As if Rudy Giuliani wasn’t already up to his neck with legal fees, the former Donald Trump attorney is now being sued by Hunter Biden for allegedly hacking his infamous laptop and other devices.

According to the lawsuit, Giuliani and his former attorney Robert Costello are accused of spending several years “hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from” Biden. The suit alleges that the duo’s actions caused the “total annihilation” of Biden’s digital privacy.

Aiding the lawsuit is the fact that Giuliani has “not only admitted but bragged about downloading data,” which was easily proved by highlighting just one of the many, many times Rudy opened his mouth.

Via CNN:

As an example, they pointed to an episode of Giuliani’s podcast ‘America’s Mayor Live’ in February 2023. According to the lawsuit, in a video of the podcast, Giuliani “held up a laptop computer on camera and announced: ‘This belongs to Hunter Biden.’”

“He proceeded to brag about having copied Plaintiff’s data onto his own computer and about having accessed, analyzed and manipulated the transferred data,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit is part of a more aggressive move by Hunter Biden who is going after his Republican detractors. Before targeting Giuliani, Hunter sued former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler for spending his post-administration free time trying to access Hunter’s devices.

“Everyone involved in stealing and manipulating Hunter’s data should be hearing footsteps right about now,” a source on Hunter’s legal team told CNN.

Yesterday, Paramore sent fans into a spiral after posting a cryptic teaser to social media. The post featured a screen recording of the notes app, as the following was typed out: “RE: This Is Why… 9.28 – This Is Why… 10.2 – Why Is This?… 10.6 – Is This Why?” While the first part referenced the band’s album, This Is Why, that dropped in February, many have been wondering what the shifted titled on October 2 and October 6 could mean.

The primary fan theory is that Paramore would be dropping a deluxe version of the album — on at least one of the dates. Or maybe a single announcement before the deluxe drops.

Another one floating around is that they could release potentially two additional new projects with the listed titles.

Finally, some fans believe that a documentary is on the way. “Once again choosing to believe doc and TIW Deluxe are incoming. perhaps a live album to accompany the doc. source: myself,” one user wrote.

Another opted for some math to prove this, pointing out, “10.2… 10×2 = 20… Paramore have been a band for 20 years next year in conclusion October 2nd is the documentary announcement.”

Whatever it turns out to be, fans are on the edge of their laptops.

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

Remember when Kanye West and Julia Fox dated? That was a fun three months? six months? seven years? (you could tell me it lasted any amount of time and I would believe you) of our lives. Since the breakup, Fox has revealed that the reason she started the relationship was to distract the rapper from bugging his ex-wife and mother of his kids, Kim Kardashian (“I was like, oh my god, maybe I can get him off of Kim’s case”).

Fox also recently confessed that she and West never had sex.

In an interview with the New York Times, Fox was asked if she always knew sex was going to play a big part in her memoir, Down the Drain. “I felt like it was the truth. Why not write it?” she answered. “I have this thing where, in my personal writing, I don’t go into as much detail as I could. I’m like: ‘This crazy thing happened. OK, moving on…’ So I made it a point to put the reader in the room. I didn’t want to skip over things. So maybe some things are too detailed.” There’s nothing about Fox’s sex life with West, however. “Because there, like, wasn’t any,” the Uncut Gems star said. “It wasn’t really about that.”

They were too busy hoarding the world’s supply of denim to have sex.

Down the Drain comes out on October 10th.

Today (September 26), Spotify announced Jam, a new feature that aims to bring music listeners together, but what is it and how does it work?

Spotify lays it out in a blog post and describes Jam as “a personalized, real-time listening session for your group to tune into together,” adding, “Jam builds on some of our popular social features and combines them with our personalization technology to take real-time listening with pals to the next level.”

As for how to use the feature (which is rolling out globally today), the first step is to make sure you have an up-to-date version of the Spotify app. From there, one user (who must have a Premium account) can start a Jam, which any Spotify user (Premium or not) can join.

More specifically, Spotify explains, “To get grooving, select a playlist or song you’re feeling excited about. You’ll see a “Start a Jam” button by clicking the speaker icon at the bottom of your screen or by hitting the three dot menu within your favorite playlist or song. You can also select a device to play on, whether that’s your phone or speaker. Those in your household on your shared Wi-Fi will also be prompted to join the Jam when they open Spotify.”

Then, the user who started the jam can invite others to join in one of three ways: “Turn on Bluetooth, then tap your phones together,” “Have your friends scan the QR code on your host screen,” or “Hit ‘share’ to send the link through social, text, SMS, and more.”

Once the Jam has been set up and multiple users are in, anybody in the Jam can “add songs to the queue, see who added which song, and receive recommendations, all from their own devices.” The Jam’s host has advanced control, though, as they can “determine who’s in the Jam, change the order of the tracks, or remove a song that doesn’t fit the vibe.”

Spotify also shared a promotional video showing off the feature, so check that out above and learn more about Jam here.

Lisa Cloud, the mother of Euphoria actor Angus Cloud, recalled the last conversation they had before his tragic death. “I love you, mama. You’re the best,” he said, she told People. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

Cloud was found dead in his family’s home in July, but his cause of death wasn’t revealed until last week. It was ruled “a lethal combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and more in what’s being ruled an accidental overdose,” according to TMZ. Lisa said, “It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing. He got tired from lack of oxygen. Everything just slowed down, and eventually his heart stopped and he went to sleep. But he didn’t kill himself.”

Euphoria co-star Zendaya described Cloud as feeling “like a little brother instantly; ironic because we played characters with the exact opposite dynamic. I’m lucky because I got to experience the most beautiful parts of him. I got to watch him create and I got to watch him discover the fact that he was an actor. A damn good one at that, and as many times as I would tell him or compliment his performance, I don’t think he ever truly believed it.”

A skate park is being built in Cloud’s honor. You can donate here.

In August, Taylor Swift delivered major news by announcing the arrival of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, a concert film chronicling her massive tour. The announcement indicated that the movie was scheduled for release in North American theaters on October 13. However, there was no information available at that time about an international release.

The news international Swifties have been waiting for has finally arrived, though, as this morning (September 26), the global release dates for the Eras Tour movie were announced, as well as how to get tickets.

Swift previously wrote of the movie, “The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon [smiling emoji] Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! […] Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged [heart hands emoji] 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk)”

Last month, Taylor Swift made a massive announcement, revealing that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, a concert film of her show-stopping tour, was hitting theaters.

It turns out the movie has a journey much like the actual Eras Tour, hitting North America before opening up to the rest of the world: Today (September 26), the international release date for the Eras Tour concert film was announced: October 13.

When announcing the North American dates, Swift wrote, “The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon [smiling emoji] Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America!

Everything in life can’t be explained away. Some things are just divinely ordered. Empress Of’s latest single, “Kiss Me,” featuring Rina Sawayama, might be an example of the stars’ alignment for this magical moment in music. What started after as a favorable business decision to tour together just sparked a creative collision that resulted in the betterment of pop music. To some, that statement could be taken as a ridiculous exaggeration, but fans of the pair would beg to differ.

In the India Harris-directed video is an angelic showing of the musicians’ outer worldly offerings. Empress and Rina embrace the light within themselves, manifesting into celestial beings roaming the world in search of connectivity.

“I’ll keep you up, I’ll dance around / Freeze time for you / If this is love, I’ll settle down / Just tell me to,” sings Empress.

Later in the song, Rina belts out, “Running around, I’ve never felt / So full of air (Yeah) / And when I breathe, I’m breathin’ life / Into our wings (Oh).”

They join in together on the chorus to harmonize, “Kiss me, kiss me slowly, slowly / Whisper, whisper, show me (Oh) / Show me (Show me) / That I’m your one and only / Kiss me, kiss me slowly, slowly / Whisper, whisper, show me / Show me (Show me).”

The track, which Valley Girl produced, is a divine showing of what pop can be when placed in the right hands.

Indie supergroup Boygenius, comprised of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker, made it clear that they do not have an open line of communication with The 1975’s Matty Healy. However, there’s one collective of people that the musicians share everything with, and that’s their fans. On Monday, September 25, the band took to their official X (formerly Twitter) page to share an announcement with supporters.

“‘The Rest’ EP out Fri, Oct 13th,” read the message. They also revealed the official artwork for their forthcoming release.

The Rest EP will only feature four songs, including four new tracks. Boygenius is working to maintain the allure surrounding their next surprise. However, as a reward for fans, they revealed the name of the forthcoming lead single. Track one of the project, which will be the initial offering, is named “Black Hole.” The names of other songs set to appear on The Rest remain behind lock and key.

Boygenius did not say when the single would be released. However, they told fans that limited edition yellow 10” vinyl and CDs would be available for purchase. Life on the road must have kickstarted the group’s creative energy; it’s been less than a year since the release of their last album, The Record.
