Sorry, Brad, George, Matt, Don, and Andy. Ocean’s 8, the women-led spin-off of the celebrity-studded and decidedly dudely heist franchise, has officially beat out its predecessors at the box office.

Good news for Zazie Beetz fans: Season 3 of Atlanta will likely feature more stories specifically focused around women.

The Tony Awards are watched by a small but dedicated community of theater aficionados and former high school musical chorines who love the spectacle of grown adults singing and dancing on a stage with great earnestness. As a result, the red carpet is usually.... not great.

“I say we do whatever the hell we wanna do—set the weirdos free and see what happens” is my motto in life, but it is also a line from the Season 2 trailer for GLOW, which returns to Netflix on June 29.

Last week, I met Ari Aster, the writer and director of the horror film Hereditary, in the A24 office. For about 20 minutes, we talked about genre (he originally shopped Hereditary as a “family tragedy that curdles into a nightmare”), subverting expectations (undoubtedly a reason the film has proved so divisive), the…

White supremacists, newly emboldened by their racist buddy Donald Trump, are working to grow their numbers, actively recruiting on college campuses, and using social media to to expand their reach. They’re also training for violent confrontation.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Ohio did not violate federal law by purging voters from the state’s rolls if voters did not vote for two years and failed to respond to a confirmation notice sent by the state.

Last November, Vox published a story by politics editor Laura McGann about New York Times politics reporter Glenn Thrush and what she called his “history of bad judgment” around young women journalists. The story detailed four women’s assertions that Thrush came onto or harassed them, usually in situations involving…

It’s June, which means just about everything about popular culture makes me proud to be gay. I’m proud of Ocean’s 8, a queer fantasy. I’m proud of Hereditary because it’s giving gay icon Toni Collette another chance in the spotlight. I don’t give a single shit about the Tony Awards, but I’m proud of any event that…

President Trump will have to use an invisibility cloak to get into Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, because the actress who plays Hermione has effectively banned his ass from entering the theatre.

In November 2017, Pixar co-founder and animator John Lasseter announced he would be taking a leave from the company after alleged “missteps,” later reported to actually be textbook sexual harassment including “grabbing, kissing, making comments about [the] physical attributes” of female employees at Pixar. Now,…

“Kiksuya”—the Lakota word for “remember” and the title of Sunday night’s Westworld episode—was a devastatingly beautiful change of pace, giving us some answers where questions are normally posed, and providing us with subtle (but not confounding!?!?!) clues to the direction of where this whole romp is headed.

The teens are better than us—this much we know. But if you need another reminder, here’s one: students from Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Drama Club lovingly brought down the house at the Tony Awards on Sunday night with an excellent rendition of the classic Rent song, “Seasons of Love.” There was…

Donald Trump can’t stop, won’t stop tearing shit up.

Is this a photograph of the leader of the free world at the G7 Summit, enjoying the company of his peers and intellectual equals? Or is this a sleepy lil’ salamander who woke up from a nap and simply doesn’t wanna?

Last night, while watching the Tonys with his family, Neil Patrick Harris took to Twitter to make fun of the woman who was hosting the backstage portion of the show for CBS. “Who is the woman in the top hat backstage at @TheTonyAwards?” he asked his followers before quoting his 7-year-old son Gideon. “Gideon remarked…

Martha Stewart, America’s greatest and truest treasure, has posted her first selfie. Or, at least, she has posted the first selfie she thinks is “good,” though, certainly, Martha Stewart has never taken a bad photograph in her life.

Angela Merkel lived out every thinking woman’s nightmare this weekend when she was forced to spend two days with Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Quebec, Canada. And though Quebec has many lovely old buildings and seabird sanctuaries, it appears Merkel did not come away from her visit with many positive thoughts,…

As expected, Andrew Garfield won a Tony Award on Sunday night for his excellent performance as Prior Walter in the current Broadway run of Angels in America, Tony Kushner’s famed epic about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to “the countless LGBTQ people who have fought and…

Tiffany Trump, the #Resistance’s only hope, posted a selfie with Noami Biden to her Instagram story collection this weekend. Naomi Biden is, of course, former Vice President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, and I can only assume the photoshoot was yet another clue in a long list that suggest Tiff is the true cornerstone in…

“Thanks to my loyal sponsors from @potcoin and my team at @Prince_Mrketing, I will be flying to Singapore for the historical Summit,” retired NBA star Dennis Rodman literally tweeted on Friday.
