ROYALTY EDITION

GOOD WEEK/BAD WEEK

Queen Elizabeth II

The monarch celebrated the 60th anniversary of her coronation ceremony

Princess Madeleine

The Swedish princess was fined for driving in a bus lane

VIRAL DESSERT

Cronut

A month after chef Dominique Ansel debuted the cronut, a croissant fried like a doughnut, hybrid-dessert lovers are crowding New York City’s Ansel Bakery. Even with a two-per-person limit, they sell out by about 8 a.m., and scalped pastries go for as much as $40\. You can buy them on Craigslist too–just watch out for forgeries.

SPOTLIGHT

Opera doesn’t often get used for propaganda purposes, but it did during China’s Cultural Revolution, when traditional works were replaced by state-sanctioned art. Zhang Yaxin photographed the so-called model operas, including the 1974 production of Azalea Mountain seen here; his work is on view at Presentation House Gallery in North Vancouver, B.C., June 14 to July 26\. See more at [lightbox.time.com](https://lightbox.time.com)

SOLD

$76,000

Amount fetched at auction for the photo collection “Our Russia Through the Eyes of Mikki,” 18 images taken by a chimpanzee who once performed for the Moscow circus and was trained to use a camera. Excuse the blurriness; it’s a new skill.

TRENDING

#PutinSinglesAd

News of Vladimir Putin’s split from wife Lyudmila sent people running to Twitter to suggest how Russia’s once and future President should describe himself to potential paramours. Some winked at his tough-guy image (“rides horses sans shirt”), while others hinted at his softer side (“steely yet sensitive”).

RSVP

Something New

Talk about star-crossed lovers! A Georgia couple had a surprise guest at their recent wedding–John Travolta, who showed up unannounced, having met the lucky pair at a bar the night before. But Travolta isn’t the first celebrity to crash a civilian wedding. He joins a long line of VIP visitors:

2011

MERYL STREEP

She crashed one at a hall that played Parliament in The Iron Lady.

2011

SELENA GOMEZ AND JUSTIN BIEBER

Another reason to get married on a Malibu beach? Accidental pop-star appearances.

2012

LEBRON JAMES

Score! A couple snagged him to be in their big-day pics.

2012

BILL CLINTON

The President posed for pics at an Irish resort that was hosting a wedding.

2012

TAYLOR SWIFT

The country star made a matrimonial misstep as an uninvited plus-one at a Kennedy wedding.

COMPACTED MEMORIES

All kids dream of riding every ride and playing every game at an amusement park. Just think of James Dive’s Once as a twisted means to that end. The 13-ft. cube contains the myriad remnants of a traveling amusement park–tickets, toys, even the tracks of old rides–crushed into a heap of scrap metal and childhood nostalgia. Once is one of 64 works on view at the “Sculpture by the Sea” exhibition in Aarhus, Denmark, through June 30.

QUICK TALK

Taylor Hanson

Yes, that’s as in Hanson, the Oklahoma-bred trio that’s now in its third decade of pop-music production. Middle brother Taylor, 30, is still making music with Isaac and Zac. Their latest album is out June 18, and that’s not all they’ve got going on. Here Taylor chats with TIME.

–LILY ROTHMAN

Your new album is called Anthem. Does that mean it’s going to be epic?

We hope so. The other aspect is that if you look at the definition, it’s an uplifting song.

What’s it like to produce your own stuff?

You force yourself to genuinely be your worst critic. As the record label–producer–artist, there are three different hats you’re putting on. You can’t let one hat outweigh the others.

I have to ask you about “MMMBop.” What are your feelings about the song today?

I’m proud of it. More proud now than ever.

How often do you hear the word? Every day?

It comes up very often, let’s say that. Thankfully it’s a calling card that is not one that we’re embarrassed of, and never have been, because it’s our song. I think it stands up.

How did you decide how many M’s would be in MMM?

We were very specific about that. There’s three of us, which is always kind of nice, and it’s a timing thing. The rhythm feels like three.

And now you have a beer called Mmmhops. Have you had this idea forever, just waiting for the right moment?

I won’t say it’s not somewhat calculated that we’re releasing it the year of the band’s 21st birthday.

You could have a whole line of products that rhyme with bop.

It’s probably other beers, if this goes as well as we hope, that are references to other songs. We take our music very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. So, “Where’s the Lager?”

BOOZE

Can It Fly?

Spirit Airlines is taking cost cutting to new heights. To save storage space and fuel, Spirit is eliminating the last trace of classiness associated with a glass of wine in flight: the glass part. Cans of white and strawberry moscato are now available on board for $7\. What’s next–boxed wine?

3 THINGS YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS WEEK

1\. Tim Tebow’s irrelevance.

The former Jets quarterback signed with the New England Patriots.

2\. Pippa Middleton’s employment status.

Kate’s younger sister was recently named a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.

3\. Oprah Winfrey getting stingy.

The media mogul is giving $12 million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, now going up on Washington’s National Mall.
