  + stars: | 2023-04-03 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In the hit sitcom “New Girl,” Zooey Deschanel plays a quirky teacher living in a loft full of guys. A millennial “Friends” of sorts, the show wrapped on Fox in 2018 and got a streaming boost from Netflix . By the constant flow of social-media memes—TikTok videos about her character Jess Day’s “twee core” style; jokes on Twitter about her roommates Nick, Schmidt and Winston—one could easily mistake it for an ongoing series. Would she ever reprise her role as Jess?

Deborah Pagani, a fine-jewelry and hair-accessories designer in Manhattan, says that before her 14-year-old’s friends sleep over, their parents often ask the same laundry list of questions: Do she and her husband smoke? (No, no and, well, no—but their two dogs go ballistic if anyone moves around the apartment at night, limiting the ability of underage guests to snoop around.) “I’ve had parents ask me if we have a water filter, which we do,” Ms. Pagani adds. “Can you imagine in the ’90s if a parent called up and was like, I just want to make sure you guys have a water filter. What type of water are the kids drinking, and is there going to be gluten?”

The name Guy Fieri has become synonymous with America’s beloved roadside eateries, where regional comforts are served up on sizzling griddles. On “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” the Emmy-nominated host and restaurateur has established himself as a greasy-spoon connoisseur with a wardrobe full of bowling shirts and a crown of frosted tips. That signature look wasn’t exactly his choice, Mr. Fieri, 55, says.

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ debuted 20 years ago. Earlier this year, Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the 20th anniversary of his late-night talk show by having three of the guests who appeared on the very first episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live return: George Clooney, Snoop Dogg and Coldplay. There was one aspect of that 2003 taping, though, that Kimmel, 55, and his team definitely did not want to replicate. “Someone in the third row vomited right in the middle of the show,” says the comedian and host. “It’s funny because we’ve always assumed she was drunk, but I recently watched a tape of the first show and I’m not so sure.

  + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Celebrity haircuts aren’t typically breaking news, but then again most celebrities aren’t Shawn Mendes. Since his days of uploading pop covers to YouTube and Vine in the 2010s, he has become a global sensation, with four No. 1 spots on the Billboard 200 chart, three Grammy nominations and 71 million followers on Instagram. So when the musician debuted a closely cropped ’do in January, his fans wondered: What happened to his flowing curls?

  + stars: | 2023-02-13 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
By his own account, John Legend isn’t living a rock star life right now. Last month, he and his wife, model and chef Chrissy Teigen, welcomed a new baby, Esti Maxine Stephens, so he’s been going to bed and waking up earlier than usual. After bringing Esti home last month, Ms. Teigen posted an Instagram of the couple’s two older children, Luna, 6, and Miles, 4, holding their newborn sister. Was Mr. Legend really shedding “nightly tears of joy,” as his wife wrote in her caption? “It was making me emotional the first two nights we were home because I just felt the love expand in the house, and I felt the excitement,” the 44-year-old musician said.
☆ Buffalo Bills’ Stefon Diggs on Damar Hamlin and Leading the Bills Through a Trying Season
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Stefon Diggs is looking forward to cooling down during the NFL’s off season—and seeking some thrills. “They’ve got this thing in Vegas where you can jump off a building and land on your feet, so I’m probably about to do that,” said Diggs, 29, a starting receiver for the Buffalo Bills. The season, which ended with a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs, was an unusually trying one for the Bills. On Jan. 2, safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle and suffering cardiac arrest. As a team captain, Diggs had to lead his teammates through many days of fear and uncertainty.
☆ ‘De-Influencers’ Want You to Think Twice Before Buying That Mascara
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Sara Ashley O'Brien | Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
After years of influencers pushing cosmetics, clothes, personal tech and supplements to the masses, a rising cohort is taking a different tack: telling people what not to buy. They’re calling it “de-influencing.”The term is being popularized in videos by people whose experience runs the gamut: disappointed consumers, savvy beauty bloggers, doctors dispelling skin-care myths and former retail employees dishing on which products they saw returned most often. Their shared guidance is a rejoinder to a seemingly endless stream of recommendations and promotional content on the platform—and a sign of growing backlash to overconsumption. TikTok videos under the hashtag #deinfluencing have surpassed 68 million views.

  + stars: | 2023-01-30 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Being a morning person comes so naturally to Gigi Hadid that a couple of years ago, she stopped drinking coffee at the same time she became a mom. She has also eschewed a traditional alarm clock for a human one, in the form of her 2-year-old daughter, Khai. “Whatever time she’s waking up, I’m waking up,” says Hadid (usually between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.). Hadid has walked countless runways, appeared on over 30 covers of Vogue worldwide and starred in campaigns for fashion houses including Fendi, Valentino and Versace. These days, she lives between New York and her farmhouse in Pennsylvania and also runs her own brand, the cashmere label Guest in Residence, which she launched in 2022.

Fur has long been known to ruffle fashion critics’ feathers. But as couture week began Monday in Paris, it was a group of fake animal heads that got people up in arms. A lion’s face leapt off the front of Irina Shayk’s black velvet dress. The head of a wolf sat on the shoulder of Naomi Campbell’s faux-fur coat. Kylie Jenner, seated front row at the show, also wore a lion head fastened to her dress.

Darren Star is one of TV’s greatest romantics. From “Sex and the City” to “Emily in Paris,” the showmaker’s signatures include love triangles, lavish parties, grand gestures and, of course, over-the-top outfits. While filming the third season of his Netflix comedy starring Lily Collins, which is now streaming, he found plenty of opportunities to feel the magic himself—such as shooting a scene at the top of the Eiffel Tower late at night. “You can’t get up there until after 1 a.m. to film,” says Mr. Star, 61. “When you write things, it’s sort of a dream of what you’d like things to be, and in this case, what we dreamed, we were able to get on the screen.”

We’re just sitting there waiting for it to rain.”
☆ From Elon Musk to Drake, Celebrity Nightstand Photos Are Causing a Stir
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( Lane Florsheim | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
After Elon Musk shared a photo of his bedside table on Twitter, online observers had many questions about the cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke atop it. Twitter and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk stoked plenty of armchair analysis in that vein on Monday, when he tweeted a picture of his bedside table’s contents. Why, some wondered on Twitter, did Mr. Musk have four open cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke next to his pillow? (Observers said they looked like non-firing replicas—one of Washington’s own, the other from the videogame “Deus Ex: Human Revolution”—though Mr. Musk has not corroborated their observations.) The internet was quick to quip about the chaotic display and the “divorced energy” the items evoked.

When “Twilight” heartthrob Taylor Lautner got married on Nov. 11, he and his wife took the concept of two becoming one a step further than most: In addition to their legal union, Mr. Lautner and the registered nurse formerly known as Taylor Dome also unified their names. “We’re literally going to be the same person,” the actor said in an interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” ahead of the wedding. “How narcissistic.” After the ceremony, he posted a photo gallery on Instagram with the caption “Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Lautner.”

Nine years ago, Emily Hikade was flying to meet with an agent affiliated with a known terrorist group for her job as a case officer at the CIA. Suddenly, the single-prop plane hit a storm. The plane started spinning sideways, careening toward the water. “All I can see is the faces of my kids,” says Ms. Hikade, a 45-year-old mother of four sons. “My youngest wasn’t even a year old and I thought, they’re going to grow up without a mom.”

Part of the reason she’s compiling her prose is to take control of her story. “The way I look at work is: Let’s say I lost all my memories, I can always look back at these things, and they exist,” she says, referring to the multitudinous shoots she’s done since breaking into the industry in 2015. “I want to be the arbiter of those things.”

The playwright and actor has different breakfast routines depending on whether he wakes up feeling heavy or light; sometimes this means starting the day with an iced Americano. One of Jeremy O. Harris’s favorite parts of his home is something most New Yorkers loathe discovering during an apartment tour: a window that looks directly onto the side of the building next door. Harris, 33, has one in his office, a cozy, wood-walled space designed by Green River Project and filled with the playwright and actor’s mementos, including framed program covers from his debut major stage production, Slave Play. He loves the feeling of not knowing what time it is that comes from the lack of light—especially because he gets his best work done starting at 2:30 a.m. “I can be in any universe I want to be in,” he says. After working through the night, he’ll sleep in until noon or 1 p.m., if he doesn’t have a Zoom meeting with Tokyo or London.

Steve Nash played 18 seasons in the NBA, including eight as an All-Star and winning two MVP awards, before becoming the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Now, two years into the role, he’s learned that leading a team to success requires empathy. “You can talk X’s and O’s, you can talk about culture, you can talk about training methods, but the No. 1 thing is to connect with the person and give them all the things human beings want—hope, support, challenges,” Nash, 48, says.
