London CNN  —  Tom Cruise didn’t attend the Oscars ceremony this year, but there’s a special occasion the Hollywood star didn’t want to miss: Michael Caine’s 90th birthday celebrations in London. The “Top Gun: Maverick” actor has been credited with helping to drive audiences back to the big screen, so it was a surprise when he didn’t attend one of the biggest nights of awards season on Sunday. Deadline reported that Cruise was skipping the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles because of work, with production for the next installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise currently underway. Now Cruise, 60, has been pictured at Caine’s birthday party at The River Cafe in Hammersmith, west London. Caine turned 90 on Tuesday. The pair have known one another for years, starring together in the 2002 “Austin Powers in Goldmember” movie. They were joined by other British celebrities, including the comedian David Walliams…

CNN  —  The party looks set to go on well into the night in Miami’s South Beach, for now at least, after ban on alcohol sales after 2 a.m. was temporarily halted. Earlier this week a judge ruled that last call for booze in parts of South Beach can be shifted from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. following several attempts by Miami Beach officials to address complaints about nightclubs from city residents. Now a Miami-Dade County judge has granted a temporary halt to the planned ban, allowing Miami Beach nightclubs to serve alcohol until 5 a.m. through the spring break season, according to a representative for Story nightclub. The business filed a motion Wednesday to withhold enforcement of the city ordinance until after March 27 – the peak of spring break tourism – according to Miami Dade County Court documents. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Reemberto Diaz approved the motion at…

Written by Marianna Cerini, CNNThe 1513 portrait "An Old Woman" by Flemish artist Quinten Massys might well be one of the Renaissance's most famous paintings. It is also one of the period's most atypical. With wrinkled skin, withered breasts, and eyes set deep in their sockets, Massys' subject — believed to be either a fictional folkloric character or a woman suffering from an exceptionally rare form of Paget's disease — is visibly elderly. But she's not just old; she's grotesque. Her forehead is bulging, her nose snub and wide, her squared chin overly prominent. Even her attire is a far cry from what you'd expect a Renaissance lady her age to wear. Rather than modest, sober clothes, she's donning a revealing low-cut dress showing off her décolleté (and those dimpled breasts). She shares none of the idealized qualities seen in other female figures of that era, like Sandro Botticelli's Venus…
