And somehow it’s supposed to perfectly encapsulate Batman Forever? I was such a 90s kid.

We got gift cards for Chick Fil A at work and as a gay dude it was a moral quandary. I had it, it was delicious, and I justified it because it wasn’t my money.

The radio censored it at the weirdest part so I thought the lyrics were always "I'm brave but I'm chickensh" which was a word for cowardly, I guess? Wasn't til I got the cassette that I figured it out.

Meghan’s husband founded The Federalist, so she clearly was sitting on his side. I am also convinced that he’s why Meghan went from cool young Republican to banshee and that he writes everything that’s on her blue cards (which she RARELY can distract herself from when debating). It still was a good clapback, though.

ABC totally fucked up AI because they were convinced they were gonna get Kelly Clarkson to judge and it would be a full circle thing, but she decided to go on The Voice instead (which objectively seems way more fun to be a judge on) and then they had no budget because they gave Katy Perry FORTY MILLION DOLLARS.

I had the Grammy Nominees 1995 cassette and that year also gave us Crazysexycool by TLC, Joan Osborne, Mariah's Daydream album, Boyz II Men at arguably their peak, and Kiss from a Rose which still makes no sense but is still a bop.

I remember my grandpa being uncomfortable that she sang the F-word at the Grammys. It’s ubiquitous now (Ariana has it peppered all over her latest album and Mariah Carey had a single this year that sang “Get the fuck out”), but it was a very big deal for a young lady to be winning awards for that kind of language in…

I saw this with two other gay guys and the two of us that are more, um, gay acting (?) whispered "Yes Queen" at the same time during that part in the first paragraph.

Pro tip: If you do Waterfalls at most karaoke bars, they will use the radio edit. So you have to a) have the rap verse memorized and b) start RIGHT after the second chorus because you lose a bar.

Taylor Armstrong's exasperated "We're not recording an album!" in her confessional was the best.

“Roseanne” did the same thing with Becky and they constantly did inside jokes about it (on NuBecky’s first episode, the tag is everyone watching “Bewitched” and Becky being the only one who likes the new Darren).

Because it was specifically on his chest and he cited his hormones being out of whack, I wonder if he actually had gynecomastia, which is a medical condition that can be corrected with surgery (though 12 still seems VERY young for it).

I had Ashley Parker Angel's single as my ringtone all through college. Years later, he reinvented himself as an Instagram thirst trap. I LOVED HIM FIRST, DAMN IT.

There was a VANITY FAIR article that said it was common knowledge that one member of a boy band would have to "take one for the team" when it came to Lou. Man was NASTY. 

Amy Hill said he was just as unpleasant while filming Cat in the Hat: https://tv.avclub.com/amy-hill-on-being-hollywood-s-go-to-asian-and-why-wor-1798254024

I get that, but her mothee is a  working actress and her father is a very successful fashion designer.

I just read it and gasped when Rupert Murdoch of all people ends up being the moral compass of the story. That's how low the bar was around her!

They were tech people, not science people. And the science people that did call her out on her bullshit were scared into silence. One of the whistleblowers comes from a 1% family who had to spend $400,000 on legal fees.

I just finished it and at the end, the author suggests that she could very well be a sociopath, or at least valued fame and money over anything else (including safety of patients, which is kind of a big deal!).

I may be giving her too much credit, but “irregardless” is famously used by Gretchen Wieners in “Mean Girls” and Mariah is obsessed with that movie (as documented in the song and video of “Obsessed”), so I think she intentionally used it as a wink to the movie.
