Queen of rock 'n' roll Tina Turner dies at 83 |
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? 💔 Tina Turner, the pioneering soul-turned-rock star, has died at age 83. The music icon died Tuesday at her home in Switzerland after a long illness, according to a statement. Throughout her career, Turner's life was one of professional greatness and personal trauma, as she fled an abusive relationship with her musical mentor and first husband, Ike Turner, to achieve unlikely pop stardom in the '80s with "What's Love Got To Do With It." She has lived a reclusive life for many years while battling ill health.

A year after Uvalde, what has changed? |
Twenty-one innocent lives lost.

In the months after the shooting, many victims' families have become advocates for increased gun control regulations. But with only a few days left in the session, it's likely Texas' Republican-controlled Legislature will not pass any significant gun reform policies. Here's a look at Uvalde, one year after tragedy. | Texas State Sen. Roland Gutierrez leads a press conference alongside relatives of Uvalde victims as they call for gun reform on May 8.

Netflix cracks down on password sharing |
The day of reckoning is here: Netflix is finally cracking down on password-sharing. The streaming service used to encourage sharing your credentials with friends and family – but it's singing a different tune now that subscriber growth is slowing down. The good news: You can still share your account. The bad news: It's gonna cost you. Now, only people who live under the same roof can share accounts, so you have two options: kick those moochers off your account or pay an additional $8 per month to share it. If you don't want to pay up, that's totally fine! Here's how to tell your friends, "it's not me, it's Netflix." |
