Michigan YouTuber Attempts Ollie Over $3 Million Pagani
A Michigan YouTuber known for his wild antics has pulled off one of his most nerve-wracking stunts yet—ollieing over a $3 million Pagani supercar. Frankie LaPenna, a social media personality with a reputation for outrageous challenges, risked not only injury but also financial disaster in his latest viral spectacle.
Unlike professional skateboarders who attempt similar tricks, LaPenna doesn't claim expertise in the sport, making the feat all the more daring. A single miscalculation could have resulted in catastrophic damage to the luxury hypercar, leaving him in what he jokingly referred to as 'decades of debt.'
The moment, captured on video and posted to his Facebook page, and we dug out of the year old Youtube video he posted showing the whole thing, shows LaPenna soaring over the Pagani in a heart-stopping stunt. While he cleared the car without incident, the landing didn't go quite as planned—he lost balance and crashed into a back wall. Fortunately, both LaPenna and the multimillion-dollar car emerged unscathed.
Reactions to the stunt poured in, with viewers expressing a mix of awe and disbelief. 'This could've easily cost them over $50,000,' one person commented, while others marveled at the skateboard trick itself, especially given LaPenna's lack of professional experience.
LaPenna, known for extreme stunts like skydiving mid-work call and stepping into the ring with a professional boxer, has built a following by pushing boundaries. His latest challenge may have been his riskiest yet, but he proved once again that he's willing to put it all on the line for viral glory.

5 things we learned from Taylor Swift's appearance on the ‘New Heights' podcast
Taylor Swift got candid in a nearly two-hour pre-recorded podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce that at one point brought more than a million viewers to a YouTube stream on Wednesday evening. Teasers released ahead of her inaugural appearance on 'New Heights' revealed the singer would be talking about her new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl' and opening up about her historic Eras Tour, which concluded in December 2024. She hit on both subjects at length in the episode, but some of the most exciting moments came from conversations that were less anticipated – like when she got emotional speaking about the moment she learned she was going to once again own her entire catalog of music or when she opened up about her parents' health struggles this summer. Here are some of the highlights from their conversation: 'The Life of a Showgirl' will be released on October 3 and will include 12 tracks – a nod to this being the pop superstar's 12th studio album — including a final song featuring Sabrina Carpenter. 'This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time,' Swift said. The album marks a reunion between Swift and legendary producers Max Martin and Shellback, who worked with her pop-heavy hits 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation.' These albums also feature several of her top songs, including 'Shake It Off,' 'Delicate,' 'Blank Space' and 'I Knew You were Trouble.' Swift said her goal for the new album was to have 'melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it' and lyrics that were 'just as vivid but crisp and focused and completely intentional.' Swift said the album's theme is 'everything that was going on behind the curtain,' later saying she wanted the cover to communicate the same idea. It's 'the life beyond the show,' she said. Asked of the significance behind the album's orange iconography, Swift explained that it is 'energetically how my life has felt,' she said, describing it as 'exuberant and electric and vibrant.' Jason Kelce, a retired center for the Philadelphia Eagles and Super Bowl champ, then asked if he'd get to hear the album ahead of time, to which Swift said no. 'We don't trust you at all,' she said. He replied: 'Honestly, smart.' How Travis Kelce and Swift came to be one of the most famous power couples around is now well-known lore, and Swift joked that the podcast 'got me a boyfriend.' But her beau said he actually gives the Eras Tour credit for their relationship. 'If I never would have gone to that show and just been mesmerized and just been captivated and then left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never went on here and told everybody how butthurt I was (when he didn't get a chance to give her a friendship bracelet he'd made for her). I had never been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were,' he said. Swift made an audible 'aww' and added 'that's really beautiful.' His brother quipped in response: 'The best part of that statement is that you didn't know what the word 'engulfed' meant before you met Taylor.' Swift and Travis Kelce appeared incredibly comfortable with one another throughout the episode, often sitting with arms intertwined. At another point in the episode, Swift revealed the 'green flag' she saw early on as she got to know Travis Kelce was his ability to maintain friendships. 'Travis has had the same friends since he was probably four years old,' she said. 'He's incredibly good at maintaining friendships and is so loyal and his friends are equally loyal and the funniest, most hilarious group of people.' Travis Kelce described Swift's 'reclaiming' of her master recordings as one of his favorite things that happened this summer, launching Swift into a detailed account of how it came to be. Swift said she sent her mother and brother to Los Angeles to discuss acquiring her music catalog with the private equity company Shamrock Capital that previously owned her music. 'They sat down with Shamrock Capital and they told them what this meant for me,' she recalled. 'They told them the whole story of all the times we've tried to buy it, all the times it's fallen through.' Swift said she received news that she acquired her master recordings a few months after the Super Bowl. 'I get a call from my mom and she's like, 'You got your music,'' Swift said while tearing up. 'It's literally been so long since this happened, and it's every time I talk about it….I just like very dramatically hit the floor for real. Honestly, just started like bawling my eyes out, and I'm just like weeping.' Travis Kelce admitted he started crying, too. 'You were weeping,' she echoed. In May, Swift became the owner of her entire catalog of music, roughly six years after she protested the sale of the master recordings of her first six albums by her former record label. Swift announced the news in a letter posted to her website at the time, writing that 'all of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.' The Grammy-winner specified that she owns all her music videos, concert films, album art and photography, along with unreleased songs and that she purchased her music 'outright with no strings attached, no partnership, full autonomy,' from Shamrock Capital. Her schedule might appear perpetually packed, but Swift actually does have free time and hobbies, which include painting, cooking and 'a different baking obsession every six months.' Travis Kelce joked: 'I'm the luckiest man in the world.' 'Right now, we're very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life,' she added. Travis Kelce says he is very grateful to be running and training as much as he is right now, because 'I am getting the caloric intake.' Taylor Swift said he asked her to send him two loaves of sourdough at training camp. 'I'm talking about bread 60% of the times now,' she said. Meanwhile, she has been perfecting a 'funfetti sourdough' for Jason Kelce's children 'because they love sprinkles.' 'It's gonna blow their mind,' Jason Kelce said. Work hard, recover harder – that's a principle both Travis Kelce and Swift seem to follow dutifully. Swift opened about about the grueling toll her three-hour performances would take on her. 'It was a lot of physical therapy and it was a lot of being in a state of perpetual discomfort,' she said. She told Travis Kelce, '(It's) kind of like when you're in season. I'm not getting hit by huge 300-pounders, but the heels…' Travis Kelce recalled seeing what he called 'the recovery station' at the hotel. 'S**t, I'm telling you, dude, the similarities were crazy,' Kelce said. 'I was like, 'Oh my Gosh. She does more than I do.'' He added: 'We related on how much torture we put our bodies through.' CNN's Alli Rosenbloom, Megan Thomas and Dan Heching contributed to this report.

Taylor Swift Unveils ‘The Life of a Showgirl' Cover, Sabrina Carpenter Feature
Taylor Swift is spilling all the details on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. As Wednesday's episode of New Heights came out on YouTube, the singer shared the album cover, track list, and the release date for the record. It's out Oct. 3. 'And, baby, that's show business for you. New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3,' she wrote on her social media accounts. She also shared that she co-produced the album with Max Martin and Shellback. More from Rolling Stone Taylor Swift Reveals 'The Life of a Showgirl' Album Cover & Swifties Are Celebrating With Fan-Inspired Merch Sabrina Carpenter Is Understandably 'Freaking Out' About Her Feature on Taylor Swift's Album Taylor Swift Was Also Obsessed With Bad Bunny's Acting in 'Happy Gilmore 2' The album cover, designed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, features Swift floating underwater with the title displayed in an orange, glittery font. 'My day ends in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress… I wanted to glamorize all the aspects of how the tour felt,' she said on the podcast. 'I wanted to have an offstage moment as the main album cover because the album isn't really about what happened onstage, but what happened offstage.' She also unveiled the track list; it includes a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track, which closes the album. 'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life,' she said on the New Heights podcast. 'And so that effervescence has come through on this record. And like, as you said, bangers.' Swift explained that the goal of the album was 'melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it' and also lyrics that 'are as vivid, crisp, focused, and completely intentional.' The LP includes 12 tracks, including songs titled 'Actually Romantic,' 'Father Figure,' 'Elizabeth Taylor,' 'Cancelled!,' and 'Honey.' Swift also confirmed that only 12 songs would be dropping unlike her last album, which had two parts. 'With Tortured Poets Department, I was like, 'Here's a data dump of everything I thought and felt in two or three years. Here's 31 songs.' This is 12. There's not a 13th, there's not other ones coming,' Swift said on the podcast. 'This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time … Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons, you know, and you couldn't take one out, and it'd be the same album. You couldn't add one. It's just right.' She added: 'I tend to love to write lots and lots of music, so it's a temptation to release lots of music, but oftentimes, like I wanted to do an album that was so focused on quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like a perfect puzzle, that these 12 songs for my 12th album, I feel like we achieved that, and I'm really happy about that.' Swift announced the album title in a teaser for the New Heights podcast, hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. In the clip, Swift sits next to her boyfriend and podcast host Travis Kelce as she opens up a mint green case with her initials on it in orange lettering. 'I wanted to show you something … This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' In the previously posted clip, the album cover was blurred out. On Monday night, a countdown appeared on her website, with the ticker scheduled to expire Tuesday at 12:12 a.m. ET. When the time reached, the site temporarily crashed before unveiling an orange glitter vinyl variant of the record, a cassette, and a CD version of the LP. The Life of a Showgirl is the 12th studio album from Swift, who last released an album in 2024, The Tortured Poets Department. Earlier this year, Swift purchased the master recordings for her first six albums and gained control of her music catalog. 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me,' the singer wrote in a letter on her website. The news came as she rereleased Taylor's Version albums of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989.
