Quickly, Rinaldi started gaining weight; her body started changing, too. As she puts it, “I had curves.” With those curves came attention, especially from guys. Rinaldi didn’t dig it. So she started dieting in the way a type-A tween might: a skipped meal here, a salad there, a bonus run in between. “I didn’t feel safe in that body — I felt safe in a thinner one,” Rinaldi says. In…
Nick Reiner is demanding access to his more than $1.5 million trust to cover legal fees as he faces charges for allegedly murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. In a petition filed in California probate court Monday (June 8), Nick claimed that a trust his parents set up for him when he was a kid contained “unambiguous instructions about when the funds” were to be released. The first half was supposed to be “distributed to Nick outright when he turned 30,” per the petition, while the rest of the funds were to be issued when he turned 35. “These…

We therefore thank Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions for their kind assistance, and all in all this mysterious apparition under our radar also gives a certain aura of mystery to the Basque band's black metal. Theirs is a black metal which, while…
Paul McCartney‘s latest solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, has landed here, there, and everywhere on Billboard‘s latest chart returns, mostly at Number One. While the LP, which contains the singles “Days We Left Behind” and “Home to Us,” bowed at Number Five on the Billboard 200, which tabulates an album’s popularity with a combination of sales and “album-equivalent” streaming units, the trade mag reports that it landed at Number One on its Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales charts. McCartney managed this week’s feat by earning 63,000 album equivalent units in the U.S. for…
Some cultural curios can make you realize just how long ago 2019 seems, even if only seven years have elapsed — Bon Appetit videos, Theranos name-checks, reminders of The Good Place’s sardonic optimism. Then there’s Lizzo, the Minneapolis-via-Houston rapper-producer-flautist who, after garnering buzz and critical acclaim during the 2010s, broke big that year with her third album, Cuz I Love You, a frothy, hooky showcase of her talent and charisma, and the resurgence of her single “Truth Hurts,” a piano-led rebuke of an ex that went to Number One. Since then, Lizzo’s fortunes have been up and down. Her 2022…
