Billie Eilish is one of the biggest stars in the world, and as a consequence of that, fans and beyond know a fair amount about her personal life. One thing about Eilish that isn’t often discussed in public settings, though, is her love life. That is by design, as Eilish has a strong desire to keep her relationships private.
She said as much during a recent interview with Capital Breakfast host Roman Kemp. He asked if Eilish wants to keep her relationships private or if she wants to let that information be known. Eilish answered:
“I definitely want to keep that private. I’ve had relationships and kept them private, and even the ones that I’ve had, and the tiny amount that I’ve let the world see, I regret. So, I can’t even imagine… I think about it sometimes. I think about the people that have made their relationships OD public, like, you know what I’m talking about? And then they break up, and it’s like, ‘What if it goes bad?’ And then everybody has this whole opinion on your relationship that they have no idea about. It’s very much not something I’m interested in.”

Despite living three blocks away, Japanese Breakfast‘s Michelle Zauner and Crying’s Ryan Galloway haven’t seen each other since the beginning of quarantine. Even still, the two got together digitally and formed a new quarantine-bred side project, Bumper. On Thursday, Bumper shared their debut EP Pop Songs 2020, which features shimmering melodies and funk-forward production.
In an interview with Rolling Stone about the release, Zauner said she originally reached out to Galloway to lend a hand on Japanese Breakfast’s upcoming album but instead formed the side project Bumper:
“I’ve always really liked Crying and I think Ryan as a talent is so underrated. I knew that he was such a guitar wizard and his influences are super bizarre, in my world anyway. And I really appreciate that. For this new [Japanese Breakfast] record, I just wanted to work with people that really inspired me creatively. We worked together and made something that was totally out of the realm of what I would usually make. I realized that Ryan had this wealth of material that he was just sitting on.”
Adding to Zauner’s statement, Galloway explained how their collaboration process worked:
“Basically, her songs were made and were not obnoxious, and then I just added that element to it. I also think personality-wise, both of us are very loud. When Michelle came over and we figured out what I can add to the Japanese Breakfast song, both of us were at full volume the whole time. It also carries over throughout this project. There’s a specific part in a song where I added a timpani part, and Michelle was like, ‘Sounds like a dumpster falling over. It’s awful.’ I think it’s fun to accept that way of criticism, and bounce back and forth and be allowed to say, ‘Hey, that sucks.’ Because typically, I think that’s how more hardcore musicians tend to communicate. But for indie rock, it’s not usually like that.”

Mulan becomes the latest live action remake of Disney animated canon. When The Lion King came out last year there was a lot of talk about if it was necessary or not (the overwhelming majority of movies aren’t “necessary” so I guess the answer is “probably not”) even though I wound up quite enjoying it. (Though, a big reason why I enjoyed The Lion King is because I wound up at a “family” screening, which was filled with children, instead of the normal critics screening. And their enjoyment was infectious. Add that to the list of why I miss movie theaters, even though there’s no way I’d go to one right now.) But I at least sort of get the argument that it was too faithful to the source material, so what’s the point if it’s not going to be reimagined at all? (Well, other than the $1.6 billion It made, which certainly classifies as “a point.”)
Unlike The Lion King, Niki Caro’s Mulan is a more reimagined version of the 1998 original film. The original film was rated G, is filled with music, and is truly something that can be defined as a family film. This new version has no musical performances, is rated PG-13 (and earns that rating) and is more aimed at the “young adult” market. (Two friends of mine asked if it would be suitable for their children. When asked about a four-year old, I said, “no.” When asked about a ten-year-old, I said, “probably.”) There are some pretty intense battle scenes for a “family” movie where our hero, Mulan (Liu Yifei), stabs and impales a few villains. It’s a bloodless fight, but still.
After a brazen attack by enemy forces, the local government declares each family must provide one male to fight in the army to defend against these attacks. Hua Xiu (Tzi Ma) was once a great warrior, but he’s getting old and has an injured leg, but he also has two daughters, so he will do his duty and fight. His oldest daughter, Mulan, steals his battle gear and shows up instead, disguising herself (not very convincingly, but whatever) as a man and joins the fight. She fights bravely and saves her battalion, but her ruse (not surprisingly) is discovered and she’s banished. And that’s where Mulan’s adventures come to a close as the end credits roll. (That last sentence is a lie.)
As I mentioned before, I wouldn’t call Mulan ultra-violent by any means, at least compared to other PG-13 movies. But if you’re a big fan of the original movie and want to show this to someone on the younger side, you may want to judge for yourself first. There are scenes of swords, spears, and arrows all impaling bad people in the chest. Again, the tone here seems to be aimed at the young adult market.
But I guess the big question here is, “is Mulan worth $30?” Well, first, that’s between you and your god. I will say I wound up enjoying this film quite a bit, and even more than I thought I would. More than I thought I would because the battle scenes are so well choreographed and performed. Instead of muddled CGI, everything is crisp and clear and very well done. And in these scenes Mulan borrows a bit from films like The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
But $30 is an interesting price point for something like this and can be looked at a few different ways. On one hand, a person has access to an almost endless supply of classic films they’ve probably never seen that, at worst, might cost $3.99 to rent. So upping that to $30 is a big jump. But it is a new movie. And a big new movie at that. And here in New York City at least, between a ticket, a soda, and some sort of food item, I’ve spent $30 on a movie plenty of times. So that price, in that respect, doesn’t seem too unreasonable, even by yourself.
But if a person has a family, this starts to feel like a bargain. A big thing to me when discussing these price points is, “do I get to own the movie or not?” I’ve said in the past I’d pay $40 to watch Tenet at home right now as long as I got some promise of a permanent digital file down the line without having to purchase it again. And with Mulan you do get that. As long as you subscribe to Disney+, Mulan is forever a part of your library. If a person has a family and members of that family want to watch it a few times, it’s really a bargain. So, $30 for a brand new movie that was going to be a blockbuster in theaters, and you don’t lose access to the movie, this all seems about right to me. But, your mileage may vary. But, for me (no, I didn’t have to pay for it, so keep that in mind), it felt legitimately fun to watch. It wasn’t quite the feeling you get in a theater, but it just felt good to watch a new huge would-have-been-a-blockbuster movie, even at home.
Earlier this year, it appeared things were looking up for Tory Lanez. Between getting out of his deal, Quarantine Radio‘s success, and a string of well-received mixtapes and single features, 2020 looked like Tory’s year. However, the Torontonian has seemingly torpedoed the progress he made earlier in the year with Chixtape 5 and The New Toronto 3. Forbes reports that streams for Tory Lanez’s music have dropped precipitously in the wake of his recent alleged abuse of Megan Thee Stallion, with a 40% decrease in streams since the Texan star accused him of shooting her in both feet.
While Megan herself faced a stiff backlash from Tory’s supporters and other men in the music industry who expressed doubt and disbelief in her story — even as it was being reported in real-time by the eerily accurate TMZ — Tory had emerged relatively unscathed until Megan finally broke her silence via an Instagram livestream. Before that, she’d only made vague references to the incident, only admitting at first that she’d been the victim of “a crime,” that the incident was traumatic, and that she didn’t appreciate the jokes being made at her expense.
The Glorias adapts Gloria Steinem’s 2015 memoir, My Life On The Road, and the film will soon arrive with not one Gloria Steinem, or even two, but five Glorias. That’s a lot of Glorias, and the two foremost incarnations of the feminist firebrand will be played by Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander during (as the book suggests) her Greyhound bus travels. Glorias will appear onscreen together. They’ll have conversations. They’re reclaiming the “those crazy women” label for themselves under the direction of Julie Taymor (Frida), who’s clearly operating again here under a labor of love with what promises to be an inventive and nontraditional biopic approach.
Following a Sundance debut and largely positive reviews, the movie’s coming to Amazon Prime (and VOD) on September 30, by way of Roadside Attractions and LD Entertainment. The film also features a busload of brilliant actresses in other activist roles, including Kimberly Guerrero as Wilma Mankiller (“I earned it,” she says of her surname), Janelle Monae as Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Bette Midler as Bella Abzug, and Lorraine Toussaint Flo Kennedy. The film will trace Steinem’s legacy all the way from her 1940s Ohio childhood to her founding of Ms. magazine to her 1960s women’s liberation movement leadership and beyond. From the Sundance Institute:
Julie Taymor brings her signature inventiveness and audacity to craft a complex tapestry of one of the most iconic and legendary figures of modern history, based on Steinem’s own memoir My Life on the Road. Remarkable performances by Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander steer an engaging cast with strong supporting turns from Janelle Monáe and Bette Midler. Taymor makes her own rules in this dazzling ode to self-reflection, exploring the importance of forging your own path and embracing the challenge of the open road.
The Glorias is coming to Amazon Prime and VOD on September 30.
Mariah Carey’s upcoming memoir is making headlines a month out from its release, both for what it includes and what it doesn’t, like words about Eminem. As far of things that did make it into the book, though, there are plenty of goodies there. For example, Carey has confirmed that, as has been rumored, a pair of her classic songs are about her romance with Derek Jeter.
When Carey met Jeter at a dinner party, she was near the end of her rocky marriage with music mogul Tommy Mottola. She said in a Vulture interview that “The Roof,” from her 1997 album Butterfly, is about her first kiss with Jeter on the roof of his apartment building. When asked if she remembers the moment, she responded, “Of course I do! I can never forget that moment. I mean, it’s not like it was some intensely deep, intellectually stimulating — again, it was a great moment, and it happened in a divine way because it helped me get past living there, in Sing Sing, under those rules and regulations.”
She also admitted that another song from the same album, “My All,” is about “risking her life to have a night with Jeter in Puerto Rico,” as Vulture cites the singer as saying.
Carey sings on the chorus of “The Roof,” “Every time I feel the need / I envision you caressing me / And go back in time / To relive the splendor of you and I / On the rooftop that rainy night.” She also sings in the opening verse of “My All,” “I am thinking of you / In my sleepless solitude tonight / If it’s wrong to love you / Then my heart just won’t let me be right / ‘Cause I’ve drowned in you / And I won’t pull through / Without you by my side.”
Beastie Boys have been in the process of celebrating their impressive legacy of late, releasing a documentary about their careers and a nostalgic book — in both traditional and audio forms — but they aren’t done there. Today, the group announced they would also be releasing a new “greatest hits” compilation, Beastie Boys Music, spanning their long history from 1986’s License To Ill to 2011’s Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2.
That means songs like “Paul Revere,” “Fight For Your Right,” “Sabotage,” “Brass Monkey,” “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” and “Intergalactic” will all appear in one place for the first time in a long time, with both a digital and physical release. The physical edition will come as both a CD and a two-LP vinyl set. Meanwhile, their documentary, Beastie Boys Story is nominated for five Emmys while the group’s surviving memebers are set to feature on Public Enemy’s first Def Jam release in 25 years, What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down?.

Beastie Boys Music is due 10/23 via UME. Pre-save it here.
It’s crazy to think that in just five years, the Beyond and Impossible Burgers have gone from mere eco-conscious curiosities to fast food menu staples as the two brands continue to fight for dominance in the American fast-food space. In 2020, Beyond Meat has developed a considerable edge over Impossible Foods as the brand has become to go-to meat 2.0 choice of the majority of chains, but from a flavor standpoint?
We’re a little more convinced of Impossible’s meat-mimicking power over Beyond’s tech. Though we fully recognize that that is totally in the hands of who is preparing the thing. For instance, Umami Burger’s Impossible Burger and the Impossible Whopper couldn’t taste more different. That’s good news because both Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are now more available at grocery stores than they’ve ever been, allowing you to put your own culinary stamp on a plant-based burger if fast food isn’t your thing.
Regardless, we’ve got you covered if you’re enjoying more meals at home (due to COVID-19, this is all of us) with an updated list of all the markets and online stores, as well as nationwide fast-food joints holding both Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Now let’s get out there and eat some plants!
A&W’s Beyond Burger was once a Canadian exclusive but is now available in the states at select locations nationwide. It’s probably not the tastiest Beyond Burger, but hey, now you can swig down some quality root beer while you eat a plant-based burger, and really, what more can you ask for?
Bareburger has a whole mess of Beyond Burgers and is by far the only burger chain on this list that is giving plant-based meat the spotlight it deserves. That standouts are The Original, a quarter-pound burger with American cheese, onions, pickles, and special sauce. The Golden State features gouda, green leaf lettuce, red onions, organic ketchup, and tomatoes. The Duchess has gouda, caramelized onions, wild mushrooms, baby kale, tomatoes, and organic garlic aioli. Then there are five other burgers you can dive into.
Bareburger is the burger joint to hit up for all your well-dressed plant-based needs.
Pizza is probably the easiest food to eat while totally avoiding meat. So, while we certainly didn’t need a vegan spicy chorizo topping option at Blaze Pizza, we’ll take it!
BurgerFi offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to have Beyond Meat in any of their burgers or a BurgerFi Veggie Patty for those looking for a more earthy taste. BurgerFi also offers Angus and Wagyu beef patties, in case you feel like dipping into the dark side for a bit.
Ahh, the Impossible Whopper. Not only have we tasted this thing, but we’ve examined how it stacks up against its meat counterpart, the Original Burger King Whopper. Our verdict was that the burgers were essentially interchangeable. So if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, this is an easy pick for any Burger King fan.
Carl’s Jr. was one of the first big chains to embrace Beyond Meat with their Beyond Famous Star and Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger. Since those early days, Carl’s Jr. has also put together a Beyond Sausage Burrito and Beyond Sausage Egg and Cheese, making sure all your plant-based needs are covered through breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Just when you thought the Cheesecake Factory menu was overdone, they decided to add yet another item to their “A Song of Ice and Fire” sized list of offerings. Are Game of Thrones references officially dated? The Cheesecake Factory Impossible Burger has been sold nationwide since August of 2018. Why they didn’t take this opportunity to introduce the Impossible Meatcake we’ll never understand. But we’re holding our breath in anticipation!
Chronic Taco has a Beyond Beef Crumble that can be ordered in any one of their tacos, burritos, or bowls. They also serve a potato taco which is a delicious and traditional Mexican-food option that edges out the Beyond in my humble opinion. The Beyond Beef Crumble is vegan-friendly, gluten and soy-free, and packs a whopping 55 grams of protein and only 3 grams of fat. Now, you’ll just have to convince your friends to eat at a place called Chronic Taco.
Del Taco now serves Beyond Meat tacos at all 580 of their locations across the country. We’ve tried it. It certainly tastes meat-ish! Order a taco, burrito, or nachos and substitute Beyond Meat for real meat. Pro-tip: Order a Beyond Meat soft taco, fill that baby up with some crinkle-cut fries and you’ve got yourself a flavor bomb!
Disney World serves “grilled vegetarian burgers” park-wide and at several restaurants operating on the premises. Whether you’re grabbing an Impossible burger at the House of Blues or a more generic variation somewhere in the Epcot Center, the world of Disney has got us covered in terms of plant-based burgers. They’ll probably be the most expensive plant-based burgers you’ll ever buy, which will pair nicely with your expensive churro.
Doghaus saw the war plant-based meat wars and decided, “Nah, we ain’t picking sides.” As far as we can tell, Doghaus is the only chain to serve both meat 2.0 brands, thanks to their Impossible Burger and Beyond Sausage Dog. It’s the best of both worlds in the Doghaus.
Originally a Manhattan exclusive, the Dunkin’ Beyond Sausage breakfast sandwich is now available nationwide. It looks almost identical to a regular breakfast sausage sandwich, only the meat is made from plants! How neat. Accompanying the Beyond Sausage patty are egg and aged white cheddar cheese, so, sorry vegans!
If you’re a big Fatburger fan, you probably already know that they’re selling an Impossible Fatburger. The Impossible Fatburger is currently available at every Fatburger location in America with some locations even carrying vegan Daiya cheese. Bump that Daiya access to all locations Fatburger and you may just win the plant-based burger war!
Since December of last year, the Hard Rock Cafe has been serving the Impossible Burger at all 40 company-owned locations in the United States. What tastes better than an Impossible Burger with double cheese and a giant fried onion ring inside of it? Don’t answer that, because the answer is “a beef burger with double cheese and a giant friend onion ring.” But the planet is in trouble, so it might not be a bad idea to start thinking of ways you can help.
Little Caesars is trying out a Supreme Pizza made in collaboration with Impossible Meats. The Impossible Supreme Pizza consists of caramelized onions, mushrooms, green pepper, and Impossible Sausage, which the meat 2.0 company made especially for Little Caesars.
Blaze Pizza, take note, this is how you go meatless!
This has yet to roll out nationwide, but Little Caesars CEO David Scrivano indicated to Cheddar that a nationwide rollout is likely after the test markets responded well. Currently, this is only available at test markets in Yakima, Washington, Fort Meyers, Florida, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Texas and California Mediterranean chain restaurant Luna Grill has a Beyond Burger served with grilled red onions, shredded kale, diced tomatoes, and a mouth-water spicy feta cheese sauce. Delicious!
Okay, what gives McDonald’s? Americans often gaze at the international menu offerings from McDonald’s with envy but this is just taking it too far. The Big Vegan TS is currently only available in the fast-food chain’s German market with no plans to expand to the US. While that’s pretty disappointing, we doubt it means we’ll never get a meat 2.0 Big Mac stateside, considering the Big Vegan TS is manufactured by Nestlé which leaves the door wide open for Impossible or Beyond Meats to come sweeping in to rescue us.
Qdoba now sells Impossible Tacos and Bowls at all 730 of its locations. I’d argue that the meat 2.0 tacos are actually considerably better than the burgers. So if you’ve been burned by an Impossible or Beyond burger in the past, consider giving the tacos a try.
Red Robin first introduced their Impossible Burger on April Fools’ Day of this year. Why any company does anything on April Fools’ Day is beyond us, but the Red Robin Impossible Burger is no joke. The best part about the chain’s approach is that you could swap in the Impossible Burger patty to any of Red Robin’s gourmet burgers. That’s dope and an approach we’d like to see more chains take up in regards to the meat substitute.
The Shake Shack ’Shroom Burger consists of a portobello mushroom cap with Muenster and cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and Shack Sauce. While it’s not quite an Impossible or Beyond meat, it still deserves some mention. The ‘Shroom Burger is by no means bad, they’re actually pretty tasty but they don’t exactly satiate that meat craving like an Impossible or Beyond Burger might. Still, Mushrooms do have a meaty texture with lots of umami, so it’s almost there.
Shake Shack also has a Veggie burger that is exclusive through their app but only from limited locations. So we aren’t counting it. Get it together Shake Shack!
The Beyond Meatball Marinara Sub has everything you love about the classic Subway sandwich only with a ball of plant-based meat instead of, you know, meat. Packed with 24 grams of protein per six inches, the Beyond Meatball Marinara Sub will leave you just as satisfied as it’s hearty meatball counterpart, all while slightly reducing your own carbon footprint. That’s a win-win.
Since January 2018 people have been “thanking God” that TGI Fridays has a Beyond Burger. Bad joke? Just stop your criticism and eat your Beyond burger. At over 469 participating locations nationwide, you could substitute the beef patty in any TGI Fridays burger for Beyond Meat.
Umami Burger was one of the first burger spots to offer up an Impossible Burger and the small chain currently has three different iterations of the burger on their menu. With the Impossible Trufflemaker, you get an all-vegan bun, miso mustard sauce, charred green chili salsa, truffle fondue, truffle aioli, port wine, a truffle glaze, curly lettuce, and tomato. If that doesn’t make your mouth water and fill you with ideas of eating way less meat, we don’t know what will.
Or perhaps the Impossible Vegan BBQ is more your speed, with an espresso rub, smokey bbq sauce, and thinly sliced jalapeño with the aforementioned miso mustard and charred green chili salsa. With ingredients like that the meat doesn’t even matter!
If you’re already living a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, you probably already know all about Veggie Grill. If you’re new or interested in becoming vegan or vegetarian, welcome to your new McDonald’s. Veggie Grill is a fast-casual vegan restaurant, their entire menu is vegan friendly and they have plenty of plant-based meat products on their menu, from Beyond Cheesesteak Sandwiches to chopped Chickin’ salads.
Wahl Burger, the only burger chain partly owned by a member of the Funky Bunch, proudly serves a quarter-pound Impossible Burger with smoked cheddar cheese, lettuce, caramelized onions, Paul’s signature Wahl sauce, and some housemade chili-spiced tomatoes. It’s such a good vibration, it’s such a sweet sensation.
White Castle has been selling an Impossible version of their 2×2 inch slider at participating locations nationwide for about a year now. Since every stoner’s favorite East Coast burger chain was such an early adopter of Impossible, it has given the company some time to start experimenting with the slider. This past April, White Castle introduced the BBQ Impossible Slider, and though we haven’t had one we imagine it’s now even harder for meat 2.0 skeptics to tell the difference.
America’s favorite sports bar chain, Yard House, is home to the unimaginatively named “Beyond Burger,” featuring pickles, vegan mozzarella, red onions, tomato, arugula, smashed avocado, and a slaw made from mixed field greens tossed in balsamic vinaigrette atop a fresh-baked onion bun. Nice call on the arugula over something like butter lettuce, but we’re still feeling salty over the name.
All The Markets Selling Beyond and Impossible Meat
If you love yourself a plant-based burger so much that you’re looking to swap out meat for a Beyond or Impossible product permanently, you’ll be pleased to know that they have this stuff in markets too! With sausage, chicken, and taco meat plant-based products, swapping out meat for something altogether better for the environment is now easier than ever.
In terms of availability, Beyond is absolutely mopping the floor with Impossible, with availability at 26 grocery stores chains across the country compared to Impossible’s presence in just three. This is a large disparity that’ll leave Impossible fans vulnerable to being swooped up by Beyond’s convenience. Step it up Impossible Foods!
Bobby Sessions has been leading his own revolution for the past two years. The Dallas native has already delivered two installations in RVLTN series and currently preparing the release of the third EP in the series. Days after sharing the upcoming EP’s third single, “Reparations,” Sessions returns with the video for the song. Heading to a small rural community, Sessions preaches about ownership within the Black community. “He don’t own not a single thing / White man this, White man that,” he raps on the song. “Gucci down from head to toe / White man kicks, White man hat.”
The name Bobby Sessions may be familiar to some because the Dallas native landed a writing credit on fellow Texan Megan Thee Stallion’s chart-topping single, “Savage.” However, Sessions’ career dates back a few years with the rapper signing to Def Jam in 2018. Following the deal, Sessions shared the first installation in the RVLTN series with RVLTN (Chapter 1): The Divided States of AmeriKKKa, a project that also sported a feature from Killer Mike. Later that year, he returned with the series’ second installation RVLTN (Chapter 2): The Art Of Resistance. On a more recent note, Sessions shared his latest EP, The Revolution, which spawned six tracks and features from Keite Young and ZYAH.
Press play on the “Reparations” video above.
RVLTN 3: The Price of Freedom is out 09/11 via Def Jam.
When an actor or actress describes themselves as feeling like a “prisoner” to a television show, it’s usually because they have or want a successful movie career, like when Hustlers and Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu tweeted that she was “so upset right now that I’m literally crying” when Fresh Off the Boat was renewed for a sixth season. Riverdale‘s Lili Reinhart has a different reason for feeling like a “prisoner,” though.
In an interview with Nylon, Reinhart (who was also in Hustlers with Wu) was candid about having to return to the Riverdale set in Canada while the coronavirus is still killing thousands every week. She and the rest of the cast have to finish shooting the final three episodes of season four (“Five months later, we’re all going to be tan, maybe a little bit thicker. I certainly am”) before jumping straight into season five:
It means that once she gets back to Vancouver and quarantines for two weeks, she’ll be required to stay there, with no breaks, until Christmas. Reinhart, understandably, is conflicted about the return. “I genuinely feel like a prisoner, going back to work, because I cannot leave Canada. That doesn’t feel good. You can’t go home for Thanksgiving, can’t visit your family. No one can come visit you unless they quarantine for two weeks. It just feels f*cked.”
Reinhart had a better time starring in Chemical Hearts, her popular Netflix movie that she also produced. “I loved every second of being an executive producer,” she said. “I had one of the best times of my life filming it, because I was so happy and in my element working on something that I was so passionate about, and so invested in.” Unlike filming another season of the Hot Archie show in Canada during a pandemic in the winter.
