I always liked Ariana Grande (and when I say “always,” I mean, like, for the better part of the last decade), but I am liking her more every day. It was always just a matter of time before people saw past her exterior and realized how great she is.

WHY

“What does her daughter’s style choices have to do with feminism?”

Yeah, but it’s really not all that subversive on the red carpet for a fashion award show. And, I mean, her mom is Madonna, so this is probably downright boring by the standards she’s been taught.

Their ice cream must not be stolen.

The manager was “harsh”? He went after Jackson’s most potent demons so unflinchingly, it was like the guy was actually trying to make him kill himself. I, too, am wary of implying that any one person has the power to do immediately drive another to suicide, but this manager sleaze went in there and practically read…

Oh, no, not this guy – the guy who proposed to his girlfriend after she won a silver medal IN THE FREAKING OLYMPICS.

Kanye has always been a total diva, but that band-aid thing strikes me as an understandable thing to be upset about. Maybe it shouldn’t be on Kim to do all the shopping for household necessities, but the way she said he “didn’t like the color” of the band-aid struck me as incredibly dismissive. She doesn’t seem to…

There are a few companies out there offering darker band-aids (lowercase, ofc), but it’s still really obnoxious that they’re treated as a niche offering, something you have to seek out online or in the few stores that bother to offer them, and of course they’re not going to be of the same quality as the ones backed by…

Well, sure, but that’s because a tap dancer’s feet are supposed to be the focal point, while a ballet dancer’s feet are pointed to smooth out the continuous body lines. Jazz shoes generally look like a soft version of tap shoes, but that’s because both types are meant to resemble traditional (men’s) dress shoes.…

“The story of her marathon will now be the story of his proposal.”

Yeah, yeah, what else is new? I think it’s good just to have people – including celebrities with access to more people than the rest of us – reminding each other as much as possible, and it also contributes to general enthusiasm about voting.

Well, a body that moves. You only need a body that moves to dance, whether or not that body includes feet. ;)

I hate to promote a DJTJ tweet, but if you’re wondering what this ad actually says in full, it seems that news outlets aren’t interested in providing a copy.

As someone with no LARPing experience whatsoever, my instinctive response is to say that if you didn’t think LARP was sexy until now, you haven’t been doing it right.

“Amy and I are raising an 11-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 7-year-old. And we spent the better part of the last two years not with each other, missing birthdays and anniversaries and time together. Our family could not survive more of that.”

Usually when I find myself wishing I could give a Jezzie a hug, it’s because they sound lonely and miserable, but the reason I wish I could give you hug right now is that you sound like an awesome person who is doing great things just by going about your life and your job while being true to yourself. I don’t envy the…

Hmm, I suppose my instinct would be to pair her with someone a bit closer to her own age (48; TT is 35), but I suppose they’re still well within the bounds of the half-plus-seven rule. Come to think of it, while I’m sick and tired of constantly seeing old dudes in movies paired with young women, it really wouldn’t…
