Everybody you know is probably in Iceland right now. And they’re obsessed with it—for good reason. The Nordic island may be just a quick flight from the East Coast (less than six hours, to be exact), but from the moment you arrive it feels like another planet. Specifically, Iceland’s capital city of Reykjavik is an excellent place to call home, whether you’re a first-time visitor or repeat traveler. We recently had the luxury of cruising around its Instagrammable landscapes in the new Mercedes EQE 500 4MATIC Sedan, which features its...

Nicki Minaj has not been to the VMAs for a few years, but the show she just gave us just made up for all the lost time. The rapper gave big Barbie tingz energy and was draped in all pink everything—from her hair to her shoelaces—to start the show, and then quite literally had holograms of pink panthers show up later. The iconic rapper took us down memory lane too, delivering portions of “Beez in the Trap,” “Moment 4 Lyfe,” “Super Bass” and that “Monster” verse. Arturo Holmes//Getty ImagesTaylor Swift...

Olivia Rodrigo decided not to spend her Sunday at tonight's MTV VMAs despite being one of the night's most heavily-nominated guests. Rodrigo didn't post her whereabouts on social media; her last post featured her in New York City, not far from where the VMAs were. Rodrigo is nominated tonight for Video of the Year (“Brutal”), Best Pop Song (“Traitor”), Best Longform (“Driving Home 2 U”), and Best Editing (“Brutal”). Rodrigo may have decided, since she is not performing and is either nominated in more minor or hyper-competitive categories, to skip...

On Friday night, Olivia Rodrigo left Electric Lady Studio in New York City wearing a vintage inspired pop punk look reminiscent of a Y2K Avril Lavigne.

Rodrigo had her gorgeous brunette locks...

On Wednesday, Angelina Jolie strutted from an office building in Beverly Hills wearing all black in an outfit that was half form-fitting and half loose and casual, but entirely chic. Her cropped black tank top showed off her abs and paired with low rise black pants that draped in loose waves around her legs as she walked. The Academy Award winning actress paired the outfit with chunky black sandals and accessorized with an ICARE quilted tote by Yves Saint Laurent made of lambskin and detailed with gold chains. She had...

If you could spot Earth from the galactic retro ride pictured on Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia album cover, and zoomed through space toward Europe, then south to Croatia, and further to the heart of the Balkans, there, in Pristina, Kosovo, on a sweet summer night in August, you would find Dua Lipa stepping out onto stage—at home.It’s possible, too, you would glean the screams of the crowd, the energy extending far beyond the lush beech tree hood of Germia Park as Lipa’s performance kicked off the return of the Sunny...

There’s a prickly kind of thrill to having coffee with someone who is teetering between anonymity and fame—something about the mix of caffeine and clairvoyance makes even the most jaded culture journalist remember why she started doing this in the first place.I can tell the waiter at this hip TriBeCa hotel café knows the feeling, as he shakily places a mug of black coffee in front of Devon Ross, a clean-faced beauty with a raven-colored ’70s shag cut. On the morning in question, we are a few days away from...

Olivia Wilde was candid in her Variety cover interview about being served custody papers by her ex Jason Sudeikis while on stage doing her CinemaCon presentation for Don't Worry Darling, her choice to keep her relationship with Harry Styles private, and the way tabloids have treated her.With the CinemaCon incident, Wilde was explicit about her feelings—and how her children with Sudeikis, eight-year-old son Otis and five-year-old daughter Daisy, were the real victims of the public spectacle.“I hated that this nastiness distracted from the work of so many different people and...

Spoilers ahead. The second season finale of Only Murders in the Building takes us back to the beginning—not of the season, but of the entire series. To wrap up the mystery of Bunny Folger’s death, we have to go all the way back to All Is Not OK in Oklahoma, the Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) podcast that first brought Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short) together. You see, the subject of that podcast, the missing Chickasha, Oklahoma woman Becky Butler, is actually not missing at all;...

Nearly three years after Knives Out was originally released in late 2019, we’re finally going to get a sequel: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. That means we’re due for more quippy dialogue, zany characters, and another thrilling mystery very soon, but not soon enough.The complete plot of Glass Onion is not yet clear, but we know that Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc will once again put his detective skills to the test–this time on the picturesque Greek island of Spetses. If Glass Onion is anything like its predecessor, the audience...

To hear even snippets of Game of Thrones’ beloved theme played once again is an event both stirring and terrifying. There is a chance, however slim, that this story will re-capture the power felt, on a borderline religious level, by millions of fans from 2011 to 2019 (and much longer, through George R. R. Martin’s ongoing book series). But there is the equal likelihood House of the Dragon, HBO’s new Game of Thrones prequel series, will wither in the shadow of its predecessor, further stratifying the many fans its flagship...
