Feeling sunburned. We were so excited about Taika Waititi’s film adap of Kazuo Ishiguro’s sci-fi novel, Klara and the Sun. Then, the peppy, colourful trailer dropped, and we deflated a little. But no one expected it to be as bad as it seems to be. The unsettling tale about humanoids and companionship has been reduced to a comedy. One-star reviews all around. Ugh. Just unplug.
Completing the set. Remember when the US boyband Boy Throb was trying desperately to get Indian singer Darshan Magdum to join them abroad as their fourth member? It’s happened! Magdum got a visa this week after a year of trying, and got a Darshan Day welcome at a New Jersey mall. On their first performance as quartet, a fan commented, “Is this what the moon landing felt like? It probably did. Cashing in. Look who’s swimming among the millionaires on Shark Tank: Mindy Kaling. Kelly Kapoor is in her investor phase. She’s supported a probiotic soda brand, a skincare brand and a clinic in the past.

Where will the show go? Is Hannah a suburban mom blogger? Marnie, a failed wellness influencer? Jessa, an ironic tradwife? We’re staying tuned. Getting cheep thrills. We love a pointless hyperfixation. The internet gave us one via Kelly Clarkson’s feud with Brooklyn boutique Art of Play. TL;DR: Molly is totally worth the drama. Hot and bothered. The screen adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing is on the way, with Emilio Sakraya playing Xaden, and Esther McGregor as Violet in the Prime Video series. Romantasy fans are already swooning over Sakraya’s biceps, abs and Instagram thirst traps. We’ve never seen the internet so unanimously approve of a casting choice. Suiting up. The Arkham Asylum graphic novel was creepy, chaotic, Lynchian and loaded with allegory. Batman, trapped in the Gotham madhouse, had to confront his demons while facing off against the Joker, Two-Face, Mad Hatter and Killer Croc. We have questions. We have chills.
The store says Molly was never for sale and that Clarkson’s claims “have put them in danger”.
