It’s the 1980s and Chippendales are still a thing. No, not the two chipmunks — the gloriously luxurious male strip clubs. Hulu's latest trailer for its miniseries Welcome to Chippendales teases a dramatic retelling of Somen "Steve" Banerjee’s notorious empire and the murder that spiraled its downfall. 

Created by Emmy nominee Robert Siegel (Pam and Tommy), Welcome to Chippendales follows Banerjee (Kumail Nanjiani) on his journey from an Indian immigrant to a Gen X Gatsby, with the world's largest male-stripping empire under his belt. But, as any true crime connoisseur would know, Banerjee's success was short lived with secrecy, scandal, and murder eclipsing the neon-lit world of his chippendales into oblivion. 

The cast lineup also includes Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers), and Broadway star Annaleigh Ashford, with Matt Shakman (WandaVision) directing all episodes. 

Welcome to Chippendales premieres Nov. 22 on Hulu, with new episodes every Tuesday.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
