Two of pop music's longest-reigning performers have finally recorded together, and their joint single "Love Sensation" has already hit No. 1 in the United States, a calculated pairing that one marketing expert calls "a publicity stunt to get the algorithms up." Kylie Minogue, 58, made a surprise appearance during Madonna's Club Confessions concert at WorldPride Amsterdam last month to debut the duet live. The two walked out in matching skimpy purple outfits with long blonde hair, looking so alike that casual observers could have mistaken one for the other. The track, a remix from Madonna's latest album Confessions II, has since climbed to No. 8 on the UK charts and topped the American chart, The Sun reported . Between them, the two women…Open
In this episode of World of Travel, host Kolyn Boyd visits the residence of the Netherlands' Ambassador in D.C to speak the Ambassador to the U.S., Birgitta Tazelaar. As America marks its 250th, the ambassador traces a friendship stretching back to the nation's very first days, when a Dutch fort in the Caribbean fired the "First Salute" to the American flag in 1776, the first time a foreign power saluted the new nation.

Claims that an Iran-backed group is carrying out attacks in European cities raise questions about why they’re not targeting countries directly involved in the US-Israeli war, and why they appear to communicate like Israelis. Strangely, suspects arrested in the attacks have been released on bail.

Officially known as “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI),” or the “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right,” the group mysteriously appeared in early March, and, according to mainstream media, it’s taking the continent by storm. But a closer look at the supposedly Iran-backed terror organization suggests that it does not exist in any concrete form, and may be a confection of Israeli intelligence.
