Celebrity follows the actors, musicians and internet-famous names sitting at the center of the week's noise. Stories are built as timelines: the post, the response, the walk-back, the consequence. Statements appear at length rather than trimmed. Written for readers who want the sequence in order, not the pile-on around it.
