Of course, they were two men, and of course, they made a YouTube video. “In the video, the two males are seen gaining entry into the building through an unlocked door that gives them access to the set of the National’s production of Follies. They are then seen leaving the London complex the following morning after spending the night sleeping backstage.”

Marcelo Gomes, One Of The World’s Best-Known Ballet Dancers, Has Resigned Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Gomes resigned as a law firm investigation the allegation of behavior from eight years ago. Neither American Ballet Theatre “nor the law firm that was handling the investigation would give further details about the accusation against Mr. Gomes. ‘A.B.T. does not tolerate the alleged behavior,’ [the chairman of the board of trustees] said in his statement. ‘I am profoundly disheartened by this matter,’ he added.”
How To Get A Celeb Autograph: Bring The Correct Marker, And A Lot Of Cash
Back in the day, things were … easier. Now you need a case with the correct – and very rare – blue Vis markers, Post-It notes on the items, and a lot of cash (Mark Hamill – Luke Skywalker, obviously – charges $295, for instance). Or you can buy them from Disney itself. “Yet there is something about the ‘quality, authentic experience’ that is lost when you can order an autograph online or pick one up from a Disney World gift shop.”
Celebrity Book Clubs Are Hokum Writ Large On Instagram
Or they’re both useful AND ridiculous: “I follow the Instagram accounts of all of the book clubs listed … for reading recommendations—and, of course, for their ‘bookish mood posts.’ It’s a colorful and easy way to keep a following; as users browse Instagram on the subway, we’ll scroll across a picture of Witherspoon reading next to the window, in perfect lighting. She just looks like she has a Nature Box subscription and separate moisturizers for morning and evening. Doesn’t that sound lovely?”
The Berkshire Museum’s Planned Sale Obliterates Ethical Boundaries, An Art Critic Says
The planned sale has implications far beyond Pittsfield, Mass., which is why the San Francisco Chronicle‘s art critic is writing about it. “There is a real sense in which these collections belong to all of us. These institutions exist for the benefit of the public, and they subsist through public support, whether directly with government dollars, through tax deductions for their donors, or both. The law can be unclear on the particulars, but there is little doubt that, ethically, museums hold works of significant cultural value in the public trust.”
Thirty-Six Prayer Rugs Against The Travel Ban
The show has work by Ai Weiwei, Mona Hatoum, Hank Willis Thomas and many more, all woven in Lahore and shipped to San Francisco specifically to respond to the president’s ban on travelers from certain countries. “Sanctuary is distinct in its melding of faith-based practices, especially its integration of Muslim and Christian traditions – and in a former military space, at that.”
When ‘Casablanca’ Debuted In Germany In 1952, Warner Bros. Removed All References To Nazis
What even is the movie Casablanca without Nazis, without fighting Nazis, without singing the Marseillaise in front of Nazis? Well … “Resistance fighter Victor Laszlo became a Norwegian atomic physicist, renamed Victor Larsen, who discovers mysterious delta rays and is on the run from Interpol.”
Art And Protest And Censorship, An Unholy Mess That Grew Deeply Tangled In 2017
Carolina Miranda, in a nuanced piece: “The debate that fills me with the greatest ambivalence centers on the frequently posited idea that only certain artists should be allowed to tackle certain subjects … Inequity undoubtedly persists — less than a third of solo shows at major museums in the U.S. go to women. But the nature of the debate on these issues threatens to constrain artists at a time when a multiplicity of voices and subjects is what’s needed.”
How A Woman – Brigid Hughes, Second Editor Of ‘The Paris Review’ – Was Nearly Erased From History
This is quite the unpleasant literary lineage story. According to a former board member of The Paris Review, “As soon as Hughes was named to succeed Plimpton, receiving her Times profile, there were ‘powerful movers and shakers in the literary world, and they exerted influence continuously until they got their way.’ Those voices, the former board member said, were led by the late Bob Silvers, who wanted an ‘NYRB or New Yorker type guy.’ Hughes was in the midst of publishing her first full issue around the time that Silvers-led faction started maneuvering to limit her tenure to a year. Eventually, they pulled enough board members over to their side.”
A Deep Dive On The Culture Of The Comic ‘Dilbert’
Dilbert supposedly depicts work – a kind of Hotel California of work, where you can maybe go home from the office to complain about the office, but you’re coming right back in. But in the last few years … things changed. “The ability to detect irony is increasingly necessary for being alive in America. If you have not by now recognized on your own that the world has been careening through a too-salty first draft of The Onion, there is no helping you. Irony is especially important with Dilbert because the antagonist of Dilbert, at least for the first few decades, was the Pointy-Haired Boss. And there is no other person in the entire public consciousness who is more like the Pointy-Haired Boss than Donald Trump.”
