“I’M INTERESTED IN the things left behind,” explains found-object and performance-based installation artist Viktor Givens, whose lovingly crafted installation Coffee/Kool Aid and the Tabernacle of (Re)Memory is on view through April 23 at Community Artists’ Collective.
Rita Moreno, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Sally Field in '80 for Brady' (Paramount Pictures)
THE FIRST TRAILER for 80 for Brady, the funny new flick inspired by a true story and executive-produced by Tom Brady, dropped today.
In it, four women roadtrip to Houston for the 2017 Super Bowl in hopes of meeting Brady. Played by Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field, the gals try to scalp tickets at a tailgate at NRG Stadium where — amongst many hijinks — they end up performing a dance number with Billy Porter outside the stadium’s gate.
Posted this morning by Brady, the trailer features sweeping views of the Astrodome, NRG Park and the George R. Brown Convention Center. “This is an incredible story, led by four amazing women, and we’re so excited to share our trailer,” he said. “I’m just getting started! February 3, 2023! LFG!”
In an interview with People magazine, Fonda said Brady was “so sweet and generous and, could it be possible, humble?” Tomlin added, “He has an incredibly sweet nature. He's sensitive and tries to make people comfortable."
Brady returned the love in a Variety interview. “[Tomlin] is really funny, and when you see it, they make it look so natural,” he said. “You're on set and you're going through your scene and she says something, but it's not really on script. I'm like, 'Is this just her normal?' And then the scene cuts, and I don't know if she's still in character or not.”
80 for Brady is scheduled to be released on Feb. 3, ahead of Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz.

ON THE HEELS of her eponymous’ brands 20th anniversary, Kendra Scott has teamed up with Barbie for a limited-edition capsule collection inspired by “fashion, friendship and being a force for good,” and benefiting Girls, Inc.
“Barbie x Kendra Scott draws from a desire to help women feel confident, powerful and capable of anything that we set our minds to,” said Scott in a statement. “Growing up, Barbie taught me that beauty comes in many forms, and most importantly, to pursue my passions.”
Arriving just in time for the holiday season, the collaboration includes two necklaces, two bracelets and two pairs of earrings. (They’re all pink, of course.)
The necklaces tout a double-sided design, while statement earrings and huggies provide fun pops of color to any outfits.
For every purchase of the collection’s Everlyne friendship bracelet, Kendra Scott is donating 20 percent of the proceeds to the Barbie Dream Gap Project, which will directly support the efforts of Girls Inc. to ensure that a new generation of girl leaders have the resources they need to reach their full potential, including curriculum, skills development and leadership opportunities.
“I’m so proud to partner together on a collection that celebrates both fashion and philanthropy so we can continue to inspire the next generation of girls to dream even bigger,” Scott says.
The limited-edition Barbie x Kendra Scott collection will be available at Kendra Scott retail stores and online. Prices range from $65-$198.
