Elon Backtracks; Walton Goggins’s Nudist Mindset; When Carrie Fisher Bared All

Plus: The Night Bette Davis Threatened a Producer With a Knife

View in browser | Update preferences SUBSCRIBE FOR FULL ACCESS MATTHEW LYNCH, EXECUTIVE EDITOR Surely you did at least one little thing last week you now regret; you're only human. If you're Elon Musk, that one little thing involved a very dramatic and Epstein-file-insinuating break with the most powerful man in America, as the world's richest man made clear in a groveling public display today. Speaking of public displays, President Donald Trump's Flag Day birthday parade is nigh and it comes with a question: Did he steal the idea from the royal family? Elsewhere today, Hadley Hall Meares has an appreciation for the late Carrie Fisher's memoirs; former Justified castmates Walton Goggins and Kaitlyn Dever reconnect; and Wall Street is living in fear of one crazy tweet blowing everything up. Welcome to our shared reality, Wall Street! More tomorrow… Walton Goggins and Kaitlyn Dever Are Out for Revenge BY REBECCA FORD Walton Goggins and Kaitlyn Dever first met when a then 14-year-old Dever joined FX's Justified. The show earned Goggins an Emmy nomination and helped launch his prolific career to new heights, most recently starring in the latest season of The White Lotus. It was Dever's first major role. In our latest installment of VF's Reunited, the former costars reflect on how they've dealt with fear on set, what they've learned from playing characters driven by revenge, and if Walton Goggins really walks around his property nude.

READ MORE A Beautiful Mess Carrie Fisher's Brave Brilliance BY HADLEY HALL MEARES The multitalented Carrie Fisher was many things: an actor appearing in classics like Star Wars and When Harry Met Sally; a beloved guest star on shows including Sex and The City and 30 Rock; and a brilliant writer who was known as the best script doctor in Hollywood. In Fisher's short, snappy memoirs—2008's Wishful Drinking, 2011's Shockaholic, and 2016's The Princess Diarist—the ultimate nepo baby tells the story of her operatic life like she's talking to an old friend, with bracing honesty and zingy one-liners. Fisher recounts her lifelong battle with bipolar disorder and drug addiction (she nicknames her mania "Rollicking Roy" and her depression "Sediment Pam") in humorous and at times heartbreaking detail. "While the place that I've arrived at in my life may not precisely be everyone's idea of heavenly, I could swear sometimes—if I'm quiet enough—I can hear the angels sing. Either that or I've screwed up my medication."
