On April 25, 2009, my phone began to blow up with texts:
I’m so sorry for ur loss
RIP BEA :-(
TYFBAF
It happened. I’d sensed it before it was even confirmed, but the news was official: Bea Arthur had passed away. My favorite Golden Girl was gone. Almost a year later, I would get her face tattooed on my arm above a laurel wreath and the words “Thank you for being a friend.

Robert Durst in The Jinx. I’ve never seen anything quite like the ending of the HBO series The Jinx.
That’s not the same thing as saying I unreservedly love and admire Andrew Jarecki’s documentary series.

They’ve arrived at the same crossroads and taken completely different paths to the same destination. Rock and roll is a very Western art form; it’s branded by our homegrown strain of doublethink. Rock stars question the power structure while moving like tiny model corporations. They challenge the dream of wealth and prosperity because they believe in it. This is how the Grateful Dead managed to be Haight-Ashbury spiritual ambassadors and filthy-rich stadium regulars in the same lifetime, how David Bowie could peck at puritanism and prod at gender politics on both sides of the Atlantic while nursing a quiet fixation with fascism.

Ornette Coleman. Avant-garde jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman has died of cardiac arrest at the age of 85, his family told the New York Times on Thursday. Coleman’s lengthy improvisational suites inspired the “free jazz” movement of the 1960s, and his 1960 album Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation gave the genre its name. Early in his career, Coleman’s disdain for traditional chords and melody made him a pariah in the mid-century jazz scene, to the point that he was once beaten outside a club in Los Angeles.

Jennifer Lawrence didn’t mean to suggest that she made herstory, okay? Everyone can calm down now. Yesterday, Variety dropped Lawrence’s conversation with Viola Davis for the “Actors on Actors” series. “I remember when I was doing Hunger Games, nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie, because it wouldn’t work, we were told,” Lawrence said during the nearly 45-minute interview. “Girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.

Brooklyn Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back home. Starting Monday night, the ABC late-night host will stage Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the week. I sat with Kimmel on the second floor lounge on Sunday morning as the production crew readied the 2,090-seat Beaux Arts venue for his first show the following day. Kimmel looked every bit the relaxed Brooklyn dad, wearing a brown flannel button-down with jeans, and yes, sporting that sexy beard.
