Some artist-led festivals have made big names for themselves, like Pharrell’s Something In The Water, The Roots’ Roots Picnic, and most notably, Lollapalooza, originally launched by Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction. Now, Jack Harlow is getting into the festival game, too: Today (February 28), he announced Gazebo Festival, a two-day event that runs from May 25 to 26 at Louisville, Kentucky’s Waterfront Park.

This first edition of the fest, which shares its name with Harlow’s 2017 mixtape Gazebo and will feature two stages, will be headlined by SZA and Harlow himself. Beyond them, the full lineup features James Blake (doing a DJ set), Omar Apollo, PinkPantheress, Vince Staples, Amaarae, Channel Tres, Majid Jordan, Slum Village, Veeze, Dahi, Jordan Ward, Ravyn Lenae, Rich Homie Quan, BNYX, James Savage, Karrahbooo, and Malcolm Todd.

Tickets go on sale on March 8 at 10 a.m. ET, with general admission tickets starting at $255. There’s also a pre-sale starting March 6 at 10 a.m. ET. More information about tickets can be found on the festival website. A portion of proceeds from every ticket will benefit the Jack Harlow Foundation.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg says of the event, “Jack Harlow is an extraordinary Louisvillian who continues to give back to his hometown. This is yet another way Jack is showing up for our city and I can’t wait to see the excitement this festival creates. I am so grateful for his commitment to making first class things happen for Louisville and our people.”

Emo Jimmy Butler Returned In Fall Out Boy’s Latest Music Video

For the second straight year, Jimmy Butler decided to use preseason media day as a chance to have some fun. A year after showing up with extremely long extensions for his official photoshoot, Butler arrived to Miami’s media day with his hair straightened in an emo cut — perhaps offering a glimpse into his mood after the Heat failed to land Damian Lillard in a trade.

A visit to any of the various stats websites that use the official headshots from each season will provide a reminder of Butler’s emo look from before the season, as it really is a great bit from him. However, it appears there was more to this season’s look than just having some fun with what he’ll look like in lineup cards and on stats websites.

On Wednesday, Fall Out Boy released a new music video for their song “So Much (For) Stardust” that features Jimmy Butler (in his emo cut) wearing a bedazzled purple suit and cowboy hat, dancing in snakeskin boots alongside Pete Wentz (dressed in the same thing, but silver). That’s literally the entire 4-minute video, just a couple guys being dudes in jazzy cowboy outfits singing and dancing along to the song. It’s good timing to put out a music video featuring Butler, as he and the Heat are riding a hot streak currently, winning five straight and seven of their last eight to climb into a tie for the 5-seed in the East with Philadelphia.

Why Was Usher Mentioned In A New Diddy Lawsuit?

Early this week, NBC News reported that Diddy had been named in a new sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod Madeit” Jones, a producer on Diddy’s album The Love Album: Off The Grid. The suit also named Diddy’s son, Justin Combs; chief of staff Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam as defendants for either aiding Diddy or failing to address complaints about his behavior.

However, as news of the suit spread, some other names mentioned in the suit piqued music fans’ interest. One of those names was Usher’s. So,

Why Was Usher Mentioned In The New Lawsuit Against Diddy?

Usher is not named as a defendant in the suit; however, a redacted excerpt caught the attention of gossip blogger DJ Akademiks, who used the provided footnotes to extrapolate the identities of the redacted names. “Mr. Combs informed Mr. Jones that he had engaged in sexual intercourse with rapper[5] (REDACTED), R&B singer[6] (REDACTED), and Stevie J,” it read. The footnotes provided background info for anyone involved who might need context for the redacted names. 5 was described as “a Philadelphia Rapper who dated Nicki Minaj,” which could only be Meek Mill, while 6 “performed at the Super Bowl and had a successful Vegas residency.”

That sure sounds like Usher, right?

Now, it’s important to remember that unless these assertions are corroborated, they should probably be taken with a massive grain of salt — actually, just throw the whole salt shaker in there. Celebrity lawsuits are often filled with lurid details to bait headlines that plaintiffs’ lawyers hope will prompt quick settlements to avoid lengthy trials and more embarrassing headlines. In Diddy’s case, although he did quickly settle his ex Cassie’s sexual assault lawsuit last year, he’s since maintained that the wave of suits that followed it was just a series of money grabs.

When Will ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ Be On Hulu?

neon

Every year, a handful of international language films become breakout mainstream hits in America. In 2022, it was RRR and Decision to Leave, among others. Last year, it was The Zone of Interest, The Boy and the Heron, Godzilla Minus One, and Anatomy of a Fall, which made $4.7 million at the domestic box office and nearly $30 million worldwide. Justine Triet’s French legal drama, about a woman (played by Sandra Hüller) who is accused of murdering her husband, is also up for five Oscars, including Best Picture.

If you didn’t catch Anatomy when it was in theaters, good news: it’s coming to Hulu on Friday, March 22nd. That’s not in time for the 2024 Oscars, which air on March 10th, but you should still check it out. It’s a very good movie! With the year’s best Good Boy.

Here’s the official plot synopsis:

For the past year, Sandra, her husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide. Samuel’s suspicious death is presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel’s death but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s conflicted relationship.

This innovative sustainable luggage will elevate your travel game

Who doesn’t love the thrill of packing their bags, the anticipation of new adventures, and the joy of exploring unseen corners of the world? There’s something magical about travel, about the stories we gather and the memories we create. Yet, in the midst of all this excitement, it’s easy to overlook the ecological footprint we leave behind on the very places we cherish.

As we traverse our beautiful planet, every choice we make matters—including the choices about how we carry our essentials. Luckily, we don’t have to compromise on the way we travel to protect the beauty of our planet. Because a brand called Horizn Studios is redefining what it means to travel with conscience and style.

The Problem With Most Luggage

Few things can elevate your travel game like beautifully designed luggage. Anyone who’s ever gone anywhere knows the right gear can make it easier to move around, catch flights, and navigate unfamiliar terrain. It also provides peace of mind because you know your stuff is safe, secure, and accessible. However, these days we can no longer afford to put style and comfort ahead of the planet.

Right now the world is producing almost 400 million metric tons of plastics per year, and over the last 50 years more than 130 million metric tons of plastics have accumulated in our oceans, lakes, and rivers. And most travel gear on the market today is part of the problem for two very simple reasons: it’s not built to last, and it’s not made using sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.

But choosing eco-friendly travel gear doesn’t have to mean settling for less. Horizn Studios stands at the forefront of a revolution, crafting luggage, backpacks, and travel accessories that look good and do good.

Driven By Innovation

When it comes to eco-friendly travel gear, Horizn Studios is a revolution on 360° spinner wheels. This company is pushing boundaries with innovative materials and features. It started when they launched the world’s first suitcases with removable chargers, which ensure your devices never die when you need them most. But Horizn didn’t stop there. Their commitment to a greener future drove them to pioneer the use of recycled polycarbonate and plant-based materials, crafting luggage that’s not only durable but also kind to the planet.

Horizn’s quest to innovate also led to cool collaborations with iconic brands like BMW, Beats By Dre, and Soho House, not to mention some of the world’s most acclaimed artists. These partnerships infuse Horizn products with unparalleled ingenuity and style, ensuring that every product, from backpacks to travel accessories, stands at the intersection of high-end functionality and sustainability.

World’s Most Sustainable High-End Luggage

At the heart of Horizn Studios‘ ethos is a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, a principle that guides every step of their design and manufacturing process. For example, their Circle One collection boasts the world’s first 100% plant-based hard shell. Meanwhile, their RE Series utilizes an impressive 97% recycled polycarbonate.

Horizn’s commitment to sustainability also extends every step of their products’ lifecycle. For example, Horizn’s Stop, Drop & Roll recycling program allows travelers to bring in old luggage (of any make) for proper recycling, offering Horizn store credit in return. For Horizn Studios sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. This holistic approach to sustainable travel, from the use of recycled and vegan materials to end-of-life product management, solidifies Horizn as a true leader in the movement toward a more sustainable and mindful way of exploring the world.

Style Meets Functionality

Beyond their commitment to sustainability, what also sets Horizn Studios apart from other brands is their attention to high-end style and innovative functionality. All of their products combine sleek design and high performance durability, so that practicality and style exist in perfect harmony.

When you buy luggage from Horizn Studios you get tons of innovative features. These include things like integrated removable chargers, TSA-approved locks, smart compartments for laptops and other essentials, durable water-resistant fabrics, and ultra-light materials—in other words, the sorts of things that refine and enhance your travel experience.

Travel Products for the Next Generation

Products designed to last five years are manufactured in the cheapest way possible. That’s why they don’t cost very much. If you want quality and sustainability, you have to invest a little more. With Horizn, when you make an investment to enhance travel experience, you know you are getting the best of the best—smart, beautiful luggage that is ethically designed and manufactured from start to finish. And best of all, every piece comes with a lifetime warranty and a risk-free 100-day trial, so you can test the waters with complete confidence.

Are you ready to experience the magic of traveling with luggage that’s built to last, designed to impress, and crafted with the future in mind? Take Horizn Studios sustainable luggage on your next adventure.

Sydney Sweeney Has A Promising Response For Those Who Want An ‘Anyone But You’ Sequel

anyone But You
Sony

Jimmy Fallon should be considered a rom-com expert due to his role in the 2005 sports epic Fever Pitch, but for some reason, he continues to be a late-night host. But he knows a hit when he sees it, and that’s why he asked Sydney Sweeney if there is any potential for an Anyone But You sequel.

Sweeney starred alongside Glen Powell in the flick, which hit theaters in December and ended up making over $170 million worldwide, which is a rare accomplishment for a rom-com (Fever Pitch made $50 million, for reference) Because of its success, Fallon asked Sweeney on The Tonight Show if fans could expect a sequel, and it does sound promising. “Maybe like, a high nine chance,” Sweeney said with a laugh. Fallon rejoiced! He loves his little funny movies.

Sweeney also shared that she and costar Joe Davidson would sneak into theaters to surprise moviegoers. “I was filming in Australia while this has been in theaters, and Joe, who plays Beau, he and I would sneak into theaters and surprise people,” she recalled. Fallon asked, “Did they freak out?” and Sweeney revealed that it was a little anticlimactic.

“No, at first they didn’t know what was going on. They were like, ‘What?’ Everyone was dead silent. We’re standing up in the front with a microphone, we’re like, ‘This is not working,’” she laughed. To be fair, it’s extremely hard to see who is in front of you when you are in a pitch-black movie theater. Unless you are seeing Fever Pitch!

At this point, we will likely get a sequel to Anyone But You before we get a third season of Euporhia. More like Anyone But YouPhoria, right? Right?!!

Reneé Rapp Said She Doesn’t Remember A Controversial ‘Mean Girls’ Line Because She Got Drunk With Megan Thee Stallion At The Premiere

If we learned anything from Reneé Rapp‘s press run for the 2024 movie-musical adaptation of Mean Girls, it’s that she doesn’t hold back. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rapp opened up about the inspirations behind her music, her anxiety around acting, and more.

During the conversation, Rapp was asked about a controversial line in the 2024 iteration of Mean Girls. However, Rapp said she does not remember this particular moment, and noted that she and her “Not My Fault” collaborator Megan Thee Stallion were a bit toasty during the premiere.

“I feel like I’m the only person in the world who didn’t see this and who doesn’t know what we’re talking about,” Rapp said. “And I think it’s because I was fairly drunk at the premiere and that was the only time I ever watched the movie. Because I don’t like watching stuff that I’m in because it freaks me out. It was me and Megan [Thee Stallion], next to each other, and I was like, ‘I’m so anxious.’ I immediately got into the theater, changed out of my little dress, put on a comfier one, sat down in the back. I was like, ‘We need two bottles of champagne.’ I was violently hungover the next day. I must have had a great time. I remember seeing myself and being like, ‘My eyeliner looks amazing.’ And that’s all I recall.

Though Rapp has said she is primarily focusing on music as opposed to acting, she will appear in the upcoming third season of The Sex Lives Of College Girls, this time, as a supporting character and not a series regular.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Teezo Touchdown Teamed Up With A24 To Cover A Talking Heads Deep Cut For A ‘Stop Making Sense’ Re-Release

Last August, film nerd favorite indie distributor A24 announced it had acquired the rights to re-release the Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense. Then, early this year, A24 revealed that a tribute album to the film — and the works of the quirky, inventive band’s expansive discography — called Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense was in the works (with a suitably David Byrne-ish title, no less). After sharing Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down The House” last month, the next release from the tribute is Teezo Touchdown’s cover of “Making Flippy Floppy.”

The Texas artist is a fitting choice, as his own music refuses categorization or simplification. An album cut from the Heads’ 1983 album Speaking In Tongues, “Making Flippy Floppy” is perhaps less well-known than tracks like “Once In A Lifetime” or “This Must Be the Place,” but its funky bassline and elastic groove translate well in Teezo’s hands. While it’s a relatively straightforward cover that doesn’t try to get too cheeky or experimental, Teezo’s enthusiasm for the material is clear in his full-throated delivery of each line.

Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense will mirror the original soundtrack album’s tracklist, with contributions from BADBADNOTGOOD, Blondshell, The Cavemen, Chicano Batman Feat. Money Mark, DJ Tunez, El Mató a un Policía Motorizado, Girl in Red, Jean Dawson, Kevin Abstract, The Linda Lindas, Lorde, Miley Cyrus, The National, and Toro y Moi

2024 looks like the year for cover projects inspired by films; the Bob Marley biopic One Love spawned its own covers EP with takes on Wailers classics from the likes of Leon Bridges, Daniel Caesar, and more.

Check out Teezo Touchdown’s “Making Flippy Floppy” cover above.

When Will ‘Masters Of The Air’ Season 1, Episode 7 Come Out On Apple TV?

Masters Of The Air
Apple TV+

With Masters of the Air unfolding on Apple TV+, the follow-up to the Band of Brothers and The Pacific has been locking down rave reviews for its spectacular visuals capturing moments of valor in the skies.

From executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, Masters of the Air stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Barry Keoghan in this riveting tale of a real-life bombing squadron. The show is barreling towards its season finale, and we’ve got all the details on when the next episode will fly in.

When Will ‘Masters of the Air’ Season 1, Episode 7 Come Out On Apple TV?

Keeping with the show’s Friday release schedule, Masters of the Air Episode 7 will arrive March 1 on Apple TV+. You can also catch up with the rest of the season as all previous episodes are available to stream.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

Masters of the Air drops new episodes Fridays on Apple TV+.
