The Lollapalooza 2027 lineup dropped last week, and everyone’s mad that their favs aren’t on it. In the chorus. We’re kinda sad about no RHCP. But we’ve got Limp Bizkit, 5SOS, The Manganiyar Seduction and Olivia Dean – one of the few female musicians to headline the festival. Come be the man I need, Olivia!
Smelling revenge. Remember Ally Louks? Anyway, Louks is now publishing a book, Under Your Nose, on the subject. Hope her haters get a whiff of this success. Melting fast. Snoop Dogg, patron saint of side hustles, has had a wine label, a cooking show, a cereal brand, a doggo fashion line and an animated children’s YouTube series. Bombay. The JD? Track food trends and invent winning flavours. He’s hiring worldwide. Lowkey want to apply. Making it shine. Only a month to go until the Victorious reboot drops, and for Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) to get the love she deserves. Vega returns to Hollywood Arts as a struggling actor, and the snarky new gen of artist protégées loves the lore. They’re also competitive and ready to kick ass on stage – something we didn’t see Tori and her friends do. So psyched for this. Clucking sad. RIP Chicken Shop Date. She’s reportedly developing a romcom. Please let it feature her deadpan, clumsy banter. And can Andrew Garfield, Paul Mescal or Billie Eilish star in it? Hold the chicken. Taking a leap. That moment in Super Mario when a mushroom pops up and just… rolls right off the edge, disappearing into the bottom? So annoying. Let’s-a go! Fitting it in. Most of us tap out at the higher levels of Tetris, when our thumbs can’t keep up with the shower of bricks. Are we even playing the same game?
The PhD student’s thesis on the politics of smell in modern and contemporary prose got her got trolled on X in 2024. Now, at 54, he’s looking for a taste tester for his ice-cream company, Dr. It pays $10K. After 12 years of awkwardly flirting with practically every star over nugs, Amelia Dimoldenberg is ending her cult show. Now, 40 years in, players have discovered that if they jump to the top of the screen, they can pick up their mushroom. It’s a bizarre technique in which players drum their fingers against the back of the controller so fast it pushes the D-pad into the thumb, hitting inputs 30 times faster.
Incels argued that studying the humanities was irrelevant and that women “always got useless degrees”. The pro move: To pull on a glove and start “rolling”.
Drawing blood. Elite scammer Elizabeth Holmes has finally met her match. Nathan Fielder quietly made a documentary about the Theranos founder before she went to prison. Fielder knows how to blur reality and fiction: Participants on The Rehearsal thought they were auditioning for a real singing show. He’s tricked Congress lawmakers, pilots, producers. Who blinks first on You Can See Everything, Holmes or Fielder?
