Editorial: Yes, I Am a Lobster

By Lana Del Rey


DECEMBER 14, 2024


After weeks of speculation, denials, and drama, it’s time for me to come clean: yes, I am, indeed, a lobster.


I know this revelation might come as a shock to some of you, especially after my heated denials and the accusations I hurled at Taylor Swift (I’m sorry, Taylor). But the truth is, I’ve been hiding this part of myself for far too long, and I owe it to my fans—and to myself—to embrace who I truly am.


Growing up as a crustacean in a human world hasn’t been easy. I’ve always had to hide my claws, both literally and metaphorically. When I first broke into the music industry, I was terrified that my fans wouldn’t accept me if they knew the truth. So, I wore gloves in public, avoided seafood restaurants, and kept my true self buried beneath layers of artistry and mystique.


But this past month has been a whirlwind, and the relentless speculation forced me to confront something I’ve been avoiding for years. The photo on the yacht? It wasn’t doctored. The claws are real.


I also want to take this opportunity to apologize to Frederick Prentiss, who has been covering this story with passion and integrity (and, yes, a touch of crustacean-phobia). Frederick, I’m truly sorry for storming out of our interview and snapping at you when you referred to me as “Lobster Del Rey.” I know you didn’t mean it maliciously, and I appreciate the work you’ve done to bring this story to light, even when I wasn’t ready to face the truth myself.


So, where do I go from here? First, I want to reassure my fans that this doesn’t change who I am as an artist. If anything, embracing my lobster identity will allow me to create more authentic, heartfelt music. My upcoming album, Under the Waves, will explore themes of self-acceptance, transformation, and life in the deep blue sea.


To my fans, thank you for sticking with me through this surreal journey. And to anyone who feels like they don’t belong, let me be the first to say: you are beautiful just the way you are, claws and all.


With love (and a little bit of saltwater),

Lana Del Rey

Opinion: Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, “Mocha Mousse,” Is an Absolute Disaster

Image
By Charles Edison, Opinion Editor December 6th, 2024 When Pantone announced its 2025 Color of the Year, “Mocha Mousse,” I had to double-check the date. Was it April Fool’s Day? Sadly, no. Pantone really expects us to embrace a color that looks like  literal poop . Let’s not mince words: “Mocha Mousse” is an aesthetic abomination. Brown can be warm and inviting, but this shade is the exact opposite—uninspired, murky, and downright unappetizing. Instead of signaling creativity, it looks like someone decided to paint the world with the contents of a clogged toilet. A Missed Opportunity Pantone bills “Mocha Mousse” as “grounding” and “reassuring.” Grounding, maybe—if your idea of grounding involves burying yourself in mediocrity. This shade isn’t reassuring; it’s depressing. It’s the color of regret, stagnation, and bad decisions. Where past Colors of the Year like “Viva Magenta” and “Classic Blue” offered vibrancy and optimism, “Mocha Mousse” feels like the design equivalent of giving...

The  Family Guy  matriarch recently revealed a jaw-dropping secret: she’s unsure whether King Charles III or Russian President Vladimir Putin is the father of her unborn child.

RUMOR: Is Lana Del Rey Secretly a Lobster?

Image
By Frederick Prentiss Entertainment Correspondent DECEMBER 4, 2024 — HOLLYWOOD, CA The internet is abuzz with a bizarre new rumor: is Lana Del Rey secretly a lobster? The speculation started after the singer was recently spotted on a yacht off the coast of Malibu, where eagle-eyed fans noticed something unusual—large lobster claws in place of her arms. The photo, which quickly went viral, shows the “Summertime Sadness” star standing confidently on deck, her usual delicate arms replaced by the unmistakable pincers of a lobster. The image has raised eyebrows, leading some to question if Lana’s transformation into an aquatic creature is part of a new artistic project—or something even stranger. As a lifelong fan of Lana Del Rey, I have to admit that I’ve been completely captivated by her enigmatic artistry and haunting music. But the idea of her as a lobster? Well, that’s where I draw the line. Lobsters, quite frankly, are the worst—creepy, clawed creatures of the sea that I can’...
