☆ ‘Sorry’ for Being So Blunt
  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Brenda Cronin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Images: Disney/Shutterstock/Bloomberg News/Getty Images for CAA Composite: Mark KellyWhat a luxury anonymity is. Yes, the fervent hordes clattering around TikTok and reality TV attest that many still prize celebrity, influence and their attendant financial promise. Consider Emily Blunt , a movie star who recently prostrated herself after being savaged online for fat-shaming. Describing a woman who served her at Chili’s as “enormous.” Ms. Blunt unleashed the epithet more than a decade ago on “The Jonathan Ross Show,” a U.K. television program where she was appearing to flog her latest film. Mr. Ross, who like Ms. Blunt is British, was whooping it up with his guest about lavish food portions in the New World, joking that “you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous.” Ms. Blunt joined in with her account of the meal at Chili’s—“the girl that was serving me was enormous”—without specifying which outpost in the nationwide chain she patronized.

David Crosby, the folk-rock singer-songwriter who channeled gifts for creativity and controversy into more than five decades on stage, has died at 81, according to people close to Mr. Crosby. The people close to Mr. Crosby said they were informed Thursday of his death. One of those people said the news of Mr. Crosby’s death came from the musician’s wife’s sister. She couldn’t be reached for comment. Mr. Crosby’s wife and representatives also couldn’t be reached.
☆ ‘Confessions’ Review: More Than the Dust
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Brenda Cronin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The brash young writers who transformed British literature some 40 years ago nourished a tabloid bonanza of parties, passions and swagger. Led by Martin Amis, their ranks included Julian Barnes, Salman Rushdie—and a sedulous outlier named A.N. Andrew Norman Wilson, however, was more likely to be in church or at home writing than on a profile-burnishing bender. That industriousness might portend a dreary memoir, but in “Confessions: A Life of Failed Promises,” Mr. Wilson makes up in wit what he lacks in celebrity antics.
