Kendrick Lamar, GQ (2013)
One of the most controversial GQ profiles of all time featured Kendrick Lamar.*** In 2013, at the peak of his come up post-'Good Kid M.A.A.D City,' Kendrick was going from funerals in Compton to fashion week in NYC, and in the early stages of a beef with one of the other biggest names in hip hop: Drake. If you want to hear how it began for those two, it's all here.***Kendrick's record label TDE ha
Addison Rae, Rolling Stone (2025)
Rolling Stone is crowning the next pop princess. Whether you're an Addison fan or not, there's no question her rebrand has been fascinating. She is extremely calculated in her curated image, which includes an obsession with glamor, Barry's boot camp, and never feeling sadness??? It's admirable and a little spooky. Also! Commentary on Timothee and Kylie, n00d men and so much more. Cohosted by Ivana
Meghan and Harry, Vanity Fair (2025)
Oooof baby do we have a royal drama for you.

Blake Lively, Vogue (2009) — RE-READ
It's 2009, and Blake Lively is on top of the world. She’s blonde, beautiful and leading the hottest show on the CW, which is all kind of unsurprising considering, yes, she was a cheerleader and class president. This whole profile is about how Blake Lively is EXTREMELY likable. We’d love your thoughts if, looking back, you could have seen all this coming. Cohosted by Ivana Rihter.https://www.vogue.
Dua Lipa, Rolling Stone (2024)
It's Dua's holiday, and we're just swiping through it.In the middle of her Saturn Return, Dua is riding the high of Barbie and a lot of uncertainty around her new album, Radical Optimism. With her new (rumored) engagement to Callum Turner, we decided to try to get to know Dua a little better — learning why she hates the 'go girl give us nothing' meme and her 'Vacanza queen' title.

It's our final episode of the year, and what better way to celebrate than pushing your limits.Also, we love you so much. Thank you for being on the ride wi
Kate Winslet, Rolling Stone (1998)
Every three or so years, Kate Winslet re-emerges, proving that she can be hot, scary, sexy, funny, frumpy, manic, and, this year, a model-turned-war photographer for Vogue. Before all that, though, Kate was just a 22-year-old girl starring in the biggest movie on the planet and convinced she was fat.
