How Thee Stallion got her PickleBack

I know it’s an overused expression… but to me, this is Important. I take it personally. It’s the collaboration we never knew we needed – and it’s an advertisement, free advertising in this case, but if you’ve been reading this website basically since its inception, you know

JLo and the “name”

It’s the final week of Jennifer Lopez’s latest residency in Las Vegas. The final show will be on Saturday but it was a moment from her show the other night that’s making headlines. It happens when she pulls someone up from the crowd and when she asks

Anne Hathaway gives homework

One of the biggest surprises that I’ve learned about myself in adulthood is that I like homework. This was not me in school – hated homework, and I was lucky, I was able to pick up concepts in conventional learning environments, so I could be that student who crammed at

The Stallion on Broadway

Megan Thee Stallion made her Broadway debut last night in Moulin Rouge! The Musical as Zidler, the first female-identifying performer in any production of the show worldwide. It’s an eight-week limited run, amazing that she’s taking on this challenge. Because, of course, Broadway is a specific skillset and

Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse

Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse

Famed screenwriter William Goldman said it best – “Sequels Are Whores’ Movies”. Modernised for today’s world, I guess you could paraphrase it, “Reboots Are Whores’ Series”. Too much? Too strong for this early in the day, or to be associated with the recently-murdered Buffy reboot? Not at all. If anything,

Timothée Chalamet’s crash-out from grace

Harry and Meghan’s great timing

When I say great timing, I don’t just mean for them but for the British royal family, because for the last week, every headline about King Charles and the institution has been connected to Just Andrew’s f-ckery, as hard as they’ve tried to provide distractions. Now Prince
