I interviewed for an internship at Vice in 2004 and a job in like 2011. Both times it looked like the least professional office imaginable, with male employees acting like idiots and female employees being the “responsible mom” type. I was highly qualified for the rights & clearances job I interviewed for and during…

Having children is how Tori makes money now. Every time she gets pregnant she gets to be featured in every “bump watch” segment in these magazines, will participate in a feature on her new nursery and baby shower and then when she gives birth, she gets a cover story. She had a really scary pregnancy with her 4th kid…

Oksana Baiul won the gold medal and she wasn’t styled any better than Tonya was....

Tonya was an explosive and extremely athletic skater but judges at the time were putting emphasis on balletic grace, which Kerrigan better exemplified. Tonya may have had an easier career if she was skating now. Her styling wasn’t as good as Kerrigan’s but it was about the same as many of the eastern european skaters.…

It was supposed to be a joke about saying that she was leaving the series without mentioning the engagement. The news that she was leaving the series came out a few weeks ago and was already reported on Jez.

They deliver.

I’m not Asian but I think the issue to the Chinese government was that she was mocking Buddha, not that she was mocking Asian people.

What are you even talking about? I think you are confusing famous people with 1920s British aristocrats. Just because someone is wealthy doesn’t mean that they don’t want to spend time with their children. Many parents bring their kid to daycare so they can go to work and we don’t accuse them of giving up all the hard…

For some reason a lot of the commenters here think that famous/rich people deal with their kids like British aristocrats in the 1920s. It never occurs to them that non-rich parents who have to work also use child care options, like daycare or that a rich person might want to spend time parenting their child.

Franken was not a Senator (or a politician) when this incident took place. Still, he was old enough to know better.

It’s what we say in New England.

Her full name is Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. I agree - Junie is a great name for her!

Yep. I was just responding to the basic concept of what the OP was saying. Didn’t feel like the time to get into the nuances of NFL contract law.

NFL players don’t have guaranteed contracts and therefore do not get paid for games that they do not play, at least by choice. A player who refused to play for the rest of the season would not make any money.

As a NYer who has to hear this announcement multiple times every day, this is a huge deal. The voice talks very slowly, is SO loud and the announcements are SO long. You can’t hear your music/podcast any time it is talking and it’s super annoying. Here is what is says: “Ladies and gentlemen: the next L train will be…

I’ve cried on the train a few times and every time, a kind, elderly hispanic woman has hugged me and also talked to me a little bit about how Jesus will watch out for me (I’m Jewish, but I appreciate the help, Jesus). It has made all the difference.

Yeah. I only did a tiny bit of work on it, but I remember the production staff feeling like this was going to have a big impact when it was released and then just...nothing. I wonder if it was because people feel like a young gay guy who goes to a sexy sex party at a director’s house is like, asking to be assaulted?…

It’s my understanding that part of the reason that many gymnasts retire in their late teens is because of the stress to the body of landing these moves over and over again. It doesn’t seem like something your body can deal with for that many years. The risk of career-ending injuries doesn’t help either.

There was a whole documentary film made about him, so I would say it’s not an open secret. I worked on the film. People just didn’t really care.

Would we be able to find a separate space for the accusations against predatory famous men than in Dirt Bag? Maybe a separate daily feature called Grab Bag? It feels a little too serious and important to kick off the daily gossip round up with sexual assault allegations every day.
