A rule from the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) that says women athletes with higher-than-average testosterone levels must compete in mens categories is coming under intense and increasing scrutiny—before it’s even official.

Last week’s episode of Dr. Pimple Popper nearly broke us, but this week’s episode felt...tame, somehow, in comparison. Perhaps it’s because of the lack of fluids that resemble soft cheese—or maybe it’s because our constitutions, stomachs, and hearts are growing ever stronger.

One of the greatest gifts of the last few months has been the relationship between critically acclaimed internet musician Claire Boucher, aka Grimes, and Space X/Tesla founder and billionaire “but don’t call me a billionaire, that’s a bad word” Elon Musk. I call it a gift because it’s entertaining as hell, largely…

Mischa Barton has a new movie coming out and it looks...familiar.

In June, Kelly Marie Tran, star of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, reportedly deleted all her Instagram photos after facing months of harassment from Star Wars fans. Her co-star Simon Pegg has some wise words for those fans.

Yes, it’s happening again. Nordstrom Rack has brought back their Clear the Rack sale and it’s full (and I mean FULL) of really incredible deals. Designer clothing, brands you’ve never heard of, everything in clearance an extra 25% off their already discounted prices.

Somebody seems to have untied a yacht owned by the Devos family last night, setting it briefly adrift. The important information in this news story is that it’s just one of TEN YACHTS belonging to the Devos family. How in the hell do you have TEN YACHTS?

A new, in-depth and rather disturbing investigative report from USA Today confirms a devastating trend we’ve seen over the last few years—more and more mothers are dying during childbirth in the U.S. than any other developed country. That’s 26.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births compared to Germany’s 9, the…

Good news for all the ladies of the world: Flight of the Conchords, the weirdest musical comedy duo to come out of New Zealand, is returning to HBO for just one night.

Lots of good things are happening in New Zealand right now! The latest—on Wednesday night, the country’s lawmakers passed a groundbreaking bill that, for the first time anywhere in the world, will grant domestic violence survivors paid leave, with the goals of lessening the economic impact many people experience when…

A Target has recently opened in Manhattan’s East Village. Apparently the company thought they could “hello, fellow kids!” their way into the neighborhood’s crusty heart with a storefront mimicking the legendary club CBGB. Wow—nailed it, guys.

You really don’t have to bend over…

On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the man who absolutely ruined Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star (how was that shit still there in the first place??) with a pickax is being bailed out of jail by a guy who did a similar thing a couple years ago.

Thought you’d just waltz into the country of Italy and standing right there would be elusive, authorial sensation Elena Ferrante with her arm already outstretched and arranged in handshake formation? Did you perhaps expect a hug? Well, think again: It’s not so easy, my friend, to meet Elena Ferrante.

A tenth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm was promised to us in December, then nothing. What gives?
