I would read Anna Peele on just about anyone, anything—the behind-the-scenes drama of Real Housewives, the united state of Meghan and Harry, Emma Heming Willis's journey of caregiving. And her profile of Charli xcx—lowercase x, lowercase c, lowercase x, if you please—is right up there in the must-reads, as Charli talks to Peele about her foray into film stardom, her newlywed bliss, and the reality behind some of her catchiest lyrics.
Elsewhere today, Nate Freeman has the first interview in more than a decade with the ever-elusive artist Richard Prince; Zoë Bernard talks to the MemeCoin traders who are risking everything to retire their "entire bloodline"; Joy Press reports on what Bari Weiss's installment at CBS could mean for movie and TV writers; and Al Pacino reportedly reveals the missed connection that hurts even more right now. More tomorrow… |
Charli xcx is a completist when it comes to seeking out people's opinions about herself, from the gays that die for her to journalists. She wants to know how people discuss her, how critics perceive her, what the newer listeners make of all of this. "It's fascinating to see how people ingest your personality and spit it back out—what people cling on to, what people miss," Charli says. "I'm always interested in, like, what does the casual viewer think? And they probably think I'm a girl who parties and does drugs and is a little bit bitchy." |

The obvious follow-up to Brat would have been to make more music, as Charli had done after her previous five studio albums—especially now that there was the option that, as she says, "You could just do more of that thing because now that's what people see you as. You've solidified this brand that people seem to understand and want to digest very easily." That was not particularly inspiring to Charli. |

Meme House LA is on the frontier of the brave new world of coin-trading that is part Bravolebrity, part Wolf of Wall Street, and all casino. |
As David Simon puts it, "Murrow and Cronkite have both interrupted their peaceful mouldering, and are now revolving at such speeds that never mind the affront to televised journalism—we need to consider the geologic risks to us all." |
For Al Pacino, the late actor Diane Keaton was the one who got away. "I know he will forever regret he didn't make his move when he had the chance," a source said to The Daily Mail. |

As he enters his late 70s, Richard Prince is now the greatest living artist depicting the good, the bad, and the ugly of cultural Americana. Not quite half a century ago, he shocked the art world with brazen acts of appropriation: rephotographing the cowboys in Marlboro cigarette ads and blowing the results up into his own art, modifying the source material. After a career of constantly breaking the rules—and, in the mind of some, the law—Prince's omnivorous eye has become a gold standard for American art.
In recent years he's been somewhat quiet—still showing at galleries and museums around the world, but making few in-person appearances. In this ultrarare late-career interview, he discusses his surprising new work and, for the first time, what will happen to his vast estate after he's gone. |
