![Cyndi Lauper just wrapped a two-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl to finish off what she’s calling her farewell tour.
Except hold on: In just a couple of weeks, cyndilauper will premiere a new musical, “Working Girl,” at the La Jolla Playhouse — the long-awaited follow-up to her Broadway hit “Kinky Boots.” And the other day she revealed that, farewell tour barely behind her, she’ll head to Las Vegas next year for a limited residency at Caesars Palace to do it up “one last time” (or so she claims).
“She’s tired now — I mean, of course she’s gonna say that,” her friend Cher says. “She needs a rest. Every time you come off a tour, you’re dead. It’s not easy to get up there in the high heels and run around and sing.
“But if she can do it, it’s not the last one. If you’re a performer, you want to perform — it’s just that simple.”
We caught up with Lauper to talk about her career, the music, her upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and more.

![In an overstuffed workshop in East L.A., Chris Francis reached out a heavily tattooed arm and pulled a single shoe box from one of the floor-to-ceiling shelves lining the walls.
“Anjelica Huston,” the shoemaker and artist said. “Let’s see what’s in here.”
Removing the top of the box, he revealed two carved wooden forms known as shoe lasts that cobblers use to make their wares. Beneath those were strips of yellowing shoe patterns and a tracing of the actor’s foot with a note written in loopy cursive:
To Pasquale
My happy feet shall thank you
— Anjelica Huston
“Cool, huh?” Francis said, gazing reverently at the box’s contents. “Every time I open one it’s amazing. It’s like Christmas all the time.”
For the last three years, Francis has been surrounded by a sprawling archive of famous feet originally amassed by Pasquale Di Fabrizio, the late shoemaker to the stars. From the early ‘60s to the early 2000s, Di Fabrizio created custom footwear for the rich, famous and notorious out of his humble shoe shop on 3rd Street.

![The late night circuit got its version of a unique crossover event Tuesday night as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert appeared as guests on each other’s shows.
It was a fitting stunt considering jimmykimmel and stephenathome have been at the center of noteworthy professional situations shrouded in political and national significance, and both orbit in the same universe of President Trump’s contempt. The two hosts, who have vocally supported each other through the respective ordeals on their shows, were now able to continue the mutual backing in full force, face-to-face.

![For many, Jimmy Kimmel’s rebound appears to be a win for free speech and a testament to the power of boycotts against powerful corporate interests. However, for other writers, particularly comedy scribes, who view the events that transpired in the darkest, most McCarthy-esque terms, the fight over comedy may have just begun.
The cascade of anxiety comes at a time when Hollywood continues to struggle to get on solid footing after the pandemic lockdown, the dual labor strikes in 2023 and cost-cutting across the media landscape.
“Artists are already very concerned about our consolidated media ecosystem. A small shrinking number of gatekeepers control what Americans watch on TV, and these conglomerates are now being coerced into censoring us all by an administration that demands submission and obedience from what should be a free and independent media,” said television writer Meredith Stiehm, who is the outgoing president of Writers Guild of America West, during a rally in support of Kimmel outside the El Capitan Theatre last week.

“It’s actually really nice to be here because it was another home for me,” he told The Times.
At the end of that same year, officialtimcurry was back home in England to shoot the feature film version, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” a rock ’n’ roll send-up of old sci-fi and horror B-movies that became both a cult classic and a vibrant symbol for sexual freedom. It is the original midnight movie and is now being feted around the world for its 50th anniversary with a second life as the longest continuous theatrical release in cinema history.

![What began as a bluff has grown into the best film festival in Los Angeles, powered by eclectic, unpredictable programming and faithfully enthusiastic audiences.
“I remember we were just going to do one year,” said Grant Moninger, cofounder of Beyond Fest and artistic director of the American Cinematheque. “Everyone started asking, ‘What is going to be shown Year 2?’ And we were like, ‘Oh, there’s a Year 2?’”
The 13th edition of beyondfest in 2025, produced in partnership with the am_cinematheque, begins Tuesday night and runs through Oct. 8. Showing more than 90 features, with screenings at the Egyptian Theatre, Aero Theatre and Los Feliz 3, Beyond Fest will open with the U.S. premiere of Park Chan-wook’s satirical thriller nootherchoicefilm and closing with the sci-fi paranoia of Yorgos Lanthimos’ new bugoniafilm. The program will also feature an expansive retrospective of 12 features by Guillermo del Toro, with the filmmaker present for select screenings.
Past highlights of the festival include #Parasite filmmaker Bong Joon Ho spiking a beach ball into the audience, Arnold Schwarzenegger arm-wrestling a 9-year-old boy and James Cameron making a rare appearance to screen the special edition of #TheAbyss in 2023 (pictured above) — moments that won’t happen anywhere else.
Part of what makes Beyond Fest so exciting is its broad-ranging programming. Though rooted in the concept of genre — which typically means a selection of gritty thrillers, horror and action — Beyond Fest pushes well past such basic concepts.
“It really comes back to what does genre mean?” says Christian Parkes, cofounder of Beyond Fest. “There’s what it meant, at a certain place and time. But why does it have to mean that today? If you look at the filmmakers and their inspirations and then the people that are watching these films, we can be a part of opening the debate. It’s always evolving.”

![Jimmy Kimmel will return to ABC on Tuesday night, the Walt Disney Co. said.
The move follows conversations between the two sides to figure out how to defuse the situation that began with Kimmel’s comments in the aftermath of the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the company said in a statement. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.”
“We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

![More than 100 protesters packed the sidewalk outside the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday, a day after ABC pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the network over the host’s comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Protesters held up signs that read “Don’t bend the knee to trump,” and “Douse the Mouse.” Visitors strolling Hollywood Boulevard stopped to gawk at the gathering, which blocked two lanes of eastbound traffic in the busy tourist area.
Kimmel said during a monologue on his Monday program that Tyler Robinson, the Utah man accused of fatally shooting Kirk, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. He said “MAGA gang” was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Kimmel also mocked President Trump for providing an update on the construction of a new White House ballroom after being asked how he was handling the murder of his close ally.
On Tuesday, law enforcement officials revealed that Robinson had liberal political leanings and told his partner in a text exchange that he “had enough of his [Kirk’s] hatred,” and “some hate can’t be negotiated.”
Nexstar Media Group responded on Wednesday, saying that it would pull the show from its ABC affiliate stations because of Kimmel’s comments. Walt Disney Co.-owned ABC then announced it would pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely.’’

![Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie #OneBattleAfterAnother opens in chaos.
“You know, everybody in this movie is crazy for the most part,” the filmmaker tells The Times’ columnist Glenn Whipp.
The movie features absurdist comedy and electrifying action scenes, as well as the tone and imagery we routinely see played out today on news channels and social media. It’s operatic and intimate, haunting and hilarious. It could be his masterpiece. It’s no stretch to say that it belongs alongside Anderson’s best films: “There Will Be Blood,” “The Master” and “Boogie Nights.”
Is “One Battle After Another” the movie for our current moment? Anderson isn’t quite convinced.
“That’s the mistake, isn’t it, to think that anything has changed,” he says. “This story could be told 20 years ago. This story could be told in the Middle Ages. You could take this story and put it in space. It’s like the line Perfidia says in the movie: ‘Sixteen years later, and the world has changed very little.’”
“The biggest mistake I could make in a story like this is to put politics up in the front,” Anderson continues. “That has a short shelf life. To sustain a story over two hours and 40 minutes, you have to care about the characters and take those big swings in terms of the emotional arcs of people and their pursuits and why you love that person and why you hate this person. That’s not a thing that ever goes out of fashion. But neither does fascism and neither does people doing bad s— to other people. Unfortunately, that doesn’t go out of style, either. That’s just how we humans are.”

![Walt Disney Co.-owned broadcaster ABC said it is pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live” indefinitely following sharp backlash over the host’s remarks about slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The move comes after station owner Nexstar Media Group said it would yank the show from its ABC affiliate stations as a result of the comments.
The Irving, Texas-based Nexstar announced Wednesday that Kimmel will be off its stations for the foreseeable future.
Nexstar’s decision comes just after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel and threatened to take action against ABC. Appearing on the podcast of right-wing commentator Benny Johnson, Carr said one form of punishment could be pulling the licenses of ABC affiliates, which likely got Nexstar’s attention.

![“An office supply store, a news network and an airline carrier are among companies that recently fired staff who made comments about [the death of Charlie Kirk] that were that were interpreted as celebratory, insensitive or blaming the conservative activist’s polarizing viewpoints for his targeted killing,” writes The Times' news and culture critic Lorraine Ali.
“ABC announced Wednesday that #JimmyKimmelLive was being indefinitely taken off the air following backlash over the host’s remarks about the White House’s reaction to Kirk’s death,” she continues. “As written by my colleague Stephen Battaglio, Kimmel said MAGA supporters ‘are desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.’”
“The prospect of retribution from a thin-skinned leader leaves no mystery as to why major media outlets such as the Post, ‘60 Minutes’ and MSNBC appear to be reshaping their newsrooms to be less critical of the current administration. The same now goes for break rooms, shop floors and office cubicles across all sectors of American working life. It’s not the Big Brother scenario envisioned in George Orwell’s cautionary tale about a totalitarian state, ‘1984,’ but it’s a start,” she writes.
