Pop icon Debbie Gibson, who took the music world by storm in the 1980s at the age of 16, is gearing up for her encore tour starting later this month for her album, "The Body Remembers."
As a singer, songwriter and producer, Gibson produced massive hits such as "Foolish Beat," "Lost in Your Eyes" and "Electric Youth," becoming a pop princess who topped the charts decades before today's music royalty.
With her mother by her side fighting to protect her voice, Gibson broke through the barriers of being young and female, producing and recording her own songs and albums with creative control. Her first album, "Out of the Blue," produced five hit singles and sold over 5 million copies.
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
