Actress Julianne Moore has shared a look inside the West Village duplex penthouse she recently renovated, where items she's thoughtfully collected for decades create a perfectly lived-in vibe.
"The Big Lebowski" star, 65, told Architectural Digest that she had her eye on the residence before it ever hit the market.
"We were so lucky to find this apartment," she said in a video tour of the home. "I think this is one of the most beautiful apartments in New York."
Located in a 1920s building that was originally a hotel, the home is on "the roof of the building" and boasts several terraces—including one with an herb garden she planted and shares with her "very close friends."
After living in a townhouse with her husband, director Brett Freundlich, and their two children for nearly 25 years, this apartment is her first time living "up high."

Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians after 30 people were killed when two buses were blown up in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, in one of the deadliest single attacks for weeks.
Photos posted by local authorities showed the burnt-out metal shell of the vehicles, with the blurred-out images of bodies and debris strewn across the road.
Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb.
The strikes come just a day after five children were among 22 killed when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Pryluky, in the northern Chernigiv region.
"The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians," Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said, accusing Moscow of flouting "every conceivable rule of warfare and norm of international humanitarian law".

Social Security acts as a financial safety net for many retirees, but it's not enough for most. These government checks were never designed to cover all living expenses. Social Security is a supplemental income source that can keep up with expenses if you combine it with savings.
That's why many people are encouraged to save up before retirement, and the math proves it. Your life in retirement will be very different if you just live on Social Security compared to having $500,000 in savings alongside your government checks. Let's break it all down below.
The average monthly Social Security benefit for retired workers as of mid-2026 was $2,085.98, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA). At that rate, you will not pay any taxes on Social Security, ******* uming you do not have any other income sources. You won't even have to worry about state income taxes.
However, that's where the advantages end if you rely exclusively on Social Security. Per Apartment List data, the national median rent was $1,390 in August. That median rent leaves you with less than $700 for groceries, transportation, healthcare, utilities, insurance, debt and miscellaneous purchases.
For most people, the average Social Security is not enough. High-earners can max out their benefits at $5,181 per month if they earned a high salary for most or all of their 35 highest-earning years and wait until 70 to tap into Social Security, per the SSA. That monthly amount offers more room for financial flexibility, but the average is insufficient for most people unless their spouse earns a similar check or they live very frugally.

Michael Douglas, firmly in his smooth silver-fox era, has opened the door into secret compartments of his life. Douglas, 82, has just published an incredibly dishy, wildly entertaining, at times both hilarious and painful new memoir, One ****** uva Ride. It's a tale that spans generations of Hollywood royalty, from his father Kirk's rise to stardom to his own run of classic films as both producer and actor: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The China Syndrome (1979), Romancing the Stone (1984), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Falling Down (1993), to name some of the biggest. Written with Shane Salerno, the book is one of those rare memoirs that both entertains and sheds light on a lost world of Hollywood of glamour and decadence, with lots of ****** and drugs and even some rock & roll.
To discuss all this, Douglas has invited me into his palatial apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park, one of several homes he owns and enjoys. He's a welcoming and gracious host, no servants or ****** istants bustling about. Just Douglas padding around in his socks, still as slim, handsome, and charming as ever. Douglas makes me a coffee, and we sit down in a living room with a view of his two Oscars, an Emmy, and other awards. Between Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the trophy case is so large it fills up a corner of the massive living room.

KYIV, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Russia pounded Ukraine with waves of missiles and drones on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people and hitting residential buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said.
One Russian missile slammed into an apartment block in the northern city of Pryluky, killing at least nine people including three children, regional governor Vyacheslav Chaus said.
Dozens of rescuers picked through the rubble at the site where several sections of the five-story building collapsed, Reuters video showed.
Emergency workers used ladders to get to the upper floors of what remained of the building. Around 40 people were wounded, the governor said.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA − Dhar Mann doesn't consider other digital content creators his competition.
The filmmaker behind Dhar Mann Studios, whose inspirational videos reach hundreds of millions of viewers each week, has his sights set on something bigger: Hollywood.
"I actually see other major studios as the competition," Mann tells USA TODAY during a tour of his Burbank, California, studios. "I don't really see a difference between any of the big studios and what they've built and the trajectory that we're on."
It's an ambitious outlook for a company that started nearly eight years ago in Mann's downtown LA apartment, where he filmed videos on iPhones.
Today, Dhar Mann Studios has more than 170 million followers across social media and a team of about 250 people. The content, drawing nearly 300 million views a week, has expanded beyond social platforms through partnerships with Samsung, Fox and Disney, including a recently announced 20-episode order from Disney.

On September 9, 2026, Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:IRT) and Centerspace announced a definitive all-stock merger agreement. It creates a combined middle-market apartment REIT with a pro forma equity market capitalization of about $5.0 billion and a total enterprise value of approximately $8.1 billion, encompassing more than 44,000 units.
The combined company will retain the Independence Realty Trust name and NYSE ticker "IRT." IRT's Scott Schaeffer continues as Chairman and CEO. The management projects the deal will be roughly 5% accretive to 2027 Core FFO per share for shareholders of both companies.
The merger gives Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:IRT) higher scale and significantly broader geographic diversification. The combined company will own 44,354 apartment units across 163 communities in 17 states, with 58% of pro forma NOI coming from Sunbelt markets, 27% from the Midwest, and 15% from the Mountain West. The overall footprint reduces reliance on any single regional apartment market while keeping substantial exposure to markets with strong population and employment growth.
IRT can apply its existing value-creation strategy across a much larger portfolio. Its value-add renovation program has delivered about a 16% historical return on investment. The firm expects to grow its Wi-Fi initiative and other technology and income-generating programs across Centerspace's properties. Management also expects approximately $24 million in annualized synergies. It supports roughly 5% accretion to 2027 Core FFO per share on a leverage-neutral basis.
The all-stock structure allows the companies to chase greater scale without adding acquisition debt. IRT and Centerspace expect the combined company to retain BBB/BBB investment-grade credit ratings and maintain a well-laddered debt maturity profile. Centerspace shareholders will receive IRT shares and own approximately 22% of the combined company. It gives them exposure to the larger platform. Management also expects the transaction to improve access to capital markets and reduce the combined firm's cost of capital over time.

Peter Hungerford has six weeks to save a Rochester investment that shares his name.
An auction for Rochester's "Hungerford Building" — named for a distant relative of the Staten Island real estate investor — has been scheduled for Oct. 29. The lender filed a foreclosure case in September 2025 and has moved to take the building.
Hungerford says the sale won't happen. He said he's working on securing a construction loan to pay off the debt on the building.
Hungerford first made headlines for his bullish take on rent-stabilized properties in New York City and his involvement with the Haruvi real estate family.
A Hungerford affiliate took out an $8.25 million loan on the building in 2022 from a lender ****** ociated with Sheridan Capital. The plan was to add 200 apartments to the four-story former industrial building.

Legacy West apartments average $1,845 a month, a 9% premium over comparable Dallas properties that's smaller than any other demand pocket RealPage tracks, yet the submarket needs the fewest concessions to stay leased.
The pocket posted 95.5% occupancy in the second quarter, two points above the Dallas metro average, anchored by roughly 12,000 corporate jobs from employers including Toyota, JPMorgan Chase, and Frito-Lay.
Because Legacy West's strength rests on continued corporate expansion rather than a larger price premium, its durability depends on employers in the Plano-Frisco corridor keeping up their hiring pace.
Apartments in Legacy West command the smallest rent premium of any demand pocket in the Dallas metro, yet the submarket needs fewer concessions to stay full than any of its peers, according to RealPage. The corporate-anchored district straddling the Plano-Frisco border averaged $1,845 in effective rent in the second quarter, a 9% premium over comparable metro properties. That's the smallest premium among the demand pockets RealPage tracks across Dallas, even though Legacy West's occupancy and leasing strength outperform them.

The 2026 Emmys are kicking off awards season, and all eyes are on Emmy-nominated couple Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell, who stepped out on the red carpet together on September 14.
This year has truly been the Year of Matthew Rhys, who is doubly nominated for his lead performances in Widow's Bay and The Beast in Me. Russell is also nominated for her lead role in The Diplomat. As the famously private duo cheers each other on from the audience, hoping to take home more than one award tonight, Swooon's taking a deep dive into the wild story of how they went public with their relationship, all about their kids, and more.
Russell and Rhys started dating in 2013 after meeting on the set of The Americans. They played married Russian spies. For a while, Russell and Rhys kept their relationship under wraps until their connection was outed by the NYPD.
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Rhys revealed that his and Russell's relationship was revealed to the public after a burglar broke into his apartment. "We were together in an apartment, and she woke me up and said, 'I think there's someone in the apartment,'" Rhys explained. "And I said, 'There's no one in the apartment.' And then I heard someone saying something, and I went, 'Oh, there's someone in the apartment!'" Later, the NYPD returned what was stolen from the duo — while they were on set. From then on, the jig was up.
Despite being long-term partners, Russell and Rhys are not married.

New details are emerging regarding the investigation into Hayden Panettiere's death.
The probe into the actress' death has become a "cross-country investigation" in both Los Angeles and South Carolina, per ABC News. The type of drugs and where they came from has become a new focal point in the investigation.
TMZ subsequently reported that Panettiere had a "long time drug dealer" in Los Angeles who allegedly gave her several prescription drugs, including oxycodone. The outlet's sources suggest she purchased the fatal dose on a flight from L.A. to South Carolina, where she died on Aug. 16 at 36. TMZ reports that the pill she took the morning of her death could have allegedly been laced with fentanyl.
On Aug. 16, first responders had found Panettiere "unresponsive" and "in cardiac arrest" at the apartment complex she had been temporarily staying, per the Greenville County Coroner's Office. After "resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful," she was **** ounced dead at the scene.
The coroner's office reported that the autopsy was completed on Aug. 17, and there were "no signs of trauma" that "would have contributed to the death."

Jim Curtis has opened up about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston and the every day routine he follows when he is with the star in Los Angeles.
In a new interview with The Times, the author shared that he likes to wake up at 7am and do sit-ups in bed. If Jim is based in Los Angeles, he'll make sure to feed Jennifer's three dogs, Clyde, Sophie and Lord Chesterfield, and make coffee. His breakfast consists of a hard-boiled egg or some fruit, followed by meditation and journalling. Jim splits his time between Jennifer's $21 million home in Bel Air and his apartment in New York.
"We take real responsibility to go within and understand and soothe ourselves," Jim said of his and Jennifer's shared spirituality. " So we meditate together. I meditate and I'll say things like 'I'm divinely guided', meaning I don't have to worry, it's all working out."

Jim also shared how his relationship with Jennifer immediately felt different to any past romances. "The drive was more natural, more organic, less needy," he said. "In the past I've felt this idea of, 'I need you to be in love with me …' I wasn't searching for love any more. And what do I feel now? I feel real joy, real presence, real calmness, real partnership."

Identity theft can happen to anyone. Scammers don't discriminate, but did you know freezing your credit can help protect your ******* ets?
Unfortunately, this type of crime is on the rise. In 2025, a total of 31,675 official identity theft complaints were recorded by the FBI — a 47% increase since 2024. Personal data breaches are also a major issue with 67,456 reported in 2025.
Maybe you've already had personal data stolen or perhaps you want to proactively fight against it. Either way, keep reading to learn more about the credit freezing loophole ******* ody talks about.
When your credit is frozen, no new accounts can be opened in your name, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It can stay in place as long as you wish and it's completely free.
During this time your credit will essentially be on lockdown. Even you won't be able to perform activities like applying for new credit, allowing a potential employer to run a credit background check or authorizing a landlord to run a credit check for a new apartment. However, you can temporarily lift the freeze for these actions.

Viola Davis has been ranked the most fabulous Gen X actress in Hollywood, but the acclaimed performer says there was once "no evidence of greatness" in her life. The 61-year-old landed the No. 1 position on AARP's Movies for Grownups list of the 25 Most Fabulous Gen X Actresses.
Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz and Drew Barrymore completed the top five, while other major names such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Cate Blanchett and Salma Hayek also earned spots. For Davis, the honor reflects a journey that began in poverty and eventually led her to some of the most celebrated roles of her generation.

Davis spoke candidly to AARP's Movies for Grownups about growing up as one of six children in condemned apartments. The actress has previously discussed searching through garbage cans for food and living in rat-infested homes.
"I grew up in abject poverty," she told the publication. "There was no evidence of greatness in my life. So I had to have magic … I had to dare to ask the big, big question: 'What if, Viola? What if there's something out there for you?'"

Actress Nicole Kidman has major plans to spend more time in London moving forward—though, as the "Nine Perfect Strangers" star has revealed, the city has quietly been a part of her life for decades.
Nearly a year after her split from husband Keith Urban, 58, Kidman, 59, let slip to British Vogue that she's had an apartment near Notting Hill for quite some time.
"I've had it for 20 years … 21 actually," the actress, who admitted that she has been "lonely" at home following her divorce," said.
It marks the first time that the "Moulin Rouge!" actress has confirmed she owns property in London—having already amassed homes in Beverly Hills, CA; New York City; Nashville, TN; and Australia. While all of those properties have appeared in numerous headlines, her U.K. abode has remained surprisingly under the radar.
"I'm stealth," Kidman shared of her ability to keep the property so tightly under wraps.

Kai Trump is giving fans a glimpse of what everyday family life looks like behind the golf clips and headlines. The 19-year-old shared a new Instagram reel capturing a lighthearted outing with her mom, Vanessa Trump, and younger brother Spencer Trump. It's full of classic sibling energy.
Kai Trump shared a playful family shopping video featuring her mom, Vanessa Trump, and younger brother Spencer. The reel, captioned "Shopping with the fam," captures the siblings joking around as they debate who is taller, with the lighthearted exchange giving fans a glimpse at their family dynamic.
Kai jokes in the video that 13-year-old Spencer is already way taller than their mom. Spencer immediately fires back that he's taller than Kai too. Someone off-camera questions whether that's really true. The group settles the debate by lining up back-to-back to compare their heights. They also jokingly accuse Spencer of standing on his tiptoes to boost his numbers.
The clip captures a playful, relatable, and very teenager-coded version of the Trump family fans don't often see. Between the height debate and the sibling teasing, the video reads like any typical outing between two teens and their mom. It's not the first time Kai has documented a shopping trip with her mom this year. She and Vanessa were recently spotted apartment shopping together as Kai prepared for her next chapter at the University of Miami, with Kai gushing that her mom spent hours helping her get everything ready.
Fans also responded to the family moment, with commenters praising the playful mother-daughter dynamic and the siblings' good-natured teasing. Several commenters also complimented Vanessa, calling her and Kai a beautiful mother-daughter duo.

The way that we dress often reflects how we feel – and vice versa, what we wear can impact our mood, too. It's why we often turn to jogging bottoms and hoodies when we're depressed, or dressing fabulously when we're happy. Indeed, many of us dress for how we want to feel, with the dopamine-inducing effects of clothes becoming a popular sartorial philosophy. This is certainly the case for 58-year-old Canadian singer Celine Dion, who has debuted a series of frivolous and fun looks ahead of her comeback concert on September 12.

The singer – known for hit Nineties power ballads including My Heart Will Go On and It's All Coming Back To Me – will perform 10 shows over five weeks at the Paris La Défense Arena, after taking a six-year break due to ill health. She suffers from a rare neurological condition, Stiff Person Syndrome, which causes stiff muscles in the arms, legs and torso, and can be extremely painful. At one point, the syndrome made it difficult for Dion to sing.
Following years of treatment, Dion is now ready to perform again. And her attitude to fashion proves it, as she's showcased a variety of different sartorial personalities in the run up – from tailoring with jeans, to the classic "little black dress".

WASHINGTON, D.C. — FIRST ON FOX: As Washington, D.C., grapples with a persistent squatting problem, one resident in the nation's capital is speaking out about how unwelcome tenants have turned her life upside down, terrorizing her neighborhood while the city stands by and does nothing.
"I lived in several countries, including Third World countries, but it seems to me that I'm living in a Fourth World country in D.C.," Tatyana Day Velasquez, who owns a small three-unit building in Columbia Heights, told Fox News Digital.
"I've never seen something like it. There's no accountability for what goes on. Everybody just throws the ball to each other, and there's no help. So how can somebody resolve a problem like mine if you don't get help?"
For a tumultuous eight months, Velasquez said her property's basement apartment has been overrun by strangers who refuse to leave and live rent-free with no consequences in sight.

On a cold November morning, designer Isaac Mizrahi gets up, leaves his apartment, and trudges to the corner newsstand to pick up a copy of Women's Wear Daily. It's the day after Mizrahi's Spring/Summer 1994 show, and the ink on the reviews is still wet. Reading from the pages, he quotes, "'His usually great color sense failed him, his fabric sense failed him, and certainly, his sense of how a modern woman dresses after 8 p.m. failed him." The verdict is withering. Mizrahi, one of the great artists of '90s ready-to-wear fashion, has been tossed out. Disgraced. Lightly "cancelled," as some might call it these days.
Douglas Keeve's sublime 1995 documentary, "Unzipped," follows Mizrahi in the aftermath of a train wreck, piecing his reputation back together with his next collection, attempting to make something beautiful from the rubble. We find Mizrahi's world in grayscale, drained of color in the wake of critical and cultural failure. Then, the opening notes of Sandra Bernhard's 1994 cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" cue the pigmentation, cascading over bright images of models in fittings, garments hanging from racks, and plenty of DayGlo faux furs. In her version, Bernhard alters the lyrics to pay tribute to Sylvester, whose untimely death left an immense legacy. "Sylvester, sister," Bernhard coos, "You were so beautiful, you were so fragile, you were so . . . real."
But just before Bernhard finishes the word, the song fades to silence, as if to say that realness — genuine authenticity in your life and work, at the cost of criticism — will always be snuffed out before it can be fully appreciated. That is the price of beauty. What is up must always come down.
(Janus Films) Isaac Mizrahi in "Unzipped"
After years in cinematic obscurity — the film hasn't been readily available outside of the eBay market in decades — "Unzipped" will return to theaters later this month, with a loving 4K restoration from Janus Films, just as another fashion-world controversy is heating up. Earlier this week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art declared it would no longer proceed with its Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition honoring John Galliano, scheduled to debut next year. When the scrapped "John Galliano: Horizons" was announced in July, the exhibition was immediately met with an outpouring of criticism. Detractors accused the museum of being tone deaf, citing a 2011 video of Galliano going on a drunken antisemitic and racist rant at a Paris bar, for which Galliano was promptly ousted from his spot as creative director at Dior. Following the video surfacing, Galliano apologized, went to rehab, and, over the last few years, experienced a brand resurgence that some would call a whitewashing.
