Beyoncé has the fashion girlies buzzing, and they are ready to swarm all over her latest business endeavor. After news broke that the “Cuff It” singer and sports clothing manufacturer Adidas would be splitting ways due to “creative differences,” fans were curious as to what that meant. Now, with the announcement of her latest fashion collaboration, any residual confusion has been cleared up.
In a new interview with Vogue, Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing revealed that the “Flawless” singer and the fashion house had been secretly working on a line dedicated to her Grammy Award-winning album, Renaissance.
Each garment in the 17-look couture collection, titled Renaissance Couture, was designed to emote lyrics and concepts from the vocalist’s album. When asked how he was able to get the entertainer onboard with the idea, Rousteing, replied, “I contacted Marni [Senofonte, Beyoncé’s stylist] and B. And I said, ‘honestly, I want to create a couture collection with you.’ And they were like: ‘Wow, that’s a big surprise.’”
Just like with the record-breaking album, Rousteing points out that this collaboration will also go down in the record books.
“This appears to be the first time that a Black woman has overseen the couture offering from a historic Parisian house,” the designer said. “And those designs were created in partnership with the first Black man to ever oversee all the collections at an historic Parisian house.”
By no means is this the first time that Beyoncé and Balmain have worked together. In fact, the high-end fashion brand played an intricate part in the beloved garments during the singer’s epic Coachella performance, which went on to be immortalized in her documentary film Homecoming.
At this point, I can only imagine the madness that will be the Casa Bonita grand reopening in Lakewood, Colorado.
In May 2023, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will unveil their retooled “eatertainment” venue after nearly two years of nightmare renovations and preparations and, finally, actual “good food” (due to the hiring of Chef Dana “Loca” Rodriguez) that will be more than edible, in addition to those infamous sopapillas.
The pair has been hiring hundreds of employees (including cliff divers, wait staff, bartenders, and so on), and we’ve already heard about the Casa Bonita enthusiast who began gauging interest in how many people might want to camp outside the restaurant to wait for the doors to open, and let’s just say that word has spread. To recap, Jesse Vogel wrote the following on Facebook:
“This is far better than sleeping outside of bestbuy for a TV. This is sleeping outside for a once in a lifetime historic event! Gather outside Casa Bonita to get in line for the opening night we’ve all been waiting for. It’s only 3 months away; and a couple hundred feet from west Colfax… What could go wrong? lol.”
At this point, approximately 12,800 people are “interested” in this event, and fortunately, the Colorado Gazette reports that Vogel did already grease the goodwill wheels of neighboring businesses, although I’m not quite sure that anyone is prepared for opening week. Casa Bonita might actually have to start taking reservations, which is something that was likely unheard of back in the day. Eatertainment + really great food = an unmissable combo.
Her nanny – who’s become quasi-famous in her own right after Lynskey thanked her in a recent award show acceptance speech – is about to take her daughter for a walk around Central Park. Normally, they’d perform their very secret, very elaborate handshake before she leaves.
“It’s so complicated, it requires both hands and elbows and all sorts of stuff. So it’s not really something you can do on a phone call,” she explains after making assurances to the little girl that they’ll complete the ritual when she gets back. Naturally, my imagining of a multi-step covert handshake hinges on the example set forth in the Lohan remake. I say as much.
“Oh, I don’t think I ever saw that,” Lynskey replies. A jarring admission. (Hasn’t everyone seen the romantic comedy that introduced a generation of tweens to the concept of pairing peanut butter with Oreos?) But also a testament to how effortlessly cool Lynskey is. She’s the kind of mom who conjures secret handshakes from thin air, without a pop culture aid.
In season two of her genre-bending mystery thriller, she’s also the kind of mom who commits murder and goes to great lengths to cover it up. While one of the show’s dual timelines follows the teenage survivors of a plane crash, now braving the harsh winter by way of cannibalism and mysticism, their adult counterparts are confronting some lingering effects of that trauma in the present. This season, Lynskey’s Shauna is less apologetic when it comes to her homicidal instincts and more unhinged than ever.
Uproxx chatted with the star about tapping into her character’s comedic side, consulting her psychic on season two, and becoming a Gay icon on Twitter.
The cast got together to watch the season two premiere recently. What was the reaction from everyone?
Yeah, they had a screening on stage. So one day at lunchtime all the kids were working, and we all just came in to watch it with them and the whole crew. It was really fun. They did one screening like that last year as well and it was such a good morale booster because it can be hard. It can be physically demanding, and it can be emotionally demanding. So I think it was nice for everybody, crew included, to see, ‘Oh, this is what we’re working on. Okay.’ You get to a point where you just start to feel so crazy.
And no one lost their appetite afterward? They just went back to eating lunch?
All the kids did, which was really funny. They were all there, all dirty and looking terrible. It was episode 10 of season two, so it’s pretty rough.
There was so much hype around season one. How did the cast handle the pressure of coming back for season two?
Everyone’s nervous about how the season’s going to be received, and people who haven’t worked all that much are suddenly thrust into this position where everybody’s watching the show and you feel like, ‘How am I doing? Was that okay? Was I doing too much? Was I doing too little?’ So there were a few conversations we had, just trying to tell everyone that they’re amazing because they so genuinely are.
Did the older cast have any advice for them?
Their instincts are so good. It’s why they were cast. The only advice I’ve ever given them is just to keep trusting that. Trust your instincts. The writers are so amazing, but they’re keeping track of 16 lead characters. They cannot possibly track your emotional timeline in the same way that you can. So if there’s something where you’re like, ‘Hang on, two scenes ago I was doing this and now I’m doing this,’ trust that. Say something to the director, say something to the writers because they’re really, really open to it.’
But they all have such a voice and they’re also sure of their beliefs, and I just want to encourage them to never let go of that. And on the show also, every character is so important, every single character. So I never want anyone to feel like their role in the show is not as important as somebody else’s because it all makes it what it is.
What’s Shauna grappling with this season?
I think she’s grappling with panic. She’s like, ‘Am I going to be discovered?’ And she’s also kind of grappling with this thing that is really confronting to her where she’s realizing the danger she puts herself in. Like having an affair, she felt right. She felt really alive, and she felt really good. And it’s a tough thing to realize. This is where I’m happiest when I’m doing something illicit and wrong. And so she’s trying to figure out, I think, what does that mean for her life? And she’s pushing the boundaries a little bit.
She has a few unhinged moments early in the season. Is that fun for you to play?
It takes a long time sometimes to film the scene, so it’s going to be hard to stay in a ‘teetering on the brink’ moment for hours and hours for a whole night or whatever … but yeah, it’s super fun.
There are also quite a few comedic moments, particularly between Shauna and Jeff (Warren Kole) this season. How do you strike that balance between simmering rage and unsettling humor?
One thing the writers are especially good at is seeing the things that really work in the show and then making the most of it. In the first season, they came to really enjoy the chemistry that Warren and I have, the kind of comedic chemistry. So they started to write funny stuff for us to do together, which is always a joy. It’s a weird kind of humor that really, really works. They have a really good grasp on the toeing of this kind of [line] that you shouldn’t be laughing but you are.
Shauna doesn’t really seem to fit into this life she’s built, especially this season.
If she had had all the choices of life presented to her and anything was an option, she probably wouldn’t be doing anything that she has done. I don’t think she’d be a mother. I don’t think she’d still be in New Jersey. But I do think there was a feeling when she came back from the trauma that she endured where she just was like, ‘This is what I have to do.’ It was partly survivor’s guilt, and I think partly not wanting to have to reintroduce herself. That’s so complicated to try to go out into the world and be like, ‘Here’s who I am.’ It’s such a stressful thing for her to imagine, so she just kind of stayed in place and thought it would be easier. But that’s just not really who she is.
I’m sure you know this, but the Queer community has really rallied around you on social media. Do you consider yourself a gay icon?
Well, that’s very sweet. I mean, I don’t know. I think they feel some kind of acceptance [from me]. It’s like… I don’t want to use the word ‘mother’ because I understand that ‘mother’ is used all the time in a way that I actually don’t really understand. But I think it is a version of that where it feels like this kind of loving presence. Genuinely, so much of my life, so many people in my life are Queer and gay, trans. It’s just a very, very big part of my community, my actual closest community. So I don’t know. But I do love it. I think in general, gay people have very discerning tastes [which is] a massive generalization but…
Also, kind of spot-on.
I’m honored to be accepted.
Your psychic told you season one of Yellowjackets was going to be a hit. Have you consulted her on season two yet?
I mean, I talk to her all the time. I talk to her a lot. It’s so funny because she doesn’t really understand the business, so she didn’t really know what she was talking about. She was trying to tell me there was a thing that was going to be huge, and she was like, ‘You’ve already filmed part of it. What does that mean? You’ve already filmed part of it?’ And I was like, ‘I did a pilot. Is that what you were talking about?’ She was like, ‘What’s a pilot?’ And I was like, ‘Well, it’s the first episode of a show where they see if they want to pick it up.’ She was like, ‘Yes. Okay. Yeah, that’s [it].’ But nobody had said a word to me about the pilot. I didn’t even know if it was good or not. We just made it, and then there was absolute silence. So months and months after that to hear from someone, ‘Oh, no, that’s going to be a huge hit,’ she sounded absolutely insane to me.
But nope, she’s always right. And yeah, she feels great about season two.
Is she taking new clients?
Yeah! Awaken With Fatima. You can book it online. She’s booked up. It’s my fault, I think. She’s booked up like a month in advance now. But she’s amazing.
As Ron DeSantis edges closer to announcing his run for president, the Florida governor unveiled a creepy new laugh while fielding questions from Piers Morgan. In the heavily-promoted interview, which has already caused Donald Trump to pitch a fit thanks to several jabs from DeSantis, Morgan asks the potential GOP candidate about his latest “scandal” involving chocolate pudding.
After Morgan jokingly referred to the pudding cup incident as the next Watergate, DeSantis busted out a very weird and awkward laugh before responding to reports that he eats the chocolatey dessert with his fingers. In addition, DeSantis also slipped in a quick jab at Trump’s legal troubles while denying the pudding rumors.
“I don’t remember ever doing that,” but went on to suggest he was happy the claims being made about him were not more serious.
“Maybe when I was a kid,” he added. “But it’s interesting: there’s a lot of people when they go at you, sometimes they have really good ammunition, like ‘you’re a crook, you did this, you did that.’ For me, they’re talking about pudding? Like is that really the best you’ve got? OK, bring it on.”
While the “crook” line is sure to set off Trump, Morgan has already fired back at Trump for calling him “ratings challenged” by cheekily roasting the former president over his Truth Social rant.
“I quite agree with President Trump when he said it was a terrible mistake for Ron DeSantis to let himself be interviewed by a ‘ratings-challenged gun-grabbing TV host from England. Thank goodness Donald would never do that…,” Morgan tweeted along with four pictures of Donald Trump smiling next to said ratings-challenged host.

The city of Detroit and its surrounding areas are going through a rap renaissance. Once known for stalwarts like Big Sean, Eminem, and Slum Village, the Michigan region has experienced a resurgence of popularity with a new wave of rappers like Babyface Ray, Icewear Vezzo, and Sada Baby. Payroll Giovanni is bridging the gap between the generations.
The 35-year-old rapper got his start in the blog era as a member of a quartet, Doughboyz Cashout. However, he soon set himself apart with his consistent flow and sharp sense of observation. He quickly made a name for himself at a time when the only other rappers from Detroit receiving national attention were Big Sean and Eminem.
I last spoke to Payroll in 2018, as he and Minnesotan superproducer Cardo were preparing to release their second joint album, Big Bossin’, Vol. 2. At the time, we talked about the connections between LA and Detroit rap – connections that have only deepened and expanded in the years since, as fans note similarities in the off-kilter deliveries of punchline masters like Detroit’s Babytron and LA’s BlueBucksClan, among others.
It was a thread that we picked up when I met up with him in Los Angeles to discuss the release of his latest album, Ghost Mode, which is out now via Empire. “Ghost Mode,” he tells me, is when you “just get off the scene and focus on your goals.”
And although his low-key demeanor certainly reflects that philosophy, the steady stream of new music he’s been releasing since the last time we spoke indicates that just because he’s gone ghost doesn’t mean his impact isn’t still making itself evident. In fact, it’s loud and clear.
So, break down for me what the difference in the process between your last two projects was, the last time I talked to you. What’s happened for you since then? What’s the same? What have you learned? How have you grown?
I think that the last one was the Big Bossin Vol. 2, yeah, I was signed at Def Jam then. Now, I’m mainly independent so I’ve got a situation with Empire. I’ve been independent ever since that situation with Def Jam. I’m comfortable with that, for real. Owning my own music. Really building my catalog, building my fan base, catering to them.
It’s a little bit different because you’re not working with one producer, you’re working with a multitude of producers. How do you adjust your style from doing one producer, having that one-mind thing, to accommodating a lot of different sounds?
Oh, that’s easy for me. I can do that with any beat, for real. A lot of producers I’ve worked with, I’ve been working with. I’ve got an old project with AK. He did “Ex Dealer Flow” on there. I got an old project with Kidd The Producer. He did “Crib In The Woods.” Mainly, all the producers I mess with, I got old projects with or I got a good relationship with them. Yeah, so like I say, I can adapt to anything.
What would you say are some of the bigger benefits and some of the bigger drawbacks of being independent versus being on a label?
For me, the biggest benefit is ownership. Owning my music. I’m still getting paid for music I made over 10 years ago. And with that type of setup, I ain’t stressed, you know? I’m not stressing about finances and this and that. I’m getting paid from this project, that project, old projects that people probably don’t even know about. When you’re independent, you can just lean in your own lane and you’re getting all your money. So you can live like a major artist.
What would you say is the main idea of this album that you want people to sort of take away from when they get done listening?
The main idea for this album is to cut off distractions. You know, just get off the scene and focus on your goals. Handle your business, whatever that could be. Whatever you got to cut off; it could be a person, a place you always going to, a habit. It’s like, cut that sh*t off, disappear, stick to your goals, run it up, pop back out, and then be ready. Instead of trying to run it up and hit your goals while you spending money, while you doing dumb sh*t. You got to cut that sh*t out and just go ghost! Go ghost from the club. Go ghost from the homeboy that always keeps talking some negative sh*t or whatever it is.
If somebody was going to listen to only one song from the project, which one would it be and why?
I would say “Letter To The Lost.” It sets the tone for the whole project. It’s like I’m talking to somebody that’s stuck in life, but that want to do better. They just don’t know where to start; they need some advice. Like, a lot of us, we just need some game and advice from somebody, so a lot of people kind of put me in that lane. Like, “Man, you’re a motivator.” So I kind of just owned it. I’m damn near talking to myself on the song, for when I’m lost.
How do you reconcile being such a low-key, humble, normal guy with what rappers are supposed to be?
I ain’t trying to come off as some asshole always going and flexing and all that, because that ain’t what I’m about. I’m really just a laid-back dude. Want to handle my business and go home, and come back. I don’t want no extra dumb shit going on, none of that. But I would really say it comes from probably like, me being who I was before I was rapping and just being a laid-back, social dude. I’ve always observed. I never wanted all the attention. That ain’t me. I never really tried for that. That’s why even today, I barely do interviews.
I have seen that the Michigan movement is moving. You have Sada Baby, you have Icewear. You know, you have all these guys coming out. What does it mean for you, as someone who was there before all that, to see it start to culminate now? And how has it changed in that time since you started?
Man, it feel good. Like, to just see us get recognized and mentioned with the big dogs of the industry, the industry people hopping on songs. You know, rapping off our type of beats. Because when we first got our deal, we came with our sound and they wasn’t accepting that. They was like, “Man, this shit sounds too fun. It don’t sound clean.”
It’s techno.
People don’t know that! And that even come from like, we grew up on the Street Lordz, and the dude that used to produce the Street Lordz, his name was Art Forest. He is like, a techno God, and I didn’t even know that. So that’s why the shit’s so fast and all of that, because it really all comes from Art Forest. I remember when that wasn’t accepted, like to rap off of our type of beat. You know, nobody got it, nobody understood it, nobody understood our lingo. Nobody understood the way the beat sounds or the looks we was doing. Now, it’s you know, going crazy. Everybody trying to get a piece of it.
When you do interviews, you get a lot of the same questions. I end up having to ask a lot of the same questions. You have to cover the basics. What’s something that you wish somebody would ask you? If you were doing the interview, what would you ask you?
Damn, what would I ask myself? Man. Probably how did I start making beats? How did I like, get my business mindset?
I started making beats from my cousin and my homies that used to make beats in his room. I was in elementary school, and after school I would come into his room and try to rap to some of his beats. I used to have to earn them. The booth was in the car. I used to be in there with all the older dudes from the neighborhood, but it was teenagers. They used to be in there rapping and I used to be in there with them, just soaking up game, seeing what they were doing, how they was doing.
And then what gave you your business mindset? Were you around people that had businesses?
I really didn’t know nobody that owned a business for real. Like, I really got my business mindset from hustling. I could go on forever about how that go. I learned the importance of not blowing your bag at a young age. That’s how I was introduced to getting money. I used to be like, “Oh, $1000 make me this much money. How much would $2000? How much would $5000? How much would 20?”
I apply the same thing with rap, being independent. When I first got into the independent rap game, it was CDs before streams. So you know I was, then you know, coming up with all of those CDs and I make like, $10,000 or something. I’m like, “Damn, I make $10,000. Let’s f*ck around and make $100,000.” That was always the mindset.
Let’s put a bow on this interview.
Check that Ghost Mode out, and really listen to it and soak it in. You know, I could rap about how my diamonds are huge and how I could take a picture of whatever it is; everybody doing that. I rather you walk away with something that change your life, change your mindset. You know, make you think better. That’s what I do it for.
Ghost Mode is out now via Byplug Entertainment and Empire.
There has been a lot of speculation about Bill Hader’s love life over the years. The man is a mystery, which makes people want to know even more about him and his allegedly giant…brain. He’s been linked to every beautifully quirky brunette over the years, including Rachel Bilson, who hasn’t been shy about gushing over their (now over) relationship.
Bilson made surprising comments recently when she admitted that she hadn’t had an orgasm until she was 38, which just so happens to be the same time she started dating Hader. You don’t have to put two and two together to see where this leads. Of course, people took notice of this, most notably due to the slew of famous dudes Bilson has been linked with over the years. Sorry, Hayden Christensen: You will always have Vader, though.
The actress has clarified that her comments had less to do with who she was with. While speaking with Nick Viall on his podcast, Bilson explained, “It has nothing to do with any partner. It had to do with me knowing my body.”
Bilson then explained that she didn’t mean for her comments to spark headlines. “I just jumped on that and I was like, ‘When I was older I was able to do that too.’” She also wanted to clear the air when it came to a certain ex that was being brought up. “Apparently there were names brought up in both regards and I am not OK with that, because it had nothing to do with that,” she admitted.
While she wanted to protect her former famous exes, she also clarified that she is the one in control here. “[I’m not] giving a trophy to any other exes. Nobody was involved other than myself.” Hader was probably involved at least a little bit, right?
It’s been nearly four years since the finale of Games Of Thrones. The HBO Max original series and its spin-off prequel House Of The Dragon were considered by many TV enthusiasts to be required viewing. In fact, Games Of Thrones‘ lead actress Emilia Clarke is often flooded with love from fans across social media to this day for her role as Daenerys Targaryen. However, after meeting with one super fan, lovers of the show are losing their minds.
Rap icon, entrepreneur, and GOT super fan Snoop Dogg and the actress finally met in person. As the two spoke, he opened by showering Clarke with praise. “You’re an amazing actress, beautiful spirit. You’re so believable,” Snoop said.
But he just couldn’t stop himself from adding, “I would protect your eggs any day,” showing his dedication to the show.
Overjoyed by the compliments and dedication, Clark shouted, “Yes!” She then asked, “Can I get that in writing?”
Quickly after the video of the pair meeting hit TikTok, clips of the entertainer recording his live reaction to the series final back in 2019 resurfaced. Like many fans of the show, Snoop didn’t handle it so well when Clarke’s character was killed.
Watch his hilarious reaction below.

Spring has sprung, y’all! Officially on paper, at least. It’s still flippin’ cold and brown where I live, but we can see the daffodils stretching their way out of the ground and it won’t be long before everything bursts into bloom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Earth laughs in flowers.” That feels true, doesn’t it? These early days of spring are a bit like preparing to watch your favorite comedy, snuggled up on the couch with your people (or your cat), nummy snacks and comfy pants, smiling in anticipation because you know you’re about to have some big laughs.
Hopefully, that’s also how you feel jumping into these weekly roundups of joy, knowing you’re about to get hit with some mood-boosting serotonin and cant-help-but-smile goodness. (That’s how I feel each week pulling these lists together–it’s like a little weekly smile therapy.)
Thankfully, you don’t have to wait to enjoy these bursting blossoms of joy! Off we go…

6. 100-year-old Grace Linn is an inspiration with her speech about banning books
I am so inspired by everyone who spoke up against book bánning at the Martin County School Board meeting today, including Grace Linn. Grace is, in her words, “100 years young.” She spoke about witnessing the rise of fascism during WWII, about losing her husband to the war when he was 26, and about protecting our freedom to read. Thank you, Grace, for reminding us that this is a part of history we must not repeat.
She’s seen things in her life and she knows why this is important. How great to see her using her voice—and sewing skills—to defend the freedom to read.

Dad jokes tend to be simple, inoffensive attempts at humor that are often puns and never funny. Except, of course, to the dad who tells them. But he usually gets more of a kick out of the embarrassment it caused his children than the joke itself.
The article’s title is an embarrassing dad joke in and of itself: “Dad jokes? That’s the way eye roll…”
In the article, Hye-Knudson shows how dad jokes are an extension of a father’s more aggressive parenting style. Dads are often the parent to initiate playfighting, which seems social at first glance, but on a deeper level, helps to train kids to be stronger, more resilient and discover personal boundaries.
In the same way, dad jokes work to teach children how to handle embarrassing situations for themselves and their parents.
“Ideally, fathers’ rougher style of joking fulfills a similar function: by teasingly striking at their children’s egos and emotions without teetering over into bullying, fathers build their children’s resilience and train them to withstand minor attacks and bouts of negative emotion without getting worked up or acting out, teaching them impulse control and emotional regulation,” Hye-Knudson quotes Dr. Peter Gray.
This badgering is even more helpful when children reach adolescence and are more prone to embarrassment. “In this sense, dad jokes may have a positive pedagogical effect, toughening up the kids who are begrudgingly exposed to them,” Hye-Knudson writes.
The term “dad joke” may have originated in America, but the same concept exists in other cultures, suggesting that the parenting strategy may be deeply rooted in human psychology.
In addition to toughening up children by exposing them to embarrassment, it also shows a willingness to be embarrassed on the dad’s behalf. This is another way for a father to model how to handle embarrassment and show that it’s not that big of a deal to be the butt of a joke.
The joke makes the subtle point to the child that if an adult can handle mild humiliation, they can, too.

Ultimately, the dad joke appears to be a way for fathers to teach their kids that it’s OK to put yourself out there in the world without worrying about what other people think. And, if you happen to fail, that’s OK; get back on the proverbial horse and try again. It’s a valuable lesson for kids because resilience will play a big role in the child’s future success, whether in relationships, creativity or professional life.
“By continually telling their children jokes that are so bad that they’re embarrassing, fathers may push their children’s limits for how much embarrassment they can handle,” Hye-Knudson writes. “They show their children that embarrassment isn’t fatal.”
Lola Brooke is smoking hot right now. Her viral hit “Don’t Play With It” has her rubbing shoulders with the likes of Flo Milli, Lil Kim and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and as it turns out, she was just getting warmed up.
The pint-sized Brooklyn bomber recently revamped her song with a couple of her fellow rap it-girls, delivering a diamond hard remix featuring Latto and Yung Miami. The quick-and-dirty video, which dropped today, finds the three rappers linking up under a freeway overpass with a massive squad to shoot a gritty visual matching the throwback bad-gyal vibes of the boastful, aggressive song itself.
“You f*ck like a hundred n****s just for hundred band,” Lola raps in disbelief. “I don’t even got me hundred bands / I’m still gon’ me a hundred Ms with a hundred plans.” Latto echoes that sentiment from a loftier perspective, rapping, “Hundred bands, f*ck is a hundred bands?” She then brags, “Dropped a hundred on a pendant, that sh*t big as Lola.” Miami bats cleanup, snarking, “I ain’t got hundred mil, but I got it once I flew in.” Whew.
Watch Lola Brooke’s “Don’t Play With It (Remix)” video featuring Latto and Yung Miami above.
