- "The It List" is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. Here are our picks for the week of January 24. R&B singer K. Michelle is hosting a new Lifetime series on the perils of plastic surgery gone wrong. Michelle, who herself nearly died after receiving silicone injections, will help other patients who want to reverse their own nightmare procedures. She'll also share her own traumatic story.

K MICHELLE: One morning, I woke up, and my legs just completely gave out on me. I'm having headaches. We don't know why. It came back that my silicone injections were causing the issues.

- A new A&E docuseries is taking a deeper look at the Playboy Empire four years after founder Hugh Hefner's death. The series promises a look at Hefner's lasting influence on society while not shying away from the darker side of Playboy, including Hefner's controlling nature.

- I wouldn't trade places with anyone else in the world.

- His legacy should comprise the whole story.

- The people who are really there, they're the ones who know the real truth.

- Over on Apple TV+, "The Afterparty" offers up a comedy series set at a high school reunion gone wrong where one of the classmates has wound up dead. Tiffany Haddish stars as the detective assigned to the case, and an ensemble cast joins her to tell their versions of the events of the night.

- Everybody seems to be hiding something.

- What is going on.

- Oh!

- Oh my god!

- We're done here.

- Yeah, but you didn't even know that was fake, and you straight up just chopped off his head.

- Remember that.
