MOTHER OF ALL DRAMAS

Move over Big Little Lies Season 2, there is more of Reese

Witherspoon to savour. The actor is now starring in the web

adaptation of Celeste Ng’s book, Little Fires Everywhere. The

book about motherhood had featured on every bestseller list

last year. Now, it has been turned into an eight-part web series,

starring Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. It is touted as the

show to watch out for this season. The only question is, when

will it come to India?

SAND LANGUAGE

When Michelle Obama’s Becoming

became the highest selling memoir

of all time, the Penguin India team

along with sand artist Sudarsan

Pattanaik paid tribute to it with a

beautiful sand sculpture. It was built

with four tons of sand at the Puri

beach in Odisha. “Michelle Obama’s

story is as nuanced and beautiful as

the granules of sand,” said Patta-

naik. “And much like the ocean, it is

everlasting.”

BABY GLOW

Tinseltown has woken up to the fact that preg-

nancy is something to be celebrated. A baby

bump is the new fashion statement. Joining the

brigade of stylish mamas-to-be is Amy Jackson,

who shared a picture of her sonography on In-

stagram. She announced her pregnancy in May

with fiance George Panayiotou, and ever since

then has been a picture of radiant happiness.

Pregnancy certainly suits this pretty lady.
