Lady Gaga takes the spotlight — and the driver’s seat — in latest ‘Carpool Karaoke’


The front seat of James Corden’s car featured another huge star in the most recent episode of The Late Late Show. This time, it was Lady Gaga riding shotgun — and even driving — while singing along with the show’s host during the Carpool Karaoke segment.

The always-popular routine brought the usual combination of entertaining performance and unique interview. We get to see Gaga in action, not only performing songs off her latest album, Joanne, plus earlier hits, but also showing off her driving skills and signs of road rage. The pop star also answered Corden’s questions about the Super Bowl, songwriting, and fashion — while he wore an approximation of her infamous meat dress, no less.

There were a lot of gentertaining moments between the two, including Lady Gaga’s reaction to Corden’s edible outfit. Ironically, she looked pretty appalled, but to be fair, he basically just had a layer of lunch meat draped on him that he started eating. The two discussed some of her controversial looks and she joked about “fail[ing] fashion.”

“Well, I guess that, with me, I just never really worry about, you know, who likes it or doesn’t. Kind of the point is to be unfashionable,” she tells Corden in the segment.

The conversation didn’t stray into fashion for long, though; instead, they mostly talked music. We learned a lot about Gaga, including the fact that she can write songs in just 10 minutes. Believe it or not, Born This Way, Just Dance, and Poker Face were each written in that amount of time. No wonder she has been able to create so many hits in a relatively short time.

Overall, Gaga proved to be another fun Carpool Karaoke companion, road rage issues notwithstanding.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
