Ari is ending the year in full musical theatre mode. Swarovski just released “JOY: The Swarovski Musical,” a three-act holiday spot directed by her longtime collaborator Christian Breslauer.
In act one Ari pays tribute to Fred Astaire. In act two she’s a ballerina in a nod to Margot Fonteyn. The finale brings back the pop star, dripping in oversized drop earrings and stacked tennis bracelets. Check out the clip above!
If you haven’t noticed, this is now the Kate Berlant Network where we bring you all the latest Kate Updates (not to be confused with Macy Rodman’s CaitUpdate) – kind of like a Swiftie but for Parmesan (Kate’s Version).

Kate might even Mansplain technology. Tune in above!
Katya saved one of her favourite people for the end. The Season 5 finale of Katya’s Who’s the A**hole? brings in Alaska 5000, and together they judge another batch of unhinged stories sent in by viewers. These two shared the All Stars 2 finale back in 2016 (Alaska took the crown), so you already know what level of chaos to expect.
Kid Cudi is finally taking the role people have been asking him to play for years. The rapper and Entergalactic creator announced on Instagram that he’s written Jean, a Jean-Michel Basquiat film he’ll also direct and star in. Cameras are set to roll in 2027. He researched the film by reading books and talking to people who knew Basquiat. He also shared photos from an early wardrobe test, dreadlocked wig and all (he says it’s not the final wig, so be nice).
Cudi dedicated the film to “all those dreamers out there.” There’s no word yet on whether Basquiat’s estate is on board, and that could decide whether the real paintings make it on screen. Jeffrey Wright set the bar in Julian Schnabel’s 1996 Basquiat, so Cudi has a big canvas to fill.
Check out the wardrobe test after the jump! Thoughts?
Kate Berlant was seeing a few too many ghosts for a while. Amy hangs with the actress and comedian and talks about why you can’t have two class clowns in bed, if she’s a nepo baby, and why all curses should be lifted for free.
Comedian Leo Reich created, wrote and stars in IT GETS WORSE, a six-episode A24 comedy about three university friends in their mid-twenties.
Lena Dunham and Amelia Dimoldenberg pop up too, and Andrew Scott plays Ethan’s therapist. All six episodes drop on Channel 4 in the UK this Thursday, and Paramount+ has it in the US on November 6. In Canada it’s a Crave Original with no date yet… Ehm, Crave, we’re waiting!
