If it’s happening in the world of entertainment, it’s for the culture. And there’s a lot going on. For example, New York is insufferable right now and it kind of earned it. (Sam Smith is even writing love songs about it.) Oprah is out here discovering the mute button after four decades of letting the haters live rent free. Howard Stern is doing the math on what one show a week means for a man who built an empire on showing up every morning. Ryan Murphy is dangling a Glee reboot in front of a country that could use a show choir. And Kaia Gerber writes fan fiction she has no intention of posting. Everyone here is being weird and nobody is sorry. 

Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott and Lauren Giella break down this week’s hottest stories.
