As a millennial viewer of The Hills, I was naturally intrigued when I learned Spencer Pratt was running for mayor of Los Angeles. But after his surprisingly successful debate performance earlier this month, followed by public declarations of support from some big money and big names in Hollywood, I knew we had to get an interview with him. And Maxwell Adler did just that. In a wide-ranging chat over steak tacos, Pratt talked about everything from his love of Mexican food and people to his nearly two-decade-old beef with Lauren Conrad and why he feels “energetically” that he is “for sure going to be mayor.”
Elsewhere, Dan Adler sat down with Teny Geragos, daughter of celebrity criminal-defense attorney Mark Geragos, who herself has defended Harvey Weinstein, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and one of the Alexander brothers, for an equally fascinating conversation about the post-MeToo era. Erin Vanderhoof spotlights Christopher Olah, the Anthropic cofounder who sat just a few seats away from the pope during his recent screed against AI, while Chris Murphy weighs in on Drake’s return.

Call it a comeback? While the Canadian rapper has suffered a series of all-too-public humiliations at the hands of Lamar, one entry in Drake’s new trilogy shows that he can still be the life of the party.
