What was Brangelina? @angelicabastien writes vult.re/3N1QNnP
He was the Missouri-raised, laid-back pretty boy who made it out to Hollywood. She was the wild child, and her relationship to the industry was inherited — @angelicabastien writes: vult.re/3N1QNnP

Us, Avatar enjoyers: Something funny? vult.re/3P3mIFn
You, disrespecting Avatar: No. No, no, nothing’s … you know, it’s just that … both those movies look exactly the same to me. Y’know, I’m still learning about this stuff, and …

An afternoon of pleasant negotiation with actor, stealth musician, and Taylor Swift muse Joe Alwyn. Read @rachel_handler's profile vult.re/3sqKAsD
Joe Alwyn currently occupies one of the strangest spaces in the greater celebrity matrix. He’s not yet the sort of movie star your parents would recognize or text you about, nor does he have the box-office draw of a Chalamet or Pattinson, at least not yet 1/

"Sonja in Your City is less 'why' and more 'why not,'" writes Comparative Literature Chair @LouisPeitzman. "If I’m going to spend an hour-plus in a basement among Housewives fans, wondering which one of them is going to give me COVID, I’d rather embrace the mess"

Since we couldn’t delight in a new #Oscars nominee group shot this year, we looked back at 36 years of classics. @zzzzaaaacccchhh writes vult.re/3vfxPjD
For nearly 40 years, the Oscar Nominees Luncheon — the high-profile, endearingly awkward gathering where everyone in attendance poses for a class photo — has been a mainstay of the award season. Prompted by COVID-19 concerns, that streak has been interrupted

"She's still giving us charming saccharine-laced pop, but she’s not the teen who sang about the best day of the week." On @MsRebeccaBlack's reinvention, @scorpiosanchez_ writes vult.re/32DQ0Dv
“Friday’s” role in pop-culture history plays right into the irony that permeates hyperpop: The remix is self-aware in its maximalism, melding perfectly into a new media landscape even more defined by overstimulation, just as the original did with internet culture at the time
We spoke with 33 former assistants and interns of Scott Rudin Productions who worked for him from 1994 to 2020. Here, a portrait of a toxic workplace — one predicated on bullying and physical intimidation vult.re/3dFKYfZ
The portrait of Rudin that emerges from their stories is remarkably consistent: constant verbal berating, sleep deprivation, and an ambient, paralytic fear dedicated to fulfilling the most mundane tasks, like ordering food or binding scripts vult.re/3dFKYfZ
This is @mattzollerseitz, TV critic for @vulture and editor-at-large for @ebertvoices. I’m going to be live-tweeting the Martin Scorsese adaptation of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence starting at 7 PM ET. Spoiler filled analysis available here. vulture.com/_pages/ckk7egy…
On a personal note, this was the first Scorsese movie that I reviewed professionally, for @dallasobserver_ back in 1993 when it first came out. I was living in an apartment near Cityplace. I saw it at the now-defunct UA 8.
The music has yet to stop, but now, at age 48, @Common has carved himself a niche outside of hip-hop as its ambassador. That doesn’t mean he wants to be seen as “safe.” @WEKetchum reports vult.re/3cgdd4L

There’s more to a great SNL political sketch than the combination of mimicry and celebrity image. On the show's take on Joe Biden, @kvanaren writes vult.re/3sE4nmN
Jim Carrey’s Biden was always Jim Carrey. And it failed because the central task of a political impression is to have some idea of who that person is, writes @kvanarenvulture.com/article/snl-jo…

Here, current and former late-night writers reflect on what it was like inside the Trump-joke trenches — and how they see the next administration affecting their jobs. @megh_wright reports vult.re/3p1nDZj
