Simon Calder: The Jack Reacher of travel journalism

Simon Calder: The Jack Reacher of travel journalism

Published by Sam Flores

Simon Calder pictured in Armenia. Credit: Charlotte Hindle The Telegraph’s new travel correspondent is known in my house as “Simon Available” because you can count on him popping up on radio and TV at the first sign of breaking news in his field. So when I emailed Simon Calder to request an interview it was no surprise that he readily agreed. He arrives wearing a summer-weight navy suit and carry-on rucksack, his features are set in a familiar rictus of amiability. It’s the expression we’ve seen so many times on our TV screens as he brings us reassuring updates on baggage-handlers’ go-slows and Eurostar walkouts. He is probably one of the most trusted journalists in the country but we know little about him apart from his willing manner and the glint of his spectacles in strong foreign sunshine. Now an improbable 70-year-old, Calder was born in Crawley, Sussex, practically on the tarmac of Gatwick Airport, and absorbed aviation fuel with his mother’s milk. “We used to go up to the airport for an outing, knowing we …

Grace Gummer Talks Finale, Jack Schlossberg’s Criticism

Grace Gummer Talks Finale, Jack Schlossberg’s Criticism

Published by Daniella Wilson

Grace Gummer had a competing offer for another show when Ryan Murphy stepped in and persuaded her to join his series chronicling the tragic romance between America’s prince, John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly), and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon). “He called me and was like, ‘What is this other show you’re doing? Why don’t you do our show? I promise, it’s going to be amazing,’” Gummer recalls. “He’s very, very direct; he knows what he wants, and he’s decisive and smart as hell. So I trust him.” The collaboration was hardly new territory, as the 40-year-old actress had worked with Murphy on American Horror Story: Coven, American Horror Story: Freak Show and, most recently, the first season of All’s Fair, opposite Kim Kardashian. Still, Love Story, from creator Connor Hines, presented what Gummer describes as one of her greatest challenges yet. “I think being the age that I am and having lived through what I’ve lived through put me in the best possible position to explore a character like Caroline Kennedy and to give …

White Stripes Star Jack White Is Showing Art at Damien Hirst’s Gallery

Published by José Betancourt

Jack White, who growled and grinded as the singer/guitarist of the White Stripes and has since positioned himself as a primal rock god on his own, is showing a new side as a sculptor with a show opening in a London gallery run by none other than Damien Hirst. As chronicled in the Financial Times, he two artists first met in 2021, when White was readying a new outpost of his Nashville-based Third Man Records store in Soho, across the street from Hirst’s studio. White played a show from Hirst’s balcony for the opening and caused a scene: “The guerrilla concert brought the neighbourhood to a standstill; a crowd of thousands sang along to The White Stripes’ driving anthem, ‘Seven Nation Army.” Related Articles When White showed Hirst pictures of artworks he’d made as a sort of secretive side-project, Hirst said they should mount a show—and five years later the result is “Jack White: THESE THOUGHTS MAY DISAPPEAR,” opening at Newport Street Gallery on May 29 and running through September 13. White has long shown …

The 40-year-old reality star, who in November competed on the British survival series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, condemned recent articles written about his weight. “I cannot believe I’m having to actually make this f***ing video,” Jack said Wednesday in an Instagram video. “If I see one more article written about me saying how I’m ‘sick,’ I’m ‘grossly underweight’, [that I’m] ‘health crisis Jack’… It’s f***ing insane.” He insisted that he has not lost any weight since he finished filming I’m A Celebrity in Australia more than six months ago. “I’ve been the same f***ing weight,” he argued. “The only …

John Krasinski on how James Bond veteran took Jack Ryan to next level

John Krasinski on how James Bond veteran took Jack Ryan to next level

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jack Ryan is a character we’ve seen in cinema many times before, with the CIA analyst having been played on the big screen by a succession of big name actors: Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine. The most recent adaptation of Tom Clancy’s popular novels, however, has been a small screen project. John Krasinski portrayed the character across four seasons on a self-titled Prime Video series between 2018 and 2023, which broadly attracted positive reviews throughout its run. Now, that series has been given a feature-length spin-off – albeit one which is premiering on streaming rather than in cinemas – with Krasinski back in the lead role and also on co-screenwriting duties.

‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War’ Review: A Solid, Safe, Espionage Endeavor

‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War’ Review: A Solid, Safe, Espionage Endeavor

Published by skeptic

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is back in Ghost War, the first full-length movie starring John Krasinski as the famed CIA operative. The movie, directed by Andrew Bernstein (who directed episodes of the TV series), premieres on Prime Video on Wednesday. If you’re at all familiar with the four-season series that preceded it, you’re about to get more of the same. Well, sorta. When Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan TV series premiered, I was all in. Truthfully, I am a sucker for espionage stories and spy thrillers, and I write about TV, so having Clancy’s iconic character make the leap to episodic storytelling was a no-brainer for me to tune in. I didn’t stick with it, though.  Jack Ryan feels more at home in self-contained, big-budget action films. Just look at the previous iterations of the character as played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine. Well, three years after the original series concluded, we’re getting a new Jack Ryan movie — except, it’s not in theaters. Read more: Prime Video: The 31 Absolute Best Shows …

Jack Schlossberg Speaks Out on Sister Tatiana’s Death Amid Campaign

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jack Schlossberg is reflecting on losing his sister, Tatiana Schlossberg, who died in December at age 35 after battling cancer. Schlossberg, who’s currently running to represent New York’s 12th congressional district in the House of Representatives, recently spoke with Vanity Fair, where he discussed how he hasn’t processed his sister’s death. “I don’t think I’ll ever process it. I don’t think I’ll ever,” he said. “The world will never be the same for me, not only since she passed away but since she was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago.” Schlossberg added, “She was my best friend. We could finish each other’s sentences. And no one loved me or was a bigger fan of me of anyone else than my sister. So I miss her all the time. Every day I think about her. But it also really does motivate me to do everything I can with every waking moment I have, because I realize it could have just as easily been me, and I have an obligation to her, not just to myself, …
