Look, Euphoria just got renewed for a third season. It’s a massively popular show that sits on the shoulders of its biggest star, Zendaya. So there was never really a possibility that Rue wasn’t going to make it through this week’s highly upsetting episode. But still… it felt that way at times, didn’t it? The whole hour is one big nail-biting, soul-aching stress session during which Rue goes on the run. Read on for the highlights of “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird.” At first, Rue thinks that Gia ratted her out about the weed she “confessed” to doing a while back. But Rue’s mom says that Jules was the one who let her know about Rue’s relapse. She wants to take Rue to the hospital, but Rue won’t go. They fight. Really hard things are said. (“You’re not a good person, Rue,” Mrs. ...

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek addressed staff in a late night memo addressing Joe Rogan’s use of the n-word and the mysterious removal of 70 podcast episodes earlier this week. The total number of deleted Joe Rogan Experience episodes is now 113, according to the website jremissing.com. “Not only are some of Joe Rogan’s comments incredibly hurtful — I want to make clear that they do not represent the values of this company,” Ek writes in the memo, which The Verge obtained. “I know this situation leaves many of you feeling drained, frustrated and unheard.” He goes on to say Spotify spoke with Rogan and his team about “some of the content in his show, including his history of using some racially insensitive language.” Following these chats “and his own reflections,” Ek says Rogan “chose to ...

Jennifer Garner is looking back on one of her earlier romances. On Saturday, the 49-year-old actress received the 2022 Hasty Pudding Award from Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals theater troupe. During the ceremony, Garner took to the stage to play a Q&A-style game inspired by her film "Yes Day." At one point, the star was asked to recount her first kiss, and she happily shared the details. "It was a guy named Matt Crittenden. He tried to go further than a kiss, and I swatted it away," she recalled, according to People magazine. "He broke up with me the next day because he said I was a prude, which was a badge I've worn proudly ever since." JENNIFER GARNER NAMED WOMAN OF THE YEAR BY HASTY PUDDING THEATRICALS Jennifer Garner recalled being broken up with on...

The makeup mogul announced Sunday via her verified Instagram account that she has given birth. The black and white photo showing what appears to be their 4-year-old daughter, Stormi, holding a newborn's hand featured a caption with a blue heart emoji and the date 2-22-22. Stormi was born February 1, 2018. Her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, commented "Angel Pie" about the photo and Kylie's sister Kourtney Kardashian wrote "Mommy of two life." Scott also commented on the birth of the new baby with a blue heart and six brown heart emojis. Kylie Jenner confirmed in September that she and the rapper were expecting their second child together. As of Sunday night, no additional information about the new baby had been released.

Other pieces were equally theatrical and sometimes featured ritualistic elements. A recording of whale songs made by a marine scientist inspired his “Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale)” for electric flute, cello and amplified piano (1971). The performers wear black half-masks; Mr. Crumb also specified that (where possible) the performance take place under blue lighting. He used various extended techniques, like strumming the piano strings with a paper clip, to create eerie sonorities. Each movement of his orchestral piece “Echoes of Time and the River” (awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1968) features processionals in which small groups of musicians move around the stage in patterns and directions specified in the score — requirements Mr. Crumb later acknowledged were rather impractical. Pract...
