The first trailer for Marty Supreme has finally landed
Penned by the filmmaker and his frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein, and co-produced by Chalamet and beloved indie label A24, this forthcoming release is loosely inspired by ping pong player Marty Reisman. Born in 1930s Manhattan, he began playing table tennis on the Lower East Side, competing for bets and prizes, before becoming the US men's singles champion. His memoir, The Money Player: The Confessions of America's Greatest Table Tennis Player and Hustler , was published in 1974.
While major plot details remain under wraps, sources close to the production have confirmed that this account of Marty's rise will be a fictionalised original story, rather than a conventional biopic. With Safdie at the helm, you would, of course, expect nothing else. The log line simply reads: 'Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.'
Alongside Chalamet and Paltrow—as a Hollywood movie star love interest, of course—expect to see the likes of Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher, and Tyler, the Creator don their mid-century best, as we look ahead to a Christmas Day release. Let the (inevitably bizarre and brilliant) press tour commence.

The first trailer for Marty Supreme has finally landed
He got very close indeed with his transformative turn as a young Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown , but could 2026 finally be the year when Timothée Chalamet gets his Academy Award? Well, if we're going by the first trailer for Marty Supreme , a zippy new period drama about a professional ping pong player, directed by Good Time and Uncut Gems 's Josh Safdie and co-starring none other than Gwyneth Paltrow, it could definitely happen. Penned by the filmmaker and his frequent collaborator Ronald Bronstein, and co-produced by Chalamet and beloved indie label A24, this forthcoming release is loosely inspired by ping pong player Marty Reisman. Born in 1930s Manhattan, he began playing table tennis on the Lower East Side, competing for bets and prizes, before becoming the US men's singles champion.

Not to be dramatic, but the paparazzi are ruining movies for all of us
To be quite clear, I'm not someone who instinctively hates the paparazzi; I have those camera-toting pervs to thank for many of the unguarded, un-posed celebrity images I hold nearest and dearest to my heart, such as the 'Bimbo Summit' photo of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and pretty much every snapshot of the Olsen twins from their NYU years. (Remember their paparazzi sketch on Saturday Night Live? No? Because it aired in 2004? And I'm the only one who compulsively watches old SNL episodes as a kind of soothing white noise while I work? Okay!) With that said, I have to draw a long-overdue line in the sand when it comes to their constant and unremitting spoiling of scenes from unreleased film and television projects—whether it's Josh Safdie's Timothée Chalamet-fronted Marty Supreme, Emerald Fennell's already controversial Wuthering Heights , or the Devil Wears Prada sequel. I mean, remember Carrie Bradshaw's big, floppy gingham hat from the current season of And Just Like That ? That was something I should have learned about the old-fashioned way–on TV— not on Getty Images a year beforehand! A moment between Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow's characters in Marty Supreme that we almost certainly should not have seen until Christmas Day 2025! Getty Obviously, paparazzi taking pictures of TV and movie stars while they film is nothing new (especially when they're doing it in New York City, in broad daylight), but thanks to the ubiquity of Instagram, X, and every other social media app slowly sapping years off of my lifespan, it feels like there's been a shift in just how widely those pictures are disseminated—and how quickly they're absorbed by the Discourse, for better or for worse. Like, I'm as excited as you would imagine any Vogue employee to be about The Devil Wears Prada 2 , but I'm not going to lie: already knowing what Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs wears in the movie is kind of letting the wind out of my sails. I want to imagine Andy's grown-up, post- Runway world for as long as I can until the movie's actually in cinemas, okay? Ditto for Ryan Murphy's upcoming Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy series, actually. Yes, I'm devouring every paparazzi photo of a blonded-up Sarah Pidgeon like candy, but I'm feeling just as mildly nauseous and overstimulated in the aftermath as I do when I polish off an entire bag of gummy peach rings and call it 'lunch'. One could argue that if I really wanted to discourage the spread of these spoilery pap shots, I could simply stop trawling Getty Images and SplashNews and republishing them—but come on. We in fashion and entertainment media rely on the shadowy paparazzo economy to do our jobs. What I do think would be nice, however, is if paps respected the bounds of intellectual property just a little bit more, and stuck mostly to haunting the Meatpacking District, looking for drunk, overexposed celebutantes doing embarrassing stuff on their way out of clubs, as per tradition. Just let me look forward to something on this cruel mortal coil, for God's sake! This story was originally published on British Vogue.

Taylor Swift just announced her next album, The Life of a Showgirl
Taylor Swift is back, and live from…Travis Kelce's podcast studio in Kansas City? It's true!

The caption? 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' Next, the New Heights Instagram account teased a special episode with a 'VERY' special guest—capitalisation pulled directly from the caption. (The post's comments were quickly filled with fans fairly confident about who that guest would be.) Then came a video featuring Travis and Taylor herself, who exclaimed: 'We're about to do a f***ing podcast!' The reveal of the album's title followed on August 12 at 12:12 a.m. ET. So, what's the story behind The Life of a Showgirl ? And what's with all the orange, for that matter? Only time—and, well, the Kelce brothers' podcast—will tell. Tune in this Wednesday at 7 p.m. This story was originally published on
