#AnneHeche, who rose to fame in the late '80s on the soap opera 'Another World', has died. She was 53 years old. On Friday (August 5), the actress drove a car into a California residence at full speed. In a statement released by her family a week later on August 12, it was announced that she "suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive." Shortly after, news of her passing was confirmed by her rep. Heche is remembered by friends and family for her "generous spirit as well as her shining talent in films and shows like 'Wag the Dog,' ' #Quantico,' '#ChicagoPD,' and '#SixDaysSevenNights.' She will be missed.

The visual rollout for #Beyoncé's #Renaissance has begun. On Friday (8/12), #Bey released the official teaser for the music video for #ImThatGirl, the opening track off her latest project. And while the lyrics suggest "it's not the diamonds, it's not the pearls, it's just that I'm that girl" — and we totally agree — #Yoncé certainly didn't skimp on the glitz or the glam. The clip finds her clad in tulle and armor, and yes — glittering diamonds, serving up a myriad of stunning looks in a way that only #Beyonce can. And while the tease is generous — nearly two minutes of stunning visuals — they stop after 1:50, but the video itself is 3:36 long. When she'll be releasing the full video is still a mystery, so in the meantime, we'll just play this teaser on repeat. Head to her youtube channel to see it for yourself and swipe through for a quick look at some of the looks she serves.

From #UltraBlack with #Nas, to working with #Beyoncé, we visited #HitBoy in the studio where he gave @MTVNews’ @Dometi_ the lowdown on his roots, fatherhood, and production style for #MTVTheMethod. Watch the full episode at http://YouTube.com/MTVNews.

#MillieBobbyBrown is focusing on healing, and she opened up about it to @Allure in a recent interview. The #EnolaHolmes star has amassed a cult fandom since we were first introduced to her in #StrangerThings back in 2016. Now, at 18, she's an accomplished actress, a budding screenwriter, and a businesswoman (the beauty brand Florence by Mills is now a global entity). These days, in addition to acting and being the Goodwill Ambassador for #Unicef, she's also continuing to hone in on bettering her self-care practices and championing things she cares about. Her message: "Young girls deserve an education. Young people everywhere deserve equal rights. [You] deserve to love the people that you want to love. Be the people that you want to be and achieve the dreams that you want to achieve." And while her star continues to rise, she likes to keep it chill. Of course, we've seen her on numerous red carpets, but her personal style motto is simple — she likes comfort. To put it plainly: "If they have a dress code, I’m not going." Respect!

#AmandaSeyfried has a storied career, and after so many years in the biz, she professes that when it comes to work, "I'm uncrushable.” In an interview with @netaporter, #TheDropout star — who is up for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie at this year's #Emmys for her role as #ElizabethHolmes — opened up about her career, her confidence, and her pet donkey. "There’s a respect level that I have never felt so fully around me. It has nothing to do with any level of fame or recognition or critical acclaim," she told the outlet. "Whatever it is, it’s not because of 'Mank,' it’s not because of 'The Dropout', it’s not about having seen my movies. I’m respected because I’m 36 years old and I know who the f-ck I am.” She also got real about her work ethic and luck: "I’ve never gone a day without feeling like I’ve worked really hard. (...) I have many strokes of luck and a lot of hard work and a lot of being in the right place at the right time. I understand all of that.” Head to net-a-porter.com to read the full interview.
