In “Freedom,” the tenth episode of the 20th season of Project Runway, designer Rami Kashoú makes a dress. In and of itself, this is not remarkable; that is the point of the show, on which Kashoú has appeared many times (including multiple all-stars seasons) and made many dresses. [Read More]

To quote Bethenny Frankel … yeah, it’s bad. Like the hosts achieving self-awareness and rising up in Westworld, the Bravo-lebrities have had enough and they’re fighting back. On August 3, entertainment lawyers Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos sent what “Page Six” calls a “strongly worded letter” to NBCUniversal’s general counsel, Kimberley Harris, accusing the company of “a pattern and practice of grotesque and depraved mistreatment of the reality stars and crew members on whose account its coffers swell.

Carson and Warhol back in the day.Photo: Anton Percih, courtesy of Neke Carson “Page Six” readers may have scratched their heads when they read Monday’s short item announcing that artist Neke Carson’s “Portrait of Andy Warhol” was being shown at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh starting this Friday. Sure, it’s great that this painting is appearing for the first time in 28 years. But what’s the big deal? Carson painted it with a paintbrush sticking out of his butt. [Read More]

This review was originally published on April 11, 2024. At the 77th Tony Awards, The Outsiders won four awards, including Best Musical. Belle wanted much more than this provincial life. Louisa just wanted much more. Jack wished for the wide-open spaces of Santa Fe. Jack’s mother (different Jack) wished a lot of things. Now, Ponyboy Curtis gets to join musical theater’s long list of aspiring, desiring hearts. They’re not all teenagers, but adolescence clearly lends itself to the restless certainty that — as Ponyboy puts it in his take on the “I want” song — “there’s so much more to life / Than what’s in front of me” — and lord knows puberty makes you emotional enough to start wailing, melodically or otherwise.

Rock bands used to be mysterious organizations. Fandom was an exercise in extreme patience. You whiled away the hours in monk-like private study of records, lyrics, and liner notes. A new song or video or interview hit like a scientist’s “eureka” moment, offering a new lens through which to explore familiar worlds more closely. But there were weeks and months where you heard nothing and pure enthusiasm and hope had to suffice. [Read More]

Richard E. Grant. Richard E. Grant scored his first Golden Globe nomination Thursday morning for Can You Ever Forgive Me? As Jack Hock, he becomes the convivial companion to Melissa McCarthy’s lonesome forger. The two zip around New York’s bookstores and rare bookshops out to spread some of Lee Israel’s forgeries of author letters. It’s a winning, energetic performance: Lee isn’t exactly won over by Jack’s rambunctiousness, but he’s awfully hard to leave. [Read More]

Jay-Z and Rick Rubin. As told to Jennifer Vineyard It started with my own punk-rock band. I recorded a single and an EP. I was friends with Ed Bahlman, who ran 99 Records, and he put out like ESG, Bush Tetras, Glenn Branca, Liquid Liquid—just kind of cool, more underground records. He walked me through the process of putting out my own records independently. As my love of hip-hop grew, I felt like it would be fun to make a hip-hop record. [Read More]
