Holding a good thought for my forever idol, Marilyn Monroe, on the 100th anniversary of her birth.
Long before “girl power” had a name, Marilyn showed the world what it looked like: confident, vulnerable, funny, determined, and completely unforgettable. She was far more than a beautiful face. She was a gifted actor, a cultural phenomenon, and a woman who worked incredibly hard to be taken seriously in a world that so often refused to see beyond the image.
A century after her birth, new generations are still discovering the magic that made her unlike anyone else before or since. There will never be another Marilyn. Her films, her timeless spirit, and the fascination she inspires continue to endure.
Thank you, Marilyn, for showing us that strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive, for inspiring generations to embrace their power and individuality, and to never stop believing in themselves. 💖✨

Ladies, gentlemen, SWs fans…😝 I have explored space. I have explored time. Now… I explore distortion.
Yes. You read that correctly. I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album.
Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose. Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire.
This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration.
At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up.
So prepare yourselves. We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘
Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.
Congratulations to Poppy @AmyLeeEV and @corklezlaplante on a historical chart-topping achievement!🎊
This is the first time that three women have led the list in collaboration in the ranking's 45-year history!
It also marks the first Rock Radio #1 spot for Poppy, Courtney LaPlant and Amy Lee (as a solo artist).
Congratulations on making history!👏
