Katie Hopkins has landed a prime-time panel show on TLC.
There will be seven hour-long episodes of If Katie Hopkins Ruled The World, which will see the former Apprentice candidate go head-to-head with celebrities, comedians, experts and a studio audience.

In her sharp art-world ethnography, 33 Artists in 3 Acts, published last month, Sarah Thornton, who previously wrote Seven Days in the Art World, continues her behind-the-scenes tour with a series of encounters and interviews with artists. Each conversation orbits a central, purposely naïve question: “What is an artist?” She also took a bunch of pictures along the way, which she captioned for us.In Wangechi Mutu’s mother tongue, Kikuyu, there is no word for artist. The closest term is something like “magician,” or, as the Kenyan-born, Brooklyn-based artist explains, “a person who uses objects and imbues them with meaning and power.” Ai Weiwei and I discuss the reaction to his Hirshhorn show over Skype. Ai experiences “no conscious difference” between being an artist and an activist. When confronted with the distinction between “great art” and “great use of the role of the artist,” Ai rolls his eyes. “Art always has uses,...

Each month, Boris Kachka will offer nonfiction and fiction book recommendations, and you should read as many of them as possible.33 Artists in 3 Acts, by Sarah Thornton (Ww Norton, Nov. 3) The author of the pop ethnography Seven Days in the Art World takes a more pointillist approach here, profiling nearly three-dozen makers ranging from Jeff Koons (in a harsh light) to Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, and, yes, briefly, the Dunham family, but also many others more obscure. Her interviews, interwoven to show conjunctions and contrasts, cohere into a strong three-part whole — first politics, then kinship, and finally, a readable interrogation of what's so often overlooked: craft. Let Me Be Frank With You, by Richard Ford (Ecco, Nov. 4) Looking past the throwaway title, there's nearly as much savor in this four-novella postscript to Ford's Frank Bascombe novels as in the trilogy itself. Now a boomer retiree, Bascombe...

New mother Tina Malone is to front a one-off TLC documentary about her pregnancy.
Pregnant at 50, announced following the birth of her daughter Flame on Sunday (December 15), will be an hour-long programme in which the actress discovers the challenges of becoming a mother at the age of 50.
The documentary follows Malone through her pregnancy and childbirth, and will delve into the physical, emotional and social issues that women face when using the IVF process at a mature age.
The Shameless star and 31-year-old husband Paul Chase welcomed Flame two weeks before her New Year's Eve due date.
She announced that she was pregnant with twins in June, but Flame's unborn sibling sadly died the following month.
Malone first gave birth when she was 17 years old - 33 years ago.
Malone said of giving birth at 50: "Losing 11 stone and going from a size 28 to 8 was incredible, as was being an award-nominated...

You may have heard of the UK lawsuit where a judge just awarded £65,000 to a writer wronged by a review. Long story short, Sarah Thornton’s book, Seven Days in the Art World, was reviewed in the Daily Torygraph by Lynn Barber, one of the people she interviewed for it. In her takedown of the book, Barber explicitly said she couldn’t trust Thornton’s claims regarding her rigorous research. Why not? She’s one of the interview subjects named, she said, and she never gave an interview:
“Thornton claims her book is based on hour-long interviews with more than 250 people. I would have taken this on trust, except that my eye flicked down the list of her 250 interviewees and practically fell out of its socket when it hit the name Lynn Barber. I gave her an interview? Surely I would have noticed?”
Unfortunately for Barber, Thornton...

“There is no pleasure. There is no pain. There is only skin.” - Pinhead, Hellraiser III
“Women tend to be more tolerant about visceral things because they have more direct personal experience with them. They cope with periods once a month, they go through childbirth and they are usually the ones who look after the bleeding and battered limbs when the kids take a tumble. They can put blood and gore in context and generally cope better than men.” - Bela Lugosi
Most scholarship on the horror film has assumed that males are the primary spectators of horror; however, there have been developments, both in scholarship as well as in mainstream media, to contradict this point. In 2009, journalist Michelle Orange pointed out, in an article written for the New York Times, “Recent box office receipts show that women have an even bigger appetite for these [horror] films than men.
