If you haven't heard, *The Idol*, the new HBO show from The Weeknd and Sam "Euphoria" Levinson, starring Lily-Rose Depp, [has already been replete with controversy](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hbo-denies-the-idol-set-problems-1235339084/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and, frankly, also looks terrible to me. The first two episodes screened at Cannes yesterday, where THR reports it was "met with polite applause from the festival audience, who gave it a standard-measure 5-minute standing ovation." [There were reports that Lily-Rose Depp didn't want to do any press](https://twitter.com/LouisPisano/status/1659778811213348865?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1659780590353399808%7Ctwgr%5E814f5a4fea38c17ce00f0295b54208b7aa0c83f5%7Ctwcon%5Es2%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pedestrian.tv%2Fentertainment%2Flily-rose-depp-the-idol-interviews%2F&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) because she didn't want to talk about her father, or accusations of nepo-babery, but I'm not sure how that's going to shake out the rest of the week, as I believe her photocall would be...well, possibly in the books by the time you read this. I do not know if I think being in this project is going to work out great in general, but hope springs eternal. Also springing eternal? Julia Fox deciding to keep us interested.
