Like any good millennial, I’m waiting patiently for the next season of And Just Like That… to drop on Max so that I can devour each episode like a five-course feast of inanity, talk about it obsessively with my coworkers on Slack, and ultimately disavow the show when anyone asks if I actually like it. … Read more
As an unabashed lifestyle-blog stan, I would like to encourage more celebrities to follow actor and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow’s example, and channel their wealth and status into stores that sell, to put it bluntly, all of the vaguely woo California stuff I love. I recently went to the store in Sag Harbor with my … Read more
I don’t know if anyone has seen a child do something before, but it is generally accepted that they are not very good at doing, well, anything at all. And so, when a 10-year-old North West performed as Young Simba during The Lion King’s 30th-anniversary concert in Los Angeles last weekend—and did not immediately demonstrate … Read more
In the halcyon days when Judy Garland performed at New York’s famed Palace Theater, it was, as Johnny Carson once put it, “bedlam.” Her outsize influence echoes to the present in Ben Platt’s new residency at the same theater, which he helped to reopen on Tuesday following a seven-year, $80 million dollar renovation.

Equal parts gloriously messy, hysterically funny, and painfully relatable, Queenie—a journalist in the throes of a quarter-life crisis—wasn’t just a dream role for the … Read more
It’s the end of May, and that means one thing: prom season has officially begun. (Surely, those unlucky enough to live directly opposite a high school—as I was for two very loud years in Austin— are already aware of this.) For some, the mere thought of prom conjures John Hughes-esque memories of lacy dresses, blooming … Read more
With I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself, MacNicol, a veteran writer for The New York Times and many other publications, artfully indicts the ageist industrial complex through her own lived experience. “I have found most of what we’re told about getting older to be a lie,” she says. “As you age, you are told you … Read more

14. Imagine if she had brought out Blackpink to perform their song “Sour Candy” together? I would have passed out. It’s interesting that Gaga didn’t bring out any special guests for this tour.
