The origin story of how Mate Rimac became part owner and CEO of one of the most legendary automotive marques on the planet is the fantastical stuff of Disney films. When it was first announced the young entrepreneur behind a nascent, but clearly prom

She’s a star, she’s a star, she’s a big, bright, shining star. And Anastasia Bondarenko’s striking, “Boogie Nights”–themed Maxim photo shoot—lensed by veteran photographer Antoine Verglas at Manhattan nightclub The Palace—is proof that even Dirk Digg

“You already know I’m the queen of kings,” proclaims Willow Sias in the hook of her first single. A bold claim for a brand-new artist, but the confidence is warranted. “Queen of Kings” hit No. 8 on iTunes’ R&B/Soul chart when the track debuted in mid
