Dua Lipa's 10 Best (and Worst) Songs of All Time


“No Goodbyes” is a pretty song, sure, but, again, I just have a hard time remembering it when Lipa has so many slammers in her catalog.

5. “Boys Will Be Boys”

Like “Good in Bed,” “Boys Will Be Boys” is also jarring on Future Nostalgia —not for its sound but its sentiment. It’s a very serious song about the innate differences between men and women. That’s a great, powerful statement to make, but it’s a bit off in the context of this album, which up until “Boys Will Be Boys,” is a full-on dance party about frothier topics.

4. “No Lie” with Sean Paul

Lipa adopts a bit of a reggae-tinged accent on this tropical pop track, which in itself is just off.

3. “High” with Whethan

This sexed-up song from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack never really takes off and has a beat drop that’s too muffled to properly enjoy.

2 “Room for 2”

“Room for 2” is one of the only songs Lipa didn’t perform on her 2017 tour, and there’s a reason for that. It’s simply too damn sleepy, with a chorus that, sorry, sounds like a creepy children’s nursery rhyme.

1. “My Love” with Wale, Major Lazer and Wiz Kid

The biggest crime here is that Lipa gets lost in the shuffle of her collaborators. That, and the fact the track is generic unz-unz fare. She has far better club songs. (Please see: My entire “best” list.)

Selena Gomez: Kissing Dylan Sprouse Was ‘One of the Worst Days of My Life’


As far as first kisses go, it sounds like Selena Gomez‘s was pretty darn awkward. Of course, that moment is stressful for just about everyone, but can you imagine it happening on the set of a TV show in front of the entire crew…and possibly your actual crush?

That’s what Gomez had to deal with. During a visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show, she revealed details about this defining moment in her life, even though it wasn’t exactly her favorite memory. The year was 2006 and Gomez had a guest-starring role on Disney’s hit show The Suite Life of Zach & Cody, starring twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Obviously, this was before she starred in Wizards of Waverly Place.

First and foremost, she actually had a huge crush on Dylan’s twin brother Cole, who she would not be kissing. “I was obsessed with that show, and I thought we were going to be together,“ she said of the Sprouse now known for his role as Jughead Jones on The CW’s Riverdale. This is not new information. Back in September, Gomez posted an Instagram about her 11-year-old affections. “Apparently my heart was very conflicted between Juan and Cole Sprouse when I was 11,” she wrote.

“Always Juan-upping me,” Cole replied to the post at the time. Reader, we do not know who this Juan boy is. Apologies.

But back to that fateful day in 2006. For episode “A Midsummer’s Nightmare,” Gomez had to kiss Dylan on set and it did not go well. “It was my first kiss — [and] on-camera! It was one of the worst days of my life!“ she said to Clarkson.

Gomez has described this kiss before. “I actually leaned in to kiss him, and I had my eyes closed a little too early and I ended up missing, like, half of his lips,“ she previously told Twist Magazine, according to MTV. “So it ended up being the most awkward kiss in the world…I was 12, so it was okay and it was good. Thank goodness he is such an awesome guy!”

Luckily, Dylan is now dating supermodel Barbara Palvin and working on a number of projects, Cole is dating Lili Reinhart, and Selena Gomez is, well, Selena Gomez. It seems like it all worked out just fine for everyone…except for maybe Juan.

Peter Weber Says This Season's Bachelor Finale Is the Worst Thing He's Ever Gone Through


If she would have said that she wanted to give things with you another shot before you went on The Bachelor, would you have said yes, or would you have said, ‘No, I need to give The Bachelor a try?’

Peter: Well, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I would have said, yes, I need to give this opportunity a try with Hannah. That’s just my honest answer from the heart.

Is there anything you didn’t know when you watched the premiere last Monday? Any surprises you weren’t previously aware of?

Peter: I don’t think I realized how funny Victoria F. was! Just from her comments in the interviews, that girl is hysterical. But other than that, I don’t think there was anything insane that I didn’t know of. It’s just cool to see, because you’re not in the house, you’re not in the mansion, it’s kind of cool to see the girls and how they interact together.

John Fleenor

Did you know how they reacted to Hannah being there?

Peter: Well, I had an idea, but again, I didn’t know she was coming that first night. I was just as surprised as they were. I was really grateful they were so understanding when I went in to talk to them and explain why, but when she came back during the group date, I knew that was going to be awkward and uncomfortable. They reacted how I would if I were in their shoes, so I wasn’t mad about that. But it’s kind of cool for the first time to see the girls interact when I’m not there.

Looking back, what would you have told yourself heading into that first night as the Bachelor?

Peter: I want to say guard your heart more, but then I don’t, because I don’t regret that. That’s just who I am, and I’m someone that wears it on my sleeve. I don’t know if I would do anything different, but if I had to say something, maybe it would be that.

Peter Weber and Hannah Ann exchange smiles
John Fleenor

You haven’t said if you’re engaged, but are you happy with how things turned out?

Peter: Yes. I can say I’m happy. I couldn’t have expected it to work the way it did, but I’m happy with where I’m at right now.

Is there still more to come, as we’ve seen the last few seasons? I mean, things haven’t really ended just because the finale has been filmed.

Peter: [Laughs] You guys will have to tune in to find out! That’s all I can give you! I want to tell you so bad, but I can’t!

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Lady Gaga's 10 Best (and Worst) Songs of All Time


“Do What U Want” is a complete misfire. The song’s creepy lyrical content, mixed with who’s featured on it, just makes it un-listenable. So much so that Gaga removed it from streaming platforms in January 2019 in light of the sexual misconduct allegations against R.Kelly and went on to say she regrets releasing the song.

4. “Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)”

Another filler track off Born This Way, “Highway Unicorn” sounds like six different songs rolled into one. The elements separated are actually quite good—the thumping bass-line at the beginning is magnetic—but together it’s a bit of a cluster.

[embedded content]

3. “Jewels N’ Drugs” (feat. · T.I., Too $hort, and Twista)

The same critique goes to “Jewels N’ Drugs,” Gaga’s bizarre foray into hip-hop that fans would rather forget.

[embedded content]

2. “Hey Girl” (feat. Florence Welch)

“Hey Girl” isn’t a terrible song; it’s just a disappointing one. For two powerhouses like Gaga and Florence Welch to come together and release a track that sounds like a tense phone call is just, I don’t know, a bummer? Here’s hoping they have a follow-up duet somewhere in their arsenals.

1. “Christmas Tree”

“Christmas Tree” is arguably the only truly horrific song Gaga has ever released. With clanging techno beats and lyrics that turn holiday decorations into sexual puns, feel free to leave this off your Christmas playlist (and all your other playlists, too).

The 5 Best (and Worst) Friends Episodes of All Time


Synopsis: Monica gets the wrong impression that Chandler is sexually attracted to sharks, so she picks up a documentary tape in order to seduce him.

Why it’s garbage: It’s a silly, nonsensical—not to mention creepy—storyline between two intelligent adults.

[embedded content]

3. “The One With the Race Car Bed” (season 3, episode 7)

Synopsis: Monica accidentally has a child’s race car bed delivered to her apartment instead of a proper mattress; Ross bonds with Rachel’s dad at brunch by…making fun of Rachel.

Why it’s garbage: Name something less exciting than a furniture delivery. You can’t. Also, leave Rachel alone!

[embedded content]

4. “The One With the Evil Orthodontist” (season 1, episode 20)

Synopsis: Rachel becomes embroiled in a love triangle between her ex-fiancé, Barry, and the friend he left her for, Mindy.

Why it’s garbage: Did we really have to give Barry the monster orthodontist more screen time? He doesn’t even get John Tuckered—Mindy takes him back, despite the fact he cheated on her with Rachel. Ridiculous!

[embedded content]

5. “The One With the Breast Milk” (season 2, episode 2)

Synopsis: Ross gets immaturely grossed out after Phoebe tastes Carol’s breast milk.

Why it’s garbage: The first of many times Ross proved himself to be a reductive man child.

Britney Spears's 10 Best (and Worst) Songs of All Time


That same note applies to “It Should Be Easy,” which turns BritBrit into a robot and features an EDM breakdown that sounds dated upon delivery.

[embedded content]

4. “Pretty Girls” (with Iggy Azalea)

“Pretty Girls” is, sadly, just a lukewarm attempt at recreating Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea’s song “Problem.” Everything from the chanty, bratty chorus to Azalea’s sleepy rap just feels off—and like a regression for Spears.

[embedded content]

3. “Tik Tik Boom” (feat. T.I.)

“Tik Tik Boom” is catchy, sure, but Spears’s voice is practically indiscernible in it, and the lyrics in T.I.’s verse are inexcusable. (“She like the way I eat her, beat her, beat her
Treat her like an animal somebody call PETA.” Um, excuse me?)

[embedded content]

2. “Chillin’ With You” (feat. Jamie Lynn)

It’s nice that Spears featured her sister Jamie Lynn on “Chillin’ With You,” but the song itself is a bit underwhelming. Matchy-matchy lyrics and a head-scratching chorus are ultimately the cause of its downfall.

[embedded content]

1. “Private Show”

Spears really stretched and played with her voice on her 2016 album, Glory. In some cases, like the song “What You Need,” she triumphs, and on others, well…I’ll let this track speak for itself. “Private Show,” unfortunately, is an unlistenable song—and I say that with the upmost love and respect for Britney Jean Spears. This one should’ve been left on the cutting room floor.
