Of all the “Friends” stars, Lisa Kudrow has had the most unorthodox postshow career, creating a menagerie of oddballs. But Valerie Cherish, Kudrow’s character in “The Comeback,” is “her finest creation,” Michael Schulman writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mHeTem
So Democrats heard that voters want them to be "tough" and reverted to high-school-in-the-80s-style taunting other boys for being gay. Yikes.

RIP Mary Beth Hurt, who said one of the best things I’ve ever heard about acting (relayed here by the director Daniel Fish, in an interview with Cynthia Ozick).
Welcome back to television, Valerie Cherish. You’re IT! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Oh dear. Whatever's going on with Liza Minnelli, Michael Feinstein, and her puppet-mastered book/audiobook, it's uncomfortable at best. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
Glad to see there's a macho-male-politician equivalent to "She wafts into the restaurant looking effortless in a hoodie and jeans and orders a hot tea with lemon."

The category is...Talk of the Town! I spoke to the queer ballroom legend Junior LaBeija, of the Royal House of LaBeija, about playing Gus the Theatre Cat in the unmissable "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" on Broadway. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Very interesting. Also notable: Dr. Robby's mentor who died in the pandemic was a Black man, which feels possibly like a nod to Eriq La Salle's character from "ER."
