Telling hairstylist TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is slept on and misunderstood…the work never stops.

Oh it’s real

To my happy surprise, "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" rules. Bombastic and depraved and mean and horny. Alison Oliver MVP. A real "I love movies!!" situation. Long live big swings!

ten years ago today no one clapped

“It would take years—and a national reckoning with sexual harassment and assault—before I called what happened to me assault,” Brooke Nevils writes, about her 2017 accusation against former ‘Today’ anchor Matt Lauer.

MARTY SUPREME marketing update: Thought I was going to have to arm twist to watch w family Christmas day, but siblings have all heard about and are excited. (Parents hadn't heard of yet.)

I’m Thanksgiving statistic! Sliced finger open on blender blade and needed stitches. Talked to doctor about The Pitt….she agreed 4th of July worst of the year.

Sucks, in general, to truly not know how to best help.

A cockroach crawled on my bare foot and up my leg while my pedicure was drying at the salon and I don’t have a joke here isn’t that insanely gross and upsetting!! It happened a week ago and I’m still thinking about!!They should have comped me something but they didn’t!!!!

HE MAY NOT HAVE READ HAMLET BUT I EXPLAINED IT TO HIM

taylor swift as last wtf guest!??? (I say possible *if* she's got album out this fall) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzAG...

Overheard a guy at brunch tell another guy he was the Mrs. Astor of the group (the rest of the group agreed?!)

would you look at that i'm going to see oh mary again

A big announcement that veteran journalists are being moved out of their jobs and into unspecified new roles and that they will be replaced by TBD feels extremely ominous. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

talked friends into a 4:30 restaurant res tonight (all that was avail) so sending this article around...I'm visionary, actually www.thecut.com/article/the-...

Not all of TOO MUCH works, but most of it does and I really enjoyed. Meg Stalter, Will Sharpe!! and Andrew Scott all perfect. I have thoughts about the ending!!

SUNDAY NIGHT HBO BABY TIME TO SEE BROADWAY'S FINEST ON THE GILDED AGE CARRIE COON OUT FOR BLOOD

oh hey here's something fun: A few weeks ago, I started a new job as deputy executive editor of Us Weekly. Excited and grateful!

I'm reading Once Upon a Time (the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy bio that is basis for the forthcoming TV show) and it's really sharp and fascinating and I totally recommend. Also it's *wild* how similar her story is to Meghan in terms of marrying a famous family with a public that didn't want you there!

Wild news about airing “Good Night, and Good Luck” live the night before it closes — *and* I absolutely love that this release uses the word penultimate, and that no one dumbed that down.

Ladies and gentlemen, from tonight at this hour exactly 50 years ago… Cher. youtu.be/MNOgdxsQLpw?...

I was happily wrong about the STRANGER THINGS play on Broadway. While some of second act drags, it's mostly a fun, creepy thrill ride that is excellent at translating the excitement of the show. For better or worse, it truly feels like watching an episode or two of the Netflix smash.

Spoke to Kimberly Belflower about writing one of my favorite plays of the year! www.theatermania.com/news/intervi...

SNL need to get Reese Witherspoon to play Karoline Leavitt and I’ve never been more right about something my whole damn life.

"What are you working on these days?" Well...I accidentally (on purpose) read every book Julia Quinn (BRIDGERTON) has ever written, so.

JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN is one of the best plays of the year. Right up my alley about teen girls dealing w/ the MeToo movement. Funny & full of life & I would recommend to anyone. A real delight to be in an audience full of so many young women responding to it. Plus: Taylor swift references!!

Had most amazing time watching PRIDE & PREJUDICE in theaters for 20th anniversary w/ mostly full crowd. Theater chains leaving money on table not releasing older films more regularly. Perfect experience w/ fellow DELIGHTED fans & also I forgot how FUNNY it is. Mr. Collins loser!

I know reviews were kind of mixed but I really enjoyed GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, a big history play that’s thematically a bummer but with plenty to say. Plus:

THRILLING that everyone is loving THE STUDIO. A comedy show with actual jokes doesn’t happen often, but it sure is fun when it does. (sick, bad, cooked industry.)

Absolutely loved PURPOSE, *another* sharp family drama by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins — except this one is a lot funnier than Appropriate. OH, MARY vs PURPOSE is going to be a real interesting race.

John lithgow having amazing night???

Congratulations to the terrifically funny play Eureka Day, a scathing, hilarious, and even moving take on vaccine wars, for failing to pass muster as State-Approved GOP Art. Surely some venue in DC wants to serve as a home for what will now be a cause celebre. www.theatermania.com/news/kennedy...

The rumors (and news stories🙃) are true! I was laid off from IndieWire. I'm bummed & now looking for work. Get in touch about writing/editing/content strategy: Strecker.erin @ gmail!

Apropos

Thank GOD The Independent convincingly figured out who Reese was talking about because otherwise this was massively derailing day www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

goodnight, sweet princes

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

what if i told you steve from sex and the city had an uncredited line of dialogue in wicked as the tamarin monkey. Well: Steve from sex and the city had an uncredited line of dialogue in wicked as the tamarin monkey people.com/ariana-grand...

I've simply never felt more confident we're getting a SOCIAL NETWORK sequel (wanted or not)

My big idea for how to handle awards nominations during this horrible time: cancel in-person events, send out an embargoed press release, and end said release with a note on the GIANT DONATION your org is sending to relief efforts. The end!
