It’s the night before Donald Trump’s inauguration and Lance Johnston, a 23-year-old content creator, is smiling and posing in front of a giant TikTok logo. Johnston was one of the first political voices on the app in its early days, and amassed a six-figure following by posting conservative commentary. After his videos ran afoul of TikTok’s community guidelines, however, he was banned and forced to pursue another career. “Every person I knew on political TikTok got banned,” he says. “It was very upsetting.” Now, however, he’s back and creating content full-time again. He has found a dedicated audience on X (formerly Twitter) along with Instagram and Snapchat. “I told everyone back in the day TikTok would be critical for the election,” he says. He recently secured his old TikTok…

The Katy Perry who last toured eight years ago was a much different person than the Katy Perry hitting the road in 2025. She got engaged to Orlando Bloom and gave birth to their daughter, Daisy, who’s now four. She judged American Idol for seven seasons, dropped two albums, and hosted 80 shows for her Play residency in Las Vegas. But also: “You know, every seven years, all of your cells regenerate,” she says with a wink. “I’m a whole, actual, biologically, physically different person!” In April, the singer will embark on her Lifetimes Tour, a “Disneyland on wheels” show that will spotlight her deep catalog of pop hits, paired with the sci-fi themes of her last record, 143. Here’s what fans should know heading in. There’s a storyline…

My wife — as usual — understood the situation before I did. The night before, we’d both been awoken by the wind. Hundred-year-old pine branches snapping off like matchsticks. Iron lawn furniture tumbling across the yard. “This is not good,” she said. We’d just moved to Altadena, California. Our dream house, right at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Three years of renovations in the making. We had a view of Eaton Canyon from our back porch, and waterfall hiking trails half a mile away. We planned to spend the morning unpacking; half of our moving boxes hadn’t even been opened. I dropped off our daughter at school, then got to work. But the gale-force Santa Anas rattling the windows made it hard to concentrate. Around 10:30 a.m.,…

It’s so fitting that Garth Hudson was the last man standing from the Band. The beloved organ player died on Jan. 21 at 87, near Woodstock, New York — just a few miles down the road from Big Pink, the house where the Band and Bob Dylan transformed music history just by jamming in the basement. Hudson was the mystery man in the Band, the silent one, the only one who didn’t sing. He was older than the others, already in his thirties by the time they released their classic 1968 debut, Music From Big Pink. But with his self-effacing genius, he epitomized the Band as a group of whittlers and tinkerers, playing down-home music with a frontier spirit. They were the ultimate rock & roll fantasy of brotherhood,…

ROBERT PATTINSON IS THE 21ST CENTURY’S GREAT MOVIE WEIRDO Mickey 17 is another film where the actor goes off the rails — and once again, it pays off. By David Fear You don’t have to be a Hollywood insider to recognize that being part of the latest project from a world-renowned writer-director is a smart move for an actor. Most A-list stars might have balked at playing the lead of Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17, however. The setting: In the future, technological advances have given us the ability to make human duplicates. It’s outlawed on Earth, but perfectly legal to do in the realm of space exploration. A dim-witted guy named Mickey Barnes signs up for the program in order to outrun loan sharks, and spends the next four years…

The Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is a box-office hit, and there are Bruce Springsteen and Beatles films on the way. That got us thinking about some rock movies that haven’t been made yet — and what they might look like if given the Complete Unknown treatment, including historically questionable cameos and wildly abridged plots. Like a Hurricane: The Neil Young Story Neil Young (Timothée Chalamet) leaves the Canadian folk scene behind in 1966 to drive a vintage hearse to Los Angeles, where he meets up with Stephen Stills (Josh Hutcherson) and forms Buffalo Springfield. The movie tells the story of their relationship across the next 10 years as Young abandons promising groups he forms with Stills again and again. Pete Seeger (Ed Norton) and fictional blues legend…

“At the end of the day, I can know I did well or I didn’t — but it was me.” When Hannah Bahng arrives at Chicago’s Millennium Park, she makes a beeline for Cloud Gate — the 33-foot-high public sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor that is known colloquially as the Bean. Bundled up in baggy everything, the singer-songwriter examines the Bean from multiple angles before picking a spot to pose for photos to share with her fans. After spending Thanksgiving with her U.S. manager, the 20-year-old Australian musician has “Pass the Cranberry Sauce” (from Bob’s Burgers) on her mind, breaking into humorous renditions of the song as we walk to a nearby coffee shop. There, she will fight me to pay the check — just two Koreans of different…

In the past few years, the uplifting husband-and-wife vocal duo the War and Treaty started showing up everywhere. Since signing a major-label record deal in 2022, Michael and Tanya Trotter — known for their blend of rootsy R&B and country gospel — have become mainstays at awards shows, performed at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November, and earned high-profile duetting slots with everyone from Zach Bryan to Ringo Starr. Before starting the band, Michael served in Iraq and began playing piano in one of Saddam Hussein’s abandoned palaces. Tanya, meanwhile, came up as a Nineties R&B singer whose solo career never quite took off. Both struggled with severe mental-health issues but have flourished in their partnership since meeting at a music festival, getting married and forming the War…

APOCALYPSE, LOS ANGELES SURVIVING THE FIRESTORM They built their lives in L.A., then watched them go up in smoke By Stephen Rodrick The sun rose over Los Angeles County at 6:59 a.m. on Jan. 7 with many of its residents already on high alert. In Malibu, David Hertz had spent most of the night prowling around Xanabu, his aptly named 150-acre property nestled four miles above the Pacific Coast Highway. Hertz is a quintessential Southern Californian, a thick-haired 64-year-old surfer and architect bent on building multimillion-dollar homes with recycled material. He was famous for designing and then living in Venice’s Californication House — featured in the Showtime series of the same name that starred David Duchovny — and the 747 Wing House, a residence adjacent to his current property…

This project was supported by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. I met Karina on a sunny hillside in Eternal Glory Park in central Kyiv last April. The spring tulips and cherry blossoms that line the park were in full bloom. Ukraine’s omnipresent flowers have a rebellious quality during wartime. We sat to talk as the shouting and honking of a nearby protest to free Ukrainian POWs echoed through the park. Karina attends a premedical high school here. She loves synchronized swimming and doing photo shoots for Instagram with her friends. In the early morning of Feb. 24, 2022, when Karina’s family first started to hear the rumble of shelling, they decided to leave Kyiv for what they thought would be the relative safety of their home in the…

It’s July Fourth, and Eligio Bishop is pacing his cell at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison, with a phone pressed to his ear, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. The 42- year-old is locked in his cell nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week. His only company, he says, are rats and roaches that sometimes bite him while he sleeps. “If there was hell on Earth,” Bishop says, “this is it.” Bishop’s cell is small and austere. The one indulgence he’s permitted are phone calls, in 20-minute increments, every few days. For someone who loves talking as much as Bishop, it’s a lifeline. A guard rolls the phone cart into his cell, and if nobody else wants it, Bishop can string together these…

When his latest series, A Man on the Inside, debuted on Netflix last November, Ted Danson was a few weeks away from turning 77. Where at one point over his long career he had been asked to minimize the signs of his aging, dyeing his whitening hair brown, now he was starring in a show where aging is the whole subject. Danson plays a widowed former college professor named Charles who gets a job offer to help investigate a jewel theft by infiltrating a retirement community. He makes new friends there, and among the lively fellow old folks realizes there are many more adventures he’d like to have while he still can. It feels like the peak of a trend that’s been building up over the past decade, where…

If you’ve watched any of D.C. rapper Noochie’s Live From the Front Porch YouTube performance series, you’ve seen his front steps, where stars like the Lox, Chance the Rapper, and Robin Thicke have all performed with live instrumentalists to the tune of more than 6 million views. But upon visiting his home, I quickly learn that the key to his success is a couple of yards offscreen on the front lawn, where dozens of crew members are setting up five cameras, enormous speakers, and a giant white tarp before the arrival of Cordae and Anderson .Paak for today’s performance. Noochie immediately daps me when I walk onto his lawn and invites me into the house, tucked away on a back street featuring similarly detached, single-family properties as far as…

It could have been a party. At around two in the afternoon on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024, Doug Jones was making business calls from his room in Buenos Aires’ upscale CasaSur Palermo Hotel when clanging, banging, and whooping sounds erupted across the hall. “I heard some really bizarre noises, like yelling, and it sounded like someone was partying,” he says. ● Jones, a 36-year-old Texan in town for his friend Bret Watson’s destination wedding, eventually left the room. When he returned a few hours later, it seemed like his neighbor’s door wouldn’t stop slamming. “It sounded like people were coming and going nonstop,” Jones says. “It was happening every few minutes.” At one point, someone even tried opening Jones’ door until he yelled at them. But the ruckus continued.…

BIRD’S-EYE VIEW TO CATCH A SERIAL CHILD PREDATOR ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL In Theaters MARCH 7 RUNGANO NYONI’S follow-up to 2017’s I Am Not a Witch starts with a woman named Shula (Susan Chardy) coming across a dead body in the road. The fact that she’s dressed exactly like Missy Elliott in the music video for “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” down to the silver helmet and puffy black jumpsuit, shows you that Nyoni has a wicked sense of humor; the revelation that the corpse is “Uncle Fred,” a well-known pedophile who chronically abused a small Zambian village’s young women for years without consequences, also demonstrates that the movie is not afraid to point fingers. Guinea fowls, it should be noted, are renowned for crying out whenever predators…
