When I was in North Korea in May, the Moranbong Band was the source of several of my questions. Almost any time you went to a restaurant, they were playing on a large TV—and it happened to be their most recent show since we saw the same performance at least once a day. (I also looked it up when I got back home.)

Maybe I am a terrible person because I silently said YES YES YES to myself upon reading the bullet about Kristen Wiig having crap hair and having to wear er, Wiigs. But I cannot stand Kristen Wiig and find it reassuring that crappy tabloids may be writing stories about her not being perfect. Because schadenfreude is

I used to loathe January Jones (and Betty Draper). Maybe it was her tragic arc during the final season of Mad Men, The Last Man On Earth (which is becoming a more and more enjoyable show) and perusing her Instagram, but I’ve recently thought, oh, maybe she isn’t that all that terrible. And I still want to believe

This feels so anticlimactic ever since Taylor Swift has been on tour.

I, too, cried. One of the few celebrities’ deaths that have truly brought me to tears. And I spent that NYE at home playing my L&O video games...

I know comparisons shouldn’t be a thing, and just because they were both on SNL and are starring in a movie together, but...Kate McKinnon deserves all the frothing at the mouth accolades bestowed upon Kristen Wiig.

The Hipster Grifter better be a judge.

How much of Big Bang Baby inspired Chris Martin’s schtick? Tiny Music Weiland (I can’t believe its been almost 20 years since that was released.) feels like it had a hand in that.

The Kroenke family wants to be the sort of well-known rich family of assholes that gets featured on Bravo. I am convinced this is a driving motivation in moving the Rams back to LA.

I guess if we are getting technical, Star Wars IS Disney now, so...

I keep thinking her name is Anita Shank.

As far as tabloid rags go, Jennifer Aniston’s Uterus is the modern day UFO.

I need to know that Gawker Media pays you extra for this, similar to hazardous duty pay in the military, or even just how some companies will at least order you dinner when you’re working late.

Brown lips + chokers were so my everything.

Truly a supernova girl.

When it comes to ‘investing’ in workout clothing, pants are really the only thing that merit spending a few extra bucks. Doing a 200-hr yoga teacher training program gets you a discount at both Lululemon and Athleta. Even with the discount, I’ve gone into a Lululemon once since finishing my certification in May 2014.

For whatever reason, I feel like she would be just a teeny bit less awful if she began allowing photographers to shoot her head-on. Because when your former kloset organizer steals your fame-for-fame’s-sake game and ups it by 200,000, you should really try different things that are not bringing your laptop to a club

In 2002 or 2003, one of my college friends (we are both from a midwestern city that is by no means devoid of culture) who was by then an attorney [who loved SATC and Gucci and Juicy Couture] FINALLY got to go to NYC.

YES. And when I was in Beijing this summer, I was somewhat shocked by how prevalent the obsession with an idealized Paris was throughout the city and especially amongst teens. I do not believe I ever really knew it was an actual thing beyond selling stationary, throw pillows, and wall decor. French Stuff + Selfies are
