Within seconds of it streaming, fans had deduced that the song Girl, So Confusing was probably about Lorde: all it took was the line “people say we’re alike / They say we’ve got the same hair”, riffing on a 2014 video where Charli and an interviewer did a bit about people confusing the two. In the song, Charli laid bare her anxieties about their relationship and admitted: “Sometimes I think you might hate me.” Exactly two weeks later came the Girl, So Confusing Featuring Lorde remix, brokered by the pair over text and voice note in the days after Brat came out. On Lorde’s verse, she owned up to ghosting on dinner dates with Charli and exposed the self-hate, projection and industry-fuelled sense of pop-girl-on-pop-girl rivalry that had made her shy away from...

8 d. ago Failure, misery and revenge: what can we learn from the Curb Your Enthusiasm book?

A new tell-all book looks back at Larry David’s singularly sour comedy series and recounts stories of its productionFor all the plaudits that Curb Your Enthusiasm received over its lifespan, for how funny and daring and groundbreaking it was, people seem to have missed the fact that it provided Larry David with the perfect opportunity to conceal his true self.The main character in the show (wealthy former Seinfeld showrunner Larry David) was so superficially similar to its creator (wealthy former Seinfeld showrunner Larry David) that people started to assume they were one and the same. And David seemed to welcome this, shying from most opportunities to reveal himself. On talkshows, he likes to retreat behind the same clutch of anecdotes. When former Seinfeld writer Larry Charles made a two-part documentary about David for HBO in 2022, David had it pulled from schedules the day before broadcast. When I interviewed him for a book I wrote about baldness last year, he only agreed on the...
