Mark Kermode on… Kathryn Bigelow, a stylish ruffler of feathers

-
From vampire noir to Bin Laden, Point Break to Detroit, the first woman to win an Oscar for best director has never pulled her punches Watching new Jeff Nichols release The Bikeriders , starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy as 60s Chicago greasers, I was reminded of two other movies: László Benedek’s 1953 Marlon Brando vehicle The Wild One , explicitly cited as an inspiration, and The Loveless , the 1981 feature debut of Kathryn Bigelow , the American film-maker (b.1951) who would go on to become the first woman to win a best director Oscar with her 2008 war drama The Hurt Locker . A symphony of leather-clad posing (with just a touch of Kenneth Anger ), The Loveless was a staple of the late-night circuit in the 80s, often on a double bill with David Lynch’s Eraserhead .

The author of the sketch of the original "naked" dress of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, fashion designer Bob McKee, was unhappy with the appearance of Kim Kardashian on the red carpet of the Met Gala. It is reported by Entertainment Weekly. "I think it was a big mistake," Mackey said in an interview with the publication. Marilyn was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. No one was photographed like her. And this dress was made for her. No one else was to be seen in it." McKee also shared historians' concerns that Monroe's dress may have been damaged by Kardashian wearing it. Usually, such rare things are stored in museums under glass.

After marrying Amber Heard, Johnny Depp changed the name of his yacht

-
After marrying Amber Heard, Johnny Depp changed the name of his yacht. Long before Johnny Depp and Amber Heard entered into years of legal battles, this couple had a completely amicable union. Although this may seem like a distant memory to some, the two were once so in love with each other that Depp renamed his luxury yacht in honor of his new wife. The actors met in 2009 on the set of The Rum Diary. It was on this set that their romance was born, despite the fact that at that time, they were in relationships with other people. However, colleagues still shared an intimate kiss on the screen, which later developed into a relationship. As a result, Depp broke up with his legal wife and mother of his children Vanessa Paradise, and Amber sacrificed her relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree for the sake of engagement with a Hollywood star in 2014. The lovers tied the knot in 2015, and on this occasion, the Pirates of the Caribbean star gave his bride an extravagant gift. Johnny Depp
