Lana Del Rey took the stage at Brazil’s MITA Festival over the weekend, which culminated in a truly hilarious moment after the pop star lost one of her prized possessions. It marked the singer’s first live show in about three years — so viral moments were bound to happen.

During Del Rey’s performance of “Norman F*cking Rockwell,” she started telling the crew that her vape was missing and attempted to look for it on the stage.

“And also if you see my vape on stage, can you find my vape on stage?” she said.

In the video, Del Rey then hears from someone at the front of the crowd who might have found it.

“You did? Where, though? Oh, all the way in the pit?” she asked, walking closer to the start of the stage. Eventually, she gives up, chalking it up to a simple “f*ck it” and walks back to her mark to continue the set.

According to Page Six, a similar loss for Del Rey had happened during a 2019 show, where she lost it in Portland and uttered a similar “I give up” phrase. Except, she then performed “Video Games.”

Check out the video of Lana Del Rey looking for her vape again above.

The Succession series finale ended with, according to Brian Grubb’s definitive Report Card, failing grades (or close) for most of the characters. The audience won, however, with the “Meal Fit For A King,” which Jeremy Strong apparently drank because he’s so method, but overall, the end was bleak for the Roy siblings. Tom became CEO, Shiv essentially became her mother, and Kendall was left ominously staring at the water, as he does.

Roman, however? His outcome felt the most ambiguous, and as Brian Grubb read it, “He, more than his other siblings, seems free now, with all of that business behind him.” Also, he really enjoyed sipping that martini, so what was he possibly thinking in that moment? Plenty of people couldn’t get past the fact that Roman was drinking Gerri’s drink of choice and smiling, presumably while thinking of her. This is an awfully bizarre (and probably fitting for him) thing to do after doing some pretty terrible things to her, including firing Gerri after the whole d*ck pics fiasco. That had turned into a real nightmare for Gerri along the way, but she’s supposedly getting paid, so good for her.

As for J. Smith-Cameron, she decided to tweet what a lot of people were thinking about the Martini Moment: “My ex wants me back”

Was that a cosign? Officially, no: “( is how some people interpreted this)”

Still, plenty of people either wanted to believe or full-on did believe, because of that particular smile on Roman’s face.

I think they’re spot-on about what Roman was pondering, but damn, I hope Gerri never looks back at him.

One thing seems pretty certain though: J. Smith-Cameron has hopped into the “succession fandom” realm, too.

Succession is available to stream in full on Max.

The past year-plus has been tough for Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Of course, drummer Taylor Hawkins passed away in early 2022. Furthermore, while no official announcement has been made and no obituary has surfaced, some fans say Dave’s daughter Violet shared the news about the death of Virginia Hanlon Grohl, Dave’s mother, on Instagram Live. The band’s upcoming album, But Here We Are, is dedicated to both Hawkins and Virginia.

But Here We Are is set to drop in a few days and ahead of then, the band has shared a new single, “The Teacher.” It’s a ten-minute, multi-section rock epic that goes through a number of tempos and moods. The lyrics are pained: In the latter half of the song, Grohl repeats, “Try and make good with the air that’s left / Counting every minute / Living breath by breath / By breath, by breath, by breath / By breath, by breath.” The track concludes with Grohl repeating, “Goodbye.”

Meanwhile, new Foo Fighters touring drummer Josh Freese recently shared his thoughts about joining the band. The band also gave him a musical introduction via covers of bands he’s performed with.

Watch the video for “The Teacher” above.

If you wanted to dress up like your favorite Succession character this Halloween, maybe try Barbie and Ken instead? The outfits on the HBO series are, as you might expect, absurdly expensive. Kendall’s gray coat that he wears while having his “hello darkness, my old friend” moment in the series finale? $8,895. Shiv’s blazer and pants combo? That’ll set you back $1,795 and $995, respectively. Even Lukas’ restrained sweatshirt is $300.

There is one outfit from the finale even non-billionaires can afford, however.

The blue striped tee that a “fragile” Roman wears while seeking refuge at his mom’s house is only $13.96 at Walmart, assuming you can find one. “The T-shirt worn by Roman retails at $13.96 and is now sold out in most sizes on the Walmart website,” according to the Independent. “However, the retail giant still carries a pale pink version with stripes in a different color.” If you want to look for the shirt in person, check the kid’s section.

“Roman is the most casual uniformed guy on the planet,” Succession costume designer told Motion Pictures about Roman’s outfits. “He is just moving through the room. He has no agenda at all with anyone; he’s simply his own beast. We have a closet for Roman, and Kieran [Culkin] will rummage through it for hours. He’s very personal in selecting, and that takes a lot of time.”

It’s a shame Succession is over. I’d love to see Roman in this Stitch shirt.

In recent weeks, Phoebe Bridgers has had a pretty sweet gig: opening for Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour. This past weekend’s shows in New Jersey were Bridgers last ones on the tour, so Swift took some time to reflect on the time she got to spend with Bridgers.

Sharing a gallery of photos from the Jersey concerts on social media, Swift wrote, “Yeahhhh so the last three nights were a dreamscape and totally overwhelming. I love every single one of you who came to those 3 shows in Jersey, all 217,625 of you.[grinning squinting emoji] @phoebe_bridgers, I’ll miss you out here my dude, thanks for the duets and the dressing room heart to hearts [hearts emoji]. I was so excited to welcome @OwennMusic to the Eras Tour! And @icespicee_ i love youuuu and I’m still buzzing from getting to sing with you all three nights! This tour has become my entire personality. See you soon Chicago!”

The good news for Bridgers fans is that despite leaving The Eras Tour, she’s immediately hopping back on the road: Boygenius has a tour that kicks off in just a few days on June 2 and runs through early August. These shows have an awesome lineup of openers that includes Bartees Strange, Broken Social Scene, Carly Rae Jepsen, Claud, and Illuminati Hotties.

Last week, Travis Scott shared that he’s looking forward to his plans after he retired from music. In the meantime, the “Mafia” rapper is determined to share his highly anticipated album, Utopia, with fans.

The entertainer is making his rounds as he previews the project with those he considers tastemakers. During his recent showcase at Lilly’s Club, Scott teased a new song with Bad Bunny. Ironically enough, the international music star is rumored to be romantically linked to model Kendall Jenner. Kendall is the older sister of Scott’s ex-partner Kylie Jenner, with whom he shares two children.

In the video clip shared on social media, several notable celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Neymar, Mbappé, and Hamilton, dropped by to support the musician.

Although Scott hasn’t revealed the album’s official release date or tracklist, fans believe the unreleased track will appear on Utopia.
As for what the producer has shared regarding the project when speaking with Fox 26’s sports director Mark Berman, Scott said, “It’s on the way now, Mark.”

Later adding, “I had to come down and play Utopia for the [Houston Astros] boys in the locker room. I had to get them right for the game. Finished and mastered, Mark. You know how we do, Mark. from the clubhouse to the stu.”

According to Beyoncé’s latest single, “America Has A Problem,” and it might’ve started in Philadelphia. The city’s most prominent names in hip-hop, Meek Mill and DJ Drama, are engaged in a tense beef.

The “Dreams & Nightmares” rapper didn’t take too kindly to DJ Drama, declaring that Drake and Lil Wayne are “closer to being the Jay Z” of their era than Meek is. However, in a series of tweets, Meek shared that the producer’s comments on The Jay Hill Podcast wasn’t the only thing that led to the falling out.

“DJ Drama is a goofy over these hoes, LOL. He won’t speak good about me. I tore him up in [Atlanta]. I asked Drama why he is always speaking down on me with a few other words, too told him he’s a goofy,” said the entertainer. Adding, “I also hit him when he tried to compare ‘Dreams & Nightmares’ to ‘I Wanna Rock’ and downplay me. Don’t let these industry lames use you. They don’t really even like you, SMH LOL.”

In an earlier tweet, Meek alleges that DJ Drama attempted to leverage his likeliness for a promotional opportunity with NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.

Users continued to fan the flames requesting that the musician release a diss track, to which Meek replied, “I don’t want his name living forever. LOL. He is dying out.”

The Miami Heat will head out to Denver, where a very well-rested Nuggets team awaits, for the NBA Finals after blowing the doors off of the Celtics in Boston, 103-84, on Monday night in a stunning Game 7 performance.

It took 26 seconds for the Celtics to see disaster strike, as Jayson Tatum rolled his left ankle on the first possession of the game when he landed on Gabe Vincent’s foot on a floater while drawing a foul. Tatum would stay in the game, but was clearly not right as he could not move laterally and lacked much of any burst on the offensive end, scoring just 14 points on 5-of-13 shooting. It took some time for the Heat to take advantage of Boston’s star being hobbled, as the two teams engaged in an early rock fight, but behind yet another sensational performance from Caleb Martin and continued strong three-point shooting as a team, they steadily pulled away to an 11-point halftime lead.

The Celtics, meanwhile, continued their horrific shooting from long range, missing their first 11 three-point attempts and finishing the night 9-of-42 (one game after winning despite a 7-of-35 effort). Miami’s defense deserves a ton of credit for walling off the rim, particularly Bam Adebayo’s effort on switches to keep Boston’s wings in front of him in the pick-and-roll game. Even so, the Boston offense’s stagnation with Tatum unable to be at full strength was tough to watch, with Jaylen Brown forcing it with an 8-of-23 shooting night, matching his made field goal total with his turnover total (8), and the only player seemingly up for the challenge being Derrick White, although he eventually cooled off and had to battle his own knee injury.

On the other side, it was the Caleb Martin show, as he continued his phenomenal series by scoring 26 points (11-of-16 shooting) and pulling down 10 rebounds, hitting seemingly every big shot to keep the Heat comfortably in front in the third quarter as Boston tried to mount a comeback.

Jimmy Butler also stepped up in a big way following his Game 6 struggles, leading all scorers with 28 points (12-of-28 shooting) and, after another rough start, finally ditching the pumpfakes and being more decisive both going to the rim and pulling up for jumpers.

While the game was still in doubt to start the fourth, with Miami only up 10, any hopes of a Boston comeback were quickly squashed as the Heat took full control early in the fourth with more great defense leading to easy offense to push the lead out to 21.

Overall, Miami shot 48.8 percent from the field and 50 percent from three on the night, as they just continue to get incredible efforts from the likes of Martin, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, and the rest of their rotation. While Adebayo struggled to make a big impact offensively, his defensive presence was huge and helped hold Boston to 39 percent shooting from the field and forced them to spend most of the night shooting on the perimeter, where they shot a dismal 21.4 percent.

Miami will now face a very different test in the Denver Nuggets, where Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have looked unstoppable offensively through three rounds, but if they keep shooting the way they have this postseason, they’ll have a real chance at another shocking upset.

For Boston, the season comes to an end with a thud, as for the second time this series in a crucial spot they laid an egg. Scoring 84 in a Game 7 at home, even factoring in the Tatum injury, is an abysmal effort and this summer will be very interesting as there could be some changes on the horizon for a team that’s been one of the East’s most consistent performers — but only has one Finals appearance to show for it.
