But the most star-studded effort is still on the way: <strong>Beyonc&#xE9;,</strong> a Houston native, is joining <strong><a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/people/oprah-winfrey#intcid=dt-hot-link">Oprah Winfrey</a>,</strong> <strong>George Clooney,</strong> <strong>Reese Witherspoon,</strong> <strong>Barbra Streisand,</strong> and more for a one-hour telethon on September 12 titled &#x201C;Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Harvey Relief,&#x201D; according to <em><a href="http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/beyonce-george-clooney-hurricane-harvey-telethon-september-12-1202547109/">Variety</a>.</em></p><p data-reactid="219">The event will raise money for charities like United Way of Greater Houston, Habitat for Humanity, Save the Children, Feeding Texas, and the Mayor&#x2019;s Fund for Hurricane Harvey Relief, and will be broadcast at 8 P.M. ET across ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and cabler CMT. The country star <strong>George Strait</strong> will also pop up on the telecast, performing in concert at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas.</p><p data-reactid="220">The idea for the telethon was dreamt up by pop management savant <strong>Scooter Braun,</strong> who will executive produce the benefit alongside <strong>Allison Kaye,</strong> producing duo <strong>Jesse Ignjatovic</strong> and <strong>Evan Prager,</strong> and Houston-based rapper <strong>Bun B</strong> (who is also <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2016/02/26/bun-b-oscars-predictions-2016">a solid Oscar forecaster</a> in his spare time). Braun, who manages stars like <strong>Justin Bieber</strong> and <strong>Ariana Grande,</strong> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/05/arts/music/ariana-grande-scooter-braun-manchester-benefit.html?mcubz=3&amp;_r=0">also organized</a> the latter&#x2019;s benefit concert in Manchester, England, earlier this year. A terror attack at a Grande concert killed 22 people and injured more than 100 people. The subsequent benefit concert, titled &#x201C;One Love Manchester,&#x201D; was put together a little over a week later and quickly raised more than $12 million for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.</p><p data-reactid="221">Plenty of other stars will also be joining the Houston telecast, via either live or taped segments. Thus far, the list also includes <strong>Jamie Foxx,</strong> <strong>Tori Kelly,</strong> <strong>Karlie Kloss,</strong> <strong>Rob Lowe,</strong> <strong>Matthew McConaughey,</strong> <strong>Dennis Quaid,</strong> <strong>Kelly Rowland, Adam Sandler,</strong> <strong>Ryan Seacrest,</strong> <strong>Michael Strahan,</strong> and <strong>Blake Shelton.</strong></p><p data-reactid="222">Houston is still desperately in need of aid after the devastating hurricane.

At first it seemed like a joke aimed at both <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/11/steve-martin-would-vote-for-tom-hanks-at-drama-league-gala-2017\">Winfrey and <strong>Tom Hanks</strong></a>, but since the Globes has turned into <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/meryl-streep-thinks-oprah-has-to-run-for-president\">more of a real suggestion</a> for a country thinking that, if one television star can become president, why not another? But in a <a href=\"http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/oprah-winfrey-march-cover\">new interview</a>&#8212;conducted <em>before</em> the Globes&#8212;for <em>InStyle</em>’s March issue, Winfrey speaks pretty adamantly, as she had in the past, against the idea of moving her headquarters to the Oval Office.</p>\n<p>“I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not,” she said. “And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it.”</p>\n<p>Winfrey tells <em>InStyle</em> she was aware of the people who want her to run; she’s seen the merch: “I actually saw a mug the other day . . . I thought it was a cute mug. All you need is a mug and some campaign literature and a T-shirt.”</p>\n<p>She added that her best friend, <strong>Gayle King,</strong> would report via text or phone call when she would get asked by complete strangers whether her friend would run. “So Gayle sends me these things, and then she’ll go, ‘I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you&#8212;it would be good for everyone else.’”</p>\n<p>But after the Golden Globes, those closest to Winfrey weren’t as dismissive of the idea. During an <a href=\"http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mog-golden-globes-oprah-president-20180107-story.html\">interview with the <em>Los Angeles Times</em></a>, Winfrey’s longtime partner, <strong>Stedman Graham,</strong> hinted that it wasn’t such a long shot, after all.</p>\n<p>“It’s up to the people,” Graham said. “She would absolutely do it.”</p>\n<p>Though we have never heard anything other than complete denial from Winfrey on the topic, it seems some powerful people, including <strong>Meryl Streep,</strong> really want this to happen.</p>\n<p>“She launched a rocket tonight,” Streep <a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2018/01/08/meryl-streep-just-endorsed-an-oprah-winfrey-presidential-run/?utm_term=.a41de1453fc0\">told <em>The Washington Post</em></a> after the Globes. “I want her to run for president. I don’t think she had any intention [of declaring]. But now she doesn’t have a choice.”</p>\n<p><em>InStyle</em> seems to want that to happen, too. The magazine posted this Instagram and reportedly took it down one hour later:</p>\n<div class=\"embed block row social-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"embed twitter-embed-component twitter-tweet twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\" data-type=\"twitter\" data-url=\"https://twitter.com/HereReedThis/status/956546553711333376\"><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/HereReedThis/status/956546553711333376\">https://twitter.com/HereReedThis/status/956546553711333376</a></p></blockquote></div><p>Oprah 2020?

As fans are well aware, <strong>Kim Cattrall,</strong> who played Samantha Jones in the original series and films, has <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/09/sarah-jessica-parker-sex-and-the-city-3-dead\">repeatedly said</a> that she will never return to the franchise&#8212;leaving one-fourth of the central troupe unaccounted for. Cattrall has <a href=\"http://ew.com/movies/2017/10/23/kim-cattrall-thinks-sex-and-the-city-should-recast-samantha-with-black-or-hispanic-actress/\">already suggested</a> that her role be re-cast with a black or Hispanic actress; indeed the main ingredient to a successful Samantha will likely not be found in her appearance, but in her impish personality. As for who might capture that spirit? Cattrall’s got a few interesting suggestions.</p>\n<p>How about, for instance, <strong>Ellen DeGeneres</strong>? During a sit-down with the talk-show host this week, Cattrall’s erstwhile co-star <strong>Sarah Jessica Parker</strong> said she thought DeGeneres would be perfect for the role&#8212;and, true to Samantha form, Cattrall <a href=\"https://twitter.com/KimCattrall/status/953742174817931266\">endorsed</a> the idea by saying, “She’d be fabulous!” But does DeGeneres <em>really</em> have the saucy quality it takes to play Samantha? Hey, if she can bring to life a forgetful fish, she can probably play anything&#8212;but just in case, Cattrall then threw out a few other suggestions of her own.</p>\n<p>What about <strong>Oprah Winfrey?</strong> Cattrall <a href=\"https://twitter.com/KimCattrall/status/954166583068278784\">tweeted</a> that although she’s partial to Ellen, “Oprah was always be my 1st.” The idea might not jibe for everyone at first blush&#8212;and Winfrey might have to cancel her hypothetical 2020 presidential campaign to make it happen&#8212;but you know what? I can see it, sort of. Switch handing out cars to handing out vibrators and butt plugs, and we might be in business! But just in case <em>that</em> doesn’t work, Cattrall saw fit to leave us with a few <em>more</em> backup options&#8212;specifically, <em>Girls Trip</em> breakout <strong>Tiffany Haddish</strong> and <em>Modern Family</em>’s <strong>Sofía Vergara.</strong></p>\n<p>For those who can’t quite talk themselves onto the Ellen or Oprah train, either of those two might be a little easier to envision in the role. After all, both have some very Samantha-like credentials: Vergara has made a career out of playing characters who smolder, while Haddish brings a delightful candor to every event she graces with her presence, from <em>S.N.L.</em>’s Studio 8H to awards ceremonies. For example, during her showstopping <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/tiffany-haddish-new-york-film-critics-circle-awards-speech\">New York Film Critics Circle acceptance speech</a>, Haddish said, “I’m wearing a pretty dress. I don’t know if my coochie is showing right now or not. If it is, it’s cool, because I’m wearing God’s panties and my panties on top of them.” (Hey, remember that time Smith Jerrod told Samantha that “bush is back”?) The only problem with Haddish is that she might be a bit young to be palling around with Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda&#8212;but if she’s cool with it, we’re cool with it.</p>\n<p>Is there any apparent pattern to Cattrall’s suggestions? Not really. But if replacing Samantha gets us another <em>Sex and the City,</em> honestly, why not? (Psst, Kim, a free suggestion for the next time you’re pitching replacements&#8212;how about <strong><a href=\"http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/sex-and-the-city-finale/n11799?snl=1\">Christina Aguilera</a></strong>?) After all, as Carrie herself once said, “Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.” If the person Samantha will be is any one of these women, the other three should consider themselves lucky.</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Television","tags":["sex and the city 3","kim cattrall"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"Or Ellen DeGeneres.

Hollywood Democrats loved the idea (<strong>Meryl Streep:</strong> “I want her to run”). Elected Democrats cheered (Congresswoman <strong>Jackie Speier:</strong> “Run, Oprah, run!”). Campaign operative Democrats swooned (“Call me,” tweeted the Iowa state director of <strong>Barack Obama’s</strong> 2012 re-election effort).</p>\n<p>One key group, however, isn’t buying the hype: actual democratic Democrats, the mostly young, grassroots insurgents who propelled <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> in his surprisingly strong 2016 primary bid. Their rejection of Oprah is a preview of the <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/democrats-prepare-for-a-bloodbath-a-novel-strategy-emerges\">intramural battle</a> that’s beginning to rage again between the pragmatic professional Democrats and the idealistic <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong>-Sanders wing. The left believes that <strong>Hillary Clinton’s</strong> loss means that 2020 should be its turn, and that the Democratic nomination should go to a genuine liberal populist&#8212;not to another centrist hand-delivered by the D.N.C. insiders who rigged the 2016 primary, nor a rich, politically unprincipled celebrity, the Democratic version of <strong>Donald Trump.</strong> “There’s really no question that Oprah is very much an establishment figure,” said <strong>Corbin Trent,</strong> a former Sanders staffer who is the communications director for Justice Democrats, a progressive political action committee that is working to elect committed left-of-center Democrats in this year’s midterms. “Oprah’s speech hit plenty of important values. But from our perspective as an organization, part of what we’re trying to do is create paths to high office that don’t run through the billionaire class. One billionaire president in a decade is going to be plenty for us.”</p>\n<p>Winfrey’s net worth is verifiably massive. Far less clear are her political beliefs. Aside from enthusiastically championing Obama, and tepidly backing Clinton, she appears to be in favor of stricter gun control, more humane immigration policies, full L.G.B.T.Q. rights, and freedom of the press. All of which are fairly standard positions for any 21st-century Democrat. Where Winfrey stands on single-payer health care, a litmus test on the left, is a large and unsettled question&#8212;and leaves the door open a crack with some Berniephiles. “If Oprah were to use her financial independence to be really politically independent, O.K., maybe,” said <strong>Briahna Joy Gray,</strong> a lawyer and contributing editor at <em>Current Affairs.</em> “But if she’s going to be a typical centrist candidate, she doesn’t excite me any more than <strong>Cory Booker</strong> or <strong>Joe Biden</strong> or <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> do. Bernie Sanders was independent because he actually inspired people to give him $27 donations. That’s something we should be infinitely more excited about and proud of than hoping for a benevolent billionaire to do the right thing and save us all.”</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/oprah-2020-reveals-democrats-existential-crisis\">other faction</a> aggressively throwing cold water on the idea of an Oprah 2020 presidential run has been Winfrey’s friends. Curiously, though, some of her putative Democratic competitors wouldn’t mind seeing the possibility of candidate Oprah linger a bit longer&#8212;even though polls show her trouncing all of them. A few months of Oprah speculation could provide welcome cover from Republican attack, and it would reduce the risk of peaking too soon in the media. “No one wants to be the 2020 front-runner in January 2018,” said a top Democratic strategist. “Without Oprah, the field is going to be Noah’s Ark, but instead of two of everything, there will be four of everything&#8212;African-Americans, women, governors, mayors.”</p>\n<p>A large primary field likely benefits people who don’t currently have high national name-recognition&#8212;such as New York Senator <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand,</strong> former Massachusetts governor <strong>Deval Patrick,</strong> or Los Angeles Mayor <strong>Eric Garcetti</strong>&#8212;and who might need to overtake the much-better-known Warren, Sanders, and Biden. “It all depends on what Oprah does, though,” the operative said. “If this speech was it and she doesn’t give any more oxygen to the idea, then it goes away quickly and the media moves on to something else. If she talks to a foreign policy expert, it will create a lot of coverage. And if she runs? Hell yeah she’d be an impactful candidate: the heart of the Democratic primary vote is black women, she has 100-percent name I.D., and she’s inspirational. Would she be a good candidate? Who knows? <strong>Wesley Clark</strong> was going to be a great candidate.” The general turned out to have plenty of self-inflicted weaknesses as a 2004 presidential contestant&#8212;but, like Oprah, he was no liberal favorite either.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\"

Day at the Golden Globes","body":"<p>We’ve asked a lot of <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> over the years. And she’s given us a lot in return. So, at the dawn of a new year&#8212;following a really difficult one marked by horror and some rays of hard-won hope&#8212;we summoned her again, asking her to clarify and inspire and give us some kind of moral direction.</p>\n<p>As ever, she delivered. Accepting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Cecile B. DeMille award at the Golden Globe Awards tonight, Winfrey gave a <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-oprah-winfrey-cecil-b-demille-acceptance-speech\">long and impassioned speech</a> about women standing up against patriarchy, citing Recy Taylor and Rosa Parks, her own mother, and the many women who have recently spoken out about the sexual harassment and abuse they’ve suffered in Hollywood and beyond.</p>\n<p>It was exactly the kind of rousing, rumbling oratory the evening needed. As the first big awards show in the post-Weinstein reckoning era, the Globes were a bit of a test case, to see how Hollywood could celebrate itself while also acknowledging its many institutional ills, overlooked and abetted for so long. Reflected in the Globes’ mission tonight was a blurry vision of the rest of society, or at least the portion of society that cares and is paying attention to all this. What do we do now that it’s harder to ignore these problems, to minimize them into whispered anecdotes with no real weight of consequence?</p>\n<p>Well, Winfrey offered something of a way through, clad in black like most of the women at the Globes tonight, telling the patriarchy&#8212;or at least outwardly abusive men, for the time being&#8212;that time was up. It was a benediction and a rallying cry&#8212;and, some half-jokingly hoped, maybe an early stump speech.</p>\n<p>It was so good that it kind of felt like there didn’t need to be anything else. Followed immediately&#8212;why not go to commercial after Oprah, NBC??&#8212;by <strong>Natalie Portman,</strong> presenting best director, <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-natalie-portman-all-male-directors\">pointedly noting</a> that all the nominees were men (whither <strong>Greta Gerwig</strong>?), Winfrey’s grand moment was so seismic and decisive and on-target that the rest of the show felt lacking, superfluous. And some of the results proved disappointing.</p>\n<p>Most of the women winners&#8212;most prominently among them <strong>Nicole Kidman</strong> and <strong>Laura Dern</strong> for their performances in <em>Big Little Lies,</em> and <strong>Reese Witherspoon</strong> for her producing&#8212;spoke about the issues at hand when up on stage, many of them having <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-red-carpet-times-up\">brought women’s rights advocates</a> who work outside of the film industry with them to the show, as a sign of solidarity and support. But the men were largely, dismayingly, unsurprisingly quiet about the movement&#8212;and the list of winners, especially in the film categories, seemed a bit ignorant of the realities pressing down on the ceremony and upon the rest of the country.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/586c13c7b57ac35ebb000029.js?muted=1\"></div></div><p>The trenchant, vital <em>Get Out</em> was only nominated in two categories, and it lost both. <strong>Daniel Kaluuya</strong> was denied best actor in a musical or comedy in favor of <strong>James Franco</strong> in <em>The Disaster Artist,</em> a perfectly pleasant real-life showbiz fable that felt entirely less necessary than <em>Get Out</em>&#8212;and Kaluuya’s urgent central performance. <em>Get Out</em> also fell short in the best musical or comedy category to <em>Lady Bird,</em> which was a worthy opponent. But an awards ceremony honoring 2017 films that doesn’t give anything to <em>Get Out,</em> a critical and commercial hit of piercing relevance&#8212;and doesn’t even <em>nominate</em> <strong>Jordan Peele’s</strong> screenplay or his sterling (debut!) direction&#8212;is not an awards ceremony that can be wholly saved or delivered by an Oprah sermon, however great it was.</p>\n<p>Awards shows aren’t required to be anything but what they are. There’s an argument to be made that it’s silly to ask these voting bodies&#8212;especially the H.F.P.A., which is relatively tiny&#8212;to act as cultural correctors, to redress systemic wrongs. And certainly, yes, we should not be relying on the Globes or the Oscars to do much, if any, societal repair.</p>\n<p>But then we get back around to the matter of visibility, and all this starts to feel important&#8212;just a little important&#8212;again. When art, by sheer dint of its existence, can, at its best, genuinely function as a tool of ennoblement, of resistance, as a bulwark against the noxious ooze pouring out of Washington, it’s frustrating to watch same old practices played out in the face of obvious opportunity to do something better.</p>\n<p>Maybe I’m just mad that <em>Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri</em> won a whopping four awards. The film’s star, <strong>Frances McDormand</strong>&#8212;good old irascible, sensible, straight-talkin’ Frances McDormand&#8212;wasn’t a disheartening win. But to then see <strong>Sam Rockwell’s</strong> racist-with-a-heart-of-gold character rewarded, and writer-director <strong>Martin McDonagh’s</strong> seriously spotty screenplay win, and then the whole thing take best drama? That was unpleasant. <em>Three Billboards</em> certainly has its fans, but from a lot of angles, a straight white male’s sneaky apologia for his kind is not really the movie for this particular moment.</p>\n<p>More broadly: are awards shows right for the moment, either? I’m not sure. The obvious highlights of Sunday’s broadcast aside, the Globes this year had trouble making much of a case for themselves. Host <strong>Seth Meyers</strong> <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-seth-meyers-monologue-speech-intro\">did a fine job</a> with a tricky assignment, one that probably shouldn’t have been given to him. He joked that no women wanted the job, but how sincere was that? A gag about how he has no power in Hollywood fell flat because it’s, well, absolutely not true, while a bit with <strong>Amy Poehler</strong> in the audience just made me want Meyers and Poehler to switch places. Meyers seemed to know that he maybe wasn’t the most worthy ambassador for the community just now, but there was also something smug in that knowing. He still agreed to do it, didn’t he?</p>\n<p>Interestingly, Meyers was really the only person to heavily mention <strong>Donald Trump</strong> throughout the night, though the president’s stink still hung heavy in the air. He is, after all, essentially concomitant with all this talk of harassment, abuse, and other aggressive displays of male power leveraged against women, so perhaps there was no need to say his name outright. Maybe that was its own kind of statement, not giving him the satisfaction. He wasn’t watching, anyway; he was too busy sharing a <em>New York Post</em> writer’s e-mail address in a now-deleted tweet. But still, there was maybe some power, some bit of protest, in not calling him by his name.</p>\n<p>We’ve got the Screen Actors Guild Awards in a couple weeks, and then the Oscar nominations, and then the weeks-long wait for the big show. It’s impossible to say what will have changed between now and then. But if the Globes were any indication, awards season is going to have a strange, charged, existentially troubled tone this year, which it almost certainly should. How that tone is grappled with, how it’s addressed in ways both concrete and abstract, will be the real test of the industry’s self-regard.</p>\n<p>Tonight’s show was a decent enough first foray into a new enlightenment, I suppose. Sure, E!’s red carpet special was excruciating to watch, whiplashing terribly from genuinely exciting interviews with real-life activists standing alongside movie stars to witless mundanity, garishly worthless and out of step. Again, the men were too quiet, from Franco to <strong>Gary Oldman,</strong> whose <a href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/gary-oldman-the-oscar-frontrunner-with-a-dark-past\">own past is already being re-evaluated.</a> And some of the H.F.P.A.’s choices were bad.</p>\n<p>But, hey: there was still <strong>Sterling K. Brown’s</strong> strong speech after winning for best TV drama actor, a first for a black actor in the category. There was still splendidly prickly Natalie Portman, still <strong>Tracee Ellis Ross</strong> in a fabulous turban, still <strong>Rita Moreno</strong> riding around on a Rascal. And, of course, there was Oprah. Thank heavens there is Oprah, reminding us how nice it is to hear the right words, delivered in the right tone, at the right time. When so many of us are feeling so off, it’s awfully heartening to know that, hey, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSBPUYFnFO4\">Oprah’s still on</a>.</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Movies","tags":["golden globes","golden globes 2018","awards","oprah","oprah winfrey","me too"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"The highlights and lowlights from the first awards show of a new era.","seoTitle":"Oprah Almost Saves the Day at the Golden Globes","seoDescription":"The highlights and lowlights from the first awards show of a new era.","socialTitle":"Oprah Almost Saves the Day at the Golden Globes","socialDescription":"The highlights and lowlights from the first awards show of a new era.","issueDate":"","rubric":"Golden Globes 2018","promoHed":"Oprah Almost Saves the Day at the Golden Globes","promoDek":"The highlights and lowlights from the first awards show of a new era.","id":"5a53086f3122f97519bc922a","revision":16,"createdAt":"January 8, 2018 12:58 am","modifiedAt":"January 8, 2018 10:20 am","revisionCreatedAt":"January 8, 2018 10:20 am","_embedded":{"photosTout":[{"fields":{"revisionAuthor":"Lauren Jones","filename":"Oprah-Speech-Globes.jpg","aspectRatios":{"master":{"width":1440,"height":960,"format":"JPEG","duration":null,"url":"https://cn-copilot-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/vf/production/2018/01/08/5a52ea0fb370872d0d1caa52_Oprah-Speech-Globes.jpg"},"3:2":{"override":false,"height":960,"width":1440,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":960,"width":1440,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"5:3":{"override":false,"height":864,"width":1440,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":864,"width":1440,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"2:3":{"override":false,"height":960,"width":640,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":960,"width":640,"x":400,"y":0}},"duration":null},"9:16":{"override":false,"height":960,"width":540,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":960,"width":540,"x":450,"y":0}},"duration":null},"7:3":{"override":false,"height":615,"width":1435,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":615,"width":1435,"x":2.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"16:9":{"override":false,"height":810,"width":1440,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":810,"width":1440,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"4:3":{"override":false,"height":960,"width":1280,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":960,"width":1280,"x":80,"y":0}},"duration":null},"1:1":{"override":false,"height":960,"width":960,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":960,"width":960,"x":240,"y":0}},"duration":null}},"title":"nup_181044_5250.jpg","credit":"By Paul Drinkwater/NBCUniversal/Getty Images.","cropMode":"TOP","meta":{"collectionName":"photos","modelName":"photo","publishable":false,"identifiable":false,"image":true,"archived":false,"hallable":false,"hierarchical":false},"restrictCropping":false,"id":"5a52ea0fb370872d0d1caa53","revision":2,"createdAt":"January 7, 2018 10:48 pm","modifiedAt":"January 8, 2018 8:22 am","revisionCreatedAt":"January 8, 2018 8:22 am","caption":"","tags":[],"altText":"nup_181044_5250.jpg","description":"Getty; 902753384","modelName":"photo","collection":"photos"}}],"contributorsAuthor":[{"fields":{"bio":"Richard Lawson is a columnist for Vanity Fair&#39;s Hollywood, reviewing film and television and covering entertainment news and gossip.

For instance, how closely will he follow the example <strong>Seth Meyers</strong> set Sunday night at the <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-seth-meyers-monologue-speech-intro\">Golden Globes</a>? What if there’s another <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/jimmy-kimmel-oscars-2017-best-picture-moonlight-denzel-washington\">envelope crisis</a>? <em>Should</em> <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/meryl-streep-thinks-oprah-has-to-run-for-president\">run for president</a>?</p>\n<p>These are just a few burning questions plaguing the host&#8212;but thankfully, it looks like Kimmel has sound answers for all of them, which he shared Monday morning at a T.C.A. panel.</p>\n<p>Meyers’s Golden Globes performance was largely successful: his monologue drew a solid amount of laughter, especially considering the dour context that surrounds this awards season, and the night went off largely without a hitch. It was a hopeful evening that was both respectfully topical and celebratory of all the art produced in the television and film worlds this year. It figures, then, that, according to <em>V.F.</em>’s <strong>Joanna Robinson,</strong> who was present at the T.C.A. panel, Kimmel&#8212;whose writers’ room will include four women and seven men, including himself&#8212;said he plans to follow that lead. At least, “unless there’s a nuclear weapon headed toward Sacramento. Then we’ll probably go to that.”</p>\n<p>One potential hitch for Kimmel? His long-running friendship with the recently <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/12/matt-damon-sexual-misconduct-comments\">gaffe-prone <strong>Matt Damon,</strong></a> whom Kimmel has long framed on his show as his <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/matt-damon-jimmy-kimmel-oscars-finale-final-bit-cut\">Hollywood nemesis</a>. When asked about Damon’s repeated flubs, Kimmel offered this: “I hope that we’re focused on something else two months from now. But if there’s a chance for me to give Matt an elbow in the ribs, I’ll do so.” Then he said, “Matt Damon was born a joke, as far as I’m concerned.”</p>\n<p>And though Kimmel’s late-night show has become more political over the past several months, in the wake of his newborn son’s health scare and the mass shooting in his hometown of Las Vegas, it seems the comedian is unlikely to bring politics to the Oscars. He will not, for instance, use the event as a platform to stump for health care&#8212;because ultimately, “you have to remember why you’re there,” he said. There is a good reason for Kimmel to tell a few <strong>Donald Trump</strong> jokes, though; as Kimmel admitted, half of the people gathered during these events have not seen the films they’re ostensibly celebrating, which means jokes that get too specific can fall flat. By contrast, everyone is watching the Trump show unfold.</p>\n<p>But what if there’s another envelope incident like last year&#8212;when <em>La La Land</em> almost took home best picture instead of the rightful winner, <em>Moonlight</em>? If that happens, Kimmel joked, “everyone at ABC should be fired.” (Personally, though, the comedian confessed he’d be tickled.) Still, he couldn’t help but point out that last year, “99 percent of the show went pretty well. I don’t think of it as the Titanic-caliber disaster.”</p>\n<p>The most important question Kimmel had to grapple with, however, concerned Oprah&#8212;specifically, what he made of his fellow host’s potential run for president. Kimmel confirmed that he personally has no plans to run for any office, anytime, ever&#8212;and he also identified a potential reservation where Oprah’s possible electoral run is concerned: “We would have to call her President Winfrey, you realize that,” Kimmel joked. “We would have to start using the word ‘Winfrey.’ And I don’t know if we’re prepared for that as a country.”</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Television","tags":["oscars","awards","jimmy kimmel","seth meyers","oprah winfrey"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"As he prepares to host the Oscars in March, the comedian said he plans to follow Seth Meyers’s Golden Globes example&#8212;”unless there’s a nuclear weapon headed toward Sacramento.”","seoTitle":"Jimmy Kimmel Has One Reservation About an Oprah Winfrey Presidency","seoDescription":"As he prepares to host the Oscars in March, the comedian said he plans to follow Seth Meyers’s Golden Globes example—”unless there’s a nuclear weapon headed toward Sacramento.”","socialTitle":"Jimmy Kimmel Has One Reservation About an Oprah Winfrey Presidency","socialDescription":"As he prepares to host the Oscars in March, the comedian said he plans to follow Seth Meyers’s Golden Globes example—”unless there’s a nuclear weapon headed toward Sacramento.”","issueDate":"","rubric":"Coming Soon","promoHed":"Jimmy Kimmel Has One Reservation About an Oprah Winfrey Presidency","promoDek":"As he prepares to host the Oscars in March, the comedian said he plans to follow Seth Meyers’s Golden Globes example&#8212;”unless there’s a nuclear weapon headed toward Sacramento.”","id":"5a53a7df962df12d147a5b09","revision":10,"createdAt":"January 8, 2018 12:18 pm","modifiedAt":"January 8, 2018 1:30 pm","revisionCreatedAt":"January 8, 2018 1:30 pm","_embedded":{"photosTout":[{"fields":{"revisionAuthor":"Laura Bradley","filename":"Kimmel-Oprah-Reservations.jpg","aspectRatios":{"master":{"width":1547,"height":1029,"format":"JPEG","duration":null,"url":"https://cn-copilot-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/vf/production/2018/01/08/5a53af69cf246821e3ae4df0_Kimmel-Oprah-Reservations.jpg"},"3:2":{"override":false,"height":1028,"width":1542,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1028,"width":1542,"x":2.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"5:3":{"override":false,"height":927,"width":1545,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":927,"width":1545,"x":1,"y":0}},"duration":null},"2:3":{"override":false,"height":1029,"width":686,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1029,"width":686,"x":430.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"9:16":{"override":false,"height":1024,"width":576,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1024,"width":576,"x":485.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"7:3":{"override":false,"height":663,"width":1547,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":663,"width":1547,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"16:9":{"override":false,"height":864,"width":1536,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":864,"width":1536,"x":5.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"4:3":{"override":false,"height":1029,"width":1372,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1029,"width":1372,"x":87.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"1:1":{"override":false,"height":1029,"width":1029,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1029,"width":1029,"x":259,"y":0}},"duration":null}},"title":"775088302VD003_2018_Winter_","credit":"By Frederick M.

DeMille award in a rousing speech that received the greatest standing ovation of the Golden Globes, <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> confessed that she didn’t even think she deserved the honor when someone from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association initially reached out to her last year.</p>\n<p>“When they first called me . . . I said, ‘I shouldn’t be the person to get the Cecil B. DeMille award,’” Winfrey told press in the media room backstage. “I was working with <strong>Reese Witherspoon</strong> this past spring or winter [on <strong>Ava DuVernay’s</strong> adaptation of <em>A Wrinkle in Time</em>] and . . . one day, in the makeup trailer, I asked her, ‘How many movies have you made?’ She said, [<em>in a Southern accent like Witherspoon</em>] ‘Oh, honey child, I have done so many I don’t even know.’ I thought, ‘O.K., well I’ve made five’ . . . When it comes to film, I am really the new kid on the block, and I always feel like when I am acting, I was out of my comfort zone.”</p>\n<p>After it was explained to Winfrey that she did in fact qualify for the award because of her extraordinary media career, she humbly accepted the honor.</p>\n<p>Backstage, Winfrey continued the master class she began during her acceptance speech as only Oprah can&#8212;awing the reporters so much that they stopped typing, stood and clapped, and some even approached after the Q&amp;A for selfies. Asked about the greatest lesson she had learned, she recounted the story of Maya Angelou telling her, “When people show you who they are, you should believe them the first time. Your problem is it takes you 29 times to learn that lesson from someone wearing a different skirt or a different pair of pants.” Winfrey said that she has had to learn to “assess other people’s actions” in both business and her personal life. Talking to journalists as though they were girlfriends, she added, “When someone talks to you about other people, know that they’re talking about you behind your back, too.”</p>\n<p>One reporter dropped all semblance of professional responsibility to ask for advice on pursuing his dream career in film.</p>\n<p>“Do the work that comes from the soul of you,” Winfrey said, launching into another lesson without missing a beat. “The stories that you grew up with that bring you passion, that you not only yearn to tell [but] if you don’t tell them, they won’t be told. The single greatest wisdom I received, other than what I already told you, is that the key to fulfillment, success, and contentment in life is aligning your personality with what your soul came to do . . . when you can use your personality to serve what that thing is, you can be successful . . . I would say all the great, wonderful experiences of my life have come from working on the interior of myself.” Pointing to herself, she added, “That is why this feels so authentic, because it actually is.”</p>\n<p>On the subject of advice&#8212;what else are you going to ask Oprah for when you have her captive?&#8212;Winfrey also offered the lesson she would teach her 7-year-old self.</p>\n<p>“Seven-year-old Oprah . . . I was so sad. All of my real love came from my teachers,” said Winfrey. “I would say this to anyone in this room: You have no idea the power of noticing another human being and what it feels like when somebody knows that they have been seen by you. It is the greatest offering you can give.”</p>\n<p>She said that she came to learn this particular lesson after hundreds of interviews on her erstwhile show, when everyone from convicted murderers to doctors “to <strong>Beyoncé</strong>” would say the very same thing the moment the interview was over and the camera was off.</p>\n<p>“They would say the same thing: ‘How was that?’ I started to see that there was this common thread in our humanity. Everyone wants to know, ‘how was that,’ ‘did you hear me,’ and ‘did what I say mean something to you.’ I would have to say that recognizing that in other people has helped me become a person of compassion . . . who can interview anyone about anything, because I know the core of you is the core of me.”</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Award Season","tags":["awards","golden globes","oprah"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"The media mogul spoke to press after giving a rousing speech in acceptance of the Cecil B.

The star was being honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award, which was presented to her by <strong>Reese Witherspoon,</strong> her co-star in the upcoming Disney film <em>A Wrinkle in Time.</em></p>\n<p>Winfrey began her speech by remembering the time she saw <strong>Sidney Poitier</strong> win an Oscar in 1964. “Up to the stage came the most elegant man I had ever seen,” she said. “I had never seen a black man being celebrated like that . . . I tried many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats, as my mom came through the door bone-tired from cleaning other people’s houses.”</p>\n<p>She then brought the moment full circle. “It’s not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award.”</p>\n<p>Winfrey went on to thank the friends and collaborators who have impacted and influenced her, including <strong>Quincy Jones,</strong> <strong>Gayle King,</strong> and <strong>Stedman Graham.</strong> She also touted the importance of a free press that is currently “under siege,” echoing last year’s winner, <strong>Meryl Streep,</strong> who dedicated the <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/01/meryl-streep-donald-trump-golden-globes-speech\">majority of her speech</a> to elegantly slamming <strong>Donald Trump</strong> (without ever saying his name).</p>\n<p>Winfrey then began speaking about the current reckoning sweeping through Hollywood, celebrating the #MeToo movement. “I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse and assault, because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue,” she said.</p>\n<p>This year’s Golden Globes has been an unusual one, thanks to the ongoing conversation about sexual abuse towards women in the film industry and beyond. In response to that, nearly all of the night’s attendees wore black to the ceremony, while many actresses&#8212;including Witherspoon, <strong>Emma Stone,</strong> Meryl Streep, and more&#8212;brought activists as their dates to the ceremony, such as <strong>Tarana Burke,</strong> the founder of the #MeToo movement, tennis icon <strong>Billie Jean King,</strong> and <strong>Ai-jen Poo,</strong> the executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Winfrey made sure to fully nod to the inspiring tone of the night, devoting much of her speech to Recy Taylor&#8212;who died just 10 days ago, but has been acknowledged by Hollywood recently thanks to a new documentary about her attack titled <em>The Rape of Recy Taylor.</em> “The men who tried to destroy her were never prosecuted,” Winfrey explained&#8212;but she added that she hopes Taylor died with an understanding about the newly galvanized front against sexual predators. “Their time is up,” Winfrey said, earning a standing ovation.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/588a612efd2e616fa2000016.js?autoplay=0\"></div></div><p>In her introduction, Witherspoon praised Winfrey for being an inspiring force, waxing on about how the duo spent endless hours together getting their complicated makeup done for the upcoming film <em>A Wrinkle in Time.</em> “If you can find a way to be stuck in a small space with Oprah for four hours, do it,” Witherspoon joked. “I learned everything from how to make the best English muffin to what it’s like being the only woman at a huge company.”</p>\n<p>She also, of course, praised the star’s immaculate hugs. “Oprah’s hugs could end wars, solve world peace . . . it’s that good,” Witherspoon gushed. “When she hugs you, it’s the greatest thing ever. Just ask <strong>Gayle [King],</strong> she’ll agree.”</p>\n<p>Here is Winfrey’s full speech below:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“Thank you, Reese. In 1964, I was a little girl siting on the linoleum\nfloor of my mom’s house in Milwaukee watching Anne Bancroft present\nthe Oscar for best actor . . . she opened the envelope and said five\nwords that literally made history: the winner is Sidney Poitier. Up to\nthe stage came the most elegant man I had ever seen. I remember his\ntie was white and, of course, his skin was black. I had never seen a\nblack man being celebrated like that . . . I tried many, many times to\nexplain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching\nfrom the cheap seats, as my mom came through the door bone-tired from\ncleaning other people’s houses . . . But all I can say is quote “amen,\namen.”</p>\n<p>In 1982, Sidney received the Cecil B. DeMille ward right here . . .\nit’s not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls\nwatching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award.\nIt is an honor. It is an honor, and it is a privilege to share the\nevening with all of them and the the incredible men and women who’ve\ninspired me, who’ve challenged me, who sustained me and made my\njourney to this stage possible. <strong>Dennis Swanson</strong> who took a chance on me\nfor AM Chicago. <strong>Quincy Jones,</strong> who saw me on that show and said to\n<strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> yes, she is Sofia in the <em>Color Purple.</em> Gayle who has been the definition of what a friend is. <strong>Stedman,</strong> who’s\nbeen my rock. Just a few to name.</p>\n<p>I’d like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, because we\nall know the press is under siege today, but we also know that it is\nthe insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps\nups from turning a blind eye to corruption and injustice to tyrants\nand victims and secrets and lies. I want to say that I value the press\nmore than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times,\nwhich brings me to this. What I know for sure is that speaking your\ntruth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud\nand inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and\nempowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of\nus in this room are celebrated because of the stories that we tell.\nAnd this year we became the story. But it’s not just a story affecting\nthe entertainment industry. It’s one that transcends any culture,\ngeography, race, religion, politics, and workplace. So I want tonight to\nexpress gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse and\nassault, because they, like, my mother had children to feed and bills\nto pay and dreams to pursue. They’re the women whose names we’ll never\nknow. They are domestic workers and farm workers. They are working in\nfactories and they work in restaurants, and academia and engineering\nand tech and politics and business.</p>\n<p>And there’s someone else. Recy Taylor. A name I know and I think you\nshould, too. In 1942, Recy Taylor was a young wife and a mother. She\nwas just walking home from a church service she’d attended in Alabama\nwhen she was abducted by six armed white men, raped, and left by the\nside of the road. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone.\nBut her story was reported to the NAACP where a young worker by the\nname of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case. They\nsought justice. But justice wasn’t an option in the era of Jim Crow.\nThe men who tried to destroy her were never persecuted. Recy Taylor\ndied 10 days ago, just shy of her 98th bday. She lived, as we all\nlived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men.\nFor too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dared to\nspeak their truth to the power of those men. But their time is up.\nTheir time is up. Your time is up. And I just hope, I just hope that\nRecy Taylor died knowing that her truth, like the truth of so many\nother women who were tormented in those years and even now tormented,\ngoes marching on. It was somewhere in Rosa Parks’s heart almost 11\nyears later when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in\nMontgomery. And it’s here with every women who chooses to say ‘Me\ntoo.’ And every man who chooses to listen. In my career, what I’ve\nalways tried my best to do whether on television or film is to say\nsomething about how men and women really behave. Just say how we\nexpereience shame . . . how we fail, retreat, persevere, and how we\novercome.</p>\n<p>A new day is on the horizon! But when that new day finally dawns, it\nwill be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right\nhere in this room tonight and some phenomenal men who are fighting\nhard to make sure they . . . leaders who take us to the time when\nnobody has to say me too again. Thank you.”</p>\n</blockquote>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Award Season","tags":["awards","oprah","golden globes","golden globes 2018","cecil b. demille award"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"“For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men.

Oprah would always be my first choice. . . . If she’d do it, she’d be fantastic,” he said, adding, “she’s popular, she’s brilliant, she’s a wonderful woman.” Almost two decades later, Trump’s glowing praise may prove not far from the mark. Now that the ex-real-estate mogul has been installed in the White House, <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> is suddenly being semi-seriously considered as his Democratic challenger following an electrifying speech during Sunday night’s <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-oprah-winfrey-cecil-b-demille-acceptance-speech\">Golden Globes</a>. Making reference to a “culture broken by brutally powerful men,” Winfrey told the audience that “for too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. But their time is up.” She concluded with the promise that “a new day is on the horizon” for those who have been oppressed, earning a standing ovation.</p>\n<p>Though another candidate borne of reality television might seem like a stretch, polling data suggests otherwise. Winfrey’s popularity <a href=\"https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2436\">vastly outstrips</a> that of her hypothetical opponent, and according to the University of Maryland, her endorsement of <strong>Barack Obama</strong> netted him <a href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-maryland-students-study-oprah-endorsement-earned-obama-votes/\">over a million votes</a> in 2008. Indeed, following her speech even seasoned political reporters and commentators took it upon themselves to <a href=\"https://www.axios.com/instantly-oprah-2020-er-1515407190-d8e7b074-8841-4f3a-8bfd-e89f11357c59.html\">weigh her viability</a> in a potential 2020 matchup. It’s a tempting thought: in a time of intensifying polarization and ubiquitous social-media use, billionaire celebrities come with clout and reach intact. But the case for Oprah 2020 is quietly damning for Democrats, who risk taking the wrong lesson from Trump’s 2016 upset.</p>\n<p>Though Winfrey’s name has surfaced in past election cycles, she has <a href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/18/politics/oprah-not-running-in-2020/index.html\">stated</a> repeatedly that she has no inclination to run for president&#8212;“I would bet my first, second-born, and any unborn children to come, that ain’t never happening,” her friend <strong>Gayle King</strong> said in a March <a href=\"http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/08/gayle-king-oprah-president/\">interview</a>, adding, “never. I’ll say never on this one. Nevah, N-E-V-A-H. Nevah.” But as of Monday morning, Winfrey seems to be softening toward the prospect, with CNN’s <strong>Brian Stelter</strong> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/950382312742469633\">reporting</a> that two of her close friends said she is “actively thinking” of running for president in 2020.</p>\n<p>It can be tempting, too, to fall back on an outsider candidate: perhaps it takes someone equally unorthodox to conquer an anomaly such as Trump, as demonstrated by <strong>Hillary Clinton’s</strong> struggle to firm up a line of attack against the real-estate mogul. Though Winfrey has no discernible position on key issues at play in American politics&#8212;health care, immigration, welfare reform, the Middle East&#8212;that may be to her advantage, inoculating her from many of Trump’s onslaughts and earning her points with a splintered, grassroots electorate suspicious of the party elite. Ultimately, however, the presidency requires more than the competency Oprah undoubtedly possesses. It needs a candidate with civic experience, a background in governance, and a deep well of policy knowledge from which to draw. As Trump continues to demonstrate, and as he <a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-100days/exclusive-trump-says-he-thought-being-president-would-be-easier-than-his-old-life-idUSKBN17U0CA\">admitted</a> back in April, being president goes beyond giving speeches. It’s hard.</p>\n<p>Americans seem to understand this intrinsically; though her overall favorability ratings among Democrats were high, in a Quinnipiac poll in March, a majority of voters said they <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ryanstruyk/status/950400311641956353\">did not</a> want Winfrey to run for president. The fact that her speech has inspired such fervent speculation exposes the alarming weakness of the current Democratic field: <strong>Kirsten Gillibrand</strong> has <a href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-trouble-with-kirsten-gillibrand?via=twitter_page\">already drawn</a> criticism from the left; <strong>Elizabeth Warren,</strong> <a href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article192785809.html\">say Republicans</a>, would “solidify our party like nothing ever before”; <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> would be 78 should he decide to run&#8212;older than the 71-year-old <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/world/asia/trump-north-korea-dotard.html?_r=0\">dotard</a> currently in the Oval Office; and candidates with Clinton ties such as <strong>Andrew Cuomo</strong> may prove automatically radioactive. More than anything, cries of “Oprah 2020” betray Democrats’ fears that a traditional candidate can never win against Trump, despite his daily degradation of the office of the presidency.</p>\n<div

Threatened to Break Her Kneecaps","body":"<p><strong>Update (Feb. 8, 4:10 p.m.):</strong>  A spokesperson on behalf of Harvey Weinstein has sent <em>Vanity Fair</em> a statement in response to Hayek’s comments. Though he “deeply apologizes for any pain she has suffered as a result of his behavior or comments,” he denies ever fighting with her or threatening her life. Here is the full statement:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“As in most collaborative projects, there was creative friction on\n<em>Frida</em>, and in this case, it served to drive the project to\nperfection. It wasn’t an easy process and Mr. Weinstein apologizes for\nthe way he may have approached the situation. He hopes all involved\ncan at least agree that the movie was fantastic.</p>\n<p>Mr. Weinstein apologizes for his boorish behavior following a\nscreening of <em>Frida</em>; prompted by his disappointment in the cut of the\nmovie&#8212;and a reason he took a firm hand in the final edit. However, his\nconflict was with Julie Taymor not Ms. Hayek.  Mr. Weinstein never\nfought with Ms. Hayek on set and this comment does not reflect how he\nfeels about her; he doesn’t recall ever saying such an awful thing.</p>\n<p>Over the 20 years plus since the movie’s success, Ms. Hayek and Mr.\nWeinstein’s daughters have had play dates, their families have enjoyed\ntime together when running into each other on vacations, and the two\nhave had dinners where they pitched and discussed projects such as Ms.\nHayek asking Harvey to distribute her movie <em>Evelyn</em> and Mr. Weinstein\npitching her a remake of <em>The Lives of Others</em> with <strong>Penelope Cruz</strong>\nabout a South American dictatorship.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Mr. Weinstein deeply apologizes to Ms. Hayek for any\npain she has suffered as a result of his behavior or comments. Mr.\nWeinstein has great respect for her as an actress and a producer and\nthinks there are many more <em>Frida’s</em> for her to produce in the future\nand that she doesn’t need anyone to help her - She’s terrific by\nherself.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>The original post continues below.</em></p>\n<p><strong>Salma Hayek</strong> has more accusations to level against <strong>Harvey Weinstein.</strong> Just two months after writing a searing essay for <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/12/salma-hayek-harvey-weinstein-allegations\"><em>The New York Times</em></a> detailing Weinstein’s allegedly abusive behavior during the making of the Miramax-distributed 2002 biopic <em>Frida,</em> the actress shared additional disturbing allegations in an interview with <strong>Oprah Winfrey.</strong></p>\n<p>“He told me he wanted to kill me,” Hayek said, according to <a href=\"https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/salma-hayek-almost-didnt-publish-her-harvey-weinstein-story-i-felt-like-my-pain-was-small-1082973\"><em>The Hollywood Reporter.</em></a> “He said to [<em>Frida</em> director] <strong>Julie Taymor,</strong> ‘I am going to break the kneecaps of that c-word.’”</p>\n<p>Their Wednesday afternoon conversation was part of a live recording of Winfrey’s OWN podcast, <em>Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations,</em> taped at the Apollo Theater in New York City. Hayek also said that the <em>Times</em> originally approached her about Weinstein months ago, but she initially shied away from sharing her accusations. “There was all this turmoil, and I started crying when they asked, and I ended up not doing it,” she said. “And then I felt ashamed that I was a coward. I was supporting women for two decades, and then I was a coward.”</p>\n<p>Hayek minimized her own allegations and her own pain, she said, partly because Weinstein “was not the first guy to do this to me.”</p>\n<p>“I was really smart around him,” she continued. “I handled it really well. And maybe that’s why he didn’t rape me.”</p>\n<p>Representatives for Weinstein have not responded to <em>Vanity Fair</em>’s request for comment, though through a spokesperson, Weinstein has previously denied all claims of nonconsensual sex.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/5a625241148bb001d900000f.js?autoplay=0\"></div></div><p>Some of what Hayek told Winfrey echoes her original <em>Times</em> essay. In that piece, the Oscar-nominated actress claimed Weinstein told her, among other things, “I will kill you&#8212;don’t think I can’t.” Hayek painted a portrait of a brutal, heavy-handed producer who allegedly physically and verbally assaulted her, sexually harassed her, propositioned her for oral sex, and forced her to do a full-frontal nude sex scene in the film, even though it was not part of the original script. Hayek joins <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/harvey-weinstein-accusers-sexual-harassment-assault-rose-mcgowan-ashley-judd-gwyneth-paltrow\">the dozens of women</a> who have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault, including stars like <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/gwyneth-paltrow-angelina-jolie-harvey-weinstein\"><strong>Gwyneth Paltrow,</strong> <strong>Angelina Jolie,</strong></a> <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/lupita-nyongo-harvey-weinstein-sexual-assault\"><strong>Lupita Nyong’o,</strong></a> <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/10/ashley-judd-rose-mcgowan-harvey-weinstein-sexual-harassment\"><strong>Ashley Judd,</strong></a> and more.</p>\n<p>Weinstein responded to Hayek’s <em>Times</em> piece by <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/12/harvey-weinstein-statement-salma-hayek\">issuing a robust denial</a> of her claims. “All of the sexual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate and others who witnessed the events have a different account of what transpired,” part of the statement reads. Representatives for Hayek did not respond to <em>V.F.</em>’s request for comment regarding Weinstein’s denial.</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Movies","tags":["salma hayek","harvey

<em>Vanity Fair</em> Hollywood Issue Cover Is Here","body":"<p>The Queen. Wonder Woman. Oprah. This year’s <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/hollywood-issue-portfolio\">Hollywood cover features</a>\nsome of film and television’s most iconic and beloved women (and the\nroster of men&#8212;Han Solo, anyone?&#8212;isn’t too shabby, either).\nUnsurprisingly, managing to assemble the group of 13 cover stars for the\nultra-glam, white-tie-and-shimmery-gown shoot was no simple feat.</p>\n<p>Photographed in Los Angeles and New York by Annie Leibovitz, this year’s\ncover marks the last one in the 25-year tenure of <em>Vanity Fair</em> editor\nGraydon Carter. And yes, Carter&#8212;nestled between Wonder Woman herself,\nGal Gadot, and New York institution Robert De Niro&#8212;appears on the\ncover for the first time ever. “We wanted to celebrate all things\nGraydon on this cover,” <em>V.F.</em> creative director (fashion and style)\nJessica Diehl explained. Said Annie Leibovitz, “In honor of Graydon, we\nwent to the full white-tie . . . which is his style.”</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/hollywood-issue-portfolio\">Go Inside the Hollywood Issue for full coverage and more photos.</a></h2>\n<p>Part of the fun of soaking up a <em>Vanity Fair</em> Hollywood cover is imagining\nwhat went on during the photo session. Who whispered to whom? Who made\nwhom laugh? Who exchanged phone numbers and followed each other on\nInstagram the next day? This year, our Hollywood Portfolio is composed\nof photos from behind the scenes of the shoot. “It’s an insider look\ninto the magic of what goes on at this special cover shoot,” said Jane\nSarkin, <em>V.F.</em> features editor. “It’s always been a very closed set.” We\nget to see Tom Hanks crack up Oprah and Reese Witherspoon (perhaps\npitching himself for an arc on the second season of <em>Big Little Lies</em>?).\nWe get to see Nicole Kidman have her luminous hair touched up. (We\nalways assumed cartoon bluebirds dressed and prepped Kidman, but\napparently humans do it.) We get to see the charming De Niro having his\ncollar adjusted, the ethereal Jessica Chastain awaiting the lens, and\nthe serene Michael Shannon surveying the scene.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/5a6947a12d1ca07df5000031.js?autoplay=0\"></div></div><p>The selection of stars from a variety of age brackets also sets this\nyear’s installment apart. “This is what is great about Hollywood,”\n<em>V.F.</em> executive West Coast editor Krista Smith said, “where you can have\nMichael B. Jordan, who’s 30, or Gal Gadot, who’s 32, or Harrison Ford,\nwho is 75&#8212;all of them are totally relevant.” Zendaya, 21, expressed\nthe excitement she felt, surrounded by so many legends on set: “I’m\nlike this little kid. ‘Hey, I’m coming up.’ You know, it’s pretty cool.\nI just want to keep working and live up to the people I’m surrounded\nby.” Witherspoon&#8212;who has appeared on several <em>V.F.</em> Hollywood\ncovers&#8212;reflected on what this means to an actor: “Being on the cover\nof <em>Vanity Fair</em> was just sort of this incredible moment that validated\nall that work. . . . You really feel it can give you the momentum that\nyou need to push forward and to do great things.”</p>\n<div class=\"callout large has-pullquote\" data-type=\"callout\"><div class=\"embed pullquote\" data-type=\"pullquote\"><span><blockquote>\n<p>MANAGING TO ASSEMBLE THE GROUP OF 13 COVER STARS WAS NO SIMPLE FEAT.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</span><div class=\"component-social-share pullquote mono closed\" data-component=\"SocialShare\"><div class=\"share-item twitter\" data-href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0AMANAGING%20TO%20ASSEMBLE%20THE%20GROUP%20OF%2013%20COVER%20STARS%20WAS%20NO%20SIMPLE%20FEAT.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-component=\"twitter\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0AMANAGING%20TO%20ASSEMBLE%20THE%20GROUP%20OF%2013%20COVER%20STARS%20WAS%20NO%20SIMPLE%20FEAT.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-pin-do=\"\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Twitter\"><span class=\"icon\"></span><span class=\"label\">Twitter</span></a></div></div></div></div><p>As one gazes at the photos of these actors and actresses on set, waiting\nin anticipation of their moment in front of the lens, it feels like\nyou’re right there with them.

Which, apparently, left him plenty of time to enjoy this year’s Golden Globes.</p>\n<p>For the foreword to the updated paperback version of his book <em>Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Nationalist Uprising,</em> Bloomberg journalist <strong>Josh Green</strong> joined Bannon to watch the ceremony. And as actresses in <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-red-carpet-times-up\">black dresses</a> paraded down the runway and <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-red-carpet-times-up\">speeches</a> were given decrying the backwards attitudes pervasive in Hollywood, Bannon reportedly saw a turning point.</p>\n<p>“It’s a Cromwell moment!” Bannon <a href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/09/media/steve-bannon-times-up-movement-devils-bargain/index.html\">shouted</a> to Green, according to a copy of the text obtained by CNN, referencing the 17th-century militaristic dictator. “It’s even more powerful than populism. It’s deeper. It’s primal. It’s elemental. The long black dresses and all that&#8212;this is the Puritans! It’s anti-patriarchy.”</p>\n<p>Bannon noted <strong>Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s</strong> rapt attention on <strong>Oprah</strong> during her Cecil B. DeMille Award <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/01/golden-globes-2018-oprah-winfrey-cecil-b-demille-acceptance-speech\">acceptance speech</a>. “He’s ruined his career,” Bannon said, according to Green. “If you rolled out a guillotine, they’d chop off every set of balls in the room.” He also ruled that Oprah, should she decide to get involved in the 2018 midterms, could pose a legitimate threat, ushering in a wave of activism that could assist Democrats in taking back the House of Representatives.</p>\n<p>&quot;You watch,” Bannon is quoted as saying. “The time has come. Women are gonna take charge of society. And they couldn’t juxtapose a better villain than Trump. He is the patriarch. This is a definitional moment in the culture. It’ll never be the same going forward . . . The anti-patriarchy movement is going to undo 10,000 years of recorded history.”</p>","channel":"Style","subChannel":"Celebrity","tags":["steve

North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”</p>\n<p>The couple&#39;s new daughter is healthy and weighs in at 7 pounds and 6 ounces. It&#39;s unclear where the birth occurred, though TMZ notes that the couple&#39;s surrogate, who has been unnamed in the media, was previously said to be living in San Diego.</p>\n<p>Kardashian and West, who are already parents to daughter <strong>North</strong>, 4, and son <strong>Saint</strong>, 2, announced that they were expecting another child earlier this year, confirming the rumors that had been circulating for months.

While telling a story about her cherry blossom&#8211;filled baby shower, Kardashian mogul inadvertently revealed that North had started referring to the new addition as “Baby Sister,” and didn&#39;t realize her slip-up until DeGeneres pointed it out. Later in the interview, Kardashian talked about how her kids were feeling about gaining a new younger sibling. “North is finally&#8212;she&#39;s really excited about that,” she said, noting that it had been “a little trickier” to get the toddler excited about having a younger brother.</p>\n<p>Before Baby #3 arrived, Kardashian also opened up about what it was like to use a surrogate after carrying her first two children herself. (Her doctor recommended surrogacy after she experienced placenta accreta and preeclampsia with both North and Saint.) “Anyone that says or thinks [surrogacy] is just the easy way out is just completely wrong.

These people say the president is increasingly frustrated that members of his administration aren’t going to war for him, and he’s being encouraged by his daughter <strong>Ivanka</strong> to bring in new blood. “The president’s view is that allies on the outside are doing a better job defending him than his political shop,” one Republican close to the White House told me. Another outside adviser who regularly speaks with Trump said that the president is regretting some of his Cabinet choices. “He’s saying he should have put <strong>Rudy [Giuliani]</strong> at State and <strong>Chris Christie</strong> at Justice.”</p>\n<p>Trump has recently told advisers he wants a “killer” to steer <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/trump-lawyers-mueller-interview\">the White House’s response</a> to <strong>Robert Mueller’s</strong> investigation and craft a midterm election message for him to stump on this fall. For Trump, there’s a growing urgency to fill the role. His efforts to stymie Mueller’s probe have so far failed, and the specter of impeachment looms if Democrats win back the House in November. Ivanka, who’s been frustrated with Chief of Staff <strong>John Kelly,</strong> has told her father that he needs people around him that will put his interests above their own. “She wants to clean house,” a Trump friend told me. “Her view is J.F.K. had Bobby there to have his back.”</p>\n<p>The president’s top choice for the <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/former-white-house-staffers-aj-delgado-jason-miller-had-a-baby\">strategist position is <strong>Jason Miller,</strong></a> who served as communications director for Trump’s presidential campaign. “He wants a killer, and Jason is a killer,” an outside adviser to the White House told me. Trump had wanted Miller to join the administration during the transition, but Miller withdrew after it was <a href=\"https://pagesix.com/2017/08/09/ex-trump-staffers-reveal-love-child-after-campaign-trail-sex-scandal/\">revealed</a> he had an extramarital affair during the campaign with former Trump aide <strong>A.J. Delgado.</strong></p>\n<p>In Miller, Trump sees an aggressive operator who could potentially fill a vacuum created last August by the departure of former chief strategist <strong>Steve Bannon.</strong> Trump hasn’t forged a close relationship with <strong>Bill Stepien,</strong> the current White House political director. “Stepien is more of an introvert, he’s a tactical guy,” one outside Trump adviser said. Current White House Communications Director <strong>Hope Hicks</strong> primarily functions as Trump’s gatekeeper (and is now <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/us/politics/trump-russia-hope-hicks-mueller.html\">deeply embroiled</a> in the Russia probe). In recent weeks, Trump has publicly <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/are-trump-and-kelly-heading-for-divorce\">clashed</a> with Chief of Staff John Kelly after Kelly took a more active role in White House policymaking and messaging. One Republican close to the White House described Trump’s frustration with Kelly, who came to the office with zero political experience, this way: “It’s like Kelly views Trump as a mushroom. He wants to keep him in the dark and feed him a bunch of shit.”</p>\n<p>Without a close confidant on the inside with whom he can plot strategy, Trump has turned to outside advisers for counsel. According to sources, Trump speaks regularly by phone with a braintrust that includes <strong>Sean Hannity,</strong> Jason Miller, <strong>Corey Lewandowski,</strong> <strong>Reince Priebus,</strong> and R.N.C. Chairwoman <strong>Ronna Romney McDaniel.</strong> According to sources, Miller has advised Trump to push for an immigration deal that shows real progress towards building the Wall, the theory being that getting a win on immigration will mobilize the base in November. Instead, they want him to sign an extension for DACA so that immigration is a midterm election issue (the theory being that putting immigration on the ballot will mobilize the base). Miller also has told Trump that he performs best when he can draw a stark contrast with his opponent. Miller wants Trump to make the midterms a choice between the Trump agenda and <strong>Nancy Pelosi,</strong> a race that mirrors the 2016 campaign against <strong>Hillary Clinton.</strong></p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/5a05f8c9148bb04c0900001f.js?muted=1\"></div></div><p>Trump hasn’t offered Miller a job, sources said. But allies of the president have been feeling Miller out. Miller has so far been reluctant to take a White House job because he’s told people he needs to earn a private-sector income to make child support payments to Delgado, who gave birth to Miller’s son last July. (Miller, who remains married to his wife, declined to comment. A White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.)</p>\n<p>If Miller doesn’t go to the White House, another scenario being discussed is that Trump could fill the strategist role with Lewandowski and former deputy campaign manager <strong>Dave Bossie.</strong> Both have the aggressive personality Trump favors. But neither one has anything resembling West Wing experience, and both face stiff opposition from Ivanka and <strong>Jared Kushner.</strong> “They have blocked Corey at every turn. They kept him from going into [the] family box at the inaugural,” one former campaign staffer told me. “If Corey gets back in, they’re not long for the place.”</p>","channel":"News","subChannel":"Politics","tags":["west wing","ivanka trump","donald trump","jason miller","mueller","investigation","politics"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"He pines for old campaign hands Jason Miller, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie&#8212;but will Ivanka have the final say?","seoTitle":"“He Wants a Killer”: Post-Bannon, Post-Nunes, Post-Kelly Friction, a Frustrated Trump Searches for a West Wing Reset","seoDescription":"He pines for old campaign hands Jason Miller, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie—but will Ivanka have the final say?","socialTitle":"“He Wants a Killer”: As Memo-gate Implodes, Trump Seeks a Reset","socialDescription":"He pines for old campaign hands Jason Miller, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie—but will Ivanka have the final say?","issueDate":"","rubric":"West Wing","promoHed":"“He Wants a Killer”: As Memo-gate Implodes, Trump Seeks a Reset","promoDek":"He pines for old campaign hands Jason Miller, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie&#8212;but will Ivanka have the final say?","id":"5a79ed1a2d59c6382840c09b","revision":9,"createdAt":"February 6, 2018 12:59 pm","modifiedAt":"February 6, 2018 1:15 pm","revisionCreatedAt":"February 6, 2018 1:15 pm","_embedded":{"photosTout":[{"fields":{"revisionAuthor":"Jarondakie Patrick","filename":"donald-trump-west-wing-shakeup.jpg","aspectRatios":{"master":{"width":2000,"height":1333,"format":"JPEG","duration":null,"url":"https://cn-copilot-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/vf/production/2018/02/06/5a79eea1e270fe74de68e6de_donald-trump-west-wing-shakeup.jpg"},"3:2":{"override":false,"height":1332,"width":1998,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1332,"width":1998,"x":1,"y":0}},"duration":null},"5:3":{"override":false,"height":1200,"width":2000,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1200,"width":2000,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"2:3":{"override":false,"height":1332,"width":888,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1332,"width":888,"x":556,"y":0}},"duration":null},"9:16":{"override":false,"height":1328,"width":747,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1328,"width":747,"x":626.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"7:3":{"override":false,"height":855,"width":1995,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":855,"width":1995,"x":2.5,"y":0}},"duration":null},"16:9":{"override":false,"height":1125,"width":2000,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1125,"width":2000,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"4:3":{"override":false,"height":1332,"width":1776,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1332,"width":1776,"x":112,"y":0}},"duration":null},"1:1":{"override":false,"height":1333,"width":1333,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":1333,"width":1333,"x":333.5,"y":0}},"duration":null}},"title":"donald-trump-west-wing-shakeup.jpg","credit":"By Kevin Lamarque/Reuters.","cropMode":"TOP","meta":{"collectionName":"photos","modelName":"photo","publishable":false,"identifiable":false,"image":true,"archived":false,"hallable":false,"hierarchical":false},"restrictCropping":false,"id":"5a79eea1e270fe74de68e6df","revision":2,"createdAt":"February 6, 2018 1:06 pm","modifiedAt":"February 6, 2018 1:15 pm","revisionCreatedAt":"February 6, 2018 1:15 pm","caption":"Donald Trump speaks during an interview with Reuters, January 17, 2018.","tags":[],"altText":"Donald Trump speaks during an interview with Reuters, January 17, 2018.","description":"Reuters: RTX4DFJL","modelName":"photo","collection":"photos"}}],"contributorsAuthor":[{"fields":{"revisionAuthor":"Jarondakie Patrick","name":"Gabriel Sherman","bio":"Gabriel Sherman is a special correspondent for <em>Vanity Fair.</em> Most recently, Sherman served as national-affairs editor at <em>New York</em> magazine, and he is a regular contributor to NBC News and MSNBC.

A second source confirmed that Trump has vented about Kelly, mentioning one call in which Trump said, “This guy thinks he’s running the show.” (A White House official said “it’s categorically false that Trump is unhappy with Kelly. He’s only ever referred to him as the general, tough, can be rough, and commands respect.”)</p>\n<p>The president’s daughter and senior adviser, <strong>Ivanka Trump,</strong> is allegedly playing a central role in the search to replace Kelly, quietly field-testing new candidates for the job. The trouble, as the <em>Times</em>’s <strong>Maggie Haberman</strong> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/961263680561303552\">tweeted</a> on Wednesday, is that there are no obvious candidates to take over the White House’s most unenviable job. “Trump is continuing to tell people he is frustrated with Kelly, while folks in White House don&#39;t believe he&#39;ll ever make a change, per three people close to Trump.”</p>\n<p>While Kelly was initially hailed in the press as a moderate and a professional who might finally bring order to an unruly White House, his prominence in the media spotlight&#8212;and a number of unforced errors&#8212;have cast him in an increasingly negative light. Earlier this week, Kelly made a series of disparaging comments about undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers, <a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/kelly-dreamers-who-didnt-sign-up-for-daca-were-too-afraid-or-too-lazy/2018/02/06/01172cf6-0b66-11e8-998c-96deb18cca19_video.html\">saying</a> on Tuesday that many qualified undocumented immigrants who hadn’t signed up for DACA “were too lazy to get off their asses.” On Thursday, <a href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/08/john-kelly-deputy-chief-of-staff-397690\">Politico</a> reported that Kelly has yet to tap an official replacement for <strong>Kirstjen Nielsen,</strong> who served as his deputy after following him to the West Wing last summer, because he has struggled to find an adequate replacement. Given the trouble with Porter, and his own tenuous job prospects, the possibility of <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/he-wants-a-killer-bannon-nunes-kelly-frustrated-trump-west-wing\">further staff shake-ups</a> seems inevitable.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div

Defense of Rob Porter Roils the West Wing","body":"<p>For weeks, Donald Trump has been souring on his Chief of Staff <strong>John Kelly</strong> because of his controlling ways and rising public profile. And now Kelly is in the midst of a bonafide crisis, one that exacerbates the president’s own #MeToo problems. On Tuesday, Kelly strongly defended White House Staff Secretary <strong>Rob Porter</strong> against disturbing allegations, first published in the <a href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5362823/Ex-wife-WH-aide-dating-Hope-Hicks-says-choked-her.html\"><em>Daily Mail</em></a>, that he abused his ex-wives. Kelly’s decision to back Porter has left many people inside the White House angry, two sources with knowledge of the matter said. On Wednesday afternoon, Porter resigned. Axios <a href=\"https://www.axios.com/white-house-staff-secetary-rob-porter-resigns-abuse-allegations-9bf97afb-a59f-409f-ba74-8fb7aee20b65.html\">reported</a> Kelly wanted Porter to “stay and fight.”</p>\n<p>Yesterday, Porter’s second wife, <strong>Jennifer Willoughby,</strong> told the <em>Mail</em> that Porter called her a “fucking bitch” on their honeymoon, and once pulled her naked out of the shower. In response, Kelly put out a statement calling Porter “a man of true integrity and honor” and a “trusted professional.” But shortly after Kelly rallied behind his colleague, Porter’s first wife came forward with additional harrowing allegations. <strong>Colbie Holderness,</strong> who married Porter in 2009, told the <em>Daily Mail</em> that Porter punched her in the face and choked her, among other alleged abuses. The article included a photo of her with a black eye. “It was not hard enough for me to pass out, but it was scary, humiliating, and dehumanizing,” she said. Porter told the <em>Daily Mail</em> that the allegations were “slanderous and simply false.”</p>\n<p>Kelly’s decision to go to bat for Porter deeply frustrated White House staffers, sources told me. He was supposed to be the West Wing’s resident grown-up, but staffers are increasingly questioning Kelly’s judgment, four Republicans close to the White House told me. “It’s beyond disbelief. Everyone is trying to figure out why Kelly is leading the charge to save him,” one former West Wing official said. Another Republican said: “How many times has Kelly put out a statement defending Trump?”</p>\n<p>Sources said Kelly was so quick to defend Porter because the two have grown very close since Trump appointed Kelly chief of staff last summer. Porter, a Rhodes scholar, has helped Kelly instill discipline in the West Wing. Kelly has told people that Porter has a “calming effect” on White House operations. For instance, it’s Porter who screens all the information that gets to Trump’s desk. Porter also helped Kelly conduct a West Wing organizational study that provided Kelly with a cudgel to sideline <strong>Ivanka Trump</strong> and <strong>Jared Kushner,</strong> two former West Wing officials told me. The officials also said Kelly supported Porter even after the F.B.I. delayed granting Porter’s security clearance because they uncovered his alleged history of spousal abuse.</p>\n<p>Until now, Porter has been a low-profile player, publicly absent from the West Wing dramas. But last week, he emerged when the <em>Daily Mail</em> reported he’s dating White House Communications Director <strong>Hope Hicks.</strong> Then, on Tuesday, the paper contacted the White House with questions about Porter’s alleged battery. According to one person briefed on internal White House conversations, Kelly let it be known he wanted to defend Porter publicly. In a series of crisis meetings, the statement was drafted by Hicks, White House Press Secretary <strong>Sarah Huckabee Sanders,</strong> and Kushner’s White House spokesman, <strong>Josh Raffel.</strong> (Porter, Hicks, and Raffel attended a dinner last week that was reported in the <em>Daily Mail</em> piece.)</p>\n<p>The White House did not respond to requests for comment.</p>\n<p>Even before the blowback from the Porter statement, the White House was struggling to walk back Kelly’s inflammatory comments on immigration. Yesterday, Kelly said on Capitol Hill that some undocumented immigrants were “too lazy” to sign up for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/5a29b678148bb041df000001.js?muted=1\"></div></div>","channel":"News","subChannel":"Politics","tags":["donald trump","jon kelly","rob porter"],"ledeCaption":"","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"Staff Secretary Rob Porter, who has been accused of abusing his former wives, is Kelly’s right hand&#8212;and dating Hope Hicks, one of Trump’s closest confidantes.

They both attend Harvard, and classes were set to resume on Monday, but it was still the weekend, and an unseasonably warm day at that. Little is known about Obama’s relationship with Farquharson, a <strong>Hugh Grant</strong>-type and the son of a London banker, and out of respect for the former First Daughter’s privacy, we won’t pry too deep into their weekend outing. The only thing we’ll say is this: look at his tiny, tiny, tiny sunglasses! Look at them! If you can even see them! They’re so tiny!</p>\n<p>Once upon a time, tiny sunglasses fell betwixt the brows of so many 90s darlings. <strong>Lisa Bonet.</strong> <strong>Julia Roberts</strong> in <em>Notting Hill.</em> Aaliyah. <strong>Mary-Kate.</strong> <strong>Ashley.</strong> <strong>Gwyneth Paltrow</strong> and <strong>Brad Pitt</strong> in this <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/brad-pitt-and-gwyneth-paltrow-romance-revisited\">throwback picture</a> that will confuse the senses with the clashing sentiments of nostalgia and complete aversion. They look so cool, and yet so dated, and yet so freaky, and yet so extremely cool. If Malia Obama would be so kind to also wear the tiny sunglasses, so we can all decide if this twinning look can hold up, and deem them the Gwyneth and Brad of the modern age.</p>\n<p>If there is just one thing we can conclude about Mr. Farquharson, college boyfriend of American royalty, it’s that he listens to <strong>Kanye West.</strong> Not West’s music. <em>Vanity Fair</em> can’t verify that he listens to, like, <em>The Life of Pablo</em> at this time. We can only say that he appears to follow West’s directions, as given to his wife,  <strong>Kim Kardashian West,</strong> in the Season 13 finale of <em>Keeping Up with the Kardashians.</em> In that episode, Kim revealed that Kanye “sent me a whole e-mail like, ‘You cannot wear big glasses anymore. It’s all about tiny little glasses,’” and attached “millions of 90s photos with tiny little glasses.”</p>\n<p>These days the sisters <strong>Hadid</strong> and sisters <strong>Jenner</strong> wear the tiny glasses. <strong>Rihanna</strong> wears tiny glasses. <strong>Selena Gomez</strong> wears tiny glasses. And Rory Farquharson wears tiny glasses. Ladies and gentleman, a trend is born. Or more accurately, a trend is reincarnated.</p>","channel":"Style","subChannel":"Celebrity","tags":["malia obama","rory farquharson","new york","glass","kanye

Kim Kardashian’s Perfect Capitalist Christmas","body":"<p>Christmas has come and gone, receding in the rearview like so many other momentous days before it. But before Christmas 2017 fully fades in our memory, it’s important to assess how it all went, to take stock of how we did. Meaning, sure, how’d the roast turn out and how’d the house look done up in its many splendored lights and how’d your cousin Tyler do with the whole telling grandma that his “roommate” Randy is hopefully going to be living with Tyler until death do them part? Yes, look back on all that and figure out how it all worked out.</p>\n<p>But more important than all that stuff is rating ourselves on how we did as gift givers. Because gifts are, quite famously, the reason for the season. Whatever dim religious aspect once defined the holiday has been fully overwhelmed by the exchange of material goods, capitalism claiming this special day as it has and will all others. So, in that spirit, how’d you do? Did you give the right things? Were your gifts thoughtful and budget-appropriate? Well, hell, it’s actually cruel that I’m even posing this question, because no matter how you think you did, there’s absolutely no way you did better than <strong>Kanye West,</strong> who gave his beloved wife, <strong>Kim Kardashian,</strong> the Christmas gift to end all Christmas gifts.</p>\n<p>What do you get for the multi-hyphenate lifestyle mogul who has everything? You get her <em>more,</em> of course. <a href=\"https://pagesix.com/2017/12/26/kanye-gifts-kim-hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars-in-stocks/\">Page Six has archived</a> a Kardashian Instagram Story in which the reality star-turned-empress of the universe revealed her husband’s marvelous two-part gift. On the more humble side of things, West gave his wife a Mickey Mouse doll, gift cards to Netflix and Amazon, some Apple headphones, and some Adidas socks. Generous, if fairly pedestrian, presents. But! Then West <em>also</em> gave Kardashian stock in Apple, in Netflix, in Amazon, in Disney, in Adidas&#8212;to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of shares. Yes! Is that not the most perfect gift for our era: first, tangible symbols of how we engage with corporate megaliths, but then also some actual pieces of those megaliths! To be both half-ironic consumer and part owner! It’s rather brilliant. Shrewd and brilliant.</p>\n<p>“Best husband alert!” Kardashian captioned her Instagram Story. And she’s right, isn’t she? For surely what other husband would gift so cleverly, would be so honest&#8212;and, yes, a little playful&#8212;about the economic processes that drive us, that control us all? Sure, you could make the argument that there are more classically romantic gifts out there. Tickets to the opera, a trip to farthest Fiji, a picture of the children framed in a “#1 Mom” picture frame purchased in haste at Walgreens on Christmas Eve. But what good is romance if there is no accrued value to it in a few years’ time?</p>\n<p>A wise partner would happily accept 920 shares of Disney, 995 shares of Adidas, and however much else Kanye bought Kim&#8212;again, hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock&#8212;over some paltry and fleeting flowers, over an ephemeral afternoon with the children, over some dumb outing to the theater. Discerning lovers, <em>true</em> lovers, recognize that capital is all that binds us, that we are of the machine and for the machine, both product and fuel, chuck and oil. We grind and are ground. So why not claim ownership over some part of that system, and thus some ownership over ourselves?</p>\n<p>In essence, Kanye has given Kim a bit of herself. Having a star named after someone&#8212;not a bad gift either, if entirely impractical&#8212;is a recognition that we, just like that star, are mere jumbles of carbon, flung from space. Buying stock for someone is a similar gift. It is profound, primal, elemental. It helps define and clarify what we really are. And so, unless you got that for your loved one, same as Kanye did, I’m afraid you failed at Christmas this year. Ah well. There’s always 2018.

He is seated on drab carpeting draped over a chaise-like shape, vaguely old-world. The carpet’s mossy folds throw luxuriant shadows, and the musician upon them wears white tie and tails, a black overcoat caping his shoulders. He is relaxed, his left elbow propped on his left leg, which is hitched up on the seat, and his left cheekbone resting in his left hand as he gazes into the camera. His only visible ear, the right, is large&#8212;and as centrally positioned in the portrait as middle C. Is this a <em>fin de siècle</em> poet dressed for the theater? Is that a cigarette butt lying on the floor? Leonard Bernstein never looked more beautiful.</p>\n<p>The following year, Penn took a black-and-white photograph of another young American artist, only here the subject is wedged between two walls forming a tight V&#8212;a Penn visual trademark. This man, barefoot and wiry, wears a turtleneck and black tights cropped at the calf. His feet press against the walls, a stride that suggests the Colossus of Rhodes. Yet his torso twists in another direction, and his arms are held tightly behind his back, hidden as if handcuffed. His expression is wary. Does the Colossus mistrust the camera or himself? Leave it to Jerome Robbins to choreograph a dance of inner conflict that lasts the length of a shutter’s click.</p>\n<p>At this time, most of Penn’s subjects were middle-aged and long-established, but not these two. “Lenny” and “Jerry” were newly minted princes of the city&#8212;New York City, the postwar capital of the arts. Both were artists in love with classicism, trained in European traditions yet bending them to their new-world will. And both, in defiance of immigrant fathers who scorned the arts as a losing proposition, had their first big successes at the age of 25.</p>\n<p>Each man in his own right was astonishing. Until his death, in 1990, Leonard Bernstein would be the most important musician in America, period. His fourfold eminence as a conductor of the world’s greatest orchestras, a composer of music in myriad forms, a concert pianist, and a teacher on television and at Tanglewood added up to a matchless legacy of accessibility and eloquence, gravity and theatricality, intellectual precision and ecstatic transport. He was a telegenic musical mensch&#8212;magisterial. Jerome Robbins, who died in 1998, was less public, a watcher whose uncompromising vision as a choreographer and director&#8212;in ballet and on Broadway, in shows filmed and on television&#8212;placed the power of dance before America’s baby-boomers and their parents. A storyteller in movement, Robbins daily murdered his darlings and those of his colleagues&#8212;dance phrases that were too fancy or distracting, music, text, and emotion that were too much. Truth, moment to moment, was all that mattered. He wasn’t a mensch. He was a perfectionist whose gypsy instinct for the essential, his eye as sharp as a shiv, demanded the best in others or just go home. Few chose to go home. And certainly never Lenny.</p>\n<div class=\"callout omfg\" data-type=\"callout\"></div><p>Both these men were about energy&#8212;positive, negative, generative&#8212;and while they racked up stunning achievements separately, they were elevated when joined. Put them together in collaboration&#8212;in masterpieces such as the joyous ballet <em>Fancy Free,</em> the breakaway musical <em>On the Town,</em> and the electrifying experiment <em><a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2009/03/west-side-story-revival200903\">West Side Story</a></em>&#8212;and you had an ongoing theatrical Manhattan Project, work kinetically detonated, irreducibly true, and oh so American.</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>They were born within two months of each other, one hundred years ago, in 1918&#8212;Louis Bernstein, called “Leonard” by his parents, on August 25 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Jerome Wilson Rabinowitz on October 11 in New York City. When they first met, 25 years later, it was the kismet of kindred spirits, their upbringings variations on a theme: middle-class, Russian-Jewish, tough love from difficult fathers who were busy achieving the American Dream. Sam Bernstein did well in his own beauty-supply business, having grabbed the New England franchise for the Frederics permanent-wave machine, a device used in beauty salons, and Harry Rabinowitz, after moving the family to Weehawken, New Jersey, ran the Comfort Corset Company. While both men loved music, including the songs of the synagogue, and took pride in the accomplishments of their children (Lenny had younger siblings Shirley and Burton; Jerry an older sister, Sonia), they expected their sons to come into the family business and were horrified by the artistic ambitions blossoming in their homes. When a piano belonging to Aunt Clara was parked in the Bernstein hallway, Lenny, aged 10, found his reason to be. “I remember <em>touching</em> it,” he said, “and that was it. That was my contract with life, with God. . . . I suddenly felt at the center of a universe I could control.” For Jerry, who’d been playing violin and piano from the age of three and who began taking dance classes in high school, “art seemed like a tunnel to me. At the end of that tunnel I could see light where the world opened up, waiting for me.”</p>\n<p>Note the shared language of rapture. “Jerry just breathed theater,” says the composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who worked with both men. “Lenny had a really wonderful sense of theater, but he breathed music.”</p>\n<p>Still, there were crucial differences. Lenny’s mother, Jennie, doted and adored, while Jerry’s mother, Lena, was impossible to please (a favorite gambit: if Jerry misbehaved, she would pretend to call the orphanage with a donation&#8212;<em>him</em>). Lenny was educated at Harvard and then on scholarship at the Curtis Institute of Music. Jerry, who had to leave New York University after one year because it was too expensive, was permanently insecure about his lack of education. And when it came to being Jewish, Lenny was proud of his heritage. He cherished memories, dating back to his boyhood, of the times he and his father sang together at temple. When Serge Koussevitzky, one of the several conductors who mentored Lenny, and himself a Jew, suggested he Anglicize his name to Leonard S. Burns, he replied, “I’ll do it as Bernstein or not at all.” (Pronounced Bern-<em>stine,</em> with a long i.)</p>\n<p>For Jerry, being Jewish brought shame and fear. Asked to say his name on the first day of first grade, he began to cry. “Rabinowitz” was so <em>not</em> American. “I never wanted to be a Jew,” he would write in notes for an autobiography. “I wanted to be <em>safe,</em> protected, assimilated.” Once he began performing, his name changed program to program, from Robin Gerald to Gerald Robins to Jerry Robyns to Gerald Robin to Jerome Robbins. It is often said that Leonard Bernstein wanted everyone in the world to love him; while still in college he said as much to a close friend. Lenny lived with arms open. Jerry did not feel lovable and was deeply guarded. At the height of his mastery on Broadway he insisted that his billing include a box around his name, showcasing his contribution, protecting it, arms crossed around it.</p>\n<p>They met in October of 1943, the beginning of what Bernstein would call “the year of miracles.” Bernstein was living in New York City, marking time as the assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, and Robbins was in the classical company Ballet Theatre. Both were hungry for the Big Break, but it was hard to see anything on the horizon. Bernstein’s would come a month later, when on November 14 he took the podium at Carnegie Hall&#8212;without rehearsal!&#8212;and conducted for the ailing Bruno Walter. This kiss of fate allowed him, in one afternoon, to loosen forever Europe’s grip on the conductor’s baton. His debut made the front page of <em>The New York Times,</em> and the skinny kid, soon dubbed the Sinatra of the concert hall, soared to stardom. Two months later his Symphony No. 1, <em>Jeremiah,</em> was premiered.</p>\n<p>Robbins had to make his own luck. Though a dazzling mimic and scene-stealer in character roles, he was tired of dancing courtiers and exotics in the corps. He wanted to choreograph ballets that were immediately American. After inundating company management with over-ambitious ideas for ballets, Robbins finally offered up a timely, simple scenario&#8212;three wartime sailors on shore leave in Manhattan. Management bit. All he needed was a score, which took him to Bernstein’s studio in Carnegie Hall.</p>\n<p>On that October day in ‘43, Robbins described his ballet&#8212;not yet titled <em>Fancy Free</em>&#8212;and in answer Lenny hummed the tune he’d written on a napkin that afternoon at the Russian Tea Room. Jerry flipped. The sound was spontaneous and streetwise. “We went crazy,” Lenny recalled. “I began developing the theme right there in his presence.”</p>\n<p>“The one thing about Lenny’s music which was so tremendously important,” Robbins said later, “was that there always was a kinetic motor&#8212;there was a power in the rhythms of his work, or the change of rhythms in his work and the orchestration&#8212;which had a need for it to be demonstrated by dance.”</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>‘I remember all my collaborations with Jerry in terms of one tactile bodily feeling,” Bernstein said in 1985, “which is his hands on my shoulders, composing with his hands on my shoulders. This may be metaphorical but it’s the way I remember it. I can feel him standing behind me saying, yes, now just about four more beats there  . . .  yes, that’s it.”</p>\n<p>This was the kind of hands-on collaboration that Bernstein&#8212;who never liked being alone in a room&#8212;would always love. And it <em>wasn’t</em> metaphorical. Carol Lawrence, the original Maria in <em>West Side Story,</em> has said that “Lenny would bring in new music and he would play it for us. And Jerry would be standing over him and he’d clutch Lenny’s shoulders as if he were a musical instrument. He was always capable of coming up with a new melody, whatever Jerry needed.”</p>\n<div class=\"callout large\" data-type=\"callout\"></div><p>Key words: “standing over him.” In their relationship, Jerry was the leader, dominant, the overlord&#8212;everyone says this&#8212;and Lenny was flexible, with quick response time and an inexhaustible archive of musical forms from which to pull. Bernstein was steeped in the classical repertory, and he was a savant when it came to rhythm. “We were always embarrassed by his dancing,” says his older daughter, Jamie Bernstein. “But when it was put into the context of conducting or composing, suddenly his sense of rhythm was spectacular&#8212;it’s what gives his music a thumbprint. There’s no explaining why he had this incredible aptitude for rhythm, but it is true that he synthesized what he got out of Hebrew cantillation, and the music and dancing in that world, combined with his getting really obsessed with what were called race records, in his college years&#8212;Billie Holiday and Lead Belly&#8212;to say nothing of Stravinsky and Gershwin. Add the Latin-American thread, which came in around 1941, when he was in Key West, and he just went bananas.”</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>Because Robbins was touring with Ballet Theatre, much of the collaboration on <em>Fancy Free</em>’s score took place through the mail. Exuberance shoots through Lenny’s updates, letters of magical rapport and full of cocky confidence, just like the sailors in the ballet. A letter of late 1943: “I have written a musical double-take when the sailor sees Girl #2&#8212;has that ever been done before? And the rhythm of your pas de deux is something startling&#8212;hard at first, but oh so danceable with the pelvis!” Some friends who knew them then have said that Bernstein and Robbins had a brief affair. Others say not. But this was one more thing that Lenny and Jerry had in common&#8212;bisexuality. At the very least, the letters are full of excitement.</p>\n<p>And the excitement was realized. <em>Fancy Free</em> was one of the greatest hits in ballet history&#8212;22 curtain calls on opening night, April 18, 1944. With a set by Oliver Smith, evoking the city at dusk, the ballet was a perfect little playlet, a <em>New Yorker</em> short story out of Jerome Robbins, so clearly articulated in movement slang and classical momentum that words would have been overkill. Lenny conducted, and his buoyant presence, that too was choreographic. “His downbeat, delivered against an upward thrust in the torso, has an instantaneous rebound, like that of a tennis ball,” wrote the distinguished dance critic Edwin Denby. “And you could see that the dancers, even when they came on tired, responded to Mr. Bernstein like hepcats to Harry James.” Bernstein’s physical brio on the podium would become a signature&#8212;the “Lenny dance,” he called it.</p>\n<p>“We’re 70 years on in the life of that ballet and it is so alive,” says Damian Woetzel, the incoming president of the Juilliard School and a former principal dancer at the New York City Ballet, where he danced Robbins’s own role in <em>Fancy Free.</em> “These were true American voices that were addressing what it meant to be American, through dance and music. And finding their foothold at a moment when America, during the war and afterwards, is becoming more and more indispensable&#8212;as a country and as a force. I see <em>Fancy Free</em> as their mighty yawp. There they are&#8212;<em>wham</em>&#8212;they’ve arrived.”</p>\n<div class=\"callout large has-pullquote\" data-type=\"callout\"><div class=\"embed pullquote\" data-type=\"pullquote\"><span><blockquote>\n<p>“A collaboration as frequent and close as theirs is a marriage,” says\nStephen Sondheim.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</span><div class=\"component-social-share pullquote mono closed\" data-component=\"SocialShare\"><div class=\"share-item twitter\" data-href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0A%E2%80%9CA%20collaboration%20as%20frequent%20and%20close%20as%20theirs%20is%20a%20marriage%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%0AStephen%20Sondheim.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-component=\"twitter\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0A%E2%80%9CA%20collaboration%20as%20frequent%20and%20close%20as%20theirs%20is%20a%20marriage%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%0AStephen%20Sondheim.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-pin-do=\"\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Twitter\"><span class=\"icon\"></span><span class=\"label\">Twitter</span></a></div></div></div></div><p>Shortly after <em>Fancy Free</em>’s premiere, Robbins was already pushing the envelope, thinking about a “ballet dance play in one scene, combining the forms of dance, music, &amp; spoken word into one theater form.” It didn’t come to anything at Ballet Theatre, but when Oliver Smith suggested that the situation of <em>Fancy Free</em> might be retooled into a Broadway show, spontaneity and content merged and the result was <em>On the Town.</em> That a whole show could bounce out of a short ballet attests not only to the emotional richness of <em>Fancy Free</em> but to the ready invention of Robbins and Bernstein, now joined by the madcap writing team Betty Comden and Adolph Green. As Adam Green, Adolph’s son, <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2014/11/on-the-town-broadway-making-of\">wrote in these pages</a>, the four agreed that “all the elements of the show would work as an integrated unit, with story, songs, and dancing all growing out of one another.”</p>\n<p>It was musical theater cracked open, the plot morphologically cascading, evolving itself scene to scene. Bernstein revealed a gift for lyric simplicity, and his shake-a-leg symphonism, which shot between highbrow dissonance and brash Big Band, had the glitter of mica in Big Apple sidewalks. “The harmonies, the way that Bernstein wrote the city,” says Paul Gemignani, musical director of <em>Jerome Robbins’ Broadway,</em> in 1989, “it sounded like New York in 1944, as opposed to New York in Gershwin’s time.” Bernstein was blown away by Robbins’s acute theatrical instincts&#8212;”incredible, musically.” Yes, Jerry’s instincts were already impressive.</p>\n<p>A mere eight months later, on December 28, 1944, <em>On the Town</em> opened on Broadway, directed by that granddaddy of the stage George Abbott. It was a show, the critic Louis Biancolli wrote, “planned, worked out, and delivered in a ballet key.”</p>\n<p>“It was audacious,” says the director Harold Prince, who while still in college saw the musical nine times. “I thought, I’ve never seen classical music, classical ballet, and a lighthearted zany show all put together and make sense. I loved it so much, and at the same time, more subconsciously, I was trying to see how those disparate elements came together to make such an incredibly successful evening.”</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>‘When I talk of opera,” George Abbott wrote to Bernstein a year later, in 1945, “I am talking about a new form which does not now exist: I am talking about something which I expect you to create  . . .  unhampered by tradition.” Paging <em>West Side Story.</em> The subject for this “new form,” however, came not to Bernstein but to Robbins, in 1947. Helping his lover, the actor Montgomery Clift, figure out how the role of Romeo might be refashioned in the present tense, Robbins thought, Why not create a contemporary <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>? In 1949, a first try by Robbins, Bernstein, and the writer Arthur Laurents, which substituted Catholics and Jews for Capulets and Montagues, went nowhere. But in 1955, with gang violence making headlines, Laurents suggested a shift to rival street gangs. Robbins insisted that the show be cast with young unknowns who could dance as well as sing&#8212;because dance is a tribal language, primal and powerful. The fusion of forms would be as snug as a switchblade, and the musical would move as the crow flies, direct and dark. The New York premiere was September 26, 1957: Jets and Sharks; Polish-Irish-Italian Americans vs. Puerto Ricans; Tony and Maria. Robbins was the engine and Bernstein the environment, his score <em>sui generis</em>&#8212;a rite of spring inside a Ben Shahn line drawing.</p>\n<p>The genesis, impact, and influence of <em>West Side Story</em> has been explained and analyzed in countless histories and memoirs. Its team&#8212;Robbins, Bernstein, book by Arthur Laurents, lyrics by the fledgling Stephen Sondheim&#8212;is perhaps the most brilliant in Broadway history. Hard to believe now that the suits at Columbia Records, when Bernstein and Sondheim auditioned the score for them, thought it was too advanced, too wordy, too rangy&#8212;<em>and no one can sing “Maria.”</em> This masterpiece continues to defy category, though Laurents came closest when he called it “lyric theater.” As Martin Charnin, an original Jet who went on to direct and write his own shows, says today, “You know how there’s Mount Everest and then there are mountains? As far as I’m concerned, there’s <em>West Side Story</em> and then there are musicals.” This was the pinnacle of the Bernstein-Robbins enterprise.</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>‘I will never, never work with Jerome Robbins again, as long as I live”&#8212;long pause of silence&#8212;“for a while.” Gerald Freedman, Robbins’s assistant director on <em>West Side Story,</em> remembers Bernstein saying this over dinner, after the show opened. By 1957, the differences between Bernstein and Robbins, which Irving Penn captured so well in those portraits of ‘47 and ‘48, were far more pronounced. Bernstein had married the sublime Felicia Montealegre Cohn, a Costa Rican&#8211;born actress and musician, in 1951; he was now the father of Jamie and Alexander (Nina yet to come); and he had just signed on as music director of the New York Philharmonic. It was a celebrated, expansive, and overstuffed life, extremely social, his time for composing dovetailed in with difficulty. Robbins, meanwhile, was indeed a colossus with a Broadway hit parade to his name, shows including <em>High Button Shoes, The King and I, Pajama Game, Peter Pan,</em> and <em>Bells Are Ringing.</em> (<em>Gypsy</em> was just around the corner.) But he was still uncomfortable in his own skin, hot-tempered with his collaborators, and a slave driver at work, demanding every minute, <em>every second,</em> of time owed him. It didn’t help that in 1953, threatened by the House Un-American Activities Committee with a public outing of his homosexual relationships, Robbins named names. Felicia Bernstein didn’t speak to him after that, or not much, and wouldn’t have him in the apartment. When he went over to work with Lenny he headed directly to the studio. In fact, there were only two people that Lenny deferred to: Felicia and Jerry. Both could make him sweat. Regarding Jerry, Bernstein’s view was simple: We have to cater to genius.</p>\n<p>“A genius for me means endlessly inventive,” says Sondheim. “With the accent on the ‘endlessly.’ Jerry had this endless fount of ideas. And, man, you couldn’t wait to go home and write after you got finished talking to Jerry. Nobody matches Jerry in musical theater. Nobody had Jerry’s invention. Nobody.”</p>\n<div class=\"callout large has-pullquote\" data-type=\"callout\"><div class=\"embed pullquote\" data-type=\"pullquote\"><span><blockquote>\n<p>“When their strengths came into alignment it was like the stars\naligning,” says John Guare.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</span><div class=\"component-social-share pullquote mono closed\" data-component=\"SocialShare\"><div class=\"share-item twitter\" data-href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0A%E2%80%9CWhen%20their%20strengths%20came%20into%20alignment%20it%20was%20like%20the%20stars%0Aaligning%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%20John%20Guare.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-component=\"twitter\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=%22%0A%E2%80%9CWhen%20their%20strengths%20came%20into%20alignment%20it%20was%20like%20the%20stars%0Aaligning%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%20John%20Guare.%0A%0A%22&amp;via=VanityFair&amp;url=\" data-pin-do=\"\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Twitter\"><span class=\"icon\"></span><span class=\"label\">Twitter</span></a></div></div></div></div><p>The problem was that “Jerry worked best when it was all instinct,” says the playwright John Guare. “And the one thing that Jerry did not trust was his instinct.” His infernal second-guessing&#8212;an aesthetic integrity that had him tossing out thrilling ideas in search of even better, truer ones&#8212;could get maddening, irrational. “Dostoyevsky territory,” Guare calls it. And despite his wit and charm after hours, Robbins at work used confrontation and cruelty to get his way. “Black Jerome” was Bernstein’s nickname. During the dress rehearsal of <em>West Side Story,</em> right under Lenny’s nose, Black Jerome simplified the orchestrations of “Somewhere” without batting an eye.</p>\n<p>“Our father was fearless,” says Alexander Bernstein. “But when Jerry was coming over and there was a big meeting, he was scared.” In the company of geniuses, Jerry was <em>primus inter pares,</em> first among equals.</p>\n<p>“No matter what the material was,” says Guare, “if Jerry wanted to do it, people would follow him.” And if the material wasn’t right? In 1963, Robbins asked Bernstein to help him make a musical of Thornton Wilder’s apocalyptic <em>The Skin of Our Teeth.</em> They started, but, as often happened, other obligations got in the way&#8212;for Lenny, the Philharmonic; for Jerry, <em>Fiddler on the Roof.</em> In 1964 they returned to the Wilder with high hopes; Comden and Green were now on board and New York was waiting. Six months later the project was abandoned, no explanations. Privately, Bernstein called it a “dreadful experience.” The Robbins biographer Amanda Vaill suggests that Robbins may have become just too authoritarian for his <em>On the Town</em> family. Robbins himself wrote, “We did not want to think of a world after a nuclear war.” Adam Green’s understanding from his father was that “Jerry got restless and walked away, and then Lenny did, too.”</p>\n<p>Worse was Robbins’s attempt in 1968, revisited in 1986, to turn Brecht’s play <em>The Exception and the Rule</em> into a sort of musical vaudeville, a torturous episode for everyone involved, especially Bernstein. “The material refused to be transformed,” says Guare, who was brought in to write the book. “It was like dealing with a dead whale in the room. Lenny kept saying to Jerry, ‘Why do you need me in this show?’ He was afraid he was just being used to supply incidental music and he wanted to make a statement that would give it importance. Jerry would not give him that opening.” Again, Jerry walked out of the project&#8212;in the middle of casting, no less&#8212;and Lenny burst into tears.</p>\n<p>“Yup,” says Paul Gemignani. “It’s not going to work. There’s no boss in the room.”</p>\n<p>Bernstein’s “never, never&#8212;for a while” always passed. His letters are filled with his and Jerry’s ideas for collaboration, and Jerry’s journals reflect continuing awe at Lenny: “He hits the piano &amp; an orchestra comes out.”</p>\n<div class=\"callout omfg\" data-type=\"callout\"></div><p>“A collaboration as frequent and close as theirs is a marriage,” says Sondheim. “As a collaborator I’ve had a lot of marriages. That’s exactly what’s involved.” Bernstein and Robbins admired and antagonized each other, exhilarated and wounded each other, loved and at times hated each other. They were both, Jerry wrote in his journal, oversensitive <em>and</em> insensitive: “he scared of me &amp; me feeling he always put me down.” Yet neither one ever thought to let this artistic marriage go. At their best, they completed each other.</p>\n<p>“The need for Lenny to work with Jerry,” says Charnin, “was just another side of the coin that was the need Jerry had to work with Lenny.”</p>\n<p>“They would both do other things,” says Jamie Bernstein, “but then they would try again together to achieve this higher thing that they were both so obsessed with. They loved to break down the walls between genres, making things more fluid.”</p>\n<p>“Obviously, if you break boundaries,” says Harold Prince, the producer of <em>West Side Story,</em> “you want to break further and larger boundaries. Jerry wanted to dig deeper and deeper. And Lenny could deliver. He had a sense of size&#8212;no borders, no boundaries.”</p>\n<p>“They were two extraordinary balls of energy,” says Guare, “two spinning dynamos occupying the same space. And they each needed success. They had in common a hatred of failure. When their strengths came into alignment it was like the stars aligning. But there was no control over that.”</p>\n</section><section class=\"content-section\" data-type=\"section\"><p>Their last collaboration to see the stage was a work they had wanted to do since <em>Fancy Free</em>’s premiere. In 1944, flush with the future, they were both drawn backward to a Yiddish classic of 1920&#8212;S. Ansky’s play of love, death, and possession, <em>The Dybbuk, or Between Two Worlds.</em> The work was tailor-made for them. It spoke to their shared lineage as Russian Jews. It told the story of soulmates Chanon and Leah, and the mystical link between them. (“When you make your first work with someone,” Robbins would say in an interview before <em>Dybbuk</em>’s premiere, “it makes for a certain bond.”) And the play’s focus on the existential secrets of the Kabbalah had a Promethean subtext, the reaching after cosmic&#8212;read artistic&#8212;power. But it didn’t happen then. Success carried them away from Ansky and straight to <em>On the Town.</em> Two more Robbins-Bernstein ballets came in 1946 and 1950&#8212;<em>Facsimile</em> and <em>Age of Anxiety,</em> both psycho-analytically probing&#8212;but they are now lost.</p>\n<p>“Dybbuk Dybbuk Dybbuk,” Robbins wrote to Bernstein in 1958. “With this ghost’s effort I know that suddenly something will be on paper that will get us all started.” They finally made a start in 1972, and, when N.Y.C.B. scheduled <em>Dybbuk</em>’s premiere for May 1974, expectations ran high. “It was a big, big deal, Lenny and Jerry working together again,” remembers Jean-Pierre Frohlich, who oversees the Robbins repertory at N.Y.C.B.</p>\n<div class=\"callout large\" data-type=\"callout\"></div><p>Robbins had come to a place of peace about being a Jew. A trip to Masada, in Israel, had moved him profoundly. According to Dan Duell, the artistic director of Ballet Chicago, Robbins “wanted to capture the rarefied atmosphere that was still alive and breathing there. <em>Dybbuk</em> was an attempt to evoke the magical spirit of their heritage.” Robbins planned to dramatize the story, to play to his greatest strength. Bernstein wrote a magnificent score&#8212;brooding, gliding, gleamingly nocturnal. But then Robbins backed away from narrative and into abstraction. “It was a very precious subject to Jerry,” says former N.Y.C.B. dancer Bart Cook, “one that he really wanted to do&#8212;but was afraid of. You should have seen some of the scenery, gold-covered flames, and the Kabbalah stuff and the symbolism. He just axed it all. It was too exposing.” When Bernstein told <em>People</em> magazine, “The ballet is based on our experience in Jewishness,” Robbins corrected him: “It isn’t.”</p>\n<p>“I want to seize a clear and brilliant diamond,” says Chanon in Ansky’s play, “to dissolve it in tears and draw it into my soul!” Robbins was no doubt referring to this line when he said, some years later, that he’d wanted to make “a very hard diamond of a ballet.” Perhaps he couldn’t see it at the time, but that’s exactly what he and Bernstein made&#8212;a black diamond, glinting with astral refractions. Patricia McBride, the first Leah, loved dancing <em>Dybbuk.</em> “I felt totally immersed in it and lost,” she says, “lost in the music.” <em>Dybbuk</em> comes back into N.Y.C.B. repertory this spring, a tale of two souls fated and luminously fused. Until the end of their lives, Lenny and Jerry’s respect for each other, their mutual support, never wavered.</p>\n<p>Perry Silvey, the longtime technical director of the New York City Ballet, remembers running a rehearsal sometime in the late 80s. It was a quiet ballet, and there was noise above the stage, coming from the galleries where the fly-floor guys and bridge-spot operators work. “As we were rehearsing we keep hearing guys talking,” says Silvey. “I’m out in the house and even the dancers are kind of annoyed. Over the headset I said, ‘Please, guys, keep it down. There’s too much talking going on.’ And this happens a couple of times. Finally I walk all the way up onstage and yell, <em>‘Quiet on the gallery!’</em> I look up and there’s Jerry and Lenny, side by side, looking over the rail at me. They were probably up in Jerry’s office&#8212;there’s a door from the fourth-floor hallway that goes right into that gallery&#8212;and they just sneaked in to look down and see what was happening onstage. They were having a real good time, obviously. And when the two of them, old pros, realize they’ve been in the wrong, the most hilarious thing&#8212;they both cover their mouths with their hands and almost giggle, and then slink away like two schoolboys.”</p>\n<p>Or like two boy wonders&#8212;co-pilots on the same comet.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/51ccb6fac2b4c00d58424172.js?muted=1\"></div></div></section>","channel":"Style","subChannel":"Celebrity","tags":[],"ledeCaption":"<strong>GANG OF NEW YORK</strong><br>\nIn the 1961 film West Side Story, members of the Sharks gang&#8212;played by Jay Norman, George Chakiris, and Eddie Verso&#8212;take to the streets.","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"When Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins met 75 years ago, they were young men hungry for their Big Break.

The script will be written by Tony winner (and <em>Lincoln</em> screenwriter) <strong>Tony Kushner</strong>; the cast, however, is still to be determined.</p>\n<p>A casting call was recently released, seeking actors to fill in the key principal roles of Tony, Maria, Anita, and Bernardo. The announcement explicitly asks for Latinx actors to audition for the latter three, a welcome sign that Spielberg won’t whitewash this story. In the original 1961 film, those three parts were played by Natalie Wood, <strong>Rita Moreno</strong> (who is Puerto Rican), and <strong>George Chakiris.</strong> Tony, as always, will be played by a white actor; in the original, <strong>Richard Beymer</strong> played the role. Actors must be between the ages of 15 and 25, and must be able to sing, naturally. Dance experience is “a plus” for this famously kinetic production, which boasted original choreography from Jerome Robbins (who also co-directed the first film version).</p>\n<div class=\"embed block row social-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"embed twitter-embed-component twitter-tweet twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\" data-type=\"twitter\" data-url=\"https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/956695213858279424\"><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/956695213858279424\">https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/956695213858279424</a></p></blockquote></div><p>Rumors about Spielberg and Kushner teaming up for a <em>West Side Story</em> reboot have been floating about for the last few years. Deadline first reported the news <a href=\"http://deadline.com/2014/03/fox-revives-west-side-story-for-steven-spielberg-as-town-ponders-stacey-snider-move-and-dreamworks-future-693716/\">back in 2014</a>, while Spielberg himself confirmed it much later, in a 2016 interview with <a href=\"https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/steven-spielberg-dreamworks-past-amblins-902544\"><em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a>&#8212;adding that he’s dreamt of adapting this material “for decades,” and spent 15 years trying to acquire the rights. Now, with a little help from 20th Century Fox, he’s well on his way toward catching that finger-snapping white whale.</p>\n<p><em>West Side Story</em> has loomed large in the pop-culture landscape for the last six decades. A splashy Broadway revival in 2009 drew a mix of praise and confusion when some of its lyrics were translated into Spanish by <strong>Lin-Manuel Miranda</strong> (working with original lyricist <strong>Stephen Sondheim</strong>), in order to acknowledge half of the characters’s Puerto Rican roots. Eventually, though, some of those <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/27/theater/27west.html?mtrref=undefined\">lyrics were converted back to English</a>, after producers realized audience members who didn’t speak Spanish weren’t able to connect with the altered words. While this might have been a difficult trick to pull off on the stage, perhaps Spielberg will be able to try again on the big screen, thanks to the aid of subtitles. According to BroadwayWorld, the casting call <a href=\"https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Casting-Call-Goes-Out-for-Steven-Spielbergs-WEST-SIDE-STORY-Remake-20180125\">explicitly ask for actors who can speak Spanish</a>&#8212;a positive sign for those hoping the story will seem a little more authentic this time around.</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Movies","tags":["west side

Debut","body":"<p>It’s no secret that downtown Los Angeles is in the midst of a rapid renaissance. But, for the past three years, chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara&#8212;the dynamic duo behind New York’s celebrated Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad&#8212;have quietly been reimagining the neighborhood’s historic Giannini Place building as the site for their first West Coast outpost. NoMad Los Angeles, a 241-room hotel developed by the Sydell Group, with a variety of restaurants and watering holes, opens on January 21.</p>\n<p>“If you look around downtown, it’s not quite there yet, but when you look up, the buildings have so much history that it’s just unbelievable,” says Guidara. The opulent former L.A. headquarters of the Bank of Italy (forefather to Bank of America) has ties to Hollywood&#8212;Walt Disney once took out a loan here to finish <em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</em>&#8212;but architect and designer Jacques Garcia, who has worked from Vegas to Versailles, preserves its Italian heritage. Blueprints of the Hollywood Bowl are interspersed with Fortuny lamps in a two-story, neoclassical-style lobby, complete with fine dining, a library, two bars, a pastry-stuffed café, and powder rooms behind the 50-ton bank vault door. “NoMad is all about discovery, like a good house,” says Humm.</p>\n<p>The team will bring some trademarks from their New York flagship&#8212;“A big question was: Are we doing the chicken again?” says Humm (they are)&#8212;but reveals newer surprises: “We’ve never had a pool before,” exclaims Guidara, and this rooftop one has sweeping views from the skyline to the Pacific. Humm promises a menu for local tastes: “An eight-year-old kid in Los Angeles loves Mexican food, knows how to eat Korean barbecue, and wants to order sea urchin, so we created something authentic to L.A. through our own lens.”</p>\n<p>In the duo’s 12-year collaboration, this is their first project outside New York City, but both have hopes of making L.A. their town. Says Guidara, “We’ve worked really hard to give people a reason to make the trek to downtown. We hope they give it a shot.”</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\"

Sundance attendees of all ages were on hand to thank her for her service or to simply grab a photo of the diminutive judge.</p>\n<p>Sundance Chairman <strong>Robert Redford</strong> came to the chat to introduce Ginsburg, saying, “She has enhanced the quality of our festival just by being here.” CNN President <strong>Jeff Zucker</strong> also was in attendance, as were Sundance programmers <strong>John Cooper</strong> and <strong>Caroline Libresco.</strong> <strong>Maggie Gyllenhaal,</strong> <strong>Ashley Judd,</strong> #MeToo founder <strong>Tarana Burke,</strong> <strong>Jeffrey Wright,</strong> and others attended the luncheon with Ginsburg following her chat. To many, it was the highlight of the confab.</p>\n<p>Totenberg’s chat with Ginsburg covered personal ground over political, as she questioned the justice about her own experiences with sexual harassment, the cultural touchstones that influence her life, and how she wound up securing her first clerkship after graduating at the top of her class at Columbia Law School. Ginsburg even charmed the crowd by doing her impression of <strong><a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/09/kate-mckinnon-cover-story\">Kate McKinnon</a>’s</strong> impression of her on <em>Saturday Night Live.</em> “Ginsburg,” she uttered with McKinnon’s signature flair, while the audience howled with laughter.</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\" data-url=\"//player.cnevids.com/script/video/5a625241148bb001d900000f.js?autoplay=0\"></div></div><p>As for the <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/01/womens-march-2018\">#MeToo movement</a> against harassment and assault, Ginsburg wasn’t shy about her feelings. “I think it’s about time,” she said. “For so long women were silent, thinking there was nothing you could do about it. But the law is now on the side of women or men who encounter harassment, and that’s a good thing.”</p>\n<p>Totenberg asked Ginsburg if she ever experienced sexual harassment in her career. “The answer is yes,” the justice said. “Every woman of my vintage knows about sexual harassment, but we didn’t have a name for it.” Ginsburg then told a story about a chemistry class she took as an undergraduate at Cornell University. She asked her professor for help on a test; he offered her a practice exam, but the next day Ginsburg discovered he had given her the actual exam. “I knew exactly what he wanted in return,” she said. “I went to his office and said, ‘How dare you. How dare you.’ And that was the end of that.”</p>\n<p>Totenberg questioned whether Ginsburg was worried about a backlash hitting the #MeToo movement. “Let’s see where it goes,” Ginsburg answered. “So far, it’s been great. When I see women appearing everywhere, I’m less worried about backlash than I was 20 years ago.”</p>\n<p>Totenberg then asked Ginsburg about movies, in keeping with the business of the festival. The first movie she remembers seeing was <em>Gone with the Wind.</em> “I don’t know if I would love it if I saw it today for the first time, but back then I watched it five times in a row,” Ginsburg said. The two most recent films she has seen are both awards contenders: <em>Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri</em> and <em>Call Me by Your Name,</em> which she called “beautiful.”</p>\n<p>Ginsburg graduated at the top of her class from Columbia Law, but had difficulty landing her first clerkship. It wasn’t until one of her professors, who arranged many clerkships for graduates, offered her future boss a carrot and a stick, that she got a position. The carrot: if Ginsburg didn’t work out, the professor said, he would arrange for another graduate&#8212;a man who had recently taken a high-paying job on Wall Street&#8212;to come take her place. The stick? “If you don’t take her, I’ll never recommend another clerk for you,” Ginsburg recalled. “I didn’t learn that story until much later. All this time, I thought the judge hired me because he had two daughters and this was how he wanted the world to be for them. The challenge for us in that era was getting in the door. Once we got the job, we did as well, if not better, than the men.”</p>\n<p>Ginsburg ended the chat by answering the main question on the audience’s mind: how’s your health?</p>\n<p>“It’s very good,” she replied, confirming that she’s hired the full complement of clerks through the 2020 term and has no plans of leaving her chair. “As long as I can do the job full-steam, I will be here.”</p>","channel":"Hollywood","subChannel":"Movies","tags":["ruth bader ginsburg","sundance film festival","supreme court"],"ledeCaption":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg appears in <em>RBG</em> by directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen.","contentSource":"web","canonicalUrl":"","meta":{"collectionName":"articles","modelName":"article","publishable":true,"identifiable":true,"image":false,"archived":false,"hallable":true,"hierarchical":false},"dek":"A highlight of the chat: Ginsburg impersonating Kate McKinnon impersonating Ginsburg on <em>Saturday Night Live.</em>","seoTitle":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Wows Celebrity-Packed Crowd at Sundance Film Festival","seoDescription":"A highlight of the chat: Ginsburg impersonating Kate McKinnon impersonating Ginsburg on Saturday Night Live.","socialTitle":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Wows Celebrity-Packed Crowd at Sundance Film Festival","socialDescription":"A highlight of the chat: Ginsburg impersonating Kate McKinnon impersonating Ginsburg on Saturday Night Live.","issueDate":"","rubric":"Notorious RGB","promoHed":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg Wows Celebrity-Packed Crowd at Sundance Film Festival","promoDek":"A highlight of the chat: Ginsburg impersonating Kate McKinnon impersonating Ginsburg on <em>Saturday Night Live.</em>","id":"5a651ceb8b23bb555ac62c69","revision":18,"createdAt":"January 21, 2018 6:06 pm","modifiedAt":"January 22, 2018 9:05 am","revisionCreatedAt":"January 22, 2018 9:05 am","_embedded":{"photosTout":[{"fields":{"revisionAuthor":"Anna  Raya","filename":"24504155397_db672b28ce_o.jpg","aspectRatios":{"3:2":{"width":3240,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":2160,"width":3240,"x":300,"y":0}},"duration":null},"5:3":{"width":3600,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":2160,"width":3600,"x":120,"y":0}},"duration":null},"2:3":{"width":1440,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"x":1413,"y":0,"height":2160,"width":1440}},"duration":null},"9:16":{"width":1214,"height":2159,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"x":1645,"y":0,"height":2159,"width":1214}},"duration":null},"7:3":{"width":3835,"height":1643,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"x":1,"y":119,"height":1643,"width":3835}},"duration":null},"16:9":{"width":3840,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":2160,"width":3840,"x":0,"y":0}},"duration":null},"4:3":{"width":2880,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":2160,"width":2880,"x":480,"y":0}},"duration":null},"1:1":{"width":2160,"height":2160,"override":false,"modifications":{"crop":{"height":2160,"width":2160,"x":840,"y":0}},"duration":null},"master":{"format":"JPEG","url":"https://cn-copilot-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/vf/production/2018/01/21/5a651d0dfee89c27f99f59d2_24504155397_db672b28ce_o.jpg","width":3840,"height":2160,"duration":null}},"title":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg in RBG doc","description":"Ruth Bader Ginsburg appears in &lt;i&gt;RBG&lt;/i&gt; by Betsy West and Julie Cohen, an official selection of the Documentary Premiers program at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

The deadline is intended to balance an ongoing reshuffle with the threat of a larger exodus&#8212;a chaotic combination made worse by the Trump administration’s struggle to find qualified candidates. It’s also a charge the White House vigorously denies. “There has been no directive on staff departures and any suggestion otherwise is ridiculous fake news,” said <strong>Sarah Huckabee Sanders</strong>.</p>\n<p>Despite these protestations, there are inarguably some gaping holes in <strong>Donald Trump’s</strong> team. The role of chief strategist, once occupied by <strong>Steve Bannon,</strong> is conspicuously vacant. As is the senior aide position held by <strong>Keith Schiller</strong>, the former security chief who moved to the White House as an aide-de-camp and left in September. The embattled Office of Political Affairs remains in a state of transition: While current head <strong>Bill Stepien</strong> is set to remain in place (for how long is unclear), he will now be overseen by <strong>Johnny DeStafano,</strong> pulling triple duty at the Office of Presidential Personnel and the Office of Public Liaison and the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. Although the promotion speaks to his competence, it also suggests that Chief of Staff <strong>John Kelly</strong>, who has vowed to fill the ranks by the end of January, is struggling to find anyone else to take on the roles.</p>\n<p>There are multiple reasons for the lack of enthusiastic and suitably qualified candidates. The first is ideological. The extremity of Trump’s stances have alienated many Republicans, who fear working in the White House might tarnish the trajectory of their careers. Trump, in turn, is not keen to hire anyone who might prove even somewhat disloyal. “There are still a lot of people who have said they are unwilling to work in the White House and there are a lot of people the White House are unwilling to have come in,” Republican operative <strong>Doug Heye</strong> <a href=\"http://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/09/politics/president-donald-trump-staffing/index.html\">told</a> CNN.</p>\n<p>The more obvious problem is turnover: <strong>Dina Powell</strong> and <strong>Jeremy Katz</strong> are <em>exeunt</em> stage left, with <strong>Gary Cohn</strong> expected soon thereafter. While <strong>Jared Kushner</strong> and <strong>Ivanka Trump</strong> apparently <a href=\"https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-white-house-aides-already-anxious-about-2018/\">plan to remain in Washington at least through the 2018 school year</a>, few believe they will stay long. More notable casualties include <strong>Sean Spicer,</strong> infamous purveyor of “alternative facts”; <strong>Michael Flynn</strong>, who was ostensibly fired for lying to Vice President <strong>Mike Pence</strong> and recently pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I.; <strong>Sebastien Gorka,</strong> whose association with extremist politics in Hungary have not diminished his star at Fox News; and, of course, the silver-tongued <strong>Anthony Scaramucci</strong>.</p>\n<p>The Brookings Institution concludes that the Trump administration has seen more exits than any first year president in the last four decades, with 34 percent of Trump’s senior staff departing in the past year alone.</p>\n<p>The larger issue isn’t necessarily Trump’s tendency to shed staff, but his difficulty attracting new talent. It is no secret that nearly everyone who has worked for Trump in a public-facing role has, at some point, been subject to humiliation, either in their interactions with the press&#8212;à la Spicer&#8212;or at the hands of their boss, as Attorney General <strong>Jeff Sessions</strong> can affirm. And then there is the specter of <strong>Robert Mueller’s</strong> Russia probe, which has already led to four indictments, and is now circling closer to Trump. As one person familiar with the White House’s staffing challenges told CNN, candidates that might otherwise fill some West Wing vacancies don’t see working for Trump as a prestigious career move. They see it as a potential “ticket to the grand jury.”</p>\n<div class=\"embed cneembed\"><div class=\"embed block cneembed\"

contributing editor in 1995. With a focus on culture and fashion, she has written on the greats of the twentieth century, performing artists and designers--most recently she revisited George Balanchine&#39;s production of The Nutcracker &#8212; and has profiled the seminal mid-century American fashion designers, among them Norman Norell, Adrian, and Mainbocher. Jacobs has also made a specialty of iconic women, a collection of subjects that includes Emily Post, Grace Kelly, Mary McCarthy, Suzy Parker, Gypsy Rose Lee, Lilly Pulitzer, and Julia Child. Before coming to <em>Vanity Fair</em>, Jacobs served as the editor in chief of <em>Stagebill</em> for eight years. She reviews museum exhibitions on fashion for <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> and is the dance critic at <em>The New Criterion</em>. Jacobs is the author of <em>The Art of Haute Couture</em> (Abbeville, 1995), <em>Beauty and the Beene</em> (Abrams, 1999), <em>Landscape with Moving Figures: A Decade on Dance</em> (Dance &amp; Movement Press, 2006), and two novels: <em>Women About Town</em> (Viking, 2002) and <em>The Bird Catcher</em> (St. Martin’s Press, 2009).
