What celebrities wear to awards shows is, at this point, pretty predicable. The protocol of Hollywood legacy demands they dress at least relatively tame.
But fashion people going to an awards show where they’re the celebs? There are no decorum dictates there! From gowns to shorts, heels to moto boots, fur to chiffon, minis to maxis, trad plaids to 3D florals, it was all on show at The Daily Front Row’s Eighth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Sunday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel — on ladies and gentlemen.
At this awards show — where honorees included the legendary Bob Mackie, A-list hairstylist Adir Abergel, makeup artist Rachel Goodwin, models Elsa Hosk and Amelia Gray, and The Hollywood Reporter co-editor-in-chief Maer Roshan — the dress code “anything goes” is an understatement.

Amelia Gray may have been named model of the year at The Daily Front Row’s eighth annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Sunday, but she’s certainly thinking beyond the catwalk.
Gray tells me she’ll probably try following in the acting footsteps of her parents, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin… eventually
“It is in my blood, but I have a lot more boxes to check,” she said on the red carpet. “I’m a firm believer in, focus on one thing, finish that and then start the next book once you finish the first one. We’re not even halfway done finishing the first book. We’ve got a lot more to do.”

Celeste Barber is headed to North America. The multihyphenate, who has been nicknamed the “Australian Queen of Comedy,” announced this morning that she’ll be hitting the road in May with the Backup Dancer Tour across the United States and Canada.
Produced by Live Nation, the 20-plus city tour kicks off with a performance at the Netflix Is a Joke Comedy Festival at L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre on May 2. She’ll continue with dates through June and stops in New York, Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Toronto, Las Vegas, Austin, Texas, and more. The tour will wrap in Chicago at Athenaeum Center on June 21. “Coming in hot America,” Barber teased today on Instagram, where she has north of 10 million followers.
The outing reps Barber’s third international tour and second U.S. tour. Her previous run, Celeste Barber: Fine, Thanks, produced a special filmed at the Sydney Opera House that was released on Netflix last year.

We’re now at the end of 2023, and the list of canceled Netflix shows for the year is now complete. Below, we’ll look at all the high-profile cancelations (that have been announced anyway) as of December 2023.
Cancelations are a painful part of being a Netflix subscriber. There’s nothing worse than starting a show only to discover that it’ll never properly conclude. Netflix isn’t the only network by any means to cancel, but given the scale of the service globally and the amount of content it produces, it’s easy to see why Netflix is the boogeyman.
With that said, Netflix does renew plenty, with over 150 shows at any given time set to return for future seasons.
There will also be lots and lots of shows that fall outside of this list into two camps.
Naturally ending shows include The Crown, Firefly Lane, and Never Have I Ever.

“Netflix said it’s something about numbers. Sure. I thought it smashed it but I don’t understand how it works,” she said.

Australian actress and social media star Celeste Barber is having something of a moment — actually, another moment.
Barber has enjoyed a steady career in Australian TV and comedy for years, but she first exploded into global consciousness in 2015 when she created the Instagram hashtag #CelesteChallengeAccepted, which she used to parody glossy posts of models and celebrities, swapping the pouts and scantily clad poses of the Kardashian-Jenners with more human recreations hilariously starring herself. This instantly relatable critique of social media’s supposedly aspirational — but brutally unrealistic — beauty standards struct a major chord on the platform. Over the intervening years, as Barber has kept posting (she later added video parodies, too), her Instagram following has grown to 9.5 million — more than many of the celebs she initially skewered.
In the wake of her social media success, Barber continued working in Australian television, with well-received supporting roles on shows like How Not to Behave...

Celeste Barber: Fine, thanks is a Netflix stand-up comedy special directed by Catherine Vanderwolf with the great Celeste Barber.
After the success of Wellmania, we see again the charming and wonderful Celeste Barber, this time from the Sydney Opera House, with a devoted audience, with her shorts and, above all, with that naturalness that has conquered thousands of people in Australia and which now, thanks to Netflix, we can enjoy twice over.
If you know her or if you are already fans, you know she is a sweetheart who knows how to find the middle ground between the daring and the inappropriate with a humor that is familiar and at the same time eccentric, always natural, and always “good-vibed”.
A humorist who has accomplished how to “accept herself” in a way that has dazzled many and that, with her good vibes, has made her a star of the small screen.
After the success of Wellmania, we see again the charming and wonderful Celeste Barber, this time from the Sydney Opera House, with a devoted audience, with her shorts and, above all, with that naturalness that has conquered thousands of people in Australia and which now, thanks to Netflix, we can enjoy twice over.

One of the most eagerly anticipated series of the spring is coming to Netflix on April 6. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun star in “Beef” as strangers involved in a road-rage incident. But rather than let insurance sort it out, the two drivers morph into lunatics bent on revenge, resulting in increasingly harrowing — and hilarious — circumstances.
Watch the trailer for “Beef”:
More than just a meme, on April 13, Netflix unveils limited series “Florida Man,” which follows a struggling ex-cop (played by Edgar Ramírez) forced to return to his home state of Florida to find a Philly mobster’s runaway girlfriend. What should be a quick gig becomes a wildly spiraling journey into buried family secrets and an increasingly futile attempt to do the right thing in a place where so much is wrong.

Also coming to Netflix in April will be the final chapter of “Firefly Lane.

The hour-long special will stream on Netflix in 2023. According to Netflix, Barber will be exploring topics ranging from celebrity sex toys to why hot girls can’t dance, and detailing the giddy euphoria and brutal devastation of being invited to Coachella – the same year it was cancelled.
Barber’s sold out Sydney Opera House show follows a world tour that took in North America, the UK and several European countries.
Barber is also working with Netflix on previously announced dramedy series Wellmania, inspired by Brigid Delaney’s novel Wellmania: Misadventures In The Search For Wellness, which will also be launched in 2023.

Dolly Parton was everywhere at SXSW, from her documentary Still Working 9-5 to her collaboration with Blockchain Creative Labs which involved both a well-received performance at Austin City Limits and Dollyverse NFTs. There’s a reason she’s still an icon, and Gracie Otto’s hilarious Seriously Red has decades of witticisms and quotes to draw upon. Written and starring Krew Boylan as Raylene “Red” Delancy (a Dolly impersonator with naturally smaller breasts and red hair) and framed by Dolly quotes—including “find out who you are and do it on purpose” and “it costs a lot of money to look cheap”—it’s one of those films where a thirty-something comes of age from sheer will and stubbornness.
After being fired from her job as a real estate appraiser over sexual-harassment claims stemming from a holiday party, she takes it as a sign to focus on her primary gig.

“We need more Dollys in the world,” is the message of this raucous but hugely enjoyable comedy, which, at the same time, reminds us that there is—and can only be—one Dolly Parton. The 76-year-old country legend is having quite a moment at SXSW this year, arriving at the festival with a concert to promote her new album (and novel) Run, Rose, Run and her online Nft project Dollyverse, while riding a wave of public goodwill after her philanthropic support of the Covid vaccine with a $1 million donation.
Surprisingly, despite its subject’s bona fides as an all-time American icon, Seriously Red hails from Australia, the country that gave us Strictly Ballroom (1992) and The Sapphires (2012). The residual influence of both films can be felt here, but the template has to be P.J. Hogan’s seminal Muriel’s Wedding, which made a star of Toni Collette in 1994. Directed by Gracie Otto,...
