Lady Gaga Just Released Her New Song, ‘Stupid Love,’ and It's Incredible


Lady Gaga made her triumphant return to pop music on midnight Friday (February 28) with “Stupid Love,” her first solo single in nearly three years. And, my friends, it was well worth the wait.

The track is classic Gaga: big, bright, and booming, with eighties-style electronic production and an anthemic chorus. It’s a welcome return to form for the singer, whose last pop record, Joanne, was more stripped-down and acoustic than the shiny electro-dance of albums past. “Stupid Love” finds Gaga squarely back in club territory—it’s a song tailor-made for sweaty sing-alongs underneath a shimmery disco ball.

It’s also unlike anything on top 40 radio right now. Save for Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” the top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 is quite moody and downtempo—not a sugary bop in sight. If “Stupid Love” impacts radio (which fingers crossed it will), it could bring BPM and bombast back into pop. And who doesn’t need that right now?

The music video for “Stupid Love” is equally as colorful, starring Gaga as an alien princess of sorts who’s determined to bring love and light to her conflicted world. Watch the video (and hear the song) for yourself, below:

Gaga teased the video for “Stupid Love” earlier in the day on February 27. Again, the imagery—eccentric, over-the-top, and avant-garde—feels like classic Gaga.

The single art is equally as dynamic:

“Stupid Love” has had quite the journey. In January, a demo of the track leaked in full and quickly went viral. Fans loved it, and it was, confusingly, prematurely played in nightclubs, sporting events, and performed by drag queens. Gaga addressed the leak with a cheeky tweet essentially asking her Little Monsters to be patient:

But the wait for new music is over. Lady Gaga’s sixth studio album is on its way, though details and a release date are unknown at this time. Thank goodness “Stupid Love” is a supremely delicious jam that will keep us satiated for a while.

The Love Is Blind Finale Has Arrived—and It's a Wild Ride of Emotions


This post contains spoilers for Netflix’s Love Is Blind, so consider yourself warned.

Netflix dropped the finale of their latest reality show, Love Is Blind, on February 27 and, honestly, it’s much-watch programming. In brief, the show is about a bunch of single people who moved into a house and tried to figure out if they could find their spouses without ever seeing the person until after they got engaged. Once that happened, they went on a vacation to get to know each other better, went home, moved in, met each other’s friends and family, and had to decide whether or not to go through with their weddings.

I was actually surprised at how emotionally invested I was in these relationships after such a short time. Some stories are sweet, others trainwrecks. Basically, just like real life.

So, who actually said “I do” in the finale, and what did the internet have to say about it? Because you know people had thoughts. Let’s break it down:

Giannina and Damian: I don’t!

The finale got off to a shocking start when Damian said he was not willing to marry Giannina, citing her up and down emotions during their short relationship. She took off, Runway Bride-style, out of the venue and into the woods, where the poor thing fell in the mud. Honestly, Giannina should be the next Bachelorette—unless Netflix has them locked into non-compete clauses in their contracts. This woman belongs on reality television.

Kelly and Kenny: I don’t!

We Have a New Oscars Selfie, People—and It's So Good


Remember at the 2014 Academy Awards when host Ellen DeGeneres took the now-iconic “Oscars selfie” with several movie stars? Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong’o, and more celebrities all gathered around DeGeneres during the live broadcast to take the pic, and it soon went viral. Remember, this was before Kim Kardashian popularized the selfie, so this blurry pic was quite novel. Now, selfies are everywhere.

But Oscar selfies aren’t. That’s why what Charlize Theron just posted to her Instagram is so cool. On Tuesday, February 11 (two days after the 2020 Oscars), the Bombshell actor uploaded a new Oscars selfie, seemingly taken during the broadcast. It features herself alongside big names like Tom Hanks, Regina King, Salma Hayek, and Rami Malek, and it’s nothing short of legendary. Check it out for yourself, below. I believe we officially have a new Oscars selfie, my friends.

The 2020 Oscars wasn’t exactly the most eventful (or watched) broadcast in the show’s history. That being said, the South Korean film Parasite did have a historic night, taking home Best Picture, Best International Feature Film, Best Director (Bong Joon-ho), and Best Original Screenplay. It’s too bad Bong didn’t jump into this selfie!

“Thank you. After winning Best International Feature, I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax,” Bong said during his Best Director acceptance speech. “Thank you so much. When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is that ‘The most personal is the most creative.’ That quote is from our great Martin Scorsese. When I was in school, I studied Martin Scorsese’s films. Just to be nominated was a huge honor. I never thought I would win.”

Read our full recap of the 2020 Oscars here.

Blake Lively Jokes About All of Ryan Reynolds's Trolling: “It's Aggravating”


Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are known for trolling each other on social media. Whether she’s posting funny photos of him on his birthday or vice versa, this very hot couple clearly has a cheeky sense of humor.

Lively was finally asked about their penchant for trolling in a new interview for Good Morning America. (She was on promoting her new movie, The Rhythm Section, which hits theaters this Friday, January 31.) When the hosts brought up photos Reynolds posted for Lively’s birthday last August—in which she’s either slightly cropped out or making a funny face—she had the greatest response.

“It’s alarming to me how many of these photos he found, though, where I look like this,” she said, jokingly. “What is happening? But he looks handsome in all of them. I really gotta work on my photo face.”

“It’s aggravating, isn’t it?” host Robin Roberts asked Lively, to which she agreed, “It is aggravating.”

Of course, this is all in good fun. Lively hilariously quipped that she’s “working on” her next trolling against Reynolds. “I gotta dig something up.” Watch the interview clip for yourself, above.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have three daughters together; their youngest was born last summer. One key to making their family work, Lively says, is she and her husband don’t work at the same time.

“I admire people who find that what fulfills them is their art or their work, but what fulfills both me and my husband is our family,” she told Glamour in 2017. “Knowing that, everything else comes second. We’ve each given up stuff we loved in order to not work at the same time. I’m fortunate to be in a place now where I get to find the material—a book or script—early and develop it. So I know ahead of time that I’m going to be working on this job at this time. And we can plan around it.”

Kate Middleton Did a Photo Shoot for a 10-Year-Old, and It's Just Adorable


Kate Middleton has had a busy—and photography-filled—week. The palace recently released two beautiful portraits of Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge for a special exhibit commemorating 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.

And today (January 28), she posed for a very special shoot herself. Of course, Middleton is one of the most photographed women in the world. But this shoot was special. The royal popped by the National Portrait Gallery’s Hospital Programme at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, which showcased how the arts help children’s health, overall well-being, and happiness—a cause quite close to her heart. (Middleton is a patron of both organizations.)

While there, Luke Wheeler-Waddison, a 10-year-old heart patient, got the very special honor of photographing the duchess with one of the “rag wreaths” she was given as a gift. (People reports that the wreath will be headed to Princess Charlotte’s bedroom.)

He showed off his Polaroid for the official photographers at the event—and it looks like he did a great job. Talk about a cool souvenir, right? A photographer in the making, if you ask me.

“The Duchess joined children and their families who were taking part in a ‘Playful Portraits’ workshop, and helped them to make sets and characters for their own pop-up theatres! ?? The Duchess also visited Evelina’s Beach Ward to meet children who were taking part in the workshop at their bedsides,” Kensington Royal posted about the event on Instagram.

Kate Middleton is known to have a passion for photography. Along with the new portraits released this week, often the pictures Kensington Palace releases of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are taken by their mom.

Middleton revealed recently, though, that she and Prince William probably won’t have more kids any time soon. “I don’t think William wants any more,” she told a fan earlier this month, according to Hello!.

Augustinus Bader The Cream Review: Why It's Worth Every Cent


The most raved about secret in beauty this year wasn’t a magic facialist or Real Housewife-lauded injection, it was an unassuming moisturizer made by a 60-year-old German scientist who’d never worked in the industry, let alone had an Instagram following. And yet, despite having none of the traditional resources that makes a beauty brand an overnight success—like paid celebrity spokespeople, $1 million ad campaigns, or millennial pink packaging—Augustinus Bader became a sleeper hit purely through word of mouth.

In the nearly two years since it launched, AB’s “miracle cream” has gotten accolades from Ashley Graham, Kate Bosworth, and Victoria Beckham (who’s since launched a moisturizing primer with the brand). Glamour even gave it a Beauty Award for Best Moisturizer, a highly competitive category as you can surely imagine. So before I even uncapped the weighty blue-and-copper tube of its famed The Cream, which costs a cool $265 for 50 mL, I was basically set to fall in love with it—price tag be damned.

But the only kind of hype I pay real attention to is beauty editor hype; if my product-inundated colleagues are raving about it, I figure it has to stand out from the pack. And for weeks, every single editor I knew had told me about the cream in an attitude I can only describe as reverent. I was ready to experience my own Bader-sparked miracle.

Bizarrely, I didn’t immediately fall head over heels for it (don’t worry, a second plot twist will follow shortly). Sure, it was a good face cream. The light texture absorbed quickly and my skin looked decent, but it didn’t exactly wow me. I felt like a thin layer just wasn’t doing much in the moisturizing department—which, apparently, I later learned isn’t even what The Cream claims to do. It’s more of an overall skin rejuvenator. The brand also sells a Rich Cream for dry skin, which contains additions like avocado and argan oil to aide with extra hydration, but I began with the original thinking it’d be enough.

In order to get maximum effectiveness from the active ingredients, I did what a few other friends and makeup artists had advised and skipped all other products, except face wash. The Bader formula is based on TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex 8), a proprietary cocktail of over 40 different ingredients, including vitamins and amino acids. It’s meant to encourage regeneration and healing—Professor Bader actually discovered the formula while looking for solutions to help burn survivors heal quicker—and TFC8 is supposed to activate your stem cells, which go to work to repair fine lines, dark spots, and visible pores. I had heard that the ingredients within were enough to replace all other skin care, so I devoted myself to a one-step kind of lifestyle and waited for my skin to start looking like I had just walked out of a spa. And then I waited some more…
