T risha Paytas is telling me about the last time she got yelled at on the internet. It was after a Halloween episode of her podcast, Just Trish, in which the influencer and YouTuber dressed as her then-obsession, the Weeknd in the HBO series The Idol. Wearing pale-pink hospital scrubs, a fake soul patch, and a do-rag, Paytas argued to her co-host, Oscar Gracey, that being a “full-time stay-at-home parent is 10 times harder than someone who can leave.” She referred to the nonparenting labor of working moms…

Actress Lindsay Lohan has shared that she wants to teach her son some hard-earned lessons learnt from her tough past. “I’m really grateful because I’ve gained so much wisdom from the things that I’ve gone through,” the actress said. Lohan, who struggled in her 20s as she grew up in the spotlight, added: “I can’t wait to share that with the people I love … everyday,” she said while pointing at her little brother, Dakota, 27, adding, “and my son when he gets…

In last week’s inaugural Swift Notes, I wrote about how in the past year Taylor Swift has been popping up in unexpected places, from crafting to debates about grammar. I was surprised to find her in a recent newsletter from the wonderful songwriter Phil Elverum, AKA Mount Eerie (and previously the Microphones), about his frustrating attempts to be heard in a Washington State government hearing on a bill proposing regulation of the ticketing market. (Sign up here – he writes really beautiful missives.)Ticketing has been an…

Ashlee Simpson has the benefit of hindsight when it comes to her infamous 2004 appearance on Saturday Night Live. Speaking on the Broad Ideas With Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen podcast, the singer explained that the performance, which saw her lip-syncing her single “Autobiography,” taught her how to pick herself back up. “I had done my rehearsal the night before and then I woke up the next day and I couldn’t speak,”  Simpson explained on the podcast episode. “I saw the voice doctor that day and I had two…

As we reach the end of the Krakoan Age, what is it like to be part of it and help lead the last chapter? It's only really been five years. At the same time, it's been five years. Five years is like five seasons of a major TV show. And especially for me, who wasn't there at the beginning, I'm not like Al , who was in those early meetings. I'm not like Gerry , who's exactly the same. I'm certainly not like John . I'm somebody who came in halfway through and entered the thing I was a fan of. What John had put…

Luke Combs is still riding the high of his 2024 Grammys duet with Tracy Chapman. The country star reflected on Sunday’s awards ceremony and his moving performance of “Fast Car” with the singer-songwriter on Instagram, calling the moment “unreal.” “What an unreal Grammy week to say the least,” Combs wrote. “There were so many laughs, tears, hugs, and cheers that it almost doesn’t seem real. From the hotel hangs and rehearsals, to the dinners and post show pizza, the vibes were HIGH.” Combs included a series of…

While Christopher Reeves passed away almost two decades ago, his name was thrust back into the spotlight last year following his CGI cameo in The Flash – which prompted an honest take from a Smallville alum. Now, his name is ringing in ears again following the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. The documentary in part highlights the Superman star's appearance at the 1996 Oscars following his life-changing horse-riding accident and the emotional standing ovation he…

In November 2020, an online account took to YouTube to create an 86-minute compilation of outtakes from Madonna‘s Music album. More than three years later, the unreleased song list has landed in longtime collaborator and record producer William Orbit‘s lap. The British musician, who worked with the pop powerhouse on Music, Ray of Light, and MDNA, admitted on Instagram Monday that he’s become a fanboy. “Cripes, where did this individual find all this? They know their stuff,” he touted in the caption. Am really…
