‘Absolute Legend’ Keanu Reeves Helped Kate Beckinsale Prevent A Wardrobe Malfunction On The Red Carpet

In the latest installment of Keanu Reeves: Total Mensch, Kate Beckinsale revealed how the actor helped her hide a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

The year was 1993, and Beckinsale was there for her film debut in Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing. “I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open and it flipped up like a roller blind,” she wrote on Instagram.

Beckinsale “didn’t feel it was appropriate to go delving around in my undercarriage with all of us in the back of the car so I just quietly panicked,” she continued. “Walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened. In this picture I am holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back gusset.”

Ah yes, a “gusset.” I definitely knew what that is before looking it up on Google five seconds ago, absolutely.

The Underworld actress called Reeves and Sean Leonard “absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening,” but “both jumped in to save me no questions asked.” That grandmother who leaves Keanu must be so proud of him.

Lana Del Rey Went Full ‘Norman Vaping Rockwell’ When She Lost Her Vape At Her First Concert In Three Years

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.

‘Succession’s J. Smith-Cameron Fueled The Fire Of A Fan Theory About Roman’s Final Onscreen Moments

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.

Foo Fighters Say A Sorrowful Goodbye On ‘The Teacher,’ An Emotional, Ten-Minute Rock Epic

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.

The Hottest Accessory From The ‘Succession’ Series Finale Is… Roman’s Walmart Shirt?

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.

Meek Mill And DJ Drama’s Beef Escalates As The Rapper Called Out The Producer For Being A ‘Goofy’ And ‘Industry Lame’

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.”
