After nearly breaking the internet with her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover at the age of 81, Martha Stewart started getting accused of having plastic surgery done, which the quintessential homemaker is fervently denying. In a follow-up interview after making her SI Swimsuit debut, Stewart chalked up her looks to good genes and healthy eating. Plus, she did used to be a model in her 20s, folks.

“When I was a model and posing all the time in bathing suits and sporty sexy things, that’s the time I should have been on the cover,” Stewart said with a laugh. “But I wasn’t $75-an-hour model then. I was only a $50- and $60-an-hour model.”

The lifestyle guru also upped her Pilates regimen, cut out alcohol, and got a full body wax even though she’s “not a hairy person.” As for the comments on her Instagram that she got work done, Stewart isn’t having it.

Via Variety:

Well, it’s not true. I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever. I have very healthy, good hair. I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors. I’m very careful in the sun. I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day.

When asked if she’s ever been tempted by plastic surgery or fillers, Stewart confessed to dabbling with the latter, but only a little.

“Every now and then there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there, but I hate Botox,” Stewart said. “It’s a weird thing for me. I really and truly don’t do a lot.”

Foo Fighters are once again back! After some cryptic teasers that lead to the announcement of their next album, But Here We Are, the band have now dropped another new song from it called “Under You.”

Lyrically, it seems to find the band still grappling with the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away last year.

“There are times that I need someone / There are times I feel like no one / Sometimes I just don’t know what to do,” Dave Grohl sings. “There are days I can’t remember / There are days that last forever / Someday I’ll come out from under you.”

Despite the emotion present in the lyrics, the light rock instrumental balances things out. This new song also follows their lead single, “Rescued,” which they described as “the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.”

Along with the new track, Foo Fighters will also host a global streaming event for free this Sunday, May 21. The band will also be returning to live shows and the festival circuit this summer, with a complete list of tour dates available here.

Post Malone helped a fan in a major way. During a recent trip to Scotland earlier this month, the “Chemical” singer met a fan by the name of Gregor Hunter Coleman in Glasgow’s Wunderbar, according to a report from BBC. Coleman was reportedly singing in the pub and was invited to meet Post following his set. The two were said to have immediately hit it off.

“He said, ‘Do you want a drink?,’” Coleman said. “I was like, ‘Listen, I’m saving for a house so I’m not drinking just now.’ Which was daft, my mates were, like, ‘Why did you turn down a drink from Post Malone?’”

Post then reportedly asked Coleman to sing at his after party the following night.

“He started saying, ‘How much will you charge,’” recalled Coleman. “I said ‘Nothing, it’s Post Malone, this is the chance of a lifetime.’”

After further conversation, Post “got talking to [Coleman] and he offered to help [him] out with my house deposit.” Though, the amount Post reportedly contributed hasn’t been disclosed, and Coleman is keeping mum on that.

Meanwhile, Post is gearing up for the release of his fifth studio album, Austin, as well as an upcoming North American tour.

Rootin’ tootin,’ lipstick-lovin’ Lauren Boebert usually makes headlines on any given day. This week, however, this inevitability somehow isn’t about guns or an unfortunate tweet. Rather, Lauren filed for divorce from her husband of 20 years, Jayson Boebert, who she first met at Burger King when she was only 16 years old. They share four sons and will soon welcome their first grandchild.

Mesa County court documents made mention of the process server’s observations of Jayson, who was apparently blindsided by his wife’s filing. The server stated that Jayson was cleaning a gun and drinking “a large glass of beer” upon his arrival. He also allegedly grew furious at the server and let his dogs outside. The server also pointed out that Jayson “was extremely angry,” and this happened “[o]nce he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers.”

Given that Jayson has recently been reported as belligerent by neighbors — one of whom once claimed in a 911 call that he was being a “jackass” while “running over my mailbox right now” and was “probably drunk” — the idea that he blew up at a process server didn’t sound far-fetched. However, Jayson exchanged some texts with The Daily Beast and denied losing it. He also said any inkling of him being “upset” was because he didn’t know why he was being approached, which is inconsistent with the server’s claims. Jayson also began gushing over text:

“I did not know what I was being served for or if it was some crazy left wing person coming to my house again … I was not drinking and I was not cleaning any gun. The divorce is sad, I did not expect this, I love her with every bit of my heart, she has been my soul mate and she is the mother of my Children.”

Jayson continued with an “I just want her to be happy, So it’s what ever she wants.”

Lauren Boebert has previously referenced “anger management” in regard to Jayson, and she did so in writing. Her 2022 memoir, My American Life (with foreward by Ted Cruz), specifically referenced the incident where Jayson exposed his dong in a bowling alley. Via the Durango Herald, Lauren stated that Jayson “needed the alcohol and anger management classes” that were part of his plea deal.

In a Tuesday statement, Boebert insisted that this divorce was purely out of “irreconcilable differences”:

“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband. I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences. I do not intend to discuss this matter any further in public out of respect for our children and will continue to work hard to represent the people of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.”

She declined to speak with The Daily Beast, although Jayson clearly did some opening up.

It’s become a cliché to say “movies are back,” because movies have been back since Top Gun: Maverick made over $1 billion, or Avatar: The Way of Water made over $2 billion, or the “Naatu Naatu” scene in RRR. But after watching the trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, folks, let me tell you: movies are f*cking back.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise — and first since Henry Cavill cocked his arm like a gun in 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout — once again stars Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. His mission this time: drive a motorcycle off a cliff. And some other stuff, too, like how war is coming, but mostly the motorcycle thing, which Cruise called “far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted.”

Here’s the official plot synopsis:

“In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.”

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny, and Pom Klementieff, opens on July 12, followed by sequel Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two on June 28, 2024.

In an interview that his loudest, Twitter Blue-subscribing supporters have probably deemed “epic,” Elon Musk said that he doesn’t care if his bad-take tweets, like a recent one where he compared businessman George Soros to X-Men character Magneto, scare away potential Twitter advertisers.

“I’ll say what I want, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it,” he told CNBC’s David Faber on Tuesday. When Faber pressed on another tweet with “anti-Semitic overtones” about Soros (“He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity”), Musk huffily replied, “I’m a pro-Semite, if anything.” Sounds like someone just watched 21 Jump Street.

Musk has previously criticized Soros, whose family office, Soros Fund Management, recently cut its stake in Tesla. Soros, who is also Jewish, is a favorite target of right wing pundits and politicians and often the subject of anti-Semitic attacks. Soros and his family escaped the Nazis during World War II.

If, hypothetically speaking, new Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino asked Musk to stop tweeting about delusional conspiracy theories, would he? Musk considered the question in one of the longest, most uncomfortable pauses I’ve ever seen in a TV interview before answering… with a quote from The Princess Bride. “You know, I’m reminded of,” he said, “there’s a scene in The Princess Bride — great movie — where he confronts the person who killed his father and he says, ‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care.’”

At least he didn’t scream “I’m Pickle Rick, bitch” and run off screen?

Earlier this month, Ed Sheeran scored a major win when he was found not liable in a lawsuit that alleged plagiarism of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” on his “Thinking Out Loud.” Now, less than two weeks later, another similar lawsuit was just resolved in Sheeran’s favor.

Billboard reports that last September, US District Judge Louis Stanton ruled that Sheeran would need to face a jury in a lawsuit filed by Structured Asset Sales, which owns a partial stake in the Gaye song. Now, though, Stanton reversed that decision and ruled that the case is dismissed without Sheeran facing a trial.

He wrote, “It is an unassailable reality that the chord progression and harmonic rhythm in ‘Let’s Get It On’ are so commonplace, in isolation and in combination, that to protect their combination would give ‘Let’s Get It On’ an impermissible monopoly over a basic musical building block.”

Stanton also said, “Multiple songwriters have combined the two commonplace elements in the same manner for years. If their combination were protected and not freely available to songwriters, the goal of copyright law […] would be thwarted. […] To prevent manifest injustice, defendants’ motion for reconsideration is granted. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close the case.”

Ed Sheeran is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

After some speculation in recent months, earlier in May, Taylor Swift officially announced that her next re-recorded album will be Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). The album notably includes some lyrics believed to be about Swift’s exes, including Taylor Lautner on “Back To December.” He’s not feeling worried… at least not for himself.

In an interview with Today.com, Lautner was asked about how he’s feeling when it comes to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), and after a laugh, he said, “I think it’s a great album. Yeah, I feel safe. Praying for John.”

“John,” of course, refers to John Mayer, who is likely the titular ex in the Speak Now highlight “Dear John.”

As for how Lautner’s wife, also named Taylor Lautner, feels about this, she’s actually a big Speak Now fan, saying recently, “Speak Now is one of the best albums of all time. The lyrics are insane.”

Meanwhile, Mayer recently made an admission about his own “Paper Doll,” which is supposedly inspired by Swift. On stage, he said, “I wonder if people don’t like it because it sounds a little pissed off. I don’t really like ‘pissed off’ as a song. I think it was more… I think there is something about it that’s a little bitchy. I try not to give bitchiness in the song, and then it happens sometimes.”

Last year, Spoon shared Lucifer On The Sofa and embarked on a co-headlining tour with Interpol. Since then, they’ve announced more tours with The Black Keys and Weezer. Now they’re back with more news.

On Tuesday, May 16, the band announced an EP called Memory Dust and released the single “Sugar Babies.” The EP consists of two original songs as well as a cover of Bo Diddley’s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.” The jaunty “Sugar Babies” works as a good singalong, with an infectious chorus: “They wanna know how much they changed / They wanna know how I feel about it / Do I think they look the same? / Or do I hear their voices talkin’ to them,” Britt Daniel sings.

Also in 2022, Spoon unleashed the Wild EP, which included a Jack Antonoff remix. “Jack and I got together years ago. I feel like we worked on two songs — this one and ‘Can I Sit Next To You,’ but nothing really happened with that,” Daniel explained. “I don’t know how exactly to describe his signature other than there’s something about the chord changes that are a little more epic than usual.”

Tim Robinson has a good thing going: Every two years he drops six more episodes of I Think You Should Leave, his absurdist — and frequently shouty — Netflix sketch show. You never know what you’re going to get. A guy could obsess over too-easily-detachable steering wheels on cars. A bruncher could bust out messed-up social media posts. A prankster could suddenly tumble into existential dread while in a ridiculous costume. A sketch about a guy in a hot dog suit could, in our creatively awful timeline, become a way-too-endurable internet meme. It’s brilliant stuff, so when is there going to be more?

The answer: very soon. Netflix plans on dropping the next batch of I Think You Should Leave episodes on May 30. The streamer doesn’t do that thing that joints like Hulu or HBO Max (sorry: Max) do and parcel out episodes weekly. In about two weeks you’ll be able to plow through the next batch of Tim Robinon episodes, and it’ll probably take you less than three hours.

Like many, Uproxx has been obsessed with Robinson’s delightful show. We’ve even ranked the sketches from both seasons. You have plenty of time to revisit those episodes and those sketches, and it won’t even take you very long. But that’s a good thing: Quality is always preferable to quantity.
