!! OMG, new music: Miley’s desert-washed ‘Different Religion’ video recalls vintage Britney and guitars !!

Miley has found religion, and he drives a fast car. The video for “Different Religion,” her collab with Brooklyn rock band Model/Actriz, opens on a white car tearing down a desert highway with mountains in the rear view and Miley behind the wheel.

Director Mert Alas plays it like a Stronger-era Britney desert drive, all dusty highway and big hair, and Miley thrashing an electric guitar like it owes her money.

Check out the video above! Thoughts? The song is an actual bop!

!! OMG, here’s some newly released photos of Dolly Parton and Carl Dean courtesy of Dolly Parton’s Life of Many Colors Museum !!

Dolly Parton’s‘s partner Carl Dean famously stayed out of the spotlight, so a new set of photos of him goofing around with Dolly is a treat!

Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville has released a black and white photo booth strip of the couple from more than fifty years ago. Dolly’s niece Rebecca Seaver told Vogue it turned up in Carl’s old military trunk. In the frames the two of them are tugging at each other’s faces and cracking up.

Dolly met Carl at a laundromat in 1964, on her very first day in Nashville, and they stayed married for nearly 59 years. Carl died last year and Dolly followed this August, so it’s a lot to see them this young and this silly. The museum opened to the public on Tuesday, and these photos will be part of it.

!! OMG, WATCH: Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) & Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) chat on The A24 Podcast !!

The iconic pairing chats Devonté’s cello score as the fifth lead in The Invite, Daft Punk working with an 85 piece orchestra on Tron: Legacy (also starring Olivia Wilde!).

They also discuss finding the magic chemistry between strings and dialogue, monophonic vs. polyphonic, a great note from a Disney executive, extreme precision, the true effort it takes to bring soul to synthesizers, composing the Mythologies ballet score before the choreography existed, Random Access Memories being made like a film without cameras, the 250 tracks on Daft Punk’s “Touch,” spending two years with just a piano and GoPro, restoring Electroma in 35mm for Tribeca Film Festival, and curiosity as an antidote to the algorithm.

!! OMG, it was all about Rihanna at the Matières Fécales show at Paris Fashion Week !!

Is it just us, or does Rihanna look like she’s about ready to release new music!? Ri opened her Paris Fashion Week in the front row at Matières Fécales. Yes, the name means exactly what you think.

Her custom look was a fringed skirt suit in what the brand calls “golden thread knit couture”. Whatever it was – she looked HAWT!

Madonna opened the VMAs last night with her first performance on the show in 23 years, and she brought company. She started “Bring Your Love” spread-eagle atop a black grand piano as Sabrina played the keys below. Then Charli showed up for “Danceteria” on a stage set designed to look like a public men’s bathroom, urinals and all.

!! OMG, Charli XCX covers the fall issue of PLAYBOY !!

Charli’s lookin’ hot AF on the new over-hauled PLAYBOY for fall. She’s WELL FIT, m8! While the singer/actor didn’t show her bits, she served the fuck out of it, and let’s get real – this new version of PLAYBOY is basically for the gays – it works!

Check out the full spread after the jump. I do hope she promotes this by saying “It was very tasteful.” like the celebrities in the 90s did. Otherwise, MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
