George Lucas's $1 billion spaceship-like Los Angeles museum nears completion
It looks like a starship that's warped in from a galaxy far, far away. But it's actually a $1 billion passion project museum in Los Angeles, envisioned by Star Wars creator George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson. First announced in 2014, photos show not only that it's finally nearing completion, but that it's likely to become one of the city's most jaw-dropping attractions. The futuristic Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Exposition Park, due to open in 2026, has been designed to 'float' above the ground, according to Mad Architects, the studio behind the design. And there's not a right angle in sight. The 300,000-square-foot building sits in a landscape consisting of trees, gardens and walkways, and will house what's claimed to be 'one of the world's most significant collections of narrative art', curated by 81-year-old Lucas himself. The five-storey museum will house more than 10,000 pieces from his personal collection, including comics, illustrations, paintings, photographs, moving images, sculptures, and film memorabilia. On display will be works by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, N. C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Kadir Nelson; comic artists such as Winsor McCay, Frank Frazetta, Jack Kirby, and Robert Crumb; muralists such as Judith F. Baca and Diego Rivera; photographers including Dorothea Lange and Carrie Mae Weems; chroniclers of African American life including Jacob Lawrence and Charles White; and seminal works by artists including Frida Kahlo, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Robert Colescott. The collection also includes cinematic archives, including the Separate Cinema Archive and the entire Historic Lucasfilm Archive (1971–2012). The interior will comprise gallery spaces, 299-seat cinema theaters, glass elevators, a library, a cafe and restaurants, and visitors will be able to ascend to a rooftop terrace for panoramic city views. The museum said in a statement: "The design was conceptualized to reflect Los Angeles's vibrant pioneering spirit and embrace of its diverse inhabitants, representing a celebration of dialogue, understanding, and inclusivity. 'It stands as a testament to the city's vibrancy, history of innovation, and rich cultural tapestry. "For an institution dedicated to the art of visual storytelling, the design of the campus invites the visitor on a journey long before stepping into the museum's galleries."

Taylor Swift stuns in a racy rhinestone bikini for vinyl release of Baby, That's Show Business
Taylor Swift dropped a new release for fans on Thursday on her personal store with a limited time - only 48 hours - to snap it up. 'The Life of a Showgirl: Baby, That's Show Business Vinyl Collection is available now on my site for 48 hours, while supplies last ❤️,' wrote the performer in her Instagram caption. 'Album Producers: Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.' Mert & Marcus are the photographers. The star looked like a Las Vegas showgirl with her sexy suit, long diamond necklace, and yellow feathered head cap as she had matching feathered boas hanging from her wrist cuffs. She was dancing alongside other pretty ladies who had Sin City written all over them. The Life of a Showgirl is the upcoming 12th studio album by Swift. It is scheduled for release on October 3, 2025, via Republic Records. The two limited-edition LP editions that Swift put up for sale last week sold out on her webstore within an hour. On Thursday she returned with an on-sale of two different versions of the album with an entirely different third cover, named Baby, That's Show Business Edition. This edition is available in two vinyl colors: 'lovely bouquet golden vinyl' and 'lakeside beach blue sparkle vinyl.' Her webstore shows that this edition will be available for 48 hours or 'while supplies last.' On Monday Swift revealed striking new imagery for her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl. The 35-year-old pop star shared a promotional shot for her Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection of the record, which will be available exclusively on her website — sending fans into a frenzy online. A photo showed Taylor leaning against a pale green wall in a sequined red and black bodysuit with nude fishnet tights, her blonde hair loose across her shoulders. The image was captured by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, whose previous collaborations with Taylor include the artwork for her 2017 album Reputation. Speaking on Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, she said: 'I loved what they did with those photos, so I called them up for (this album.) 'I am so happy with the way the photos came out with this one.' Taylor also credited producers Max Martin and Shellback on Instagram, saying she was 'so proud' of the songs they had worked on. She explained: 'This is a full send. I care about this record more than I can even overstate.' The aesthetic of the new promotional campaign has provoked strong reactions from fans and critics alike. One fan said on social media: 'We wanted a lead single but you look beautiful, so it's fine.' Another wrote: 'We wanted a single but you served so it's a win.' A third added: 'Taylor isn't dropping an album, she's dropping a bomb. The industry is trembling.' Others, however, voiced disapproval. One user on X wrote: 'Why are you suddenly so desperate to be seen as a sex symbol? LOL.' Another asked: 'Question to all Swifties. When did Taylor start showing skin like the rest of Hollywood?' Discussing the album artwork further, Taylor told the New Heights podcast: 'My day ends with me in a bathtub – not usually in a bedazzled dress – but we try to keep it decent. 'I wanted to glamorise all the different aspects of how (the Eras Tour) felt and (the The Life Of A Showgirl cover) is how that felt at the end of the night.' Taylor added the record reflects her 'offstage' experiences, saying: 'The album cover is meant to depict what the end of my night looks like on tour.' The 14-time Grammy winner also revealed the full 12-song tracklist, which includes The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter, Ruin The Friendship, Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t, Wood, CANCELLED!, Honey and the title track The Life of a Showgirl. Sabrina Carpenter, 25, features on the title track, while Travis, 34, described all the songs as 'bangers'. Actor Zoë Kravitz, 36, told Extra there were 'no skips' on the record.
