Secrets and lies: This ABC thriller will make you look at your mother's group differently
LITTLE DISASTERS ★★★★ The darker side of new motherhood, once barely whispered about, has proven a fruitful starting point for any number of psychological parenting thrillers in which mothers fall under suspicion – think Jenna Coleman in The Cry, or Jessica De Gouw in The Secrets She Keeps. This six-part drama, adapted from Sarah Vaughan's novel by Ruth Fowler (who created 2022 corporate thriller Rules of the Game), stars Diane Kruger as Jess, an American living in the comfortable bosom of the middle-class UK, with a young son and a newborn daughter. The series takes the distressing premise of implied post-natal depression and spins outwards to give a gripping account of judgment, betrayal, mistrust and a burning ethical dilemma. The model of neo-maternal perfection in her circle of female friends, whose children were raised alongside one another, from cloth nappies to organic rusks, Jess would seem the last mother to screw up even the tiniest dietary detail. But when she presents her baby, Betsey, to the emergency ward with an unexplained bruise, questions must be asked. And who should be the attending doctor? One of Jess' closest friends, Liz (Jo Joyner). It's here that the narrative goes nuclear in a manner not unlike The Slap – the expected chain of events shattering their friendship and dividing the community, with fingers swiftly pointed in both directions, mothers of all descriptions being so easy to blame. An interview device more commonly used in mockumentaries and reality programs breaks the fourth wall and draws us back to the victim – baby Betsey – and encourages reflection on the conflicting moralities of the situation. While it can initially be jarring to be faced with Liz in scrubs, explaining her side of the story to camera, these interludes serve to ground the swirling emotional fallout. Loading As the unthinkable is investigated, it turns out that – shock! – no mother is perfect. Or father, for that matter. The ensemble (which includes Patrick Balardi, Shelley Conn, Ben Bailey Smith, JJ Field, Stephen Campbell Moore and Emily Taaffe) explores the herd response to such a bombshell dropped in the middle of a seemingly innocuous and untouchable group. How an atmosphere of fear and accusation permeates this polite society is intriguing to watch.

Selma Blair Does the Splits on the Red Carpet
Selma Blair seems to know how to have fun on a red carpet. That was on full display at the Daily Front Row's Ninth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards when she walked the carpet in a playful metallic ruffle dress and hugged designer Betsey Johnson, who received the lifetime achievement award, and the two busted out into splits onto the red carpet. Blair presented Johnson with the award at the ceremony last night and gave the designer a touching tribute. "Betsey was my icon as a child. Of course, we love Chanel or Cacharel, but Betsey for young people was our couture that it could be attainable. And we could go to the shop, and it was all meant for people like us or people that were a little out of the box," the actress said on stage. "But also, Betsey was always a good time. I remember doing cartwheels down the runway, and she was my spirit animal. I was always doing cartwheels, too, and I was synonymous with Betsey Johnson growing up. Tell my friends, and they knew my mom would take me if I got good grades to New York to go shopping at Betsey Johnson." On the red carpet, she told People that she's "truly in remission" from multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2018, and is doing "really well." "I am doing amazingly well. I've been feeling great for about a year," the actress told the magazine. "But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely ... I always try and feel my best, but now that I actually have stamina and energy and getting out and going out isn't so scary." Read the original article on InStyle
