Ice Spice is cheekily showing off her latest tattoos.

On Sunday, September 6, the rapper, 26, posted a provocative video to Instagram showing off her new ink, which is located on the back of her upper thighs — just below her buttocks.

Ice’s new ink features the words “saint” and “sinner” on each thigh in cursive font.

“For the love of the game,” she captioned the video, which was set to the tune of her new single “Out My Face (My Baby)” featuring Lil Yachty.

Ice — real name Isis Naija Gaston — shot to fame in 2022 with the song “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and gained further recognition when she collaborated with friend Taylor Swift on the latter’s “Karma” remix the following year.

“I relate to Ice in many ways, but I think her dedication and focus is what blew me away from the very start,” Swift gushed to Variety about her pal in September 2023. “She’s extremely professional without being cold. Playful and fun without ever taking her eye off the prize. She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”

“That’s my sis. We was talking about a bunch of things,” Ice said in a Variety profile at the time. “She’s so funny. We was sipping on a little something something. Just chatting, vibing.”

Ice was on hand for Swift’s July 3 wedding to Travis Kelce, according to ESPN talk show host Pat McAfee, and even serenaded the couple with a song. Swift and Kelce, both 36, tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past summer in front of a star-studded guest list.

Taylor Swift and Ice Spice’s friendship is iconic. The two artists first teamed up for a remix of Swift’s song “Karma” in May 2023. At the time, Swift said in her Instagram announcement about their collab that she was a “massive fan” of the “brilliant” Ice Spice (real name Isis Naija Gaston), calling her “the […]

Speaking on his eponymous show in July, McAfee said he wasn’t familiar with all of the songs performed at the ceremony, including a song by Ice, but said the rapper “had a lot of energy up there.”

“I guess me saying Avril Lavigne played ‘Sk8r Boi’ was the first time that it came out,” he shared. “But she was awesome.”

“To be clear, those musicians … really cool. Like, one would just call out the other and then they would come up and they would just do their s***,” he added of the musical performances at the wedding.

“That was the most spectacular evening I have ever been a part of. I cannot wait to chit-chat about that throughout the day,” McAfee said. “I’m sure there was something that I agreed to not talk about, but from the things that I’ve been reading about, other people [are] talking about it, like, kinda sorta ’cause there were no phones in there. There is no notes section, no writing or anything, so it’s literally all just memory.”

This is hard to introduce on two fronts. What makes something overrated in the eyes of someone is pretty straightforward. That person does not like it as much as most other people seem to, and that person, on some level, feels confusion as to why so many people seem to love it. Maybe they don’t even hate what they’re calling overrated; they just feel it’s not really all that, compared to its reputation.

And then on the other front, it’s hard to justify the movies below, and there is a sense that people are inevitably going to dislike what they see here. If you imagine all this written in first person, and then read it in a whiny voice or something, maybe that’ll mitigate things. Or if you want to think people who call things overrated are themselves overrated, then knock yourself out.

‘The Leopard’ (1963)

Image via 20th Century Studios

The Leopard is big, beautiful, and boring. The idea of two out of three ain’t being all that bad, though… well, there you go. The size and beauty here count for something. Unless the size of it all (or, more specifically, the length) goes a long way toward making things boring. The Leopard goes for more than three hours, and it depicts a certain way of life dying a slow death.

Maybe it could be likened to War and Peace, but without as much war stuff, and then the drama isn’t as interesting either. There is spectacle here to some extent, and The Leopard is hard to fault on a technical front (outside its one laughable attempt at depicting a battle scene of sorts), but it’s so inert. It’s probably meant to be a bit inert and like a long sigh being let out, yet the sigh here is just too long.

‘The Sound of Music’ (1965)

Image via 20th Century Studios

Instead of being the longest musical of all time, The Sound of Music “merely” feels like the longest musical of all time. Also, there are other musicals that put too many of their memorable songs in the first half, and have very little by way of memorable music in the back half. The Rocky Horror Picture Show might well be the worst offender, but at least the first half of that movie is as great as it is.

And that film’s not too long, in any event. The Sound of Music just goes on and on, and this is something that can be said about a few big films from the 1950s and 1960s, when the film industry seemed keen to go a little bigger and longer in an attempt to compete with the rising popularity of television. It’s just The Sound of Music… on and on and on. It never ends. And you know what? Some of those beloved songs from the (still superior) first half are kind of annoying anyway.

‘Shutter Island’ (2010)

This is coming from someone who thinks a ton of Martin Scorsese movies are actually kind of underrated and over-hated (at times), but Shutter Island is a bit of a miss, by the director’s high standards. It’s perhaps fairer to say that it’s the closest Scorsese has come to missing, because Shutter Island does a few things right as a psychological thriller/mystery film, including making its main twist hit pretty hard.

It’s just like, man, everything else is kind of tedious. There are some movies that basically have a level of popularity and acclaim just because of their twists, and this is one of them. If you want to have a film that exists for a twist, don’t make the film nearly two and a half hours long. This is paced in a way where it honestly feels a good deal longer than The Irishman, despite being much shorter.

‘Ali: Fear Eats the Soul’ (1974)

It’s hard to find many negative reviews of Ali: Fear Eats the Soul. It’s been given tens of thousands of ratings on Letterboxd, and sure, it’s not a famous or super widely-watched movie, so maybe if it had hundreds of thousands of ratings, you’d start to see more dissenting opinions. But of those tens of thousands of ratings, only 110, at the time of writing, give it the lowest rating possible (0.5 stars out of 5).

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul doesn’t deserve scorn to that level, but also, what’s there to love here? Maybe it’s the fact that it feels grounded and real, but possibly more mundane than anything else, and that the romance it explores is an unconventional one, but truth be told, it is so boring. And it’s not very well-acted or put together, even if some of that awkwardness feels like it’s intentional. It’s potentially “real” and raw, but at what cost?

‘Paris, Texas’ (1984)

There are various Wim Wenders movies out there that are more interesting than Paris, Texas, which is somehow his most acclaimed film, even when Perfect Days, Until the End of the World, The American Friend, and Faraway, So Close exist. Yes, Faraway, So Close, the sequel to Wings of Desire, and not Wings of Desire. Wings of Desire is also kind of overrated. Someone trying to keep things objective and not in the first person really feels these things.

Paris, Texas is just a bit too slow, and there is more to feel with the other (and better) films by Wenders. There are some striking images here, a couple of powerful scenes, and the opportunity to see Harry Dean Stanton in a rare leading role is admittedly nice, but Paris, Texas is 145 minutes long, and you do really feel each and every one of those 145 minutes.

‘La Haine’ (1995)

It’s a movie about important things, and it does want to capture a certain youthful energy, but La Haine also feels like it’s trying too hard. On the topic of youth, the director and the main stars here were in their 20s when the film was made, but La Haine really feels like a student film stretched out to a feature-length runtime, and one where the “students” were given a bit more money than you’d expect.

The authenticity here is why it’s liked, but there is also a certain immaturity and pretentiousness to La Haine. A good chunk of the people who like it are themselves probably in film school, or around the right age. The ambition is here, and what it’s going for can be admired, but La Haine lays things on so thick, and it suffers from being overwritten at times, and as well as over-directed, like, most of the time.

‘Satantango’ (1994)

If you read positive reviews of Satantango, you’ll find people marveling at how despairing it is for such a long time, and how effectively depressing it is, as a result. It does look striking at times, and if it set out to inspire such negative emotions, then it technically succeeded. You feel the sadness the characters do, and the hopelessness of the situation.

It’s just that you have to wonder, is it really that hard to make a viewer feel bored, restless, and depressed for about seven hours? Yeah, Satantango is seven hours long. A little longer, actually. People might well be proud of themselves for conquering it, and then they give the film a rating of 4/5 or 5/5, instead of themselves. The film doesn’t deserve it, though. And, truth be told, maybe you don’t, either. You wasted your time. You felt the bad things. You felt them for a long time. You could’ve watched three good movies of a more standard length instead. But are you going to let that forever-gone time be cursed? Maybe you hand out a positive rating because what else can you do, to memorialize all that time gone to waste? Just be honest and dislike Satantango the way it dislikes you. It’s as spiteful as another long, drawn-out, boring, and bizarrely acclaimed film that’ll be mentioned in a short amount of time (if only “short” was an adjective that could be used to describe either).

‘The Sting’ (1973)

The Sting is liked for being a revenge movie with less violence than most revenge movies, and for being a mash-up of crime and comedy, genre-wise. And it’s got a memorable A-list pairing with Paul Newman and Robert Redford both starring in it, and doing their usual thing, having good chemistry, blah, blah, blah, it’s fine. It’s all good.

It is a decently good movie. It’s hard to feel anything like hatred for The Sting, but it also feels a bit minor, for lack of a better word. It inspires this feeling of “Oh, that’s it, I guess,” when it’s over. And the repetitive music throughout is annoying. There’s also a weird lack of urgency to things, when it comes to what The Sting is actually about, and the overrated allegations are being made here largely on the basis that it’s a pretty solid movie that dominated the Oscars the year it came out (winning seven all up, from 10 nominations).

‘Love Streams’ (1984)

Image via Cannon Films

With a bunch of John Cassavetes movies, it feels like he was so preoccupied with whether he could make films a certain way, he never stopped to think about whether he should make films in that certain way. Love Streams was one of his final films, and so it all feels particularly heavy with the Cassavetes-isms, because there are dysfunctional characters, little by way of plot, and so much rambling and chaotic/improvised dialogue that his films are known for having.

Apparently he said, to paraphrase the parts without profanity, “If you don’t have time to see it, don’t. If you don’t like it, don’t… I didn’t make it for you anyway,” regarding Love Streams, with this post suggesting it was said during production. So, Cassavetes knew Love Streams ran the risk of being impenetrable. It feels like some of the praise it’s received is a bit strained, honestly.

‘Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles’ (1975)

Image via Olympic Films

In 2022, Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles topped the Sight and Sound Poll of the Greatest Films of All Time, which is held every 10 years. It put more attention on Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, and that’s made it a target. So, here it is, being targeted. It is a movie about a woman living a thankless and repetitive life.

It makes its point and then uses a very long runtime to reiterate that point. You get it, and then the movie keeps on making you get it. To induce a feeling of boredom in a viewer, even if that’s the point, is not particularly impressive. Making a boring movie is not worth celebrating. There is nothing genuinely impressive about Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. It hates you and disrespects your finite time on this planet, and people seem impressed by how much it hates them, like they want to be in on being hated. It’s spiteful and pretentious cinema.

The Chainsmokers’ San Jose concert was supposed to be a night of nonstop music and celebration. Instead, the event ended with emergency vehicles surrounding the venue and multiple concertgoers being rushed to local hospitals. 

As fans packed Discovery Meadow for the electronic duo’s performance, first responders launched a large-scale medical response that ultimately saw 14 people transported for treatment, turning an otherwise energetic evening into a frightening scene.

Hours into The Chainsmokers’ Friday night performance, the San Jose Fire Department was forced to mobilize significant resources after receiving reports of attendees needing urgent medical care.

According to the department, crews responded to “multiple patients requiring medical attention” at approximately 8:22 p.m. The situation escalated quickly enough that officials expanded their response almost immediately.

“SJFD immediately requested an Ambulance Task Force, two additional advanced life support fire units, and a Battalion Chief to manage the incident and provide additional medical resources,” the fire department said in a separate update on X.

By the end of the incident, emergency officials confirmed that 14 ambulances had responded to the venue. “A total of 14 ambulances responded, and 14 patients were transported to local hospitals,” they revealed.

Footage from the scene showed emergency vehicles lined up near the concert grounds as crews worked to assist those affected while also managing traffic around the busy event.

The Chainsmokers Show Saw Most Medical Emergencies Occur Near The End

Singer k.d. lang has looked back on an unexpected encounter with supermodel Cindy Crawford in a recent interview.

The singer once sat in a barber’s chair to be shaved by Crawford and has now referred to the moment as “magical.” She also revealed how she got the opportunity through her friend, who was working on the shoot at the time.

One of the most unlikely encounters in the life of singer k.d. lang was meeting Cindy Crawford for a shoot for the August 1993 Vanity Fair cover.

Looking back at that moment in a cover story with The Guardian, Lang described it as “magical” before revealing that she inspired the director, who was her friend, to go for the shaving scene in a barber’s chair.

“I was friends with Herb [Ritts], and somehow I got the opportunity to do the Vanity Fair cover, and he was shooting it. I have kind of an obsession with cutting hair and barber shops. I don’t know where that came from…. It must be some sort of childhood visualization imprint or something,” the singer recalled.

“I suggested to Herb, maybe we can do it in a barber’s chair,” she added.

KD Lang Says Cindy Crawford Was ‘Super Professional’ During Shoot

After Lang initially suggested the scene to her friend, it took only a few days for it to come together.

They shot the scene on the rooftop of his building, and according to the singer, Crawford was “super professional,” while she found it a tad bit difficult to do the same.

“She’s a model, so it was her realm. I was trying to behave and not be an idiot. It was incredible, and I knew that it had a certain gravity to it,” Lang also recalled.

Looking back on that moment, Lang shared that they had created a “piece of art and a significant social statement” that still makes her feel proud whenever she thinks of it.

K.D. Lang Reveals How She Brings ‘Raw Vulnerability’ To Her Songs

Elsewhere in the interview, Lang was also asked how she “emotes raw vulnerability” in her songs.

To her, it all begins with trying to sing herself into the lyrics first. Then, she takes it into an internal, emotional place.

“I try to create visuals, sort of an emotional internal movie of what the lyrics possess, to relive it emotionally,” she remarked.

“With Honey and Smoke, for example, I imagine watching somebody I’m in love with dancing with somebody else and feeling jealousy,” she added, referencing her song with two members of the supergroup case/lang/veirs.

The Canadian Singer Reflects On Her Short Stint With A Super Group

Lang’s stint with the supergroup was brief, lasting just a few years and producing only one album, named after the group.

Today, she still remembers that collaboration fondly but admits it wasn’t easy.

“I remember it being quite difficult in terms of having three major artists, who had been bosses their whole lives, coming together, we had to navigate and reformulate how we worked, the structure of writing and creativity,” the singer recalled.

Although Lang didn’t exactly state it, she hinted that a reunion of the group was unlikely. However, they still remain friends to this day.

K.D. Lang Says Coming Out To Her Mother Was A ‘Big Deal’

3

Years ago, Lang revealed how she came out to her mother, sharing that it began with the pain of experiencing heartbreak as a young teenager.

“I came out to my mum when I was 17. My high school sweetheart had left me for someone else, and I was really upset. It was hard. My mum was a Christian, and this was early; this was 1977 or 1978,” she said.

“So, that was a pretty big deal in a small town then, and my mum struggled with it for a couple of years,” the singer added.

Today, their relationship is much stronger, largely because of everything she has accomplished and the public recognition she has received.

If brown shoes feel like an obvious choice for fall, don’t worry. We’re seeing one standout shoe trend everywhere right now, and it’s a bit more interesting: burgundy loafers. The deep red hue has all the richness we want from an autumnal neutral, but with a subtle pop of color that makes even jeans and a sweater look more polished.

There are plenty of ways to try the trend, too. We found 13 burgundy loafers in everything from buttery suede and genuine leather to plush velvet and croc-embossed finishes, with silhouettes ranging from classic penny loafers to modern mules and even an adidas sneaker-loafer hybrid. Whether you want a timeless pair for the office or a fashion-forward style to give your everyday fall outfits a little extra oomph, these rich-looking burgundy picks are ready to step in.

13 Rich-Looking Burgundy Loafers for Fall

1. Pleated Polish: These slip-on loafers prove that comfort and polish can coexist. The soft PU leather upper feels elegant, thanks to pleated detailing and a monk strap. A cushioned footbed helps keep blisters and irritation at bay — and the 0.79-inch block heel adds just enough lift for an easy everyday shoe.

2. Suede Staple: Suede and burgundy? Talk about a fall dream team. These timeless loafers have a round toe, metal vamp detailing and a ballerina-inspired shape that feels feminine without being fussy. A thick latex-cushioned insole and breathable canvas lining make this pair an especially tempting choice for days spent on your feet.

3. Leather Luxury: A genuine leather loafer is one of those wardrobe investments that never really goes out of style. This moccasin-inspired pair keeps things wonderfully comfortable with a lightweight construction and easy slip-on design, plus a soft memory foam insole that adds cushioning with every step. Consider it your polished finishing touch for everything from straight-leg jeans to tailored trousers.

4. Golden Detail: The ruched apron toe was enough to catch our attention, but the little gold ornament on the penny keeper really seals the deal. This suede loafer puts a quietly luxe spin on the classic silhouette with gathered stitching and a low block heel. It’s also made with a special cushioned footbed for more flexibility and shock absorption.

5. Italian Romance: If you’re looking for a pair that makes your fall wardrobe feel instantly more luxurious, this one’s a strong contender. Crafted from 100% Italian cowhide leather, the penny loafer gets a feminine flourish from its bow detail and petite 0.8-inch metal heel. An Ortholite insole provides cushioned arch support, so the elegant design is made for more than just looking pretty.

Fall may just be my favorite season. Cozy candles, delicious pumpkin-spice drinks and nostalgic films just do something to me — but the seasonal fashion tops it all.

Slip them on with relaxed denim for a casual coffee run or tailored pants when you’re aiming for something a little more polished.

8. Mule Mood: The loafer-mule combo is a particularly chic shortcut for fall dressing. This pair keeps the classic loafer DNA intact with a polished gold buckle, then cuts out the back for an easy slip-on finish. And the fact that it’s currently on sale certainly doesn’t hurt!

9. Platform Penny: For anyone who likes a little extra height, this Calvin Klein loafer delivers without going full high heel. The sleek penny-loafer silhouette sits atop a 1-inch platform and 1.5-inch block heel, giving the classic style a modern boost. It’ll instantly make wide-leg trousers, jeans or a midi skirt feel more intentional.

10. Croc Texture: A little texture can take a classic loafer from basic to very chic. This faux-leather style features croc-embossed detailing across the upper, plus a traditional penny-strap bridge for timeless appeal. The streamlined shape keeps things polished, while the lugged sole adds a modern, grounded edge that’s perfect for fall.

11. Sporty Twist: The loafer just got a sporty makeover! These Adidas shoes blend a traditional apron-toe silhouette and penny strap with a flexible, grippy rubber sole, then add its signature hardware and serrated 3-Stripes for a subtle hit of athletic flair.

12. Velvet Riches: Velvet loafers practically beg to be worn with fall’s best outfits.
