Known for her clever lyrics and eccentric music videos, rapper Tierra Whack gets surprisingly vulnerable on her debut album. World Wide Whack is out March 15. Photo: Camila Falquez for New York Magazine World Wide Whack is out March 15. In the video for her new song, “27 Club,” Tierra Whack appears in her customary setup: a surrealist world splattered with bright colors and filled with weird characters. At what seems to be a pep rally from an alternate universe, Whack wears a silver garment that looks like a cross between a choir robe and a clown suit.

This is my last week as head writer of the Onion News Network. The business side at The Onion, you may have heard, has decided to relocate the writers from New York to Chicago where the corporate offices are. Some of the writers are moving; a lot of them are leaving to do other things. (As for me, I’m going to go to work on Andy Daly’s new Comedy Central show.

Nathan Englander. Bookseller One Grand Books has asked celebrities to name the ten titles they’d bring with them to a desert island, and they’ve shared the results with Vulture. Below is author of the forthcoming novel Kaddish.com Nathan Englander’s list. The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol, Nikolai Gogol $18 $18 Simply, “The Nose” is a master class in voice. A man chasing his runaway honker around town trying to talk it back onto his face is, to me, perfection.

Diamond. Iconic older singers do good business with covers and standards these days. There are a few different approaches. Rod Stewart is up to five volumes of his American Songbook series, which does standards (and sells many CDs) the straightforward way. If you’re lucky enough to have heard Paul Anka’s versions of “Jump” and “Eye of the Tiger,” you’ll be familiar with the mildly campy approach.

It takes a while watching On Chesil Beach for it to dawn on you, with horror, that it’s a mystery of sorts. The crime scene is the marriage bed, the weapon is withheld sex, and the suspects parade by in flashback as newlyweds Florence (Saoirse Ronan) and Edward (Billy Howle) prepare for their first night together as man and wife. It’s a bizarre premise with supposedly respectable provenance, based on a novella by Ian McEwan.

Scavengers Reign animates the horror of a sci-fi habitat pushing back against humanity. This story was originally published on November 7, 2023. On May 31, 2024, Scavengers Reign debuted on Netflix. Like a safari from hell, the new Max animated series Scavengers Reign zooms in on nature’s most grotesque biorhythms, vividly imagining what an alien version might look like. Take one seemingly innocuous plant: It pricks and infects a character’s arm before the show jumps into a rendering of its complete life cycle.

Portrait by Jen Mann In the spring of 2012, Oprah Winfrey found herself in what was for her an unusual position: She was failing. OWN, the feel-good cable network she had launched on New Year’s Day 2011, was struggling to find an audience, its low ratings unable to meet even the modest internal targets set before its debut. The smaller-than-expected viewership meant dozens of staffers had to be laid off as Winfrey and her partners at Discovery Communications moved to stanch the flow of red ink.
