Turnstile Go All Ari Aster in the Pit in Double Video for ‘Seein' Stars' and ‘Birds'
When Charli XCX dubbed it a 'Turnstile Summer' at Coachella, it seems she meant it's going to be a lush, ominous, head-cracking kind of season. That is, if the hardcore band's new video for 'Seein' Stars' and 'Birds' is any indication.
A perfect demonstration of Turnstile's dichotomy — blistering hardcore mixed with endlessly inventive melodies — the double video starts off dreamy, with a gaggle of dancers undulating to soaring vocals and Bill and Ted-esque electric guitars. Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Blood Orange, and Hayley Williams also lend vocals to 'Seein' Stars,' with the band's Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory directing the visuals.

We then cut to a verdant hill — reminiscent of Ari Aster's Midsommar — where drummer Daniel Fang leads a field full of thrashers in kicking off a mosh pit among the greenery as Yates tears into the blistering 'Birds.'
Both songs come from Never Enough, the band's long-awaited fourth studio album, following Glow On, which earned them two Grammy nods. 'I always feel like there's not really any measure of greatness when it comes to music because music can reach people in so many different ways and different scales. The impact it can leave on someone is impossible to measure,' Yates told Rolling Stone at the time. 'Once you accept that, you can look at things through a different lens. Being recognized on one scale that's a universally accepted platform — that somehow a band like ours from Baltimore is being recognized by different people from different worlds — is super cool and exciting.'
Never Enough — which was produced by Yates and features new guitarist Meg Mills — drops on June 6th.

Reneé Rapp comes out in defense of scissoring: 'Yes, [it's] real!'
Reneé Rapp is weighing in on a lesbian debate that has raged on for years — is scissoring real? The "Pretty Girls" singer recently chatted with Anania Williams for a @ segment on TikTok, answering important questions like "What gay celebrity would Regina George date today?" and "How are femme and masc lesbians' thirst traps different?" At one point, Williams asked Rapp which of her tattoos is the gayest. The answer was, of course, the ink she got on her arm of two scissors intertwined. And that led to a follow-up question about whether or not scissoring is real — something Rapp apparently has very strong feelings about. "Yes, scissoring is real!" she declared. "And I debate this every day of my life." Happy pride month u guys r getting fed — watch to the end to find out who made Reneé gay feat. @reneé host: @𝙰𝙽𝙰𝙽𝙸𝙰 created by: @Mutuals & @Amelia shot by: @Samira M. questions & booking by: @Brooke Finegold edited by: @Andrew Bourne #ReneéRapp #lgbt #beyonce #comedy #sapphic #lesbian #gaydarshow #nyc #mutualsmedia Whatever conversations the Mean Girls star gets herself into that lead to perpetual debates about scissoring sound kind of fantastic, if a little exhausting. Shouldn't we have put the scissoring debate to bed by now?? Still, it certainly comes as no surprise that the woman who brought giant scissors to adorn the stage during her Coachella performance is on the right side of history here. Rapp standing up for scissoring truthers was certainly a highlight of her interview, but she dropped quite a few other amusing tidbits throughout the two and a half minutes — from talking about Beyoncé's ass with her mom to admitting it's "so common" when asked how many closeted celebrities she knows. "But I want the NBA boys to be gay," she added.

Drew Sidora Reveals She Dated Michael B. Jordan: 'People That Know, Know'
Drew Sidora's latest confession about a past relationship has left many surprised, mostly because it has never been mentioned until now. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently sat down with Carlos King on his Reality with the King podcast, where she dished on her past relationships with Ty Young and Dennis McKinley — while also dropping a bombshell. The Step Up star revealed that she once dated Michael B. Jordan, long before he became the Hollywood heartthrob and talent he is today. 'I dated Michael B. Jordan,' she casually said. 'I never said that out loud publicly, but people that know, know.' Possibly even throwing a little shade at her past lovers, she added, 'I like biceps, not bellies.' And we all know MBJ has that plus more. Drew went on to reminisce about the days when Jordan was still a rising star, back when he was acting on All My Children in the early 2000s. According to Drew, she even attended the NAACP Awards as his date at that time. 'He asked me to be his date to the NAACP awards,' she recalled, adding that they were also friendly with each other's families. 'My sister Allison … he would come over and she would cook for him … I met his mom, and you know it was great.' Drew, however, isn't the only one who has spilled tea about a past Michael B. Jordan romance. Brie Tiesi made headlines in 2023 when she claimed to have been intimate with the Sinners star. During a dinner scene on Netflix's real estate reality show, Selling Sunset, Brie casually flexed, 'I could do that and I've done that,' when asked if she'd sleep with Jordan. Another realtor responded to her claims with, 'I want to live through that vagina right now.' While the world has witnessed Jordan's publicized romance with Lori Harvey, he's kept his dating life under wraps since their public split. The 38-year-old has since made it clear that he's not rushing into anything. 'My next relationship is gonna happen when it's supposed to happen,' he told Rolling Stone in 2023.

Diddy Offered Bribe For Cassie Abuse Video That Could 'Ruin His Career,' Security Testifies
A security guard testified that Sean 'Diddy' Combs bribed him to make sure video footage of him physically assaulting Casandra 'Cassie' Fine remained out of the public eye. On Tuesday (June 3), Eddy Garcia took the stand to detail how the disgraced mogul labeled him 'my angel' once the deal was set into place. According to Rolling Stone, Garcia initially rejected communications from Combs' chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, who wanted to view the footage. He allegedly instructed Khorram to get a subpoena before being contacted on his personal phone, which made him 'nervous.' Garcia detailed that Combs joined the call and named him a 'good guy' and allegedly explained that if the video was released to the public, it would 'ruin his career.' Garcia then consulted with his supervisor, who allegedly instructed that the security clip could be sold to the Harlem native and his team for $50,000. Garcia claimed Combs exclaimed, 'Eddy, my angel, I knew you could help. I knew you could do it,' per RS. Garcia then detailed traveling to an office building with the damning footage on a transportable drive to meet with Korrham and Combs. He claimed his voice was cracking due to his mental state, so Combs asked Korrham to 'go get him that tea I like.' Before his exit, Combs asked if the flash drive had the only copy of the video, and made a FaceTime call to Cassie during the ordeal. 'Let this guy know you want this to go away, too,' Combs allegedly directed the 'Official Girl' singer during the call. Garcia claimed that Cassie appeared calm, per RS, and wanted the incident to 'go away.' According to Garcia, once Cassie offered her input, he signed a declaration that claimed the footage at hand was the only copy, and signed a non-disclosure agreement on Combs Enterprise letterhead, dated March 7, 2011, two days after the hotel assault. Garcia said he did not receive a copy and would be forced to pay $1 million if the terms were violated. He then received a brown paper bag filled with $100,000. 'I was nervous, I was in a rush to get out of there,' detailed Garcia. According to RS, Garcia claimed to have given $50,000 to his boss while splitting the other $50,000 with the other security officer on duty at the time of the incident. Earlier in the trial, LAPD officer Israel Florez and a former security guard at the hotel testified to their experience with Combs as it related to the assault of his ex-girlfriend. The footage was released to the public last year by CNN. 'She was scared,' Florez swore under oath of Ventura's presence after being physically attacked. 'She was in the corner, hood on, covered up. I couldn't see her face, she was pretty much in the corner. On the floor was a destroyed flower vase.' The footage was played for jurors in Combs' ongoing criminal trial, where he faces one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The 55-year-old continues to maintain his innocence.
