Taylor Swift Jokes That She’s the ‘4th Haim Sister’: See More Reactions to ‘Gasoline’ Remix

Haim are featured on Swift’s Evermore, on the murder-mystery country track “No Body, No Crime.” Este, Danielle and Alana were more than happy to welcome their pal into the fold, writing in a tweet, “Since we released wimpiii in June, Taylor had always told us that ‘Gasoline’ was her favorite.

Trace Lysette on Debut Rap Single ‘SMB’: ‘I Needed Another Outlet for My Artistry’
What made you want to get into music with “SMB”?In this business, we’re constantly evolving and showing the world more layers of who we are. I think that’s always a struggle with talent: this relationship of trying to figure out how to present your most authentic self to the world, and hopefully be loved for it. I grew up on hip-hop, had Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown plastered on my walls as an adolescent, and I always wanted to dive into that space. Acting can be so limiting, especially as a trans actor. You just get what’s thrown at you, and a lot of times, it’s crumbs. I needed another outlet for my artistry. I really wanted the song to have a message. Sometimes I feel like it might be going over people’s heads, cis people’s heads. Maybe they don’t quite get the meaning of being a self-made b...
Courtney Love Says She Stopped Acting Due to #MeToo Incidents
Hole frontwoman Courtney Love recently revealed that she’d stopped acting — something she said she loved doing — because of “a bunch of #MeToo” incidents. While she had memorable moments in 1986’s Sid & Nancy, Love’s first major role was in 1996’s The People vs. Larry Flynt, which earned her a Best Actress Golden Globe nomination for playing Althea Leasure Flynt. Subsequently, Love appeared in films including in 200 Cigarettes, Julie Johnson, Man on the Moon and Trapped. But she stepped away from the screen for a time, as she detailed in an Instagram post. Love writes, “For a few years, because of Milos Forman, I was a professional actress and a movie star. It was fun as hell. I was nominated for best actress, for a Golden Globe. One day I might talk about i...
