With rape scenes more prevalent in film and television than ever before, “rape choreography” has emerged as a necessary part of set life for actors and directors.

Not for the first time, last night’s Real Housewives of Orange County displayed a woman on the verge of (to risk sounding like Heather Dubrow) a nervous breakdown.

Bromance. Guy liner. Manscaping. The last thing the world needs is another male ego-friendly term to describe a word or phrase that already exists and yet, here’s a new one courtesy of the Wall Street Journal: Brosectomy parties, i.e. an occasion for men to gather and get vasectomies with their buds. Bonding!

To the shock and awe of no one, fury boy Sean Spicer resigned today from his position as White House press secretary. Attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Caltrain electrification project, politics reporter Casey Tolan was able to ask Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi what she thought about Spicy Time coming to an…

Blac Chyna doesn’t fit the mold of a so-called perfect victim. Grossly, our culture prefers women who are violated by sexual harassment and violence to appear sweet, innocent, and (because we’re a country of racists) preferably white.

A ringer has entered the Real Housewives of Orange County’s ongoing battle to determine who is the ultimate worst: Lydia McLaughlin, the pint-sized, outspoken Christian who’s dead set on getting everything out in the open, has surpassed all expectations that she’d only last one season, returning to the series after a…

Of all the emotions, it’s humiliation that scars the most deeply. The memory of an embarrassing moment that happened decades ago can still stop a person in their tracks and devastate them for days, weeks, or even a lifetime.

Recently, a coworker was regaling the staff describing a recent terrible sex dream she had about well-known television personality. The sex in the dream was bad, but still not nearly as awful as we all imagined it would be in real life, probably gentle and sensitive to the point of obsequiousness. “The tender man is…

In 1997, Irene McGee—a college student at Georgetown—applied on a whim and was cast on The Real World: Seattle, the seventh season of the pioneer MTV reality show that featured “seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped.” Little did she know that the two months she spent living on Pier 70…

An HIV testing clinic and LGBT center operated by Abounding Prosperity, Inc in South Dallas now faces a daunting rebuilding effort after their facilities were destroyed by a fire started by an arsonist on the morning of July 7. No one was inside at the time.

Welcome to Teen Week!

It’s FRIDAY, baby, and the temps are climbing! Why not cool off with a trip to the pool? I know some folks in Thousand Oaks, California who have one and they’d love to have you over. Two housekeeping things, though: First, the house is over an hourlong drive from Downtown Los Angeles (the I-5, am I right??!!) and,…

A 19-year-old woman in El Salvador has been sentenced by a judge to 30 years in prison after she delivered a stillborn in a toilet at her home in rural Cuscatlán.

In the pantheon of Real Housewives tag lines, the most memorable are the ones that are so bad that they’re great—like Shannon Beador’s “When life gives you lemons, put nine in a bowl!” or Ramona Singer’s current “I’m an acquired taste. If you don’t like me, acquire some taste!”

In a season three episode of Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer comments on the over-politicizing of reproductive rights, remarking aptly that “if men got pregnant, you could get an abortion at an ATM.” But men CANNOT get pregnant, so instead women’s health advocates must spend their time fighting for affordable…

After his concert at Terminal 5 in New York last night, rapper Young Thug, 25, pledged to donate all show proceeds to Planned Parenthood because, as a former teenage parent, he personally knows the value of the clinic.

If one theme has arisen out of 20 episodes of DirtCast, it’s that—with the advent of social media—the glory days of tabloid culture was over by 2010. So who does one turn to when you want to revisit the thrill that comes only from Lindsay Lohan calling Paris Hilton a “cunt” on camera? Pop Culture Died in 2009, of…

Michelle Rodriguez, best known as Letty in The Fast and the Furious franchise, is perhaps the number two fan of the beloved vroom vroom series (second only to her co-star Vin Diesel), but that doesn’t mean that she’s satisfied with her character’s jump seat storylines.

The outsides of 849 rape kit containers being held in police storage in Austin, Texas have been partially covered in mold.
