For decades now drag queens Lady Bunny and RuPaul have been close frenemies, first performing together in New York City during the early ’80s. Since then RuPaul has expanded his empire immensely with the show Drag Race, but now Lady Bunny is reviving her very own drag convention, one that predates RuPaul’s own DragCon…

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Tell It to My Heart, Taylor Dayne’s double-platinum debut album that peaked at #21 on the Billboard 200 albums chart back in 1988.

Have you heard? Recycling is out. Nobody wants your painstakingly sorted tuna cans and milk jugs anymore; might as well just throw the whole practice in the garbage! Except that’s maybe not quuuuuuuuite true.

Perhaps this is a Pittsburgh thing, or maybe this is just a me thing, but I have a habit of first discovering and/or learning—either through rap music or a thing said by a standup comic—about things that everyone already knows. For instance, although I knew of the Cheesecake Factory, I didn’t know they sold things…

An Oklahoma middle school closed this week after parents used a private Facebook group to threaten a 12-year-old girl who is transgender. Parents referred to the student as “it,” “he,” and a “maggot,” according to Newsweek. They also made threats of physical violence, including castration with a knife.

Birds are not the best animal, if one had to pick the best animal. This is true for many reasons: they are feathery little dinosaurs, with razor claws and beaks for pecking (eyes out). They love to execute rude tricks like pooping on a human at the beach while another bird friend steals their french fries. The only…

In July 2017, Sarah Huckabee Sanders replaced the perennially flustered Sean Spicer to become the second White House press secretary under Donald Trump. The appointment made her the third woman to occupy that position, some 10 years after Dana Perino served under George W. Bush. Though expected, her promotion was…

Students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida returned to school on Wednesday, but say it’s not just a regular school year. That kind of ease may be a thing of the past.

A lot can change in a few years. Feelings toward a potential reboot of a beloved early ’90s teen show, for one—and its dweeby co-star Screech could be arrested twice (once for stabbing a guy), serve his time and be placed on probation, for another. So is the story of Saved by the Bell. You might remember Tiffani Amber…

A 34-year-old woman died this week due to an at-home abortion gone wrong, Clarín reports. Elizabeth, as she has been reported, was the mother of a 2-year-old child, and her death is the first reported tragedy following the Senate’s decision to reject what would have been a historic bill to legalize abortion up to 14…

Perhaps, like myself, several people in your life have been telling you to watch this HBO show Succession. The dark comedy follows the shifty actions of the fictional Roy family who oversee a gigantic, super-rich media company with vague branches in theme parks and digital media, clearly inspired by businessmen like…

Four years ago, Nicki Minaj shook the rap world so thoroughly, her haters never got over it. She spoke of her future with clarity and precision—plans to have a child and get married. She told a true story of heartbreak and falling in love—a story that even now continues to haunt her, as she spends her current album…

Harvey Levin, the founder of TMZ who has become quite cozy with Donald Trump, has set his sights on the next POTUS: Kris Jenner.

No one, no matter how on point their summer body is, likes shopping for bathing suits. They’re expensive, and trying them on is a fluorescent-lit nightmare. It’s enough to make anyone crazy/adopt a kaftan-as-beachwear signature look. But, realistically, most of us are going to stick with bathing suits as swimwear,…

Robert Glasper, the Grammy-winning producer and pianist, recently sat down for an interview with Houston radio station 97.9 The Box.

In addition to making some pretty historic firsts, last night’s Democratic primaries were a big win for progressive women who support Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, and tuition-free college.

Priyanka Chopra gave me, by which I mean she gave all of us, the first non-blurry (though still sort of low-res due to the fact that a front-facing camera was used) look at the engagement ring worn to symbolize her decision to marry the youngest Jonas Brother Nicholas (aka Nick), who reportedly shut down an entire…
