Lil Nas X Looks Back On The Triumphs And Challenges Of His Rise To Fame In A New ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ Trailer

Last year, Lil Nas X made a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival with the premiere of a new documentary movie, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero. Soon, the film will be made available more widely, as its set to debut on HBO January 27 at 8 p.m. ET and start streaming via Max at the same time.

Today, a new two-minute trailer was shared, and it serves as an overarching summary of his journey so far, from early life to “Old Town Road,” from his sexuality to his fans and his haters.

A press release for the movie notes:

“The film […] follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour. The diaristic film is a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers. Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures one of today’s most provocative pop stars at a transformational point in his life, both on and off stage. Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, aka Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed Long Live Montero show.”

Gunna Puts His Charm On A Group Of Classic Video Vixens In The Video For ‘Bachelor’ With Turbo

At the top of the year, Gunna assured the world that 2024 would bring new music from the Atlanta rap star. While there’s still a little over 11 months for him to live up to that promise, the rapper continues to treat his loyal fan base. Back in November, Gunna and his longtime producer Turbo teamed up for their “Bachelor” single, and today the two delivered the music video for the track.

The new visual captures Gunna as the charming leader of a cast of ladies who are all familiar faces to the hip-hop world as they appeared in classic videos from the 2000s. KD Aubert (Fabolous’ “Into You”), Rosa Acosta (Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”), Eboni Jackson (50 Cent’s “Wanksta”), LaNisha Cole (Pharrell’s “Frontin”), Esther Baxter (Petey Pablo’s “Freek-A-Leek”), Tammy Torres (Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer”), Bria Myles (Twista’s “Girl Tonite”) and Sasha Lee (David Banner’s “Play”) are all featured in the video. Gunna stands firm on his role as the leader as Turbo plays James Blake’s “Do You Ever” — the song sampled on “Bachelor” — on a grand piano. All in all, the new visual is both classy and flashy which is what we expect Gunna to be.

You can watch Gunna and Turbo’s video for “Bachelor” above.

Gunna is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

We Ranked Our Favorite ‘Light’ Beers On The Market To Help You Find The Very Best

Half Acre/Short's/Night Shift/Bell's/Istock/Uproxx
Half Acre/Short’s/Night Shift/Bell’s/Istock/Uproxx

Maybe “Dry January” isn’t your thing. You don’t want to give up on beer completely and yet… you still want to make a healthier choice to start 2024. That’s where light beer comes in. “Light beer” doesn’t have to carry a bad connotation. Sure, there are still many light beers brewed in giant factories by macro-brewers and many of these options taste more like yellow, fizzy water than actual beer. But there are also myriad great-tasting beers that are light on calories, carbs, and alcohol just waiting to be discovered.

We don’t want you to navigate the world of light beer alone. So we ranked eight of our favorite light beers available almost anywhere. Keep scrolling to see our list.

8.) Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty

Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty
Dogfish Head

ABV: 4%

Average Price: $11 for a six-pack

The Beer:

Dogfish Head Slightly Might is a very unique beer. This IPA is only 95 calories, 3.6 carbs, 1 gram of protein, and zero grams of fat. It’s also only 4% ABV and loaded with tropical fruit flavor and gentle hop bitterness. None of that is unique. What’s interesting is the use of monk fruit as a sweetener instead of sugar. This adds even more fruity flavor to this brew without adding a single calorie.

Tasting Notes:

This lightly hazy beer begins with a nose of ripe pineapple, coconut, guava, passionfruit, citrus peels, and light, floral pine. The palate is dry, tropical, and citrus fruit-centered, and ends with a gentle hop bitterness. For a light beer, it’s surprisingly flavorful.

Bottom Line:

This isn’t your classic bitter IPA. It’s fruity, sweet, lightly bitter, and crushable.

7.) Zero Gravity McLighty’s

Zero Gravity McLighty's
Zero Gravity

ABV: 3.2%

Average Price: $17 for a 12-pack

The Beer:

Zero Gravity McLighty’s is the epitome of a crushable, light lager. It might be only 3.2% ABV, but it’s loaded with Hallertau Blanc, Hallertau Mittlefru, and Czech Saaz hops. It gets its malt backbone from the use of both Pilsner and Munich malts.

Tasting Notes:

A nose of cereal grains, freshly baked bread, caramel malts, citrus peels, and light fruit greet you before your first sip. Drinking it brings forth notes of yeasty bread, cereal grains, fresh hay, honey, and lemon. The finish is crisp and refreshing, and it leaves you craving more.

Bottom Line:

This is a classic, crushable, thirst-quenching lager. It’s low in alcohol, but surprisingly big on taste.

6.) Bent Paddle Light Lager

Bent Paddle Light Lager
Bent Paddle

ABV: 4.1%

Average Price: $17 for a 12-pack

The Beer:

This 4.1% ABV year-round brew from the folks at Bent Paddle is known for its crisp, fresh taste. This is thanks to being brewed with German Tradition hops and House Lager Strain yeast. On the malt front, it gets a big backbone from the use of Rahr 2-Row, Rahr North Star Pils, flaked non-GMO corn, and acidulated malt.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is a classic lager with a ton of sweet corn, cereal grains, honey, and lightly floral hops. The palate is a mix of cracker-like malts, cereal grains, sweet corn, fresh-cut grass, citrus, and floral hops. The finish is sweet, crisp, and highly refreshing.

Bottom Line:

You wouldn’t know this is a light lager when you sip it. It has a lot of flavor and a nice malt backbone that brings everything together nicely.

5.) Short’s Local’s Light

Short’s Local’s Light
Short’s

ABV: 5.2%

Average Price: $8 for a six-pack

The Beer:

While the light beer craze has only taken over the craft world in the last decade, the brewers at Shorts Brewing have been crafting this light lager for the last twenty years. Brewed with Pilsen malts and Perle hops, this pale lager is known for its crisp, clean, refreshing flavor all year long.

Tasting Notes:

Sweet corn, yeasty bread, honey, citrus peels, and floral hops start this beer off on the right foot on the nose. There’s more of the same in the best way possible on the palate. Cereal grains, corn, freshly baked bread, lemon peel, honey, and lightly spicy, floral hops make for a unique, crisp finish.

Bottom Line:

If you enjoy a classic, sweet corn, crisp, dry lager, this is your jam. It’s even better that it’s highly sessionable.

4.) Night Shift Nite Lite

Night Shift Nite Lite
Night Shift

ABV: 4.3%

Average Price: $9 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

This simple, refreshing beer is only 4.3% ABV and 120 calories per can. It’s not like any light beer you’ve ever had. It’s brewed with German noble hops and premium two-row barley and no preservatives or corn syrup. It tastes like a classic, crisp, German pilsner, but it’s labeled as a light beer.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is a nice mix of floral, earthy, grassy hops, lemon and orange peels, cereal grains, and honey. Sipping it brings forth notes of bready malts, cereal grains, lemongrass, hay, floral hops, and a crisp, lightly bitter, refreshing finish.

Bottom Line:

This beer is labeled as a light lager, but it tastes like a crisp, flavorful German-style pilsner. There’s nothing “light” when it comes to aroma and flavor.

3.) Lagunitas Daytime

Lagunitas Daytime
Lagunitas

ABV: 4%

Average Price: $11 for a six-pack

The Beer:

Lagunitas is well-known for its bright, flavorful, hoppy IPAs. It should come as no surprise that the brand sells a light version of its iconic style. It’s only 4% ABV, 98 calories per can, and 3 carbs. But, while it’s low on unhealthy ingredients, it’s high on citrus and tropical flavors thanks to the addition of specifically chosen malts, oats, and Centennial and Citra hops.

Tasting Notes:

Orchard fruits, apricots, lemon peels, grapefruit, and herbal, earthy, piney hops are prevalent on the nose. The palate is filled with ripe peaches, lemon peels, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple, caramel malts, and dank pine.

Bottom Line:

This is a light IPA, but it doesn’t taste anything like that. It’s a crushable, sessionable beer that will appeal to all IPA drinkers.

2.) Bell’s Light-Hearted

Bell’s Light-Hearted
Bell’s

ABV: 4%

Average Price: $10 for a six-pack

The Beer:

There are few low-ABV, sessionable IPAs better than Bell’s Light Hearted. This light version of the popular Bell’s Two Hearted is known for its mix of sweet malts, citrus fruits, and piney floral hops thanks to being brewed with Centennial and Galaxy hops as well as hand-selected specialty hops.

Tasting Notes:

Cracker-like malts, cereal grains, caramelized pineapple, lemon zest, grapefruit, and spicy floral hops lead the way on the nose. On the palate, you’ll find hints of cereal grains, honey, orange peel, lemon zest, grapefruit, and just a hint of bitter, floral, pine at the finish.

Bottom Line:

At only 4% ABV, it’s amazing how much flavor this IPA has. It’s a citrus IPA-lover’s dream. Especially a drinker looking for something slightly healthier.

1.) Half Acre Fader

Half Acre Fader
Half Acre

ABV: 5%

Average Price: $12 for a six-pack

The Beer:

If you take a look at the can, this beer is listed as a Chicago premium lager beer. This year-round offering is known for its clean, fresh, flavor. It’s brewed with a mix of Pilsner and Vienna malts. It gets its floral hop presence from the addition of Tradition, Tettnang, and Saaz hops. And it’s a sessionable 5% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is sweet corn, cereal grains, yeasty bread, citrus peels, and floral, noble hops. The palate continues this trend with lemon peels, honey, orange, freshly baked bread, cereal grains, sweet corn, and a nice finish of floral, herbal, piney noble hops. It’s a classic, crisp lager for all occasions.

Bottom Line:

If you’re only going to drink one beer on this list, make it Half Acre Fader. It’s half no-frills, sessionable light lager, and half classic German Helles lager. Above all things, it’s delicious.

Did Che Diaz Really Get The Ax From ‘And Just Like That…’?

Che Diaz And Just Like That
HBO Max

The world of Sex and the City transformed into a bit of a horror show when And Just Like That… debuted in 2021. Granted, the “Death By Peloton” episode got that vibe started, and Che Diaz grabbed that torch, although to be fair, Che ended up being one of the most watchable parts of the second season. Rather than simply being an intentionally abrasive presence, Sara Ramirez’s character grew some shades. They did things other than serve as Miranda’s motivation to let Steve Brady fly on his own (where, let’s be honest, he will probably be much happier without her), and Che loves animals, which made me dig Che. A little bit? More than that, actually.

However, it looks And Just Like That… might have a Che Diaz-shaped hole when it returns for the third season. Speculation went into overdrive this week (especially after Melissa Barrera’s recent dismissal from Scream) after Ramirez (who has regularly been posting support for Palestine and calling for a ceasefire) began vague-Instagramming in a way that made people wonder: “Our industry is so duplicitous. While they give awards away, casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians in Gaza to ensure they will not work again.”

Another added wrinkle: Cynthia Nixon, who portrays Miranda Hobbes, has also voiced support for Palestine and participated in a hunger strike for the cause, and there haven’t been any rumors that Nixon has been let go. Well, The Daily Mail claims to have spoken to a source who knows that Ramirez was “fired,” allegedly over nothing to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

‘Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the cease fire,’ they told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore. They were on the chopping block since last season.

‘After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying. The storyline as a struggling comedian was a waste of airtime and Sara knew it.’

The source added, “Sara needs to accept that this is not Grey’s Anatomy, and her character was not a pivotal part of the storyline.” Now, is this true or not? The And Just Like That… writers gave Che a new romance in the second season finale, and there was no inkling that the character was going to leave the show. Instead, Che kind-of seemed like another Miranda casualty (i.e., like Steve) who would go on to do their own thing in separate arcs, but maybe not?

Neither Ramirez nor HBO/Max has delivered any confirmation on the subject, so we might be waiting until the third season to find out.

Renee Rapp’s ‘Mean Girls’ Press Tour Has Been A Master Class Of Chaos

Mean Girls
Paramount

Once every few years, a spunky young actress makes waves on the scene with soul-crushing sarcasm and a touch of wit, and everyone loves it before they begin to slowly turn on her until she retreats from the spotlight. It’s like an ongoing prophecy at this point! So it’s always a little scary when a new and cool actress arrives on the scene, because how long will it take for everyone to turn against her? This is the fun of Hollywood!

Recently, Mean Girl Renee Rapp has been paving her way in the industry, not only with her debut album but also as the vicious Regina George in the movie musical Mean Girls. Rapp also portrayed George in the Broadway run in 2019. During her press cycle, the Gen Zers have been living for her seemingly filter-less comments and all-around out-of-pocket nature. We love her for it! Or is it too much? Maybe we are all just online too often.

Rapp has been going viral on just about every platform for her interview one-liners, call-outs, and powerful defense of her friend Megan Thee Stallion (“best ass I’ve ever seen in my life”). But there’s so much more than that!

Here she is doing an ASMR lecture on how “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child helped her overcome anxiety as a child:

And here she explains how she is proudly ageist:

Which explains her not understanding early 2000s references:

Also, she really has the confidence of a middle-aged New York man. This can be scary:

And whatever is happening in this Stephen Colbert interview that ends with them eating cake and covering Drake.

At least she’s self-aware! Rapp made an Instagram post where she poked fun at herself and “lack” of media training by captioning a selfie with “her lack of media training is outrageous.” Maybe she is still in Regina George mode.

Maybe it’s not about the media training…but all of the jokes she made along the way.

It seems Selena Gomez is heading back to her roots. The pop star is set to be executive producing a revival of Wizards Of Waverly Place for Disney, alongside David Henrie, who played her brother on the original show.

Gomez cheerfully announced the news on her Instagram Story, complete with a photo of herself and Henrie from their time on the series years ago. “We’re back,” she captioned.

According to Deadline, Disney Branded Television ordered a pilot of the series. Gomez will be appearing in the first episode to reprise her role as Alex Russo. The plot of the new series’ start will find Justin Russo (played by Henrie) going about his life as an adult, after giving up his wizard powers. However, while living with his wife and two children, a young wizard shows up at his house looking for training. This would set up the rest of the first season’s apparent plot from there.

Some of the new cast members joining the show include Janice LeAnn Brown (Disney’s Just Roll With It), Alkaio Thiele (Call Me Kat), and Mimi Gianopulos (American Princess). The new reboot was written by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, who are known for their work on Disney’s Raven’s Home spin-off.

It’s unclear if any other of the original Wizards Of Waverly Place cast members will be returning.

Check out Gomez’s announcement below.

Eric Andre Talks About His New Special And His Earliest Pranks Gone Wrong

Eric Andre
Adult Swim

In Eric Andre Live Near Broadway, a new Adult Swim comedy special that debuts tonight, the veteran comedy maniac incorporates various liquids, visual aids, guests, and set pieces while playing to a raucous live audience that seems to super charge the proceedings. It’s the perfect proof point for why Andre’s show has endured, showing an audience clamoring for and being rewarded with something real. Because, while some parts of Andre’s show are, of course, scripted and expertly planned out, the show (both the classic version and this live edition) just feels like a primal comedy scream, born from pent up anxiety and boundless creativity manifested through on-the-spot inventiveness and comedy guts of steel. Not quite anarchy, but something quite close and quite real.

As we do when Andre has a new project set to hit screens, Uproxx spoke with him, checking in on this new special, performance anxiety, crafting the exact right kind of jizz cannon, shocking the hell out of guests, taking to the high seas, and his earliest pranks.

We’re both fellow anxiety sufferers. Is doing this in front of an audience helpful to your anxiety or is it just a speed-run through chaos internally?

I think more the latter. I get more comfortable doing the show as the show goes on. My anxiety isn’t totally logical. I definitely have dealt with performance anxiety stage fright for years, which is normal, but my anxiety manifests at weird parts of the day that aren’t totally based on logic or external stimulus. Anxiety is a fiction. Anxiety is a fiction and anxiety is just a sensation, but it’s not totally logical. It’s misplaced. It’s a distraction.

How much does the live audience aspect feed the improvisational aspect of these shows?

A good amount. It’s prank-based, so you’re relying on whoever you bring up on stage. If they’re a great guest, you got a great show. If they’re so-so, especially at the end where I’m FaceTiming their ex, it’s in their hands more than it’s in my hands. We’ve had a couple shows where it was a total bust, and it’s really stressful and frustrating. But it’s worth the risk because when I do pull it off, it works really well and the crowd erupts. It’s a high wire act a little bit, especially that stuff. But I lucked out completely with the New York show because Billy Porter was so engaging and he was so reactive to each and every twist and turn. And also the guy, the audience member at the end, that guy Ryan and his ex-girlfriend were so perfect, without spoiling anything.

Yeah, Billy seemed to be completely surprised by everything that was going on.

He was baffled. He had never seen me or the show. He had no idea what he was getting into. People always ask, “Why do people do the show if they don’t know what they’re getting into?” And I say, anytime I’ve done any talk show or any press, “I have no idea what I’m getting into.” And you want to promote whatever you’re working on. We like attention.

I’m sure there’s an aspect of the unknown that’s appealing to someone coming on the show as well.

Billy Porter knew nothing. He really had no idea. I really caught him off guard. He was perfect. He was a perfect guest.

How did he feel after the show? Do you check in after the show to see how someone is?

He was gone after the show by the time I got off-stage. No. I think he had a good time. I gave him a hug and a kiss.

Can you take me through the construction of the ejaculate canon?

That’s mule semen. No, I couldn’t tell you. It’s Joe Holiday, Gizmo Joe, the guy that builds our props. He built that rig and he has some jizz-like substance that he’s created. And he also uses some, I don’t know, he has a crazy contraption. He’s brilliant. He’s a genius prop master. He’s like Christopher Lloyd in Back To The Future. He has a TikTok that’s really famous for crazy gizmos and contraptions that he makes. He’s awesome.

What was behind the choice of the Simpsons porn in the background? Why not Family Guy?

That was a last minute decision. We only did that for that show. On the road, we were having rappers on the show and stuff and we would have people drink the hot sauce and beer and Red Bull and all this stuff and do dizzy bat, and then rap. Some people would handle that actually well, so in the last few shows leading up, we were like, “Why don’t we go further?” In the Philly show the night before, we had a dog pooping backwards and nobody cared. It looked cool. So then we were like, “Why don’t we show cartoon porn or something?” So that was a last minute. We weren’t sure if that was going to work or not. It worked really well.

Aside from the special, you’re going on a comedy cruise coming up in the next couple weeks. What is Eric Andre’s show in international waters going to be like?

Completely lawless. The law books don’t apply.

How big is the waiver that people have to sign to go onto this thing?

It’s giant. It looks like butcher paper.

I have not had a chance to read Dumb Ideas yet, but looking forward to that. What was that process like writing the book?

We (Andre and Dan Curry, The Eric Andre Show head writer and exec producer) were trying to make a prank cookbook at first. It was like pranks you could do at home and a prank kit and all this stuff. I don’t know, it didn’t have enough meat on the bones, so we just started writing stories and behind the scenes tales of the trials and tribulations of the show and the movie and everything else, and then we hit our stride.

What was the first prank that you did, or what inspired the first prank that you did when you were younger?

That’s a good question. The first prank, I don’t know, they’re all crude. I’m trying to think of from when I was a little kid. My buddy got expelled from high school for pooping in the history textbooks, but I can’t claim that one. I remember one time I bashed my head through a fire hose glass enclosure in the English building. It was 11th grade. Everybody was walking to class in the hallways. I bashed my head through the glass, I pulled my head back, and the glass sliced my forehead and my hands up, but it was coming out of the center of my hands, the blood. I didn’t mean to do that, I was just trying to make a big loud noise. I didn’t think the glass would break. I wasn’t really thinking it through, I was fucking crazy. I bash my head through the thing and I lean back and blood was coming out of my forehead and my hands and I was like, “Stigmata!” And I bled all the way to the other building. They made me go to the hospital.

You got the laugh?

No, my friend was like, “Jesus Christ.”

Mortified.

Mortified.

You’ve been in this obviously for a while, are you having to train yourself in any different ways? Are you having to guard against certain injuries more than not?

Yeah, I still get injured. I try not to. Getting injured sucks now. I’m in my forties. You always make mistakes.

I’m assuming it’s not the Johnny Knoxville getting tossed around by a bull to the point of near comatose level?

No, he goes really fucking hard. He’s gotten 16 concussions.

You’ve worked with him obviously over a couple of projects. Is there a competitive streak to you when you’re in the same room with him?

No, not at all. He’s like my big brother. I look up to him and look at him in awe. I don’t feel competitive at all. I feel like I’m trying to learn from him.

Yeah, it feels like I don’t think anybody could really match him. It feels like that’s probably flirting with death if one tried to match him at this point.

I can’t believe he’s alive.

‘Eric Andre Live Near Broadway’ premieres tonight at midnight on Adult Swim

Issa Rae’s Comedy ‘Rap Sh!t’ Is The Latest Victim Of The Cancellation Bloodbath At Max

Rap Shit
Max

HBO Max may have rebranded as Max, but one thing has definitely remained the same: A steady stream of cancellations. Rap Sh!t, a hip-hop comedy series from Insecure creator Issa Rae, is the latest victim of the ongoing bloodbath at the streamer.

While fans were hoping that Rap Sh!t would return for Season 3, Max has confirmed that the series is no more in a statement announcing its fate.

“We are extremely grateful to Issa Rae for creating Rap Sh!t, a one-of-a-kind comedy with compelling social commentary that reached viewers in a way only Issa’s talents can accomplish,” a Max spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter. “A huge thank you to Issa, showrunner Syreeta Singleton and the teams at Hoorae and 3 Arts Entertainment for introducing us to Shawna and Mia, a duo whose journey fans have been invested in and who they have continued to root for through everything. We’ll never get ‘Seduce and Scheme’ out of our heads and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Rap Sh!t joins a growing list of recent cancelations at Max, which now includes Warrior, Julia, and Our Flag Means Death. However, HBO chief Casey Bloys has confirmed that the creators of the Taika Waititi pirate series are free to shop the show to another platform. As of this writing, no such plans have been announced for Rap Sh!t. Yet.
