Here’s All the Culture News You Missed This Week

Here’s everything that made headlines this week.

Amy Schumer announced a cooking show
Taking a leaf from Antoni Porowski’s playbook, comedian Amy Schumer is headlining a quarantine cooking show of her own. Schumer married a chef, Chris Fischer, in 2017 and will document her attempts to learn how to cook during quarantine for the upcoming show, set to launch this spring. The eight-episode show is aptly titled Amy Schumer Learns to Cook and will consist of 30-minute self-filmed episodes, to be aired on the Food Network. According to Variety, “Fischer will do most of the cooking using farm fresh ingredients, while Schumer will mix cocktails.”

Antoni announced a new Netflix show
Speaking of Antoni, the Queer Eye star has a new project in the works, based on his own life. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Porowski is teaming up with black-ish creator Kenya Barris on a Netflix show titled Girls & Boys, “loosely based on his real-life dating experience as a sexually fluid man.” The two developed the story together, with the script to be written by Pen15 writers Andrew Rhymer and Jeff Chan.

Lana Del Rey shared a poem from her upcoming poetry audiobook
Last year, Lana Del Rey announced that she would be releasing a poetry book titled Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass but hadn’t revealed much else until earlier this week, when she uploaded a video recitation of one of her poems on Instagram. The singer doesn’t appear in the two-minute clip herself, but recites the poem from inside a parked car, with the camera looking outward at clear skies and palm trees. She also shared an image of the book’s cover art in a post that has since been deleted, but can be found on the artist Erika Lee Sears’ page.

Being Black in Toronto launched its second mentorship program
The second edition of Being Black in Toronto—an initiative of the Fabienne Colas Foundation’s Youth & Diversity Program: Being Black in Canada—is now accepting applications for its life-changing film program, in collaboration with the Toronto Black Film Festival. Open to Black emerging filmmakers between 18 and 30 years of age from the Greater Toronto Area, the program offers professional mentorship in the audiovisual production of a short film with the theme of “Being Black in Toronto.” According to the application details, “five to 10 young filmmakers will be guided through the many steps in audiovisual production (screenwriting, directing, editing, post-production, etc) and will create a documentary short (maximum 10 minutes).” Applications are being accepted until May 15 and can be found here.

Johnny Depp joined Instagram
On Thursday evening, Johnny Depp joined Instagram with an eight-minute video in which he said: “This is my first experience within the world of social media,” adding that now is “the time to open up a dialogue” and that “we cannot and must not succumb to shutting down and giving in to what feels like hellish quarantine monotony.” He also shared a cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation,” which he worked on with musician Jeff Beck, describing it as “especially fitting” given our current crisis. “The song’s about isolation, fear and the existential risk to our world, so we wanted to give the song to you,” he explained. “We truly both hope in our own little way, it helps you get through these unusual times that we’re experiencing, even if it just helps to pass the time as we endure isolation together.”

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
