Gloria Gaynor's Survival Story Isn't Over

Gloria Gaynor has always been a survivor. But in this era of her life, the 81-year-old music legend is more interested in thriving than surviving. “I’ve already survived,” Gaynor tells PAPER. “I don’t need anyone in particular to survive. Everybody is replaceable — except Jesus.” This belief is reflected in her new EP, Happy Tears, out June 6. Following her 2019 Grammy Award-winning gospel album Testimony, the new project holds onto her Christian values while simultaneously dipping back into her … Continue reading “Gloria Gaynor's Survival Story Isn't Over”

Amazon’s massive James Bond change set to ‘irk 007 purists’

There could be a huge change coming to the next James Bond film (Picture: Mgm/Columbia/Eon/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock) Amazon Prime Video is reportedly set to massively shake up the James Bond franchise in a way that could prove controversial among fans. Amazon Studios officially purchased MGM for $8.45billion (£6.7billion) in 2022, with a new agreement over creative control meaning Bond — and whoever is next to play 007 – is entirely under the streamer’s control. It is a landmark decision as family-run Eon Productions has brought Bond to … Continue reading “Amazon’s massive James Bond change set to ‘irk 007 purists’”

‘50 years ago I rescued a penguin, now Steve Coogan is playing me in a film’

Steve Coogan stars as Tom Michell in The Penguin Lessons, directed by Peter Cattaneo (Picture: Lionsgate) ‘It was a tiny movement, really. I almost missed it. If the penguin hadn’t flapped his swings I would have assumed he was dead like all the others… Then none of this would have ever happened.’ This was the moment when Tom Michell, a 23-year-old science teacher working in South America, first spotted a penguin on the coast of Punta del Este in Uruguay … Continue reading “‘50 years ago I rescued a penguin, now Steve Coogan is playing me in a film’”

My micro-budget film I made with friends beat £1,000,000 movies – here’s how we did it

Two Big Feet just won the Manchester Film Festival over films with £1,000,000 budgets (Picture: Noah Stratton-Twine) To succeed in making a feature film as a normal person without funding seems nigh on impossible, let alone to win any awards – especially when you’re up against films with a £1million budget. Forget it. That’s what actor Oliver Woolf, 26, and director Noah Stratton-Twine, 26, thought – until they did it. Last month, their debut full-length film Two Big Feet, which was … Continue reading “My micro-budget film I made with friends beat £1,000,000 movies – here’s how we did it”

Star Talk: Backstage Interviews at Coachella 2025

If you can’t stand the heat then get out of the desert — and this post, because we’re turning it up to a billion degrees… which, I’m pretty sure, was the exact forecast of Indio Valley last weekend as PAPER sprinted around the Coachella polo fields to talk to your favorite stars (you’re welcome!).

Behind LISA’s Futuristic Coachella Looks

Designer Asher Levine is both hyper and exhausted as we chat over Zoom. He’s calling in from his sunny Los Angeles studio. “This was the unit where the Mulleavy sisters started Rodarte,” he tells me, with a glimmer in his eye. “I found it on Craigslist.” He’s still “landing the plane” after a mind bending month, since stylist Brett Allen Nelson called him to request two looks for international superstar LISA’s big Coachella moment. LISA’s Coachella vision board was chock … Continue reading “Behind LISA’s Futuristic Coachella Looks”

Magdalene Is a Very 'Lucky Girl'

“I’m a lucky girl/ I get everything I want/ Hands on the dashboard/ I trust everything is working out,” burgeoning pop star Magdalene sings at the top of her newest single, the aptly titled “Lucky Girl.” Part affirmation, part battle cry, but fully an anthem, the song is an encapsulation of the artist and producer’s ethos. Magdalene melds early-2000s Britney, Xtina and Madonna with her own distinct very 2025, DIY flavor. She even received input from Model/Actriz frontman and recent … Continue reading “Magdalene Is a Very 'Lucky Girl'”
