Among the perks listed: “You report to no one, you are the CEO (duh).” FASHION FORWARD To chart the future of fashion, it helps to look at the recent past. This summer, the Seattle Art Museum will host “Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion” (June 27–Sept. 8). More than 100 garments, some never before seen in the U.S., will be on display, including this bushy creation, a sort of wearable haystack, by Hokuto Katsui and Nao Yagi. TRENDING Miss Utah Marissa Powell, 21, will live on in Internet infamy after botching her reply to a question at the Miss USA pageant about unequal pay for women, telling judges that the U.S. needs to “create education better” QUICK TALK Mireille Enos She investigates monsters of the human variety as Sarah Linden on The Killing, which returned on June 2 for its third season on AMC. But now Enos has to deal with a different kind of bad guy. In World War Z (June 21), the actress, 37, comes up against a major zombie problem. Here, she talks with Time. –LILY ROTHMAN Are you a big zombie-movie fan? This is my first-ever zombie movie, even to see. Ever? I’ve never seen a zombie movie before. Did that mean you had to do a lot of research for the part? No. Pretty much they’re scary dudes in crazy makeup chasing me, so I just run. My character doesn’t know what they are either. I had this whole question for you about zombies walking vs. running. I know that we have the fastest-moving zombies. Most zombies are logy, right? They’re slow and dumb? Not ours. It’s a controversial topic among zombie fans–how fast they move. We do give an explanation for why they’re fast and when they slow down. Are you generally not a horror-movie fan? I’m a fan of action movies. I try to avoid the supergory stuff. But I guess it’s not scary during filming. You do have, like, 30 people around you. But there are still moments. Are you easily scared? Very easily. And it sticks with me. I can’t shake it, and I think about it for days. And yet, between World War Z and The Killing, that’s a lot of suspense … It’s true. They’re really dark stories. Have you developed any tricks for dealing with fear? It definitely has gotten easier since having a baby, because I just go straight into her world–Monsters Inc. and Cars. That helps.

In Warthog, above, the only detail missing is a piercing gaze–for obvious reasons. MUSIC Album-Title Ego Meter Jay Z’s latest album–Magna Carta Holy Grail, dropping July 4–has been widely mocked for its pompous moniker. (“A better title would be ‘Ego Instead of Songs,'” quipped one Twitter user.) But he’s hardly the first musical ego-ffender. Here, we rank six more over-the-top titles. Ego MARIAH CAREY Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel 2009 RIHANNA Unapologetic 2009 BEYONCÉ Above and Beyoncé 2009 BRAD PAISLEY This Is Country Music 2011 RICK ROSS God Forgives, I Don’t 2012 KANYE WEST Yeezus 2013 KICKIN’ IT A Simpson With Sole Converse, shoe of the counterculture, has a fitting new poster child: Bart Simpson. The rebellious ‘toon boy and members of his family appear on a line of Chuck Taylors. Bart, Homer and Lisa have big shoes to fill: previous lines starred Batman and the Ramones. Ay, caramba! 3 THINGS YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS WEEK 1\. Dynastic succession. Roll out the red karpet and welcome the new baby daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. 2\. The truth behind that whole super thing. The Superman update Man of Steel had the biggest June opening weekend ever, raking in over $125 million (counting Thursday-night screenings). 3\. The continued relevance of Myspace. The decade-old social-media site–now partly owned by Justin Timberlake–relaunched with a music-focused design.
