You and who? This celebrity-fast-food review is coming a week after both the Super Bowl (when the meal launched) and Valentine’s Day (which the meal was ostensibly for), so consider this a belated Presidents’ Day post. Or better yet, let’s say it’s for Lent. Because after eating the Cardi B and Offset Meal, you’ll be ready to give up McDonald’s for 40 days.

Pop, pop, guess who, bitch? It’s Cardi B! She doesn’t give a shit that you’re maybe giving her shit for that strip-club-fight court drama, so here’s her new Press music video to tell y’all how she’s really feeling. She’s making out with hot chicks. She’s going au naturel and leading an army of very naked chicks! Oh, yeah, and, uh, she’s also murdering a bunch of people and winds up in jail?

Sentient mice sewed my dress, so check out the staircase where I took that fall maybe? Whichever wordplay delights you most, the important part is Carly Rae Jepsen will be taking over for Laura Osnes as Broadway’s Cinderella starting February 4.

My first exposure to what would become branded as Blue Collar Comedy was when I was a little kid attending a church talent show in Moundsville, West Virginia. There was a guy who donned a tucked-in flannel and just went up and read a bunch of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck” jokes off of index cards. He killed, and I connected, because those jokes seemed like they were written about the very people I grew up around.
The face behind the voice! For its big ole orgy scene, Eyes Wide Shut needed an American accent. When a masked and befuddled Tom Cruise invites himself to a cloaked free-for-all, a “Mysterious Woman” — played by actress Abigail Good — leads him through the cavernous mansion, and warns him that he’s into some risky business. According to our just-published oral history of the famous scene, Good didn’t have an American accent, but the scene needed one: “Stanley died before the dubbing was done,” Good said.
Max Joseph. Nowadays it seems like everyone is famous. A little famous, anyway. You don’t have to be an actor anymore. Or a singer, a musician, an author, or even a beautiful socialite. There is a whole new diversity of fame sweeping the nation — you can be a YouTube chef, a fashion blogger, an Instagram girl, even a reality-TV-show sidekick … like me. For the last four years, I have appeared in more than 60 episodes of MTV’s Catfish, a doc-reality show about people who fake their identities online.
There’s a scene in Best in Show where Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara’s married characters’ credit cards are declined and they have to spend the night in a hotel’s custodial closet. In Levy and O’Hara’s new show, Schitt’s Creek, they find themselves in similar bind, albeit of the richer, more Canadian variety. Creek, which was co-created by Eugene and his son Dan Levy, who also co-stars, follows a wealthy family who has to upend their lives to a small town after losing all their possessions.
Cecily Strong. Cecily Strong’s new book, This Will All Be Over Soon, isn’t what you expect from a Saturday Night Live cast member’s first memoir. It’s a dispatch from the darkest days of 2020 documenting both the shared anxieties of those early pandemic months, including her partner Jack contracting COVID that March, and her own personal mourning after the loss of her cousin to glioblastoma. Strong isn’t afraid of really sitting in that grief and uncertainty, but the book — which began as a personal diary before turning into a larger project — comes off as oddly hopeful.
Just like it’s almost a good tennis film and almost the mature starring role Zendaya needed. What makes for a great cinematic kiss? The kind of kiss that enraptures an audience because they can feel it in their very bones. The kind of kiss that brings to mind young love long past or the need for something fresh and illicit. A great cinematic kiss is predicated on chemistry and characterization, framing and pacing, but ultimately its success rests on the answer to a single question: Is this the kind of kiss you want to have?
