From films to music she does it all, but recently it all seems to have left viewers and listeners alike unsatisfied. Unfortunately, her latest effort and fifth English album, "Brave," is no exception.

Love and baseball

October 21

I was six years old when I had my first crush. He was tall, devastatingly handsome, extremely talented and like most crushes, he had no idea I existed.

Movin' on up: Jumbos react to possible T fare hike

October 18

Remember the good old days when paying for a ride on the T was as simple as dropping whatever change was in your pocket into the turnstile as you walked through?
