her agents told her Nickelodeon was offering her $300,000 to never talk about her time there

I love when people say this on, like, Hughes or Barsanti articles, people who’ve been writing at AV Club for over 8 years. This is the first case where I think it’s really feasible, but I suspect the author has you on a technicality and lived at least a few months of the ‘90s,

“Unfortunately for Coulier’s case, he says after he hurried to a record store (ah, the ‘90s)“

Although Morissette has stayed mum on the song’s inspiration (and the lyrics don’t name any names), the release timeline also lines up—Coulier and Morissette split just a year before Jagged Little Pill was released.

Another day, another video on Jezebel without captions. Or runtime. Or a transcription. C'mon! 👏Not👏all👏of👏your👏readers👏can👏hear👏!

Thank you for sparing me the urge to punch my screen while listening to that bobble-throated fucker.

Thank you for this.  Sincerely.

Thank you. You’ve saved me from having to listen to that bloviating dickbag’s voice. I appreciate you. 

Like you, I’ve thought that the reviewers have piled onto her in ways that are unprofessional and go beyond criticism to cruelty. One of the things I love about the late, great Roger Ebert was that as he matured as a critic he expressed real regret for the ways in which he approached negative reviews early in his…

Except Sheridan Smith can sing. And was a well established West End talent with two Olivier wins under her belt by the time she took on Funny Girl, which she was also Olivier nominated for.

LOL, you forgot account for GUNS N’ ROSES. You’re acting like he worked for H&R Block. And their brother was a manager for Maroon Five, which I’m sure was not at all related to dear daddy.

Calling Richard Feinstein just an accountant is misleading though. He’s not down at the H&R Block doing your taxes. He’s been business manager for huge musicians like Madonna and Maroon 5. That absolutely gives you sufficient resources and connections to have 30 legs up on your normal person.

Britta Perry : I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at nepotism.

Is the A.V. Club OK? I think someone needs to check in on them.

Disagreed on every comma. I am beginning to hate the reveal runways, mostly because it makes the first dress always bulky and awkward (Jaida’s one was particularly bad on this respect). Jinkx one was gimmicky: I thought it was going to go through the different stages of Picasso but no, just 4 random “art” thingies,…

Sigh… D-. Jesus Christ, who hurt you? The runway alone made this episode. And you hated the lip sync? You might literally be the only person that did. And yes, the challenge was stupid, but it was stupidly watchable. Please remember what Drag Race is, and stop placing it on some grand pedestal. This review was joyless…

IIRC, the captions on P+ incorrectly do say “vanjie” though. 

It’s usually spelled “banjee”, and comes from Ballroom culture. That said, this was a classic branding challenge, as in it’s designed to reward queens who are funny in an unexpected way that still lines up with their public persona (see Symone’s soft drink, Alaska’s fashion tape and perfume, Jinkx’s perfume, etc.)

I think you may have missed the entire point of this episode, which is just to see them interacting in a zero stakes environment. It’s about the silly love of drag and sometimes you have a throwaway episode. Also, it’s BANJIE. Vanjie is a play on the word.
