While Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July white party is undoubtedly the biggest private affair of the summer season, the action along the 37-mile stretch from Southampton to Montauk, beckoning with restaurants, shops, art galleries and museums, rages on long after you’ve retired all the summer whites in your wardrobe.

“They’re Scared”: 5,000-Plus Demonstrators Rally in L.A. to Support Writers Strike, Pressure Studios
Over 5,000 writers and supporters descended on the mid-Wilshire neighborhood of Los Angeles on Wednesday to rally support during the eighth week of the Writers Guild of America labor stoppage.
The “WGA Strong” rally featured spirited and sometimes expletive-filled speeches from the likes of I’m a Virgo writer-director Boots Riley, WGA negotiating committee member Adam Conover and Teamsters Local 399 leader Lindsay Dougherty, as well as a musical performance from singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc (who pointedly sang, at one point, “I Need a Dollar”). The overall message to writers, who are now 51 days into their first strike in 15 years? Hollywood labor is behind you.
The event also served as something of a flex to the industry. “We are out here today to tell the companies how strong we are,” said WGA negotiating committee member Conover (The G Word), who acted as the rally’s emcee. He added, “Carol [Lombardini, the president of the AMPTP] didn’t plan for how strong we are.

Thousands of striking Writers Guild of America members along with other union workers marched in solidarity past the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on Wednesday before staging a rally at the La Brea Tar Pits.
The rally was hosted by WGA board and negotiating committee member Adam Conover, who has become one of the most outspoken voices in the Writers Guild after he called out Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav during a CNN interview on the first day of the strike.
“[AMPTP president] Carol Lombardini did not plan for how strong we are. She did not plan for the fact that eight weeks in, we are bringing the same energy as on Day 1,” Conover said. “She did not plan for our picket lines to include members from every union in town! We are marching with janitors, with housekeepers, with teachers, with strippers! We have union strippers! And that because we know have the same fight.

There’s a festival feel at the La Brea Tar Pits with live performances from Aloe Blacc and Boots Riley.
Blacc said that he was there to sing for the writers and that he wishes “there was more I could do for you” but that he stands in “solidarity”, while Riley performed an acapella song called Everything after saying “the whole world is looking at us and we can’t let them down” (see clips below).
But while there’s live music, the sense of injustice from the thousand-plus writers attending the WGA Strong March and Rally for a Fair Contract was even louder.
Adam Conover, the Wgaw Board and Negotiating Committee Member who organized the event, drew large cheers when he pointed out that the writers were being supported by a slew of other unions, including actors, directors, drivers, janitors and strippers.

The focus in the US midterm elections may rightly be on the races for the Senate and House of Representatives, but it is also the time for a host of local elections, of which none is more hotly debated in Hollywood than the Los Angeles mayoral poll.
Necessitated by the departure of Eric Garcetti, who’s US President Joe Biden’s nominee for Ambassador to India and is still awaiting Senate confirmation, the mayoral contest sees six-term US Congresswoman and Democrat Karen Bass pitted against real estate billionaire, and Republican-turned-Democrat, Rick Caruso.
Caruso, who enjoys a slight edge in a dead-heat race dominated by the city’s problem of homelessness and eyebrows raised by his 100 million campaign machine, was given a big shout out by pop star Katy Perry, a loyal Democrat who had performed for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Tinashe, a featured performer at the 12th annual amFAR Gala, certainly held attention with a gorgeous puffy princess gown. She couldn’t settle on one shade of pink to wear, so there are shades of pink going lighter until her gown reaches a white base.
This gala is in support of the continuing search to find a cure for AIDS. Tinashe performed as well as Madison Beer and Aloe Blacc. Almost 2 million was raised for amFAR at last year’s event, so the mega-famous attendees like Ryan Murphy, Kelly Rowland and Chelsea Handler likely coughed up!

Katy Perry is taking heat for a voting-booth photo she posted to Instagram revealing she cast her Los Angeles Mayoral race vote for billionaire developer Rick Caruso.
“l am voting for a myriad of reasons (see the news) but in particular because Los Angeles is a hot mess atm,” wrote Perry in the post.
Caruso is running as a Democrat in overwhelmingly Blue L.A. County, but he was a registered Republican until recently. Perry, who performed for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in 2016, was quickly and widely criticized for the post, on which the comments were disabled.
In reaction, comedian Travon Free tweeted, “As much as the right try to spin it, Katy Perry voting for Rick Caruso is not an indication of anything other than a rich white woman voting for a fake democrat who will ultimately have no effect on the quality of her life...

Ghostface Killah is set to release NFTs based around previously unpublished lyrics the founding Wu-Tang Clan rapper wrote over 20 years ago.
The latest high profile artist to jump in on the buzzy tech craze, Ghost tells Rolling Stone he was looking back through notebooks of old lyrics — some of them over 20 years old — as he was getting ready for the 25th anniversary of his debut solo album Ironman.

Season 23 contestant Heather Martin dramatically stirred the pot in the opening scenes of this week’s high-stakes episode of “The Bachelor.”
Stealing valuable time away from Pieper while a few ladies peeked through windows outside, Heather told Matt James how highly former “Bachelorette” Hannah Brown spoke of him and his heart. She felt the two would make a great match. Matt, stunned yet delighted, needed some time to process everything but enjoyed her boldness nonetheless. And due to Hannah’s influence, he was confident in at least considering adding Heather to the mix.
When Heather rejoined the ladies, she was quickly interrogated. She admitted she never met Matt before but was ready for engagement and marriage. “You’re just ‘Bachelor’-hopping,” Pieper said, before asking for an apology for being previously interrupted. “You walking in and interrupting my time when I was having a pretty important conversation is super uncalled for.

After weeks of the wondering about Matt James’ thoughts, the remaining women got their answers on this Monday night’s The Bachelor as he selected his four finalists for hometown visits. But first, Matt had to decide what to do with Heather Martin.
Heather traveled all that way to meet him and even rented a creepy white minivan for the driving leg of the trip. In turn, Matt seemed truly tickled that his friend and former Bachelorette Hannah Brown had recommended Heather. The 10 women who had spent weeks on the show vying for Matt’s love, however, were not amused,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Feb. 15 episode of “The Bachelor.”
Last week on “The Bachelor,” former contestant Heather Martin arrived and shook up the house. The other women were visibly upset, but Heather pled her case to Matt James. The two share a best friend — former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, who recommended they connect.
But with the limited time left and an inability to catch up with the other women, Matt sent her home quickly, and then went straight to the rose ceremony, where Serena Chew and Chelsea Vaughn also exited.
Eight women remained, but only four would advance to “hometowns” next week. The final four roses were up for grabs between a group date and two one-on-ones. While it was expected that Abigail Heringer or Jessenia Cruz would be the recipients (they were the only two who had not yet received an individual...
