It reminds me of that John Waters bit where he declares, as a tax payer, he uses public services for everything. “If I see someone wearing shoes I don’t like, I call the police.”

They’re all for sale. Even the worst oligarchs and potentates have bought the cream of the A-list. (Remember the fuss when it came out whom Mariah Carey has performed for?) Pay their fees and per diem and 99% of them will be there (Major A listers have done bar mitzvahs and weddings for the right price). Very few…

Did Kanye book him using Ja Rule’s app?

Did anyone notice him unceremoniously letting go of the cat mid-air? I mean, the cat seems fine, but he could have bent a little to shorten the distance to the ground a bit...

Am I the only one struggling to understand what it means for an ass to be a battleship?

The New York Times had text messages! Of him saying that if people found out, they’d believe he was like R. Kelly! How are you gonna dispute things after that?

I met Ryan Adams back in 2013 through a mutual friend. She was taking film photographs of the recording process of his latest self titled album at Pax Am studios. We both worked as artist in LA, and at the time she was 20 years old and I was 26. When I arrived, everything seemed cordial until Ryan started making…

Because 5+ women have coordinated a big fat lie about Ryan Adams 🙄 /s

Ugh I knew something was bound to come out about him (not a good reputation at all). Side note: I saw an all ages show (started at 5:30 pm!!) with Mandy Moore 10+ years ago...she was so charming, beautiful and had an amazing voice! Met her in person and was so damn sweet. I do hope she makes music again! I still love…

Completely not shocked by this at all, I’ve been told by musician friends that he’s a major asshole. I just hope this means Mandy Moore can move on and start making music again.

And this is why we need a Violent Against Women Act, because the men in power literally do not care.

Exactly. I have a family member who I think is a potential sexual predator. Other than not letting my kids be around him there’s nothing I can do. He hasn’t broken any laws.

If that shitty music had been in Arabic, I guaran-fucking-tee he’d have been locked up for it. It’s not that law enforcement doesn’t have the tools, it’s that law enforcement sees gendered violence as “boys will be boys.” 

When are crimes like this going to be categorized has hate crimes? It says a lot about us as a society that we are so used to violence against women that it’s not considered a hate crime even if it targets women for being women. 

The reality is probably that there is no such thing as an actionable red flag to the FBI or other law enforcement agencies. They always hide behind phrases like “not actionable” unless there is an explicit threat. It’s fucked up, but really asking law enforcement in the US to be proactive is a fool’s errand. They’re…

“But if a history of sexual misconduct—from the military to the classroom—and an arrest record, aren’t enough of a red flag to the FBI, what is?”

I’m guessing it’s because DeBeers and other gem cartels are pitching lab stones as inferior because they’re not “natural.” Or something. Anything to keep them rare.

Yeah, I’ve read that about lab-grown stones too. I don’t really get it either. They are molecularly THE SAME. I think it’s something about resale value? But I ain’t selling my ring, even if my relationship should end, so that makes no difference to me.

Yerp, and leather. I’m gonna be fucking giddy once scientists can perfect and mass-produce lab grown meats too.
