From Olympics to "Dirty Dancing": What's Hot Now!

News Article

The year 2026 is shaping up to be a busy one, with events spanning from the Winter Olympics in Italy to red carpets in Paris and a North American tour of "Dirty Dancing: The Musical." The Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, described as the most widespread in history, are on the horizon, according to NPR Politics.

In the entertainment world, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi premiered "Wuthering Heights" in Paris, as reported by Variety. Other celebrities, including Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Bomer, promoted their latest projects for Apple TV in Santa Monica. Ryan Murphy's "JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette" series, "Love Story," premiered in New York City, Variety noted.

"Dirty Dancing: The Musical," a stage adaptation of the 1987 film, is set to launch its North American tour in August at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in Saint Paul, Minn., according to Variety. Additional tour cities and casting details are expected to be announced later.

Beyond entertainment and sports, cities are increasingly relying on technology to understand and manage their growth. Nature News reported that in 1950, about one in five people lived in a city, but now that figure is closer to one in two. Thirty-three urban centers have achieved megacity status, with Tokyo being one of the largest, boasting over 33 million residents. Smart sensors, such as carbon dioxide sensors on the Opéra Bastille building in Paris, are being used to measure atmospheric emissions.

Meanwhile, some individuals are facing significant life changes. Norman Schenck, 69, and his wife, Lorie Schenck, 67, are preparing for retirement and considering relocating from a Detroit suburb to central Ohio to be closer to their grandchildren, NPR News reported. They are currently renting a condo and are weighing the decision of whether to buy a home in this new chapter of their lives.
