Aubrey Plaza was on hand to promote her latest movie, Megalopolis—the Francis Ford Coppola epic science fiction drama decades in the making—at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

“In life, we hide the parts of ourselves we don’t want the world to see,” Lil Nas X proclaims in the video for his chart-topping single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” For the openly gay rapper/singer, Montero — inspired by his birth name — is a place where one is free to be who they are. The unabashedly queer video caused a minor media frenzy when it was released earlier this year, but the controversy revolved less around Lil Nas X’s sexual orientation — he’d already come out...

The British pop star George Michael, who helped innovate the music video in the 1980s, died on Christmas Day 2016 at age 53. “Last Christmas” (1984) A clean-shaven Michael appears in the video for the 1984 holiday hit — which has been covered many times since and provides a spooky memorial to the songwriter-singer who died on Christmas Day 2016. “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” (1984) Bob Geldof co-wrote and organized an all-star lineup of ’80s stars — including Michael — to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. “I Want Your Sex” (1987) Michael co-starred with then-girlfriend Kathy Jeung for this video — in...
