Manila’s own  doll dominatrix and esoteric drag queen superstar, M1ss Jade So opens an enchantingly bass-powered portal with the new single “GODDESSA”, produced by Naive Supreme—out August 7, 2026, under Offshore Music. 

Released with an intent to unlock the highest form of self-love and inner transformation, M1ss Jade So reveals in a social media post to fans and followers how “GODDESSA”  came to be, sharing how the lyrics were inspired by affirmations she has chanted for herself and then how these words transfigured into declarations, which ultimately inspired her to create the song. “This song existed inside me long before people got to hear it,” she notes. “Releasing it feels like finally opening a portal I have been building for years.”

Anne Hathaway wants her suburban mom character Denise Platt to be a surprise.

While crafting the look for her character Denise Platt, an early ’80s wife and mom living in the suburbs in “The End of Oak Street,” Hathaway was inspired by Dorothy’s iconic look in “The Wizard of Oz.” “I thought about the time in history when Denise would have gotten married, and what the world around her would have been like, how things would have changed, so I wanted her to be someone who felt a little bit like a doll, who may have felt like a little girl who hadn’t quite grown up all the way,” shares Hathaway. “And the more I read the script, I kind of kept coming back to this reference point of Dorothy from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and I was speaking to Erin Benach, our costume designer, and I said, ‘Do you think you could please put me in a lot of blue before the dinosaurs come? Because I feel like that’s Dorothy in her gingham dress.’
