I met Liam and Miley once. They came into the bookstore I worked at last year as she has a home here. He was so kind and, well, normal. Just chatted like a normal customer while I was secretly melting into the floor. Miley, on the other hand, was super standoffish and refused to talk to any of the people working in…

I genuinely love your writing, Michael, and agree with you on most points but nobody who sounds like a mannish teenager arguing with his mother can ever be considered the GOAT! Anybody who allows others to put him on a pedestal approximating God gets no adoration from me. No one who brags about having the finest…

I hope that, as you “move forward,” you are comforted by the jingling sound of the 30 pieces of silver inside the cupholder of your Maybach.

I thought it might be a typo of “dungeon” at first too, and I was about to point it out to the OP, but then I googled just in case it was an actual word, and lo and behold, an actual word. Glad I didn’t go off!

It’s always amusing to watch the bloggers of Gawker Media Group stomping around in a high dudgeon when a journalist doesn’t live up to their standards. This guy should have offered $10,000 for unretouched pics of Epstein's junk.

This had to be a game to Epstein. He found the single dumbest journalist in the country, and dangled the carrot in front of a horse too stupid to eat it. It’s like a serial killer confiding in a coma patient

I’m sorry for any victim of sexual abuse, and Kloss has my sympathies. This is a credible story of abuse. His rhetoric skews a little MRA-lite though and that’s troubling—I wish he were using his story to encourage more male victims of sexual abuse to come forward instead of saying “Look! Males aren’t the problem!”…

Bette Davis knew about “Miss Dunaway” for years.

 OK. I was talking to Mrs. Gamer about this. If you don’t want to be looked at as a serial rapist and a pedophile, maybe don’t act like one? I am a male, 47 and a former middle school teacher. I have never even LOOKED sideways at one of my female students, much less slept with them, and had it caught on video. It is…

“Nobody said anything good, they [were] describing Lucifer.”

“Their friendship is over unless Meghan apologizes,” said one source. “Priyanka is a huge international star with a tremendous social media following. She is probably more famous worldwide than Meghan is. She feels Meghan didn’t respect her, and didn’t respect their friendship.”

“Shallow” is a terrible song. That performance was like watching two very constipated people bond over their desperate inability to poop.

Its a good way to jinx the relationship.

In order to make myself feel better about my body, I just repeatedly tell myself that my body would have been the archetype of feminine beauty during the Renaissance.

I hadn’t heard the song until I read this. Then I played the embedded video (which is visually cute and summery); the failure of this song to click, however, was immediately apparent: it’s a noisy, overproduced mess. And while that is precisely in keeping with what fills the charts right now, it’s neither what Janet…

This whole story has me deeply rethinking events of my young life. Male here. When I was young I was living with my mother, divorced parents, and she was terrible at managing child support, and addicted to drugs. There was a string of dealer boyfriends and skid row apartments with no electricity and having to sleep in…

I’m glad Rebecca’s given up her quest to be the Dollar Tree Caity Weaver, but it looks like she wants to be Rich “whatever it takes for clicks” Juzwiak instead. Girl, at least Rich has a voice and agree or not with him he’s consistent.

Starred for the stellar use of the word -turgid-!!

syphilis was a big issue back then, especially among the elite, though they would always try to hide it.

I now have this stuck in my head:
