Chappell Roan refuses to listen to her own music: 'I don't wanna hear it...'
The 27-year-old singer has enjoyed massive success in the industry since the release of her album 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' in late 2023 but "doesn't want to hear" her own work once she has released it.
She told W! Magazine: "I think it was in an Uber when I was on tour . I heard 'Good Luck, Babe' [on the radio]. I grabbed my friend's hand and I was like, 'Oh my f******.…' But I didn't scream. I don't sing along with myself. I never listen to my own music. If it's out, I don't want to hear it. I've heard it hundreds and hundreds of times."
The Grammy Award-winning star was then asked about the first song she remembers performing and revealed it was the Britney Spears classic 'Oops! I Did It Again' but recalled that her mother had to take her out of the gymnastics class she attended because she would try to imitate the official choreography rather than focus on the lesson.
She said: "'Oops!…I Did It Again,' by Britney Spears. My mother took me out of gymnastics because I did the Britney dances instead of listening to the gymnastics teacher. I also sang, 'Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.'
Meanwhile, the 'Pink Pony Club' hitmaker decided to explore the country genre with her latest single 'The Giver' and listed off a number of music icons that she took inspiration from as she switched things up from her usual pop style.
She said: "I love country music. I listened to a lot of George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, and Dolly Parton. And I love Shania Twain so much. I just love campy country songs. I heard them on the bus every morning or at football games: It was country being played over the big speakers. I think country is the campiest music! And so is metal. Country music taught me how to write narratively."

'Too tired to help me': Aussie model Imogen Anthony shares disturbing Uber experience after drunk man enters her car in Sydney
Sydney model Imogen Anthony has shocked her followers after sharing footage of a frightening Uber experience involving a drunk man who climbed into her ride and refused to get out. The 34-year-old, who had previously been in a relationship with radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands, took to Instagram Stories on Monday night to document the ordeal as it unfolded. "I jumped out to grab ciggies on the way home as well, and a random jumped into my Uber," she captioned the video, which shows an apparently intoxicated man sitting beside her in the back seat. In the clip, Anthony tells the man, who is not clearly visible, that he has the wrong vehicle. "No no no, wrong car," she says. "Out you get. You've got the wrong car. Out you get. This is not your car." The man, appearing dazed and unresponsive, slurs back: "Yeah, so?" Despite repeated attempts to get him to leave, Anthony said the Uber driver failed to assist. In a follow-up clip, she questioned the driver about why he allowed the man into the vehicle. "He just opened the door and you let him in?" she asked. "Yeah," the driver replies. "Very strange. Did you ask him for his name?" After a pause, Anthony adds, "Obviously not." Overlaying the clip, Anthony wrote: "Honestly, Sydney is turning into a joke." After arriving home safely, she shared a series of messages venting her frustration. She said she was "beyond the f***wittery of Sydney" and disturbed by the "disrespect between people". "And this driver knew that this guy wasn't a part of my car," she said. "He had already picked me up, I'd stopped off somewhere else to get cigarettes, and in that time, this guy has jumped into the back of the car. "The driver has not asked the guy for the name of the booking, he's just let him sit in the back with all of my personal effects, and then still really wouldn't help me get him out of the car." Anthony said she had to ask the man "multiple times" to leave. "He was wasted? Yeah whatever," she said. "The Uber driver should have picked up on that, and the fact that I still had to be the one to make this guy exit for the driver just to tell me afterwards that he was sorry, he was 'too tired' to help me… I was like, 'Mate, that's not good enough, for real'." She ended by saying: "You are so lucky that I was in a good headspace last night." has reached out to both Imogen Anthony and Uber for comment.

Charlize Theron admits that she has 'real struggles' with raising her daughters
Charlize Theron sometimes has "real struggles" with raising her daughters. The 49-year-old actress is the adoptive mother of Jackson, 12, and nine-year-old August and joked that while she is "getting her a** handed to" her as they grow up, she knows that she is not the "only one" that has to deal with the trials and tribulations of bringing up children. Asked how her parenting style has evolved over the years, she told PEOPLE: "I'm getting my a** handed to me. "And by the way, that's teenagers. I know I'm not the only one. "It's a house full of women. And we have great moments, and we also have real struggles." The Academy Award-winning star was speaking at the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project 2025 Block Party and insisted that she wants her kids to have an "awareness of the world" around them and insisted that they have an "affinity" for her home country. She said: "Of course I want my kids to have an awareness of the world outside their bubble, and they do,. "I've got two, I have to say, incredibly empathetic kids. And they see the issues that we face here in L.A. "They hear me talk about the issues facing South Africa. "They do have an affinity for South Africa, because I'm from there. But I do think that they're good people. "I think we were kind of working in the world of HIV. It's where we started — HIV and AIDS prevention. And it's evolved over the years. "But when the pandemic happened, we really had to pivot. And we didn't know if we were going to be able to do that." "And I think it was a great moment for us as an organization. Because we realized that we can. "And that's what we're doing right now. Just given the environment, climate... we have to pivot, and we have to do it seriously."

Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson breaks silence on divorce as she addresses 'major change' in life
Quinta Brunson has insisted that she "didn't announce" her divorce. The 35-year-old actress married Kevin Jay Anik in 2022, and it emerged via public records earlier this year that she had filed for divorce but she has insisted that no one famous actually wants others to know when something happens in their personal life. She told Bustle: 'I remember seeing people be like, 'She announced her divorce.' "I didn't announce anything. I think people have this idea that people in the public eye want the public to know their every move. None of us do. I promise you. No one wants [everyone] to know when you buy a house, when you move, when a major change happens in your personal life. It's just that that's public record information.' The Abbott Elementary star initially felt the need to present herself in a "certain way" once she found success with her Emmy Award-winning TV series and felt pressure to avoid doing things like changing her appearance, but then found it "very liberating" to stop thinking like that. She said: "When Abbott started, it felt like, 'OK, I'm quite public now, and I'm responsible for so many people. I need to be consistent. I need to show up a certain way. I need to be reliable. "I got it in my head that that's a bad sign "You can't cut your hair, you can't pierce your nose, you can't get a tattoo. It's going to give, 'You don't know who you are.' "Those are invisible voices that aren't in your home with you, that aren't in your personal life, that aren't your friends. 'I love my fans, I love the people who watch Abbott. So you want to hear them, and you want to listen to them, but when it comes to matters of your personal life and decisions you make, you do have to tune it out. "When I finally cut it off, there was something very liberating about it. "You can still change and evolve and start over. Cutting my hair helped remind me that I am an artist first. I want to feel things. I want to do things. I want to make choices. I want to be a person, and not just stuck in having to be a certain way for business."
