Frankie Muniz on quitting Hollywood ‘at the height of his career’ — and his ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ comeback




































The supreme court has started to hear oral arguments for and against the legality of most of Donald Trump’s tariffs
Here’s a look at some of the pictures from New York, as Zohran Mamdani was elected the next mayor of the city.
In a short while, we’ll hear from Donald Trump when he hosts a breakfast with Republican senators at the White House. As we noted earlier, the president had choice words about Mamdani’s victory in New York, and other Democratic wins across the country – including the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.

⚽️ Champions League updates, 5.45pm GMT kick-off
⚽️ Live scores | Chelsea’s epic trek to Qarabag | Mail John
Gurban Gurbanov was Qarabag’s manager back in September 2017, when an Antonio Conte-led Blues equalled won 6-0 in this competition. Gurbanov has been in charge since 2008. Chelsea have had 14 managers since, and that doesn’t take into account interim returns from Guus Hiddink and Frank Lampard. There was Rafa Benitez, too.
Seven changes from the weekend’s win at Tottenham for Chelsea, though still plenty of experience with Reece James, Joao Pedro and Marc Cucurella in the team. Plenty of eyes on Tyrique George, Jamie Gittens and Estevao. Andrey Santos, too.

After side-splitting viral videos led to breakout films Bottoms and Shiva Baby, the star gets frank about the darker side of ‘making it’ with I Love LA – a show so funny that choosing a best gag is impossible
Rachel Sennott hops on to our Zoom call and immediately launches into an apology. “Oh my God – I’m sorry!” she says, sounding pained. She is only a couple of minutes late, but she is keen to explain. “I have such a problem, because I’m a yapper on the phone. I had two calls before this, and I’m like, I’ve gotta stop talking!” Luckily, it’s exactly what a writer wants to hear at the start of an interview. Besides, it’s fairly unsurprising. Anyone who has watched the unapologetically queer, unapologetically crass film Bottoms – which Sennott co-wrote with Emma Seligman, and starred in alongside her friend, The Bear’s breakout star Ayo Edebiri – will already know that she has plenty to say, be it about gender, sex, or the merits of starting a high-school fight club. And by the end of her new eight-part HBO series I Love LA, it is clear that she has even more to say about the darker side of Gen Z life (at 30, she is an honorary member of the gang, a tale-end millennial with a knack for straddling both generations).
The comparisons to Lena Dunham’s Girls are inevitable and Sennott is, of course, a fan, citing the show alongside Sex and the City, Insecure and Atlanta as influences for her series, which follows the travails of an influencer, Tallulah (Odessa A’Zion) and her friend and fledgling talent manager, Maia (Sennott). Perhaps the largest spot on the moodboard, though, went to Entourage, the HBO sitcom about a rising A-list actor making his way in an often-seedy Hollywood (choice quote: “nobody’s happy in this town except for the losers”). Sennott started watching it during the pandemic, became “obsessed”, and decided to put her own twist on it “for the girls and the gays”.
