Talk about animal magnetism.

Kate Winslet and her husband of one year, Ned Rocknroll, have named their newborn son Bear Winslet, a spokesperson for Winslet confirms to PEOPLE.

The Oscar winner welcomed her third child on Dec. 7 at a National Health Service hospital near the West Sussex home she shares with her husband and children, Mia, 13 and Joe, 10.

In the weeks leading up to baby Bear’s arrival, Winslet, 38, had been seen relaxing, dining out and taking in a London theater show with friends.

Rocknroll, 35, who works on his uncle Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic project, was previously called Abel Smith before officially changing his name.

Other famous Bears, aside from Paddington and Smokey, include the British adventurer Bear Grylls and Alicia Silverstone‘s son, Bear Blu.

At least it's not Bear Rocknroll

Doctor Who was named Best Drama of the year by Digital Spy readers in our 2013 end of year survey.

The 50th anniversary of the show, capped by a special episode featuring David Tennant, Tom Baker and Peter Capaldi, was also named the Entertainment Moment of The Year in our end of year survey, which saw over 22,600 people casting a vote.

The Doctor Who connection continued throughout our TV categories. One-time Doctor and 50th guest star David Tennant was named Best Actor for his role in Broadchurch, with current Doctor Matt Smith in second place.

Tennant's Broadchurch co-star Olivia Colman, who has also appeared in Doctor Who, was named Best Actress on 25.0%, with Downton Abbey's Maggie Smith in second place and current companion Jenna Coleman in third.

The Best Comedy of the year was judged by you to be The Big Bang Theory, which won a comprehensive 28.0% of the vote, while I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! was named Best Reality TV Show.

BBC One was named the Best Channel of the year, knocking its major rival ITV into second place and - perhaps surprisingly - spinoff channel E4 pipped its big brother Channel 4 to third place.

Spears prefers not to care about what people think anymore. It appears age has helped Spears see things a lot more clearly. "When I first started out, I didn't care what anybody thought of me. I was happy to be there. I was like, 'This is great!' But then 10 years later, I realize there's a lot of mean things on the Internet," she said. "But before the naivete in the whole thing was just brilliant because it was like you can't really control what they think so you can't really worry about what they think. That attitude is the one to have."

Spears felt "alienated from the public." Though she didn't pinpoint an exact time period, one could probably guess what she was referring to. In the doc, Spears said she felt "alienated from the public" when she couldn't go out without having 20 paparazzi following her. "But as time passed, they lightened up and they went away, after I wouldn't come out of the house for two years," Spears said. "It was a trying time. It was kind of confusing for me. Personally, I'm a shy person and I'm particularly not really made for this industry because I am so shy. It's not something I deal with so well."

Spears still struggles with speaking her mind."I'm not saying it's good to be a bitch, but a lot of times in this industry it's better to speak up and say what's on your mind, which I have a problem with," she said.

Spears on dealing with pressure. "Pressure is a funny thing. Sometimes I tend to go inward when I'm under pressure," she said. "I tend to keep it all in. I don't express myself too much. If I'm really nervous, I'm really quiet. But I think I thrive under pressure."

Spears shares her motto on love."Love is just an unexplainable thing and there's a saying that I have in my bathroom in Louisiana. It says 'Go beyond reason to love, for it's the only safety there is.' And it's true you should always go beyond reason to love and to be with the person you want to be with and to be cherished and to be treasured. I think it's why we're here as people," she said.

Spears calls "Piece of Me" her biography. The way she told it, the song off the 2007 album Blackout is popular because it detailed her journey in the music business and the often grueling life in front of and behind the cameras. "I'm relating to it with how I started at 17 years old and how the paparazzi is with me and what I go through when I go out sometimes and me being a mother," she said. But for Spears, her perspective on the song has changed as the years passed. "Now I look at it more like a superstar, like super-confident 'You want a piece of me?' "

Rich Juz Spots That E! Digitally Elongated Britney Spears in Her Doc

0
0
Last night, E! ran a two-hour documentary detailing the preparation for Britney Spears' upcoming Las Vegas residency and Britney Jean album. The entirety of I Am Britney Jean ran with its picture slightly elongated, which is weird (Britney's not even going through an overweight period) and at odds with the entire concept of documentary filmmaking. But whatever, I guess. This is E!, a place where the hardest news you're going to get is delivered by Giuliana Rancic. We cannot expect much of anything.See above [click to visit source] for a scene in which the stretching is particularly noticeable, and also check out this comparison between stills from the movie that aired and the promo that ran in the days before it:



(Note though that the promo's aspect ratio seems like it could be off too, and in the opposite, widened way. So that's really fucking confusing.)

As far as the content goes, I Am Britney Jean was not particularly raw and candid, but it was well made since it was a World of Wonder (RuPaul's Drag Race, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Dark Roots: The Unauthorized Anna Nicole) production. The weirdest thing that Britney said was that her onstage persona/alter ego is a different person and that it's "seriously bipolar disorder." (Ever since her 2008 meltdown, it's been widely speculated that Britney is bipolar, and here she is kind of joking about it.)


It was refreshingly honest of Brit to admit, "Personally, I'm really a shy person and I'm particularly not really made for this industry because I am so shy." But at the same time it's like, why are you still doing this then? It would be one thing if she were a singer's singer or a dancer's dancer or if there were some virtuosic, honed craft that her inner artistry compelled her to express despite the unfortunate byproduct of fame. But no, her craft is being an all-around entertainer, a star, and that's how her career was engineered. It's how her life was engineered, and from a very young age, at that. If she is "not really made for this industry," is it any wonder that she freaked out five years ago and hit an SUV with an umbrella, or that she routinely shows up in public and music videos with dead eyes, looking like she wants to crawl out of her skin? Was happiness ever a possibility for Britney Spears? Did anyone ever actually think about that?


She at least seemed more alive and spirited in I Am Britney Jean than she has in years. She was often endearingly goofy. She used big-ish words like "intangibles" and "naiveté," and she also used "fart" as an expletive. She lamented, "Being a perfectionist sucks," and discussed her love of watermelon bubblegum and sex. She seemed kind to her employees and she seems to work very hard to keep the industry that has been organized around her propped up. The artist was present on I Am Britney Jean, but given her comments, you can't help but wonder if she really wanted to be.

Paris Hilton Speaks on Duck Dynasty

Also of note, the “Stars Are Blind” singer — who was involved in her own anti-gay scandal last year, after recordings surfaced of her claiming users of an app designed for gay men “probably have AIDS” — spoke disparagingly of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson following the reality star’s inflammatory comments about gay people to GQ last week.

Hilton — who “never even heard of the show before” — said Robertson “shouldn’t be talking like that.”

“I just think that people should be sensitive to others — it’s not nice.”

Japan's Olympic figure skating team announced

0
0


Daisuke Takahashi was named to Japan’s three-man Olympic figure skating team Monday, one day after a fifth-place finish at the National Championships left him with a bloody hand, in tears and in doubt of going to Sochi.

Also Monday, Mao Asada was third at Japan’s National Championships, though she still safely made her second Olympic team.

Takahashi, the 2010 Olympic bronze medalist and world champion, was selected over the third- and fourth-place finishers at Japan’s National Championships, Takahiko Kozuka and Nobunari Oda.

Here’s video of the team announcement, with Takahashi’s name being read at the three-minute mark and a full crowd going wild.

Both Kozuka and Oda are veterans with Olympic and World Championships experience. But neither has excelled on the major international stage like Takahashi.

Grand Prix Final champion Yuzuru Hanyu locked up the first of three spots by winning the National Championships. Hanyu is seen as, at least, a co-favorite for Sochi gold with Canada’s Patrick Chan.

The second and third berths would go to skaters based not only their finishes at nationals, but also on how they’ve performed at international events. One berth went to Tatsuki Machida, the Skate America champion who took second to Hanyu on Sunday.

The other went to Takahashi, who was better than Kozuka and Oda during the Grand Prix season in the fall.
Takahashi, the 2012-13 Grand Prix Final champion, pulled out of this year’s Grand Prix Final with a leg injury.

He said Saturday that the injury no longer caused him pain, but it did affect his confidence in the short program.

Takahashi fell on his opening jump in his free skate Sunday, badly two-footed another jump and put his hand down on another (video here). He appeared to skate most of his program with a bloody hand, perhaps from the opening fall. He briefly walked out of a post-skate interview in tears (video here).

2010 Olympic silver medalist Mao Asada leads Japan’s three-woman team to Sochi. Though Asada shockingly finished third at the National Championships, behind her Sochi Olympic teammates Akiko Suzuki and Kanako Murakami.

Here’s video of Asada’s free skate Monday. Asada has won six of the last eight Japanese National Championships. It was her lowest finish at nationals in 10 years.

Miki Ando, a two-time world champion, finished seventh at nationals and did not make the team. She gave birth to a girl in April.

---------------------

I actually don't hate Patrick Chan, but I am also a true ONTDer (i.e. shallow as fuck) and Patrick Chan's face creeps me out, so...go, Yuzuru!

Also, Akiko Suzuki is 28 YEARS OLD. Damn.

‘Shame on You!’ Says Academy Member to Martin Scorsese at ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Screening

0

Martin Scorsese knows that “The Wolf of Wall Street” is not for everyone, but he probably didn’t expect to be lambasted by an Academy member when he arrived for the official AMPAS members screening of his film on Saturday night.

But according to a Facebook post from actress Hope Holiday, that’s what happened. Referring to the graphic three-hour film about the sex-and-drug-filled lifestyle of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, and then to the arrival of Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater, she wrote:

“[L]ast night was torture at the Academy — ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ – three hours of torture – same disgusting crap over and over again – after the film they had a discussion which a lot of us did not stay for – the elevator doors opened and Leonardo D. Martin S. and a few others got out then a screen writer ran over to them and started screaming – shame on you – disgusting –

”

A Paramount rep who was with Scorsese said that no one screamed at the director, but admitted that one person offered “a negative comment.” The film’s talent didn’t stop to respond, because they were hurrying into the theater for a post-screening Q&A with Scorsese, DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and writer Terrence Winter.

When asked for additional details by TheWrap, Hope Holiday declined to identify the screenwriter who confronted Scorsese as he exited the elevator on the second floor. But she said that the screenwriter’s criticism of Scorsese was “a shocker,” and “very awkward and embarrassing” for others waiting for the elevator.

Some people at the screening, she added, did applaud the film, while others (“including myself”) hated it.

Others report healthy applause for the film, and for the panelists at the Q&A. The screening was reportedly very well attended, despite it being a three-hour film screening on the Saturday night before Christmas.

“It’s brutal,” admitted Scorsese in a conversation with TheWrap on Friday.
 “I’ve seen it with audiences, and I think it plays. I don’t know if it will be to everyone’s taste – I don’t think it will. It’s not made for 14 year olds.”

To be fair, the Facebook post and its subsequent comments showed that Holiday and her friends clearly aren’t the target audience for Scorsese’s film, either.

The 75-year-old actress, who appeared in “The Apartment” and “Irma la Douce,” among others, and her friends bashed current films, including “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and praised “White Christmas,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “As Good As it Gets” and “The Wizard of Oz.”

Holiday did say that she “liked” David O. Russell’s “American Hustle,” but found it “confusing.”

Saturday’s incident was not the first time that a Scorsese film has been rudely greeted by someone in an AMPAS audience. One longtime Academy member told TheWrap that at the members’ screening of Scorsese’s “Casino” in 1995, one man stood up in the middle of the film and screamed, “Disgusting! Pornography! Crap!” at the screen.

That film received one Oscar nomination for Sharon Stone’s lead performance.

QUEEN BEY REIGNS ON: Physical sales on Beyoncé's year-end blockbuster are now projected at over 100k, thus raising the overall projection to 375k+ for the chart week ending today; it's likely that the album will reach the 1 million mark imminently, if it hasn't already. Retailers who have chosen not to carry the Columbia megadiva's album (due to the first-week iTunes exclusive) appear to have hurt only themselves. (12/23a)

HBO's "GIRLS" post: new trailers, some spoilers + stills

0
0



Our Sundays will be all-too quiet for the next few weeks thanks to our precious holidays, but the ‘Girls‘ season 3 premiere on January 12 gets closer and closer. The first photos of the new season have emerged to complement the most recent trailer, and there’s at least one return we hadn’t yet expected!

While Jessa (Jemima Kirke)’s return was a given, particularly in either of the most recent trailers, also present among the photos is Rita Wilson as Marnie (Allison WIlliams)’ mother, who previously appeared in a solitary season 2 episode. This time around, the new season will open with Marnie living at her parents house, following the offscreen breakup with Charlie (Christopher Abbott).

Here’s what HBO has to say of the first two season 3 episodes premiering on January 12:

Episode 3.01 – Females Only
Hannah and Adam host a dinner at their apartment; Marnie is still upset about her breakup with Charlie; Shoshanna alternates between nights of sexual freedom and academia.

Episode 3.02 – Truth or Dare
Hannah, Shoshanna and Adam take a road trip; Marnie moves into her own place; Hannah seeks inspiration to meet her editor’s deadline.

So far, we know of ‘Girls’ season 3 that the expanded run of 12 episodes will likely see at least one of the characters entering rehab, while Andrew Rannells’ Elijah will return as a regular in season 4. Jon Hamm‘s wife Jennifer Westfeldt has been observed filming on the set, while Michael Zegen (‘Boardwalk Empire‘) has been announced in an unknown role, along with ‘Orange Is the New Black‘ star Danielle Brooks. Other guest stars include ‘Doctor Who‘ star Richard E. Grant, ‘Crystal Fairy’ star Gabby Hoffmann, ‘The To Do List‘ star Sarah Steele and ‘Zero Hour‘ star Amir Arison.

Take a look at the full set of photos from the premiere below, and stay tuned for more of ‘Girls’ season 3 to come! Will you tune in for the January 12 premiere?

Watching My Ex Get Famous....

elle-watching-my-ex-get-famous-pitch-perfect-h-lgn


You know Skylar Astin? Of Glee and Pitch Perfect and Spring Awakening, etc., etc., fame? Me too. Only I knew him as Skylar Lipstein and he finger-banged me on my extra-long, twin-size bed while watching Say Anything... in my freshman year dorm room at NYU. I’m 80% sure I was wearing Hard Tail leggings.

The first night we made out, I knew we were going to date. He's Jewish and sort of dorky. I'm Jewish and sort of dorky. We didn’t go out to dinner. He didn't take me to red carpet events. This was before good ‘ol Lipstein traded in for Astin, and I think the most expensive meal we had was at Chick-fil-A at a neighboring dorm.


He was an exceptional kisser. The kind of kisser that makes you question how good of a kisser you are. The kind that makes you think, “Did I really say GUY X was the best kiss I’ve ever had?”

I knew Skylar was at Tisch and I consciously tried to avoid learning much more about what he was doing there. “Male actor” didn’t scream sexy to me. Until it did. And when it did, it really, really did. Yes, he sang to me sometimes, and yes, I liked it despite my best efforts not to. I mean, dude can sing.

Our love affair was fast and furious, but we remained close friends, and when he started talking about some little show called Spring Awakening, I knew that fame was going to happen for him pretty quickly.

I’d meet him between Broadway rehearsals and ask him if he realized what was happening. He’d laugh, but I knew he knew.

I’d meet him outside the stage door and see teenage girls screaming for him—MY Skylar—asking for his autograph. He’d pull me into pictures sometimes and I’d pretend to think it was totally lame.

The last year of Spring Awakening, I went to his birthday and sat next to his mother. “Can you believe all this?” I asked her. She looked at me and said,“Absolutely.” I could, too.

Skylar called me one night to tell me he was moving to L.A. I didn’t tell him at the time, but I thought it was a huge mistake. He was a singer. He needed to be in New York. What was Hollywood going to do with a musical theater dork? He’s Sondheim, not Spielberg.

Then came Hamlet 2, and then came Pitch Perfect, and then I knew it was a done deal.

When Pitch Perfect came out, I felt like I watched my entire freshman year play out on the silver screen. Okay, I wasn’t in an a cappella group and we didn’t have a riff-off (although I would have been down for that), but he does chase a girl during her freshman year of college. They do have a fast and furious affair. And I had to watch him kiss someone in (I swear) the same way he kissed me.

I texted him as the credits ran to tell him how proud I was. I also told him how weird it was to watch him make out with Anna Kendrick in a freshman dorm room that looked shockingly similar to mine. We talked for a little after that. And then we emailed a few times. And then he started dating a beautiful (famous) woman and I never heard from him again.

Last night, I flipped to Conan and there he was. I wondered whether a stylist had dressed him. I remembered that he used to always complain about being hot, and I thought he must be sweating so badly under all those layers and under all those lights. I barely heard anything he said because all I could think about was how insane it was that I was watching someone I slept with on Conan fucking O’Brien.

At work today, I glanced over a coworker perusing a gossip site that had pictures of Skylar in Cavemen. My stomach curled a little. It curled in the same way your stomach curls when you see your ex across the street with another girl, but he doesn’t see you. Only, with five million hits to his name on Google, I get that feeling all the time.

So ONTD, How would you feel if your ex got famous?

Orlando Gives Flynn An Aww-dorable Piggyback Ride ...

Orlando Bloom showed his son, Flynn, how life looks from the top on Sunday! The actor gave his little man a piggyback ride during a walk in NYC, making Orlando's face light up with a big smile. The thoughtful dad kept his son secure by locking his legs with his hands. After taking in the fresh Winter air, Orlando decided to take a less taxing form of transportation — the actor hailed a cab even as Flynn sat on his shoulders!

The father-son stroll is one of many adorable moments Flynn has enjoyed with his parents in 2013. Just last week, Flynn made us melt when he tried to eat snowflakes during a walk with his mom, Miranda Kerr. When Orlando isn't bonding with Flynn, the actor is busy performing in Romeo and Juliet on Broadway, which was in production as Orlando was promoting his latest movie, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

TDE's CEO and President Respond to Drake's Alleged Diss Toward Kendrick Lamar on "Sh!t" Remix

0

ken

Earlier today Future's tour DJ, Esco, dropped the remix to "Shit" featuring Drake and Juicy J. While Drake doesn't address Kendrick Lamar directly, Internet consensus is that the Toronto rapper takes aim at Compton's finest in his opening verse:

"And if a nigga say my name, he the hot shit
But if I say that nigga name he still the hot shit
Fucked up, lucky I don’t feed into the gossip
Niggas act like they don’t know but they should know
Yeah, I just think it’s funny how they danglin’ the bait
But I’m the one whose killin’ niggas on the hooks though"

This merry-go-round of words between the two stems from Kendrick Lamar's verse on "Control," where he named a number of his rap peers, including Drake, before spitting, "I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas/Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas." Drake would address Lamar's verse on "The Language," from his latest album Nothing Was The Same, as well as during his interview with Elliott Wilson for CRWN. “[Kendrick] is giving people moments but are you listening to it now, at this point in time?" he asked. "It was real cool for a couple weeks."

And here we are today, with Drake allegedly throwing shade his way once again. The verse was evidently enough to provoke a response from Kendrick Lamar's camp on Twitter. TDE's CEO Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith gave his opinion regarding the situation while the company's President Terrence "Punch" Henderson laughed off Drake's verse.

Talent Trumps Twerking: Jennifer Lawrence Wins AP's "Entertainer of the Year" Over Miley Cyrus

0

0
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The battle for AP entertainer of the year came down to the Girl on Fire and the Queen of Twerk.

Jennifer Lawrence edged out Miley Cyrus by one vote in The Associated Press' annual survey of its newspaper and broadcast members and subscribers for Entertainer of the Year.

There were 70 ballots submitted by U.S. editors and news directors. Voters were asked to consider who had the most influence on entertainment and culture in 2013.

Lawrence won 15 votes. Cyrus had 14. Netflix was a close third, earning 13 votes for altering the TV landscape with its on-demand format and hit original series.


But Lawrence — who started the year with an Academy Award for best actress, fueled a box-office franchise as "The Hunger Games" heroine Katniss Everdeen, and wrapped 2013 with a critically acclaimed performance in "American Hustle" that just earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations — charmed fans everywhere with her candid sincerity.

She was also a fashion darling — a muse for Dior — who made headlines with her pixie haircut. ("That was the weirdest thing that ever happened to me," she recently told Jon Stewart.)

Lawrence declined comment for this story.

The 23-year-old actress "is not only talented and beautiful, but comes off as incredibly intelligent, genuine, funny and well-spoken in her public appearances and interviews," writes Kristi Runyan of The Derrick and The News-Herald Newspapers in Oil City, Pa. "It's refreshing to see a young woman not squandering her talent and success by succumbing to the temptations many do in Hollywood and who actively speaks about the ridiculous behavior of some of her peers."

Speaking of ridiculous behavior, Cyrus raised eyebrows throughout 2013 with her embrace of twerking, nudity and public pot smoking. The 21-year-old "Wrecking Ball" singer also made news with her pixie chop, but her breakup with fiance Liam Hemsworth and highly sexualized (and scrutinized) performances made her water-cooler chatter all year.

"She made the biggest splash, without comment on whether I thought it was a good thing," said Jim Turpin of KMPH-TV in Fresno, Calif.

Women have dominated the Entertainer of the Year contest. Past titleholders include Adele, Lady Gaga, Tina Fey, Betty White and Taylor Swift. Stephen Colbert is the lone male winner in seven years of voting.

Netflix commanded votes for changing viewing habits (binge-watch "Breaking Bad," anyone?) and challenging the traditional TV-release concept with its original series. The outlet eschewed typical TV pilots and released a season's worth of episodes at once of its acclaimed series "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black."

"In a divided entertainment landscape that includes the fans of pop princesses like Miley as well as high-minded devotees of cutting-edge filmmaking, Netflix is the one common denominator," said Sean Stangland of Paddock Publications in suburban Chicago.

The beloved, Emmy-winning series "Breaking Bad" was in fourth place with 10 votes. Justin Timberlake, whose year included a pair of albums and top-selling tours, seven Grammy nominations and two film roles, claimed fifth place.

The Year In Pop: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Lorde Take On The One Percent

macklemore-ryan-lewis-lorde-650-430

Has hating the upper class ever been so cool in pop music? With America in post-"Occupy" mode, the middle class remains constantly suspicious of the wealthy. And for the most part, mainstream music fans didn't want to hear about the lifestyles of the rich and famous; the Rich Kids of Instagram were met with eye-rolls, and most envy was hidden instead of amplified. Instead of being told to throw some D's on a new Cadillac, listeners wanted to hear about the ridiculousness of spending 50 dollars on a t-shirt.

A pair of year-defining singles -- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" and Lorde's "Royals" -- mostly made their hay by railing against consumerism in a manner that included everyone, except for the one percent. Both rallying cries came from previously unheard voices, granting them a shimmering aura of authenticity. All this fury wasn't coming from a bottle-poppin' rapper or a bankable pop star; the masses really could believe Macklemore rocked scuzzy Goodwill sweatshirts or that Lorde counted her dollar bills amidst the rust and decay of the "torn-up town" she sings about. Sure, there were a "Suit & Tie" or two on Top 40 this year, but even those songs didn't revel in over-indulgence as much as they nodded toward an era of music that is no longer at the forefront of pop culture. The most surprising part of Macklemore's pro-DIY lecture on "Thrift Shop" is how unwarranted it felt within the context of modern hip-hop: wealth is still a talking point, but between Drake's soul-searching, Kanye's race talk, Eminem's devotion to the game and Kendrick Lamar's search for street-life meaning, the shiny-suit era is clearly long gone.

The Internet scrutiny of "Thrift Shop" and "Royals" followed each of their respective successes, of course. Meme makers quibbled over the non-thrift store prices Macklemore charged for merch on tour. For Lorde, the singer's background came into question. The New Zealander was certainly born into a family of cultural capital, her hometown of Takapuna is one of Auckland's wealthiest suburbs and the school she attends is highly affluent. If Lorde isn't royal, some argued, then who is?

Both stars were called out for their alleged misunderstanding of the materialistic hip-hop culture they were criticizing -- but if a hip-hop musician comes from an underprivileged background and dreams of wealth, who can blame them? "Around the middle of last year I started listening to a lot of rap, like Nicki Minaj and Drake, as well as pop singers like Lana Del Rey," Lorde told Interview Magazine in a 2013 story.  "They all sing about such opulence, stuff that just didn't relate to me—or anyone that I knew. I began thinking, 'How are we listening to this? It's completely irrelevant.'"

It's certainly disappointing if Lorde hears nothing but opulence when she listens to these artists, but failing to connect with American hip-hop might just make her a kid from the other side of the world. She's not just calling out hip-hop signifiers like gold teeth and Maybach -- she's mocking jet planes, islands, and the joys of  "trippin' in the bathroom." One could find any of those things by flipping on the Bravo network or following a few celebrities on Twitter.

Even if this precocious millennial isn't so poor after all, Lorde's background story is nothing new. Why was everyone suddenly so upset? Once again, the culprit seems to be our Internet-fueled self-awareness and the post-"Occupy" times we live in.

2013 still had its "Bugatti" and "Versace" songs, but people were singing along more loudly to "Thrift Shop" and "Royals" this year. The No. 1 ascensions of "Thrift Shop" and "Royals" proved that Americans want to hear different sorts of narratives -- the pendulum has not completely swung away from luxurious pop, but it is moving. Now the question is how exactly those narratives will change for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Lorde, since both artists have already transitioned from mocking superstar stylings to musical superstardom. Both artists, especially the former, have already followed up their breakout hits with further Hot 100 success. But as these 2013 poster kids accumulate not only new songs but new scrutiny into their personal lives, it will be interesting to see how much fans will hold them accountable to the manifestos that made them famous.

In 2010, M.I.A. munched on a gourmet truffle fry during a New York Times interview and the fallout from the resulting profile had many questioning her cultural validity. How could someone who can afford expensive food possibly identify as a left-wing ally of the third world? Surely one can be conscious and wealthy at the same time, but the masses that can build up (or take down) pop stars often don't think so reasonably. Macklemore and Lorde entered pop this year by connecting to fans by being convincing enough that they were just like one of them; now, they are newly minted members of the billion-dollar music industry. After all the sold-out shows and album sales, their next challenge is to maintain those connections to the masses, once it becomes increasingly obvious that being one of them is something they can no longer do.

Kurt Sutter pushing for Sons of Anarchy prequel.

Sons of Anarchy just finished off its sixth season, but it's never too soon to start talking about what will happen next.

Word on the street says there may be a miniseries that chronicles the beginning of the SAMCRO organization. Kurt Sutter had some welcome news for fans of the hit TV when asked about the potential for a new series.

"I've had discussions with the network about it, and I think they are open to it," he tells People Magazine. "I think there is something really interesting about the origins of the club. And to do a period piece set in the '60s, post-Vietnam could be kind of cool."

Either way, there will be no more anarchy on TV for quite some time. The seventh season is slated to arrive on FX next September. The only other option is to start the series over again and binge watch on Netflix.
