 Strangely enough, I don’t feel like trash is important today. I don’t know why, maybe we can understand together? Because it’s really true, you can’t understand the world if you don’t understand trash. But for the past two, three years, I feel that trash doesn’t bring me anything. It's probably because it’s more of a fantasy: a super-high, super-low fantasy, and I’m trying to understand it now exactly and be more realistic. More practical. More useful. I don’t know why, but I think it’s a moment where you can be somehow serious in your work. I feel it’s not the moment for fantasies though—of course, we’ll always have fantasy—but because it’s so difficult to understand what’s happening… the metaverse, NFTs, all that kind of world that is run in parallel. Is it good? Is it wrong? Also cancel culture, all the big, big problems that are around. You have to change the way you think or adapt. Is it wrong? Is it good to talk about politics? Because, for instance, I’ve always refused to t...

 Questions about Kim’s post-divorce independence have been central to The Kardashians thus far. Can Kim prove herself on live TV as a comedian? How will she style herself without Kanye? Will she really pass the “baby bar” exam and eventually become an attorney? This week, it’s a buzzy deal with Balenciaga and a futuristic Vogue cover that reflect her renewed—and, in fact, elevated—sense of agency. Along the way, we get a glimpse inside her archival closet, which contains everything she’s ever publicly worn. Khloe debuts her sleek new house, and Kris and Kylie embark on an adventure akin to classic Keeping Up episodes in its absurdity: a day of doing “normal things.” Here are three things that kept me up after episode seven of The Kardashians. Kris explains why they seldom shop for themselves these days. “One of the things that gets a little tricky is privacy,” she says. “I stopped going to the grocery store because people in the store were sneaking pictures. It was hard.” The edit ...

 Two years after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 edition and following a muted run last summer, the world’s largest celebration of cinema returned to the Côte d’Azur for its 75th anniversary last week, kicking off a 10-day whirlwind of glamour, spectacle, and megawatt stars. The opening night on Tuesday set the tone. During a celebrity-strewn black-tie gala in the Palais des Festival’s Grand Théâtre Lumière, festival president Pierre Lescure bestowed upon the American actor Forest Whitaker an honorary Palme d’Or, the festival’s most prestigious award. In a moving and poignant acceptance speech, Whitaker—who has appeared in more than 30 films, including Good Morning Vietnam and The Last King of Scotland, for which he won the Oscar for best actor—told the audience that the first time he attended Cannes was in 1988 for Clint Eastwood’s film Bird, in which he played legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker. Whitaker was “just a kid,” he recalled, and was “blown...

"Farfetch is a master at reinventing itself to ride the latest trends in online retail. But it's having a tough time convincing investors it's not just another pandemic stock," writes Brian Baskin. "Like most o...

 Katie Holmes and her new boyfriend Bobby Wooten III appeared on the red carpet together on Thursday, May 26. They were attending The Moth’s 25th Anniversary gala, The Silver Ball, held at Spring Studios in New York City. The 43-year-old Dawson's Creek star stepped out with the 33-year-old Grammy nominee, getting affectionate in front of the cameras. Wooten grew up in Chicago, a midwesterner like Holmes, who is native to Toledo. The musician and composer is playing bass in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway at the moment, but he seems to have projects and performances popping up everywhere. At this year's Coachella, Wooten performed with Carly Rae Jepsen, he was nominated for a Grammy Award, and is also an adjunct instructor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. A source told People that Wooten is “an amazing guy, very kind, super talented and just an all-around cool guy. He’s a highly accomplished bassist and musician, and is as chill and brilliant and funny as they come.” Woote...

 t’s fitting, in the sick tragicomedy of Barry, that Sally Reed’s triumph should look so much like a meltdown. As played by Canadian actress Sarah Goldberg, Sally is sweetly narcissistic, likable for an unlikable type, so self-involved that she never notices her cheerleader boyfriend—Bill Hader’s Barry—is a sociopathic hit-man addicted to his own trigger finger. In the long-anticipated third season, Sally is finally churning her trauma as a domestic abuse survivor into a Hollywood cash cow; she’s producing, writing, and starring in a show named after her hometown of Joplin, Missouri, all about a mother who coaches her young daughter out of a violent relationship. At Joplin’s premiere, Sally learns the show has earned a 98 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Turns out, the critics like the pretty package in which she's boxed her tragedy. Although Barry is a comedy, there’s a reason why so many of its laughs feel more like winces. “This is where [Sally’s] trauma and her art are being m...
