Lana Del Rey‘s gone from singing “Diet Pepsi” in her car to on her stage at Wembley Stadium — inviting opener Addison Rae back out to perform alongside her at her July 3-4 London concerts. Lana took verse one of Addison’s single — with its lyrics about her ripped blue jeans, cherry red lips and body that’s “a work of art you’d die to see,” all of which wouldn’t sound out of place in the earlier years of LDR’s own discography — and Addison joined in on the “untouched, XO, young lust, let’s go” pre-chorus, with the two vocalists coming…

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem rules the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated July 12) for a seventh consecutive, and total, week. The set earned 173,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending July 3 — down a scant 3% compared to the previous week. The album opened at No. 1 on the May 31 chart.

Also in the top 10 of the…

James Gunn is getting candid about the themes behind his highly anticipated Superman. The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios recently opened up to The Sunday Times about what his new superhero blockbuster is really about, especially given the current political climate in the United States and President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies. “I mean, Superman is the story of America,” Gunn explained. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.” He also acknowledged that…

Dealing With Gestational DiabetesKelly was diagnosed with gestational diabetes “well into my third trimester,” she told People in September 2022, “so it wasn’t like I developed it as some people get it from the get-go when they’re pregnant. I got it in my third trimester and basically, I thought it was something that I had done wrong.” Her only pregnancy craving had been sugar, especially sweet drinks, Kelly explained, and even though she tried to temper it by drinking fresh-pressed juice, “it still had a lot more sugar than I needed.” Once she made purposeful changes in her diet, she continued, she suffered from a sugar-withdrawal headache for…

Lena Dunham said she now understands why the lack of diversity on her hit HBO show Girls was “really disappointing to people.” The coming-of-age comedy-drama, which ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, was previously criticized for its characters not accurately representing New York City’s diverse population. The creator and star defended the series in 2012, saying she’s “half-Jew, half-WASP” and wanted to avoid “tokenism in casting.” More than a decade after Girls first premiered, Dunham recently reflected on the show, telling The Independent, “I think one of the profound issues around Girls was that there was so little real…

Rachael Kirkconnell & Matt JamesStatus: SplitIn the years since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell left his 2021 season together (then briefly split and eventually reunited), they’ve faced many a breakup rumor. “I think everybody needs to take a break from social media,” the former Bachelor exclusively told E! News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. “Our lives are lived so much in front of our phones that when anybody steps out of being on their phone 24/7, people think it’s the end of the world.” In fact, Matt said marriage remains the end-game for the pair. “I think the good thing about…

Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Dov Charney Continued to Pile UpWomen continued to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against Dov. “Initially it was one woman,” employee and civil rights attorney Toni Jaramilla said in The Cult of American Apparel, and “that led to a second. But in doing our due diligence, we found other women who were claiming they experienced the same thing.” However, the lawyer explained, women who used to work for American Apparel had signed agreements waiving their right to a jury trial and barring them from speaking negatively in public about Dov or the company, meaning their…
