Kim Petras wants out of her record deal with Republic Records, with the pop star unleashing a series of posts on X explaining why she’d rather be an independent artist going forward. On Tuesday (Jan. 20), Petras wrote bluntly, “I’m tired of having no control over my own life or career.” “I want to continue to self fund and self curate my own music,” she continued. “This is why I have formally requested to be dropped @RepublicRecords.” In another post, the German-born musician alleged that her label has “refused” to set a release date for her next album, Detour —…

I’m a nosy houseguest. If I spot a décor piece I think is chic, I have no reservations about asking where it’s from. One of my favorite answers to hear: Zara Home. If you were unaware, Zara not only offers trendsetting fashions but also curates a beautiful and unexpectedly affordable home collection. From designer-level furnishings and elegant kitchenware to luxurious linens and fashionable décor items (can’t forget the extensive number of scented candles), Zara Home has all the makings of a Scandi-minimalist villa.While my chicest friends were decorating, I spent well over an hour browsing Zara Home, racking up a…
Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales has been called the last decent tech baron. It’s sounds like a flattering label, although one I usually associate more with yacht-dwelling meatheads who feed their herds of cattle homegrown macadamia nuts; the kind of person who can most recently be found wining and dining with the President of the United States and his coterie of MAGA sycophants.Wales, on the other hand, keeps things relatively low-key. Even as the site he founded, Wikipedia, turns 25 years old this month, he seems more interested in fixing his home Wi-Fi than joining the tech elite’s performative power games. He…

The hunt for more natural sunscreens is onAmparo Garcia/Shutterstock Sunscreens enhanced with lignin, a component of wood, can have sun protection factors (SPFs) that exceed 180. They also seem to last longer and penetrate less into the skin than existing products, potentially making them safer. Sunscreens are an important defence against skin cancer, but, in recent years, there has been growing unease and confusion regarding their safety. A recent US survey found that 14 per cent of young adults think that daily sunscreen use is more harmful than direct sun exposure. This has arisen since the US Food and Drug…

Who was the better 2000s-era supergroup — Audioslave or Velvet Revolver? That’s the big debate this week on Chuck’s Fight Club as part of the Loudwire Nights radio show and as usual, you get to have the final say.Audioslave answered the question of what’s next for member of two of the ’90s biggest bands. Rage Against the Machine had essentially gone on hiatus after 2000’s Renegades album, but guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk still had plenty musically to say. Seeking a new outlet, they pulled in Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell for three studio albums, each…

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Series Announced I loved both Niels Arden Oplev’s and David Fincher’s adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so I can’t help but get excited about the series adaptation I first learned about through Variety. Lisbeth Salander is one of the most compelling characters I’ve encountered in psychological/crime thriller fiction, and Larsson did plan…

Paramount Network As the creator of Paramount’s hit neo-Western series “Yellowstone,” Taylor Sheridan has developed a reputation for being the sole creative force behind his own projects. In fact, Sheridan has shut down the idea of working with writers’ rooms in the past, namely on his most popular Dutton drama. It’s no secret that Sheridan pens most of his shows by himself, but the reason makes sense when you hear it. “We tried to put a room together, and there was no time to put a room together,” Sheridan told…
Netflix. The world’s biggest streaming service, with hundred of millions of subscribers.But it doesn’t have hundreds of millions of movies to watch. Or even hundreds of thousands. Does it even have thousands of movies to watch?This is one of the curious aspects of this exceedingly popular platform: At any given moment, nobody knows exactly how many titles they have on offer. When you walked into a video store back in the day, you could see the size of their catalog with your own eyes. Of course, you also ran the risk that they could sell out of a particular title on…
Listen via: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Podcasts | More Platforms Kyle Meredith With… takes a deep dive into The Rip, Netflix’s tense, morally slippery crime thriller, with conversations featuring Sasha Calle and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Both actors unpack a film that looks like a cops-and-guns action movie on the surface, but quickly turns into a psychological pressure cooker about trust, temptation, and what people do when life-changing money suddenly appears in front of them. With Ben Affleck and Matt Damon anchoring the ensemble, the movie largely unfolds inside a single stash house, where alliances shift and motives stay just opaque enough to keep everyone…

I Wrote This for Attention by Lukas Gage “At the end of sixth grade, I killed a kid.” Great opening line to the next big mystery-thriller, right? Something layered in hardboiled neo-noir from the likes of Elmore Leonard or Jim Thompson. Except it’s really the opening line of I Wrote This for Attention from rising young star Lukas Gage’s autobiography. Not many 30-year-olds have lived enough to spin out a memoir. But Gage, recognizable from any number of roles including the Road House remake and Season One of The White Lotus, lays out his life so far in a manner so…

Named for the tiny Mariana island in the Philippine Sea that played host to the Irish national football team’s training camp ahead of the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Tokyo, Saipan is Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa’s fictionalised spin on a sporting travesty that still causes fierce debate: captain Roy Keane’s abrupt departure from the squad following a disastrous confrontation with manager Mick McCarthy. As a stony, serious Keane (an expertly cast Éanna Hardwicke) returns from injury with the expectations of a nation riding on his shoulders, he finds it impossible to get anyone – least of all the Irish Football Federation –…
Last night (January 17), Bruce Springsteen made an unannounced appearance at New Jersey’s Light of Day WinterFest — a regular haunt, as far as his “surprise” performances go. While joining headliners Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers onstage at the non-profit’s event, Springsteen strongly denounced the ongoing ICE raids in Minnesota and dedicated his 1978 song “The Promised Land” to Renee Good, the mother recently killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Watch a fan-shot video of the moment below.“This next song is probably one of my greatest songs,” the Boss said before playing “The Promised Land.” “And I don’t want…

You might not have to ring in your 100th birthday with a dairy-free, egg-free cakeXinhua/Shutterstock Longevity pioneers like Bryan Johnson are going to extreme lengths in the quest for immortality, but for those of us who hope to reach 100 with less commitment, dietary tweaks are typically the first port of call. Going plant-based is often recommended, but now a study in China has revealed that most centenarians there eat meat, which may be particularly helpful for those who are underweight. Meat is a rich source of certain amino acids that seem to affect a signalling molecule called mTOR, which…
NBC Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) is a fun goofball and a lovable guy. While he just makes the cut for one of the top 10 best characters from “The Office,” though, he has his fair share of questionable moments. In fact, he’s done some pretty bad stuff. The guy can be sarcastic. He antagonizes his co-workers when he wants to. He drives girlfriends like Karen (Rashida Jones) and Katy (Amy Adams) crazy with his clear feelings for Pam (Jenna Fischer). Heck, he even kisses Pam when she’s engaged. He spends…

Amazon is one of the most-used apps on my phone. I’m constantly on it, restocking household essentials, supplements, and beauty products. I’ve even fallen victim to the vibration plate trend, which I bought there. But when it comes to clothing, Amazon has never really been my first—or second—stop. Not because there’s anything wrong with Amazon fashion, but because it’s not where I expect to find high-quality elevated basics. Or at least, that’s what I thought until I came across the Anrabess crewneck sweater.About a month ago, while mindlessly adding items to my Amazon cart, I found myself typing “black crewneck…
