Less than a month after Spotify announced its decision to stop promoting artists who have committed “hateful conduct”—whatever that means—by not including them on any official Spotify playlists, the company is calling the policy off. “Across all genres, our role is not to regulate artists,” the company wrote in a…

The idea of saying “fuck it” to your shit job and taking your rock band on the road sounds like the stuff of teen fantasies and cult ’80s movies, or at the very least a nominally bad idea. But it’s 2018 and all bets are off—and if you have even a small fraction of the talent that friend-of-Jezebel TOMI does, you’re…

The nation’s unofficial ban on romaine lettuce continues apace, as Reuters reports four more people have died from e. coli as a result of eating tainted lettuce. Sad news for those who love a Caesar salad—and reassuring news for the rest of us, who have recognized the superiority of the wedge salad all along.

Soon it will be summertime (again!), and once again, the Jezebel staff has imbued ourselves with the power to choose which songs will fill the thick, hazy summer air as women trot down blazing sidewalks wearing Fashion Nova shorts while slurping on the finest of popsicles. Each year, we attempt to predict what will be…

If you don’t know about Dallas-based Breda, you need to. The watch brand creates minimalist, easy-to-wear styles of watches that aren’t overworked or over priced. And we’ve got an exclusive discount in time for Father’s Day, or a great graduation gift. Use the code 35DADGRAD and grab any colorway of their Visser,…

I like to think this is something that doesn’t need to be said, but let’s just throw it out there anyway: Serial killers are not sexy. Or fun. Or funny. They’re monsters. But then fictional serial killers show up in a story as a well-dressed psychiatrist or a good-looking vampire and they’re tapping into a very…

When it comes to making risky, life-altering decisions, I am very decisive. I have quit jobs because of shitty environments with nothing lined up—hell, I left a lucrative (albeit soulless) career to chase an impractical dream of being a writer—and, though I wish it didn’t come to this, I took a gamble on my future…

Modern roller derby is a women-dominated sport that was created by and for, and still is run by women—one of few (if not only) sports that can claim this. It’s synonymous with women’s empowerment in the minds of many, and it promotes itself as an inclusive, safe space where women find and take pride in their inner…

In Jersey Shore, Abridged, Jezebel planned to recap the first season, and maybe the entire series, of Jersey Shore in 3 to 5 sentences followed by viewing comprehension questions and therapeutic prompts. An editorial decision was made to jump ahead to the latest season because rewatching the entire series was bad for…

Most mornings, after making a cup of cold brew coffee (Chameleon is very good and reasonably priced—$8.99 for a bottle that will last me five days), I grab my laptop, plop my frail, aching body on the couch, and turn the television on. I tune the dial to MSNBC, not because I am a “wonk” or “politics nerd,” but rather…

On Thursday, Donald Trump met privately with more than two dozen people affected by the Santa Fe High School shooting, the Associated Press reports.

Rapper Riff Raff’s Australia and New Zealand tour has been canceled after he was accused of rape in a Facebook post.

There’s trouble in paradise, and by paradise, I mean the discussions about marketing for the upcoming horror film Slender Man. The issue right now is between the producers and Sony Pictures, the studio that’s expected to release the movie later this summer.

Donald Trump, lover of music and all of the arts, hereby declares that June is “African-American Music Appreciation Month.”

On Wednesday, several media outlets reported that “longtime friends” of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who has been indicted on a dizzying number of charges that include tax evasion, bank fraud, money laundering, and conspiring against the United States, have launched a website to collect money to pay…

In Part 1 of our roundtable with former reality TV stars Amber Marchese (The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 6), Irene McGee (The Real World: Seattle), and Shii Ann Huang (Survivor: Thailand), they discussed the filming process, producers, and how the melodramatic sauce gets made. Here’s the second part of that…

The world’s largest freshwater pearl, a champagne colored globule called the “Sleeping Lion” was just sold at an auction for $374,000. Look at her. There she is. The most beautiful pearl in the world.

Andie swimwear does what most swimwear brands don’t do: allow the customer to control their own shopping experience.

Over the last 14 years I have lived in New York City, I have had repeated conversations with people I meet that follow a particular, unwavering script:

Last night, 14-year-old Karthik Nemmani of McKinney, Texas, rocking rectangular glasses and a smooth bowl cut, won the 2018 Scripps National Spelling Bee after correctly spelling the word “koinonia,” meaning “communion.” The runner-up, Naysa Modi, was felled by the arguably much more difficult word “bewusstseinslage,”…

“Vigilante Mom” is turning into a full-blown, though low-budget, action genre right now. There was 2017's Kidnap, in which Halle Berry transforms into a car-chasing vigilante when her child is abducted, and then the recent Breaking In, which has Gabrielle Union out to protect her children from violent intruders. Now…

I was going to make the lead story in this morning’s Dirt Bag about Roseanne begging “like 40 motherfuckers” at ABC to not cancel her show, but then I realized, Bob, it’s Friday, and that’s no fun. So, because we could all use a reprieve from this endless cycle of news about a “racist idiot,” let’s begin with…

In a world where bra shopping feels more like a slow form of torture than anything remotely resembling an enjoyable experience, Journelle is a salvation. The lingerie they make and carry is beautiful, and it carries up to M in cup size. Right now their Semi-Annual Sale is happening, which means 30% off over 750 bras,…

I’m pretty immune to being tricked into feeling any emotion at all by headlines, but this one did give me pause. What I feel is a sense of unreality, as well as a burning curiosity.
