It Starts On The Page: Read ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 2 Script “Burial” By Rich Monahan & Liz Phang

From what we've seen in the first few weeks of the reality dancing competition so far, this cohort of celebs is certainly giving it their all. 

Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz has been discussing his band’s updated cover of Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’. He’s explained the thinking behind the post-1989 events that they included, and also those that they didn’t – most notably the COVID pandemic, which, in a song about significant world events from the last 34 years, you might have thought would feature quite prominently.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Wentz said that the idea to update the song had been “brewing for so long”, but until recently he had been trying to convince other artists that they should do it.“I’ve been trying to get somebody to do it for four years”, he explained. “And finally Patrick [Stump, frontman] was like, ‘We should just do it’”.With that decided, then came the task of choosing what to include in the verses.

The wildcats will be taking their final bow this summer.

Like a disastrous first date where there’s still something there (that zsa zsa zsu, perhaps), season two of “And Just Like That…” proves that everyone deserves a second chance. In its first ten episodes, back in 2021 and 2022, the “Sex and the City” reboot was grating and clumsy, full of cringe-inducing dialogue and misguided attempts at relevancy, absent everything that made the original series a must-watch for generations of women.

On the Friday after Tom Wambsgans became the new puppet CEO of the Waystar-Royco media empire, the actor who has spent the past five years essaying the character’s ups, downs, and withering one-liners is propping up the bar of a small boutique hotel in London’s Chelsea. Matthew Macfadyen is nursing a lime tonic and contemplating a rest after several months of hard work on Succession’s blockbusting fourth season. In some other world, one imagines his fictional alter-ego is already discovering the poison in the chalice of the job he has spent a lifetime coveting. Macfadyen, instead, is content simply to think ahead to a quiet family dinner, and to reflect on the adventure of his past half decade.
