Screen Shot 2015-11-20 at 11.37.57 AM

David Bowiejust premiered this single/ short film for “★” (pronounced Blackstar), the title track off his upcoming album. The album release is slated for his birthday, January 8 (Happy 69th birthday, Thin White Duke!). Plus, his new play, Lazarus, a pseudo-sequel to The Man Who Fell to Earth, which stars Michael C. Hall and Cristin Milioti, just opened at the New York Theater Workshop this week. The short film, “★”, is beautifully obtuse and strange, directed by Johan Renck. Yesterday saw a premiere at the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn, one of several. So, is the astronaut Major Tom, perhaps? Maybe. Make the call for yourself. Watch.

Trailer Park: A Monster Calls, Midnight Special, and Melissa McArthy in The Boss

Boss, The (2016)

The Boss stars the Academy Award-nominated Melissa McCarthy, as a titan of industry who is sent to prison after she’s caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America’s latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget. McCarthy is joined by a cast that includes Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage, Kathy Bates  and SNL‘s Cecily Strong.

Although it won’t be released for nearly a year, Focus Features has revealed the first teaser trailer for the upcoming fantasy fable A Monster Calls, featuring Liam Neeson, Sigourney Weaver, and the legendary Geraldine Chaplin (she’s still around?).

A visually spectacular drama from acclaimed director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage), based on the award-winning children’s fantasy novel, the story concerns 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) as he attempts to deal with his mother’s illness and the bullying of his classmates by escaping into a fantastical world of monsters and fairy tales that explore courage, loss, and faith.

And finally: Warner Bros. Pictures has just released a first look at their upcoming sci-fi thriller Midnight Special starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, and Sam Shepard.

From Mud and Take Shelter writer and director Jeff Nichols, Midnight Special follows a father (Michael Shannon), who goes on the run to protect his young son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), and uncover the truth behind the boy’s special powers. What starts as a race from religious extremists and local law enforcement quickly escalates to a nationwide manhunt involving the highest levels of the Federal Government. Ultimately his father risks everything to protect Alton and help fulfill a destiny that could change the world forever in this genre–defying film as supernatural as it is intimately human.

#LGBT: Johnny Depp Is Proud of His Daughter Coming Out & Says, “All My Characters Are Gay”

From the Self-Evident project

Screen Shot 2015-11-23 at 11.09.42 AM

Model and actress Lily-Rose made a subtle statement about her sexuality earlier this year – by taking part in the Self-Evident project, which promotes inclusiveness and acceptance of the LGBT community. There is one guy who has always been her number one fan – her Dad, Johnny Depp. He recently discussed his close relationship with his daughter – and how he knew about her sexuality long before she came out publicly.

“She’s got thousands of followers on social media, and they were all taken completely by surprise. But not me. I already knew because she tells me everything – she’s not afraid to say anything to me. We’re super-tight and I’m very proud of our relationship.

Lily’s really together – she’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. She’s far surpassed myself there – and my friends, too!”

Depp knows about raising eyebrows for sure. At an AFI Festival screening of his new film, Black Mass, Depp was recounting how he was almost fired from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie because Disney executives were initially worried about his crazy performance as Jack Sparrow.

“It trickled back to me somehow that, ‘Damn it, Johnny Depp’s ruining the film! What is that thing? Is it drunk, is it gay?”

Depp recalled a meeting with someone from “the upper echelon of the studio.”

“’What the fuck are you doing?’” he recalled the man asking.

When they asked if it was gay, I said: ’Didn’t you know all my characters are gay?’”

WE knew. You can find out more about the Self-Evident project here.

Harry Styles Rolls His Eyes After Gigi Hadid Red Carpet Snub

0
0

It was the AMA red carpet incident that had Directioners spitting mad. Victoria’s Secret supermodel (and T-Swift super friend) Gigi Hadid was being interviewed by Giuliana Rancic when the boys of 1D were brought onto the platform. Gigi cooly shook hands with Harry, then warmly embraced Liam, Louis, and Niall. Harry was then seen rolling his eyes at her silliness. Like, REALLY. How dare she? Watch the Vine and video below.


The backstory for those of you not following the DRAMA: Harry dated Taylor Swift. It did not end well. Gigi Hadid is part of Taylor’s “squad.” Gigi has her friend’s back, of course, which is why she was rude to Harry on the red carpet. Caught up? Good.

The Worst Dressed at the AMAs

Wow. So many fashion missteps at last night’s American Music Awards. Too many big looks that felt out of place at a rick-rack, bottom-of-the-barrel fake award show. Save it for the Globes, people! Let’s dive right in and dissect the worst of the worst sartorial blunders. 

 

Gwen Stefani wearing something from the Sharon Tate Boudoir collection. Not gonna to be mad at the big hair, but the peignoir seems sliiiiightly age inappropriate and vaguely out of place on a red carpet.

A rare misstep for Harry. The couch-like pattern is reminiscent of Kim K‘s infamous Met Ball fiasco, and the way the pants flair at the bottom is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Niall though (on the end) is BEYOND yummy.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made us all fall in love with him again, after his AMAZING lip sync of Janet Jackson‘s Rhythm Nation. Now, he’s bringing those lips to a new endeavor with mistletoe on The Late Late Show the other night. He went for host James Corden in a big way. During the introduction at the top of the show, the actor ran from his dressing room at onto the stage and planted a pretty impressive smooch on Corden’s lips. JGL walked off, triumphant, and left Corden alone onstage to try and compose himself;

“Wow! He really came at me with some force. I don’t even know how to carry on.”

Brian Cranston gets in on the bit too, when… oh, just watch.

Reid Ewing, who plays the adorably dim Dylan on Modern Family, oh-so-casullly outed himself on Twitter over the weekend. After penning an article for HuffPo last week in which he discussed his life-long battle body dysmorphia (which resulted in a series of botched plastic surgeries), he took to Twitter and responded to a Good Morning America report featuring a young man named Eugene Bata who had opened up about his OWN battle with body dysmorphia. Ewing tweeted,

Justin Bieber Just Broke A 51-Year-Old Beatles’ Record!

“What do you mean,” you ask? In 1964, The Beatles set the record for the most songs on the Hot 100 list with 14 hits. Then, Drake tied this record with the songs that charted from his monster mixtapes What A Time To Be Alive and If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.

Justin Bieber has surpassed both! In a week, seventeen of the eighteen songs on his new album Purpose have entered the Hot 100! That’s right. Justin is now the artist holding the title of having the most songs in the Hot 100 chart in one week.

The first photos of Julianne Hough, Vanessa Hudgens, and Aaron Tveit as Sandy, Rizzo, and Danny (respectively) in January’s Grease: Live on FOX are here and they are REALLY SOMETHING! The special will air Sunday, Jan. 31 from 7 to 10 p.m., and will  also star Scream Queens’ Keke Palmer as Marty, singer Carly Rae Jepsen as Frenchy, You’re the Worst‘s Kether Donohue as Jan, and David Del Rio as Putzie.

Not a huuuuge fan of Julianne Hough (she kinda ruined Rock of Ages, and don’t get me started on the Footloose remake), but if Hollywood is ding-dong determined to make her a musical star, I guess Grease is the place to start. It’s a hard role to screw up. And she’s got the look down.

Grease is one of the movies that made me want to be an entertainer, and I have literally been waiting my whole life to play Sandy. My siblings and I watched it and played it out over and over when we were kids. This is my dream role and performing it live on television will be one of the most thrilling opportunities I’ve had in my career so far.”

Meanwhile, Vanessa is always an absolute DREAM onstage. Did you see her on the Tony’s singing “The Night They Invented Champagne” from her Broadway hit Gigi? SO AMAZEBALLS. She keeps getting better with time.

And Aaron. WHATTAHUNK. I’m still swooning over his performance in Les Miserables.

So, yeah, this might be worth your time.

Dixie Chicks Style: A Fashion Analysis of the Best Female Country Group of all Time

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Before Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and Carrie Underwood, there were the Dixie Chicks AKA The TRUE queens of country feminism.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonderdixie-chicks-2016-tour-1k
AND, they JUST announced a summer reunion tour in 2016.

Parks and Recreation - World of Wonder
In the late 90’s, there was a lot of girl power happening…

Spice Girls - World of Wonder
(and I’m not just talking about the leaders of the free world: the Spice Girls).

The pop-country crossover was happening at an accelerated rate due to this:

Shania Twain - World of Wonder
And in 1998, three country women (from Texas) landed on the pop culture singer-songwriter zeitgeist in a way that no other female country group has before.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
The badass grammy-grabbing girls – famous for a laundry list of number ones (and for calling Bush out on his shit) – have had somewhat of a fashion evolution over the years.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Just like anyone, style reflects where we are at in our lives and I think the Dixie Chicks fashion choices over the last two decades argues you that theory perfectly.

1998

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Here we are first introduced to these honky tonk legends and their “girl next door” appeal is very on fleek.

Clueless - World of Wonder
I find their fashionably clueless wardrobe BOTH endearing,
but also genius to their craft because there was no flair, thrills, or cheap tricks,
just really great, honest, and well constructed songs about Wide Open Spaces.

1999
(AKA Their Best Dressed Year)

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
With the release of their groundbreaking Fly,
Natalie, Martie, and Emily crossed over into full fledged pop icons.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Thanks to Destiny’s Child, there was a system set in place for girl groups in the late 90’s: each girl wear a different color and show as much belly as possible.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
And when they started winning trophies,
you could see the humor and camp in their clothes.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
How To Look Joyful: adorn your head in their hair clips and finish your shoulders off with a crushed velvet shrug.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Belly jewels is a 2 to 1 ratio rule by the way…

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Sorry Swift, but these are all the #SquadGoals I need:

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Beyond all the tri-color eleganza (and lip gloss),
they continued to remind people that they were more than dumb blondes through their music videos.

They had this perfect way of oscillating between high glam…

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder(Real HouseWives of Runaway Brides.)

and looking like they lived in Star’s Hollow with Lorelai Gilmore.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
2000

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Move over Gaga and Lil Kim!
Natalie 
– clearing being the Beyonce – continued to push her fashion choices in the early 2000’s.

2002

Motherhood was very en vogue in 2003 and all three women were making and having babies.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
How to get this look:
snatch a mesh tank, black bra, and low-rise jeans. Oh yeah…

Publizity - World of Wonder
…and get pregnant.

With the release of Home,
the girls were growing up and showing a softer side
compete with clean lines, earth tones, and some boho realness.

Dixie Chicks - World of WonderDixie Chicks - World of Wonder

2003

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
In 2003, life coach and boss lady Natalie Maines issued this statement:

“Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
The media and fans backfired in a volatile, harmful, and disgusting way.

LaGanja - World of Wonder
With their amazing Not Ready To Make Nice Video, the girls showed their mourning (and how chic and sleek they could clean up).

Dixie Chicks - World of WonderDixie Chicks - World of Wonder
And they kept showing that mourning in all black.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder

And more black.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
Oh yeah, and did I mention MORE black?

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
And even in the face of adversity, they looked INCREDIBLE.

The Craft - World of Wonder
2006

Hated by many, but loved by a wider and even more diverse audience now,
they continued winning awards and slaying the red carpet.

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
2007

Dixie Chicks - World of Wonder
With a newly brunette Natalie, the group had won back (and then some!)
They won musically, and they won the runway.

Their fashion game was super fierce too.

2014

Small shout-out to Natalie’s butch femme moment that we are all living (and questioning our sexuality over) for.

Joe Jonas Loves the Gays Too, Y’all

Nick isn’t the only outspoken LGBT ally in the Jonas clan, Joe wants everyone to know that he parties at gay clubs, too, and what’s more – he thinks it’s “flattering” when he gets hit on by gay men! Joe tells PrideSource.

“I don’t mind… if someone is nice. A lot of guys come out to the shows — some gay guys as well — and I love that. They rock out; they have fun. And I feel like the music is helping people express themselves in a way. I’m seeing people with glitter on their face, with the brightest colors. I love that we can encourage people to be themselves.”

Jonas also says that he’s “accidentally” stumbled into quite a few gay bars, mostly in Europe, and that he’s accompanied Nick to a gay bar, too, and met a “really great” DJ there.

“I was really impressed by him – he played everything and was all over the map. His musicality was really great, and we just had a great time.

I just think we live in a world where obviously it’s not a big deal — it’s fine — and you can have fun wherever you go and make the best of it.”

His goal for the new EP, he says is to “reach out in my own way and really get people to feel comfortable.”

“I hope now we can encourage other straight guys to have a voice as well. I care too much about my friends who are gay and fans who are gay to be quiet about it.”

“Kylie” – A Short Film About Anonymous Internet Haterz from Kylie Jenner’s Perspective

0
0

A Kylie Jenner makeup tutorial is played backwards as an anonymous person reads real comments from real articles about her. “The clip is played in reverse to symbolize that the comments are stripping Kylie of her self esteem and identity. The film is meant to be viewed as a criticism of the hate culture on blogs.”

Says the film’s creator Will Rebein:

While reading news articles about Kendall and Kylie in Australia, I was shocked and disgusted by the aggressive comments directed towards Kylie. For years, people have cruelly commented on Kylie’s appearance, always pitting her against her sisters Kendall and Kim, and suggesting that her looks are inferior. It’s unreal that people take the time out of their day to write these comments, and forget that there is a real person potentially seeing these things and internalizing them. People used to always criticize Kylie for having thin lips, then when she got injections people tried to tear her down – the public will never be satisfied. People forget that Kylie Jenner is a real person; just a young 18 year old girl. This anonymous hate culture on gossip sites is out of control, and I thought by reading these comments (which were literally just taken from the top comments of two articles) and showing imagery of Kylie makes them seem more real and realize how painful the words can be.

Watch it below.

It looks like Thanksgiving has come a little early, guys. R&B superstar and my biggest tweenage crush Usher dropped an epic progress pic on his Instagram showcasing his famous abs while wearing nothing but some black underwear. His body has basically never looked better.

A few years ago Usher shared his six-pack secrets with Men’s Health.

“If you eat clean, you get better results… Seventy percent of ab work is what you eat.”

Ugh.
