Organizers for the global fitness competition Hyrox issued an apology Monday after allowing the winner of a Beijing, China competition to finish the race after she lost control of her bowels — running on the carpeted, indoor course and using shared fitness equipment while feces covered her legs and arms. Australian Joanna Wietrzyk, 22, is a world record holder for Hyrox and one of the fitness competition’s elite athletes. At a Sept. 12 match in Beijing, Wietrzyk suffered from fecal incontinence during the race. Photos from the event show Wietrzytk pushing a workout sled, doing burpees, rowing, and running through stations…
New Order’s Gillian Gilbert has revealed she’s living with cancer. The band’s longtime keyboardist shared a statement today with the intent to, in her words, “gently clarify a misunderstanding” resulting from a recent Rolling Stone interview with her bandmate and husband, Stephen Morris. Responding to a question about whether he would attend New Order’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in November, Morris said, “I’ve got a bit of a health problem at the minute, which precludes leaving the country for any length of time.”“Thankfully [Stephen] is well,” Gilbert wrote. “It is in fact me, who like many other…
Finneas and every other artist supporting Ed Sheeran on his Loop Tour have withdrawn from the trek after Macklemore was forced off it following onstage comments he made in support of Palestinians and critical of Israel’s war in Gaza. Finneas, the singer-songwriter best known for his work with sister Billie Eilish, will no longer open for Sheeran on the upcoming South American leg of the Loop Tour, which was set to begin in November. “Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” he wrote on Instagram. “I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates…

With the war in Iran still hot, the U.S. is preparing a major move to shore up one of its key interests in the region: supplying Israel with bombs. The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of bombs to Israel, financed through a government program that would see the U.S. not only release the munitions for sale but pay for them as well, financing Israel’s rearmament with American taxpayer dollars. Often, traditional arms deals include an agreement to allow a country to purchase U.S. weapons, meaning that at least some of the proceeds…

Taylor Swift sent Swifties into overdrive when she made a surprise cameo at the 78th Emmy Awards. The superstar — and her Scottish fold cat named Olivia Benson — appeared alongside Mariska Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, in a pre-recorded sketch that riffed on Hargitay’s hosting duties. The bit also poked fun at the way Swifties turn even the tiniest details into clues for Swift’s next move, with not just one, but two crime boards. In doing so, the sketch also delivered a bevy of Easter eggs, which Emmy producers Jesse Collins and…
Materialists, rejoice: There are 39 more discs of Bob Dylan live recordings on the way. Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings is yet another archival collection from Dylan’s storied, titular tour of small auditoriums, with guests including Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson, and Allen Ginsberg. This set, out November 6, contends with the second leg of the tour, which took place in spring 1976; the 1975 run received the box set treatment in 2019, accompanying Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Thunder documentary. The second leg’s May 16 concert at Fort Worth will get a standalone 3xLP release on the same…
Taking inspiration from classic war films, the clip finds the band members firing rockets from their guitars Lombardy mix a little of Apocalypse Now with a dash of Tropic Thunder and Predator for the Nashville indie-rock band’s new video, “Bazooka.” Filmed in a park in Madison, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville, the clip finds the four-piece on some kind of macho mission with only their instruments to protect them. They fire flames from their guitars and missiles from their bass, all while evading a low-flying helicopter. It’s goofy, “Get to the choppa!” fun, and underscores Lombardy’s knack for playing big…
