said.

McCasland was described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall with white hair and blue eyes. He may have been wearing a light green long-sleeve, button-up shirt.

Authorities are looking for McCasland using search-and-rescue teams, dogs, drones and helicopters, the sheriff's office said. The FBI confirmed it was assisting in the investigation.

"To date, BCSO has not received any confirmed sighting or confirmed video showing Mr. McCasland leaving the area or indicating a direction of travel," the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office urged the public to come forward with any possible information about McCasland's whereabouts.

Officials said last week that there was no evidence of foul play but that it is unlike McCasland to be out of contact from his family for so long. McCasland has medical issues, which the sheriff's office did not disclose, that added cause for concern.

The sheriff's office believes he left his home on foot.

"He is an avid outdoorsman and is known to often hike, run, and cycle in the Northeast Heights and the Sandia foothills," it said.

The office urged anyone with video taken Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 in the Sandia mountains or in McCasland's neighborhood to review it and submit anything that might be helpful.

The sheriff's office said information other than what it has issued is "not verified or confirmed."

"There are people who attempt to develop their own theories based on the limited information available to the public and this makes finding Neil harder," it said.

Wilkerson, McCasland's wife, tried to correct some misinformation that had been circulating. She wrote on Facebook last Friday that though her husband does have medical issues, it is not related to dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

She then dissuaded those who might believe McCasland was taken because he had some kind of classified information.

"He retired from the [Air Force] almost 13 years ago and has had only very commonly held clearances since," she wrote. "It seems quite unlikely that he was taken to extract very dated secrets from him."

McCasland graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in astronautical engineering. He also has a doctorate in the subject from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,according to the Air Force.

He held many roles with the Air Force, including commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

He was also responsible for $2.2 billion in funds for the Air Force's science and technology program and another $2.2 billion in research and development, according to the Air Force.

Wilkerson addressed McCasland's connection "with the UFO community." McCasland once volunteered to work with Tom DeLonge, lead singer and guitarist for Blink-182. DeLonge's organization, "To The Stars," has published fiction books, music and a docuseries related to aliens and unidentified flying objects.

McCasland had "less contact" with DeLonge and the UFO community after political strategist John Podesta's emails were publicly posted on WikiLeaks, Wilkerson said. Podesta, who worked in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, hadshared emails with DeLonge about his interest in UFOs.

Some of the emails included exchanges about a documentary that Podesta took part in, andat least one email mentioned McCasland.

Wilkerson said McCasland has no special knowledge of any terrestrial bodies or any UFO crash debris stored by the government.

"This connection is not a reason for someone to abduct Neil," she wrote.

Wilkerson did not respond to a voicemail Thursday asking to speak about her husband's disappearance.
