The south Londoner’s honesty about her vices has made her a gen Z hero: she was in rehab when her biggest hit was blowing up. Singing about sex on her new album, she says, is a way to mask the painLast November, Lola Young was finally having her moment. Messy, a track from her second album, This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway, was blowing up on TikTok.

Even if you wouldn’t recognise Young if she passed you on the street, you’d know the song and its ironclad hook: “Cause I’m too messy! And then I’m too fucking clean ”Other stars might have taken a moment to enjoy the spoils, or strategise on how best to capitalise on the newfound success.

6 d. ago EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert review – Baz Luhrmann’s electric yet avoidant documentary

Toronto film festival: the bombastic director’s second film about the music legend shows the singer at his most mesmerizing but the picture remains incompleteBaz Luhrmann now has two Elvis movies under his bedazzled belt. The first is his epic biopic starring Austin Butler and now he has unleashed another called EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, remixing archival material with never-before-seen footage from the singer’s residency in Las Vegas. What’s remarkable about them both, apart from the director’s obvious affinity for his subject’s showmanship, is his refusal across so many hours of jiggling and swivelling to meaningfully hold Elvis to account.Luhrmann’s Oscar-nominated 2022 film acknowledged Elvis’s cultural appropriation: how his phenomenal success owed so much to the R&B, gospel and rock he grew up around and the racist institutions that put him on a pedestal while holding down the Black artists that birthed and gave that music its soul. The movie also painted Elvis as a ...

2 w. ago US Open tennis 2025: Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz in action on day six – live

Updates from the third round at Flushing MeadowsGet in touch with Katy | Osaka hits back at OstapenkoRaducanu dropped only six games in her first two matches. But both were against qualifiers; Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champ, represents a huge step up in quality. Raducanu has tended to struggle against the biggest hitters – and is letting Rybakina dictate early on here – but the way in which she stood up to Aryna Sabalenka in two tight defeats at Wimbledon and Cincinnati this summer will give her hope. But Rybakina backs up the break and it’s 3-0.Rybakina underlines why she’s the best server in the women’s game with some pinpoint deliveries to get to 40-15 in the opening game. The Russia-born Kazakhstani then misfires from the baseline, but holds to 30 when Raducanu rattles her return long. Rybakina bosses the next game too, charging to 0-40 and three break points. Raducanu repels the first, Rybakina blinks on the second but makes no mistake on the third. Raducanu drops serve for...
