Jennifer Lawrence Doubles Down on the Sneakerina Shoe Trend
Stepping out in Midtown in New York City, the Die, My Love actor made her second sartorial attempt at sneakerina styling, with a pair of black and cream-soled Wales Bonner velcro shoes. The Mary Jane style, with its thick embossed strap and Vibram sole, is also a perfect post partum shoe for Lawrence, who recently gave birth to her second child shared with partner Cooke Moroney.

It's a shoe hybrid that's proliferated on the runways and in drops from across the fashion spectrum: Simone Rocha, Cecilie Bahnsen, Louis Vuitton et al. The 'sneakerina'—a portmanteau of 'sneaker' and 'ballerina,' for the uninitiated—as a name, really, can be applied to any of the more feminine-shaped sneakers of late. Beloved by a more subversive and bold fashion set that includes Chloë Sevigny and Amelia Gray, it's a chaotic, polarizing footwear mash-up that Lawrence shows to be more versatile and relaxed than you'd first think.
The rest of the outfit was textbook Jennifer Lawrence for summer. The actor wore an oversized white t-shirt with a Picasso print, a cobalt blue cardi tied around her shoulders (a beloved, transeasonal J.Law color), and loose primary red trousers. As for accessories, she forewent a deep dive into her enviable collection of vintage it-bags in favor of a cream knit tote bag, and added a black bucket hat when she'd usually don a novelty baseball cap. Has Oasis summer and the Britpop revival been an influence, perhaps?
While Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner stick to the heeled sandal hybrid, Selena Gomez styles suits and thongs, and the Olsens outfit everyone in The Row's viral Dune flip-flops, the sneakerina brigade has a newfound member in Jennifer Lawrence. So if you haven't yet, now's your chance to step into the summer shoe trend J.Law seems confident is here to stay.

Marc Maron Reveals the Cost to Use a Taylor Swift Song — and the Mutual Celebrity Friend Who Helped Him Get Access
The comedian and podcaster used Swift's 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' for his soon-to-be-released stand-up special Marc Maron said getting the rights to Taylor Swift's music doesn't come without a hefty price tag. The comedian and podcaster, 61, spent major dollars in order to use a specific song from the pop star's catalog for his upcoming stand-up special, he revealed on the July 25 episode of Vulture's Good One podcast. Licensing Swift's song 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' — a bonus track on the 3am Edition of her 2022 album Midnights — cost about "$50,000," Maron said. He added that he felt he needed the specific track for a pivotal moment in his HBO special, Marc Maron: Panicked, so he reached out to a mutual friend, Jack Antonoff, for help. 'I know Jack Antonoff enough to text him — and he's the co-writer on that song,' Maron explained. 'I said, 'I don't know what's proper or how to do this, but we're running out of money on this thing. It's probably going to come out of my pocket. Is there anything you can do about this song or talk to Taylor?' ' Maron said Antonoff, 41, advised him to go through official music licensing channels, and he was ultimately able to get approval to use the track. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'It was doable,' Maron said, adding, however, that the tens of thousands of dollars only covered the use of one minute of the song. 'I would have gone over the minute, [but] it would have been more money,' he explained. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Maron said he doesn't know if Swift, 35, has heard the specific joke in the special that her team signed off on, but he was 'manifesting' that she would indeed like it if she did — for the sake of his project. 'It had to happen,' Maron said. 'The real fear [was], like, [if] she doesn't let you use it, and then what do you do? You can't do the bit on the special.' While Maron didn't reveal the content of the bit in question, he has spoken about Swift's music — and his journey to becoming a Swiftie — in the past. 'I'm an open-minded guy, and I like music. I [wanted] to try to figure out what it is about Taylor Swift that everyone never shuts up about," he said on a May 2023 episode of his long-running podcast, WTF with Marc Maron. Maron said he ended up listening to Swift's Midnights album on a hike, and he was impressed with what her heard. 'I'm like, 'Alright. I get it.' It's pop music, but it's not dance music [and] it's, sort of, emotional. There's a lot of longing and sadness and isolation and processing these overwhelming feelings of melancholy," he recalled. When previously discussing the new special, the comedian said, per Deadline, that he felt like 'this is the best work' he's ever done, adding, 'Everything came together." Maron's latest creative endeavor comes two years after his last HBO special, the critically acclaimed From Bleak to Dark, which explored grief and the experience of losing his partner, filmmaker Lynn Shelton, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Marc Maron: Panicked premieres on HBO on Friday, Aug. 1, at 8:00 p.m. EST. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max. Read the original article on People

Why Avatar: Seven Havens Is More Than Just A Franchise Spin-Off
Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired on Nickelodeon in 2005. Blending Western animation with influences from Japanese anime, no one could have predicted that a show with a 5:00 pm timeslot on Fridays would enjoy the longevity it has today, nearly 20 years after its original premiere. Now, with the recently announced Avatar: Seven Havens, Nickelodeon and Avatar Studios have teamed up again for a brand-new entry in the franchise. A Franchise's Resurgence During the height of 2020, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the first entry in the Avatar series, was added to Netflix for people around the world to stream. Fans of the show, many of whom hadn't seen it since they were children, sat down to reembark on the journey of Aang, the Avatar, and his friends as they battled to end a war that had devastated their world. In addition to veteran fans of the show, the streaming service introduced the story to an entirely new audience, and the show gained a level of popularity it hadn't experienced in years. Seemingly overnight, a franchise that had been steadily catering to its original fan base following the completion of Avatar's sequel series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, through books focusing on characters that had briefly appeared on the show and comics that continued Aang and his friends' story, became the new obsession of thousands of new fans. Unsurprisingly, Avatar rose to No.1 on Netflix. Due to the growing popularity and increasing demand for more stories set in the Avatar universe, Nickelodeon launched Avatar Studios in 2021, led by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators of the series. Through strategy, Nickelodeon was able to capitalize on both nostalgia and the brand's resurgence in the cultural zeitgeist. In addition to the graphic novels and books that were steadily being published before the studio's inception, a new film and now a new series were announced to keep fans captivated, allowing Paramount to continue to expand the IP across multiple platforms. Each iteration of the Avatar series features, you guessed it, the Avatar, who varies in each installment because the main character reincarnates into the individual whose journey we follow during that story. Seven Havens, which centers on the new Avatar, a young girl named Pavi, is the first series in the Avatar franchise to be created by Avatar Studios. Even though there are two other series supporting it, with The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, Seven Havens will serve as a test to see if the franchise can sustain its momentum. Building with Intent While fans were divided over the sequel series to The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, part of that division came from the franchise's original momentum slowing down because some fans couldn't connect with the new cast of characters, the mix of old and new audiences, and the constantly changing schedule for episode airings in the final season. Additionally, The Legend of Korra gained renewed attention when it was added to Netflix shortly after its parent series experienced increased success during the streaming era. With that in mind, Nickelodeon has the opportunity to reinforce Paramount+ as the only place to stream the episodes of Seven Havens once they air, since the Avatar series tends to have the most success when fans can watch the episodes in order and not at random like other episodes of non-storied serialized cartoon shows on Nickelodeon, such as SpongeBob SquarePants. What makes the Avatar series stand out from other franchises that have suffered from endless sequels and reboots, which tire out viewers, is that the Avatar franchise has a built-in system in its story that allows fans to expect more without it feeling like "too much.' Since each series is meant to introduce entirely new characters and expand the existing story and lore, fans don't need to watch characters and settings go through endless cycles. The series is designed to encourage viewers to return and see what happens next after the adventures of the previous cast, seen through the eyes of a new character. Not many franchises can do this without upsetting a significant part of their fan base, and that's part of what makes the Avatar franchise so unique. You go into each series expecting the cast you've grown familiar with to be in the background or absent from the story entirely. Avatar: Seven Havens, while a new chapter in the series, symbolizes new beginnings and an opportunity for Avatar Studios, Nickelodeon, and Paramount to show that the streaming success the franchise achieved in 2020 was more than just a milestone. It's a chance to prove to critics and fans alike that the same magic and storytelling they loved are proof that creators can produce content everyone can enjoy and connect with, if they are given the space to breathe and, who would've guessed it, create.
