Whichever side you're on in the war on drugs, it's pretty hard to argue that "pink cocaine" isn't a fairly amazing bit of branding. Accordingly, the mysterious substance has been showing up all over the tabloids as of late. If you've had questions about the narcotic du jour, but have been too afraid to ask, Vanity Fair's Kase Wickman has you covered.
In other feats of marketing: M3GAN, the dancing AI-horror-doll, is back with a sequel and VF's Chris Murphy spoke to star and producer Allison Williams about its camp quotient. Elsewhere, Usha Vance hints at her family's future; critic Richard Lawson argues The Bear season four needs to be sent back; and we have an in-depth guide to Barbara Walters's frenemies list. More tomorrow… |
Who is she? That's the question on everyone's mind when it comes to the drug known as "pink cocaine," which has gotten a bump largely thanks to its celebrity connections, most recently at the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Consider the up-and-coming party drug the Anna Delvey of nose candy. Think "a rose by any other name," says professor of population health at NYU Langone Joseph Palamar, but inside out and about drugs.
VF's Kase Wickman reports on the rich, hazy, and nigh impossible-to-fact-check-with-total-confidence backstory. |

Barbara Walters got comfortable being the only woman in a room. Before pioneering the nightly news magazine—where she'd interview movie stars and murderers with the same level of voracity—she began her career as the first female cohost of Today. In the new Hulu documentary Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything, Walters recounts: "No one would talk to me. There was not a woman on the staff." This was, she adds, "the most painful period in my life."
Ahead, a snapshot of Walters's complicated relationship with some of TV's top female anchors—including her "cold war" rivalry with network colleague Diane Sawyer and how she influenced Oprah Winfrey's decision not to have children. |
