Flume And JPEGMAFIA Release Collaborative EP ‘We Live In A Society'
Flume and JPEGMAFIA have officially shared their debut collaborative EP, entitled We Live In A Society. Last week saw the Australian producer and American rapper tease the release of the project with an animated video for what ended up being the first track on the EP, the imaginatively-titled 'Track 1'. It was then confirmed via Flume's social media a few days later. The pair reportedly began work on the EP in 2023, prior to both Peggy's collaborative album with Danny Brown (Scaring The Hoes) and his fifth solo album I Lay Down My Life For You – on which Flume co-produced the Vince Staples collab 'New Black History'. We Live In A Society can be streamed below via Spotify.
To promote the EP, a music video for the track 'AI Girlfriend' has also been shared. JPEGMAFIA co-directed the music video himself, alongside collaborator Logan Fields. The clip depicts a futuristic knight in a strip club, and is filmed from its perspective in the spirit of The Prodigy's controversial 'Smack My Bitch Up' music video. It also features YouTuber Dax Flame in a cameo role.
We Live In A Society marks Flume's first new music as a lead artist since the release of his two 2023 mixtapes: Things Don't Always Go The Way You Plan and Arrived Anxious, Left Bored. Since then, he has collaborated with Tkay Maidza on the single 'Silent Assassin' and with Kučka on 'One More Night'. Peggy, meanwhile, has stayed prolific in 2025. He has released the stand-alone singles 'Protect The Cross' and 'Valentines Day Freestyle '25', as well as a 'director's cut' of I Lay Down My Life For You which expands it to a 76-minute double album. The rapper has also teased his sixth solo album and a follow-up to Scaring The Hoes with Brown on his social media accounts.

'I'm not a porn star': 'Diddy' accuser says she asked to stop sex performances
By Luc Cohen NEW YORK (Reuters) -One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' former girlfriends testified on Monday in the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial that she told him in text messages that she felt mistreated in their relationship and asked to stop taking part in sexual performances with other men. "I'm not a porn star. I'm not an animal," the woman, testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, wrote Combs on October 16, 2023, according to a text message she read aloud in court. "It's loveless for me and nothing satisfies you and you always push me to do more and more." The messages could bolster prosecutors' contention that Combs, 55, for two decades coerced women to take part in the sexual performances, sometimes known as "Freak Offs," against their will. Combs is charged with using physical force and threatening to cut off financial support to get women to take part in the drug-fueled, sometimes days-long performances in hotel rooms while he watched. Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His lawyers have acknowledged that Combs was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in Freak Offs did so consensually. Jane, the third alleged sex abuse victim of Combs to testify at his trial in Manhattan federal court, told jurors last week that she was "head over heels" for Combs at the outset of their relationship, which lasted from 2021 through 2024. She testified that most of the time they spent together involved sex performances with male escorts in hotel rooms, even though she wanted to go on dates with just Combs. She said Combs - whose net worth Forbes estimated at above $1 billion in 2022 - threatened to stop paying her rent when she said she wanted to stop having sex with other men. Combs' defense lawyers are due to cross-examine Jane later this week. The trial is in its fifth week. Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Also known throughout his career as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Combs turned artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Usher into stars, elevating hip-hop in American culture and becoming a billionaire in the process.

'BBQ Brawl''s Season 6 Has a New Twist — Why Bobby Flay Likes the Change (Exclusive)
The sixth season of BBQ Brawl premiered on Food Network on Sunday, June 1 Flay tells PEOPLE new captains Maneet Chauhan and Antonia Lofaso give the show "renewed energy" Season 6 also features a new rule in which the winner of the first challenge gets to pick their captainBBQ Brawl's sixth season premiered earlier this week with a new twist: The winner of the first challenge gets to pick their captain. Bobby Flay, who faces off with fellow captains Maneet Chauhan and Antonia Lofaso, says the shakeup from previous seasons, in which captains picked their entire teams, changes the dynamic — in a good way. 'We always want to be that person because everybody has an ego,' Flay tells PEOPLE. 'And so it kind of got turned around on us for a second, which I actually liked.' The first episode, which aired Sunday, June 1, saw chef Aarthi Sampath choose to be on Lofaso's team. Flay says the new season has 'serious renewed energy,' thanks to the addition of Lofaso and Chauhan. 'When I asked them to do this, they prepared themselves so incredibly well for so long prior to shooting this,' he recalls. 'I mean, they did tons of research. They were practicing, cooking, all this sort of live-fire cooking, and they really brought their own sort of energy and attitude and obviously flavors to it. And I will say that they kept me on my toes the entire time.' The culinary star adds that Lofaso is 'all about impactful flavors.' 'She's so intense in her mentoring in the best way,' he explains. 'She's very dedicated to her team. She wants them to do really well. She's almost kind of like a proud mom to them.' Chauhan, he observes, is 'a master with Indian flavors and ingredients.' 'It was really interesting watching those ingredients come to life in this sort of very classic American function of barbecue,' he notes. The new season, set at Star Hill Ranch in Austin, Texas, sees 12 new brawlers face off in teams led by Flay, Chauhan and Lofaso, aiming to win over returning judges Carson Kressley, Brooke Williamson (whom Flay began dating earlier this year) and Rodney Scott. Flay says the series' contestants tend to be 'students of the show.' 'They pay very close attention,' he says. 'Obviously, I've been on every season, so they kind of know what I like and what I don't like, what my style's going to be, how I'm going to mentor them, and those kinds of things.' 'They don't know who the other two mentors are going to be until they get there, but I think that every season, they seem to be better,' he continues. 'And I think it's not that everybody's better than the prior seasons, but they're just more schooled. So they know, they kind of drill down on what they need to do to win.' When it comes to fan reactions to the long-running series, which premiered in 2019, Flay says 'everybody has an opinion' on barbecue. 'And so we get a lot of feedback of, 'I wouldn't have done it that way and my grandfather would've never thought that was good.' And then people are like, 'I can't believe I have all these new ideas about barbecue. I never thought about it that way.' So it kind of goes both ways. But the one thing about it is people are watching it and they're interested in it and I love when people have opinions about stuff. I think if it was all just good or all just not good, there's no reason to watch. But when there's a conversation about it, which there is tons of conversation about BBQ Brawl, it works.'

Door County theater season is about to raise its curtain for 2025. Here's your guide
The curtain is raising on Door County's vibrant summer theater season for 2025. A couple of the Peninsula's companies have held offseason shows, others have held play readings and other outreach programs over the winter. But now that the middle of June is approaching, the county's four professional theater companies and a community theater company are heading into the starts of their seasons. Here's what these five companies are putting on stage this summer and fall. America's oldest professional resident summer theater – 2025 marks its 90th season – offers five shows in a season running from June 17 through Oct. 19 in the company's all-weather, 600-plus-seat pavilion near the shore of the bay of Green Bay. Patrons can relax and picnic on the grounds while watching the setting sun over the waters of the bay and enjoy the ambiance of the beer garden and other gardens before performances. The lineup includes a popular comedy about relationships by one of the best-known and most popular playwrights in American theater, a stage adaptation of a haunting Stephen King thriller, a stage musical version of a classic novel, a warmhearted romantic comedy by a writer known to Players patrons mostly for his madcap comedies, and a hugely popular comedy-drama about female friendships. The season is: 'Barefoot in the Park,' June 17 to July 6 It's the second year in a row a comedy by Neil Simon, who's responsible for writing some of America's most popular stage and movie comedies ("The Odd Couple," "The Sunshine Boys"), finds its way onto the Players stage, after last year's "I Ought to Be in Pictures." 'Barefoot in the Park' also is one of Simon's best-known works, running on Broadway for more than 3½ years and 1,530 shows in its first run, and also was adapted into a hit movie starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. The story features carefree Corie and pragmatic Paul, newlyweds who are trying to navigate life in their first quirky apartment while also dealing with an anxious mother-in-law and an eccentric neighbor. 'Misery,' July 9 to July 27 William Goldman, a two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter (both original and adapted) and novelist whose credits include 'Marathon Man,' 'The Princess Bride,' 'All the President's Men' and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' adapted mystery writer Stephen King's chilling tale for both stage and screen, the latter becoming a hit movie starring James Caan and Kathy Bates. The plot of "Misery" features a famous novelist who wakes up in the home of his 'No. 1 fan' after a car accident, but the fan learns the novelist has killed off her favorite character and tries to coax him into writing a new novel to bring her back, with continuously increasing mental and physical coercion and tension. 'Little Women: The Broadway Musical,' July 30 to Aug. 17 This year's musical at Pen Players features Louisa May Alcott's beloved (and probably autobiographical) novel about the four plucky March sisters during the Civil War, which was adapted into a stage musical by Allan Knee (book), Mindi Dickstein (lyrics) and Jason Howland (music). The story is told through the eyes of Jo, the aspiring writer among the sisters, and shows how she, Meg, Beth and Amy care for one another despite their differing personalities while finding their own voices and charting their own paths among their loves, losses, discoveries and hope. 'Ken Ludwig's Dear Jack, Dear Louise,' Aug. 20 to 31 Ludwig is a prolific playwright whose fast-paced, madcap comedies such as 'Lend Me a Tenor' (a two-time Tony Award winner), 'The Fox on the Fairway' and most recently 2023's "Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery" have graced the Players stage. Here. though, Ludwig goes for something closer to the heart, penning an amusing and heartwarming story based on the real-life, long-distance courtship of his parents during World War II. The plot has shy and steady Jack, a military doctor stationed far from home, striking up a correspondence with outgoing Louise, an aspiring singer and dancer, and follows how their connection blossoms through their deeply personal letters despite the miles between them and the ongoing war. 'Steel Magnolias,' Sept. 3 to Oct. 19 Pen Players' fall show for 2025 is Robert Harling's moving comedy, based on his family experiences, about the lives and friendships of six women who support each other through their triumphs and tragedies, gathering at a beauty shop in Louisiana to ponder life and death, husbands, men and children. Harling adapted his play into a hit film with an all-star cast that included Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton and Sally Field, and a made-for-TV movie with an all-Black cast including Queen Latifah, Jill Scott and Phylicia Rashad was produced in 2012 for the Lifetime cable network.

Curtain times are at 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 7:30 p.m. Sundays except for a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee to close each show, except for "Steel Magnolias," which takes the stage at 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.
