About the show

The Perlas Protocol is the nightly briefing from Nightlife Report on what you missed in Los Angeles and New York: the parties, the runways, the rooms everyone wants into, and the culture people are talking about tomorrow. Host Anthony R. Perlas covers nightlife, fashion, runway news, art and the occasional superintelligence headline in about four minutes, with one line after each story on why it matters to you. New episodes nightly at 9 p.m. Pacific.

In this episode

• The Shrine. Chappell Roan turned the Shrine Auditorium into a gilded red-velvet ballroom for two nights, with Christina Aguilera and PinkPantheress among the surprise guests and proceeds going to her Midwest Princess project. The piece that traveled: champagne Jimmy Choo pumps.
• The dead have the guest list. Día de los Muertos on Olvera Street, nine free nights through November 2, the altars at Grand Park, and marigolds on the Santa Monica Pier carousel over Halloween weekend.
• A scandal in oils. Astronomers say The Starry Night shows a real pre-dawn sky from July 1889. The Van Gogh Museum is not persuaded.
• The line versus the look. New York queues for frozen yogurt while My Chemical Romance plays five nights at the Hollywood Bowl.
• Superintelligence got smaller. A compact Nvidia model that fits on a gaming laptop, and Moonshot’s promise to open Kimi.
