'Honey, what you runnin' from? / When you comin' back to bed? / Toss and turn it all night long with me instead / Honey, what you runnin' from? / Where the hell you headed to? / Do you like the way I run after you?' he sings throughout the song.
While Hudson starred in the music video as a director, '2001' was actually helmed by Finneas' girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski, who was inspired by the 1968 film of the same name, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
'When I first started conceptualizing this music video, I knew I wanted to pay homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey with nods to some of the film's most iconic set-ups like the fisheye lens and the upside-down sequence, along with a few little easter eggs from the behind-the-scenes of the film ,' Sulewski said in a press release. 'To play off Finneas' lyrics, I wanted to mix in some light, cheeky moments between Finneas and Kate. An actor hopelessly in love with his director, who couldn't care less and is only focused on making a great film.'
'2001' hails from Finneas' second studio album, For Cryin' Out Loud, which also included fellow tracks 'Family Feud' and 'Lotus Eater.' Aside from his music, Finneas notably picked up four Grammy nominations at the 2025 awards ceremony, all stemming from Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft. The record picked up a nod for the coveted album of the year, as well as for the song/record of the year categories.

Inside Nike's all-women half-marathon in L.A.: the good, the bad and the surprising
After running — or more like barely surviving — my first half-marathon about a decade ago in Las Vegas, I had no desire to participate in a long-distance run ever again. That was until I learned that Nike was hosting the Nike After Dark tour, a women's race series designed to celebrate women and encourage them to get into the sport. The L.A. half-marathon — the tour's only stop in the U.S. — was slated to include a concert with Grammy-winning rapper Doechii at the end of the 13.1 mile race. Given that Nike has built a reputation for curating cool, culture-forward experiences, I figured this would be the perfect way for me to get out of my years-long retirement from running. Plus, several of my friends were participating so it was bound to be a good time. Advertisement Read more: 18 inspiring L.A. run clubs to kickstart your running era After training for several weeks at parks and tracks around L.A., I hit the pavement alongside nearly 15,000 participants — 43% of whom were first-time half-marathoners — on Saturday evening at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The event sparked a lot of online chatter — not all positive — with some runners calling the race disorganized and a marketing event catered to influencers. As for me, I experienced several highs during the energetic event, but also some moments of frustration and confusion. Here's how the night went down, from the starting line (and the journey in getting there) to the high-octane concert finale. Pre-race: Getting to the starting line was a marathon in itself Knowing that thousands of people were expected to participate in the event, I opted to get to the SoFi Stadium about an hour and a half early to avoid traffic. In hindsight, I should've arrived even earlier. Several streets were blocked off due to the race, but once I found the parking lot, it was easy for me to find a spot — much easier than it was at the recent Kendrick Lamar and SZA concert a few weeks prior. (While registration for the race started at $150, parking was thankfully free for those who secured a spot ahead of time.) After experiencing long lines and a delayed start time, runners gather in their assigned corrals to prepare for the 13.1-mile race. (Luke Johnson / Los Angeles Times) I followed a herd of people toward the entrance where we went through a security checkpoint, then a bag check line, which took about 30 minutes to get through. Afterward, I rushed outside to find my friends and waited in yet another line — this time for the porta-potties — which took about 40 minutes. The starting line, at last By this time, there were only about 10 minutes until race time and I still needed to stretch, so my group ran over to the starting corrals. The race was initially scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., but an emcee announced that it was being pushed back to 6:45 p.m. This made me nervous because the concert was set for 9:30 p.m., so this meant that I'd have less than three hours to finish if I wanted to catch the show. Advertisement In the weeks leading up to the marathon, some participants took to social media to voice their concerns about Nike changing its course time from four hours — as it stated on the registration form — to three hours. In one Threads post, a runner said: "If the whole purpose of this event was to reclaim running by giving women a space to feel safe running at night, then why wouldn't you be inclusive to runners of all paces?" In response to the feedback, Nike ultimately set the course time to three hours and 17 minutes, allowing for an average mile of 15 minutes per mile, according to a Nike spokesperson. The brand added a shorter course option, which was nine miles, so participants could still cross the finish line, receive a medal (a silver necklace with a giant Nike swoosh) and enjoy the concert. Despite the confusion, people were amped. "I'm at this phase in my life where I really want to prove to myself that I can do hard things," said Ayanna Fox, 29, of Chino Hills, on why she wanted to participate. Misty Garcia, 17, a Venice High School student, said: 'I felt like this race in particular was so interesting because it was going to be mostly women and it's about women empowerment, so I love it.' Advertisement As Charli xcx's "360" played over the speakers, Nike trainers along with Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and Olympic hurdler Anna Cockrell, hyped up the crowd as each corral took off. This was the point when my nerves started to kick in because I was eager to get started. About 7:05 p.m., a burst of smoke popped. I was finally off and running.

(Luke Johnson / Los Angeles Times) Miles 1-7: The excitement of activations, DJs and cheering fans The first seven miles were the most exhilarating for me. I felt strong and confident about my pace. And for my legs, this stretch was smooth sailing. Hundreds of people were cheering from the sidelines and holding up signs with statements like "You run better than our government," "Hot girls run half marathons" and "Hurry up so we can drink." Drivers along the freeway were honking for us. DJs played upbeat house and hip-hop music. USC's band performed. Between the six- and seven-mile marker, we ran through a tunnel that was filled with flashing red lights and bubble machines. The energy was electric. Supporters cheer and hold signs as runners embark on the Nike After Dark half marathon in L.A. Several brands including Flamingo, Honey Stinger (which gave out free energy gels and snacks) and Beats by Dre had activations along the course.

I felt like I was running up and down a sharp roller coaster. Without music, I was forced to talk myself through the final stretch. But it was in these trenches that I noticed several sweet moments of community care: a volunteer passing out Bengay cream, a group of friends holding up a woman as she limped, runners shouting out their home countries and waving their flags in the wake of the ICE raids that were happening in our city at this very moment. It was a beautiful reminder of how much better we are as people when we support one another.

Scarlett Johansson Is Nearly Unrecognizable on Set of New Film
Scarlett Johansson Is Nearly Unrecognizable on Set of New Film originally appeared on Parade. Scarlett Johansson, is that you? The Academy Award nominee, 40, was photographed looking nearly unrecognizable on the set of her upcoming film, Paper Tiger. In the photos captured on Monday, June 9, ScarJo is sporting a dramatically different look, with short, tightly curled blonde hair, understated makeup, and a casual, somewhat retro-inspired outfit that marks a noticeable departure from her usual red carpet style. Paper Tiger, directed by James Gray, is described as a crime drama thriller about two brothers pursuing the American dream who get entangled with the Russian mafia. Johansson will star alongside Miles Teller and her Marriage Story co-star Adam Driver. Originally, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong were set to star in Paper Tiger. However, according to reports, they exited the project due to prior commitments. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 The release date for the highly anticipated film is still unknown, but thankfully, fans can catch ScarJo this July in Jurassic World Rebirth. Even with her countless praised roles and accolades, joining the Jurassic Park franchise has always been a dream for Johansson. 'I had a meeting with him and I don't actually know if he knew the depths of my Jurassic fandom, but I'm hoping that no one explained it to him too thoroughly because it maybe would've come off as being a little too much,' ScarJo explained in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, referring to Steve Spielberg. 'Although knowing Steven now, he was excited when I shared with how much it would mean to me to play any part in Jurassic,' she added. 'I could've played it cooler and maybe I wouldn't have gotten it.' Jurassic World Rebirth hits theaters on Wednesday, July 2.
