Here’s a Breakdown of Every Celeb Featured in Lil Dicky’s ‘Earth’ Video

Comedian and rapper Lil Dicky released a new star-studded music video at midnight ET on Friday, April 19, as part of an effort to draw attention to climate change ahead of Earth Day on April 22. The animated video, which clocks in at around seven minutes long, features several of Lil Dicky’s famous friends, including Justin Bieber (as a baboon), Ariana Grande (as a zebra), Shawn Mendes (as a rhino), Leonardo DiCaprio (as a cartoon version of himself), and literally dozens of others.

The video begins with a news report covering the extreme heat and wildfires that have ravaged California in recent months. As the camera zooms out from the TV, we see trucks leaving trails of exhaust on streets littered with trash. Nearby, some kids knock over a garbage can, spilling even more waste onto the sidewalk.

That’s when Lil Dicky walks up. He and the kids exchange some (literal) trash talk, and then he leaves, telling them to pick up the garbage. One of the kids stays behind and begins to clean up the mess, at which point he finds a mysterious book with a picture of Earth on its cover. When he opens it, a live bird flies out — and then an entire world springs up between the pages.

As an animated Lil Dicky rides a giant bird through the air, we’re swept into the stunning, lush scenery, where we meet a baboon singing with Justin Bieber’s voice. “Hi! I’m a baboon,” he tells us. “I’m like a man, just less advanced and my anus is huge.” (Yes, you read that right.)

From there, we see several other animals and living things, each with the voice of a major celeb. There’s Grande as a zebra, Halsey as a lion cub, Zac Brown as a cow, Brendon Urie as a pig, Hailee Steinfeld as a mushroom, Wiz Khalifa as a skunk, Snoop Dogg as a weed plant, and Kevin Hart as… Kanye West.

“We love the earth, it is our planet,” the song continues. “We love the earth, it is our home.”

If you listen closely, you’ll also hear Adam Levine (as a vulture), Shawn Mendes (as a rhino), Charlie Puth (as a giraffe), Sia (as a kangaroo), Miley Cyrus (as an elephant), Lil Jon (as a clam), Rita Ora (as a wolf), Miguel (as a squirrel), Katy Perry (as a pony), Lil Yachty (as HPV), Ed Sheeran (as a koala), Meghan Trainor (singing “We love you, India”), Joel Embiid (“We love you, Africa”), Tory Lanez (“We love you, China”), the Backstreet Boys (singing the credits), and John Legend, Bad Bunny, PSY, and Kris Wu (singing the refrain).

While the video is quirky and includes some NSFW language, the message is serious, as Lil Dicky explains near the end. “Come on, everybody, I know we’re not all the same, but we’re living on the same earth,” he says. “I mean, there’s so many people out there who don’t think global warming’s a real thing, you know? We gotta save this planet! We’re being stupid.”

He then introduces an animated version of DiCaprio, who stands on the bow of the Titanic with the earth in his hands. “Guys, everybody look into whatever the f–k Leonardo DiCaprio is always pushing,” Lil Dicky continues. “‘Cause I feel like that guy knows more about the earth and how we’re f–kin’ it up than anybody. Like if aliens did come, we should definitely send Leo as our guy, our rep.”

After the video was released, DiCaprio tweeted about the good it will hopefully do. “Net profits from the song, video, and merchandise will go to many @dicapriofdn partners on the frontlines of implementing solutions to climate change,” he wrote. “#WeLoveTheEarth”

We've all been keeping up with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce throughout the Kansas City Chiefs season, the Eras Tour, and all their adorable vacations. Not to mention I have been LIVING for the songs Taylor wrote about Travis for The Tortured Poets Department. Thanks to the album (and concert ad libs like the iconic "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me"), we've heard from Taylor quite a bit, and this weekend, we got a little bit of insight into Travis' thoughts too!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce showed up at the 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic on April 27 in Las Vegas, and there was plenty of PDA to boot. The 15 and Mahomies Foundation provides resources to in-need children and communities, and in a move that surprised everyone, Travis ended up getting on stage and announced an additional item up for auction: Eras Tour tickets!

“Alright, alright, alright, I think I was just talking to my significant other, and we might have one other alternate item that wasn’t on the docket," he says (via Page Six). "Um, has anybody heard of the Eras Tour?” Needless to say, the crowd was very excited.

The evening also had some fun moments like Patrick throwing a ball offstage to Travis, and spending the early hours of the morning at the Wynn’s XS nightclub. My personal favorite detail from the evening is Taylor's green Maria Lucia Hohan dress. The ethereal, metallic shimmer simultaneously reminds me of elves and mermaids, but most importantly, it's giving both Reputation (TV) and Taylor Swift (TV). I can't wait to see what she wears in honor of those two rerecordings!

Which is why when we first brought the kids by the property they dubbed it the Park House," he says in the essay. "And you know what happens when you name something, whether it’s a mangy stray dog or a beautiful home of your dreams? You keep it."

May 2024: How to End a Love Story

How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

Trigger warning: This book mentions suicide and grief.
Helen Zhang and Grant Shepard are bound by an event that changed their lives forever. Before you ask, it's not a steamy one night stand where one of them ghosted the other.
Their paths actually crossed because of a pivotal accident that neither of them saw coming and it caused Helen to view Grant as her worst enemy for years. However, time passed and they moved on to separately create lucrative careers. What they couldn't have expected was for their paths to cross, especially not at work.
Given the amazing opportunity to be a writer for the TV adaption of her own successful YA books, Helen anxiously travels to LA to accept the position and hit the reset button on her life. She has a brief moment of euphoria until she realizes that Grant will also be in the writer's room.
Now they'll have to confront their complicated feelings for each other in order not to derail their jobs and lives. They know it's impossible for them to have a true love story, but sometimes the messiness of life is all it takes for two people to find common ground and decide how they want their stories to end.

Redwood Court reads like a historical love letter to Black families and contains relationships that remind me of my own family.

Growing up on the Outer Banks means I've gone through my fair share of swimsuits. All it takes is one summer of surfing wipeouts, sun bathing, swimming, and hitting up the shops (because you really do everything in a bathing suit on the OBX) to know exactly which bathing suit brands are worth buying — and which are cheap enough to avoid forever. I took to social media to ask real Outer Banks locals which bathing suit brands they can't get enough of. Keep reading for all the details!

Target

Image via Target

I know y'all love Target just as much as I do — and along with their home decor, cute shoes, and comfy clothes, their bathing suit options are some of my friends' favorites. Target's got a ton of diverse and affordable swimwear options that is full of different styles, sizes, and prices. That means there's something for everyone! I'm obsessed with this Underwire Bralette Bikini Top and High Waist High Leg Extra Cheeky Bikini Bottom.

Aerie

Image via Aerie

Aerie is perfect for Outer Banks fans because it's one of the most-used bathing suit brands on the show! This store balances style with comfort and casual, and TBH half the swimsuits are cute enough to be tank tops. Their bathing suits will make you feel confident and add a pop of color to your summer wardrobe! This Smiley® String Triangle Bikini Top and Cheekiest Tie Bikini Bottom are a great place to start ;).

​Old Navy

Old Navy is a great place to shop for affordable basics, and that definitely extends to swimsuit season. Their bathing suits come in a range sizes, and they're durable, classic, and super affordable (a lot of them are under $20!). They also have just enough Americana edge to live out your '00s rom-com dreams. I can't stop looking at the Zip-Front Bikini Swim Top and High-Waisted Bikini Swim Bottoms.

Body Glove

Image via Body Glove

Body Glove is one bathing suit brand that's just as functional as it is stylish, and it's also equal parts feminine and sporty for any gal who's always on the go. The Free Flow Eli One-Piece Swimsuitis one of my favorite suits because it's so colorful and it's also supportive, which you absolutely need when taking part in a treasure hunt.

AlySwim

Image via AlySwim

If you're looking for the true Outer Banks experience, then you should grab a suit made by someone who grew up there! AlySwim is totally customizable, and a lot of the suits are reversible so you get two looks for the price of one. With trendy patterns and vibrant colors, bathing suits like the Blue Hawaiian Eva Top and Bottoms will make a bold statement.

The bathing suits from Rey Swimwear are as classy as they come, and it feels like there are endless options for colors, patterns, and silhouettes. There are also options for longer torsos, which is such a blessing for us #TallGirls. Sarah Cameron would be all over this Marie bathing suit!

Maaji is the thing of our '90s dreams, and each bathing suit will make you feel the summer magic we crave all year long. I love the Hot Magenta Adhara V Wire Bralette Bikini Top and Sublimity Regular Rise Classic Bikini Bottoms!

Left on Friday is for the minimalists. But just because the swimsuits are simple and elegant doesn't mean they're boring — and the asymmetrical silhouette on the Shoreline Suit proves it.

Kenny Flowers immediately reminds me of Palm Royale every time I look on their site because of the old school vibe and bright colors. I NEED the Acapulco Underwire Bikini Top and High Waist Bikini Bottom!!

Lime Ricki is the place to go if you're looking for modest swimsuits that will also turn heads all summer long. The bold prints and bright colors are both nostalgic and playful, and it's also a really accessible brand. Celebrate your individuality in a suit like the Shell Stripe Ruffle-Strap One Piece.

Korni Jeane lets you mix and match different vibes to create a bathing suit that's unique to you and your personal aesthetic. I'm confident Kiara would love this Bandeau Top and All Ruffled Up Bottoms.
