If anyone could be counted on to deliver a primetime TV worthy performance after a year of disconnection, it would be
Harry Styles. Yet when he took to the stage to perform âWatermelon Sugarâ off his most recent album
Fine Line, it was clear he was ready to way outstrip those expectations. He started off in a leather Gucci suit and a feather boa, which eventually was stripped to reveal his bare chest. With a slight hat tip to
Mick Jagger, he reminded the world of the things you can only get from live music.

THR reporting that the streaming service has started development on a new comedy series titled
Enjoy Your Meal, focused on satirizing the hypocrisy of the food media world, and featuring contributions/consultations from Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, Rapoport’s former assistant, and the only Black woman on the company’s staff at the time this all went down. Walker-Hartshorn was one of several voices that spoke up about issues at the company after the photos of Rapoport surfaced, highlighting a workplace in which people of color were frequently discriminated against, and where Rapoport fostered cultural inequalities from the EIC’s office on down. All of which will, presumably, get a slightly less institutionally depressing spin with the show, which is being written and executive produced by
