What 90s hitmaker Jennifer Paige looks like now
She shot to fame with a chart-topping hit back in the '90s – but nearly three decades on, the pop sensation looks just as fresh-faced at 51. The singer stunned fans with her youthful appearance in a new social media snap – but would you recognise her? Jennifer Paige – the voice behind 1998's chart-topping smash Crush – who wowed fans with her age-defying looks in a recent Instagram post. She wrote: 'New music and art projects on the horizon. My hubby's art will be released on Friday, as well. 'Very happy for him, as it's been a long time in the making. I'll share it here so you can let him know what you think! Let's go, men! You were born for greatness.' Fans took to the comment section shocked to see her looking as ageless as ever, with one writing: 'You still look just as beautiful.' Another added: 'Wow! You were the soundtrack to my 5 year old self & you haven't aged a day! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.' A third penned: 'You look exactly like you did in 1998!' Jennifer's song Crush shot to No 1 in 16 countries and sold 11 million copies. Here in Australia, it was a number one hit that ended up as the seventh-best-selling song of 1998. Her debut album was released the same year and Jennifer went on to record three more – although they failed to gain the same traction as her first. She even recorded a duet with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter called Beautiful Lie, featured on her 2008 album Best Kept Secret. Once dropped into semi-retirement after chart success, Jennifer faced childhood heartbreak, melanoma and the loss of both parents in 2008. She later retreated from fame, moved into song writing for commercials, charity music and podcasts. She then eventually crowdfunded a comeback album, Starflower, in 2017. Jennifer is married to artist Jason 'Hawk' Carter. The couple tied the knot in 2010 and have a daughter named Stella Rose, born on October 5, 2014. Jason made a surprise cameo in Jennifer's 2017 music video for The Devil's in the Details. The original actor dropped out, meaning he had to step in last minute.

Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life OTT Release Date
Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life OTT Release Date - Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even cry a little. Popular comedian and storyteller Mike Birbiglia is back with a brand-new one-man show, and this time, it hits closer to home than ever before. Titled The Good Life, this special is set to stream exclusively on Netflix starting May 26. What is Mike Birbiglia: The Good Life all about? This time, Birbiglia is opening a door to his heart. The Good Life was born after his father suffered a stroke, a life-changing moment that made Mike question everything about being a parent, a son, and a man trying to make sense of it all. 'Over the years, I've done a lot of personal shows,' Birbiglia said in a media statement, 'but somehow this one is the most personal because it's not in my past. It's my life right now. So there's really no filter.' At times during the live tour, Birbiglia admits he asked himself mid-performance, 'Whoa. Am I really gonna tell this story? But that's sort of the idea behind these shows. I try to probe into what's most painful in order to figure out what's most funny.' A journey years in the making The Good Life started touring in October 2023, with multiple sold-out performances at New York's legendary Beacon Theatre. Now, after months of fine-tuning and soul-searching, it's ready for the world to watch from their couches. Birbiglia reunites with longtime collaborator Seth Barrish to direct the show. It's produced by Best Kept Secret, and executive produced by Mike himself, his brother Joe Birbiglia, and John Skidmore. Visually, it's elevated by Beowulf Boritt's set design and Aaron Copp's lighting, making it more than just a stand-up, but a theatrical experience. If you've ever watched Thank God for Jokes, The New One, or the Emmy-nominated The Old Man and the Pool, you already know Mike doesn't do ordinary stand-up but tells stories.
