It’s hard to be the mother of a daughter, and just as hard to be the daughter of a mother — as every woman on the planet can attest. You want your daughter to be like you but not like you, and when she does (or doesn’t) meet your expectations of what an exactly-like-you-but-somehow-much-different-and-better version might be, it’s enraging. As a daughter, you want to be just like your mother and at the same time nothing like her at all, and you push fiercely against her example even as you struggle to follow it.

If You See Sarah Koenig From Serial on a Plane, Dont Talk to Her: Shes Afraid and Watchi
It’s nearly impossible not to have a fangirl moment in a room filled with such celebrities as Bradley Cooper, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Karlie Kloss. For Sarah Koenig of “Serial,” it wasn’t Kloss but the thought of meeting another blonde at this year’s Time 100 Gala that made her giddy. Vulture caught up with Koenig and fellow Peabody-winning podcast partner Julie Snyder at Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall, and found out that Koenig’s reasons for wanting to meet co-honoree Reese Witherspoon went beyond just her Oscar-worthy films.

In Artist Cory Arcangels Latest Show, Kim Kardashian Provides the Material
Cory Arcangel’s /roʊˈdeɪoʊ/ Let’s Play: HOLLYWOOD at Greene Naftali. Money and fame, by any means necessary, has always been Kim Kardashian West’s aim. Over time, her brand-savviness and amassed wealth have earned her the respect of at least some of the “right” people; she now regularly graces the pages of magazines like Forbes and Vogue as an entrepreneur, criminal-justice reformer, and billionaire shapewear creator, rather than a chronically attention-seeking reality star.

In Conversation: Karen O
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer will give in to her urges, so long as she’s onstage. Photo: Daria Kobayashi Ritch Photo: Daria Kobayashi Ritch Listen for the splintering yowl and you’ll hear Karen O attempting an exorcism. Her shows with her band, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in the early 2000s were crotch-grabbing, microphone-fellating, olive-oil-drizzling art-punk chaos, performed in outfits by costume designer and artist Christian Joy that looked like the next morning’s hangover.

In Defense of Sofia Coppolas Marie Antoinette
MCDMAAN EC023 To be fair, not everyone hated Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. New York’s David Edelstein called it “one of the most immediate, personal costume dramas ever made”; 55 percent of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes sided with him, to varying degrees. But seven years later, Marie Antoinette, loosely based on the best-selling Antonia Fraser biography, is probably Coppola’s least-loved film. It’s the one that got booed at Cannes (though of course it did, Cannes is in France); it is the one that didn’t live up to Lost in Translation.

In The Devil All the Time, Jason Clarke Finally Embraces the Cuck
Jason Clarke doing what he does best in The Devil All the Time — watching his onscreen wife have sex with another man. Part of the reason we love character actors is the way they act as narrative shorthand. If Charles Dance shows up in a movie, you know he’ll be a stern, steely eyed patrician. If it’s Margo Martindale, we can expect her to serve up warm, homey scenery-chewing.
