NYT: RIP Tony Walton, the brilliant stage and screen designer who took the Oscar for All That Jazz and was once married to Julie Andrews.

WoW: RIP to fashion icon Elsa Klensch.

VARIETY: Lady Gaga has announced long-awaited rescheduled Chromatica Ball stadium tour dates. The initial tweet was immediately deleted in order to correct a typo — I appreciate this. I can't think of almost any major pop star whose team corrects typos!
