Meatless Meatballs Are the Star of Subway's New Plant-Based Sub, and They Look So Real
Subway has officially amped up its vegan and vegetarian options with the addition of a new Beyond Meatball Marinara Sub, and it looks SO real! As someone who's dabbled in the world of plant-based food, I know how difficult it can be to find a decent meat-free (and gluten-free) protein to substitute in sandwiches and burgers. Subway's Beyond Meat meatballs are meant to look and taste like the real thing, and I'm thoroughly convinced so far.
Inspired by Subway's classic meatball sub and made in collaboration with Beyond Meat, the sandwich is topped with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese, so it's totally vegetarian. Order it minus the cheese and it's vegan, too! The "meat" itself is made from a mixture of peas, mung beans, and rice (plus some beet juice for color).
Even sans meat, a six-inch Beyond Marinara Meatball Sub is packed with 24 grams of protein, while the sandwich chain's meat-based version of the sub only has 20 grams of protein, so the new version is a healthier and more filling alternative.
Beyond Meatball Marinara Subs will be available at 685 participating Subway restaurants in Canada and the US beginning this September, and they'll only be on the menu for a limited time. So try one while you can, and maybe grab a Subway Halo Top Milkshake while you're there.

Exclusive: Jillian Bell Learns the Cost of Fitness in This Scene From Brittany Runs a Marathon
Award-winning playwright Paul Downs Colaizzo will make his directorial debut with the Jillian Bell-led comedy Brittany Runs a Marathon. If you have already seen the trailer and are suitably intrigued by the uplifting premise, we have an incredibly relatable exclusive clip that will have you even more excited for the film's release.
Based on a true story, the film follows Bell as New Yorker Brittany Forgler, a party girl who's hilarious and outgoing but decidedly not healthy. When her doctor challenges her to lose 55 pounds, she initially balks at the idea but, with the help of her neighbor (Casual's Michaela Watkins), finds herself falling in love with running. Her newfound appreciation for the sport leads her to the point where she makes a goal of racing in the New York City Marathon. (Which is, like, hard.)
In the clip above, we see Brittany's attempt at joining a local gym to get her fitness on. It all seems to be going smoothly until she learns the cost of the gym's most basic monthly membership: a not-so-basic $129. Watch Brittany's very understandable reaction to the news ahead, and check out Brittany Runs a Marathon when it sprints into theaters on Aug. 23.

Why Bebe Rexha's Female-Forward Music Initiatives Should Have the Patriarchy Quaking
Image Source: Getty / Rich Fury
When it comes to advocating for gender equality in the music industry, Bebe Rexha is one of the kingpins for change. Not because others are just starting to speak more openly about representation in media, but because it's right, and it matters. Whether she's calling out predatory music producers or championing the celebration of female expression in songs, the 29-year-old "Last Hurrah" singer just wants all artists to have a fair shot at making it big - and if that means taking a bat to the patriarchy, then so be it.
One of the ways Rexha is making efforts for the cause is by teaming up with Bumble for its Empowered by Bumble Bizz program. The initiative will connect her, Kacey Musgraves, and Hayley Kiyoko each with an up-and-coming female artist who will then get to perform at a music festival in 2020. This holds meaningful value, as women continue to be underrepresented in the festival scene; in 2018, Pitchfork reported that women make up only 19 percent of the average lineup. Rexha is hoping to push for progress by encouraging her mentee, whom she'll choose from a pool of submissions.
"It's fun to work with new creatives because I remember all the people who have given me chances," Rexha told POPSUGAR over the phone on July 31. "Those people inspire you and give you the push to believe in yourself, which is the most important thing."
More than anything, Rexha wants to motivate her mentee to keep working toward her dreams, no matter what. "It's not going to be an easy journey, but it's not about being the most talented," she said. "It's about being the most persistent, the most driven, and being able to bounce back. You have to be resilient."
Rexha's partnership with Bumble should hardly come as a surprise, considering her previous endeavors to promote equality. In 2018, she started a pre-Grammys Women in Harmony luncheon for female artists to gather in unity and talk about their experiences in the industry. The idea came to her while she was in the studio with another female creative and felt power in their combined energy.
Image Source: Getty / Theo Wargo
The first brunch she hosted at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood brought out around 40 attendees, including Charli XCX, JoJo, Sevyn Streeter, and Avril Lavigne. At the second annual get-together held at LA's Sunset Tower Hotel in February 2019, there were around 100 guests, including Brandi Carlile, Ashlee Simpson, Madison Beer, Nicole Scherzinger, and Sabrina Carpenter.
"There's an unspoken thing - a sense of competitiveness - that women have in the industry because there are more men in the business," Rexha said. "But if we stick together, we can create more room at the table, collaborate, and have more success together. It's invigorating." She is already planning next year's event and has a few artists in mind who she's hoping will perform (but that's top-secret information for now).
"Women are becoming more empowered, standing up for what they believe in, and supporting each other."
With continued support and a sedulous spirit, Rexha wants to restructure the foundation of music media to be more inclusive and less disparaging for women. "There's a stigma against women that they're very emotional; they're divas. And guys are bosses. But when girls are bosses, they're 'b*tches,'" she said. "Those stereotypes need to be broken." Thankfully, she sees the tides starting to turn. "Women are becoming more empowered, standing up for what they believe in, and supporting each other," she added. "You definitely feel it - not only in the music business, [but] overall."
And according to Rexha, gender equality goes beyond what you see on the surface. Representation among people working behind the scenes is just as important. "I'd love to see more female executives who are presidents of record labels, more women starting record labels, more female producers and engineers, and more women in positions of power," she said. "That's why I really want to start my own label and publishing company to help newer artists and songwriters. And that will happen at the right time."

Aw! Princess Eugenie Gave Away Princess Beatrice's Nickname in a Supersweet Birthday Post
Princess Charlotte might be known as "Lottie" around friends and family, but she's not the only royal with a cute nickname. Princess Eugenie, aka "Euge," wished her sister Princess Beatrice a happy 31st birthday in a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday. Like any close sisters, she referred to Beatrice by her family nickname, which she revealed is "Beabea." So sweet!
"You have been bossing it since before I was born and continue to be the most wonderful person, friend, and big sister," Eugenie captioned the series of adorable throwback photos. "Happy Birthday to you Beabea!!" Even Queen Elizabeth herself goes by a few unexpected nicknames, so I wouldn't be surprised if Prince Harry and Prince William revealed their nicknames for each other next. Until then, happy (belated) birthday Princess Beabea!

Princess Charlotte might be known as "Lottie" around friends and family, but she's not the only royal with a cute nickname. Princess Eugenie, aka "Euge," wished her sister Princess Beatrice a happy 31st birthday in a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday. Like any close sisters, she referred to Beatrice by her family nickname, which she revealed is "Beabea." So sweet!
"You have been bossing it since before I was born and continue to be the most wonderful person, friend, and big sister," Eugenie captioned the series of adorable throwback photos. "Happy Birthday to you Beabea!!" Even Queen Elizabeth herself goes by a few unexpected nicknames, so I wouldn't be surprised if Prince Harry and Prince William revealed their nicknames for each other next. Until then, happy (belated) birthday Princess Beabea!
