I’ve spent the past day or so thinking about whether the world would be a better place if Alix Earle, the influencer who recently professed to have never read a book, was forced to suffer through a novel or a work of nonfiction. And the answer I’ve come up with, an answer that feels pretty obvious, is: not really. So, why are people so annoyed by Earle’s admission that, li

This week we learned that Channing Tatum is not—I repeat, not—maintaining a secret burner Instagram account where he says shady things about his ex-fiancée … but wouldn’t it be great if he were?

Bush decided to take up painting later in life, he could have played it safe, with puppies and children and landscapes. He’s done some of that, but he’s also consistently surprised people—there were those nudes that were discovered in an email hack and, after that, the provocative decision to paint portraits of world leaders like Vladimir Putin and Tony Blai
A Beloved ’90s Movie Just Dropped a Sequel. Its Original Stars Came Back. There’s Just One Problem. (opens the original)

Practical Magic 2 is not the kind of movie whose details one is supposed to dwell over. It’s a nostalgia-fueled sequel to the late-’90s sleepover classic starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, and it expects its audience not to mind, for example, the minor point that its main plotline—the Owens sisters need to break the curse that has plagued their family for generatio
