“Live fast. Die young. Be wild. Have fun.” – Lana Del Rey

Millie Bobby Brown’s Bright Future

Straight-to-Video Series

There’s only one Millie Bobby Brown, but she is following in the footsteps of the Olsen twins. By the time the Olsens were six, they already had their own production company in Dualstar Entertainment and went on to front a straight-to-video mystery series, The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley. At 13, Brown has now set up her own production company, PCMA Productions, and is set to star and produce in her teen girl detective series, although, this one is likely headed to the big screen. Brown will star in a multi-film franchise based on a book series that tells the story of Sherlock Holmes’s 14-year-old kid sister Enola Holmes. While Sherlock and other big brother Mycroft want Enola to stay at home and be raised like a proper Victorian-era girl, Enola would rather solve mysteries instead. Brown may have had her breakthrough with Stranger Things, but she’s already planning out her post-Netflix career. She’s signed on to star in her first lead in an upcoming Godzilla movie and is quickly racking up additional credits on IMDB.

Radiohead

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey sings about red dresses and daddies in a way that brings to mind a sepia-toned past. Radiohead sings about androids and dystopia that portends a dark future. They don’t seem to have that much in common, but Radiohead contends that Del Rey’s recent album cut “Get Free” bares some striking similarities to their 1993 hit song “Creep.” Indeed, it was Del Rey herself who confirmed that the parties were in legal discussion after representatives for Radiohead sought credit and royalties for Del Rey’s song. What’s interesting is that Radiohead has been on the other side of this equation before when it comes to “Creep”: they ended up giving credit and royalties to the writers of the Hollies’s 1974 song "The Air That I Breathe.” Such legal squabbles have become increasingly common (Ed Sheeran gave credit to the writers of a TLC song, Sam Smith added Tom Petty as a co-writer, and Taylor Swift famously did the same with Right Said Fred on “Look What You Made Me Do”), but they’re usually handled privately. In this case, it only became public knowledge after Del Rey herself spilled the beans on Twitter.

Ansel Elgort, According to Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet, According to Timothée Chalamet

Baby Driver’s Ansel Elgort and Call Me by Your Name’s Timothée Chalamet are two of the hottest young actors in Hollywood at the moment. They were both just nominated for Golden Globes after all. They also have an alma mater in common. They’re both alumni of New York City’s famed LaGuardia High School (i.e. the performing arts school that inspired the movie Fame). We’ve already weighed in on which young actor we think may have the hottest future, but now they’re weighing in themselves on who was more popular in high school (the two are also just a year apart in age). MTV recently put the question to both. “Timothée. Timothée was so popular,” said Ansel. “Ansel had a calendar with him in it!” said Timothée. “Are you kidding me? How could I possibly have been more popular?” Ansel followed up by saying that while some people disliked him, no one disliked Timmy. Fair enough. We’re not sure what Ansel was like in high school, but we have seen videos of Timmy’s classroom rapping.

London Fashion Week Men’s just wrapped up, and one of the most talked about moments was label Rottingdean Bazaar’s choice to send a curvy man down the runway in a silk nightie, clutching a cardboard cutout of Naomi Campbell. See that and more of the other odd moments from LFWM, here. Though, we checked out the brand’s Instagram and found all sorts of other interesting visuals as well.
