‘Barbie’ star Margot Robbie: The Spice Girls taught me how to be a feminist

Margot Robbie, the Spice Girls were no feminist wannabes.In fact, the two-time Oscar nominee attributes some of her own ideas about feminism — which she and director Greta Gerwig explore in the much-anticipated “Barbie” movie, out July 21 — to the 1990s British girl group.“The Spice Girls changed everything and dictated my version of second-wave feminism,” Robbie, 33, told Rolling Stone.“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, they wear little sparkly dresses and push-up bras and then have a girl gang? That’s what I want to be!’”Growing up in the ’90s, the Aussie-born Robbie also had a pink passion for the Aqua bop “Barbie Girl.” At the urging of the “Babylon” actress, the 1997 hit was included on the “Barbie” soundtrack — reworked as a “Barbie World” duet featuring rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.“I was like, ‘Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there,’” Robbie told a reporter.

Lil Uzi Vert has included a cover of System Of A Down’s ‘Chop Suey!’ on his latest album. Check it out below.The cover arrived as part of the American rapper’s third studio album, ‘Pink Tape’, which arrived last week (June 30).However, the cover has remained somewhat overlooked since the album’s release — especially in light of star-studded collaborations from artists including Bring Me The Horizon — as it wasn’t clearly labelled as a cover of the heavy metal hit.Instead, the rendition arrived as the 17th song on the 26-song tracklist, and was simply titled ‘CS’ — leading to a few fans missing it at first glance.Arriving immediately after a song called ‘Fire Alarm’ and just before the Bring Me The Horizon collaboration ‘Werewolf’, ‘CS’ is a straight-up cover of the 2001 hit, taken from the band’s second album ‘Toxicity’.
