I can, but in your scenario, the judgement would be that the man is a borderline pedophile skeeze and the 24-year-old woman is being taken advantage of even though she’s an adult capable of making her own decisions about who she dates and consents to have sex with. Duh!

I just found out Yellowstone existed this year. There are 5 seasons and 3 spin-offs with another in the works? There is too much TV being created.

This pre-frontal cortex argument is another argument that needs to go away. It’s so laden with problems that I’m surprised that the person who wrote this article — a person who is presumably over the age of 25— doesn’t understand the nuance of its danger and its absurdity.

Jesus. Can anyone imagine Jezebel publishing an article about a 51 year old man dating a 24 year old woman and asking how the man is able to tolerate the young woman and speculating about her sexual prowess? 

So is it the genders that make things different or maybe that the younger person is the famous one? Just trying to get a handle on why this is fine but other age gaps among celebrity relationships are basically crimes or at least game for mockery. Because if anyone is being mocked here it seems like it's Shawn Mendes.

First step: stop essentializing adult behavior based on age. If you have ever worked with the public, it quickly becomes clear how little “grown ass woman” or “grown ass man” means anything.

...and then scored 60 points in a WNBA game.

In those awful white boots and that denim atrocity, no wonder she was denied entry.  

Everybody loves ATCQ because they’re dope.

If he ends up dating his super hot yoga instructor are you guys going to fawn over it like you did hospital ex and her jiu-jitsu instructor, or is it going to he A Serious Example Of The Abuse Of Power Dynamics In Our Society?

Okay, okay, hear me out. Did Tom retire, realize his marriage sucked, decided against doing anything about it, sign back up for football to avoid marriage, get dumped, and then decide to actually retire? I mean some people just don’t want to deal, so maybe?

I’m impressed with the AV Club staff’s ability to squeeze like four articles and a slideshow from one news item. Truly, you use all parts of the pop cultural buffalo.

Michael B. Jordan is to acting what a great athlete is to sports. But, I just can’t think of one to compare him to.

Can we stop with the old “good host / bad writing” saw? Jordan was fine. He was game, but he wasn’t great. That’s about all you want from a host, but to say he stabilized or anchored anything is not a useful or accurate piece of criticism.

The word fan comes from fanatic, so yes

How about trying to imagine keeping your cool when the 1,001st person hopes you’re doing ok. And the 1,000 times before. People are allowed to get angry even at the wrong person every now and then, especially when those people think a parasocial relationship in their mind allows them to talk to a complete stranger

...because we can’t have more than one movie about teenage boys and their friendships?

What I find ‘funny’ in all of this is that the patriarchy is so entrenched in all of us that a woman can go through the hell and trauma that Britney went through but the public still expects her to be ‘on’ and sweetness and light 24/7. Plus ça change....

I would hate to see her conservatorship ended just to be replaced by a life controlled by a fickle group of “fans” determining what is and what is not best for “their” star.

What bothered me most about Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? was that they matched up a 37-year-old Black doctor (top tier in his profession, at that) with what seemed to me like a 23-year-old white flibbertigibbet, and by putting them in a romantic relationship, suggested that they were at least ostensibly on equal
