Lest you thought you’d be free of Meghan Markle news now that the royal wedding has come and gone, NOPE. Today, from across the pond: Markle wore stilettos to a wedding and she stumbled. It was a Big Deal:
I’m all for celebrating dads on their special day, but Father’s Day does its best work when it doubles as Single Moms Day. Sure, mothers have their own May celebration, but single moms who play two roles deserve more than one shitty Hallmark card and overcooked pile of pancakes in bed. And it appears Madonna, single…
Melania Trump, apparently emboldened by her brief time in hiding, asserted in a statement on Sunday that separating immigrant children from their families at the U.S. border is not a way to Be Best.
Martha Stewart, America’s greatest and truest treasure, has posted her first selfie. Or, at least, she has posted the first selfie she thinks is “good,” though, certainly, Martha Stewart has never taken a bad photograph in her life.
Angela Merkel lived out every thinking woman’s nightmare this weekend when she was forced to spend two days with Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Quebec, Canada. And though Quebec has many lovely old buildings and seabird sanctuaries, it appears Merkel did not come away from her visit with many positive thoughts,…
As expected, Andrew Garfield won a Tony Award on Sunday night for his excellent performance as Prior Walter in the current Broadway run of Angels in America, Tony Kushner’s famed epic about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to “the countless LGBTQ people who have fought and…
Tiffany Trump, the #Resistance’s only hope, posted a selfie with Noami Biden to her Instagram story collection this weekend. Naomi Biden is, of course, former Vice President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, and I can only assume the photoshoot was yet another clue in a long list that suggest Tiff is the true cornerstone in…
Jimmy Fallon, still on an unending redemption tour both for ruffling Donald Trump’s hair on national television and for generally not being funny, made a surprise appearance at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s commencement ceremony in Parkland, Florida on Sunday. There, he gave a very nice speech to the Class of…
Plastic is choking the Earth at an alarming speed, a fact I and everyone reading this blog should think about every time we toss a disposable straw or the plastic packaging encasing a new set of stainless steel straws. And it appears plastic literally choked one short fin pilot whale, who was found in Thailand last…
We’re only about two months away from the premiere of season 3 of Issa Rae’s stellar show Insecure. HBO released the teaser on Sunday, which features Rae’s namesake protagonist breaking out her rapping alter-ego, Mirror Bitch. SOON.
We have now reached Chapter 24 of the Mysterious Disappearance of Melania, who was last seen in corporeal form on May 10. Melania has been missing for so long I’ve almost forgotten what she looks like (which, if certain rumors are true, is possibly the point? IDK!) Today’s Melania update: FLOTUS will not be attending…
A video taken by a beachgoer in Wildwood, New Jersey over the weekend shows a cop punching a 20-year-old woman during a beach arrest, allegedly for underage drinking. The video has since gone viral, and police are reportedly investigating the incident.
The Happytime Murders is an upcoming “raunchy” movie about puppets who team up with Melissa McCarthy to stop their compatriots from being murdered, while simultaneously appearing to ejaculate silly string from their soft puppet parts. Unfortunately, the above trailer’s cursing, drug use, and aforementioned puppet…
Back in February, Olympian skier Gus Kenworthy adopted a puppy named Beemo from a dog meat farm just outside of Seoul. Beemo went back to the States to live with Kenworthy and boyfriend Matt Wilkas, but her heart was literally too big, and she died last week. I am devastated.
Most of what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth is a steaming pile of bullshit. This is a well-documented fact. But for the last few years, some members of the media have been criticized for their reluctance to declare outright that Trump is a Liar who Lies, often choosing instead to refer to his “untruths” and…
A few years ago, most if not all of my friends were single. On any given weeknight, I’d meet with one or five of them for a drink, and we’d swap stories about bad dates, bad sex, and bad crushes who refused to give us the time of day.
Novelist Philip Roth, whose vast body of work included the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Pastoral and the archetypal Portnoy’s Complaint, died Tuesday at the age of 85.
Donald Trump, a man I am certain has never paid or asked someone to abort a fetus he helped put inside them, proposed last week to withhold federal Title X grant funds from healthcare providers that offer abortions or abortion referrals. The so-called domestic gag rule would financially punish places like Planned…
R. Kelly, determined to beat out a hefty group of competitors for this year’s title of Worst Man, claimed in a viral video that it’s “too late” for critics to ruin his career, despite the slew of women who’ve come forward of late to accuse the singer of sexual abuse.
