Drake and 21 Savage get played by some seductive villains — I guess they’re technically pirates? — in the rap duo’s new music video. On Friday, Drake and 21 Savage released the film-like visual for “Spin Bout U,” a standout from their joint 2022 album, Her Loss.

The Dave Meyers-directed video follows the rappers chilling on a private yacht before the two notice a girl drowning in the ocean. After bringing her onboard, the woman seduces Drake (and blows some sleeping drugs in his face) as her fellow pirates get...

Chloë Sevigny isn’t a kid in the spotlight anymore, but the scars of growing up onscreen still endure.

The “Kids” breakout icon reflected on being told as a teenager by famed fashion photographer Richard Avedon that she should hide the “left side” of her face and angle it away from the camera. “Can you imagine saying that to a 19-year-old?” Sevigny remembered during an Allure cover story.

The “Bones and All” actress also detailed that British Vogue photographer David Bailey also advised her to only share her right side. The feedback from both artists left lasting effects on Sevigny.

“Even right now, I would have preferred to sit in that seat because then you would have been looking at my left side,” she said. “It informs so many parts of my life, like, when I go to dinner, when I’m rehearsing and blocking a scene, I always favor this side.

South Park viewers have spotted a brief reference to the alleged rivalry between Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Catherine, Princess of Wales, in a recent episode.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were depicted in the comedy animated series, in an episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour”.

Though not mentioned by name, the couple is referenced through the cartoon characters – a British prince with red hair, and his American former actor wife.

Since its release last week, the South Park episode has been widely discussed for mocking the pair. Harry and Meghan have denied reports that they were seeking legal action.

One detail that’s been largely missed until now is a nod to claims of a years-long rivalry between Meghan and Kate.

In the programme, there is a segment that shows the Prince’s wife in a series of magazine covers resembling real-life ones that have featured Meghan.

It’s easy to wonder how much Carrie Bradshaw made as a columnist on Sex and the City after taking one look at her Upper East Side apartment and closet full of designer goods. Knowing how expensive it can be to live in the Big Apple, one of the most unrealistic parts of the successful series was how Carrie was able to afford her fabulous lifestyle as a columnist and freelancer.

Carrie's timeline on Sex and the City started with her writing a weekly column in the fictional The New York Star called "Sex and the City" where she discussed her life and encounters as a young woman living in New York. Although Carrie’s work was popular — leading her to freelance for Vogue — it’s hard to believe she could afford so much Louis Vuitton and Prada on top of paying rent as a freelancer.

Rihanna doesn’t have time for social media trolls.

The pregnant singer shared some snaps from her stunning family British Vogue photo shoot on Wednesday, writing alongside one post: “my son so fine! Idc idc idc!”

“How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue thank you so much @edward_enninful and @inezandvinoodh for celebrating us as a family!”

However, some social media users apparently had an issue with Rihanna calling her baby son “fine.”

90 Day Fiancé cast members are known for their cool makeovers, and they have recently wowed with their Valentine's Day outfits on social media. The hit TLC franchise has always been a source of entertainment, not just for its love stories, but also for its fashion moments. While some cast members have surprised with their style prowess, others have had massive fashion fails over the years.

In 2022, many 90 Day Fiancé stars had plenty of cringe-worthy fashion moments on and off the screen. From Ben Rathbun's Peruvian outfit on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days to Yve Arellano's see-through dress in season 9, some cast members missed the mark with their fashion choices. Tim Malcolm's pink ripped-up pants on the 90 Day: The Single Life Tell-All also caused a stir on social media. While some defended his right to express himself, others couldn't help but make fun of the pants.

Rihanna’s marshmallow dancers at the Super Bowl halftime show found out about her pregnancy in the same way that everyone else did – and some didn’t catch on until they watched the performance back on YouTube.

The singer hired 280 dancers for her career-spanning performance, most of which were not people she had worked with in the past in any professional capacity. For some, like Luhnyae Campbell, it was their first paid dancing gig. During the set, one dancer on the highrises could be seen slipping in some TikTok choreography instead of what was rehearsed.

Rihanna had no idea she was expecting her second baby as she posed for her stunning British Vogue photo shoot.

The singer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an array of photos from the feature, but admitted: “How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue ”

She added, “Thank you so much @edward_enninful and @inezandvinoodh for celebrating us as a family!” as well as calling her son “fine.”

Rihanna spoke about motherhood in the British Vogue chat, with her slamming paparazzi for taking snaps of her son without her consent as they shot the photos for the magazine back in December.

The “Umbrella” hitmaker, who ended up showing the world her son for the first time in an adorable TikTok clip, shared, “It’s the thing you never want to happen,...

Fresh off a Super Bowl Lvii halftime performance that commanded nearly 120 million live television viewers, Rihanna is on the cover of British Vogue‘s March issue with her partner Aap Rocky as they publicly debut their 9-month-old son.

In an interview with Giles Hattersley, the nine-time Grammy Award winner — and Golden Globe and Oscar nominee in the best original song category for “Lift Me Up,” the lead single from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack — spoke at length for the first time about motherhood, how her political stance toward the NFL has shifted, and the fears behind her absence from music as fans await the release of what will be her ninth studio album, following 2016’s Anti.

The 34-year-old Barbadian musician and entrepreneur made headlines Sunday for her halftime performance (where she wore a monochromatic red Loewe and Alaïa look floating above State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona) and the...

Rihanna is opening up about her sweet relationship with Aap Rocky, revealing that she feels that the pair's son has strengthened their bond. "We're best friends with a baby," she told British Vogue in a Feb. 15 cover story. "We have to be on the same page, but we've always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn't say it's done anything but made us closer."

The star - who gave birth to her baby boy on May 13, 2022, and recently announced that she's pregnant again during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show - has been linked to Rocky for years, with dating rumors about the pair stretching back to 2013. Their romance was first confirmed in 2020, and Rocky called Rihanna the "love of my life" in a 2021 GQ interview.

On Jan. 31, 2022, news broke that the pair were expecting their first child together.

Rihanna is opening up about the challenges of raising her son in the public eye. In a Feb. 15 cover story with British Vogue, she discussed her fears about pictures being taken of her son without her consent. "It's the thing you never want to happen," she said, emphasizing that she wants to dictate when and how she shares her child with the world. "We get to decide as parents when and how we do that. End of story."

For Rihanna, paparazzi are something she's accepted as part and parcel of the business - but she doesn't feel the same way about her son, who, of course, didn't choose to be born famous. "Throw me to the wolves. Do what you want with me. But he doesn't have a say in any of this," the "Anti" singer said. "We've been protecting him thus far and you don't have any consent to...

Rihanna’s fans are reacting to the singer’s “introduction” of her “perfect” baby with A$AP Rocky.

The singer and rapper have taken part in a photoshoot with their son, who was born in May 2022.

A new interview with the singer has accompanied the photos, and its sees Rihanna talk candidly about her frustations with the media, motherhood, as well as her plans to release new music.

Its release comes days after the singer performed the Super Bowl halftime show.

In the British Vogue interview, it’s noted that that Rihanna knows that “the interest” in her baby is “sky high”, and “hopes this piece is a way to introduce him on the family’s terms”.

The singer has not yet revealed her son’s name.

After the piece was published online, Rihanna shared an Instagram photo of her son, writing: “My perfect baby!!!”

DJ Khaled responded: “Beautiful! Biggest blessing!

Rihanna has been putting “toxic” pressure on herself when it comes to her upcoming ninth studio album.

The hitmaker last released Anti in 2016, and she’s been asked about her next release basically ever since.

However, with her giving birth to her son in May, fans are still waiting.

She told British Vogue in a new interview: “When you come off of an album like Anti… In hindsight, it really is my most brilliant album. I say that because in the moment, I didn’t realize it. But it always felt like the most cohesive album I’ve ever made.

“When you break it down and you realise this album goes from ‘Work’ to ‘Kiss It Better’ to ‘Needed Me’ to ‘Love on the Brain’ to ‘Sex with Me’ to ‘Desperado’,” she continued, adding: “And somehow it all fits and not for a second did you glitch?”

RiRi said of the album’s variety: “Right?...

There’s a story behind that first TikTok video of Rihanna’s adorable baby son.

In December, RiRi posted a clip of the then 7-month-old grabbing her phone, which has since been watched millions of times.

However, before that, paparazzi managed to get photos of the little one during her British Vogue cover shoot without her consent, and she wasn’t happy about it.

Rihanna, who is expecting her second child with Aap Rocky, told the mag in a new interview, “It’s the thing you never want to happen,” […] “We get to decide as parents when and how we do that. End of story.”

David Cronenberg‘s 1988 film Dead Ringers (get it Here) was seared into Oscar winner (for her role in The Constant Gardener) Rachel Weisz’s memory from the moment she first saw the film, as she found it to be “deeply psychological, deeply twisted, perverse and thrilling”. So when Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures asked Weisz if there were any projects she was keen to make, Weisz brought up the idea of a TV series version of Dead Ringers where she would play the twin lead characters. The project started moving forward in that moment, and Alice Birch – whose credits include Lady Macbeth, The Wonder, Normal People, and Conversations With Friends – was soon brought on board to write (along with an all-women writing team), serve as showrunner, and executive produce the series with Weisz and Ellison. We’ll get to see the result of their collaboration when this six-episode version of...
