‘Roaring: Art, Fashion, and the Automobile in France, 1918-1939' Review: An Exhibition in Forward Motion
St. Louis
During World War I, a horror that mired men in trenches, the only things that zipped were biplanes and the new tanks. The American George S. Patton was a tank commander in that war and learned its lessons. In 1944, by then a lieutenant general, he addressed the men of the Third Army before D-Day: 'I don't want any messages saying 'I'm holding my position.' We're not holding a goddamned thing. We're advancing constantly.' The advance guard! The avant-garde! The lean and free-wheeling approach to life and art that marked the interwar years—that's the subject of a spectacular exhibition at the Saint Louis Art Museum, 'Roaring: Art, Fashion, and the Automobile in France, 1918-1939,' which features 12 exceptional historic cars among more than 160 period objects.

Colorado arcade bus owner honors heroic good Samaritan Johnny Hurley
A Colorado man is hitting the road and bringing classic arcade games to you. It's an achievement that began as an aspiration between two friends. Despite the death of one of them, the other has followed through with their goal to share beloved games with others who also cherish them. Boss Battle Bus CBS Owning and operating the "Boss Battle" arcade bus has been a dream come true for Devin McKenna, a self-proclaimed "arcader" and entertainer. "It's a love letter to the '80s," McKenna told CBS Colorado. "There is nothing else out there like it." The bus, formerly a Denver International Airport shuttle bus, is filled with retro nostalgia, and it's equipped with over 12,000 games. It has everything from Pac-Man, NBA Jam to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With the ability to host more than two dozen players at once. Meaning when it's full, there are dozens of smiling faces. "There is nothing better in the world," McKenna said. "I could literally live in that moment forever." The bus also carries with it an homage to one of its original creators -- Johnny Hurley. McKenna made the connection while on a test drive before he purchased it a year ago. "I look down, and there's stickers of Johnny from his memorial, and I will go, 'Wait. Is that John Hurley?" McKenna explained. "He's like, 'Yes. That was my best friend, and that's who built the bus with me.'" Johnny Hurley was shot and killed on June 21, 2021 after he stopped an active shooter who had killed Arvada Police Officer Gordon Beesly. Hurley was then shot by an officer who mistook him for the suspect. McKenna wanted to make sure Hurley would have a lasting legacy beyond the heroics that led to his death. "We rebranded it to be called the "Boss Battle Bus" with the tagline, "Beat the boss, whatever the cost," because that's what Hurley did. He beat the bad guy," McKenna said. "He gave everything, and it was to have this kind of community involvement that there is. He was trying to build what we're building now, and it is the greatest honor to be able to carry that on." McKenna joined forces with a party rental company to create Epic Party Rentals, which offers the arcade bus for rent and a plethora of other games. The bus brings joy to people's lives. That's McKenna's full-time mission now, and he feels reassurance from someone he lost as well. "My wife passed three months after Johnny, so I just know it was up there, them going, 'OK, you're supposed to do this, kid,'" McKenna said. "It was what I wanted to do my whole life -- bring fun and bring joy to this darkening world."

Blake Shelton Adorably Kissed Gwen Stefani Wearing This Truly Wild Pink Costume
Ninety-nine percent of the time, The Voice Coach alum Blake Shelton dresses down in casual rancher attire — think plaids, flannels, and jeans. He is a country-singing cowboy, after all. Which makes him dressing up as the Easter Bunny once in a while that much more precious. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip from Gwen Stefani's June 18 Instagram video celebrating her husband's 49th birthday, fans spotted Shelton in a full-on pink Easter Bunny costume giving Stefani a very tender kiss. (See the moment here.) The video is filled with sweet moments throughout their relationship. It features plenty of kisses shared between the couple, but nothing beats the one Shelton gave Stefani dressed as a giant pink bunny. "Happy birthday to my greatest love @blakeshelton u are my everything!! ❤️❤️," Stefani captioned her post. While Stefani loved Shelton's bunny costume, some people — like Carson Daly's daughter, Goldie, for example — didn't share the same enthusiasm. In 2022, Shelton memorably showed up at Daly's home as the Easter Bunny to pay a visit to Goldie, which resulted in one of the most iconic photos ever. "Goldie's not so sure about this," Daly captioned. In a 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Shelton spoke candidly about his relationship with Stefani's three children: Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. RELATED: Blake Shelton Singing "Old MacDonald" for Gwen Stefani's Baby Son Is Beyond Sweet "I get to teach them the country, you know, and I love that," Shelton said. "Whether it's music, whether it's literally getting out, getting their hands in the dirt or being out on the ranch, seeing the animals, whatever, you know? I absolutely love being the person that gets to introduce them to that stuff." And on his marriage to Stefani, Shelton remains as enamored as ever with the No Doubt singer. "I don't know how you can imagine when you find that life partner, that missing piece, you know, you didn't know what was missing?" he explained. "If you would've told me the first season [of The Voice] that we met that — what was gonna happen, I would've been like, 'No, we actually don't even have anything to even talk about, you know? What are you talking about?'" RELATED: Blake Shelton Has an Exciting New Career Update Involving Pitbull "It's crazy how things work out," Shelton added. .
