For years, executives at British retailer Fred Perry have tried to distance themselves from the Neo-fascists who love their clothes. Now, the brand has pulled one of the most recognizable Proud Boys uniforms from American stores. The same week that hundreds of Proud Boys marched in Portland, Fred Perry released a statement on its website announcing that the black and yellow-tipped polo shirt appropriated by members of the far-right hate group will not be sold in the United States or Canada “until we’re satisfied that its association with the Proud Boys has ended.” (The shirt has not been sold in this […]

The new Katy Perry is a lot like the old one—or at least one of the old ones in her era-defined pop career. Her album Smile, released on Aug. 28, feels like a B side to her third album Prism, released seven years ago, that found her healing from a short-lived marriage to Russell Brand and the intensity of her record-smashing Teenage Dream run. Instead of pursuing personal happiness amid commercial success and public heartbreak this time, Perry is rehabilitating from the crash and burn of her previous album Witness that left her “depressed” and “insecure” after failing to impress critics […]
The award-winning rapper stunned audiences on 5 July when he announced he was trying his hand in a completely new walk of life, setting himself a goal of challenging President Trump, who he had earlier endorsed, and presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the forthcoming national polls. Katy Perry has commented on the news that hip-hop icon Kanye West is running for US president this November, saying that while she “loves him as an artist”, the White House job is one “best suited for someone with experience”. Speaking to Hits Radio Breakfast on Friday she made it clear that she’d rather […]
Of course Reverend Troy Perry is a preacher. He sounds like one. His voice booms smoothly. His Southern accent remains in place, despite years of Californian living. More than one sentence ends with a “And I will tell you…” On July 27th, Perry will celebrate his 80th birthday, and there’s a long, dramatic life to look back on which at its heart is about how one gay man who cherished his belief and faith in God did not believe—as he was constantly told—that God did not love him because he was gay. And to prove it, he created a church all […]
Matthew Rhys is on a roll. It’s very charming. The Welsh accent is lilting along, as if ricocheting off the hills and dales of Wye Valley, as he stammers, jokes, and tells vivid stories about his time shooting HBO’s new reboot/prequel/reimagination, however you want to describe it, of Perry Mason. But he abruptly stops himself mid-thought, a fast-talker slamming the brakes so hard it almost sends the listener careening. “I’m trying to reel my pretentiousness in…” he says. A version of the apology, a sort of self-conscious, self-aware moral speed bump, arrives a few times in our conversation. Read any number […]
Katy Perry will not be satisfied until you cover her in daisies! Daisies! DAISIES! On Friday Perry released a new video for “Daisies,” from her upcoming studio album. In the video, she wanders through the woods in an ethereal white dress—and eventually finds some rock formations and then a waterfall, where she peels off her clothes and tosses them in the water, showing off her pregnant body. In an Instagram post about the song, Perry said she “wrote this song a couple months ago as a call to remain true to the course you’ve set for yourself, regardless of what others […]
