Gossip’s Beth Ditto has revealed that she had never heard Rihanna’s hit song ‘Umbrella’ until Jessie Ware sang it to her at Glastonbury.The discussion arose as part of a new interview between the Gossip singer and the ‘Free Yourself’ artist as part of a new episode on the latter’s Table Manners podcast.In the discussion, Ditto recalled a time when she was at Glastonbury back in 2007 to perform with her bandmates, and was introduced to the song for the first time – despite it dominating charts around the world at that point.According to Ditto, she first heard the song when a then-unknown Jessie Ware was singing it in the audience as a rainstorm hit the festival, and had no idea the song was already a chart hit.“I did not realise that was you, and in my memory, the first time I’d ever heard the song ‘Umbrella’ was you and your friend. I remember the two of you, your haircut… everybody did it because you had an umbrella,” she told Jessie and her mum Lennie.“It’s such a core memory for me because I remember that day that these two girls walked up to me, I remember y’all singing ‘Umbrella, ella, ella‘ and I was thinking ‘These girls are singing a hit!’ I did not know it was a Rihanna song, I thought you made it up!”She continued, admitting that she had tried to tell the story countless times in the years since, particularly after Ware made it into the spotlight herself with her pop career.“I’d never even heard that song, it doesn’t sound that crazy when I tell you.

Alex Garland took SXSW 2024 by storm last night with the world premiere of his latest film, “Civil War.” And the new feature, about a near-future United States fractured into warring factions, has many moviegoers excited and anxious about the film’s imminent release in theaters and IMAX next month. THR reports that Garland took questions about his new movie at a Film & TV panel in Austin today to explain why he chose to make “Civil War,” if he’s trying to say anything explicit about American politics, and whether A24‘s release of this film before the 2024 US presidential election is deliberate bad timing or coincidental.

Alex Garland‘s latest film, Civil War,  from A24 and featuring a star-studded cast including Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman, aims to hold a mirror up to a society spiraling out amongst civil war. In a time when flipping through the news or scrolling through social media can feel like peering into dystopia, Garland wants to crystallize these anxieties into a narrative form, offering a prophetic vision of America’s future. However, despite its ambitious premise and high-caliber cast, the movie stands as a muddled reflection, ultimately rendering its cautionary tale less impactful than intended.

One of the most anticipated movies in a contentious Red vs. Blue election year, A24‘s Civil War made its grand splash Thursday night in the Texas democratic stronghold of Austin — and the media, on which this feature casts a spotlight, savored it like a stack of beef ribs.
