Miranda Lambert Recreates Her Iconic 'Kerosene' Look 20 Years Later
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
As someone who frequently watched music videos on CMT while growing up, I'll never forget the first time I saw Miranda Lambert walking down a long winding road in her Mama Tried tank top, with her hoop earrings dangling alongside her messy long blonde hair, threatening her no-good-ex-boyfriend with a tin of kerosene in hand. I don't think I had ever seen anyone look so cool.
The music video for her hit song "Kerosene" became iconic, and teenage girls everywhere wanted to look as cool and pissed off as Lambert did. Since the song came out in 2005, the country singer's look was very reminiscent of the grungy-glam trend at the time with messy, wavy hair and smoky makeup. With a little bit of Texas added to it, of course.
Now, twenty years later, the country singer is celebrating the title track that helped launch her career. She released the album on vinyl for the first time and has been sharing fun mementos on social media from that time in her career, including a new take on the iconic "Kerosene" music video look.$31.99 at walmart.com$37.99 at gypsyville.com
She even shared a video of her hairstylist Johnny recreating the look with a little modern twist. First of all, he uses three different hot tools to get the messy, lived in waves. First up is the Trademark Beauty Hair Waver, he also uses the Olivia Garden 1 Inch Curling Iron, and the 1/4 Hot Tools Curling Iron, which is incredibly hard to come by these days. So, I recommend the 1/2 Hot Tools Curling Iron, or the Hot & Hotter 1/4 Curling Iron to get the same kind of look. However, Johnny says the waver and a small curling iron should get the job done.
And to get the "Big 'ole Texas hair" as Lambert called it, Johnny mentioned using a volumizing product to prep your hair before. Then, curl a small piece of your hair with the 1/4-inch curling iron, wrap the top half of your hair one way around the iron, take it out, and wrap the bottom half of the same piece of hair the opposite way. Then, use your fingers to pull on the end of your hair a bit to let the curl fall out a little. Repeat this throughout the rest of your hair until you get the "Kerosene" look. Curling your hair this way creates a cool texture and gives a more natural and messy look. I'm assuming Johnny incorporates the Hair Waver every now and then to mix up the texture even more and create different style of waves all around her hair. Johnny also used the Oribe Dry Texture Spray and Oribe Beach Spray in Miranda's hair and gave it a bit of a zhuzh with his hands to make it even more messy. And don't forget to tease it to Jesus, y'all.
Lambert has been rocking this throwback look for all kinds of events recently and fans are obsessed.. You can get all of the products mentioned and join in on the "Kerosene" fun, or just because you simply love the look like I do.$89.00 at amazon.com$26.96 at amazon.com$63.99 at amazon.com$24.00 at amazon.com$52.00 at amazon.com$44.38 at amazon.com

Lizzo admits she tried Ozempic — months after shutting down weight loss drug rumors
All the rumors are true. Pop star Lizzo admitted that she tried Ozempic and other trendy weight loss drugs after denying accusations that she used medications to shed weight. 'It's not easy,' Lizzo confessed during a conversation about Ozempic on Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas' 'Just Trish' podcast. 5 Lizzo admitted to using Ozempic on the 'Just Trish' podcast. Just Trish Podcast / YouTube The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said she 'tried everything' to lose weight and ended up focusing on counting calories instead of taking a weekly jab. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' Lizzo added. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s–t.' Paytas questioned how the 37-year-old managed to control her food intake without a shot. The '2 Be Loved' singer credited changing her workout routine and shared that she was no longer vegan or eating plant-based, which she has done for 'like 10 years.' 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming like 3,000 – 5,000 calories a day,' the artist shared. 5 The pop singer shared that she is no longer vegan. Just Trish Podcast / YouTube 5 Lizzo announced that she lost 16% of her body fat in April. The 'About Damn Time' songstress claimed she now eats whole foods such as beef, chicken and fish to feel full instead of 'putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' Lizzo added meat back into her diet during a trip to Japan. 'I heard the Japanese diet was the healthiest diet in the world,' she said. 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'more, more please.' And I was like, 'ok, this is what my body likes.' 5 The four-time Grammy winner attended the 2025 BET Awards on June 9. Getty Images for BET 'I don't like to tell people too much about releasing weight like what I did because I don't want people to do what I did and it doesn't work for them. Everybody's body is different.' Lizzo, who heavily promoted body positivity throughout her career, didn't specify which GLP-1 brand she allegedly took or when she tried it. Common GLP-1 drugs people use to drop weight include Wegovy, Mounjaro and Ozempic, which was initially developed to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. 5 Lizzo performing at the Kia Forum in California on November 18, 2022. Getty Images The four-time Grammy Award winner's GLP-1 confession on the podcast happened months after she denied accusations that she took Ozempic. 'When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,' the singer wrote in an Instagram post in September 2024. Lizzo has been very public about her body transformation, diet and exercise routing on social media in the past, but she would often deny claims that she used a GLP-1 to assist with her weight loss journey. In April, the singer claimed she lost 16% of her body fat in a TikTok livestream by just cutting out 'two to three' Starbucks drinks daily and focusing on a calorie deficit.

Wow. The 14 Must-Watch Owen Wilson Movies.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." SOME PEOPLE ARE, to put it simply, balls of shining light. Those people exist here and there in our everyday lives, sure, but especially so when watching movies and TV shows. We're talking about the people who show up, and whether in a lead or supporting role, are someone we don't mind spending whatever time we can get with. For nearly 30 years, Owen Wilson has been one of those people. Wilson is best known for his work in comedy (starting with his debut role in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket), but through the years he's also shown an innate ability to handle anything from an action movie to a psychological drama just as well. He's a versatile performer who can do just about anything a director or a viewer might want, and always make it happen with his signature laid-back, likable charm. Even when he's playing someone who's kind of a dick—like, say, in Zoolander or The Royal Tenenbaums—there's something about the guy that we can't help but come around to. In his latest project, Apple TV+'s Stick, he comes around to a genre he's dabbled in before—the sports story. As a co-writer of The Royal Tenenbaums (which prominently features tennis) and a star of James L. Brooks's How Do You Know (where he played a baseball player), this isn't uncharted territory. But while Stick hits most of the familiar sports movie beats, where it shines is in centering Wilson—once again, he's just a guy we want to spend some time with. And if you're watching Stick (or anything else) and want to spend more time with Owen Wilson, the list below will have you covered with some of his best and most versatile appearances. Owen Wilson—along with his brother, Luke Wilson—first came to fame in Wes Anderson's debut film, Bottle Rocket. While Anderson's style would become much refined from here, Bottle Rocket is an indie comedy heist movie that perfectly puts on display exactly what both Wilsons are capable of. It's fun, clever, funny, and extremely formative to Wilson's persona as a screen presence. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWithout doubt one of Wilson's greatest partnerships has come with Ben Stiller (a relationship that lasts to this very day), and their dynamic is never better on display than in Zoolander. The film follows Derek Zoolander (Stiller), an empty-headed male model who's at the very top of his game—until a "so hot right now" newcomer named Hansel (Wilson) starts to steal his thunder. Add in a hilarious villain named Mugatu (Will Ferrell) and a funny Manchurian Candidate style subplot, and you have one of the signature comedies of the 2000s. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Royal Tenenbaums tells the story of a narcissistic family patriarch named Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) who returns home with life-changing news for his family. Tenenbaums is, to this day, one of Wes Anderson's best films—it's arguably the point where his style most clearly and without question came into full focus—and clearly provided inspiration for shows like Arrested Development and Succession. Wilson plays the vital role of Eli Cash, who is a lifelong family friend of the Tenenbaum family who grows up into a Cormac McCarthy-esque writer of modern Western fiction. Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Owen's brother Luke are among the many others in this impressive and delightful cast. This may be the best movie on this list overall. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeLook, we said Wilson and Stiller were one of the great comedy duos of the 2000s, and that wasn't a lie. Meet the Parents focuses on Ben Stiller's Greg Focker as he tries to win over Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), the deadly serious and highly skeptical father of his new fiancée. But that's not his only task—he's also got to compete with Kevin (Wilson), who's his fiancée's charismatic and highly-successful ex-boyfriend. The two, as usual, work some magic together. There are two other films in this series (Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers) with a fourth on the way, but for the purposes of this list we're going to have to stick with the OG. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen Rush Hour became a major hit in the late '90s, replicating its success became a major priority. And so Shanghai Noon was born—and it's different enough from Rush Hour to still hold up pretty decently. Jackie Chan stars as Chon Wang (pronounced like "John Wayne,' ha ha) who is from the Chinese Imperial Guard and looking to save a princess—and is teamed up with a fun-loving cowboy named Roy O'Bannon (a perfectly cast Wilson, stepping into the Chris Tucker role). It's fun! So fun, in fact, that a second movie, Shanghai Knights came out a couple years later. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWe said Zoolander was one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, and it certainly is. But part of the glory of Owen Wilson is that he's in more than one of the signature broad comedies of the 2000s, because Wedding Crashers is certainly that. Wilson and Vince Vaughn play a pair of attorneys who have an annual tradition: pretending to be people they aren't in order to get into weddings they were not invited to, and just have a ton of fun. Wilson and Vaughn's chemistry is for the ages, their love interests are played by Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken is there, and you get a fantastic early Bradley Cooper performance as the film's villain. Truly what more do you need? It's a raunchy classic for a reason. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeThe Wes Anderson movies just keep coming. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a movie about deep sea exploration, but at it's core its a story about a father (Bill Murray) and his son (Wilson). Come for Anderson's aesthetic and the movie's fantastic David Bowie covers, and stick around for a really touching relationship at the core and well-crafted characters. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubePart of Wilson's greatness is that he can do a little bit of everything—and that includes voicing the lead character in an iconic Pixar film. Cars is a film about, well, cars, but Wilson plays the one and only Lightning McQueen. Lightning is stand-in for the typical hot-shot athlete who knows little more than winning and his own catch phrases before he needs to get humbled and meets a world-weary mentor named Doc Hudson (voiced by Paul Newman). There are three Cars movies, but the first remains the best, and a classic for all ages, to this day. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeFolks, we've reached the list's fourth and final Wes Anderson movie, and it's The Darjeeling Limited. The film features three brothers—played by Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and reigning Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody—as they take a trip through India with one another on the anniversary of their father's death. It's one of Anderson's most touching and personal films. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWhen we say Wilson can do it all, we mean it—and that includes fun/sad dog movies. Wilson's two most vital co-stars in Marley & Me are Jennifer Aniston and the adorable canine playing Marley. You know what you're going to get with this one, but damn if it's not effective! Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeYou've got Wilson the comedy star. You've got Wilson the family movie star. You've got Wilson the animation voiceover star. And in Behind Enemy Lines, you get the chance to see Wilson as the action star, once again opposite the great Gene Hackman. Is this the greatest action movie ever made? No, it's really not—it's a pretty standard military thriller. But he can do it, and it's fun to see these two actors go at it. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWith Midnight in Paris, you can add a bit of romance and magical realism to the Owen Wilson portfolio. This film, which won Woody Allen an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, follows a writer (Wilson) who visits Paris with his fiancée (Rachel McAdams) and her family, where he becomes taken to long walks by himself. On these walks, he eventually finds a way to transport to the Jazz Age, where he meets figures like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and more. It's a touching, sweet, funny movie about rediscovering what's important to you and feeling alive—and Wilson proves to be one of Allen's great protagonists. Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeWilson got to work with another fantastic modern director named Anderson in Inherent Vice, Paul Thomas Anderson's 2014 adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name. And keeping with the source material, Inherent Vice is a trippy, psychedelic neo-noir, with another stacked cast. The film follows Doc (Joaquin Phoenix), a private detective who is looking for numerous missing people—one of whom is a dude named Coy Harlingen (Wilson). Shop Now Shop Now See the original post on YoutubeOK. Not a movie. But we're going to make an exception on Wilson's list to include Loki, which got the actor into the Marvel world for the first time as time-travel authority Mobius M. Mobius. Wilson is a a natural fit in the role, because despite not looking much like himself—Mobius has short, light, almost gray hair, and a mustache—this role makes fantastic use of his feel-good go-with-the-flow vibe. Wilson fits perfectly with Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki), and every scene with the two of them together is just a delight. "He's the best. He's actually the best," Hiddleston told Men's Health in a recent interview. "He's one of the great men. I love that guy." We're going to have to agree.

Nintendo just revealed Pauline as a surprise character in Donkey Kong Bananza
Nintendo just dropped a ton of details about the next major Switch 2 first-party game. Donkey Kong Bananza was the star of a Nintendo Direct livestream this morning and it was filled to the brim with nifty tidbits to get fans excited about the 3D platformer. The biggest news is the addition of Pauline as DK's sidekick. She goes all the way back to the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Nintendo really pulled a fast one here, as the first trailer showed the sidekick as an anthropomorphic rock of some kind. This would be in line with Mario's various partners in his 3D platformers, as he's teamed up with hats, stars and other inanimate objects.

Pauline is the sidekick, as she was trapped inside of that rock. Nintendo really went all in with this prank. Even the original box art showed the little rock character, which has now been replaced by Pauline. There's even a two-player co-op mode in which one person controls Pauline. This will work on GameShare, so it only requires one copy of the game.

Donkey Kong Bananza features Pauline as a kid and the Donkey Kong arcade cabinet starred her as an adult. This throws everything we know about the arcade game into question. Was Donkey Kong just protecting his surrogate daughter from the evil mustached plumber? Remember, Donkey Kong Jr. featured Mario as the antagonist. It's also worth noting that Pauline last appeared in Super Mario Odyssey , as the mayor of New Donk City. Did she create the city to honor her childhood hero? I have so many questions.

Pauline wasn't the only cool thing that Nintendo revealed today. Donkey Kong Bananza has some light RPG mechanics, in the form of a skill tree. There are outfits to purchase for both DK and Pauline, which is always fun. DK can also turn into other creatures, offering the ape new abilities. Transforming into an ostrich inexplicably grants flight and turning into a zebra lets players run on water. The trailer also placed a heavy emphasis on the destructive nature of the gameplay. We already knew that DK could destroy just about anything , leading to novel exploration methods, but that looks to be an even bigger part of the game than we thought. Remember how much climbing up anything changed the Zelda formula with Breath of the Wild ? This is Donkey Kong's take on that.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a Switch 2 exclusive that will be available on July 17. Nintendo is also prepping an Amiibo figure that stars both Donkey Kong and Pauline. This grants a new outfit for Pauline.
