In the wake of a viral hit, new sobriety and fatherhood, the rocker scrapped the album he had been working on to make a less-polished LP.

(Vertigo) Devastating moments are dressed up with warm production and kinetic 00s R&B in the now quiff-less singer’s grownup fourth album Over the six years that La Roux, AKA Elly Jackson, was making her fourth album, the singer ended a 17-year relationship, confronted her weed dependency, received autism and ADHD diagnoses and lopped off her signature Johnny Bravo-esque quiff. One might expect the resulting record to be meditative and maudlin; the opening songs Cabin Fever and Lose Myself , focused on poor mental health and addiction respectively, suggest it will be fraught and claustrophobic. The former’s suffocating bass and unsteady synths segue into the latter’s unnerving nursery rhyme-like verses and thrashing chorus, reminiscent of the crunchier elements of HIStory-era Michael Jackson. What follows, though, is an autopsy of a relationship delivered through kinetic turn-of-the-millennium R&B and 90s-indebted pop. Jackson resists melodrama and, even at its most devastating, the songs are dressed up with enticing hooks and warm production. “Feels like you’re slipping right out of my life,” she admits on To Make Our Love, though the song bounces along like Ace of Base’s All That She Wants, while Night Vision, despite its crushing lyrics – “you keep building me up and then letting me go” – recalls the top-down breeziness of Mariah Carey’s Heartbreaker.

The veteran travel writer turns his eye for detail on his northern neighbour and its people Paul Theroux’s arrival in Canada doesn’t go well. An immigration officer called Sweeney finds a small pocketknife in his car and fines him $500 for failing to declare a weapon. “I’m going to make you famous,” he angrily tells her, stumping up. Maybe he will, with this book. Canadians are reputed to be polite and easygoing, “slaves to their courtesy”, but the country has changed enormously in recent years. Will Theroux find it stuffed with Sweeney-ites? Luckily the answer is no. He issues a warning that, after 11 previous travel books, this may be his last; global overtourism appals him and so does much travel writing. But he shares Jack Kerouac’s delight in being on the road, and from his home in Massachusetts it’s just a four-hour drive to the border. His purpose is less to check out “the strangers next door” than to visit the village of Yamaska, in Quebec. It was there that a Frenchman called Antoine Theroux settled in the 17th century; a dozen or more Theroux families still live there; one local street is called Rue Theroux. The author isn’t only made welcome but presented with a certificate of honour by the local mayor. He repays the honour with a long chapter of family history. Continue reading...

Former comedian long traded on his extreme persona, yet many will wonder how he was allowed to act in plain sight for so long In the early 1990s, when he was a student at the Italia Conti theatre school, a teenage Russell Brand became so fixated on a classmate that he followed her for 200 miles, trailing her through the streets of London before sneaking, ticketless, on to her train to Wigan. By his own admission, she did not want him to accompany her, far less come to her family home, but he did anyway, and got into bed with her. There, he “lied and danced and evoked the spirit of Pan till she reluctantly removed her bra” before deploying “tears and emotional blackmail to secure the immolation of her knickers”.

Paris Jackson accused executor John Branca of financial retaliation after she challenged his handling of Michael Jackson's multibillion-dollar estate.

Riverdale’s KJ Apa gives surprisingly solid performance but this corny look at iconic actor’s life is missed opportunity The last time New Zealand actor KJ Apa took on a midcentury American pop-cultural icon, he was playing a nominally sexy yet often weirdly bloodless version of Archie Andrews, the feckless teen next door on the comic-book riff Riverdale. He also frequently ceded scenes to his scene partners, whether former teen idols like Luke Perry or newer, more dynamic personalities like Camila Mendes or Madelaine Petsch. Now he’s taking on an even more beloved and therefore trickier part: James Stewart, the Pennsylvania-accented avatar of decency who starred in dozens of classic films and spent decades as a box office mainstay. Yes, Archie has been promoted to a Jimmy Stewart biopic. The movie, called just plain Jimmy, focuses on Stewart’s willing military service during the second world war and its immediate aftermath. Here, Apa is in far less danger of being outshined by his co-stars; it’s competing memories of the real Stewart, available through so many great, good, and watchable-because-of-him movies, that he has to worry about. The substantial and perhaps only surprise that Jimmy has up its sleeve is that Apa does a reasonable imitation of one of the most immediately distinctive movie stars of all time. Plenty of people can approximate that famous voice, less clipped and urbane than so many of his costars, but Apa gets some of his gangly physicality, too. In scenes of distress (whether real-life or acted out on a movie set), he captures the way Stewart could look and sound as if he was about to topple over with overflowing emotion when he got himself worked up for a big scene. It’s not a note-perfect recreation, or even a particularly surprising one, but Apa does disappear into it. Continue reading...

This year’s festive special looks forward to the time when chatbots reign supreme and humans prepare to be stamped out for ever. What a treat! John Lewis Christmas ad stars Kristin Scott Thomas as glamorous granny on a gift hunt The John Lewis Christmas advert no longer lands with the same thud as old. Once it prompted full media saturation and performative crying contests on social media. Now, more often than not, it’s the thing you skip before watching cat videos on YouTube. Nevertheless, its release is still an event, and so here we are again. This year, either by fluke or by design, John Lewis has managed to remember that it is a shop, and not simply a vessel for feelings of unfathomable sadness. Rather than being a vignette about lonely penguins or Moon Hitlers or Elton John’s growing fears about his own mortality, the John Lewis Christmas advert is literally about a woman going shopping. Admittedly there are caveats, but we’ll get to those. For the most part, this is less ‘Christmas can be emotionally brutal’ and more ‘Hey guys, remember shops?’ That has to be a good thing.

From the beheading in The Omen to the attic scene in The Birds, here’s a countdown of the genre’s most iconic moments – in glorious, old-school pre-CGI style Towards the end of the 20th century, when film-makers’ overreliance on CGI was increasingly making special effects less special, it took the old-school practical approach of Japanese film-maker Hideo Nakata to make one’s hair stand on end. Just when you think the cursed VHS tape has claimed its last victim, Sadako’s vengeful ghost emerges from the well, comes closer … and climbs out of the television screen. Continue reading...
