You know, I like the sadness and softness that Anne Hathaway has added to that song, but I feel like she's lost the rage that makes it so powerful. It's a song about life killing you—"life has killed the dream I dreamed"—that paradox is obvious to anyone. But Fantine's voice reflects that paradox when she's singing…

Jesus, whatever happened to #trollpatrol. "Someone must pay" for her being on the internet in her panties? Is she parading in front of your window? Is she waking you up in the morning with her "drooping" ass in your face? No? Then you clicked a link to look. And even if some world where you didn't have to do that…

Does Jezebel continue to post articles by Hugo Schwyzer just for the clicks generated by the controversial decision to publish the writing of a man who attempted to kill his girlfriend (and himself)? There are so many men with more perspective that I'd rather hear from. By his own admission, "I haven't been always…

A studio needs to hire you post haste. This is the only thing either of them could do at this point that in which I would be remotely interested. Are you secretly Harvey Weinstein?

Why do so few people understand how conception works? Considering it's the linchpin in so many goddamn conservative convictions, you'd think at least one person would've done a brief study to understand the difference between emergency contraception and abortion.* Jesus fucking Christ.

So Nick Lachey and Kristin Cavalleri both named their kids Camden. And they were together circa 2006. Interesting.

Yeah, for a long time they didn't have Abercrombie outside of the States (and maybe Canada?). I remember friends in Ireland feeling about it the way I felt about H&M (when it was only in Europe). Once something crosses the pond, it's becomes underwhelming very fast.

Honestly, $14 for a pack of cigs seems pretty reasonable for a hotel. They're about $12.50 here in New York, and that's when you schlepp your ass over to the 7-11.

amazing! how did mr. slowtraincoming, the ultimate fanboy, not know this?!

James Urbaniak, you're very pithy and all, but when is the new fucking season of Venture Bros going to be on????

Tyra did NOT go to HBS! She did a certificate program without stringent admissions standards. Since she's a successful business woman and because the Ivies are as big of starfuckers as the rest of us, I have no doubt she would get into Harvard Business School, but Christ, if I hear her claim that one more time, I'm…

That's fucking enough. It's been 5 and a half years since I quit smoking (you know, since it's bad for your health or whatever) and I still miss the damn things. About 3 years ago, I started eating more eggs because I read a study that said that people who eat eggs everyday tend to weigh less (that doesn't mean it's…

I spent all of the 4 days it took for me to read it bitching endlessly to Mr. Slowtraincoming about how bad the writing was. I only didn't put it down because (a) if I pay $16 for a hardcover book at Costco, I'm finishing it and (b) I kept thinking the critics had to be right and I had to be wrong. I literally do…

I didn't come even close to suggesting the elimination of the male pronoun. (That's for another thread.) That comment has so little to do with what I said that I'm not sure you actually meant to respond to me. Or maybe you're being sarcastic? I'm so confused by this response.

I'm not challenging your argument, because I think it's really well-reasoned, actually. But I'm clarifying: do you think it's arbitrary that virtually every language has settled on the male pronoun for mixed groups or individuals of undefined gender? That just seems...a little too credulous.

Can you site any evidence of this? I work in academia and have formerly worked in journalism and have never, ever seen this accepted.

Truth: I just read that opening sentence out loud to my co-worker and we applauded you, Lindy.

This is EXACTLY what I wrote on the petition that was circulating on change.org about this situation. I went to a highly repressive private Baptist (northern, white Baptist—"Footloose" style, not good gospel, black folks, southern Baptist) school and girls could be thrown out for getting pregnant, but not the boys…

Dude, that costume was pitch-perfect with one exception: all I could think was "Christ, those pants are low! Half my vulva would be showing, not to mention my entire ass crack."

You know, to everyone who has decried the supposedly declining content in the Gawker empire (myself included), I give you the following rebuttal:
