Chart of lust
Who we,re loving and living for this week...
1. New in MOBEEN AZHAR
Whose documentary Hometown (BBC Three) investigates the 2017 death of Mohammed Yassar Yaqub, and showcases his talent eminently. He’s like Louis Theroux X Sarah Koenig.
2. Up AMERICA FERRERA
While settling down early for Love Island, we’ve encountered Superstore, the sit-com which runs before it on ITV2, and stars the artist formerly known as Ugly Betty. We grow increasingly smitten.
3. Non-mover MARK RONSON
His new album Late Night Feelings is now available for you to stream, he’s doing promotional rounds, so it is that we re-remember how very (very!) much we fancy him.
4. Up RYLAN CLARK-NEAL
Reality TV show phenom turned showbiz reporter turned Brexit expert. Widely adored. Said last week, ‘I’m not under any illusion I’m an A-lister; I don’t think I’m even on the alphabet scale.’
5. Up PIP SCHOFIELD V AMANDA HOLDEN
Daytime TV is torn asunder with rumours of beef, devious career-sabotaging machinations, et cetera and so on. Feuds are the flipside of lust – never forget.
6. New in @BLONDED
Frank Ocean’s Instagram page, which is about as raw, silly and casually considered as any we’ve seen. We like him even more for it.
7. New in YARA SHAHIDI
At the BET Awards last week, effortlessly combining two jumpers, a be-sequinned sarong and plaits, which shouldn’t even be possible.
8. Non-mover ZOË KRAVITZ
With specific reference to the purple dress and ’70s heels combo she wears in the opening credits of Big Little Lies.
9. Non-mover EMMA STONE
Who broke her shoulder after becoming too energetically involved at the Spice Girls’ concert. We love the level of dedication, mind.
10. Down BORIS BECKER
Put a selection of his trophies, sweatbands and commemorative goblets up for auction to raise some cash because – who hasn’t had to flog off their commemorative goblets from time to time, eh?
