Addison Rae suffers wardrobe malfunction as she accidentally exposes her derriere in LA
Addison Rae had a bit of a fashion emergency in Los Angeles. The Diet Pepsi songstress stepped out to collect her mail in an oversize T-shirt and tiny shorts - which failed to shield her behind. As Rae, 24, fetched her deliveries, she inadvertently flashed her derriere. She was perhaps distracted by her cumbersome arm full of items, consisting of a package, magazine, shopping bag and water bottle. While the upper portion of her outfit was rather dressed down, she did add a fashionable touch with patriotic cowboy boots and knee highs. The outing comes shortly after she sparked dating rumors with singer Sombr. On Sunday, the Headphones On singer was spotted with the 20-year-old musician after grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles. After stepping out of the restaurant, the pair appeared to be deep in conversation as they walked and talked. They looked smitten with each other as they shared a laugh and gave each other a big hug in front of their ride. Rae was last romantically linked to record producer Omer Fedi for over three years up until as recently as January. Their outing comes just days after Sombr released his retro-inspired music video for his single, 12 to 12, which stars Rae as his love interest. In the video, the pair dance sensually on the dance floor and nearly kiss at the very end. Rae was last romantically linked to music producer Omer Fedi after they were spotted together in June 2021. In the years following, she had posted a number of photos with her boyfriend on social media but has not made any recent public appearances together. However, in January, Rae told Rolling Stone in an interview that she was still in a relationship with the musician at the time. In recent months, ever since she released her debut studio album Addison in June and as she prepares to embark on a sold-out tour in support of her record, she has not made any more appearances with Fedi. In mid-June, she announced her world tour, which will see her performing across Europe, North America and Australia, as she unveiled the dates for her debut concert tour. The Addison Tour is set to kick off in Dublin, Ireland on August 26 with stops scheduled in cities across Europe, such as Manchester, London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin and Cologne. She will wrap up her concert tour in Sydney, Australia later this year in November.

Addison Rae's VERY sexy selfies catch the attention of a controversial country pop star
Country pop star Jessie Murph has sparked controversy after the release of her song 1965, a track featuring lyrics about relinquishing rights and tolerating a 'slap-slap' for a romantic relationship - with the music video also facing accusations of praising pornography and domestic violence. And the backlash continued after Jessie left a flirty comment on Addison Rae 's recent thirst trap - with followers attempting to keep the musician from the influencer. A fully-clothed Addison, 24, donned red stilettos as she struck seductive poses on her bed, a checkered red crop top showing off her arched back. 'Hot,' Jessie, 20, commented. The message garnered 644 'likes' - but several Addison fans jumped in to seemingly prevent any further communication from occurring, with one telling Jessie to return to 1965. 'STAY AWAY FROM HER,' one Instagram user said directly to Jessie. Murph, pictured May, has been accused of glorifying pornography and domestic violence through her new song 1965 'girl get out,' another told Jessie. 'get OUT OF HERE,' one commenter wrote while another wrote in, 'shoo go baq to 1965.' 'not jessie murph,' one wrote with two sob emojis, prompting one to reply, 'no fr i frowned.' 'Jessie Murph is... A choice but go off baddie,' another posted. 'Her music is trash, is what they are saying,' one said in response. Jessie's controversial 1965 track sees the musician singing about giving 'up a few rights' and taking 'a slap' if it meant she'd be treated more respectfully by men. She performed the controversial tune on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with the lines yearning for her beau to 'love her like it's 1965'. Her ballad was also nostalgic for a time period where courting gentlemen were 'handwriting letters' and 'showing up at the door with flowers' instead of 'hit[ting] [women] up on Snapchat' at 2am. The track also includes risque lines like 'I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn't hit me on Snapchat' and 'I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty'. During her Tonight Show performance, the star donned a Priscilla Presley beehive and a baby pink mini dress with patterned tights as she danced on a stage with a retro sofa in what appeared to be a recreation of the 'tradwife' lifestyle, charming husband on hand. The term refers to women who perform 'traditional' gendered roles, often likened to the archetypal 1950s 'housewife'. Recent interest in the aesthetic has seen millions on social media calling for girls to ditch corporate life and instead, dedicate their days to cooking, cleaning, wearing modest and feminine dress, and practicing traditional etiquette - as well as being submissive to their husbands. Jessie's tune attracted fury online, with many branding the remark 'tasteless' for making light of a time in which women endured horrific misogyny. In both England and the US, marital rape was still legal during the era, and women could not open their own bank account, among other restrictions. She seductively arched her back as she climbed into bed in her red high heels 'In 1965, it was legal for men to rape their wives. I don't care if this is meant to be ironic or satirical or whatever, I absolutely hate it,' one commenter on social media penned. Another added: 'Like what does loving like it's 1965 even mean? Getting your a** beat? having no rights is romantic? I hate the white woman 50s-60s "aesthetic".' A third simply exclaimed: '"I think id give up a few rights if you would just love me like it's 1965" SORRY?????' 'Call me too woke but "I would give up rights if you love me like it's 1965" at a time where women are actually losing rights is so insane???' another offered. Others similarly agreed, writing: 'Has anyone else heard the song 1965 by Jessie Murph? 'Read the lyrics, it's literally far right propaganda that is encouraging women to give up their rights. People are saying it's satire but given everything going on, why say this while we are literally at risk of losing our rights ??'. After her performance, Jessie thanked the Tonight show for a 'dazzling' and 'grand time'. The Alabama-born singer first rose to fame from uploading vlogs and song covers to TikTok and YouTube - which led her on to releasing her two albums: That Ain't No Man That's the Devil in 2024 and Sex Hysteria in 2025. She also received backlash when the music video for her song, 1965, was released - with some accusing the footage of being pornography, Taste of Country reported. In the retro-inspired clips that shows a family around a table - and Jessie forlornly singing to a child - as there is also a brief shot of a couple having sex. The clip - which has to have age verification to be watched - drew comments like 'the fact that YouTube removes videos for way less and this is still up is insane'.

Addison Rae churns out serviceable beats in debut album
BEFORE venturing into music full-time, Addison Rae was a popular content creator on TikTok. Like most Gen Zs, Rae's feed mainly consisted of dance videos, lip-syncs and comedic skits with other creators on the app. But in 2021, the 24-year-old dipped her toes into music with the release of her debut single Obsessed. The venture was cut short due to a slew of negative reviews, which prompted Rae to seek refuge in acting and cosmetics. The hiatus did not last long as Rae found moderate success with her debut EP AR. Almost two years later, the Louisiana native returns more ready than ever to delve further in music, releasing a full-length album Addison. Pop in mind Throughout the album's 12 tracks, Rae immerses herself in the various forms of pop, expressing her musicality through trip hop, dance-pop and house music. Coming from a strong dance background and adoring pop music, Rae envisioned Addison to be a dance record. The album's first introduction itself is a straightforward impression of this. Though moody in nature, Diet Pepsi moves listeners with its dreamy synth pop melody, while singing of the immortal feeling of young love. The rest of the album mimics this vision too. From the opening track New York to the last track Headphones On, the album is made for pop music lovers in mind. Its simple yet infectious productions will have you singing and dancing along to its fun and lively nature. Fame is a Gun, Times Like These and Aquamarine are offerings to look forward to on Addison. Convincing transition Considering her background as a professional dancer, it seems appropriate for Rae to adopt this musical direction. The songstress has adequate dancing skills and vocal chops to pull this aspiration off. Many personalities of her nature, before her – be it reality stars or social media personalities – often struggle to make the crossover to the music world. It is, therefore, commendable of her to make a convincing musical debut. Her musical efforts have dissociated her from the previous personality she crafted on TikTok. The majority of listeners will indeed view her solely as a new artiste, increasing the probability that her musical aspirations are taken seriously. Carbon copy That said, not much is exciting about her tracks. While they can be pleasing to the ear, they are not memorable. They do not make a lasting impact on most casual listeners. Their lack of originality is the reason for this. Rae's songs do not have much individuality to them. They can pass off as other artistes' work in the current pop landscape. Songs such as Diet Pepsi, Headphones On and Fame is a Gun, for instance, are reminiscent of the early works of Lana Del Ray and Britney Spears. Lack of range Another issue with Addison is the absence of musical diversity. The songs on the album closely resemble one another. Be it the song's progression or Rae's vocal technique, there is a common set of elements that are recycled throughout the record. The tempos are the only differentiating factor. She may have done this to be sonically cohesive, but this prevents Rae from demonstrating her musical range. In return, this may discourage listeners from staying on for more. If Rae strives to be known for her singles rather than albums, her current efforts will lead her there. Judging from her interviews and performances, this is clearly not the case. If anything, Rae has the potential to be among pop's new generation of promising artistes. The Diet Pepsi hitmaker just needs a bit more time to sharpen her musical identity. Addison, overall, passes off as a serviceable musical offering. It may not be remarkable, but it certainly has the treats to keep you afloat in the meantime.

These social media stars conquered the internet. They still wanted more.
From the top of your feed to the top of the charts: Why the biggest social media stars like MrBeast, Addison Rae and Alex Warren still chase mainstream fame. A jumble of young people in trendy athleisure outfits gathered in a living room in Feb. 2020 to watch an internet-famous magician do card tricks. This was a typical day for members of the Hype House, a group of mostly teenage social media-famous stars who lived and worked together to create as much content as possible. Two people in this particular video stand out, though: the scruffy guy shoving his camera into the magician's face, and the woman with the longest, blondest hair and the biggest smile. They're Alex Warren and Addison Rae. You might not have been familiar with them then, but five years later, the two 24-year-olds are among the biggest pop stars in the country. Warren, who has honed his voice and his wife guy persona, is well on his way to having the song of summer with 'Ordinary,' an unavoidable track dominating TikTok posts, charts and radio airwaves. He's about to tour his brand-new album, You'll Be Alright, Kid, which was released July 18. Rae, meanwhile, is the heir apparent to Charli XCX's Brat summer era, embracing both melancholy and party girl aesthetics with her June 2025 album, Addison. People just can't stop talking about the visually stunning 2010s aesthetic Rae, who is also on the cusp of a tour, has cultivated by surrounding herself with the era's pop icons, like Lana Del Rey, and how she has subverted irrelevance after her first single, 2023's 'Obsessed,' flopped. What's so fascinating about Warren and Rae's breakout success is that they were among the most followed people on TikTok in 2020, when people — including their target audience of Gen Z-ers — were spending more time on their phones than ever. TikTok is now less of a phenomenon and more of a staple in the massive creator economy projected to have $500 billion flowing among platforms, influencers and audiences annually by 2027. According to a 2024 survey from Morning Consult, 88% of Gen Z respondents say they follow influencers, and many trust them more than traditional celebrities. If Warren and Rae had remained solely influencers, evolving online in accordance with trends in the usual ways young people do when they grow up, they would be financially successful, profiting from ad revenue on social media and brand deals. We've already seen them recover from their fair share of career missteps, like Warren's participation in the failed Netflix reality show about the Hype House, and Rae's performance in the social media-tinged, gender-swapped reboot of He's All That. They're both resilient and really good at commanding an audience online. They just wanted something more. Making it Getting signed to a major label, landing a TV show on a popular streaming service or getting a movie made by a big Hollywood studio is the 'pinnacle of acceptance,' Paul Telner, head of programming at influencer marketing agency Viral Nation, tells Yahoo. Stars still benefit from having popular social media accounts as their home base, or 'HQ,' but they also want to 'extend their brands' to be seen by audiences beyond TikTok, he says. 'Hollywood is Soho House, and we all want to get into it, see people, shake hands and be seen. That's the cool club!' he says. '[These influencers] want to be big stars and be accepted in that way, but there are levels [to fame] … you don't need to be on TV to make it.' For some creators, making enough money on social media that it becomes a full-time job is the dream. Others see themselves as their own companies with infinite potential, and posting online is just one potential revenue stream. Telner says traditional fame is appealing to some creators because it offers the opportunity to have a bigger production budget to 'help bring big ideas to life.' Since social media is so volatile — algorithms change, platforms rise and fall, even TikTok is still technically on the verge of a U.S. ban — traditional fame offers a 'more structured ecosystem that can sustain careers,' Chimene Mantori, founder of influencer management company Solace Talent, tells Yahoo. 'Building a presence outside of the platform they're known for isn't just smart, it's essential for brand growth and long-term sustainability,' she says. 'When your identity is tied solely to one format, it can limit how people see you and how far you can go.' A handful of stars known for their television, movie and music careers got their start as creatives sharing their craft online, and then jumped at the chance for bigger budgets, more acclaim and wider reach. Quinta Brunson was a BuzzFeed video star who's now the Emmy-winning actress and creator of her own network TV show, Abbott Elementary. Danny and Michael Philippou are YouTubers turned trailblazing horror movie auteurs behind some of the genre's most-praised hits of the decade. Liza Koshy has gone from Vine star to a scene-stealing actress in big-budget studio films like The Naked Gun. Chaotic social media powerhouses Jake and Logan Paul are now athletes. Emma Chamberlain began her career as a quirky YouTuber and became a Vogue mainstay who sits front row during Paris Fashion Week. Justin Bieber wasn't really an influencer, but he was discovered after going viral for his singing videos. The same has happened on YouTube, Tumblr and MySpace for singers like the Weeknd, Halsey and dozens of others. Mainstream fame offers creative validation to creators who have been uploading their own content and crafting their image, Lucy Robertson, head of brand marketing at influencer agency Buttermilk, tells Yahoo. It's the 'ultimate external stamp of success' to be noticed and corralled into Hollywood — especially for influencers who consider themselves artists, she says. It's truly impressive when a star becomes so famous that their internet roots aren't what they're best known for, as the lines between online and traditional fame are more blurred now than ever. Movie stars like Scarlett Johansson are encouraged to maintain social media accounts. On the other hand, MrBeast, host and executive producer of Prime Video's most-watched competition series ever, is arguably the most influential creator in the world with 417 million YouTube subscribers on his main channel. He isn't rushing to leave his online fame behind. He might be driving 50 million views on his streaming series, but that's nowhere near his biggest YouTube video's 857 million views. At the moment, he's got the best of both worlds. Like MrBeast, even mainstream entertainers can't ignore how easy it can be to make money off of an online audience, but that doesn't make them want mainstream stardom any less. Liam Parkinson, cofounder at creator payment company Inflverse, tells Yahoo that he spoke with a successful comedian who said she makes 10 times as much money posting online as she does performing for a crowd, but 'that buzz of being in front of a live audience would never be replaced by numbers online.' 'Creators still crave traditional fame because it offers a different kind of permanence and legitimacy. Online fame can be fast and fleeting. … Traditional media still carries real cultural weight,' Parkinson says. 'It puts you in front of new audiences and embeds you in public consciousness in a way the internet often doesn't. … Creators can earn serious money online, but many still see legacy media as the next level. Even if the paycheck is smaller, it's about reach, credibility and building something that lasts.' Front pages, not followers There are certain measures of success that are still only attainable by the traditionally famous, like in-person performances, prestigious awards and magazine covers. Young creators are driven by those tangible, nostalgic goals, Justine D'Addio, founder and lead publicist at Hyde Park PR, tells Yahoo. 'Some creators may have always fantasized about becoming a pop star when they were younger, so they started filming themselves dancing around in their rooms when a powerful algorithm suddenly catapulted them to online fame,' she says. 'Millions of followers later, they not only want to make their childhood dream a reality, but they're being actively encouraged to do so because they have the resources and a dialed-in audience to make it happen.' As a publicist, D'Addio worked with creators who are more excited about seeing their names in print than getting millions of views on a TikTok post. The rise of social media — which mints droves of influencers that are extremely famous among much smaller audiences than the superstars who came before the digital age — has 'made traditional fame extremely scarce.' 'These days, only a handful of creators can even come close to embodying the level of popularity that Britney Spears or Justin Bieber once did. But they can try,' D'Addio says. Though it's not everyone's motivation, it's worth noting that achieving traditional fame can make creators feel like they truly belong. Not everyone is accepted. Some people are quietly deemed unworthy of prestigious, mainstream spaces, entertainment journalist Tatyana Arrington tells Yahoo. 'It's the same reason that Kylie Jenner got backlash for attending awards season events with Timothée Chalamet — she's not 'supposed to' be there,' she says. Being featured in a Netflix film, touring your critically acclaimed album and helming your own TV show signals credibility to broader audiences. Kendale King, a CPA who works as a business manager for creators and brands, tells Yahoo that older generations and gatekeepers are less likely to value online success as a singular measure of fame. Joke's on them, though, because no matter how people become famous, they've accomplished something amazing. Creative people 'are always seeking platforms where they can engage people,' Nikhil Malik, visiting faculty at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, tells Yahoo. The fact that so many people do it themselves and find wide audiences without the help of the Hollywood machine is just a testament to their talent and hard work. Malik says it's too soon to tell if elevating influencers to mainstream success is 'financially wise' for the traditional entertainment industry, but he wouldn't be surprised if many of the biggest stars in the next few decades get their start on social media. 'Creators want … institutional validation from people who have been around for decades. At some point, being very successful with your narrow audience isn't satisfying anymore. I think they're trying to break out of their echo chambers,' he says. This sentiment seems to be clearly reflected through Warren, whom I spoke with at the creator economy conference VidCon 2022. He had just reached the peak of his internet fame and had begun trying to figure out his next move. He told me that all he wanted to do was sing. I was surprised — he was so well-known for his prank videos, and his success story was already so moving. At 18, he got kicked out of his house and began living in his car. His social media posts brought him fame, fortune and even introduced him to his now-wife, Kouvr Annon. At the time, he didn't see that success as the end of his story, but the beginning. He channeled the money and connections he made online into voice lessons and writing sessions. Now in July 2025, he's got the No. 1 song in the country. There are many reasons to strive to break out of internet fame to become traditionally famous. It can be financially lucrative, creatively rewarding and personally satisfying. If your dreams are coming true, even on a smaller scale, you might as well swing for the fences like Warren. Solve the daily Crossword
