Julian McMahon Dies: 'Nip/Tuck', 'Fantastic Four', 'FBI: Most Wanted' Star Was 56
In the genre-bending series, Walsh's Dr. Sean McNamara is a plastic surgeon and family man with a strained marriage to Richardson's Julia, who is in love with his business partner, the roguish Dr. Christian Troy (McMahon).
'Julian could be hysterically funny, was hugely charismatic (drama swirled in his wake), and most of the female population fell for him as 'Christian Troy,'' Richardson continued. 'Ouff this is hard to write— seminal times we all shared, led by the insanely talented @ryanmurphyproductions, our ace producer Micheal [sic] Robin, beloveds @stephfowlermakeup @eyrichlou @kruegermekash — the whole team. Our love triangle with my tv husband Dylan Walsh (together you were giggly schoolmates).'
Running for six seasons on FX, Nip/Tuck established McMahon as a leading man, earning him a Golden Globe nomination.
Richardson concluded, 'This has taken me back, and ABACK. I remember our 1st script reading, we knew we were onto something but no clue what a ride we were about to have— Julian suggested we do a meditation to quell nerves (we didn't do it). I remember presenting with you at the Emmys when our autocue cut out and we somehow improvised our way through it on live tv. I remember the year we both got Golden Globe nominations and our show won best tv series— your mom, sat beside you, beamed with pride. I remember the episode when we all had to age up with prosthetics— how we laughed then, and how it's making me cry today. My enormous condolences to your family and children. You lived a large life my friend, Bravo 🌟.'
Aside from Nip/Tuck, McMahon is best known for his starring roles in Charmed, FBI: Most Wanted and the 2000s Fantastic Four movies. He died July 2 in Clearwater, Fla. from a private battle with cancer. Following the news of his death, tributes poured in from loved ones and co-stars, including fellow Nip/Tuck actors Kelly Carlson and Walsh, who shared a statement with Deadline.

Rare Footage of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash Recording Duet in 1969 Has Fans Reeling
Rare Footage of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash Recording Duet in 1969 Has Fans Reeling originally appeared on Parade. When it comes to iconic musical partnerships, it doesn't get much better than Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Not only did the legendary musicians have a decades-long friendship — they started out as pen pals — Dylan and Cash collaborated multiple times, a fact some fans are just learning now. In 1969, Cash joined Dylan in the recording studio during his Nashville Skyline sessions on a number of tracks, though only one — "Girl From the North Country" — would go on to be included on the album, as ScreenRant reported. Years later, Dylan would release the remaining tunes on 2019's The Bootleg Series Vol. 15: Travelin' Thru, 1967-1969, including a version of "One Too Many Mornings" (from Dylan's 1964 album The Times They Are a-Changin'). After a clip of Dylan and Cash recording "One Too Many Mornings" resurfaced this week on Instagram, fans were quick to express their amazement. "Never heard Dylan sing like that. Wild footage," one person wrote, with a second saying, "I wish I could have been there." "MAGIC," declared someone else, as another declared, "This a banger if you know you know." Later that year, Dylan and Cash were reunited when the former made an appearance on The Johnny Cash Show, where he sang "I Threw It All Away" and the pair reprised their "Girl From the North Country" duet. Following Cash's death in 2003, Dylan paid tribute to his friend and creative partner in a eulogy for Rolling Stone. 'I think we can have recollections of him, but we can't define him any more than we can define a fountain of truth, light and beauty," he wrote, adding, 'If we want to know what it means to be mortal, we need look no further than the man in black."Rare Footage of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash Recording Duet in 1969 Has Fans Reeling first appeared on Parade on Jul 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mary Corse Sets a Thrilling Pace Exhibition In LA
Mary Corse, Pace Gallery LA, 1201 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90019 June 21 – August 16, 2025. Photography courtesy of Pace Gallery One of the most thrilling shows I've seen recently is Mary Corse at Pace Gallery LA on view through August 16, 2025. Corse, who recently turned 80, has been an LA artist most of her life, having attended Chouinard Art School (which became CalArts) in the early 1960s and living and working in Los Angeles ever since. At a time when so much contemporary art is figurative, and abstract work tends to the fantastical or psychedelic, Corse's new work reminds us of the rigor, discipline, and inquiry about art-making itself that is central to Corse's practice. The Pace LA show features many of Corse's Diamond shaped works which she has been exploring since 1965. The works are shaped canvases tilted to be diamonds rather than squares and whose surface extends beyond the edges concavely in such a way that, although they appear two dimensional, the works are actually three-dimensional. The canvases seem to float in front of the wall. These subtle shifts in how the work is presented and what draws our eye, ask us to consider what is painting? What is sculpture? Mary Corse, Pace Gallery LA, 1201 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90019 June 21 – August 16, 2025. Photography courtesy of Pace Gallery Corse's White Diamond paintings are a rigorous investigation of perception, color, and our own interactions with her work. Some of the Diamond series recall early Russian Constructivist work, Malevich in particular. In other of her works, such as her paintings that feature a reflective black stripe down the middle, it is as if the action and drama in the work have been reduced to a single strip, The ways in which our eye and mind behave when looking at her work, adds a further dimension to Corse's work. Corse's work has also investigated light, and her Pace presentation includes Corse's Halo Room, which is a light installation, in a room of its own that interacts with your presence and shadow as you approach it, and that is animated wirelessly by a Tesla coil (Tesla the scientist not the car). Many California artists rejected Minimalism as a New York, primarily male, art movement that espoused a cool impersonal aesthetic. Instead, several California artists turned to making works that investigated light, space, or were land art interventions and that often took advantage of materials and knowledge from California's Aerospace industry and institutions such as CalTech. Mary Corse, Pace Gallery LA, 1201 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90019 June 21 – August 16, 2025 Photography courtesy Pace Gallery Instead, Corse's work demonstrates that Minimalism can be personal, have drama, and can be rooted in California's special light. And that is as thrilling to ponder as it to see.

The True Story Behind the Iconic Fleetwood Mac Performance Fans Still Can't Get Over
The True Story Behind the Iconic Fleetwood Mac Performance Fans Still Can't Get Over originally appeared on Parade. It's no secret that Fleetwood Mac's legendary Rumours album was largely inspired by the breakup of band members (and onetime couple) Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham — but the song that comes to mind for most fans today when they think about the notoriously star-crossed lovers wasn't even included on the record. While "Silver Springs" was written for Rumours, the track was eventually cut from the album (much to the dismay of Nicks, who reportedly screamed "bloody murder" when she heard the news, according to Rolling Stone) and released instead as the B-side to 'Go Your Own Way.' But in 1997, when Fleetwood Mac reunited to film their award-winning live album and concert film The Dance, they delivered an incredibly passionate version of the ballad that went on to become one of their most talked-about performances of all time. Years later, the unforgettable moment continues to live on in the form of countless memes and social media shares. In the now-classic clip, Nicks shared an intense look with her former flame as she sang the lyrics: 'Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me/I know I could have loved you but you would not let me." The energy between the couple grew even more electric as Nicks continued to sing: "I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you/You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you." In a 1997 interview with Arizona Republic (via The Nicks Fix), Nicks reflected on filming the emotionally loaded moment, admitting, "In six weeks of rehearsal, it was never like that." "Only on Friday night did we let it go into something deeper," she explained. "When we went on Friday, I knew we'd bring it out in case it was the last thing we'd ever do. The other shows were really, really good, but they weren't the show I wanted to leave behind. This show was." "I wanted people to stand back and really watch and understand what [the relationship] was," Nicks said, revealing that she wrote "Silver Springs" to say, "I'm so angry with you. You will listen to me on the radio for the rest of your life, and it will bug you. I hope it bugs you." That same year, Buckingham gave his own take on the experience in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying, ''Silver Springs' always ends up in that place for me because she's always very committed to what those words are about, and I remember what they were about then." 'Now it's all irony, you know, but there is no way you can't get drawn into the end of that song," he added, with Nicks chiming in to say, 'When we're [onstage] there singing songs to each other, we probably say more to each other than we ever would in real life."The True Story Behind the Iconic Fleetwood Mac Performance Fans Still Can't Get Over first appeared on Parade on Jul 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
