Welcome to the great unwokening of Hollywood! Shame no one can be bothered to turn up

I was on a walk around my local area in London when I was stopped in my tracks by a young man sauntering past me, wearing stone-wash jeans, a pair of shades and a “Reagan-Bush ’84” T-shirt. He gave off an incredibly smug air but, to be fair, he did look good. It’s a nice T-shirt, not like those garish Reform-branded football kits, so I could see why it might be appealing. A quick search informed me that for gen-Z rightwingers in the US, it has...

The Queen of Versailles review – Kristin Chenoweth goes big in unwieldy Broadway musical

Like the US Capitol a century later, Versailles, that magnificent and ludicrously opulent monument to the French monarchy, was built on questionable grounds: marshland. Many in King Louis XIV’s circle side-eyed his decision to relocate the court to a swampy village miles outside Paris, site of a royal hunting lodge and great potential folly. But he did it anyway – the wetland drained, the sand imported, the running water laboriously engineered...

Addison Rae review – glorious fantasy from pop’s newest star

On stage, two grand wrought iron-style gates merge seamlessly with the Forum theatre’s famous Greco-Roman statues. Their curlicued bars twist into a giant A, seemingly inspired by the scribbles teenagers have inked in notebooks everywhere since Edward Scissorhands mainstreamed goths in 1990. Silhouetted muscle men open the gates and the screaming begins. Addison Rae comes out to Fame Is a Gun, a single from her overwhelmingly praised debut...

Saturday Night Live: Nikki Glaser takes hold of raunchy, fast-moving episode

It was a night of fresh faces at Saturday Night Live. In the illustrious half-century-and-counting history of the variety series, there have been a shocking lack of female stand-up hosts. Even during the height of the stand-up boom in the 80s and 90s, there were just three: Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr and Rosie O’Donnell. In the past decade, Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish serve as the only two examples. Now, Nikki Glaser joins the select group...

‘I can’t control how others perceive me’: Sydney Sweeney on boxing, weight gain and her flair for controversy

There was much blood and sweat – but few tears – involved in Sydney Sweeney’s transformation into Christy Martin. David Michôd’s biopic of the trailblazing fighter, who hauled women’s boxing into the US mainstream in the mid-1990s, spends much of its runtime recreating Martin’s real-life fights. And she doesn’t always win. I left the screening wondering if I had genuinely just seen Sweeney – whose acclaimed acting career, canny commercial...
