Viva Glam lipstick has developed a reputation for not only its long-lasting formula, but its life-changing impact. Each year, the beauty brand gives 100% of its proceeds back to the community to help those in need, with this year’s profits going to support AIDs research in addition to local organizations for gender, racial and environmental equality.

With 2024 being its 30th birthday, MAC went big and refreshed the formula as well as the shade range, offering four new colors with names aiming to inspire change: Viva Equality, Viva Planet, Viva Heart and Viva Empowered. Each shade is priced at $25 and comes in a range of neutral and bold colors including deep red, pink and even brown. You can purchase the lipsticks from Ulta, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and MACCosmetics.com.

M·A·CXIMAL Silky Matte Viva Glam Lipstick
The updated formula looks to leave behind a silky matte texture that will last up to 12 hours while also providing a max of eight hours of moisture. The lipsticks have gathered a 4.9 rating on Ulta, with shoppers raving over its “creamy” application as well as its ability to blend with other products. One reviewer says they can “top it with other shades and lip gloss,” making it a versatile lip product.
Petras has been a longtime fan of the beauty brand, having showed off a red shade when she won her 2023 Grammy alongside Sam Smith. Being a part of the campaign has been an exciting yet surreal experience for the “Unholy” singer, who still finds it hard to believe she’s the face of MAC.
“Serving as the face of MAC Viva Glam has always been a rite of passage for the most legendary artists in the world,” she said in a press release. “I have to pinch myself every time I remember it’s now my turn to represent the campaign. I am honored to be part of Viva Glam’s long legacy of lifting up people who haven’t always felt seen or represented, and look forward to inspiring the next generation to join us in making the world a more equal place.”
MAC also took to social media to share news of the campaign with a video of Petras explaining the benefits of the lip products in a video showing how the Grammy-winner “serves.”

Although it might look like a vintage radio, it actually doesn’t play music or work like a transistor radio. However, it does mimic the sound effects of crackling, static and Lego weather reports and call letters with a special Sound Brick (batteries included). Just turn it “on” and spin the dial to find a radio station to play random catchphrases.

It also has a smartphone holder built in at its rear, so you can listen to your favorite songs and podcasts via your go-to streaming app, including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and others. Unfortunately, the speakers in this set are non-working.

As a jury enters day two of its deliberations for Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York, comedian Randy Rainbow is training his sights on one of the former president’s most vocal allies — Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
In his latest video, Rainbow pulls clips from Greene’s 60 Minutes interview from April 2023, hosting his own fake version of the show titled 60 MAGATS to “interview” the GOP firebrand. “It’s rare for a member of the House of Representatives to become nationally well-known,” Rainbow states in the introduction of his clip. “Unless, of course, that member is a f–king lunatic like my next guest, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or MTG as she more commonly refers to herself when she can’t remember her full name.”
After calling Greene a “Q clown insurrectionist” and “bleach-blonde bad-built butch body” in their faux conversation, Rainbow launches into his newest song called “Look at Me, I’m MTG,” parodying “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee” from Grease. Wearing a crunchy blonde wig and a pink Trump hat, Rainbow mocks Greene by listing of her lack of credentials: “Trashy as hell, I can’t math, read or spell/ Oh well, I’m MTG,” he croons.
Trending on Billboard
As the song goes on, Rainbow takes shots at Greene’s history of antisemitic and transphobic antics, her past support of conspiracy theories such as QAnon, and her ongoing partnership with fellow GOP representative Lauren Boebert. By the time the song reaches its climax, Rainbow is wearing a red clown nose to send home his point about the representative.
“Ain’t got no class, I’m moronic and crass/ True, I’m profane, all I do is complain/ Just a hot mess, Alex Jones in a dress,” Rainbow belts in the song’s final chorus. “MT, she’s MT, her brain is so empty/ P–s off, I’m MTG!”
