Once someone is hired to a job but before they start they should be told to read Ask A Manager to calibrate their professionalism meter so stuff like this doesn’t happen. For new grads the dress code and the guy who was rude to the CEO’s wife would be particularly relevant.

Eye contact and a hi is fine but I don’t think it’s fair when people say such and such a celebrity is an asshole because when they approached them on the street one time they seemed standoffish or didn’t immediately debate the strengths and weaknesses of their recent projects with them.

That’s totally fair, I thought I remembered reading in the original story that Tia tried to compliment Charlize on her films and Charlize wasn’t having it. Hi is totally reasonable but I don’t think we all owe strangers a conversation all the time and I thought that was what Tia was getting at.

These stories make me feel conflicted because yeah you don’t need to tell everyone to fuck off but what did Tia Mowry want from her interaction with Charlize? If I was in a hurry and a rando wanted to force a conversation with me I wouldn’t be interested either and I’m not a world famous celebrity. I doubt Tia has…

I admire his commitment to the original dumps like a truck choreography. He probably thinks people want him to remake the Thong Song because it’s all anyone remembers about him and the least awkward follow up question to “you did that thong song right?” is “ever thought of a remix?” because “do you still sing?” could…

I don’t have an issue with a performer singing along to playback for a chorus here and there because it’s functionally no different than using backing singers, but I don’t think a singer should be charging astronomical fees for shows where they don’t sing. There is no singing at a Britney show and her fans accept that…

Kylie and Kendall can resent Kris for the lives they didn’t get to live because they were shoved into the public eye as children without the capacity to understand what that would mean or consent to it.

I love hot water bottles, I come from somewhere where electric kettles are standard kitchen items so I heat water in that and just let it cool for a little while before filling it up. Although I have recently upgraded to an electric blanket and I don’t think I’m ever going back.

I think it’s extremely brave for her to come out and say she did DBT in an inpatient facility because DBT is so linked to Borderline Personality Disorder which has an extremely negative reputation with the public.

I wish they would have given the video budget for Superlove to one of her many great R&B tracks or at least a song with a stronger chorus. Tinashe is a really dynamic performer and if she is going to break through it would probably be with a song that plays to her strengths more than Flame. Unfortunately I don’t think…

I loved Nightride. Tinashe seems stuck in that Ciara/Christina Milian/Nicole Scherzinger space where she’s not doing anything wrong but nothing she does quite works or at least sticks enough to make a career out of. Better management or label might be able to fix it but I don’t think Flame is going to do it.

Great article! I had no idea Neptune Stadium was the first team owned basketball arena in Europe, I assumed it was state owned or belonged to UCC who use it as an exam venue. I remember Basketball being very popular when I was a child but it seems to have fallen by the wayside in Irish culture since then.

I never thought I’d see an image more egregiously over photoshopped than this Kelly Osbourne CD cover. Congratulations to Khloé and Protein World for producing such a laughably unrecognisable image.

And gifting Ben the soldier with the jean shorts he wears in every subsequent appearance.

It’s even easier to lock using the shortcut of Windows key and L.

He really was incredibly talented, both as a singer and a songwriter. Even the songs I don’t personally care for like Shoot The Dog have excellent construction and delivery. I was massively excited to hear he was planning to release new material it’s such a shame he died so young, he could have made an excellent…

Maybe Americans wouldn’t have cared but he remained a huge star in many parts of the world particularly in Europe and many people would have been very excited to hear new material from him.

George Michael was so massively underrated, he was incredibly talented and defines what a great pop star should be for me. He wrote and produced his own music and his voice was one of best in the business. His live vocals sounded almost identical to his recorded vocals.

Her early experiences with Mottola established a weirdly adversarial relationship between Mariah and staging she has back up dancers literally drag her around the stage and she fails to muster any enthusiasm for even extremely basic choreography. If Mottola wants to take credit for her success he must also take credit…

Tommy’s control of her at the start of her career also prevented her from learning the kind of stagecraft that would have helped her have the confidence to play off technical difficulties like NYE with more grace. Being locked in that house recording albums meant she didn’t develop as much as a performer as other…
