Peachy and Liza

Two Legendary Icons Unite for an Unforgettable Night of Celebration and Purpose, October 21 at The Beverly Hilton

In what promises to be one of the most unforgettable moments in entertainment this year, Liza Minnelli will return to the 2025 Gala of the Stars to present the ICON Award to global superstar Janet Jackson. The star-studded evening, benefiting Dancers Against Cancer (DAC), takes place Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at The Beverly Hilton.

Liza Minnelli Presenting the 2025 ICON Award to Janet Jackson at Gala Of The Stars on October 21, 2025 at The Beverly Hilton

The Academy Award®–winning legend, who captivated audiences at last year's Gala with a heartfelt tribute performance that brought the room to its feet, now returns to honor another boundary-breaking trailblazer. The union of these two legendary women—each redefining artistry in her own era—marks a rare and emotional convergence of music, movement, and enduring influence.

Australian performer BP Major, Ms. Minnelli's Artistic Director and Choreographer, will produce the Liza Minnelli and Janet Jackson segment. Major produced and directed Ms. Minnelli's recent appearances on RuPaul's Drag Race for MTV and last year's IDA event, where Ms. Minnelli was presented with the award presented to Ms. Jackson this year.

"Having Liza return for this year's Gala of the Stars is an absolute honor," said Noah Lands, Founder and Executive Producer of Gala of the Stars and Dancers Against Cancer. "Her artistry and resilience embody everything this event stands for. To have her present the ICON Award to Janet Jackson—another powerhouse who has inspired generations—is nothing short of magical."

Minnelli, who received the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award, remains one of the most revered performers in history. From her Oscar®-winning role in Cabaret to a lifetime spent uplifting the worlds of dance, music, and film, Minnelli's impact continues to transcend generations. Her return to the Gala symbolizes not just legacy—but the living heartbeat of the arts community itself.

Hosted by Maks Chmerkovskiy, the black-tie affair will feature show-stopping live performances, star tributes, and appearances from dance and entertainment's most celebrated figures. The 2025 honorees include Ben Vereen, Janet Jackson, Derek Hough, Debbie Gibson, Julie McDonald, Christopher Scott, Anita Mann, Mandy Moore, Robbie Blue, Kaeli Ware, and more.

Since its founding, Dancers Against Cancer has distributed millions of dollars in aid, ensuring that no dancer faces cancer alone. Funds raised from the Gala directly support DAC's mission to provide financial and emotional support to those in need across the dance community.

About Gala of the Stars The Gala of the Stars is an annual celebration of artistry, resilience, and hope—uniting the dance and entertainment communities for an evening of unforgettable performances, tributes, and giving. Produced by KAR Productions, the event supports Dancers Against Cancer (DAC) and features world-renowned artists and change makers committed to making a difference through the arts.

About Dancers Against Cancer (DAC) Founded in 2012, Dancers Against Cancer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing financial assistance, emotional support, and community connection to dancers, teachers, and choreographers affected by cancer.

#RemarkableRealEstate Bungalow Projects and Bain Capital Real Estate Close $304 Million in Construction Financing for Echelon Studios, Two State-of-the-Art Film and TV Production Studios in New York City

Bungalow Projects, a real estate development firm focused on creating production hubs for episodic, film, and digital content creation, and Bain Capital Real Estate (“Bain Capital”) today announced the successful closing of $304 million in construction financing to support the development of Echelon Studios, two high-end film and television production studios in Brooklyn, New York.

CounterpointeSRE provided a $156 million Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing to support the project’s sustainable development efforts, representing the largest C-PACE transaction in New York State and first-ever C-PACE financing for ground-up development in New York City. An affiliate of Farallon Capital Management provided $147 million in additional financing.

Combined, the two Brooklyn developments will result in approximately 600,000 square feet of production space across ten state-of-the-art soundstages, top-tier production office and support spaces, and significant below-grade parking. With 40-foot clear-to-grid heights, the purpose-built soundstages will offer column-free space with market-leading electric, HVAC, floor load, and acoustic specifications designed to meet or exceed modern-day production requirements. Specific details of each project include:Echelon Studios Bushwick is located at 242 Seigel Street and will comprise six stages totaling 102,000 square feet of stage space, 86,000 square feet of production support space, 76,000 square feet of production office space, and 91,000 square feet of below-grade parking for over 230 spaces.Echelon Studios Red Hook is located at 176 Dikeman Street and will comprise four stages totaling 67,000 square feet of stage space, 75,000 square feet of production support space, 49,000 square feet of office space, and 55,000 square feet of below-grade parking for over 185 spaces.

With over 25% of their energy needs to be met by rooftop solar panel systems alone, the all-electric buildings will be LEED Gold, as well as meet the requirements for NYC’s Ultra-Low Energy Building program. Additionally, both projects are in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Brownfield Cleanup Program and supported by their New York City Industrial Development Agency.

“We are excited to move forward on developing these state-of-the-art facilities that will cater to all types of episodic and film production and fill New York City’s undersupply of purpose-built stages that are critical to the growth of New York’s content production ecosystem,” said Travis Feehan, Co-Founder of Bungalow Projects. “We are grateful for the support we received from our lending partners and look forward to their continued support as we break ground on these cutting-edge and sustainable projects that will expand the realm of opportunities for New York City’s vibrant film and television production industry,” added Susi Yu, Co-Founder of Bungalow Projects.

Both projects are slated to be completed in mid-2027 and are expected to generate approximately 2,400 jobs across studio operations and construction. Productions filming at Echelon Studios will benefit from the recently expanded New York State Film Tax Credit Program, which provides $800 million in annual incentives through 2036.

WomenHeart @WomenHeartOrg and BBC StoryWorks Spotlight Urgent Need to Address Heart Disease in Women in Global Beats of Change Series

WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is featured in a new episode of "Beats of Change," a global documentary series launching September 25 on BBC.com. The episode addresses a critical gap in cardiovascular care: more than 60 million U.S. women live with heart disease, the leading cause of death for women, yet nearly half are unaware of their risk, and many face misdiagnosis due to gender disparities in care.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming nearly 20 million lives every year—yet most cases are preventable. The burden is especially heavy in lower-resource countries, where access to prevention and treatment remains limited. Across the globe, gaps in awareness, stigma, and misperceptions about CVD contribute to delayed diagnoses and poorer outcomes.

Within this global challenge lies a critical and often overlooked issue: women's heart health. In the United States alone, more than 60 million women are living with heart disease, the number one killer of women. Yet nearly half of women are unaware of their risk, and many experience misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis due to differences in symptoms and persistent gender disparities in care.

Too often, women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or treated too late. By sharing lived experiences and raising awareness about risks like high cholesterol, we can empower women globally to take charge of their heart health and change outcomes." Celina Gorre, WomenHeart's CEO

WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is partnering with BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions to spotlight these urgent issues in a new episode of The World Heart Federation's beats of change, a global film and multimedia series launching September 25 on BBC.com and the World Heart Federation's site.

The WomenHeart episode highlights the organization's peer-support network—the only national nonprofit model of its kind for women with heart disease—and underscores the importance of women's voices in transforming heart health. It also draws attention to a critical but underrecognized risk factor: high LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), which can silently damage arteries and lead to a heart attack or stroke. Knowing and managing LDL levels is essential for prevention; yet, many remain unaware of their numbers or their associated risk.

"Heart disease is the world's biggest killer, and women's stories must be part of the solution," said Celina Gorre, WomenHeart's CEO. "Too often, women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or treated too late. By sharing lived experiences and raising awareness about risks like high cholesterol, we can empower women globally to take charge of their heart health and change outcomes."

At the heart of the documentary is WomenHeart's Champions program, a network of more than 1,200 women trained in partnership with Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, to become peer supporters, educators, and advocates. These Champions lead support groups, host community events, speak at local and national events, and bring women's perspectives into national conversations on heart health—helping to close dangerous gaps in care.

WomenHeart's episode is supported by Amgen and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, highlighting their commitment to education and support for women at risk of and living with heart disease.

As part of a broader international series, Beats of Change features stories from across continents—innovators in Switzerland developing wearable devices to track blood pressure, medical teams in Saudi Arabia supporting young transplant patients, and WomenHeart in the U.S. leading the charge for women's heart health equity. Together, these stories highlight the urgent global effort to mitigate the impact of cardiovascular disease and prioritize heart health for all.

About WomenHeart

WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease is the first and only national patient-centered organization solely devoted to advancing women's heart health through education, advocacy, and peer support. Founded in 1999 by three women who had survived heart attacks, WomenHeart empowers women with lived experience to support others, raises awareness of the risks, and fights for equity in care so that every woman has the knowledge, tools, and support to protect her heart.

Amazon Pharmacy Launches In-Office Kiosks to Help Patients Get Medications Immediately After Appointments

SHOP PEACHY DEEGAN ON AMAZON!

Amazon Pharmacy (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced the launch of Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks, an innovative new service that allows patients to pick up prescriptions within minutes of their medical appointment. Beginning December 2025, kiosks will be available at select One Medical offices across the greater Los Angeles area, including Downtown LA, West LA, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, and West Hollywood. Amazon Pharmacy Kiosk expansion to additional One Medical offices and other locations will follow.

The Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks service brings the pharmacist to the patient—delivering the same trusted clinical service they would expect at a pharmacy counter, but on the patient's own terms and without the wait, helping patients start treatment faster.Share

Each year in the U.S., nearly one-third of prescriptions are never filled—a problem compounded by widespread access challenges. One in four neighborhoods are considered pharmacy deserts, leaving millions without convenient medication access. Even when patients do make it to the pharmacy, only half say their prescriptions are filled quickly, according to J.D. Power. These barriers add up to delayed treatments, missed doses, and preventable healthcare costs.

Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks are designed to close this gap—making it possible for patients to pick up their medications within minutes of their appointment, right where they receive care. The service brings the pharmacist to the patient—delivering the same trusted clinical service they would expect at a pharmacy counter, but on the patient’s own terms and without the wait.

"We know that when patients have to make a separate stop after seeing their doctor, many prescriptions never get filled," said Hannah McClellan, Vice President of Operations, Amazon Pharmacy. "By bringing the pharmacy directly to the point of care, we're removing a critical barrier and helping patients start their treatment when it matters most—right away.”

Patients who have their prescriptions sent to Amazon Pharmacy can choose to pick up from the in-office kiosk when they place their order in the Amazon app. After placing their order, their medication is ready for pickup within minutes—with no separate trip to the pharmacy required. For added support, patients can connect with an Amazon Pharmacy licensed pharmacist via secure video or phone consultation.

"As clinicians, we see firsthand how delays in starting medication can impact treatment outcomes," said Dr. Andrew Diamond, Chief Medical Officer at One Medical. "The ability to know a patient is leaving our office with their medication in hand—especially for conditions requiring immediate treatment like infections—can make a meaningful difference in their care journey."

How Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks Work

Powered by Amazon’s logistics expertise and technology, each kiosk is stocked with a curated inventory of medications based on the prescribing patterns of the specific One Medical office where they’re located.

The process is simple:Create an Amazon Pharmacy account at pharmacy.amazon.com

Schedule an appointment at any participating One Medical location and ask your provider to send your prescription to Amazon Pharmacy

At checkout in the Amazon app, select kiosk pickup and pay with your preferred method

You’ll get a QR code to scan at the kiosk to pick up your medication

An Amazon pharmacist will review your medication and it will be ready for pickup within minutes

Through the Amazon app, patients can see upfront costs (including available discounts and estimated insurance copays), pay for their prescriptions, and—if needed—connect directly to an Amazon Pharmacy licensed pharmacist via secure video or phone consultation.

"We've designed the kiosk experience to be simple, fast, and patient-centered," said McClellan. "But we also understand that patients sometimes have questions about their medications. That's why every kiosk transaction includes access to our team of pharmacists who can provide consultation via video or phone, just as they would at a traditional pharmacy counter."

The launch underscores Amazon Health Services’ mission to make healthcare simpler, more accessible, and more customer-centric by meeting patients where they are.
