FX granted a sophomore season to Legion, the critically-acclaimed television extension of Fox’s X-Men franchise, and hopefully by the time it premieres we’ll finally have figured out what exactly is happening in the first season. Meanwhile HBO re-upped the Judd Apatow-produced Crashing. Maybe the world doesn’t really need another comedy show about the world of comedy, but the Pete Holmes-starring series is charming enough where we’re not complaining. CBS All-Access gave a second season blessing to The Good Fight, which seemed like a foregone conclusion given how much buzz the series has produced (and the big bet CBS has made with its new streaming service). A&E gave the greenlight to more episodes of Leah Remini’s Scientology-ripping docuseries. Speaking of second seasons, Netflix also released the trailer for the sophomore set of Aziz Ansari’s Masters of None yesterday. Yet, somehow, we imagine most of the world spent yesterday thinking about what exactly is going to happen in season two of NBC’s megahit This Is Us, which just wrapped up its first run on Tuesday. | | | | While big sister Kendall is a catwalk queen, Kylie Jenner is basically America’s hottest beauty mogul at this point. Her Kylie Cosmetics brand causes downright frenzies anytime it releases a new product or opens a pop-up shop. Millennial beauty enthusiasts can’t seem to get enough of her “Kyliners” and lip-kits. In fact, it turns out that even people who purchase the products can’t get enough of the product. Literally. According to several customer complaints on Twitter, the beauty brand was sending out “Kylighter” kits with no makeup in them. The mix-up appears to be impacting one particular shade, and the brand is already doing damage control and promising to send customers replacement products. While customer relations was handling the problem, Jenner herself was busy sporting her curves in a Chanel tracksuit all over social media. | | | | | | | What is with the peculiar rise of alt-right art? Apparently not quite content with infiltrating message boards and the edges of mainstream politics, the alt-right movements has shown an odd penchant for trying to either enter, or perhaps just troll the art world as well. A pre-election New York City event entitled “#DaddyWillSave” was kicked out of its original gallery location once landlords realized it would be an explicitly pro-Trump art show. It did however find a home, and was mostly greeted with morbid curiosity and derision (the “artistic” highlight was Yiannopoulos in a bathtub of blood, for some reason). Meanwhile, over in London there was a full-time alt-right art gallery operating for a number of months. Artnet reports that gallery LD50 hosted symposiums on alt-right principles and displayed explicitly racists symbols and imagery as art. A grassroots coalition of neighbors, political opponents and community groups however claimed that the gallery was basically the cover “for one of the most extensive neo-Nazi cultural programs to appear in London in the last decade.” The group’s efforts to pressure the gallery’s landlord to evict the tenants has apparently proven successful. In any event, it’s pretty clear that the alt-right isn’t particularly interested in art itself so much as it is exploiting the supposed freedom of expression the art world promises for its own nefarious means. | | | | | | | | | | | Fashion weeks have basically turned into an Instagram frenzy, but the single most-liked photo related to the just concluded fashion month had very little to do with clothes at all. Indeed, it was this barely-clothed snap Kendall Jenner shared after she had walked her final runway of Paris Fashion Week. “Cool, now i need a vaca,” she wrote. Riveting. | | | | | | | | Blake Griffin, 28 (Memorable Broad City Guest Star) Jhene Aiko, 29 (Buzzy R&B Singer) Lauren Graham, 50 (Forever Gilmore) Isabelle Hupert, 64 (Quite the Dancer) Jerry Lewis, 91 (Beloved By the French) | | | | | | | |
