As the Mean Girls musical lands in cinemas, Ariana Grande’s gossip-defying comeback single reminds me a little of a classic line in the original. It’s the school Christmas talent show and lovable misfit Damian is singing a rendition of Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful, right down to including the first beat from the music video: “Don’t look at me!” he admonishes the crowd – then brings the house down. That possibly contradictory push-and-pull of hating attention but also craving it drives the housey Yes, And? as Grande…

Tesla began customer deliveries of the Cybertruck on Thursday, bringing to fruition an Elon Musk passion project that the billionaire boasts is stronger than bullets and faster than a Porsche."It's very rare that a product comes along that is seemingly impossible... that experts said would never be made," a giddy Musk told a crowd at Tesla's Austin, Texas headquarters. "And this is one of those times." The arrival of the angular truck, which has evoked the world of "Blade Runner" or "Mad Max," comes two years later than…

In a controversial New York Times profile published Sunday, writer Amy Chozick briefly addresses Elizabeth Holmes’ choice to twice get pregnant — the first time after the Theranos founder was indicted in “one of the most notorious fraud cases in recent history,” and the second time after she was found guilty on four counts of swindling investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars and faced the possibility of going away to prison for many years. Holmes chalks up her curious family planning choices to “just bad timing,”…

Electric skateboard startup Defiant Board Society has just launched a new high power electric skateboard known as the Defiant: One. But the new company isn’t just about building fast board; rather, they want to bring e-skating back to its non-powered cultural roots. But how do you capture the essence of skate culture for a product that has blown so far past it? Electric skateboards these days are more about transportation than after school slacking. They’ve proven to be a massively popular…

Whatever else has happened, or will happen, in the vividly eventful career of movie star Alec Baldwin, his name is destined to be linked with that of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, whom he tragically shot dead on a movie set in New Mexico in 2021.

Film of the event is online, and there is something wonderful about seeing the pair, originals both, laughing in their academic gowns, so unalike in many respects but both so intently focused on their work, and on their keen apprehension of the binds and double-binds in which women have found…

Adrian Sibley’s documentary now gets a touring theatrical release in the UK and the Republic of Ireland: a revised and recut version differing from the original version shown at the Venice film festival, about which I had some reservations.Revisiting this film is in fact no great hardship for me: it was a pleasure to be reminded of Harris’s great performances in movies such as This Sporting Life and The Field, and his extraordinary (and extraordinarily successful) detour into chanson-style pop singing in the late 60s. But…
