18 Years Later, Everyone’s Extremely Hot for Jude Law in The Holiday Again
Search “Jude Law The Holiday” on the app and you’ll find women dubbing December “Jude Law flirting season.” There are edits of his scenes—his stolen glances, his blush-inducing smile—soundtracked by Lana Del Rey.

I Want What They Have: RHONY’s Racquel Chevremont and Mel Corpus
As much as I love watching wealthy women fight over inane things, I have to admit that I was a little tapped out on RHONY drama by the end of last season—which is what made the additon of two new cast members this season so exciting. “Friend of the Housewives” Rebecca Minkoff is an entertaining presence, if only because I’d love to figure out what makes a Jewish-slash-Scientologist accessories designer tick (fun fact: I once tried to assign a story on Minkoff’s then-little-known Scientology while working as an editor at a now-defunct fashion and art magazine, but was told that our parent company’s lawyers wouldn’t be able to shield the freelance writer from possible legal action if it ran), but the new RHONY addition who has genuinely stolen my heart is one Ms. Racquel Chevremont: curator, art collector, former model, mother of two, and culturally significant lesbian.
Justice for the Women of Love Actually

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm story of the same name, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves famously became the first-ever animated film to hit theaters when it premiered in 1937, going on to influence directors ranging from Orson Welles to Federico Fellini. As New York Times critic Frank S. Nugent tellingly wrote in his ’30s review, “If you miss it, you’ll be missing the 10 best pictures of 1938.” Walt Disney’s take on the 19th-century German fairytale ultimately became the highest-grossing film ever at that point—cementing his status as a Hollywood power-player in the process.
25 New Year’s Eve Movies to Watch Before the Ball Drops
In this film about a mid-century fashion designer (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his muse (Vicky Krieps), a stunning mauve dress, a melancholy rendition of “Auld Lang Syne,” and Day-Lewis searching a ballroom full of costumed revelers for Krieps make for a New Year’s Eve you won’t soon forget.
Timothée Chalamet’s Unhinged A Complete Unknown Press Tour Is Actually Genius
It started with an amusing cameo at his very own lookalike contest, a New York event that started a global pop culture phenomenon. The contest garnered so much attention that one Timothée hopeful ended up arrested, and the gathering was shut down by police. Chalamet’s impromptu appearance was lauded as “the funniest thing he could possibly have done,” and let’s be real: it was.
