Penélope Cruz, Bruce Springsteen, Walter Salles and Bowen Yang are 2025 Academy Museum Gala honorees
The 75-year-old rock legend is being honored alongside actors Penélope Cruz and Bowen Yang and filmmaker Walter Salles at the Oct. 18 celebration hosted by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
The high-fashion get-together, now in its fifth year, has been positioned as a West Coast version of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's Met Gala.

Why Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Will Probably Never Make Their Red Carpet Debut
We got a touch pill to swallow, Swifties: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may never make their red carpet debut. We thought they would for numerous red carpet events, the Met Gala, you name it. But after two years together, they missed another opportunity to make their red carpet debut together. This week, the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere was in full swing, but neither Kelce, who acted in it, and Swift arrived. Kelce had to go to training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs instead of the premiere, and without Kelce, Swift didn't go either, per InStyle. More from SheKnows Taylor Swift & Blake Lively's Tension May Be Behind This Party Snub No, here's why we think they'll never make a red carpet debut: Swift has never made a red carpet debut with a boyfriend. She walks solo on the carpet, but still goes to events with boyfriends (like when she and ex Calvin Harris sat together at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards). So, Swifties, we're sorry to say, it seems like Swift and Kelce will be one of the A-list couples that never make a red carpet debut. For those who don't know, Kelce and Swift have been dating since July 2023, but didn't make their romance known until months later, when Swift arrived at one of his games. (Kelce even talked about his crush on her on his podcast with his brother months prior to her going to one of his games.) Back in Jan 2024, Kelce spoke on the Pat McAfee Show via Today about Swift, saying, 'We just have fun with it. We enjoy every single bit of it. I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends. But it's been nothing but just a wonderful year.'Best of SheKnows 16 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened The Best Photos of Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne's Kids Growing Up Over the Years Everything We Know About Carolyn Bessette's Life Before JFK JR Solve the daily Crossword

Kim Kardashian Oozes Supervillain Sex Appeal in a transparent Mugler Corset
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." From Miley Cyrus to Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber—Hollywood's It girls can't get enough of vintage Mugler these days. No surprise then that Kim Kardashian is fully on board. In a new Instagram post, the Skims founder showed off her latest archival find, which was pulled from the Mugler Fall 1998 collection. The ensemble looked like a uniform for a supervillain thanks to its enveloping black material and the spiderweb-like bands of sequins that stretched across it—a high-fashion fit for Venom, perhaps. The set consisted of a transparent bodysuit and matching, attached stockings, which were both decorated with the sequined details. The bodice hugged Kardashian's body like a structured corset. The mother of four certainly looked snug in the ensemble, which featured a high, curving collar that extended up to her jaw, as well as a lace-up a final touch, Kardashian layered on a large fur trench coat in black—one that was originally paired with the outfit when it debuted on the runway. Kardashian captured the vintage look with a mirror selfie, as well as with a series of portraits taken by her go-to photographer, Pierre Snaps. 'Mugler Magic,' she called it in the caption of her post. We last saw the Kardashians star pull from the Mugler archives in October 2024, when she attended the Academy Museum Gala in a bridal-white corset and matching robe that was pulled from the brand's Spring 1998 couture collection. One thing is for certain: Kardashian has always been a student of fashion history.

Michelle Buteau talks saying goodbye to 'Survival of the Thickest' and her 'first true love' stand-up comedy
Buteau celebrates stand-up as a Gala star at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal From her incredible success with the Netflix series Survival of the Thickest and history-making stand-up shows, including being the first woman to film a comedy special at Radio City Music Hall, Michelle Buteau is one of the most beloved talents in entertainment. So the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal is lucky to have her featured as a Gala star. Whether she's acting, doing stand-up comedy, hosting, writing or producing a project, she excels at it all. But no matter how many hats she's worn in her career of more than 20 years, stand-up is her "first true love." "I fell in love with stand-up and everything else is just cherries on the cake," Buteau told Yahoo Canada. "When you get the Gala spot at JFL, it feels like you've won Formula One. ... When you start stand-up, there are a handful of things, especially New York comedians, always talk about getting. An SNL audition, or a Late Night spot, and JFL was right up there. So this is very exciting. I mean, it's been a long time, so very happy to be doing it." As Buteau highlighted, there's nothing like experiencing the thrill of a live stand-up show. But through her comedy specials on streaming sites and leveraging online platforms, Buteau has really been able to make her work available to people around the world. It's that accessibility component that's important for her. "There's a non-binary teenager in Kenya that's reaching out to me, a 62-year-old lesbian in Bulgaria, ... then there's cities in Brazil ... using my catchphrase," Buteau said. "It makes comedians feel like rock stars." Michelle Buteau is 'tired' of people being told their 'not worthy' With the success of Survival of the Thickest, the show has been praised for being particularly sex-positive, as the lead character Mavis (played by Buteau) works to thrive mentally, emotionally and sexually. "When we talk about mental health and making people feel good, it isn't just about how you look. It's about how you feel. And it's about how you feel in all chapters of your life," Buteau said. "So whether it is a piece of clothing, whether it is food, whether it is attention, whether it is sex, all of it is meant to build you up, not tear you down." "[I'm] sick and tired of the conversation, especially in and around the arts, film and TV, of bigger bodies always having to feel very grateful that someone finds them desirable, which is just plain bullshit. ... Since the beginning of time there has been thick people who have been loved on and dicked down. It's just like, excuse me, why is this such a wild concept that somebody would love their body? And honestly, it is what we are going through today and what we've been going through also since the beginning of time. It's control. It is a mental prison. If you tell people they are not worthy ... they're going to believe you, they're not going to feel good about themselves. And I'm so tired of that." Buteau added that what's great about having Survival of the Thickest on Netflix, which is available in 190 countries, is how many people she can reach with the show's core messaging. "I know that I can reach people of all gender expressions, of all sizes and shapes, and say, 'Hey boo, you look f—king good and you're worthy of whatever you want,'" she said. "That's why I made my character a stylist, because I think the platform of fashion can showcase the injustices. ... It's also a good excuse to be like, 'Hey, I need a lot of money for fashion.'" While we already know that Season 3 of Survival of the Thickest will be the show's last, a tough hit for many fans, Buteau is ready to go out with impact. "It feels earned and deserved," Buteau said. "I'm really lucky ... that I found something I love to do, and so I don't take the responsibility lightly. We're going to blow it up ... in the best possible way." "I know people are bummed that it won't be coming back, but it's actually such a gift to know that it is the third and final. I don't think a lot of platforms and networks give you that information all the time."
