See Comedian Pete Davidson’s Art-Filled Home for Sale for $2 M.

Pete Davidson, the lovable lunk who made his name on Saturday Night Live and went on to star on the silver screen (as well as in the annals of dubious boat-ownership), put his house in suburban Westchester, New York, on the market—while revealing a considerable art collection assembled over the years. The listing with Ginnel Real Estate includes an asking price of $2.28 million for a 2,300-square-foot country house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms on a lot with an idyllic pond and “six spectacular acres with rolling lawns, old stone walls, ornamental trees, and perennial gardens.” The many amenities include a wine cellar, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge tub, and a covered lap pool with “swim jet and automatic phantom screens,” as well as an outbuilding with a media/game room and gym. As noted by Artnet News, Davidson appears to have amassed an art collection of works and prints by artists including Peter Max, Mickey Paraskevas, Al Hirschfeld, Mel Ramos, Bradshaw Crandell, and the Italian design brand Gufram. Below, see some pictures from the …

NAACP host addresses backlash to joke about John Davidson’s racial Tourettes outburst at Baftas

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Comedian and actor Deon Cole has addressed growing backlash to a controversial joke he made about John Davidson’s involuntary racial slur at the Baftas. Cole, whose credits include the sitcom black-ish, hosted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Awards on Saturday (28 February), and brought up the incident in which Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, shouted a slur while Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. “If there are any white men in the room with Tourette’s, I advise you to tell them to read the room, lord,” Cole said in a mock prayer, adding: “It might not go the way they thinketh. Whatever medicine they on, they better double up on it, lord.” The joke was met with initial gasps before the crowd laughed and applauded the quip. After the joke went viral …

Pete Davidson’s girlfriend Elsie Hewitt has guilt about breastfeeding decision

Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Elsie Hewitt is opening up about the guilt she’s felt as a mother after deciding not to breastfeed her daughter. The 29-year-old model, who welcomed her first child, Scottie Rose, with boyfriend Pete Davidson, 32, in December, wrote an essay for Elle about feeding her daughter formula. She described “exploring of the moral hierarchy around breastfeeding” and feeling the “quiet shame” that’s associated with formula feeding, as breastfeeding has been considered “the gold standard” for mothers. Hewitt wrote that her unplanned pregnancy came after “many years of feeling disconnected” from her body and living through “years of chronic pain” prior to receiving a stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis. She said that when she decided how she’d feed her baby, she thought about her mental and …

I research Tourette’s. Here’s what I think about John Davidson’s biopic, I Swear

I research Tourette’s. Here’s what I think about John Davidson’s biopic, I Swear

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter I Swear is a biographical drama based on Scottish campaigner John Davidson’s experience of Tourette’s syndrome. Spanning his teenage years to the present, it follows the first tics and their social fallout. It traces how Tourette’s syndrome – and the relationships and institutions around it – shape a life over decades. Swearing forms part of Davidson’s experience — the film opens with an expletive-laden outburst at his MBE ceremony. But I Swear is careful to stress that coprolalia (involuntary swearing) affects only a small minority of people with Tourette’s. In doing so, it moves decisively beyond the sensationalising of symptoms that so often dominates media representation. Davidson’s (Robert Aramayo) story begins in Galashiels, Scotland, in 1983, when he entered “big school”. At first, his tics are dismissed by teachers and classmates as little more than irritating, attention-seeking gestures. But gradually they …

The Fundamental Flaw of Pete Davidson’s Podcast

The Fundamental Flaw of Pete Davidson’s Podcast

The first question to confront when considering The Pete Davidson Show, a new Netflix series that the streamer is calling a “video podcast,” is: What is a podcast? The term can be a little difficult to pin down; what initially referred to downloadable audio files you ported onto your iPod is today used for most online radio. Now the notion of a podcast is transforming again to include filmed entertainment. Bite-size clips of chat programs are flooding every social-media feed, in a desperate hunt for engagement. But I would argue that podcasts should always involve a dedicated feed you can listen to on your phone. The Pete Davidson Show does not have that. Instead, the weekly program is available to consume only on Netflix, and only in video form. A cynic might wonder if branding The Pete Davidson Show a “podcast” is just a way for the streaming empire to avoid paying for the kind of unionized crews and production staff a talk show demands. Or perhaps, if I am being more charitable, Pete Davidson’s …
