Emily Lind's New Music Video Feels Like a Lost Vacation

Much of Emily Lind's new music video for her single "Tantra Practice" was filmed on a pink children's camcorder. These grainy fragments of footage suit the lo-fi, atmospheric song, the lyrics of which the musician and actress describes to PAPER as "a collection of memories." → Read More

Mj Rodriguez Makes History With Her Emmy Nomination

It's Emmy nominations day, which means that it's time to form some opinions about all the shows, good and bad, that have gotten us through this shitshow of a year. → Read More

Olivia Jade Fact Checks 'Gossip Girl'

A throwaway line from ​Gossip Girl​'s first episode ("Olivia Jade gained followers when her mom went to jail") brought back some dark memories that hadn't made headlines in a while. → Read More

The New 'Gossip Girl' Also Has a New Soundtrack

The new "Gossip Girl" soundtrack is the work of music supervisor Rob Lowry (The Bold Type, Ramy, Love Life), brought on by showrunner Joshua Safran and inheriting the legacy of Alexandra Patsavas. → Read More

The Big Business of Being Brittany Broski

Broski is the TikTok artist formerly known as Kombucha Girl, a reaction meme that got some good laughs in 2019 but should hardly define the genre of deftly casual stoner comedy videos that have propelled her to fame and fortune in the two years since. → Read More

Courtney Love Made a Meme

One of the only celebrities worth following on Instagram is Courtney Love. She's living in London, reflecting on her past and present, boycotting Spotify and generally keeping the '90s rock star spirit alive. She's also making memes — or at least, she's made one meme, and it's not a bad effort at all for someone who is famously Gen X. → Read More

ZĀN Travels Through Space and Time With 'tu'

"tu" is ZĀN's first release since 2018's Gulnaz EP, as well as their first Urdu-Hindi single. Premiering with ​PAPER ​today, it's a rhythmic loop of musical influences and childhood memories — and don't those tend to be the same thing? → Read More

Camila Mendes Always Keeps Her Cool

Camila Mendes on her past life as a Tisch playwriting student, the stresses of filming "Riverdale" in Canada during the pandemic, and the new movie projects she has in the works. → Read More

Demi Lovato's Stans Should Work for the CIA

Among Lovatics, the devoted fans of pop star Demi Lovato, "Max" and "Ehrich" are two dirty words. The daytime TV actor and wannabe musician, whose celebrity status rose when he became briefly engaged to Lovato last year, deserves his post-break up return to irrelevancy. → Read More

The Best Juergen Teller 'W' Magazine Memes

Juergen Teller's new photos for W magazine's annual Best Performances issue were instant meme fodder. Most people aren't fans of the shoot, which is being criticized as bizarrely disrespectful of its subjects, none of whom look particularly snatched. → Read More

Here's Your First Look at the 'Genera+ion' Cast

This being 2021, Genera+ion focuses on a crew of Gen-Z kids who have evolved far past the jock/nerd dichotomy and are contending with 21st century problems. For added realism, it's even helmed by a bona fide teenager: 19-year-old Yale student Zelda Barnz. → Read More

The Chris Crocker Thing Was Complicated

If Britney Spears could survive 2007, so goes the meme, you can get through [insert minor personal tragedy here.] But Spears only just outran what was presumably the worst year of her life. And if you were consuming any form of media back then, you'll recall that most major outlets were operating under the oddly gleeful assumption that she wasn't going to make it at all. → Read More

Madonna Stans: Do Not Follow Lourdes Leon on Instagram

As of today, Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon has gone public on Instagram, blue check and everything. With a twist: she is not down to mingle with her mom's rabid gay stans in the comments section. Simply isn't having it! No Madge references allowed. → Read More

Bernie Sanders Is the First Inauguration Meme

A perfect Getty image of the beloved Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, whose progressive platform helped shove the Democratic presidential race significantly to the left, shows that he has gone against the grain once more by turning up to Biden's inauguration dressed not in hip indie designer duds but rather... Burlington Coat Factory. → Read More

Woman From a Magazine Chats With HAIM

As the music industry circles in the same holding pattern it's been stuck in since early March, we may as well just keep listening to Haim's perfect third album, "Women in Music Part III." Sisters Danielle, Este and Alana tell us all about lockdown, the new record and working with Paul Thomas Anderson. → Read More

Adore Delano Gives Us a Sneak Peak of Her OnlyFans

Adore Delano announced her move to OnlyFans on October 14 to over two million followers on Instagram with a nearly nude side-profile shot and the caption "Surprise.. LINK IN BIO❣️" I have a lot of questions, so let's do away with all pretense and invite Adore to the chat to spill the details. → Read More
