Though Gaga went all in with method acting while playing Patrizia, she also revealed that she never took the next step — meeting Patrizia Reggiani in person to get a better idea of what she is like in real life, minus the tabloid fodder. “I only felt that I could truly do this story justice if I approached it with the eye of a curious woman who was interested in possessing a journalistic spirit so that I could read between the lines of what was happening in the film’s scenes,” she said, adding that “nobody was going to tell me who Patrizia Gucci was. Not even Patrizia Gucci.” Playing the role for such a long time — which Gaga says consisted of a year and a half — got in the singer-turned actress’ head. “I had some psychological difficulty at ...
After the Spears doc debuted in February, Timberlake issued a public apology to both his ex Spears and Jackson for the way he treated them. After Timberlake came off as callous and calculating in the years after his 2002 split from Britney in Framing, a number of outlets called for Justin to be called to task for the apparent pass he got from the music industry and pundits in the wake of what became known as “Nipple-gate.” Following the incident, Jackson was uninvited from the following week’s Grammy Awards and her videos were yanked from Viacom properties including MTV, CBS and Infinity Broadcasting. Timberlake, though, not only appeared at the Grammys, but was allowed to issue an apology at the event, and then went on to headline the SB halftime show in 2018, while...
Now that Britney has effectively been freed, FX and Hulu are following up their New York Times Presents documentary Framing Britney Spears with a deep dive into Janet Jackson’s ill-fated performance at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. Entitled Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson, the documentary will explore the events that went down that evening and the pop culture shift that followed. In the off chance that you need a recap, Jackson found herself at the crux of a professional and personal crisis when she took the stage with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl in 2004. Near the end of the halftime show, Timberlake briefly exposed Jackson’s breast to millions of viewers. The move left Timberlake’s legacy intact, but unfairly tarnished Jackson’s for years to com...
As many of her Instagram posts have over the past few months, the caption contained a reference to the conservatorship that has controlled her personal life and finances for the past 13 years. Some of Spears’ comments on social media have been cryptic, but this caption specifically mentions her “ma and dad” not letting her drive while she’s been under the conservatorship and asks, “can I play now ????” “On a SPECIAL note Stay classy ‘Murica and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do because that’s like a WHOLE LOT y’all !!!!” she wrote with a string of winky faces. “Let me explain myself … I’m saying in a crazy world like we have today that it’s pretty important to stay safe !!! Like we did for Covid y’all !!!! But still have fun … I...
Adele, she’s just like us — in one way, at least. Today, the tracklist for her upcoming album, 30, popped up on the listing for Target’s exclusive deluxe edition, and it revealed her alcoholic drink of choice: wine.

Alt-pop star Conan Gray hasn’t missed yet with his series of 2021 singles, from the dance-inspired “Overdrive” to the more tender “People Watching” and more. His latest release, the twinkling and racing “Telepath” continues his winning streak with a song that features Gray harmonizing with himself while relaying his feelings about an ex coming back around. — Lyndsey Havens BENEE, “Doesn’t Matter” New Zealand’s rising pop star BENEE is back with a slow-burning acoustic ballad “Doesn’t Matter,” which sounds as if its looped production was built around an old Mac DeMarco riff. But in the absence of the vibrant punchiness behind breakout hit “Supalonely,” BENEE’s talents as a vocalist and lyricist shi...
The pic of the nutty costume came after a busy weekend for Taylor, who helped open Saturday night’s (Oct. 30) 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland by singing an electronic-flavored cover of Rock Hall inductee Carole King’s “Will You Love me Tomorrow” before giving a moving induction tribute to the songwriter/singer. In her speech, Swift spoke about being raised by parents “who taught me the basic truths of life as they saw it,” among them that “Carole King is the greatest songwriter of all time.” That included a father who once told a woman he was dating that King’s breakup ode “It’s Too Late” was a song that she reminded him of. Swift added that King’s lyrics “speak to the true and honest … It is only right for them to be passed down like...

“Oh Na Na,” an effervescent, bilingual dance single, pushes Cabello to match Towers’ flow and swagger, to great success; following “Don’t Go Yet,” the pop star sounds more comfortable letting loose over Tainy’s frenetic drum assortment.

The new set was preceded by “Bad Habits” and “Shivers,” which have thus far peaked at No. 2 and No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, with “Bad Habits” having remained in the top 10 since its release.

There’s no place like Harryween!

Serving pure Wizard of Oz fantasy, the superstar donned a blue gingham dress with a bow in his hair, bright red leggings, bobby socks and a pair of the iconic ruby slippers as he crooned, “Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high/ There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby/ Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue/ And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.” Naturally, Styles also ran through his catalog of solo hits during the show, including “Only Angel,” “Lights Up,” “Watermelon Sugar,” and “Kiwi.” And of course the concert wasn’t complete without a ret...
