MOCA Gala 2026 honors Kara Walker and Paul McCarthy

Artist Piero Golia was the creative director of this year’s MOCA gala, which honored artists Kara Walker and Paul McCarthy, pictured here with Golia, along with MOCA trustee Eugenio López Alonso. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles hosted its annual gala over the weekend, bringing art world and Hollywood royalty to Little Tokyo — from Barbara Kruger and Charles Gaines to Ava DuVernay and Keanu Reeves. It was the second year that the gala took on the “Moca Legends” format, which recognizes figures who “cement the museum as a global leader in contemporary art,” per MOCA. This year’s event honored artists Kara Walker and Paul McCarthy, along with MOCA trustee Eugenio López Alonso. When entering the galleries for cocktail hour on Saturday, guests essentially walked into a small but immersive slice of these artists’ worlds. An installation conceived by the evening’s creative director, artist Piero Golia, celebrated Walker’s seminal “Monuments” commission and McCarthy’s famous “White Snow.” Trees from the “White Snow” project were lit up moodily throughout the space. While a process photograph taken …

Rockies’ Jake McCarthy Becomes First Left Fielder Since 2013 to Record Unassisted Double Play

McCarthy charged in on a sinking line drive from Bryan Reynolds, catching the ball on a full sprint for the second out of the first inning. Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz — who started on second base — was near third when McCarthy made the catch, so the 28-year-old continued to jog toward the infield, stepping on second for the final out. It was the first unassisted double play by a left fielder since Jonny Gomes on July 31, 2013, according to Elias Sports Bureau. The Rockies won the game 10-4. Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.

How Shakespeare Brought Down McCarthy

How Shakespeare Brought Down McCarthy

Revenge is a dish best served cold, but how cold? Can we set that dish to cool for 400 years? Satisfaction so long deferred might seem beside the point. We want to watch our enemies humbled in an instant, to see their heads bowed low before our rage burns clean. In A Treacherous Secret Agent, the prominent Harvard English professor Marjorie Garber proposes a subtler and far slower model of revenge. Garber’s subject is the role of literature in the Red Scare of the 1950s, a period during which artists and writers suspected of Communist sympathies were scapegoated, blacklisted, and hauled in front of investigative committees. In transcripts of hearings of the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Garber finds an upwelling of voices from the literary past, among them Christopher Marlowe, the revenge dramatist Thomas Kyd, and, from first to last, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare. The words of these long-dead playwrights and poets, Garber argues, “echo and reecho at key moments in an uncanny counter-testimony,” often in ways that embarrass or undermine Senator Joseph McCarthy, …

Donnie Wahlberg’s Boston Blue co-star teases role for his wife Jenny McCarthy on the show

Donnie Wahlberg’s Boston Blue co-star teases role for his wife Jenny McCarthy on the show

Blue Bloods and Boston Blue have long had a presence in Jenny McCarthy‘s life, even if she’s never actually been on the show. Her husband Donnie Wahlberg has been starring as Danny Reagan for well over ten years now, first opposite Tom Selleck on Blue Bloods, which was cancelled in 2024. Now he has reprised the character for the spin-off Boston Blue, and his co-star Sonequa Martin-Green insists the former reality star has a role in it. © Getty ImagesDonnie has played Danny since 2010 Speaking with Us Weekly, Sonequa, who stars as Donnie’s police partner Lena Silver, first gave insight into her and her husband Kenric Green’s close bond with Donnie and Jenny. “I’m always texting with Jenny and Donnie’s always texting with Kenric.

‘Wednesday’ Season 3 Adds Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy and James Lance

‘Wednesday’ Season 3 Adds Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy and James Lance

The Addams Family is growing. On Thursday, Netflix revealed a trio of new guest stars for Wednesday season three, including another alum from the Game of Thrones universe. Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire) and James Lance (Ted Lasso) have joined the madness — production on the smash-hit show’s third season is currently underway near Dublin. We do not yet have a sense of premiere timing — let alone a release date — for Wednesday season three. There’s also not much of a predictable pattern to guesstimate off of: Wednesday season one debuted over Thanksgiving week in 2022, which definitely paid off for Netflix. Season two was split into two parts with the first batch dropping in early August 2025 and the second in early September. It stands to reason that Netflix will go with another split season — a trick to keep churn rates down. Previously announced season three cast members include Eva Green (Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children), Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice), Chris Sarandon (Dog Day Afternoon), Noah …

Jack Black is back on Saturday Night Live — and he has officially joined the Five-Timers club! The Super Mario Galaxy Movie star kicked off his hosting monologue by addressing that it was his fifth time hosting the sketch comedy series, before he was joined by a starry lineup of guests who, too, have hosted the show (at least) five times. “I am so thrilled to be back hosting SNL for the fifth time. It’s a huge honor to join the Five-Timers club,” he said. “I’m a five-timer!” Black was first joined by his Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot co-star Jonah Hill, who was sporting a Five-Timers robe. “It is so good to see you. What have you been up to, man?” Black said, to which Hill joked, “Well, I’ve actually been working on Superbad 2!” The two walked through a door to the Five-Timers lounge, which prompted Hill to tell Black, “Jack, we need your help. There’s something wrong with the Five-Timers Club. You see what I mean?” “Yes, you’re right, …

The Masked Singer judge, 53, said she went through six months of “living hell” due to a medical mystery until she was diagnosed with mycotoxin poisoning — also known as toxic mold. “The last time I was here, I was literally on my way to the biological dentist because I had gone through six months of living hell,” McCarthy said on Tuesday’s episode of Maria Menounos’ Heal Squad podcast. “I had an infected root canal. What wound up happening was it didn’t get cleaned out all the way.” McCarthy said that she underwent several surgeries as she tried to figure out the source of her symptoms, which …

The McCarthy Revivalists – The Atlantic

The McCarthy Revivalists – The Atlantic

For decades, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy’s name has been used as shorthand for the opposite of the aspirational ideal of civilized American politics. In the way that Kleenex has become interchangeable with tissue, McCarthyism, for many, is an eponym for the unjust, reprehensible use of political power. Indicating that anything resembled the tactics and smears of the late senator from Wisconsin has been enough to suggest that such behavior was out of bounds, with no rightful place in our modern politics. But now comes a small, influential group of hard-line right-wingers who believe that, in the words of one popular meme in such circles, McCarthy was right. McCarthyite revivalism has flitted around the edges of American conservatism since the senator fell from grace during his conspiratorial anti-Communist campaign in the 1950s. In 1954, the conservative patron saint William F. Buckley Jr. and his friend and fellow conservative thinker L. Brent Bozell Jr. defended the senator in their book, McCarthy and His Enemies, as a sometimes-misguided figure unfairly maligned for his justified quest to root out …
