Rico Nasty Takes Over A Warehouse In Her Intense New ‘Son Of A Gun’ Video

Rico Nasty has been bringing it during the ongoing Lethal era, especially when it comes to her music videos. Visuals for songs like “Butterfly Kisses” and “Crash” have been high-production and visually crisp efforts, and she’s at it again with her new “Son Of A Gun” video that dropped today (May 29).

The visual makes great use of a simple, grungy warehouse setting, utilizing Rico’s natural energy and some creative camerawork and framing to squeeze every drop out of the environment and performance.

In a new interview with DIY, Rico said of the album, “I feel like I don’t pay attention to the pressure anymore. As long as you’re making art that you like, it doesn’t really matter how fast people think you should be making it, or if something is better than the last thing. Art is subjective. There’s always going to be an era that someone loves more than the other, so I stopped taking it so personally. […] I just know that I didn’t want to be something that I’m not. That was the biggest thing going into it. I had to put myself and my interests at the forefront. For this album, I didn’t tease music to see if people would like it. I liked it, so it’s gonna come out!”

‘Bring Her Back’ Directors Danny And Michael Philippou Made A Great Horror Movie Even For Non-Horror Fans

Danny_Michael_Philippou(1024x450)

No matter how many horror movies you’ve seen, Bring Her Back will make you squirm.

But for the jump-scare-averse crowd, don’t worry: The new A24 film from Talk To Me directors Danny and Michael Philippou isn’t just a horror movie. It’s also a character-study drama about a pair of siblings — Andy and Piper, played by Billy Barratt and Sora Wong — who move into a secluded home owned by their new foster mother Laura (the always-wonderful Sally Hawkins). She has another foster child, Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips), who is a first-ballot inductee into the Creepy Kids In Movies Hall Of Fame.

I recently spoke to the Philippou brothers about casting Bring Her Back, sound design, and chewing on knives. Just a note: I credited their answers together because a) I learned the hard way that it’s not easy telling their voices apart in an audio-only recording, and b) they so frequently and enthusiastically finished each other’s sentences, it seems like they share a brain, anyway.

So my first question is, where did you find Jonah Wren Phillips, the young actor who plays Oliver?

It was our casting agent. I put out a big net, and she brings in all these audition tapes. And it’s so weird when you see the character, when you see the actor, you know straight away that they’re right. There’s never two actors here, like, “Oh, it’s hard to pick between the two.” As soon as you see them, you know they’re right. So as soon as Jonah’s audition came in, we’re like, “Oh my God. This is literally the kid.” He’s perfect, and both of his parents are actors as well. So they helped get him comfortable. He’s incredible.

It’s — and I say this as a total compliment — one of the most f*cked-up child actor performances I’ve ever seen. He really blew me away. And speaking of great actors, how did you land Sally Hawkins?

She was at the top of the list. Like, there was a list that was made of 10 different actors that would be exciting for the role. And Sally was at the very top because we knew we wanted to have a really strong character actor, and because she’s never played a horror villain. Every single one of her performances, every single one of her characters, is completely different. The idea of her giving that skill set to this character was so perfect for us, but it felt impossible. We didn’t think we’d even have a meeting with her, but it got sent to her, and then she wanted to talk to us. We were afraid of a big Hollywood ego or something like that, but we had a Zoom with her, and she was the most amazing human being. And also had picked up all these nuances in the script that no one else had. She had thought about everything.

I appreciate any movie that doesn’t use obvious needle drops, so can you talk a bit about how you settled on the songs for Bring Her Back?

There’s an amazing music supervisor that we work with named Andrew Kotatko, and we always do temp music and temp edits when we’re putting things together. We knew we wanted there to be this upbeat sort of pop song that Laura’s blasting. She’s trying to get over her nerves so she plays loud music whenever she’s in an uncomfortable situation. What is the right track for that? When she’s in that unhinged moment and she’s lost her mind, [Kotatko] helped find this awesome Yoko Ono song, which is that really primal screaming and crying.

How hard was it, from a location scouting perspective, to find the house that so much of the movie takes place in?

We knew we wanted to find a property where the pool was at the heart of the house, and from every single window, there was a vantage point of the pool. And another thing was, it was in a valley, which was perfect because the sun would set earlier, so it wouldn’t be nighttime, which would help us create that overcast feel for the raining scenes. It was in Brown Hill Creek, like 30 minutes outside of Adelaide, and it was on this main road, part of public land, so people can actually walk through the front yard. It’s such a nightmare. You were doing these crazy scenes and there’s people just walking past, and you don’t want them to take videos or photos. It was strange seeing like this lady at 2 a.m. in the morning. She was just standing by the pool. She’s like, “I’m just looking at the pool. I’m allowed to do that.”

One of the MVPs of the movie is the sound design, in particular the sounds of chewing on a wooden table and chomping on a knife.

Emma Bortignon, she’s the sound editor. She’s incredible. She worked with us on Talk To Me as well. You don’t realize how much sound there is. We looked at the overall amount of layers: 750 layers of sound that’s happening in the movie. Air, wind, movements, footsteps.

Random people looking at the house.

As for the knife chewing, it wasn’t sounding right or sounding real, so I [Michael] came into recording one day, and Danny was just chewing on a knife and they were recording it. [Ed. note: they showed a video as proof.] And did the same with a table. So Emma, right now, if you look at her desk, there are teeth marks because Danny was trying to get that initial crunching of the bite.

I hope A24 has good dental insurance.

I’ll sacrifice my mouth a little bit.

How much of yourselves do you see in the siblings?

It was based on a friend and his little sister, and we filmed him take her to the set, and she felt her way through the different places and mapped it out herself. A lot of their relationship and their bond was based on those two. And then Billy was the same age as Sora was when he was in his first film, so he was able to mentor her. That was part of their bonding process, and it came across on the screen so incredibly.

I guess the one bit that’s sibling-related is when we were young, our sister, who is two years older than us, was jealous that we were getting attention when we were born, so she tried to poison us. She gave us Panadol. We had to get our stomachs pumped. She was such a young age, and she didn’t really know what she was doing, but she knew that you weren’t allowed to have that stuff, and she was angry.

Little did she know you’d be eating knives all these years later. Something I’m sure you hear all the time is people saying, “I don’t watch horror.” How would you convince someone like this to give Bring Her Back a shot?

I think by just letting them know that it’s a character-driven film and it feels like it exists as much as a drama film as it does a horror film. That’s always my favorite part of the process, to make the characters feel as lived in as possible. That they could hold their own in a drama film, that you could remove the whole horror elements and their arc would still fit. I would just pitch it like, “Yes, it’s a horror film, but also it’s a mother battling with loss and how she comes to terms with it — or that she doesn’t.”

Bring Her Back hits theaters on Friday, May 30.

Ava Max Is All In On Ava Max With Her Thumping New Single ‘Lovin Myself’

Ava Max has a new era loading (her “most fearless” yet, per a press release). In February, we got “Lost Your Faith,” and today (May 29), she’s back once again with a video for “Lovin Myself.”

Read between the lines and it’s easy to figure out what the song’s about as Max sings on the chorus, “I don’t need nobody, I’m lovin’ myself / Tonight it’s all about me, yeah, it’s good for my health / And I know how to please me, I don’t need no help / Nobody, nobody can lo-lo-love me like I’m lovin’ myself.”

Max told Rolling Stone of the song:

“This song came from a moment where I finally realized I didn’t need anyone else’s validation to feel whole. I’ve been through a lot of phases in my career, highs, lows, public scrutiny, private growth, and through all of that, I started to understand that the most important relationship I’ll ever have is the one I have with myself. The lyrics really sum up where I’m at emotionally and creatively right now.

‘Lovin Myself’ is the most honest I’ve been in a song in a long time. It came out of a period where I was really learning how to stand on my own, not just as an artist, but as a person. I realized that loving yourself isn’t some cliché, it’s a survival skill. This song is about choosing yourself, not in a selfish way, but in a healing way. I wanted it to feel like an anthem for anyone who’s learning to be their own anchor.”

Watch the “Lovin Myself” video above.

Where Will ‘The White Lotus’ Season 4 Take Place?

white-lotus-season-3-lg
HBO

Say what you want about The White Lotus (and people do), but the series gleefully remains divisive, which deserves some respect. The viewership has also remained high (with an HBO press release claiming over 6 million views within 24 hours for the most recent season finale), and Mike White is working on putting together logistics for the fourth season. Few people would debate that Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) would have made a fantastic crossover character if her tragic story hadn’t ended in a yin-and-yang themed bit of collateral damage. And I think we all know that Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) will not handle his loss of wealth and privilege well.

Speaking of which, Saxon wouldn’t be the worst crossover guy, right? Sure, he’s insufferable, but perhaps he can continue to experience “growth” in the long term while becoming a resort bartender. Just stay away from his protein shakes, and it’s all good. Yet there’s a more important consideration that surpasses any discussion of possible new or returning cast members.

Does The White Lotus Season 4 Have A Location Yet?

Nope. HBO has not made it official yet on where the next White Lotus resort visit will occur. Executive Vice President Francesca Orsi revealed that location scouting is ongoing, “so we’ll know soon.” She added, “I can’t really say where we’re going to land but chances are somewhere in Europe.”

Additionally, producer David Bernad pointed out to The Guardian that Mike White “doesn’t like the cold,” so we probably shouldn’t expect to see the show land in the Swiss Alps or at any Iceland spas.

Whereas White has suggested that visuals from the next resort might differ after visiting Hawaii, Sicily, and Thailand. A noted by Rolling Stone, he wishes “to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular.”

Wherever The White Lotus lands next, it’s a safe bet that Jon Gries’ Greg will be there, making murder eyes to distract from the (next) true killer.

Grand Cayman’s Is The It Girl Destination Of 2025: Where To Eat, Beach, Sleep, Party, And Repeat

emily_hart_hotels_we_love(1024x450) (1)
Uproxx/Emily Hart

Grand Cayman, the largest island in the Cayman Islands, is quickly becoming the “it” destination of the Caribbean, drawing celebrities and jet-setters with its perfect blend of luxury, style, and unforgettable experiences. Whether craving world-class cuisine, looking to lounge on stunning beaches, or seeking the ultimate nightlife scene, Grand Cayman has it all – and then some. I recently spent a few days on Grand Cayman, right in the middle of the action on Seven Mile Beach, and I am already looking forward to my return. Here is the inside scoop on this vibrant Caribbean hotspot just a short flight away.

HOW TO TRAVEL TO GRAND CAYMAN:

Traveling from the United States – specifically the eastern and midwestern US – to Grand Cayman is very convenient, with several airlines offering direct flights from major US cities to Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town. I opted to travel with a connection through Atlanta from Denver, but there is a non-stop available on Cayman Airlines that is just four and a half hours between you and paradise. From the East Coast, direct flights from New York are just over 4 hours, from Atlanta less than 3 hours, and from Miami just over an hour and a half – perfect for a weekend getaway.

WHERE TO STAY:

HOTEL INDIGO

Emily Hart

Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman is part of the Hotel Indigo chain, but it feels entirely unique and fully like a boutique property. The hotel, which just opened in summer 2024, mixes vibrant boho chic aesthetic with mid-century modern design, featuring subdued colors like warm dark teal in the hallways, contrasted with bright whites and soft flashes of orange-brown in the rooms. With 282 guest rooms, each designed to provide ocean or island views, the hotel – just steps away from the world-renowned Seven Mile Beach, is a great value for all the amenities, along with being an Instagrammers dream.

BOTANICA COTTAGES

Emily Hart

For a boutique, low-rise escape that blends local charm with luxury, look no further than Botanica Cottages. This family-owned property offers 14 thoughtfully designed cottages that cater to discerning travelers seeking an authentic island experience infused with heritage and culture. Located just steps from Seven Mile Beach, Botanica provides four distinct cottage styles, perfect for solo luxury lovers, families, and everyone in between. Each cottage comes equipped with amenities like full kitchens, laundry, beach gear, and, in some cases, private pools and outdoor showers. It’s the ultimate home away from home—if your home happens to be effortlessly stylish and undeniably upscale.

PALM HEIGHTS

Emily Hart

If you have the budget, then the place to see and be seen is undoubtedly Palm Heights. With visitors like Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Beiber and Chloë Sevigny, this luxury property is definitely the “It Girl” destination on the island. The impeccably stylish yet unpretentious hotel feels very “if-you-know-you-know”, with 52 spacious suites, each designed with a blend of contemporary and vintage aesthetics, and each with a view of the famed Seven Mile Beach. Rates vary from around $600 per night in the off-season to well over $1,500 a night during the winter months.

WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK:

Grand Cayman is often referred to as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, and for good reason. You have many options here with a unique combination of diverse influences, high-quality fresh ingredients, and a thriving dining scene that appeals to locals and travelers alike. Here are my recommendations.

BRUNCH AT AVE

Emily Hart

Brunch is a big deal in Grand Cayman, and whether you’re looking for an upscale dining experience or a laid-back local favorite, the island delivers.

My recommendation is Sunday brunch at Ave within the Kimpton Seafire. Held from 12-3 pm on Sundays, the vibe is a lively, upscale affair, packed with both visitors to the island and well-dressed locals who seemed to be there as much for the scene as for the food. The buffet had just about everything—classic breakfast dishes, a carvery station with roast meats, fresh sushi, an array of pastries, and plenty of tropical fruit. There always seemed to be a server nearby topping off mimosas and delivering cocktails from the bar, adding to the celebratory feel. It’s where people linger, chatting over second (or third) plates, making it just as much a social event as a meal.

TILLIES

Emily Hart

My most memorable dining experience in Grand Cayman was at Tillie’s, the iconic restaurant at Palm Heights. I visited on a Thursday for their “Burger, Lobster, and Bubbles” night—a perfectly indulgent trio that exceeded all expectations. The setting, nestled along the legendary Seven Mile Beach within the celebrity-favored Palm Heights hotel, struck the perfect balance of vibrant energy and effortless sophistication. The crowd was a stylish, well-connected mix, making it the ultimate spot to see and be seen. Paired with fresh, mouthwatering dishes, Tillie’s offers an unforgettable culinary experience.

POM POM

For rooftop views and a lively party atmosphere, head to Pom Pom, the newest hotspot in Grand Cayman’s dining scene. Perched atop Hotel Indigo, it’s surprisingly the island’s first and only rooftop bar—a fact that caught me off guard. The tropical-chic space, filled with lush greenery and a stylish crowd, makes it a must-visit for a leisurely, picture-perfect brunch, sunset cocktails, or a chic dinner with an ocean view. The shareable plates, with a Latin influence, were flavorful and well-executed, while the cocktails were just as impressive—vibrant, creative, and perfect for toasting to island life.

BONNY MOON BEACH CLUB

By day, Bonny Moon Beach Club is a stylish, laid-back spot perfect for sipping cocktails and enjoying light bites in a dreamy, boho setting on the iconic Seven Mile Beach. But as the sun sets, it transforms into one of Grand Cayman’s most electric nightlife destinations, with DJs, dancing, and an effortlessly cool crowd. One of the must-try indulgences? The “Happy Meal”—a playful yet luxe pairing of a towering stack of crispy fries and a bottle of champagne- the ultimate girl dinner.

UNION GRILL

Emily Hart

Union Grill is an intimate, upscale spot in Grand Cayman’s dining scene. Tucked away in Camana Bay, it has a sleek, modern design and a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The menu focuses on elevated fine dining with fresh ingredients – and even separate vegan and gluten-free menus. The cocktails here are a major highlight—crafted with precision and a sense of fun (I recommend the Little Red Dress). It’s the perfect spot to settle in for a long dinner with friends or grab a perfectly made drink at the bar. The polished but relaxed service makes it a go-to for a stylish and upscale but unpretentious night out.

LIBRARY BY THE SEA

Emily Hart

Just steps from the beach, Library by the Sea is a must-visit for a one-of-a-kind cocktail experience. Tucked inside the Kimpton Seafire, this intimate bar takes mixology to an art form, with drinks inspired by literature and storytelling (and an incredibly creative cocktail menu that simply must be seen to appreciate). As one of North America’s 50 Best Bars, it lives up to the hype with a menu that changes seasonally, featuring house-infused rums, exotic spices, and rare spirits. Sipping a thoughtfully crafted cocktail while watching the sunset over Seven Mile Beach made for a perfect, memorable night in a setting that felt both sophisticated and imaginative.

NEXT DOOR

Emily Hart

A chic craft cocktail bar located (as the name suggests) next to popular restaurant Agua in Camana Bay, Next Door offers a menu of inventive, handcrafted drinks and a substantial food menu (although I only went for the drinks). The ambiance is very cool yet unpretentious, the perfect dark and moody spot for drinks and Instagram pics. and The bartenders here are known for their expertise in mixology, so whether craving a refreshing rum cocktail or a bold whiskey creation, this is the place to unwind with a perfectly made drink, listen to a live DJ and maybe get on the dancefloor.

BATA BAR

Emily Hart

Bata Bar at Hotel Indigo is the perfect spot to spend a relaxing day poolside, with stunning ocean views and a chill atmosphere (save for the wild chickens!). I spent a rejuvenating afternoon here lounging by the pool, enjoying refreshing mocktails and delicious lobster and shrimp tacos—a perfect combination. The poolside bar serves up a variety of drinks, from signature cocktails to fresh, non-alcoholic options, all while you take in the gentle breeze and vibrant, stylish modern surroundings. It’s the ideal place to unwind, whether you’re cooling off in the pool or just soaking up the sun.

WHERE TO EXPLORE:

SPIRIT OF THE WEST SWIMMING HORSES

Emily Hart

I’ve traveled extensively, and had some unique experiences along the way, but swimming with horses through the crystal-clear waters of Grand Cayman with Spirit of the West was one I’ll never forget. After a scenic ride along the coastline, we ventured into the sea, and the horse and I were soon gliding through the waves together. The sensation of the cool water around me and the powerful movement of the horse felt incredibly freeing and peaceful—like nothing I’d ever done before. It’s an adventure that genuinely captures the island’s beauty in a way that stays with you long after the ride. Also – our guides were fantastic to spend a morning with.

SHOP LOCAL

Shopping local in Grand Cayman was a refreshing break from the usual souvenirs. I picked up a beautifully crafted candle and perfume from Ted Green, a brand known for its local, luxury Caribbean nature-inspired fragrances, and browsed the bold streetwear at Mutiny, which captures a different side of the island culture.

SEVEN MILE BEACH – THE OBVIOUS (BUT NECESSARY) STOP

You can’t visit Grand Cayman without spending time at Seven Mile Beach. The turquoise waters and powdery sand make it one of the most stunning beaches in the world. Whether you want to lounge at a beach club, try watersports, or just take in the sunset, this coastline stretch is iconic for a reason.

GARDEN CLUB

Emily Hart

Garden Club at Palm Heights is an ultra-exclusive wellness retreat that feels like a hidden paradise. Just steps from Seven Mile Beach, the sanctuary blends luxury with nature, featuring an outdoor hammam, infrared sauna, ice room, and tropical plunge pools. It’s the kind of place favored by those in the know—celebrities, hotel guests, and members only.

During my visit, I indulged in a facial, which left my skin glowing and rejuvenated. Honestly, just being in the locker rooms felt like an indulgent and transformative experience, proof that Palm Heights takes self-care to the next level. After my facial, I toured the private club, a serene oasis with lush greenery, sleek design, and a calm, exclusive atmosphere. Everything—from the wellness treatments to the Pilates studio and outdoor workout areas —felt intentional and luxurious, making it the perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat with an effortlessly chic vibe.

Beyoncé Did A Baby Sex Reveal For Two Parents-To-Be On Stage At The ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’

Beyoncé has become a big part of many people’s lives over the decades, but that’s especially true for one soon-to-be-born baby.

During a recent Cowboy Carter Tour show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (as People notes), Beyoncé spotted a sign asking her to take the attached envelope and reveal the baby’s sex. Beyoncé did and the paper inside revealed the baby is a “cowboy.” Beyoncé, who was all smiles, said, “It’s a boy! God bless you. Congratulations. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. Thank you.”

There are multiple videos of the moment on social media, so here’s the one from Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles.

Uproxx’s Philip Cosores attended a recent Beyoncé show, which he in his review described as “a performance that underscored her multi-act vision of this chapter of her career, that shines a light on Black contributions in genres where it’s often minimized.” He also noted, “But at the end of the day, one of the great artists of our time is out there playing music in the biggest of spaces on a tour that will only exist just this one time. Every moment of it is thoughtful and exhilarating, enough to win new fans and satisfy her beloved hive. There’s nothing to do but celebrate that, savor it, and tune all the other noise out.”

Lorde Unveils A Revealing And Powerful Video For ‘Man Of The Year’

As Lorde fans await the June release of Virgin, Lorde has offered another preview of the project today (May 29) with a video for “Man Of The Year.” The clip sees Lorde take off her shirt and cover her breasts with tape before dramatically dancing around a dirt-filled room.

Lorde previously told Rolling Stone that while writing the song, she attempted to visualize a version of herself “that was fully representative of how [her] gender felt in that moment.” She pictured herself in men’s jeans and with duct tape on her chest. Lorde said, “I went to the cupboard, and I got the tape out, and I did it to myself. I have this picture staring at myself. I was blonde [at the time]. It scared me what I saw. I didn’t understand it. But I felt something bursting out of me. It was crazy. It was something jagged. There was this violence to it.”

She also said during that interview, “[Chappell Roan] asked me this. She was like, ‘So, are you nonbinary now?’ And I was like, ‘I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.’ I know that’s not a very satisfying answer, but there’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.”

Watch the “Man Of The Year” video above.
