When you dig down through the US weekly links, you find this gem:

Nowadays, hosting any award show bound to get a lot of coverage (Oscars, Golden Globes, probably the Grammies and Emmies as well) seems like potentially more trouble than its worth for celebrities with the star power to be considered for the gigs in the first place.

What does “only prioritizes licensing opportunitie” mean exactly? Is this about expediting licensure (i.e., if you’re from a disproportionately adversely affected neighborhood, your application will be expedited), or that only people from those particularly ill effected neighborhoods would be licenses at all?

To the extent that one believes this apology is not good, or too little too late, what’s the appropriate proportional response? Does MuteRKelly now extend to Lady Gaga?

Until I was much older and really examined the the Aaliyah situation (I was too young to be a fan of anything not immediately handed to me by my parents when she was really on fire), I off-handedly always took that song and album title as a sort of “you’re only as old as you feel”. As soon as I had even a shred of an…

Is the distinction here that while he’s been accused by 18 women of some kind of at least untoward conduct of a sexual nature, only three have accused him of criminally actionable rape or sexual assault?

This looks absolutely amazing—10/10 will watch.

“get an education, hire a manager with professional experience, file trademarks on her intellectual property, and ensure that money is set aside for her future.”

The problem with this list is that even though Time’s Up is in a position to substantially write the rules of the road for ‘coming back’ or otherwise dictate what hoops must be jumped through, there’s little or no incentive for people to comply by the above.

Saw Green Book in theaters based almost entirely on my love of Ali’s and Mortensen’s work—and I was not disappointed. Not only were their individual performances wonderful, I thought they had great chemistry on screen.

I think there’s probably a funny word play joke to made involving the fact that one of the most famous (and reviled by racist asshats) groups of organizers and defenders of black communities share a name with a black superhero whose movie has become iconic in American cinema, and more particularly, black culture.

Let’s say your suspicions are correct and it’s all fake—the jewelry and clothes are knock-offs; the filming locations are decent blue screen work combined with careful studio construction—the Eiffel tower in the background of shots is a cheap gift ship replica against a painted canvas.

There are a lot of porn stars who don’t have millions of followers on social media--clearly that means that some of these folks are better than others at self-promoting.

This all becomes about 100 times more interesting if you read this article and the recent Jez article on Bree Mills, as companion pieces (particularly given the allegations surrounding Bree Mills now).

Sure, but not being able to get a boner in the first place is a far cry from not being able to get RID of a boner.

The very general and loose consensus in the comments seems to be that older men who want to date younger women are creepy, sad, or otherwise undesirable. I know there’s more nuance to it than that (for instance there’s clearly different ideas as to what age gap is too much—one person basically said the gulf between 25…

Oh man, she better main that black female character whenever it comes out!

Is it weird that I think it would have been more understandable and justifiable for her to kill the guy in his sleep rather than mutilate him?

The man sounds like a fucking serial killer.
