All the Hidden References on Taylor Swift's New Magazine Cover


Taylor Swift appears on the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly, and a lot of the accompanying interview revolves around her habit of dropping hidden clues and messages for fans about her new music. Given the topic, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the singer used her appearance on the cover to give even more hints about TS7.

The main source of speculation is Swift’s jacket on the cover, which is covered with tons of different buttons and pins. The text on the magazine reads, “Each of Taylor’s buttons is an Easter egg! Go to page 26 to decode them.” Naturally, Swifties are taking a serious magnifying glass to each button and offering their theories about what they mean.

Here’s what they’ve come up with so far:

1. Selena Gomez.

Some fans think this could mean an upcoming collaboration.

2. Her pet cats.

Swift has three cats, and they all seem to be pictured on the jacket.

3. The Dixie Chicks.

Another potential collab? Or a tour guest?

4. Game of Thrones characters.

Yep, those are the Stark sisters. Another pin is dedicated to Danerys Targaryn. Maybe she just really loves the show, or maybe the characters represent something deeper.

5. Drake.

Some people think this might be a collaboration, or a signal that Swift could release a double album like the Toronto rapper.

6. Grey’s Anatomy favorites.

Meredith Grey and Cristina Yang are in there, along with a heart that says “My Person.” That’s led some Twitter users to think there might be a song on TS7 named after the famous Grey’s Anatomy line. Also, keep in mind one of Swift’s cats is named after Meredith Grey.

7. The cast of Friends.

Swift loves the show.

8. Faith Hill.

In addition to the Dixie Chicks, there’s a Faith Hill nod. Maybe she’s planning a major country collab or drawing inspiration from the Mississippi singer.

9. Troye Sivan.

Fans are crossing their fingers that this means Sivan could be joining Swift on tour.

10. “Track 5.”

Swifties have a running joke that “Track 5” on her albums is always the most personal. This might be a clue she’s planning something special for the new album’s fifth song.

11. Law & Order.

A button that reads “Dun Dun” might be a direct reference to the popular Law & Order intro noise.

12. Mister Rogers.

One Twitter user thinks this might actually be a clever callback to Swift’s birthplace in Pennsylvania.

13. “I Tried” on a tombstone.

Swift said the album gets emotional. Some fans believe a tombstone with a flower that says “I tried” represents the record’s more intense moments.

14. Cats The Musical.

Swift is appearing in the film adaption of this popular show, due out this holiday season.

15. “Calm.”

Swift yells, “Je suis calme!” during her video for “ME!”

16. “Awesome.”

This word plays an important role on Swift’s song “ME!”

17. A rainbow heart.

Rainbows are a major part of Swift’s new aesthetic.

18. Seven pastel hearts.

Obviously, this symbolizes her seven albums.

Kylie Jenner Is Officially the Youngest 'Self-Made' Billionaire, According to Forbes Magazine


At a mere 21 years old, Kylie Jenner is officially the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, according to Forbes magazine. And she got there faster than the previous title-holder, Mark Zuckerberg, who reached the milestone at age 23. It also means she’s worth more than her family, including sisters Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kendall…and, yes, even momager Kris.

The bulk of Jenner’s worth comes, of course, from her mega-successful Kylie Cosmetics brand, which expanded via an exclusive deal with Ulta last year. Forbes notes that over the first six weeks at Ulta, Kylie Cosmetics sold $54.5 million worth of products. Based on (conservative) projections, they estimate that Kylie Cosmetics is worth $900 million—and Jenner owns the entire company. Adding in the cash that she’s already made, Jenner is a billionaire. “I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future,” she told Forbes. “But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back.”

No matter your opinions on the Kardashian-Jenners, that’s incredibly impressive. But what many are taking issue with online is the designation of Jenner as “self-made,” given the rich and famous family that she comes from. (You may remember a similar conversation last July when she was almost to the billion-dollar mark.)

“She founded the company. She started the company with money that she made—$250,000 from modeling,” Kerry Dolan, the assistant managing editor of Forbes explained on Today. “She owns 100% of it. We know she comes from a wealthy family, but she started the business and she owns it so, in our books, she’s self-made.”

Some people on the Internet felt differently, of course. “‘Self-made’ is so delusional too,” wrote one Twitter user. “She certainly had a head start with money in this world, every resource already at her fingertips, and a mighty nice cushion of money to fall back on had she failed. Someone like Mark Z actually innovated and created his place in the world.”

But Jenner has defenders, too. “Kylie Jenner made most of her money on her own,” said one on Twitter. “She has a business mind and honestly, has worked her ass off. Just because you come from spotlight doesn’t mean the spotlight made you. Lot of entrepreneurs out there that came from multimillionaire /billionaire parents who weren’t.”

Whether you want to categorize Jenner’s success as “self-made” or not, there’s really no denying the magnitude of it.

Rachel McAdams Wore Versace and a Breast Pump for Her Latest Magazine Photo Shoot


Rachel McAdams has been keeping a low profile lately—in fact, she kept her recent pregnancy seriously under wraps, and has only just started to speak publicly about her 7-month-old son with boyfriend Jamie Linden. But in her latest fashion editorial, the actress is sending a message to new moms like her.

McAdams appears on the cover of Girls. Girls. Girls., photographed by Claire Rothstein, the magazine’s founder and editor. In the shoot, she’s wearing designers like Adam Selman, Cushnie, Bulgari… and, in one picture, Versace and a breast pump. The photographer shared the story behind that last look on her personal Instagram.

“Obviously #rachelmcadams looks incredible and was quite literally the dream to work with but also this shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding,” Rothstein wrote in the caption. “We had a mutual appreciation disagreement about who’s idea it was to take this picture but I’m still sure it was hers which makes me love her even more.”

“Breastfeeding is the most normal thing in the world and I can’t for the life of me imagine why or how it is ever frowned upon or scared of,” Rothstein continued. “I don’t even think it needs explaining but just wanted to put this out there, as if it even changes one person’s perception of something so natural, so normal, so amazing then that’s great. Besides she’s wearing Versace and Bulgari diamonds and is just fucking major. Big shout out to all the girls.”

McAdams certainly does look amazing—and anything that helps make breastfeeding something everyone feels comfortable speaking about is a good thing. Since Rothstein shared the image and the story behind it, social media users have been praising the actress. “HELLO WORLD. THIS IS RACHEL MCADAMS BREAST PUMPING IN VERSACI AND BULGARI. I HAVE NEVER SCREAMED SO HARD IN MY LIFE,” one tweeted. Another called McAdams a “true queen” for pumping during her shoot.

McAdams told People that motherhood “the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, hands down.” She hasn’t shared much on the topic, but in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Gigi Hadid Looks… Quite Different In Her Latest *Love* Magazine Cover


Seeing Gigi Hadid on the cover of a fashion magazine isn’t exactly surprising, but her latest shoot can definitely be characterized as… memorable.

The 23-year-old model fronts Love magazine’s 10th anniversary issue. Though, you wouldn’t know it if it weren’t for the cover line identifying Hadid as the model underneath what’s perhaps the most terrifying bunny mask ever. Donnie Darko could never.

“The golden hare in the golden hour,” wrote Love alongside an Instagram photo revealing its latest cover star. “@gigihadid as you’ve never seen her before.” (You’ve got that right, Love.)

Hadid is photographed in a pink dress, her long hair in waves… and a teeth-baring bunny face that is made to feel that much creepier thanks to the adorable puppy by her side.

In a second Love cover, Gigi’s face actually makes an appearance, with a Quailman-style belt-as-headband set of (far less terrifying) bunny ears.

“BUNNY LOVE ?? Played dress-up for @thelovemagazine’s 10th birthday cover ?????☁️,” Hadid captioned a photo of the cover on her Instagram account.

This isn’t the first time Hadid has made headlines for her work with Love: In 2016, she appeared in the magazine’s iconic “Advent Calender” wearing a fishnet bikini; in 2017, she celebrated the same series by showing off her boxing and volleyball skills. Whatever your feelings on this particular shoot, you know that whenever the model links up with Love, the result certainly won’t be boring.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk Confirm Their Engagement in New Issue of 'Goop' Magazine


2018 is off to a great start for Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk. Not only are they the cover stars of Goop magazine’s second edition, but inside the new “Sex & Love”-themed issue, they’re finally confirming their engagement.

The magazine, which goes on sale this week, attacks its romantic theme from all angles. The issue’s main story is a “deeply personal conversation” between Paltrow and relationship psychologist Esther Perel about finding love the second time around. Elsewhere in the mag, besides features on romantic getaways, couple’s therapy, and “luxurious, toxin-free yoni products,” Jean Godfrey-June writes about the “intense and often fleeting energy” of crushes, and Jancee Dunn shares an essay about “the sad reality of the orgasm gap.” And in an accompanying online video, Falchuk will take Goop’s signature “How Goopy Are You?” quiz.

The cover of the magazine shows a beamin Paltrow being embraced from behind by Falchuk. In another image from the cover shoot, captured by Steven Pan, Falchuk holds Paltrow close and kisses her on the cheek while she grins at the camera and positions her hand just so to show off her engagement ring, which looks to be a simple band set with a huge circular gemstone.

PHOTO: Goop

Inside the second issue of her namesake magazine, Paltrow opens up about her “conscious uncoupling” from Chris Martin and impending second marriage to Falchuk. “Personally, at midlife, I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy,” she writes about Falchuk. “For the first time, I feel like I’m in an adult relationship that is sometimes very uncomfortable—because he sort of demands a certain level of intimacy and communication that I haven’t been held to before. What came up in the first couple of years of our relationship was how incapable I was in this realm—how I feared intimacy and communication.”

Ahead of their official engagement announcement inside Vol. 2 of Goop—and several weeks after Entertainment Tonight reported that they’ve actually been engaged for over a year—Paltrow and Falchuk confirmed the big news to Good Morning America on Monday. “We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship,” they said in a joint statement.

Read all about Paltrow and Falchuk’s relationship in the “Love & Sex” issue of Goop, available on newsstands and online on Tuesday, January 9 for $14.99.

Jessica Chastain Responds to Backlash From That All-White 'L.A. Times' Magazine Cover


Over the past couple of days, the Los Angeles Times’ Envelope magazine, which is dedicated to awards season, has managed to piss off a lot of people on Twitter, thanks to its December 21 cover, which featured a group of all white (and overwhelmingly blond) actresses. The women pictured in the group portrait—Margot Robbie, Diane Kruger, Saoirse Ronan, Annette Bening, Kate Winslet and Jessica Chastain—were placed above the coverline, “A Shift in Focus: Actresses Call for a Change in the Way Many Stories Are Told.”

The article was a roundtable-style story discussing working in Hollywood and how women are treated onscreen. The topic was definitely timely, but again, there were no women of color featured—at all. And a conversation about diversity and equality in storytelling can’t happen if you’re not representing all the stakeholders.

The backlash on social media pointing out the lack of women of color on the cover and in the feature was quick—and heavy. “It’s time white actresses speak up when their WOC colleagues are ignored,” one user wrote.

“I don’t understand how after all the conversations on #OscarSoWhite, White Feminism, etc a cover like this could be approved with this headline,” another tweeted. “And did any of these A-List actresses demand that actresses of color and other diverse demos be included?”

Jessica Chastain, who stars in Molly’s Game, responded to her participation in a series of tweets on Saturday evening and clarified in some responses that the cover focused on celebrating female-lead films. She admitted that it wasn’t a good look for the Los Angeles Times to omit women of color on its cover and called for more inclusive storytelling. She then prompted her followers to tell her their favorite WOC female-lead 2017 films. In her next tweet, she incredulously told her followers that she can’t even name five 2017 films that featured WOC leads. And it’s not for a loss of memory: That’s how much women of color and their experiences continue to be underrepresented, ignored, and erased in the film industry.

After she responded, many on Twitter continued to call her out for knowingly being part of a cover shoot that featured only white women and blatantly contradicts the values she promotes—and suggested that she could have used her platform to change the conversation instead. (The other actresses on the cover still haven’t commented at the time of publish.)

It’s incredibly important in the male-dominated industry of Hollywood to advocate for telling women’s stories. But they need to be inclusive of all women—not just white women—and this cover illustrates the absolutely urgent need for that.
