Exclusive: Behind-the-Scenes of Party Girl Rose Gray's Pop-Up Show in NYC

Cosmopolitan3 days ago
It's a beautiful thing when party people come together. At least, that's what rising pop supernova Rose Gray proved during her impromptu show at NYC hotspot Jean's on July 23. Her breakout debut album, Louder, Please, boasts electrifying, hypnotic anthems with nods to 2000s club culture that are keeping that very energy alive two decades later.
Upon the first note of any of her songs, you'll easily catch on to the fact that Rose is an it-girl in every sense. The British artist is making waves across the pond as she joins her party girl predecessor, Kesha, as a supporting act on the Tits Out Tour this summer. She's also brushed shoulders with some of Hollywood's elite off-stage, from Gracie Abrams to her longtime love and fellow up-and-comer, Harris Dickinson. If that wasn't enough proof that Rose effortlessly oozes star power, then her long line of fans awaiting her arrival might do the trick.
'I had a 5 p.m. soundcheck at Jean's, and as I left to get ready at the hotel, I saw a queue of fans wearing my merch, holding roses, and holding my CDs. Honestly, I wasn't even sure anyone was going to show up. But the night was wild,' Rose exclusively tells Cosmopolitan of her pop-up show. 'I played new remixes, jumped on the decks. The energy was unreal. Jean's was so chic. I loved it, and I can't wait to be back mid-August to play Night Club 101.'
Luckily for us, Rose brought us along for her slinky, sublime, and sweat-filled pop-up show at Jean's through her POV. So, come for her chic looks and signature wine-red hair flips, and stay for her iconic party girl photo captions, shared exclusively with Cosmo.

Foo Fighters have announced that Ilan Rubin will be joining them as their new drummer, while Josh Freese will return to Nine Inch Nails.

Paul Mario Day, original Iron Maiden singer, dies at 69. It was announced that the vocalist for the British heavy metal band passed away yesterday. While an official cause of death has not been revealed, Day had reportedly been battling cancer in recent years. Day was with Iron Maiden from December 1975 to October 1976 and sang at their first concert in May of the same year. After his departure, he went on to front several other bands, including More, Wildfire, and a reformed version of Sweet.

Reports indicate that Madison and White are his top choices for the lead roles, though no formal offers have been made yet as the film is still in development. The follow-up film will not be a direct sequel, but rather a new chapter focusing on the more recent (and negative) impact of the social media platform, drawing inspiration from The Wall Street Journal's investigative series, The Facebook Files .

'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday': Mariah Carey, Jeff Goldblum and more stars jump on trend

A new song of the summer has hit the charts – and no, it's not a Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter tune. Instead, it's a breezy, British anthem that insists your summer fling should be with, of all things, a Jet2Holiday. The discount airfare line has recently found itself the subject of virality, as users post their vacation and life mishaps online to the soundtrack of a 2024 ad promoting the company's discounted flights. "Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday," the ad promises as British singer Jess Glynne's 2015 song "Hold My Hand" blasts in the background. Even celebrities have been eager to hop on the trend, with stars like Mariah Carey and Jeff Goldblum parodying the ad. Social media users are proving why nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. What's that? Goldblum, known for his own TV ad campaigns, joined in the fun, posting a TikTok with a remixed voice-over, swapping "Jet2" for "Jeff2." Fans were delighted, with one commenting: "If Jeff Goldblum isn't greeting me at the gate in sunglasses and a silk shirt, is it even a Jeff2 holiday?" Nothing beats a Jeff2 holiday #jeffirmations #holdmyhand Carey, on the other hand, used the trend to announce her performance at Brighton Pride in the United Kingdom, posting a TikTok of her boarding a plane to the viral sound accompanied by the caption "Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride!!" Jet2, no doubt happily basking in the unexpected free press, commented below Carey's post: "We belong together." Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈💋 That the "Obsessed" singer was boarding a private jet in her video butts up against the ethos of the trend, which has connected social media users worldwide about everything from budget airfare to hilarious travel plans gone wrong. The ad's song has even been remixed by some on the internet, with a soca version dominating recent videos and a New Orleans bounce remix as the background to multiple dance videos. Singer slams Trump administration for using her song to promote deportations Glynn also spoke out earlier this week about another group clearly not in on the joke: the Trump administration. When the White House's official Instagram shared a post on July 30 celebrating the Trump admin's mass deportation efforts to the tune of "Hold My Hand," Glynn was quick to shoot them down. The video, which showed people being escorted out of a van and marched onto a plane with their hands and ankles handcuffed, was accompanied by the caption: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. ✈️🎶 Nothing beats it!" Though federal agents' faces are blurred, the detainees' faces are not. In response, Glynn wrote in an Instagram story: "This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate."

Netflix just made a key new hire as it doubles down on its global ad ambitions

Netflix wants to mature its ad business from infancy to " Adolescence," and the company just made a key international hire to help boost sales. The streamer recently hired Ed Couchman to lead its UK advertising sales team, Netflix confirmed to Business Insider. Couchman is set to join Netflix later this year from Spotify, where he had been head of advertising sales for the UK and Northern Europe since 2023. He is a familiar face on the UK advertising scene, with experience in both traditional and digital media. Before joining Spotify in 2023, Couchman previously held senior UK-based ad sales roles at Snap, Meta, and the British broadcaster Channel 4. Spotify declined to comment. Couchman will report to Damien Bernet, Netflix's VP of EMEA advertising, and will replace Warren Dias, whose exit from Netflix was announced in May. Dias had been in the role for two years. Netflix said during its second-quarter earnings this month that it was on track to "roughly double" its ad revenue in 2025, having also doubled its annual ad revenue last year. Execs on the earnings call said they were encouraged by the rollout of its in-house adtech stack in all the markets in which it sells ads, and by advertiser interest in live events. Those include comedy specials, wrestling, and boxing events. Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said on the call that interactive ad formats and generative AI would also help open up new areas of ad growth. Netflix doesn't break out its advertising revenue in its financials. The ads plan initially launched in several markets worldwide, including the UK, in November 2022. The streamer said in June its ad-supported tier had reached 94 million monthly active users. Netflix has already made some headway in the UK ad market. June data from Barb, which measures TV ratings, found Netflix had the biggest share of 16- to 34-year-old viewers — a key demographic for advertisers — among all the commercial video-on-demand services in the country. Separate data from the UK communications regulator Ofcom found that Netflix was the most popular video-on-demand service in the UK in 2024, with viewers watching for an average of 22 minutes per day. Spotify's advertising unit is undergoing challenges aside from Couchman's departure. The music streaming service recently parted ways with its ad sales chief, Lee Brown, who is joining DoorDash as its chief revenue officer. Spotify said this week that its ad business hadn't met the company's growth expectations and that it was the right time for a leadership change.
