Post Malone makes Skims debut in camo underwear campaign
Post Malone is the latest face of Skims, debuting in the brand's new men's campaign that highlights Realtree camouflage underwear, tees, and fleece loungewear. Shot in Utah's rugged outdoors, the 30-year-old musician posed in camo-print Skims while reflecting on his career, fatherhood, and life away from the stage. POST MALONE X SKIMS MEN — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 19, 2025 In an interview with GQ, Malone joked that the shoot made him feel 'like a handsome son of a b*tch.' He admitted it was his first time modeling underwear and described the experience as both 'terrifying' and fun. The Grammy-nominated artist said his love for Skims began with a bathrobe he often wore during Utah's cold winters, eventually leading to his collaboration with Kim Kardashian's brand. The campaign captures Malone in a rustic, outdoorsman aesthetic—fly-fishing, holding an ax, and surrounded by the Utah wilderness. 'It's badass, it's nature, it's beautiful,' he said during the shoot. Beyond modeling, Malone discussed fatherhood, calling it 'the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.' The rapper, who welcomed his daughter in 2022, shared that spending time with her has become his greatest joy. 'Kids are little sh*ts and they're beautiful at the same time. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but we're figuring it out together,' he said. Currently on a break from his Big Ass Stadium Tour, which features Jelly Roll as an opener, Malone spends his downtime watching Modern Family, rewatching WWE's Monday Night Raw, and writing new music. The full Skims Men's collection, including Malone's camo favorites, will be released on August 21 through the brand's website.

Ben Stiller balances Severance season 3 with new film projects
Ben Stiller is preparing for a busy year as he balances directing, producing, and a return to acting. The Emmy-winning director of Apple TV+'s Severance has been working closely with showrunner Dan Erickson and the writing team on season 3 while also developing several new projects. One of his next ventures is Focker-in-Law, a sequel to the hit comedy franchise that began with Meet the Parents. Stiller, now older than co-star Robert De Niro was during the original film, admits he feels some nerves about returning to acting after years behind the camera. Alongside the comedy, Stiller is pursuing more dramatic material, including a feature film about a downed airman in occupied France who joined the French Resistance, as well as an adaptation of Rachel Maddow's Bag Man podcast, which investigated the bribery scandal of former vice president Spiro Agnew. His creative drive is also shaped by personal reflection. Following the death of his father, comedian Jerry Stiller, in 2020, Stiller began developing a documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, a beloved comedy duo whose marriage influenced his own perspective on family. He acknowledges parallels with his relationship with actress Christine Taylor, with whom he reconciled after a brief separation. Stiller's children, Ella and Quinlin, have both entered acting, with Ella recently making her off-Broadway debut. Watching her perform, Stiller says, reminded him of his parents' early support during his own career. Looking ahead, Stiller is open to new collaborations — even hinting that his acting idol Al Pacino could one day appear in Severance. For Stiller, time feels more valuable than ever, and he intends to use it pursuing projects that matter both professionally and personally.

Helen Mirren says James Bond can never be played a woman
Helen Mirren has weighed in on one of the most heated debates in cinema, declaring that James Bond should never be recast as a woman. Speaking in a recent interview, the Oscar-winning actress made it clear that she believes the secret agent's identity must remain male, despite years of speculation about a gender swap. Fans and film insiders have long argued over the future of the 007 franchise, with names such as Idris Elba, Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy often floated as potential successors to Daniel Craig. However, more progressive voices have called for a female Bond, with actresses like Lashana Lynch and Emilia Clarke mentioned in fan campaigns. Mirren firmly shut down the idea, saying Bond's masculinity is essential to the character's appeal. The actress explained that she believes women should headline original roles rather than inherit ones written for men. Her comments echo those of Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who have also said the next 007 will be male. Instead, they have suggested the franchise could expand through powerful new female characters, as seen with Lynch's Nomi in No Time to Die. Online reaction to Mirren's remarks was swift. Some praised her for defending tradition, arguing that Bond has always embodied a certain archetype that would be lost if gender-swapped. Others criticised her stance as outdated, insisting that the franchise should evolve to reflect a more inclusive modern world. Social media platforms filled with debate, with hashtags like #FemaleBond and #KeepBondMale trending in response. For now, Mirren's perspective adds further fuel to a discussion that shows no signs of slowing. With the next Bond film still years away, speculation about who will don the tuxedo continues to dominate Hollywood chatter. As Mirren put it simply, Bond is, and always has been, a man.
