At about 3 weeks pregnant (I always knew very early), I had horrendous abdominal pain. I couldn’t even stand. I was in bed, sweating, and couldn’t move. When I was sent to a (Catholic) hospital, the nurse who did my intake asked me basic questions: name, age, previous pregnancies, religion... when I mentioned I’m…

Madonna is very confused about the demographics of her fans if She thinks they want to wait until 10:30 for the show to start. 

I had a nightmare last night that I accidentally bought an album that R. Kelly collaborated on (it was a completely imagined Adele album that he had a heavy hand in), and only learned of his involvement after the purchase was made. I was so upset with myself for not researching the album before purchase and…

But Goldblum insisted on persevering. “Even though I feel like this cultural shift [the #MeToo movement] is very, very positive and long overdue and I support it wholeheartedly and take it very seriously, I also admire his body of work. So I would consider working with him again, until I learned something more.”

I am sorry to report the “No Gardner Flint Minshew I” story was poor reporting/communication error. His Father is in fact named “Gardner Flint Minshew,” but goes by “Flint.” Here is an interview with his father. 

You know, i remembered after I published that he is an accused rapist, but would love to state for the record that nothing about Roethlisberger is hot. Just Minshy. Thank you. 

I just really wish there were a blog that would cover the nexus of sports, politics, and culture, though. 

He’s Ryan Lochte for Gen Z

I just did a quick google search for this guy. Couple things:

This alone is all anyone needs to know. Awesome! It’s a fuckin’ movie script just waiting to be written.

Jezspin forever! But the mention of accused rapist Roethlisberger in a hot dirtbag article, without mentioning he’s an accused rapist? Pass on that.

All I have to say is that sometimes I scan Jez and don’t feel compelled to click through to read the whole article, but when the byline is Joan Summers I always do because you’re incisive and witty and love/disdain many of the same things I do. I’ll miss Midweek Madness but I will read anything you write (although I…

since the source I’d usually consult for these facts has passed away...

Is Megan the Jezebel sports reporter now? Because I’d be pretty good with that.

“His grandfather wanted him to be named Beowulf. His parents instead chose Gardner Flint Minshew II, even though there is no Gardner Flint Minshew I.” Talk about burying the lede. I want more on this topic.

“Industry sized” should also have a hyphen - should we chastise you for missing that?

I strongly believe you to be both 1. a sweetheart and b. a bloody marvel, Joan Summers. Do what you want.

You’re an incredible talent, I am looking forward to whatever the hell is next. Though I’ll miss my weekly dose of tabloid nonsense.

Can we get rid of the shity practice of posting a woman’s age right after her name like it is some fuckable expectation date ? I can think of about 900 better things to describe Reba than how old she is.

I’ve seen the meme you’re referring to, but that isn’t true. Spinning was a low status job with poor pay, married women were more likely to have better jobs. So, like, if you want to celebrate that unmarried women were able to find employment and not have to live at the mercy of a husband, that’s great, but it is…
