Back in March, I grabbed some friends to see The Lost City at San Francisco’s AMC multiplex off Market Street. With movie theaters still recovering from the pandemic, I wasn’t surprised that the once-vibrant hot spot had become something of an empty shell of its former self. But on a Friday night in

In the immortal words of Barenaked Ladies, “it’s been one week.” It’s been one week since Keith McNally alleged via Instagram post that James Corden was “abusive” to his staff at Spring Street staple Balthazar.

The advent of a new Taylor Swift album gives us not only the gift of song, but the gift of things to talk about online — at least for the next week, or until Julia Fox concocts an outfit out of a household item. (Today it is the dress she made from a beach towel.)

This T. Swift album cycle has also

If there’s any celebrity that knows how to nail (pun intended) the art of the themed manicure, it’s Megan Thee Stallion.
