A 2013 performance of Sleep No More. Current and former performers in Sleep No More, the popular immersive staging of Macbeth, described being subjected to and feeling at risk of sexual assault from audience members in a report from BuzzFeed News. Some of the 30 people interviewed claimed that the nonunion Off Broadway production, run by the production company Emursive at the McKittrick Hotel, implicitly encourages patrons, who put on masks throughout the (simulated) sex-and-death-filled performance, to act inappropriately, and doesn’t sufficiently provide protections for performers.

John Cale’s title song, “Paris 1919,” goes, “You’re a ghost, la la, la,” which is not an inappropriate chorus for a career waged stridently just below the radar of commercial acceptance. “Call me a ghost, if you like, perhaps living, perhaps dead,” Cale exhaled with bardish weariness in a small dressing room at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, as if the sub-rosa nature of his celebrity was, if not completely according to plan, at least a fine outcome for a man so resolutely outside the swim of what the world’s lemmings wanted.

Tall boy. Being a Saturday Night Live host/musical guest is still one of the most important gauntlets a celebrity can run. Do well, and your sketches will be posted on TikTok alongside videos of people making slime for eternity. Do poorly, and you’re Ashlee Simpson, also posted on TikTok for eternity.

Logan Roy is the head of a massive media conglomerate called Waystar RoyCo that definitely isn’t a stand-in for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, no sir. When Logan suffers a stroke, his four children — Kendall, Roman, Siobhan, and to a lesser extent Connor — all compete to see who has what it takes to sit in daddy’s business throne. Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, and J.

R. Kelly Surviving R. Kelly, the revelatory Lifetime documentary series that has illuminated the star’s myriad horrific sex crimes, grooming, and child abuse, detailed new allegations about the end of Kelly’s unlawful marriage to the then-teenage Aaliyah. According to multiple sources in the docuseries, Aaliyah’s family agreed to an NDA after the annulment with one source saying the family promised not to press charges if Kelly sold the family the rights to his first three albums.

Brooklyn-based comic Max Silvestri has been in the business for a decade now. His free weekly standup show Big Terrific, a New York comedy scene staple that he started with friends Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate, celebrated its fifth anniversary this past March. Since Liedman and Slate moved to LA, Silvestri’s been running Big Terrific on his own, and in addition to his weekly hosting gig, he’s writing reality cooking show recaps for Grantland and Eater, appearing in web videos all over the place, and keeping busy as a standup, all the while maintaining a consistently very funny Twitter presence.

His illustrations would take modern concepts and propel them, with scientific and aesthetic consideration, into the far reaches of the 21st century. Inevitably, filmmakers tapped Mead to mix his artistry with live-action science fiction.

From mass-market candy to high literature. The 50th-anniversary reissue of Valley of the Dolls has prompted a flood of celebrations of Jacqueline Susann’s supposedly disposable chronicle of pill-popping. One reason for that novel’s enduring popularity? Its status as an all-time-great Beach Read. That’s a slippery category, but the formula is pretty straightforward. Whether mass-market candy or high literature, a beach read needs narrative momentum, a transporting sense of place, and, ideally, a touch of the sordid.
