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 Platt viral Diet Pepsi cover explained by Bowen Yang at Las Culturistas Culture Awards
Ben Platt's orchestral cover of Addison Rae's Diet Pepsi at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards has gone viral, and co-host Bowen Yang has revealed how the performance came to life. The ceremony, which aired Aug. 5 on Bravo, featured Platt delivering a dramatic string-backed rendition of Rae's pop single. Fans were quick to share clips online, with one video on Bravo's TikTok account surpassing three million views. Yang told that he and co-host Matt Rogers wanted a moment that reflected recent pop culture. 'It feels like Diet Pepsi was this thing we all locked in on as a culture,' Yang explained. Rogers, who first suggested the idea, added that Platt 'sings Addison Rae's Diet Pepsi in the style of an Oscar ballad, and it's better than you think.' According to Yang, Platt was enthusiastic from the start. Once he heard the song, he was struck by its emotional potential. At the awards, he performed alongside a live string orchestra, delivering a heartfelt interpretation that highlighted the track's dramatic key change. The cover drew widespread praise from fans online, who described it as 'emotional,' 'surprisingly powerful,' and compared it to Kelly Clarkson's Kellyoke series. Many called for it to be released officially — and by Aug. 10, Platt confirmed on Instagram that the live version was streaming on Spotify. Though Diet Pepsi was nominated for Record of the Year at the Culture Awards, it ultimately lost to Lady Gaga's Abracadabra. Still, Yang emphasized that Platt's performance was a defining highlight of the night. The viral cover has since become a cultural talking point, blending internet humor with genuine artistry. As Yang summed up, 'He nailed that key change.'
