Is Fyre Festival 2 on or off? No one knows, though we'd put money on "off." NBC says the website was updated earlier today to say the festival was postponed. Shortly after that, the site was changed to say tickets are "currently not available." Billy McFarland, who went to prison for wire fraud and other crimes related to the first Fyre Festival in 2017, had claimed he was working with officials in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico to get permits, but the officials said there was no record of the event. No performers had been announced for Fyre Festival 2, which was scheduled for May 30-June 2, with ticket packages ranging from $1,400 to $1.1 million.

The Breakthrough Prize rewards achievements in science and mathematics, and is a red-carpet event, attended by Hollywood's finest, plus tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Marc Andreesen and more. Canadian actor Seth Rogen called out the tech titans for their support of the Trump administration when he presented an award alongside Ed Norton at the "Oscars of Science" — and his remarks were cut from the YouTube video that went live a week later. @THR shares what he said about science, Silicon Valley and RFK Jr., and how the "full video" was edited.

After standout performances in "The White Lotus," "Fallout" and "The Righteous Gemstones," Walton Goggins is an overnight success (never mind that he's been acting for 30 years). GQ talked to him about his graduation from cult-actor "hey it's that guy" status to leading man, his difficult start in life, and a strange full-circle moment he experienced in Thailand. “When I say my life is improbable, there is no bookie in f**king Vegas that would take this bet—[that I] would ever, ever, ever have the life that I’ve led,” Goggins says. “And I don’t take it for granted, man. If my life ends tomorrow, don’t weep for me, man, because God, whoever she is, has always been looking out for me."

I would be mad that people are still casting #ArmieHammer in shit but it turns out to be a Uwe Boll movie, and having to reduce yourself to working with literally a consensus choice for one of the worst filmmakers of his generation who also happens to be completely insufferable as a person too honestly sounds like a worse punishment than simply living off the family money not working.
