Nepo grandbaby blasted as 'insufferable' and 'talentless' for 'moaning' about her luxe life in new pop song - directed by her Oscar-winning mum
She's the granddaughter of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and daughter of Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola. And now Romy Mars, 18, a fully-fledged nepo grandbaby and aspiring pop star, has released a new song in which she laments the emotional emptiness of wealth, fame and red-carpet glamour. Titled A-Listers, it details the hollowness of growing up in unimaginable privilege - complete with references to private yachts, LA mansions, and fake romances with other rich kids. And in a truly on-brand move, the music video was directed by none other than her Oscar-winning mother Sofia, 54, whose big-screen hits include Lost in Translation and The Bling Ring. In the new music video, Romy sings: 'Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches / And one day I'll be bored with everything that I've got / Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. And while some have praised her for being 'self-aware' or 'meta,' others see it as a tone-deaf example of a celebrity offspring using their connections to produce content that ultimately flaunts the very privilege it claims to critique. One viewer commented on the video: 'It's tasteless to call your multitudes of wealth that you didn't earn "a bore".'; While another fumed: 'This is talentless, insufferable, overproduced, nepo-baby garbage, and no amount of astroturfing will change that.' Romy, whose father is musician Thomas Mars, 48, sings about her luxurious life that she also feels detached from: 'Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht / Just to feel something real,' And the chorus bluntly spells out the mood: 'Heartless, tasteless, nameless, famous / Never, ever on my waitlist.' Whether the song is meant as satire or sincere teenage angst remains up for debate - but the message is clear: Romy has grown up with privilege, and A-Listers is her way of telling us she finds it all rather tiresome. She sings in the pre-chorus: 'I love this golden sunny West Coast / Sceney plastic world, I miss being a real girl, sure / But I'm not a real girl anymore.' The release of her new song comes just two years after she went viral in March 2023 with a now-deleted TikTok video. And in a truly on-brand move, the music video was directed by none other than her Oscar-winning mother Sofia, 54, whose big-screen hits include Lost in Translation and The Bling Ring (Romy and her mother Sofia pictured in 2020) And while some have praised her for being 'self-aware' or 'meta,' others see it as a tone-deaf example of a celebrity offspring using their connections to produce content that ultimately flaunts the very privilege it claims to critique In the clip, Romy attempted to make pasta as she confessed that she was grounded for trying to charter a helicopter on her dad's credit card to visit a friend in Maryland. She said of her parents' ban on public social media: 'They don't want me to be a nepotism kid,' But the irony was not lost on the internet and the video quickly racked up millions of views. Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family's privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was 'not thrilled' about the viral moment. 'She's funny,' she said. 'But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would've hoped for.' As well as being Sofia's only child, Romy is part of the sprawling Coppola dynasty, which includes director Gia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage - Sofia's cousin. She was scouted for Marc Jacobs Beauty at just 13-years-old, and regularly appears at fashion weeks, film festivals and museum galas where her surname guarantees a front-row seat.

EXCLUSIVE: The Bryant Park free summer movie lineup is officially here
Those free movie nights at Bryant Park aren't just a beloved annual tradition for attendees, but for spectators, too. (Seriously, who doesn't love watching the weekly scramble of everyone trying to plop their picnic blanket in the ideal spot to watch Jaws for the 1,000th time? It's a movie in and of itself!) And we're gloriously getting yet another season of the summertime favorite when Paramount+ Movie Nights at Bryant Park returns with a bold lineup of celebrated films and crowd-pleasing favorites next month. Bryant Park's big screen will light up summer nights in Midtown beginning on June 9 with an 8pm showing of the 1980s Molly Ringwald classic, Pretty in Pink. And there are plenty more great flicks where that came from—the free series will run weekly on Monday nights through August 11, with everything from Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar-winning masterpiece The Godfather to Christopher Nolan's sci-fi weeper Interstellar all ready to be enjoyed under the stars in midtown Manhattan. 'Each summer, we see strangers become neighbors on the lawn,' said Dan Biederman, president of Bryant Park Corporation. 'Movie Nights remind us how powerful simple moments, like watching a great film outdoors, can be in bringing people together.' What's the full lineup for Bryant Park Movie Nights? Check out all of the top-notch titles you'll be able to watch for free this summer at Bryant Park: June 9: Pretty in Pink June 16: The Wood June 23: Kinky Boots June 30: Stand by Me July 7: Good Will Hunting July 14: Interstellar July 21: Ghost July 28: Pulp Fiction August 4: Blades of Glory August 11: The Godfather What time should I get to Bryant Park for movie nights? As mentioned, these summertime screenings are very popular, so Bryant Park recommends getting there at 6pm in order to snag a good spot. However, we suggest getting there even earlier, like 5pm, when the lawn opens for picnicking. Can I bring food to Bryant Park movie night? Yes, you're welcome to BYO food and drinks. But if you don't want to a haul a picnic basket through midtown, food items are curated by Hester Street Fair on the Fountain Terrace and available for purchase. You can also snag for-purchase beer, wine and summer spritzes from Stout NYC on the eastern end of the lawn beginning at 5pm. What else do I need to know?
