Bravo TVLine has boots on the ground at BravoCon 2025 — here are the buzziest bits from Friday’s red carpet. (Well, the carpet was actually blue, but you get the point.)

What possessed the Bravo…

Despite only running between 2004 and 2007, To Catch a Predator had an indelible impact on popular culture. Fronted by the journalist Chris Hansen, the 44-minute episodes became must-see TV, as law enforcement set up sting operations around the US to lure sex offenders into the open using actual minors as decoys. The series was also directly responsible for the suicide of a government official, who shot himself shortly after the production team arrived at his house. Soon after that, the show was cancelled, but the genie was out of the bottle.Such a fascinating and formative example of the True Crime Industrial Complex…

You may be familiar with the various memes detailing the fact that once you reach middle age, you’re automatically sorted, Harry Potter hat–style, into one of a handful of hobbies, such as sourdough bread making, gardening, or bird-watching. I can’t contradict this, since I’m a middle-aged person who got sorted into bird-watching. But I do know that enjoying birds and their various activities is fun for all ages. Birds are beautiful, interesting, and unpredictable, and it’s fascinating to keep a running life list of all the birds you’ve seen and hope to see in your lifetime.Whether someone you know is…

Ostensibly, plant lovers should be the easiest to shop for. Just get them a plant, right?Wrong. (Well, most of the time.) I review indoor hydroponic gardens for WIRED and have been a proud plant parent for almost 30 years, so I can say that even if you have a running mental catalog of all your recipient’s houseplants and know which ones they don’t yet have, you may not know what they have space for, or what kind of substrate or pot they’d like to be using.In general, the best gifts remind them of the plants they do have, or that…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Clueless: The Tragic State of Leadership in Business Today? Years ago, in my counseling practice, individuals and couples would come to me for help with their problems. It became evident in subsequent years that stress in the workplace was a contributing factor to many couples’ issues. It was then that I started to research the emotional and economic devastation of toxic workplaces. The absence of trust in leadership emerged as the focal point of employee dissatisfaction and defection. Gallup reported last year that the results of dysfunctional leadership in…

The ˁAin Samiya silver gobletThe Israel Museum, Jerusalem/Ardon Bar Hama The artwork on a 4300-year-old silver goblet unearthed in the Palestinian West Bank appears to show the universe forming out of primordial chaos – making it the oldest known visual representation of a creation myth. “I think it’s an ingenious design,” says Eberhard Zangger at the Luwian Studies Foundation, a non-profit based in Switzerland. “With very few lines, it tells a very complex story.” The ˁAin Samiya goblet stands about 8 centimetres tall. It was found 55 years ago in an ancient tomb a few miles to the north-east of…

Gluttons for emotional punishment would do well to seek out Dylan Southern’s The Thing with Feathers, an ickily-stylised screen adaptation of Max Porter’s hit 2019 novel ​‘Grief is a Thing with Feathers’. It’s telling that they’ve removed the marketing turn-off term ​“grief” from the title, but the fact is, you’d need to have a media literacy score of minus 3000 to not get what this film is selling, as a ghostly humanoid crow verbally harangues and demeans a father and his two kids in the direct wake of their wife/mother’s sudden death. And that grief is laid on with an over-sized trowel as the we have…
