Sabrina Carpenter Drops “House Tour” Music Video

Sabrina Carpenter Drops “House Tour” Music Video

Sabrina Carpenter is taking you on a “House Tour” with a newly dropped music video for her Man’s Best Friend single, and she got some assistance from Margaret Qualley and Madelyne Cline. Qualley co-directed the video alongside Carpenter too, which opens with Carpenter rolling up to a mansion in a pink van that reads “Pretty Girl Clean-Up Crew.” She steps out in a bloodied white high heel, the shoe itself a link to the end of the music video for “Tears.” From there, Carpenter, Qualley and Cline take part in the campy, jovial breaking and entering, frolicking around the mansion as they steal jewelry, clothing and cash. And in typical Carpenter fashion at this point, the video ends with a murder as they run someone over during the getaway. The video was equal parts cheeky and sexy, a fitting accompaniment for the song itself, which was one of the less subtle on Man’s Best Friend as Carpenter sings “none of this is a metaphor, I just want you to come inside.” Carpenter dropped a teaser …

Glen Powell in Toothless Black Comedy

Glen Powell in Toothless Black Comedy

Trying to find your niche as a movie star isn’t easy. Take Glen Powell, for instance, who possesses the sort of matinee idol good looks and charisma that only great genes can provide. Powell has enjoyed great success with continuations of hit franchises, like Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters. And like his not dissimilar predecessor Matthew McConaughey, he’s perfect for romantic comedies, as Anyone but You proved. But he’s also clearly ambitious enough to want to stretch himself. Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, which he also co-wrote, worked beautifully, but that was primarily a streaming release. And when Powell attempted to get into macho leading man mode in the big-budget sci-fi actioner The Running Man, he stumbled badly. You have to give him credit for again trying something different with John Patton Ford’s How to Make a Killing, loosely inspired by the classic 1949 British comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets. As with that classic film, the central character is a man, disowned by the patriarch of his wealthy family (Ed Harris, given only one real scene …

Margaret Qualley on Substance, Surrender, and Life With Jack Antonoff

Margaret Qualley on Substance, Surrender, and Life With Jack Antonoff

Margaret Qualley walks into Clark’s, a diner in Brooklyn Heights, carrying her little dog, Smokey, in her arms and is immediately intercepted by an employee who tells her she can’t have a dog inside. “I’ll be back in 10 minutes” is the first thing she says. She lives nearby with her husband, the musician and producer Jack Antonoff. I suggest taking a walk. “Do you want to just come over?” she asks. I had wondered what the actor who so often portrays an unassuming allure would be like stripped of the mediation of the screen. But I can tell as the words are coming out of her mouth, she’s already changing her mind about having a writer see the inside of her home. “I can have my husband meet me downstairs. It’s a mess.” When Qualley returns, she appears effortless—she’s wearing a hoodie and Uggs and orders hot water with lemon. She seems reluctant to talk about her relationship with Antonoff, whom she met at a party in 2021, other than saying, “I’ve always been …
