The year was 1998. Google was incorporated. Mark McGwire broke the single-season home run record. Viagra was approved by the FDA. And Outkast — two rappers named André 3000 and Big Boi from Atlanta, Georgia — dropped their incredible album Aquemini, featuring the iconically laid-back track, “SpottieOttieDopaliscious.” “It’s about that fly female that you kind of really want to get with,” says Big Boi of the song’s title. Sitting in the same control room of Stankonia Recording Studios in Atlanta, Big Boi recalled the song’s recording process. “I just remember being camped out for a long time with Dre, and him…

Instantly recognizable mask and costume? Tragic backstory? Iconic gimmick? All of these attributes describe some of cinema’s greatest slashers, folks like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and, of course, Ghostface, back in cinemas in this year’s Scream. But before Black Christmas, Italian gialli, and even Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, those were the attributes of comic book bad guys. Drawing influence from the gritty world of pulp fiction, comic books often featured costumed killers whose flair-filled approach to murder stands up to anything Chucky or Michael Myers could dish out. So if you ever find yourself answering phone calls from Ghostface, and that…
Prince Philip wasn’t the only man in Queen Elizabeth’s life.We’re, of course, referring to Henry Herbert, who was given the nickname Porchey having grown up with the courtesy title Lord Porchester, as he was the heir to the Earl of Carnarvon title. (Fun fact: Porchey lived at Highclere Castle, which is now known for being the main estate in Downton Abbey.) In The Crown, the queen and Porchey have a long lasting friendship thanks to their shared love of horses and the countryside. While Philip’s jealousy of Porchey is unfounded in The Crown, as Elizabeth only ever had eyes for her husband, the…

Sometimes, elevator music can turn into wedding bells — at least, that’s the case with Patty Loveless and her husband, Emory Gordy Jr. The couple met in an elevator at MCA Records, but at the time, it wasn’t love at first sight.”He had on some white overalls and I thought, ‘THIS guy is a producer?'” Loveless recalls. She thought Gordy Jr. looked more like a painter … and he wasn’t necessarily struck by Loveless either, thinking, “This mousy little thing is a artist?”Nonetheless, they began secretly dating, and Gordy Jr. proposed in 1987. However, it didn’t go exactly the way he’d planned.”He wanted to take…
It’s awards season, and during this time of the year, we often talk about the crazy lengths certain actors go to really delve into their roles. For example, Lady Gaga stayed in her House of Gucci accent for almost a year, and Andrew Garfield learned how to sing ahead of Tick, Tick… Boom!. But here’s a throwback movie fact we don’t talk about enough: Ed Helms full-on removed a tooth to play Stu in The Hangover. Back when the movie came out, it was reported that Ed Helms actually had his tooth pulled ahead of starring in the movie with Bradley…
Rolling Stone has acquired a majority stake in Life Is Beautiful, the annual music and arts festival staged in downtown Las Vegas.

Sometime after their mother has passed away and their father has deserted them, brothers Lucas (August Maturo) and Tom (Mike Manning) are left to fend for themselves. Living alone in a shabby house in the woods, Tom spends his days going to work and then going out at night to drink, whereas Lucas roams about the woods and is picked on by bullies. When things get rough at home, Tom proposes a game of Slapface – where the two take turns slapping each other. One day as Lucas is exploring an abandoned building, he comes across, and eventually befriends, a…
The following year, he addressed the breakup while speaking with Mr Porter, saying, “Me and Anne-Marie, when we were together, it was our policy not to speak about each other in public. We rarely broke that and if we did, it was for tiny things—’Yes, we are cooking turkey this Christmas’—and that policy still stands.”He added at the time, “Even separated, we’re still respectful of each other and committed to doing that publicly and personally,” while also admitting that ”things are really good” for him. Since meeting Liberati, he has appeared in TV shows including His Dark Materials, Watership Down and The Bridge, as well…

Although we at FASHION celebrate diversity all year round, we’d like to take this opportunity to specifically highlight the exceptional talent of Black designers, who still face barriers to entry, marginalization and a lack of representation in the world of fashion. It’s been over a year since protests against policy brutality that escalated across the U.S. and around the world triggered major changes across many industries, including fashion. In May 2020, Aurora James founded the 15 Percent Pledge, calling on retailers…
It feels like everyone is itching for a bit of comforting nostalgia these days, but it’s easy to fall short when trying to rekindle the magic of another time. With his new boot scootin’ new track “Neon Blue,” Joshua Hedley masterfully magnifies the sound of early 90s country through a modern lens.”Neon Blue” is the title track and first single from Hedley’s upcoming sophomore album, due out April 22 on New West Records. The song introduces a different era for Hedley, who has become a stalwart of Nashville’s ever-shrinking traditionalist country scenes that’s anchored by Robert’s Western World, one of the few true honky-tonks…

Magic Mike 3, officially titled Magic Mike’s Last Dance, is the trilogy-capper movie fans were afraid we’d never get — mostly because franchise star Channing Tatum said we wouldn’t — so we’re ready to accept whatever magic happens when Tatum re-teams with Steven Soderbergh. Details about what to expect when the male strippers return for the HBO Max exclusive are sparse (Joe Manganiello likely won’t be there), but just in case you were worried Magic Mike 3 might feature a new direction for the exotic dancers, Tatum is setting the record straight: yes, there will be dancing. It sounds pretty…
Suburban women are a force. Following the 2016 election, it became clear that the contingent of white suburban women could sway the power in the country. But in the months following, other suburban women knew it was time to step up, and in 2018, a group banded together to mobilize this demographic for good. Red Wine and Blue is a 504(c)(4) corporation working to drive women in the suburbs into action for good. With 250,000 members strong, they’re mobilizing and empowering women who haven’t been or considered themselves activists to get to work in their own communities. They’ve streamlined and…
