This immediately shoots to the top of my running list of best celebrity anecdotes. (Other entries: Tommy Lee Jones telling Jim Carrey "I cannot sanction your buffoonery;" Prince telling Matt Damon "I live in my own heart, Matt Damon;" Jesse Eisenberg saying "Please, Abraham, I'm not that man")

New from me: I chatted with some of Late Show's most prolific guests, who shared their favorite memories with Stephen Colbert. Needless to say, this was a ton of fun to work on — even more so because I got to reunite with the one and only @busis.bsky.social! www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

You ever think about that one award season where every show had to pause for five minutes so everyone could give temple grandin a standing ovation

Has anyone before me considered that perhaps, cruises are just bad www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

You’ve got to appreciate Steinbeck starting a novel by saying “okay so I’m John Steinbeck, here is my whole deal”

Watching Devil Wears Prada made me nostalgic not just for a time when magazine editors had bottomless expense accounts, but also for the chick lit era. Read all about it! www.vanityfair.com/culture/stor...

Sort of amazing how when you get down to it, every election seems to be Tracy Flick vs. Chris Klein (or in this case, three Chris Kleins)

Sign of the times: guy who would always run the prospect park loop in a “let’s go Brandon” shirt has started wearing different shirts

I can't stop thinking about Justin and Cerina Fairfax, and how her death could have been prevented. I wrote about colleges and sexual assault, family courts forcing divorcing women to live with their abusers, and the entitlement of men who are cancelled by #MeToo www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

Please note that unlike the others, this new list is unranked, because even the Times is afraid of music stans

What conclusion can we draw from the rehabilitation of so many “canceled” famous men besides the obvious: people know what these men allegedly did, and *they just do not care*? www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I'm no professor, but could it be, Bret, that public trust in universities has declined because people like you have engaged in a decades-long project devoted to eroding that trust? Maybe? Possibly? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

NY Post's headline will be "Barack Hussein Obama and Monster Mayor Force Tots into School on Saturday"

Congresswoman, yassss

Imagine if I were in a feud with a woman who looked exactly like me, except her name was Hellary

To be fair this would also be my first move after finally winning an Oscar variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Really struggled tonight when six-year-old asked me to explain this Calvin and Hobbes to her

My husband likes to measure Trump's impeachable offenses in units of Watergate (i.e. "this is 40 Watergates") www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

I can't believe they canceled And Just Like That before we got to see Miranda fall in love with a lesbian chatbot

So controversial yet so brave

The rumors are true: today, I’m finally old enough to use Bluesky

The Water Polo Scandal That Rocked L.A.’s Most Elite Private School

@christress.bsky.social wrote a very juicy look inside Jubilee Media, the company behind Surrounded (the "ONE CONSERVATIVE VS. 25 PIERCED LEFTISTS" debate video series). The founder genuinely thinks he's saving the world! www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

Good interview.

Please note that Flav "is pretty flexible on timing" except for Oscar weekend.

Even the schools are way too excited about tomorrow’s “traditional snow day”

I wrote about the internet psychosis over Dr. Robby on The Pitt and why him being a jerk this season is THE POINT www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Age verification? I went to camp so long ago, Jesus Christ was my counselor.

I expect to see celebrities I don't respect in AI ads—but Matthew Broderick? Disappointed in you, Matthew.

Every Olympic opening ceremony, I think of Wesley Snipes.

Friendship is when you take turns Venmoing $100 to each other in perpetuity

On The Traitors, Tara and Johnny are literally the two dummies telling each other "exaaaactly" (complimentary)

I wrote about Peter Attia for @vanityfair.com because honestly we all deserve better than this garbage. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/p...

A typically existential moment on a French website

We'll always have (Mo Willems and The Storytime All-Stars Present: Don't Let the Pigeon Do Storytime Live! at) the Kennedy Center

Short answer: yes with an "if." Long answer: no with a "but." www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Did you even know that 1. I'm at Sundance and 2. VF has a Sundance liveblog? Did you?? www.vanityfair.com/live/live-up...

I wrote about the slashing of the recommended vaccine schedule for children for @vanityfair.com because I think it's too tempting to read RFK as being off in his own wacky "wellness" world. In fact, his attacks on public health are an integral part of Trump's overall project.

Obviously the most important thing you'll read today is my rant about how annoying it is when people call anyone they don't like a "nepo baby" www.vanityfair.com/credits/stor...

In Cars, a car voiced by Jeremy Piven says “mishpocha,” implying the existence of Jewish vehicles

We were talking about how the kids didn't have school for some holiday and my stepfather was like, "well with that new mayor of yours, maybe nobody's going to have school anymore." I said, "I'm not totally sure what you mean by that?" and he said "you know what, actually I'm not either"

It's always kinda funny when the Durst Organization openly lobbies to harvest your blood

How do I convince my phone that “oit” is not a word, that I am never trying to say it, and that I always mean “out”

“Dismal,” “confused,” “demoralized,” “super fucked.” That, as one reporter tells Vanity Fair, is the mood inside CBS News this week—all because of Bari Weiss, about 14 minutes of television that criticized the Trump administration, and a Canadian streaming service.

When you get interviewed multiple times over the course of a year and the interviews are recorded and you sit for formal photographs with a well known national magazine you definitely know it’s on the record.

This REUNITED was so much fun. Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke on their days running around NY together, making out playing Truth or Dare, filming GREAT EXPECTATIONS, being and having nepo babies, and Hawke's undying love for Taco Bell: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Throughout the first year of Donald Trump’s second administration, Vanity Fair writer Chris Whipple has interviewed Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff, amid each moment of crisis. His insider’s account of Trump 2.0 joins the photography of Christopher Anderson for a portrait of power—and peril.
