Benson Boone Is Still Rocking That ‘Extremely Restricting’ Blue Jumpsuit: ‘It Hurts’

After being called out for aggressively adjusting himself at last weekend's Grammy Awards, Boone said he's gonna keep the outfit on, even though it's not comfy.

Benson Boone is more than willing to suffer for his art. The “Beautiful Things” singer who takes a huge risk every time he pulls off one of his patented backflips on stage also has a daring sartorial style. He showed it off once again at last weekend’s 67th Grammy Awards, when he took to the stage in one of his signature, skin-tight glittering outfits.

By now you may have seen pictures of just how constricting that powder blue number was because after the broadcast the 22-year-old singer apologized for “adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively” after the cameras caught him grabbing his crotch with zeal. “That thing was extremely restricting in certain areas,” he explained afterwards.

On Wednesday (Feb. 5), Boone leaned into the awkward, posting a video in which she’s chilling out on a giant sectional couch — still wearing the jumpsuit — with the caption “when it hurts but you still like it,” along with a shrugging emoji. In the 30-second clip, Boone does some more vigorous adjusting while grabbing a can of whipped cream from the fridge and rips through the mountains on a motorcycle to the tune of his song “I Wanna Be the One You Call.”

The bit ends with Boone in bed on his laptop, with the sheets covering his problem area.

Boone was nominated for best new artist at the Grammys, where he was up against winner Chappell Roan, as well as Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, RAYE, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
