New research on Airbnb use may not surprise you: users with “black-sounding” names have a harder time booking rooms than users with “white-sounding” names. Great.

Kitson is shuttering all of its 17 stores across California, Oregon and Nevada—even their online shop is biting the dust. Where will Kardashian wannabes shop now?!

In The Dead Ladies Project, Jessa Crispin—founder of the online lit mag Bookslut—weaves together longtime preoccupations to create a bracing, prickly, through-provoking book.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has a history of choosing Golden Globe nominees for reasons as simple as, “Uh, we’ve heard of it?” but this year’s lineup is filled with some delightful surprises that will probably make the ceremony the most entertaining of the year—despite Ricky Gervais.

Perhaps it’s clear that American Muslims might have some problems with Donald Trump’s attitude towards them, given the racist, windbaggy dump he just shat upon them out of the anal blowhole he calls his mouth. But some Muslim Republicans—like Saba Ahmed, the American flag hijab-wearing hero who heads up the Republican Muslim Coalition—say they aren’t worried about his fascistic impulse to ban Muslim travelers , because his viewpoints do not reflect those of the party.

Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan recently grew a very short beard. Soon after that, he gently denounced Islamophobia. Hello, it’s pretty obvious that you can’t do those two things at the same time, Ry guy!

The 1970s were possibly the absolute nadir of American eating habits. That’s common knowledge, but it’s still wild to scroll through photo after photo of revolting evidence. And now you can do just that, thanks to the Twitter account 70s Dinner Party!

On Friday, presidential contender Ted Cruz challenged his opponent, the pillow at the bottom of your linen closet Donald Trump, to a cage match via Twitter.

Dance Mom’s chief leviathan Abby Lee Miller claims that she’s willing to delay shooting on Season 6 of her show because a producer with “cockamamie ideas” suggested that one of her child dancers don a fake pregnancy belly and perform as a pregnant teen. Way to put your foot down, Abby! Only the best and most tasteful routines for the Abby Lee Dance company!

It started the way so many things on the Internet do: with a Drake song. In 2014, his loosie “0-100” boasted his rap prowess as, “I been Steph Curry with the shot / Been cookin’ with the sauce / Chef Curry with the pot, boy.” For the uninitiated, Steph Curry is the point guard of the Golden State Warriors, who honored as MVP of the league last season after he and his team defeated LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 Finals. And while Steph and co.’s continued accomplishments remain a dazzling spectacle and pure joy to watch... Читать дальше...

Over 24 religious colleges and universities have obtained exemptions from Title IX federal civil rights protections since last year, according to reports. These waivers allow the universities to discriminate against students, employees, and faculty on the basis of their gender, sexual orientation, and whether or not a person has had an abortion. Have we entered a fucking dystopian novel?

Perhaps it’s common knowledge among rabid fans of Star Wars and its ever-expanding universe, but we at Jezebel only recently found out that Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o would be playing a tiny, mostly-CGI, 1000-year-old, goggle-wearing alien pirate named Maz Kanata in the newest installment of the series.

Lupita Nyong’o appeared on Good Morning America Friday morning to discuss her role in the upcoming Star Wars movie because Disney is the parent company of both ABC and Lucasfilm. Synergy!

Seems like someone is making a statement.

Earlier this week I wrote about Tinkerbell Cosmetics, my pink plastic childhood obsession. No doubt I begged, I pleaded, I whined. But everybody’s got some white whale from their early years. What was yours?

In 1985, Steven Avery was charged with raping a woman named Penny Beernsten. In 2003, he was exonerated of the crime and released from prison. Two years later, he was charged with murder. Based on those three sentences, this is something you would like to know more about, correct?

On Thursday night, Rihanna threw her 2nd Annual Diamond Ball gala at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, to support her Clara Lionel Foundation. From Zendaya to Kylie Jenner—and even Tyga—nearly everyone cleaned up nicely for the queen. Still, no ANTI album anywhere in sight.

Last night, NBC premiered Coat of Many Colors, the first of many TV movies about the life of Dolly Parton they plan to produce over the next few years. The film was essentially a two-hour sermon, broken up by commercials for Target, and I fell asleep more than once.

In the trial of serial rapist ex-cop Daniel Holtzclaw—a man who took an extraordinarily evil bet on America’s disenfranchisement of poor black women, to the point of regularly pulling them over and raping them on the street—some took note of the fact that he was facing an all-white jury and had an attorney who suggested his victims had an “agenda ,” and concluded that we might as well prepare for the worst.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was photographed on Thursday greeting 163 Syrian refugees who had recently touched down on a government-sponsored flight from Beirut, a painful reminder of how much easier it is to do good things in a country that hasn’t been hijacked by racist ideologues.
