Entertainment news today swung between spectacle and disruption. In Britain, a Peter Kay performance at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena was abruptly halted and the crowd evacuated over an alleged bomb hoax; the 19-year-old defendant later caused further drama in court with repeated outbursts before being removed from the hearing. In New York, Broadway took a hit after an electrical fire damaged the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, forcing the home of The Book of Mormon to close indefinitely for repairs. Elsewhere, glamour reclaimed the spotlight as anticipation built for the Met Gala, where the annual collision of fashion, celebrity and performance is again being framed as “costume art,” with stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga central to the conversation. And in a stranger awards-season aftershock, an Oscar briefly went missing after documentary co-director Pavel Talankin was forced to check it at JFK—only for the statuette to be found and returned.
