The actress Jennifer Lawrence is getting, somewhat fairly, a reputation for being outspoken amongst her Hollywood peers. This trend was established back in 2013, when she told Harper’s Bazaar UK, “If anybody even tries to whisper the word ‘diet,’ I’m like, ‘You can go f– yourself.’” In 2012 she told Elle, “In Hollywood, I’m obese.

I love racing cars and working on them, but it sort of prevents me from enjoying certain things—like fingernail polish. I can’t get a manicure without it chipping immediately. So, I tried out a ridiculous manicure that had to be baked on like automotive paint to find out if pretty nails could finally hold up to oily goo and vehicular muck.

It’s your wedding day and you want to stand out. You’ve seen the dresses your friends have been wearing and you’re not impressed. You need something new. Something exciting. Something fierce and fashion-forward. What you need, according to the designers that make the gowns, is a dress that’s barely there. Like the one Rihanna wore to the CFDAS in 2014. You know, just so it looks like you’re naked in front of everyone you know.

I walked into the darkened auditorium of the conference center at nine in the morning, with my baby girl Olivia strapped to my chest in her wrap. Linda Gray of Dallas was speaking to a large audience of women. I stood at the back of the room with Olivia, while my friend Angela, who had come to the conference to help with Olivia, went to find a place where we could set up for the day ahead.

The reboot factory has brought us a shiny new gift, and it comes from one of Aaron Spelling’s classic productions. ABC is reincarnating Fantasy Island, the late ‘70s, early ‘80s series about a mysterious island where visitors pay to live out their dreams and desires.

In September, Vanity Fair ran a story in which 10 male late-night hosts were featured and referred to as, “all of the titans of late night television.” As expected, the internet blew up at the lack of women in the portrait, especially the absence of one particular fixture from late night TV. Samantha Bee, a longtime correspondent of The Daily Show and host of the upcoming TBS late-night show Full Frontal, tweeted a response. It read, “BETTER,” and was accompanied by an altered version of the Vanity Fair picture. Читать дальше...

Good evening. Join us, endure with us, as five people shout loudly and mostly to themselves about saving the middle class: it’s the first Democratic debate.

On September 20, How to Get Away with Murder’s Viola Davis became the first woman of color in herstory to win an Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Drama. “Let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” she said in her impassioned acceptance speech. “You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.” Veteran comedian Whoopi Goldberg didn’t quite understand what Davis was getting at.

This headline could just read “Group of Christians Good at Their Own Religion.”

Caramel apples, which are not that good anyway, let’s be honest, have been linked to a 2014 Listeria outbreak that left seven dead and resulted in one miscarriage. Now, experts are urging fans of sugar-covered fruit on a stick to either eat the apple immediately upon purchase or to stick it in the fridge for later consumption. Anything else might lead to an unpleasant death.

On Friday afternoon, five men entered a Duane Reade in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, made a beeline to the frozen aisle (probably), and shoved 226 pints of Häagen-Dazs and 24 tubs of Delish ice cream into their knapsacks. What a dream!

All teams shored up their defenses in week two of the Fantasy Kardashian-Jenner League, with PR muscles in flex and, despite some mishaps, no serious injuries on any team. Team Nobody continues to surpass expectations with the ongoing rise of Kylie Jenner, a player previously thought of as a second-stringer until she shined from behind, Matt Saracen-style. (No pun; get your dirty minds out of the gutter.) Team the Gross Fan, though, inched ever closer thanks to the diligence and savvy of Kris Jenner, who puts up a fight. Читать дальше...

British authorities have reported that child abuse related to accusations of witchcraft and exorcism is on the rise. Project Violet, a specialized unit within the Metropolitan Police Service that specifically handles faith and belief-based child abuse, reports 60 crimes occurring this year alone.
