Mitski‘s highly anticipated new album The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We is out today. Enticing singles like “Bug Like An Angel,” “Star,” and “Heaven” built up the excitement, and now the track “My Love Mine All Mine” has received its own eerie music video.

The video depicts Mitski stacking chairs into a massive sculpture and defying gravity as she climbs it. It conveys the subtle poignance of the sprawling song, which is as haunting as it is beautiful as she sings of the power of love: “Nothing in the world belongs to me / But my love, mine all mine all mine.”

The indie sensation is currently on the road bringing this new material to stages. The first performance was in Mexico City on September 11, and the next one is in Los Angeles on September 20. This is a relief to fans, since she said her show in New York in 2019 was her “last show indefinitely.” “I was thinking this was the last show I would perform ever, and then I would quit and find another life,” Mitski told Rolling Stone in an interview in 2021.

Watch the video for “My Love Mine All Mine” above.

I’ve watched The Simpsons all the way through (well, seasons 1 through 13) countless times, and all it’s taught me is that Scooby Doo can doo doo but Jimmy Carter is smarter. Meanwhile, a 12-year-old boy in Florida saved someone’s life because he learned how to perform CPR from Stranger Things.

USA Today reports that over the long Labor Day weekend, 12-year-old Austen and his behavioral therapist, Jason Piquette, were “competing to see who could hold their breath under water longer when something went terribly wrong.” Piquette was floating motionless face down in the family pool for at least five minutes, so Austen pulled him to the shallow end of the pool and began administering CPR. Piquette regained consciousness thanks to the pre-teen’s quick thinking — and Stranger Things.

[Austen’s mom Christina Macmillan] later asked Austen where he had learned CPR. He told her he remembered it from a scene in the show Stranger Things. The emotional, two-minute scene shows Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and Jim Hopper (David Harbour) giving chest compressions to Byers’ unconscious young son Will (Noah Schnapp). Hopper beats frantically on Will’s chest in desperation to revive him. Mimicking those chest compressions, the home video shows Austen hitting Piquette’s chest and bringing him back to life.

The Stranger Things writers should bring a sign saying “We Literally Saved Someone’s Life” to the picket lines. The greedy executives can’t compete with that.

This past weekend’s 2023 MTV VMAs were full of surprises, like Madonna’s 34-year-old commercial and supposed beef between Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake (which was quickly debunked). The most surprising element of the evening for Ice Spice appears to be herself, as she was shocked about how her body looked in a photo she saw.

Recently, Ice Spice shared a photo of herself and Taylor Swift hugging at the VMAs, and in the picture, both artists are shown from the side. Ice Spice was apparently surprised to see how her profile looked as she tweeted, “damn i aint kno i was that thick hold on.” The post has proven to be popular, as it’s been seen over 35 million times on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Ice Spice had a good night at the VMAs. She won the Best New Artist award and had three other nominations: Push Performance Of The Year for “Princess Diana” and two nods in Song Of The Summer, for her and Nicki Minaj’s Barbie movie song “Barbie World” and her and Swift’s “Karma.” Her and Ben Affleck’s new Dunkin’ commercial also debuted during the broadcast.

Last year, Bella Poarch of TikTok fame unveiled her alluring Dolls EP, whose title track had an unhinged music video featuring Grimes, Madison Beer, and other celebrities. Now, she’s back with her new song and video “Crush.”

“‘Crush’ is this fun, brighter side of me that I’m excited to showcase,” the 26-year-old said in a statement. “The song itself is light, cheeky, and it gives you the flirty feeling of butterflies in your stomach that you get when sparks begin to fly. It’s about being in the moment and indulging in the simple things like binging Love Island, or having an innocent crush without overthinking it (which I’m guilty of). Lauv is such an incredible artist and being able to work with him is such an honor. He’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and I LAUVed working with him hehe.”

Lauv added, “’Crush’ is about that feeling when you’re into someone but don’t wanna cross the line ’cause it’s so fun just being slightly into them. I wrote this song in Thailand with some amazing songwriters and when Bella wanted to record it, I was so excited to hear her take on it. Love singing with her and so happy ‘Crush’ is finally out!”

Jarred Vanderbilt’s energy and defensive versatility made him an important part of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ midseason turnaround last season, and now, he’s being rewarded with a lengthy contract extension. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Vanderbilt and the Lakers came to terms on a new deal that will last four years and pay him $48 million.

Vanderbilt bounced around during the early part of his NBA career, as he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 2018 before getting traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2020. While he flashed his considerable potential on the defensive end of the floor in Minnesota, he was sent to Utah last offseason in the deal that sent Rudy Gobert to the Timberwolves. Eventually, Los Angeles made it a point to acquire him at the trade deadline as part of a multi-team deal.

While the hope is that his jump shot will come around, Vanderbilt brought a ton of value due to his ability to guard multiple positions, rebound, and do the dirty work that is crucial alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. During his time in L.A. last year, Vanderbilt appeared in 26 games with 24 of the coming as a member of the starting lineup and averaged 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 12 steals in 24 minutes a night.

“Barely Holdin’ On” rapper Polo G has quickly become one of the leaders of rap’s new school. Since the release of his debut album, Die A Legend, in 2019, the Chicago native hasn’t deviated from his annual tradition of dropping a new project for fans. However, that could change this year. So, why is Polo G’s forthcoming album, Hood Poet, being delayed?

On August 12, Polo G took to his official Instagram page to announce the album (which at the time was scheduled for Friday, September 15) via a new diamond necklace with accent lavender stones, an elaborate pendant, and other tricked-out personal modifications made by IceBox Diamonds & Watches. However, by September 9, he stunned fans when he revealed that the project was no longer dropping.

Yesterday (September 14), in an exchange on X (formerly Twitter), Polo G gave supporters more insight into why he ultimately decided to delay the album. When asked outright by a follower, Polo G replied, “[I] was going through some sh*t, gang. We are still pushing [forward] though. You know that.”

Although Polo G did not state specifics, the sh*t he’s referring to could be tied to his recent arrest (August 23) on alleged kidnapping, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon charges. If Polo G is tied up in a legal battle of this magnitude, it would greatly hinder his ability to tour and travel for press.

Following the incident, Polo G’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, released a statement regarding his arrest. Read the complete statement below.

“The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo’s home and not Polo directly. The officers have detained Polo to ‘verify’ that he is not a convicted felon, as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not a convicted felon and never was a convicted felon. I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was, in our opinion, wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client, which is also an illegal and unethical practice, and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions. We are hopeful the LAPD will handle this matter with tact and transparency.”

Susanna Gibson, a nurse practitioner running for a seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates as a Democrat, made headlines this week after it was revealed that she and her husband filmed themselves performing sex acts on the streaming website Chaturbate.

“Chaturbate videos are streamed live on that site and are often archived on other publicly available sites. More than a dozen videos of the couple captured from the Chaturbate stream were archived on one of those sites — Recurbate — in September 2022, after she entered the race,” according to the Washington Post. “The most recent were two videos archived on Sept. 30, 2022. It is unclear when the live stream occurred.”

Earlier this week, Gibson released a statement about the videos being shared. “It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me. My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up,” she said, calling it “gutter politics.”

The story caught the attention of Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who compared the Democratic Party to Pornhub. “All right, this is a real headline from the AP, ‘Virginia candidate who livestreamed sex videos draws support from women and a leading Democrat.’ Why is this something that women are supporting?” she complained. “No one leaked these videos of this Virginia candidate, she put them on a porn website for money, but somehow this is now a rallying cry for respect? What are women doing to themselves?”

Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy said Gibson and her husband are “not good people,” even though they broke no laws (in fact, it might be the Republicans who are in legal hot water). Ingraham added, “Looks like the Democrat Party is just Pornhub. It’s not a hub for economic growth, but it is essentially Pornhub.” She meant that as an insult, but it sounds cool. It sure beats a Republican candidate for president refusing to “dine alone with a woman that’s not my wife.”

Kesha is back. In June, the pop star shared that the defamation lawsuit producer Dr. Luke filed against her in 2014 was settled out of court. “I am so full of light and excitement for the beautiful things to come, for shows to play, and art to make to share with you all,” she wrote.

Before that, the singer had announced The Gag Order Tour, but it’s now been renamed to The Only Love Tour.

“My animals. My fans. This has been a truly transformative year,” she wrote on social media. “And we have a LOT of overdue celebrating to do together. I’ve decided to change the name of my fall tour from ‘The Gag Order Tour’ to the ‘THE ONLY LOVE TOUR.’ Life is too short, and I want to celebrate the freedom and love in my life with all of you. LET’S DO THIS. Only love can save us now #OnlyLoveTour.”

Rootin’ tootin’ Lauren Boebert’s first week back from congressional hiatus did not revolve around any lawmaking but, instead, how she got kicked out of Beetlejuice last weekend and exited the venue while doing little twirly dances with a mystery companion. He was later revealed to be a Democrat Bar Guy, whose trendy Aspen cocktail bar held a drag show and participates in annual Gay Week festivities. Oddly, he’s apparently dating a diehard MAGA who has bashed drag shows, but that’s only one of the bonkers parts of this adventure.

Because this story cannot end, the pregnant woman who sat directly behind Boebert then revealed that she asked the congresswoman to stop vaping and received a flat-out “no.” A spokesperson strenuously denied any lawmaker vaping at the show, and Boebert thought the situation was too funny and tweeted that she would only “plead guilty to laughing and singing out loud.” Surprise, surprise — just like when Boebert was busted for lying by video footage showing her running up the Capitol steps when she missed a vote and claimed she skipped it as a “protest” — she was lying about the vaping, too.

Denver NBC affiliate 9 News acquired even more surveillance footage (tweeted by journalist Kyle Clark) that shows Boebert vaping before the show while a woman asks her to stop. She’s also shown “dancing” in her seat and generally acting like a menace to society.

Man, Boebert was really getting down here. She was *very* enthused over Beetlejuice. And I realize that “rootin’ tootin’” gets used a lot here while referencing her, but the term completely works to describe those arms-only dance moves. Her idol would be proud.

The United States men’s basketball team was unable to leave the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup without a medal. The Americans came in fourth place behind Germany, Serbia, and Canada at the event, but there is some good news: Despite all of this, Team USA has jumped back up to the No. 1 spot in the world.

FIBA, the international organizing body for the sport, released its most recent world rankings on Friday. After getting unseated by Spain earlier this year, the United States is back up to the top spot. Spain, which came in a relatively disappointing ninth place at the World Cup, fell to number two, while the rest of the top-5 is rounded out by Germany, Australia, and Serbia. The Germans knocked off the Serbians in the gold medal game at the event, while Australia, like their Spanish counterparts, failed to get out of the second round of group play.

As Marc Stein explained, FIBA’s rankings are not just a glimpse of what happened recently. Instead, it takes several years worth of data, and as a result, that catapulted the Americans back to the top of the ranking.

All of these teams except for Spain have already qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Three more teams were able to qualify via the World Cup — Canada, Japan, and South Sudan — while France will automatically make it as the host country for the event.
