"MARILYN MONROE DIES; PILLS BLAMED" That was the front-page headline on an Aug. 6, 1962, Los Angeles Times story that began, "Marilyn Monroe, a troubled beauty who failed to find happiness as Hollywood's brightest star, was discovered dead in her Brentwood home of an apparent overdose of sleeping pills Sunday." More than 60 years after her death at age 36, the "blonde bombshell" is as much of a sensation as she ever was. The longevity is fueled in part by bizarre speculation that the actress was murdered, with suspects ranging from the Kennedys and the CIA to Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa and the Mafia.

Just this year, Andy Warhol's silk-screen portrait "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" sold for more than $195 million at Christie's, a record for a 20th-century artwork sold at auction.

Zak Brown has said Formula 1 is already popular in the States even without an F1 driver or a team solely based in the country. Formula 1 has enjoyed a huge boost in popularity in the United States of late with new owners Liberty Media seemingly targeting that demographic. A record three races will take place on American soil in 2023 with the Las Vegas Grand Prix set to follow the Miami Grand Prix onto the calendar. But still, there remains a lack of an American presence on the track. Haas label themselves as an American team with a headquarters in Kannapolis but a lot of their work is undergone at their UK and Italian bases. Indeed, there has not been an American driver in F1 for seven years and following Colton Herta’s collapsed move to AlphaTauri , that does not look like changing anytime soon. Following the breakdown of the deal, F1 was criticised for being too European centric with IndyCar driver Graham Rahal claiming it was “elitist.” In a tweet he said: “They … [Read more...] about Zak Brown: ‘F1 does not need an American team or driver to be popular in the US’

Even before the pandemic, the United States had a shortage of qualified contractors. However, the pandemic and supply chain issues have made hiring for remodel and repair projects even harder, and it’s likely to get more difficult. What’s a homeowner to do? The Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas offers the following tips if you are having trouble finding a contractor for your home improvement project. • Start looking before you need someone . If your neighbor gets a stellar kitchen remodel from a quality contractor, get their contact information, even if you aren’t planning a kitchen remodel just yet. This contact information can reduce your search time when you are ready to hire a contractor. • Find contractors by asking other contractors . Beyond asking your friends, neighbors, and family members for recommendations, you can also ask for references from contractors you know. For example, if you’re looking for an electrician, ask your plumber if they … [Read more...] about BBB on Homes: Searching for remodeling, repair contractors in a tight market

The Greater Houston Builders Association Benefit Homes Project is in a unique position this year as two builders committed to constructing a Benefit home within weeks of each other. Taylor Morrison and HistoryMaker Homes are nearing completion on their homes. “We are so excited to have such great support from our GHBA members for this program,” said Scott Merovitch, chairman of the Benefit Homes Project and Chesmar Homes city president for Houston. “We can’t thank enough both Todd Rasmussen and Bill Dalton with Taylor Morrison and Mickey Pizzitola with HistoryMaker Homes, for stepping up to volunteer their expertise and their vendors and suppliers that are critical to making this fundraiser a success.” This 42-year-old fundraiser recruits two builders a year to build a home with donated materials and services from GHBA member companies. The homes are typically built with amenities and features not always found in homes with similar pricing, and then are sold at market value.
