Keshia Knight Pulliam Fired From “Celebrity Apprentice” For Refusing To Call Bill Cosby

Last night was the premiere of “The Celebrity Apprentice” and Keshia Knight Pulliam was the first star given the boot. Knight Pulliam was “fired” from the show because she refused to call her “Cosby Show” co-star Bill Cosby to ask him to donate money to some stupid challenge they were doing for the show. Though […]

Here’s The Super-Catchy Song In The Hanes Ad That’s Playing Before All Of Your YouTube Videos

There’s a Hanes commercial that’s playing before all of my YouTube videos these days that features, in typical underwear-ad fashion, very, very fit women doing silly dances and backward somersaults in their soft-filtered, pastel-and-white bedrooms while not getting dressed (but pretending to be in the process of getting dressed).

What Do You Do When The Things You Love Don’t Match Up With Your Politics?

I already knew, without acknowledging it, exactly, that Kurt Vonnegut and women were an awkward mix at best. Kurt Vonnegut didn’t write women well — he wrote women who weren’t fully people, exactly, but more a physical manifestation of the mystery women seemed to him to be. It’s not to say that he didn’t get along […]

Make It Stop: “I’ve Never Had A Boyfriend & I’m Rarely Attracted To Anyone”

I’m 28, and have never have a boyfriend, and I do not find attraction in other people. I won’t say that I *can’t* find attraction in people, because there have been a handful of guys that I’ve fallen head-over-heels for, but of course, those endeavors have never amounted to anything. I get crushes maybe once […]
