The Broadway adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck celebrated its opening night last night (the reviews are mostly good), and because the play stars George Clooney, EVERYONE came out in support. First there was Clooney himself, sporting a truly bad dye job. I know it’s for the play, and it probably looks good from the audience, but whew, it’s rough in photos. We need a name for the moment when a man of a certain age dying his hair doesn’t make him look younger, it just makes him look old. Something like…the dye line, or similar.
Also turning out for Clooney were Jennifer Lopez, who arrived in a fantastic white opera cloak and then removed it to reveal a pretty basic black velvet dress. Ilana Glazer, who co-stars in the play, wore a dress with a similar structural idea around the decolletage, and hers was better.
Clooney’s ER co-star Anthony Edwards turned up with his wife, Mare Winningham. They married in 2021, if you missed it. Another ER alum who showed up was Julianna Margulies, but like…are we excited to see her?
Kylie Minogue and Uma Thurman were there, too, as was Kaia Gerber and her parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford. Pierce Brosnan, Jim Parsons, Jake Tapper, Gayle King, Monica Lewinsky—a lot of people showed up for George Clooney’s Broadway debut. Tickets are running upwards of a thousand dollars a pop, so getting invited to the opening night was probably the most affordable way to see the show.
What else happened today…
The “clean girl” aesthetic is pretty unfriendly to anyone with less than perfect skin. Acne, dark spots, scars, it takes a lot of products to look like you’re not wearing any products if you have any blemishes. When I first heard of it, I thought “clean girl” was a non-toxic thing, and was disappointed to find out it was just repacking cool girl/minimal try branding for a new decade. (Popsugar)
This one is for Emily—here’s Hailee Steinfeld in Jessica Rabbit red. (Go Fug Yourself)
By the time a new James Bond is announced, I think it’ll be someone who has not been widely discussed as a possible Bond (though it should be Dev Patel). That said, Theo James has overtaken the odds as the frontrunner for the next Bond. …I don’t hate it. (Celebitchy)
Will a poisoned smoothie take down Saxon Ratliff on The White Lotus? Maybe! The worst people never get punished on The White Lotus, though, so I doubt it. But as a smoothie drinker myself, Saxon and what he represents makes me laugh-wince. My blender is small and quiet, and smoothies are how I use up fruit I froze during the summer, but I know plenty of bros who are super into meal replacement and “never eating again”, like the enjoyment of nothing is something to be pursued. Honestly, Saxon’s insistence on a smoothie while staying at an inclusive resort with five-star cuisine was one of the earliest and clearest signs that he sucks. Smoothies are a convenience, not cuisine. (Eater)
