J.K. Trotter at Gawker’s Black Bag vertical did a very, very, very in-depth investigation of a claim from 2012 that Katie Holmes, living at the Chelsea Mercantile at the time, shortly after she left ex-spouse Tom Cruise, had a secret entrance to the Whole Foods that occupies the ground floor of the building. Paparazzi had […]
“At that age, actually, youth gives us a level of confidence — it’s naivety. But, our brains don’t change until we’re 25, so we’re risk-takers. It’s sort of built into our chemistry to take risks. I would say to young people just to take those risks, but try to be a little calculated about them, and at the very least, […]
In tragic, stomach-turning news, the remains of former “Food Network Star” contestant Christie Schoen Codd and her husband Joseph Codd were discovered in a wood-burning stove belonging to their neighbor, Robert Owens. In an even more gruesome turn of events, Christie was five months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Christie and Joseph were reported […]
Oh look! The Government thinks it’s Buzzfeed! Apparently, the GOP is trying to demonstrate that they are hip to what the young people are into these days by issuing a press release regarding the “Michael Davis, Jr., and Danny Oliver in Honor of State and Local Law Enforcement Act”– an aggressive anti-immigration bill, in the manner of a […]
Those among us who have ever watched a dude spread his legs across the length of three seats on public transportation or spent so much as five seconds peeking at Men Taking Up Space On The Train (so, everyone) have spent many an afternoon pondering why it’s so difficult for some guys to sit in just one seat. At last, […]
Well this is charming. Earlier this week, the Duggars–a very holy group of people who have lots of babies for Jesus and complain about gay people all the time–went on a very holy sledding excursion. You know, just some good old-fashioned fun of the sort people had before we all became wealthy newspaper magnates, going around […]
I wanted to like Julie Holland’s opinion pieceon “Medicating Women’s Feelings” in the New York Times yesterday, but I couldn’t. Her first sentence in a piece about the dangers of prescribing women medications for normal feelings is “Women are moody.” By and large she explains important issues surrounding “women’s emotionality” and the how we pathologize […]
Marvel just unmasked its newest superhero and the big twist isn’t just that it’s a woman — it’s that Gwen Stacy is Spider-Woman. You may remember Gwen — she was Peter Parker’s (aka Spider-Man) ex-girlfriend, most recently played by Emma Stone in “The Amazing Spider-Man” (and personally, my pick for who Spider-Man should have ended up […]
Rumor has it, Jamie Dornan does not want to play Christian Grey in the “Fifty Shades” sequels, apparently because he had no chemistry with Dakota Johnson and his wife is not super psyched that women all over the world are masturbating to his visage. But I can’t imagine that the producers of the movie were stupid […]
