Simone Rocha’s spunky fall collection toyed with high school stereotypes: jocks, nerds, tomboys, rebels and emos.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Backstage, the Irish designer said she slotted in with the emos, indulging herself for the fashion show with a “teenage angst playlist.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Thom Yorke’s wailing added a yearning melancholy to the display as an all-ages, coed cast whisked through the grandeur of Goldsmiths’ Hall like they were late for class.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Some models hugged tortoise figurines; others wrapped or draped themselves with fuzzy stoles shaped like extra-long, boneless hares. Rocha said “Aesop’s Fable” was a favorite of her headmistress, and nostalgia for her school years fed her seasonal narrative.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
The fluffy rabbit companions served as a tender foil to the tougher elements woven through the collection — belts as rugged as bike chain locks, S&M-esque harnesses, and a terrific elaboration of biker jackets as puff-sleeve dresses, waist-cinched skirt suit or military greatcoat.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Many guests at the show dolled themselves up in recent Rocha collections, which can skew costume-y at times. Some outfits brought to mind magistrates, ballerinas or Victorian damsels.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Her fall collection hinged on more relatable clothing archetypes, all given that inimitable romantic Rocha touch: jeans jackets and perfectos with ballooning sleeves; Neoprene hoodies and duffel coats studded with jet-bead embroideries, and rugby shirts iced with ruffles and dense pearl beading.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Carwash skirts — somehow synonymous with seminal Miuccia Prada — recurred in sparkly tweeds, faux fur and gossamer organza, heightening the glamor and sensuality of many looks.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Suppressing her brooding emo urges, Rocha also paraded some of her most unapologetically pretty dresses in years, lacing pink, baby blue or black ribbons through intricate brocades, and letting yet more ribbons stream from shoulders.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Imagine how chic a high school reunion would be dressed by her.</p>

<strong>SPOILER ALERT:</strong> <em>This post contains spoilers from “The Killing Season,” the Season 2 premiere of “<a href="https://variety.com/t/1923/" id="auto-tag_1923" data-tag="1923">1923</a>,” now streaming on Paramount+.</em></p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Anyone who steps foot on the Dutton clan’s front porch better have a good reason for being there. If they don’t, they are bound to be greeted by the barrel of a shotgun.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
That’s how things played out at the end of Season 1 of Paramount+’s “1923,” when Cara (<a href="https://variety.com/t/helen-mirren/" id="auto-tag_helen-mirren" data-tag="helen-mirren">Helen Mirren</a>) and Jacob Dutton (<a href="https://variety.com/t/harrison-ford/" id="auto-tag_harrison-ford" data-tag="harrison-ford">Harrison Ford</a>) finally came face to face with Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton), the merciless businessman trying to steal the Yellowstone ranch away from them. Back then, Cara managed to calm the locked-and-loaded standoff between the men — but at the end of this week’s Season 2 premiere, it’s she who is pulling the trigger on another unexpected guest. Her target: a hungry mountain lion preying on her quasi-daughter-in-law, Liz (Michelle Randolph). </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
While the intruder wasn’t a former James Bond this time, the predator at her door is a sign of what’s to come in Season 2 of the “Yellowstone” prequel. The Duttons are facing their harshest winter ever: Not only are they being drained of money and resources as they try to stave off Whitfield’s hostile takeover, but they have been forced to sell most of their herd and are living off what they can hunt themselves.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Wielding a gun in that environment was an absolute necessity for survival,” Mirren tells <em>Variety</em>. “And we have a situation in this season where the Duttons are basically dying of starvation and everyone around them, humans and wild animals, are all after the same resources. They are fighting nature, as well as mankind. It is just a question of survival.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
The faceoff between Cara and the lion is an unmistakable callback to the series premiere, which opened with Cara gunning down a man in what initially appeared to be a callous act of violence (but is later revealed to be retribution for an assassination attempt on her family). Then, Cara’s killshot was followed by her screams of agony at her dire circumstances. But that strife has hardened her, and the woman holding the gun this time is more stoic about her kill.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“It is something she has just had to get used to (by Season 2),” Mirren says.</p>
<div class="post-content-image // size-large alignnone">
<figure class="o-figure lrv-u-font-family-secondary u-color-medium-grey lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-light-grey-tint-two u-margin-b-150 lrv-u-max-width-100p" style="width:1024px">

<cite class="u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xxs">Trae Patton/Paramount+</cite></p>
</figcaption></figure>
</div>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Another bit of irony underscoring the moment is the fact that Cara’s and Jacob’s nephew Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) — whom they are counting on to come and save the Yellowstone — has spent years in Africa as a big game hunter. It’s a talent that clearly runs in the family. But subduing the mountain lion on her stoop is only the beginning of what Cara and the Duttons face on the homefront this season, as the premiere closes with a chorus of wolves howling at an uncomfortably close distance. Whitfield isn’t the only one who recognizes the family’s weaknesses. The wilderness is also stalking the beleaguered Duttons like a limpy gazelle ripe for the picking.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“The challenges of nature are matched by the challenges coming from mankind,” Ford adds. “Those pressures are intense and intensifying on the Duttons this season. The lives that these people are living are tenuous. It is something we don’t grasp in our contemporary lives. The details of how much rougher and more difficult these lives were only a hundred years ago.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Jacob isn’t home when Cara squares off with the big cat on the front porch. He’s in Bozeman to support his loyal ranch foreman Zane (Brian Geraghty), who was brutally beaten by police last season as his Asian American wife Alice (Joy Osmanski) was arrested for violating Montana’s anti-miscegenation law — one of the many cruel tactics Whitfield deployed to weaken the Duttons. Between the hard winter, the grim reality facing his allies and the pressures of the bank threatening to hand his land to his enemies, Jacob has the world bearing down on him in Season 2. There’s a fight ahead, and Jacob’s hesitancy to accept the changing times likely won’t be his ally in it.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Jacob is still on a horse,” Ford says. “He is still living that life, he’s protecting that life. He does not know the life that comes from electricity and from telephones in your house and all these conveniences that look like conveniences at first. Then, as we discover, when technology comes into our lives, it changes our lives. But not always for the better.” </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Nevertheless, there is a fleeting moment that suggests Jacob might be open to answering the call of one harbinger of the future — a landline phone. Before he leaves home in the premiere, Cara makes the case that she would have more peace of mind if he could call her when he makes it safely to town, rather than her worrying from the moment he leaves to the moment he returns. In Bozeman, he dismissively passes a new phone booth while also admitting there is someone he would like to call. Could audiences see Cara’s wish granted and the Yellowstone get its first telephone by season’s end?</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Ford playfully dodges that question, noting that accepting such technology is a slippery slope. “He doesn’t realize that if does get a phone, he’ll eventually end up taking selfies with it,” Ford quips.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
While the future is certainly a stressor on the old ways that the Duttons are holding onto for dear life, there’s no denying their biggest threat is Whitfield’s worsening attacks. Audiences know his moral well long ago ran dry, as evidenced by the two sex workers he has been holding captive. In the season premiere, it is revealed that one of them, Lindy (Madison Elise Rogers), has assumed the role of lover and trainee in the ways of his sadistic punishment fetish. The other woman, covered in lashes from a belt, is being held in the closet until the couple want to play out their twisted power dynamic.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Both Ford and Mirren warn that Whitfield’s endless means and lack of morality will continue to bring a different kind of beast to the Duttons’ doorstep.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“The scale of his influence, the bizarre construction of his mind, from what we have seen of his personality, makes him an exceptionally powerful villain,” Ford says. “A villain is one who has no moral compunction, whatsoever, and that is always the most dangerous animal.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
For Mirren, the cunning and cruelty of Whitfield is a timely example of power corrupting absolutely.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Harrison is absolutely right,” she says. “It’s the lack of conscience or moral code, combined with energy and intelligence and ambition. It is absolutely lethal. It’s brutal, and there are people like that abroad right now in positions of power.”</p>

<p>A 21-year-old solo traveler lost her S$921 camera after asking a stranger to assist her in taking a picture at Fort Canning.</p>
<p>The Chinese student, who identified herself as Ms. Lee, told Shin Min Daily News that the woman left without returning her camera. The incident happened on Thursday, February 20, at approximately 12:45 pm, when Ms. Lee went to the Fort Canning Tree Tunnel, a well-known location for clicking pictures that was even included in a Coldplay music video.</p>
<p>The location was quite crowded, so she waited in line and struck up a conversation with a woman in a straw hat and white dress behind her.</p>
<h3>Challenging for police to track the woman</h3>
<p>When it was her turn to click photo, she gave her phone to the woman and a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera and asked her to help her in taking a picture. After clicking the photos, the woman gave the phone back to Ms. Lee and asked her to review them.</p>
<p>According to the Chinese student, it took her no more than three minutes to go downstairs and look at her pictures. But all of a sudden, she realized that the woman who had vanished still had her camera. Though Ms. Lee searched the entire park, she was unable to trace her.</p>
<p>After receiving a call from Ms. Lee, the police looked through local CCTV footage and discovered that the woman was traveling with a middle-aged guy. However, it was challenging to track them down because the Tree Tunnel lacks CCTV cameras.</p>
<p>Shin Min was informed by the police that they had received the report and were looking into the matter.</p>
<h3>Precious memories in camera</h3>
<p>Ms. Lee, a native of Shenyang in Liaoning province, claimed to have paid 5,000 Chinese yuan (S$921) for the camera just four months ago. She was “heartbroken” by the loss because it was quite expensive for a student.</p>
<p>Customer care informed her that even after being reported lost, the camera can still be utilized because it lacks a global locating system. Ms. Lee noted that the woman might have called customer service or the police if she had wished to return it.</p>
<p>In addition to the camera itself, Ms. Lee said that the images within held “precious memories”. She added that they included unsupported photos from months ago as well as pictures from her recent vacation in Singapore.</p>
<p>She is therefore prepared to provide the couple with 4,000 yuan (S$737) in exchange for returning the camera. On Saturday, February 22, she left Singapore at midday with the intention to get it back by then.</p>

<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Ken Rosenthal, who opened a bakery cafe in the St. Louis area, with sourdough bread as its star, and built it into a small chain that would become Panera Bread, died on Feb. 14 at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 81.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">His wife, Linda<span class="css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0"> </span>Rosenthal, said the cause was Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Rosenthal had no interest in running a retail bakery in the mid-1980s, when he and his wife owned a women’s apparel store called Kenlyn’s in Chesterfield, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“I was a person who never went into a kitchen, much less understood how to bake anything,” he told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1997.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">But his brother, Don, told him about a business he should consider getting into: a sourdough bakery cafe like <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.leboulanger.com/our-history" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Le Boulanger,</a> which he had visited in San Francisco. After resisting for months, Mr. Rosenthal also visited the bakery.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-1">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Impressed by what he saw, he asked the owner, Roger Brunello, to teach him the secrets of sourdough. Over the next year, he trained with Mr. Brunello, and in October 1987 he opened the first Saint Louis Bread Company outlet in Kirkwood, a St. Louis suburb, with a menu featuring 10 types of bread (including sourdough in various shapes), a variety of croissants, danishes and muffins and some sandwiches.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Roger helped him open the store and I said, ‘Roger, are you sure he knows how to bake?’” Ms. Rosenthal, who is known as Laya, recalled with a laugh in an interview.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-2">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">She and her husband took the leap in part because competition from larger apparel stores was making their jobs more difficult.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“We had nothing to lose,” she said. “We gambled everything.” They sold Kenlyn’s shortly after opening the Saint Louis Bread Company, which became known locally as “Bread Co.”</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-3">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0"><a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNq-4C1aQY" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Interviewed by a local television station</a> six months after the opening, Mr. Rosenthal noted that the new business required him to awaken daily at 2 a.m.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“You have to change your life, you have to change the things that you do; I know people don’t call me after a certain hour,” he said. “You have to take naps once in a while. But I’ve enjoyed it.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He added, “Creating sourdough bread, for instance, is a slow, tedious process, and it’s difficult for a large commercial bakery to create that type of a product.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Kenneth Jay Rosenthal was born on April 11, 1943, in St. Louis, to Herman Rosenthal, who owned a women’s apparel store, and Adis (Eckert) Rosenthal, a pattern maker. He graduated from University High School in St. Louis, attended community college and followed his father’s path in 1963 by becoming a women’s clothing salesman.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He married Linda Kramer in 1969.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He bought Karstev’s, a women’s clothing store in St. Charles, Mo., in 1970, and later brought in a partner, with whom he opened a second Karstev’s in 1975 in Chesterfield. In 1980, he and the partner split up; his partner took the St. Charles store, and Mr. Rosenthal and his wife took the second one and changed its name to Kenlyn’s.</p>

<div data-testid="companionColumn-4">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Rosenthal’s detour from women’s dresses to baked goods<span class="css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0"> </span>proved a smart one. From 1987 to 1993, he and his three partners (who joined him at different times) expanded the first cafe into a chain of 20 stores in Missouri and Atlanta.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-5">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">After Mr. Rosenthal’s death, one of his partners, Doron Berger, told The Denver Post: “What we were doing at the time in St. Louis, there was no competition. That was part of the genius of Ken, because everyone tried to talk him out of doing it before he opened the first location, but nevertheless he pursued it.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In November 1993, the publicly owned Au Bon Pain acquired the Saint Louis Bread Company for $24 million. At the time, Au Bon Pain had 172 bakery cafes nationwide, and the Saint Louis Bread Company had $14.6 million in revenues in the 10 months before the sale.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“It was the right time to sell,” Mr. Rosenthal told The Post-Dispatch. “We had brought the company to a 20-store organization, we needed outside financing, and we wanted to be able to make the concept a bigger entity.”</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-6">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In 1995, under Au Bon Pain’s ownership, there were 59 Saint Louis Bread Company bakery cafes; in 1997, when Au Bon Pain changed the company’s name (except in the St. Louis market) to Panera Bread, it had franchise deals for more than 200 outlets.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-7">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In 1998, Au Bon Pain agreed to sell its namesake restaurants and change its corporate name to Panera Bread.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0"><a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/05/business/dealbook/panera-bread-jab-.html" title="">In 2017, Panera was sold to JAB Holding</a>, a privately owned European company, for $7.5 billion, more than 300 times what Mr. Rosenthal and his partners had been paid. <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/08/business/panera-au-bon-pain.html" title="">Later that year, JAB bought Au Bon Pain</a>, reuniting it with Panera.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0"><a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/cafe/locations" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Panera currently has 2,230 restaurants</a> in the United States, making it the second-largest chain in the fast-casual restaurant category (after Chipotle Mexican Grill), <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/operations/10-largest-fast-casual-restaurant-chains-sales" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Restaurant Business magazine</a>.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-8">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Rosenthal stayed with Au Bon Pain for a while, then became a Panera franchisee in 1997. His company, Breads of the World, owned nearly 100 Panera restaurants in Ohio and Colorado, where he moved in 2002. He has lived full-time in Scottsdale since 2019, a year after selling the last of the Breads of the World restaurants a year before.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“To have sold the company and come back as a franchisee — he loved it,” said Craig Flom, his son-in-law and a longtime Breads of the World executive.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In addition to his wife and his brother, Mr. Rosenthal is survived by two daughters, Carlye Flom and Kari Rosenthal; two sons, Eric and Scott; and 13 grandchildren.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Rosenthal explained his operating style when he talked to The Post-Dispatch in 1997.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“I’ve always been best when I’m completely challenged,” he said. “When things get to be routine with me, I suppose I lose a little interest.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“I’m not a great operator. I’m a better pioneer than I am anything else.”</p>

<div itemprop="articleBody" id="v_main">

<p>Tan Cheng Bock, the founder of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), has declared his intention to run in the next general election.</p>
<p>When asked the question by members of the media on Sunday, February 23, the 84-year-old political veteran said, “As long as I am able and I’m still relevant, I will be around… you all will see me there.”</p>
<p>While responding to the question regarding his presence at the nomination center on nomination day, Dr Tan said, “That’s a natural conclusion, right?”</p>
<h3>“Country needs people…”</h3>
<p>He continued, “I think so long as I am relevant, and I think the country needs people, and I feel that I can contribute to the country, I cannot shirk that duty.”</p>
<p>When questioned about his health, Dr Tan replied, “Look at me, I can still talk to you, I can still answer questions,” adding, “Every year I go for my medical (and) my last medical was ok.”</p>
<p>He was in charge of a group of roughly 20 PSP volunteers and members who were conducting a walkabout at the Clementi 448 Market and Food Centre in Jurong GRC.</p>
<p>Leong Mun Wai, a non-constitutional member of parliament, and Hazel Poa, the party’s secretary general, were among the group.</p>
<h3>Redrawing of electoral boundaries necessary</h3>
<p>Dr. Tan responded that West Coast is “too big” and that a potential redrawing of the electoral boundaries may be necessary when asked why the party was moving around in Jurong GRC instead of West Coast GRC, which they had run in the previous General Election.</p>
<p>He said, “We have so many neighbours, we do not know what’s going to happen after the redrawing.” He also stated, “We could be part of them, and they could be part of us.”</p>
<p>From 1980 until 2006, Dr. Tan represented Ayer Rajah SMC in Parliament under the People’s Action Party (PAP), which was subsequently merged into West Coast GRC.</p>
<p>In the 2020 General Election, he led his team to run against West Coast GRC, receiving 48.32% of the vote and falling just short of the PAP team.</p>
<p>Dr. Tan was joined by several former PSP candidates from the previous election, including Lim Cher Hong of the Pioneer SMC team, Jeffrey Khoo of the West Coast GRC team, and Harish Pillay of the Tanjong Pagar GRC team.</p>
<p>As Dr. Tan shook hands at the food center, a newcomer, Stephanie Tan, 36, was also seen standing next to him. According to PSP’s newsletter The Palm, she has graduated from the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Law and is a full-time housewife with two small children.</p>
<p>When Dr. Tam was asked if she would be a candidate, he said: “Are you asking me my secret? I’m not telling you; you will see it on nomination day.” The party veteran added that the party’s philosophy is to give chance to “new people”, because “our country (has) got to be run by new people”.</p>
<h3>Change is inevitable</h3>
<p>“They will be the ones who craft all the policies for the future … The day we are afraid that all you young people come to take my seat, I think we are gone,” he added.</p>
<p>The PSP party conference, which will take place next month and mark the election of the next Central Executive Committee, was another topic of discussion with Dr. Tan. According to Dr. Tan, change is inevitable at any conference including political parties.</p>
<p>“I think it is good also, because there will be a renewal and change, some people may feel they are tired, (others) may want to come and take over … I think it’s a good thing,” he concluded.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
A good murder mystery is one thing, but when a TV show also manages to infuse distinct characters and extreme albeit hilarious melodrama, it’s certainly worth tuning into. From “Good Girls” creator Jenna Bans and <s>her</s> co-creator, Bill Krebs comes “<a href="https://variety.com/t/grosse-pointe-garden-society/" id="auto-tag_grosse-pointe-garden-society" data-tag="grosse-pointe-garden-society">Grosse Pointe Garden Society</a>,” the latest unique drama with the same elements that made shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “How to Get Away with Murder” such standout hits. Despite a handful of missteps, the <a href="https://variety.com/t/nbc/" id="auto-tag_nbc" data-tag="nbc">NBC</a> show is engrossing, <s>and</s> confounding and off to a promising start. Set in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a wealthy suburb of Detroit), and centering on four local garden club members, the series is a reminder that putting a soapy spin on reliable formulas mostly leads to success. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Grosse Pointe Garden Society” opens as a shovel hits the dirt, and a body is dumped in a large hole. However, before the audience can orient themselves into the scene, the series flashes back to six months in the past. At the garden society’s headquarters, Alice (<a href="https://variety.com/t/annasophia-robb/" id="auto-tag_annasophia-robb" data-tag="annasophia-robb">AnnaSophia Robb</a>), a naive high school literature teacher, desperately searches for her missing golden retriever, Molly. Meanwhile, her best friend Brett (Ben Rappaport), a landscaper by trade, is adjusting to life as a single dad after his wife’s salacious affair. Rounding out the crew is Catherine (<a href="https://variety.com/t/aja-naomi-king/" id="auto-tag_aja-naomi-king" data-tag="aja-naomi-king">Aja Naomi King</a>), a prim and proper real-estate agent and vice president of the Garden Society whose perfectionism has endeared her to the town — until it doesn’t.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
The group is knocked off-kilter when Birdie (a fantastic <a href="https://variety.com/t/melissa-fumero/" id="auto-tag_melissa-fumero" data-tag="melissa-fumero">Melissa Fumero</a>), a wealthy socialite/romance novelist, is thrust into the crew following a DUI and court-ordered community service. As the foursome draws closer, they begin unpacking their personal struggles and chaotic inner lives, which leads to a murder coverup on the night of the Garden Society’s annual black-tie gala. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
While Robb and Rappaport are fine in their roles, the more intriguing bits of “Grosse Pointe” are led by King’s and Fumero’s performances. Image-obsessed Catherine finds solace in her newly formed bond with Birdie, who lives (and mostly thrives) on her own terms. Polar opposites, the most compelling aspects of Bans’ and Krebs’ series happen when Catherine and Birdie’s personal decisions (and differing wardrobes) are contrasted with one another. In varying ways, the women struggle with perception, self-acceptance and a sense of belonging. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Alice and Brett also have trials and tribulations, but they’re never quite as captivating as their counterparts. Moreover, Alexander Hodge is criminally underused as Alice’s artist husband, Doug. When Alice learns her dog’s fate, she begins spinning out, causing chaos in her marriage and at her job instead of focusing on what she can actually control. With little more to do, Brett finds himself in constant ego clashes with his ex-wife Melissa’s (Nora Zehetner) meddlesome new husband, Connor (Josh Ventura). There is also a forced best-friend-to-unrequited lover trope between Alice and Brett. Unfortunately, Robb and Rappaport have little romantic chemistry, so this concept doesn’t feel tangible.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
The show’s other major stumble is its confounding timeline. While the events in “Grosse Pointe” are relatively easy to follow, three advancing timelines of the past, present and future and the near-constant chronology indicators make for a somewhat disorienting watch. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Amid everything happening in Grosse Pointe, the series (critics screened four episodes for review) cleverly infuses horticulture terms and plant behaviors that align with what’s happening on screen. For viewers lacking green thumbs, most of these references will undoubtedly go over their heads without eroding the core story. However, for plant lovers, the dialogue, plus the stunning visuals of the massive central greenhouse, create an additional layer of delight to the eclectic dramedy. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
As viewers struggle to decipher who is buried among the flowers, theories and clues will bubble up, expand, explode or cause further confusion. Yet, the joyful mayhem of “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” will undoubtedly keep audiences returning to the series each week. Still, if nothing is truly revealed by the time Season 1 ends, it’s doubtful audiences will return for a second outing.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
<em>“Grosse Pointe Garden Society” premieres Feb. 23 on NBC, with new episodes dropping weekly on Sundays.</em></p>

<a href="https://variety.com/t/richard-gadd/" id="auto-tag_richard-gadd" data-tag="richard-gadd">Richard Gadd</a> may be earning quite a few awards for his breakout Netflix series “<a href="https://variety.com/t/baby-reindeer/" id="auto-tag_baby-reindeer" data-tag="baby-reindeer">Baby Reindeer</a>,” but he’s not holding onto many.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“I tend to give most of them out to people, if you can believe that,” he told me Saturday at the Independent <a href="https://variety.com/t/spirit-awards/" id="auto-tag_spirit-awards" data-tag="spirit-awards">Spirit Awards</a>, where he took home the prize for best lead in a new scripted series.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“I never want to reveal where they are in case people break into the house because some of them are obviously very valuable now, but [mom has] got a few, I’ll put it that way,” he said. “I think I’ve got about two awards in my house. I think I’ve got one of the three Emmys and I think I’ve got an Olivier.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
When gifting the awards, he tells the lucky recipients, “Thanks for everything you’ve done for me. I’m here and I’m alive because of you. Here’s an award to say thanks.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
He continued, “I’ve had some tough times in my life. A lot of good people have got me through them and I wouldn’t be accepting these awards if it weren’t for them.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Gadd also revealed that John Cena once sent him a video telling me how much he loved “Baby Reindeer.” “I grew up watching wrestling…so that kind of blew my mind,” Gadd said.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Elton John called him to say he’s a fan. “I missed him and I phoned him back because he left me a voicemail,” Gadd said. “I phoned him and missed him and then I think he called me back again. That was surreal. Then there are people like Ariana Grande, who I just thought was so lovely. Considering she’s probably one of the most famous people in the world, she was just so humble and nice.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Flowers” Grammy-winner Miley Cyrus introduced herself to Gadd and his “Baby Reindeer” co-stars Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau at the Golden Globes. “She told me how much she loved the show,” Gadd said. “I don’t know how serious she was, but she was like, ‘If you need any theme music in the future, give me a shout.’”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
At Sunday’s SAG Awards, Gadd is up for outstanding performance by a male actor in a television movie or limited series. He said he will be listening to music as he gets ready for the ceremony. “Weirdly, I’m listening to a band called Rap Bag at the moment,” he said. “They’re quite obscure, but they’ve got this amazing song I cannot stop listening to. They’ve got this amazing sort of ethereal, slightly shrill — not shrill, that sounds bad! — but it’s haunting.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will stream live globally on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Netflix. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">

“<a href="https://variety.com/t/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy/">Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy</a>” is nearing a sweet box office benchmark with the fourth installment in the love-struck film franchise about to surpass $75 million overseas.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
“Bridget Jones 4,” starring Renée Zellweger as the titular heroine, added a solid $19.2 million over the weekend from 73 international markets for a tally above $71 million. Those ticket sales are higher than the three prior “Bridget Jones” films as well as 2022’s Julia Roberts and George Clooney-led “Ticket to Paradise” at the same point in their theatrical cycles, according to distributor Universal Pictures. The $50 million-budgeted film debuted on Peacock in the United States.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
For context, 2001’s “Bridget Jones’s Diary” earned $262 million internationally while its sequels, 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby” generated $224 million and $187 million overseas, respectively. Meanwhile, “Ticket to Paradise” earned $100 million overseas. With all of these romantic-comedies, foreign ticket sales accounted for at least 60% and as much as 89% of overall revenues.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Elsewhere at the international box office, “Captain America: Brave New World” ranked No. 1 again with $35.3 million from 52 territories. The superhero sequel, starring Anthony Mackie as the star-spangled Avenger, has grossed $148.2 million overseas and $289.4 million to date. </p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Without anything in the way of competition, this “Captain America” adventure is Hollywood’s highest grossing release of the year. But box office prognosticators are waiting to see whether the $180 million-budgeted comic book tentpole will have more endurance than 2023’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which had a similar start and second weekend slump to “Brave New World.” The third “Ant Man” eventually tapped out with $476 million and failed to break even in its theatrical run. Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has struggled with commercial consistency after the blockbuster success of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” has two other movies — “Thunderbolts” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” — on the schedule in 2025.</p>

You’ve gotta hand it to those resourceful YouTubers who can approximate celebrity red-carpet looks with basic household items, like the lady who took a black bodysuit, a peach-colored bedsheet, some elastics and — voila! — Ariana Grande at the BAFTAs.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
What would these mimics make of Jawara Alleyne’s experimental and extreme DIY creations — fabric scraps often held together with mere gravity and safety pins?</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Despite all their raw, slashed, thrown-together qualities, they would not be easy to reproduce. But would you want to?</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Alleyne did his utmost to bring glamor to his slithery, draped jersey skirts and barely there tops — sometimes not more than fabric tubes, a jagged swath of tulle or the remnants of a shirt placket.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Elbow-length mesh gloves, pointy heels and polished hair occasionally produced a punk princess effect.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Alleyne’s menswear was more intriguing, with slashed polo shirts and patchwork pants evoking castaways from a Ralph Lauren cruise ship.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Backstage, the designer said he’s not pursuing the traditional wholesale route — and those YouTubers don’t have his raw talent. “It’s a lot of deconstruction because there’s actually a huge customer base for that in London,” he said.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Frozen shakes sold to nursing homes, hospitals and other institutions have been recalled after the drinks were tied to a yearslong deadly listeria outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration said on Friday.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Since 2018, at least 11 people have died from the outbreak and dozens have been hospitalized, <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-listeria-monocytogenes-frozen-supplemental-shakes-february-2025" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the F.D.A. said</a>, but previous investigations had not been able to find a source of the bacteria.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In 37 of the 38 known cases, the patients were hospitalized; 34 of those infected were in long-term care facilities or had been hospitalized before becoming sick with listeria.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Cases have been reported in 21 states, including California, Florida and New York. Since January 2024, there have been 20 cases, and the outbreak is ongoing, the F.D.A. said.</p>

<div data-testid="companionColumn-1">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The F.D.A. said on Friday that the outbreak had been linked to Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial frozen shakes, which are made to supplement meals. They come in four-ounce cartons and in flavors such as vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The F.D.A. said that it had been notified about a listeria outbreak on Nov. 25 and had started an investigation that found a connection to the frozen shakes after a review of records at facilities where people who contracted the infection had been living.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been working with the F.D.A. to investigate the outbreak.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Lyons Magnus, the food service company that distributes the drinks, said on Saturday <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lyons-magnus-recalls-lyons-readycare-and-sysco-imperial-frozen-supplemental-shakes-manufactured-by-third-party-because-of-possible-health-risk-302382823.html" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in a news release</a> that it was recalling the shakes because they could be contaminated with the bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The company said the drinks had mostly been sold to long-term care facilities and were not available for retail sale.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"/></div>
<div data-testid="companionColumn-2">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Most <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/listeria-food-poisoning-recall.html" title="">people who get sick</a> from food contaminated by listeria show symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting and muscle aches for a few days, or no symptoms at all.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Some groups, including people who are 65 and older, who are pregnant or who have weakened immune systems, are at a higher risk of having a serious infection. Symptoms can appear on the same day a person eats contaminated food or as late as 10 weeks later, according to the F.D.A.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The drinks were manufactured by Prairie Farms Dairy at a facility in Fort Wayne, Ind., Lyons Magnus said. Prairie Farms did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Sysco, a food distribution company, <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.sysco.com/sysco-recall" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">said in a news release on Friday</a> that it had recalled the shakes and stopped the purchase of other products supplied by Lyons Magnus from the facility in Fort Wayne.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Sysco expresses our most sincere condolences with those affected by this outbreak and their families,” the company said in a statement.</p>

<p>Manchester City will host Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday, aiming to disrupt the visitors’ title ambitions while strengthening their own push for a top-four finish. After getting eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City now have only a slim chance of claiming the Premier League title.</p>
<p>As they prepare to face Liverpool, the Citizens will be determined to end the season on a strong note and make it challenging for their rivals to secure silverware. On the other hand, Liverpool will be eager to regain momentum with a crucial win. The Reds have dropped points in two of their last three league games and cannot afford another setback.</p>

<p>Arsenal are already closing in, ready to capitalize on any misstep from Liverpool this weekend. With both Liverpool and Manchester City facing pressure to secure a win—albeit for different reasons—it remains to be seen which side will have the last laugh.</p>
<p>Manchester City will be without Rodri due to a knee injury, while Manuel Akanji remains doubtful. They will set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Ederson in goal. Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol will play as full-backs, while Ruben Dias partners John Stones in central defense. Ilkay Gundogan anchors midfield, with De Bruyne and Silva creating chances. Doku and Foden start in the wide areas, supporting Haaland who will spearhead the attack.</p>
<p>Liverpool are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Manchester City, with Alisson Becker guarding the net. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will take up full-back roles, contributing defensively and offensively. Virgil van Dijk will pair with Ibrahima Konate in central defense.</p>
<p>In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will provide stability and control, while Dominik Szoboszlai will focus on creating attacking chances. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz will bring flair and firepower from the wings, supporting Diogo Jota, who will lead Liverpool’s attack at the Etihad on Sunday.</p>
<p><strong>When and Where</strong></p>
<p>The English Premier League match between Manchester City and Liverpool Forest will be played at the Etihad, Manchester, on Sunday, February 23, at % PM BST/12 PM ET and 10:30 PM IST.</p>

In an ominous sign for visual effects artists, <a href="https://variety.com/t/technicolor/" id="auto-tag_technicolor" data-tag="technicolor">Technicolor</a>-owned <a href="https://variety.com/t/mpc/" id="auto-tag_mpc" data-tag="mpc">MPC</a>, the banner behind recent Disney films “Mufasa: The Lion King,” “The Jungle Book” and “The Lion King,” could begin shutting its doors as early as Monday, according to multiple sources.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
On Friday, Technicolor began alerting customers and employees, sending U.S. employees a WARN notice as required by law for large companies that anticipate closings and mass layoffs. A total shutdown of MPC and Technicolor’s operations would effect thousands of visual effects workers.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
According to the text of the notice, obtained by <em>Variety</em>, “Technicolor has been facing severe financial challenges. Despite exhaustive efforts — including restructuring initiatives, discussions with potential investors, and exploring acquisition opportunities — we have been unable to secure a viable path forward. Unfortunately, this leaves us with no alternative but to acknowledge that the Company may be forced to foreclose.” Another portion reads, “If no viable solution is found, we may be required to cease our U.S. operations as early as Monday, February 24, 2025.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Paris-headquartered Technicolor — which owns MPC, commercial VFX company The Mill, Mikros Animation and Technicolor Games — is involved in multiple conversations this weekend, aiming to secure a deal or deals for acquisition of the full company or individual brands, or otherwise keep the doors open, according to sources. “People are rushing to see if they can do a deal,” one insider requesting anonymity told <em>Variety</em>.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Technicolor and MPC have been contacted by <em>Variety </em>for comment.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Upcoming projects at MPC include Disney’s “Snow White” and “Lilo and Stitch,” as well as Paramount’s “Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” Mikros’ work includes Paramount and Nickelodeon’s upcoming “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.” Should the company begin to close, it’s not clear whether the current work could be completed by these facilities or if it will move to another VFX vendor or vendors.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
MPC operates in countries including the U.S., UK, Canada and India and employs thousands of artists. It was founded as The Moving Picture Company in the Soho section of London in 1970, and moved into features when the “Harry Potter” movies were made. In addition to “Mufasa,” MPC’s recent work include “Kraven the Hunter,” “Young Woman and the Sea” and “Emilia Perez.”</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Technicolor — the iconic century-old film tech brand – has experienced several restructurings and management changes in recent years and following its filing for chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in 2020.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">
Technicolor Post was sold to Streamland Media for $36.5 million in 2021, merging its operations with Streamland’s businesses, including Picture Shop. In 2022, Technicolor relaunched MPC and the other current brands as Technicolor Creative Services while the company’s connected home and supply chain services were separately brought under a new brand, Vantiva.</p>
