Niecy Nash-Betts is hot. Yes, her career is on fire (did you see her iconic Emmy’s speech last year?). But she also quite literally feels hot, she tells me during our conversation at the Pendry Hotel in New York at the end of March. Donning a blazing red suit, the “Dahmer” actor admits that she

When you’re searching for relief from the discomfort of a cold or the flu, you likely hit up the drugstore’s cold and flu aisle.

If you’re anything like me, your nightly TikTok scroll consists of cute dogs, Love Is Blind drama, and the Tracy Anderson Method.
