Jack Rear @jacksayspurple:...if there are any freelancer writers who would like to pitch Best & Worsts, they can do that via me as well jack.rear@telegraph.co.uk - #freelancerequest [via email: for Best & Worst, I'm looking for celebrity interviews with household names. The format is usually fairly consistent, we ask them about their highlights and lowlights in the context of 'Best' and 'Worst' questions, for example, 'Best childhood memory?', 'Worst interaction with a fan?' etc. Usually 6-7 of each, followed by an 'ABSOLUTE WORST' which is their most hated, room 101 style, loathed person, place or thing - anything from peas to climate change have been mentioned in the past. It's a generally light-hearted slot and generally the celebs like it because all the questions can be quite soft-ball. In terms of pitching, if you have ideas, let me know them first and I will assess. The celebrities can be presenters, actors, authors, athletes, musicians, public figures - anyone who is a household name. The only major stipulation is that we have to make sure they'll be familiar to Telegraph readers [50-60 year olds]. We also have to avoid people we've already covered as the editor is strict that there be no repeats. You can find the full archive here: https://www.telegraph.

Kylian Mbappé thinks more about winning the Champions League than lifting the Ballon d'Or, just as he devotes his energy to finding ways to continue his progress rather than listening to the criticism and expectations of the media and public. “We are in an era of overconsumption, with a lot of matches, where people expect a lot from the players,” he explains before specifying that his personal demands far exceed those of the observers. “I have shown that pressure does not affect me negatively and I would even say that I need it to perform. This is what allows us to maintain the degree of excellence required to play at the highest levels.”

Issa Rae knows how to make people laugh – and the bankable sense of humor that she’s built her career on might just be genetic. “My family is very, very funny. Every single one of my siblings [Rae has four] is hilarious,” she says, citing humor as her preferred way of connecting with people. “There’s something so romantic about sharing a sense of humor. That’s my love language.” Still, despite an easy, warm demeanor – she is quick to flash that trademark grin – one swiftly gets an idea of the formidable Hollywood entity that the writer, producer and actor has become

As his still-chiseled ten-pack attests, Ulisses has always been maniacally devoted to his core training. It’s a habit he built in his 20s, when he started waking up every single day to a series of bodyweight exercises (classic situps and planks, bicycle crunches and reverse crunches). He’d aim to do 100 of each before he ate his first meal. (He believes training on an empty stomach helped him “feel” his rectus abdominis, the muscle most responsible for visible abs, working.) He’d often train his abs again later that day, after he’d pushed weight with the bodybuilders, this time using weights to do more-targeted movements.

This is all new for the 34-year-old, at least as a solo artist. Over the past 15 years, she’s had a front-row seat for the success of those around her as one of the music industry’s top songwriters, with credits on tracks for Blackpink, Fifth Harmony and many others. And in an industry overwhelmingly dominated by male studio technicians, Monét produces and engineers, too — and is among this year’s nominees in the best engineered album (non-classical) category, a rarity for an artist, let alone a female one. She’s attended the Grammys once before — in 2020, for the three nominations she earned as a songwriter for Ariana Grande’s album “Thank U, Next” and Chloe x Halle’s single “Do It” — and after runaway success with the former, her stock rose as a key collaborator to the pop star.

As they play the leads of the film –American Fiction, we see Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae and Erika Alexander as we’ve likely never seen them before. For the three women—each one with a prolific comedic career—it’s easy, almost expected, to think you’ve seen the breadth of their work on screen; but think again.

Here’s what Usher is dealing with: the physical demands of a so-sold-out-they-extended-it-twice Las Vegas residency (Usher: My Way, The Vegas Residency) for which, three nights a week, until December 2nd, he would be almost constantly singing, dancing, and occasionally roller-skating, all through an R&B fantasia, replete with exotic dancers, a peach-shaped disco ball, and several costume changes and elaborate set pieces. (Not unrelatedly, he has a bunion that requires surgery.) He’s also recording a new album, Coming Home, his ninth, all while planning the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, the biggest single televised moment of his career. He’ll be maintaining this momentum past the show, he tells me, and seeing his therapist and doing his daily meditation practice and working out and eating right and being a good partner and raising four children, two of them under the age of four here at this sleek five-bedroom home his family found for the Vegas run.

In 2019, her piece, “The Battle At John F. Kennedy International Airport, 1776,” was the seventh most-read article on McSweeney’s.

To a degree rare even for a musician, SZA’s art is inseparable from the rest of her. Variety’s Hitmaker of the Year doesn’t play an instrument — those gloriously supple melodies and intense lyrics just burst out of her and into a microphone, usually the one on her phone. But they’re unique and sophisticated songs, with an effortless, instantly identifiable melodicism: When she jumps on someone else’s track (whether it’s Kendrick Lamar’s or Lorde’s or Doja Cat’s or Lizzo’s or Justin Timberlake’s or Drake’s or James Blake’s), or even when she’s written one for another artist (Rihanna’s “Consideration,” for instance), you know immediately that it’s her. Her voice preens and pouts and pirouettes like a gymnast, and her music is equally flexible and versatile: At her Madison Square Garden concert last March, she brought out two drastically different artists to duet with her — Cardi B and Phoebe Bridgers — within 10 minutes of each other.

At the age of 15, Erica Wright wrote a letter to the universe. “I will do it with the help of God. Nothing can stop me but myself." That's the quote in the US magazine "The Cut", which perhaps explains why we have to look beyond Erykah Badu's music to understand who Badu is. Queen of neo-soul, spiritual wanderer or cultural rebel. In the 1990s, the music scene was small and predominantly masculine. Then musicians like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott came along and set new tones. Mixed soul with hard beats and rap rhymes. And paved the way for future generations of artists.

For their year in photography, the pair take us across the world.
Not even halfway through his thirties, Kaluuya, who turns 35 in February, has already garnered the kinds of accolades that tell a poster-boy success story, making him the obvious choice to win The Film Award, in collaboration with Rémy Martin. After playing Posh Kenneth in Skins — he also co-wrote a number of episodes — he won big-screen roles that have carved a new cinematic language by meticulously exploring the historical and contemporary Black experience.

Since making her debut as the world’s first model with the skin condition vitiligo 10 years ago, she has made a habit of exceeding expectations. In fact, she didn’t initially plan on being a model at all. But it’s not by happenstance—when she struts into Bistrot Leo in New York’s SoHo neighbourhood on a balmy October afternoon, it’s impossible to see her as anything else. Arriving sans entourage and without a shred of makeup, she wields an unspoken power that commands attention. Her arrival brings forth an inaudible whoosh as diners’ heads swivel to clock her presence as she settles onto a banquette.
Writer: Sumiko Wilson
Sumiko is a journalist and copywriter specializing in fashion, beauty, music, and pop culture. Currently a copywriter at CHANEL.

Yoruba names are incantations that the holder often comes to embody. Little Simz, real name Simbiatu Ajikawo, is growing into hers. “It means brave woman,” she tells me, settling into a plush sofa in a Shoreditch hotel suite, on a downcast October day. For the last decade, the rapper-cum-actor has been battling what she describes as a series of “setbacks and rejection”. Now, she’s rounding out her 20s as one of the UK’s most revered musical artists – the proud holder of an Ivor Novello, a Brit and winner of the Mercury Prize (she might, in the words of Kendrick Lamar, “be the illest doing it right now”). Not to mention her acting work, notably as Shelley in the acclaimed series Top Boy, or as a photographer (her coffee-table book – the *book – was published this year), or even sharing her comfort food recipes on Mob. Does she find that she becomes a master of any skill easily? “Is it bad if I say yeah?”

To say someone — especially a celebrity, especially a celebrity who’s been famous since before she could legally drink — has “never been busier” may sound trite. But how else should one describe Alicia Keys? At 42, Keys is now not only a 15-time Grammy winner, actress, The Voice alum, founder of beauty brand Keys Soulcare, mom of two boys (Egypt, 13, and Genesis, 8), and wife to musical producer and rapper Swizz Beatz — she’s now also a theater producer.

Kravitz has long favored first-person storytelling in song, but on two of his recent releases he mainly looked outward. Black and White America (2011), brimming with Obama-era optimism, imagines life in the U. S. A. beyond the racial divide; Raise Vibration (2018) bears witness to the comedown, urging positivity as the necessary response to the divisive Trump tenure. With this new set, Kravitz’s attention has returned inward. His testimony to the power of self-love and personal evolution is searingly specific and at times downright anthemic. It also—and this is important—flat out cooks musically.

It’s mid-November in Los Angeles. A cold front has lent a slight chill to the air, giving just enough permission for the sold-out stadium filled with Mariah Carey’s fans, known as Lambs, to don their gay apparel. Which is to say, thousands of Lambs are bundled up in various combinations of Christmas beanies, glowing Christmas-tree-bulb necklaces, Christmas sweaters and Mariah Carey-branded sweaters and sweatshirts. (Still Christmas-themed.)

Lopez began her multipronged career, of course, as a dancer, and acting, for her, always starts “in the body,” she says. “Blocking a scene is choreography; even looping is choreography.” When she’s preparing for a role, she thinks about movement before anything else: “the walk of the character, the way they use their hands, the way they choose to move from one place to the other.” That could mean mastering the thigh-bruising art of pole dancing, as she did for her role in Hustlers, or sleeping in Selena Quintanilla’s actual bed while studying to play her in Selena. Whatever it is, she commits—hard. That’s the JLo promise: You’re going to see her sweat, and you’re going to be riveted.
Writer: Véronique Hyland
Véronique Hyland is ELLE’s Fashion Features Director and the author of the book Dress Code, which was selected as one of The New Yorker's Best Books of the Year.
