EVERY WEEKDAY, Trent Reznor makes his way from his house, a cottagey sprawl behind a white wall in a canyon on Los Angeles's Westside, to a studio he's built in his backyard. There he meets his best friend, bandmate, and business partner, Atticus Ross, and they get to work. Reznor and Ross observe the same hours, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. "We show up," Reznor told me. "We're not late. We're not coming in to start to fuck around." It's a methodical, orderly existence that Reznor could not have foreseen in the '90s, when he was fronting Nine Inch Nails and struggling with a drug-and-alcohol problem that was his answer to success. "I would do anything to avoid writing a song," Reznor said. "I'd rewire the studio 50 times."
Now Reznor has a wife, Mariqueen Maandig, five kids, and multiple jobs. He is sober. Since 2010, when the director David Fincher asked Reznor and Ross to score The Social Network, for which Reznor and Ross won an Oscar, the two men have had steady employment composing for film. This year, Reznor and Ross are also starting a yet-to-benamed company, built around storytelling in multiple disciplines: film production, fashion, a music festival, and a venture with Epic Games.

Why Does Everyone Have Big, Fake White Teeth Now? - Veneers were once a dirty secret. Now they're the new luxury status symbol, and the famous and wealthy are flocking to Hollywood's favorite dentist in search of ever more perfect teeth.
Early one afternoon in August, at his office on the ninth floor of the Camden Medical Arts building in Beverly Hills, Dr. Kevin Sands slipped on a black surgical mask and latex gloves before peering into the mouth of a sleeping princess. Instead of standard medical scrubs, he wore black Amiri slacks, a matching James Perse T-shirt, and Nike sneakers designed by Travis Scott. On his left wrist was a Patek Philippe Aquanaut with a khaki green dial and matching strap. The watch cost just over $50,000, which is about a third of what her royal highness was paying to have 28 perfect-looking cosmetically enhanced teeth restored with a new set of handmade porcelain crowns and veneers.
'90s-Inspired Sneakers Have Never Looked This Fresh - The 1990s, a golden era for fashion and sport, left an indelible mark on global culture. It was a decade of high-flying slam dunks and superstar athletes with runway-worthy personal style.
The 1990s, a golden era for fashion and sport, left an indelible mark on global culture. It was a decade of high-flying slam dunks and superstar athletes with runway-worthy personal style. The sport-style sneaker, once confined to the court, made its way to the streets, becoming a style staple of everyday life.
