“When Jane Fonda calls, you show up,” explained John Legend, tickling the ivories in front of a large crowd of glittery art lovers, environmentalists and celebs. “Wouldn’t you?”
The large artist, art collector and celeb crowd mingling in the white chandelier-strewn tent behind Gagosian Gallery made it pretty clear they not only would, but did. Fonda, along with gallerist Larry Gagosian and Christie’s, organized the evening, titled “Art For a Safe and Healthy California” — an art sale to support California’s grassroots fight against Big Oil, in an attempt to protect neighborhoods from toxic oil drilling. With so many years of activism and fundraising dedicated to feminist, pacifist and environmental issues — organizing, fundraising, holding benefits, walkouts, protests, not to mention getting arrested four times — Jane Fonda is now going up against Big Oil.
Nothing the lifelong rights fighter can’t handle, of course.
“What’s more important than the destruction of our planet?...

Take a look at “Euphoria” actress Hunter Schafer posing for Prada‘s 2022 ‘Symbole’ handbag campaign, in new images from Catherine Opie, Thomas Ruff and Carrie Mae Weems:
"I do think blurred lines between an actor and a character make a deeper character", said Schafer about her role as 'Jules' in "Euphoria".

"I want to have longevity as an artist, whatever form that comes in. The one thing I have faith in is the evolution of how I make art. It's something that is growing in me all the time. But there's no plan. I'm not attached to one career. I want to do everything. I'm really...
