Life Without Kids Means More Arctic Monkeys Concerts

Jamie Peck — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:37:00 EDT

Movies, nice dinners and indie rock concerts are the new face of childlessness, at least according to a piece in this month's Details titled "The No-Baby Boom," the latest of many magazine articles about the gradual decrease in "worldwide" eagerness to reproduce. Using his own childless existence as anecdotal anchor, author Brian Frazer posits the steady rise in childless couples around the world (but especially in the U.S.) as a social trend in which it is both easy and fun to participate: "You could stress over starting a college fund, or you could consider that you can get a vasectomy at Planned Parenthood for less than the cost of a Bugaboo Cameleon stroller." Sounds like an easy choice! Let's examine this hot new phenomenon further. More »

Anna North — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:00:00 EST

Jeff Gordinier's piece in Details on "The Remasculated Man" is less obnoxious than it could be, but it still reveals how difficult it is to talk about modern masculinity without falling back on lame testicular cliches. More »

Reading Details' "The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl" should probably offend me as a woman and a Jew, but it's as a journalist that I'm most offended. Still, could Details be more misogynistic than Maxim? There's strong evidence. More »

Dudes Frightened Of Duplicitious, Kid-Coveting Women Are Opting For Vasectomies

Jessica G. — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:00:00 EDT

Women! We're all just trying to trick clueless men into "accidentally" impregnating us so that we can steal their money. Well at least that's what the dudes interviewed for this Details article about the trend of young men getting vasectomies think. Writer Richard Morgan calls babies conceived by duplicitous females "oopses," using Bridget Moynahan as an example of a celebrity "oops." Morgan found one Tim Vass, "a 34-year-old technical writer in Florida, [who] got snipped in May 2007 after a half-dozen pregnancy scares, including what he says were two attempted oopsings. Both of the latter were one-night stands; he says one woman admitted she didn't know who the father was and the other demanded a DNA test that proved her wrong." More »

Fabio On George Clooney: "He Is A Dog Whose Noise Is Worse Than His Bite"

Jennifer — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST

"I was using the industry. I used the fashion industry, the whole business, for money, for chicks, for a lifestyle. But I never let them use me. And now they think I'm still desperate for a job, for work. Like I'll do anything. I don't care if I'm never on TV again." Ah, how we love the smell of bitterness in the morning! Especially when it emanates from the lips of the one, the only...Fabio. The "hunk" is profiled in this month's issue of Details magazine, and if you think he's a little pissy about the fashion industry, he's downright disgusted by George Clooney. And what, you might ask, could these two men possibly have to do with one another? Glad you asked! More »

'Details' Cover Boy Brad Pitt Hates Paris Hilton; Gets "Warm" Often

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 14:30:00 EDT

On Paris Hilton's quest for fame:

This Paris Hilton quest for fame...she's blissfully obvious. Oh my god, we've been away for...Where were we? We hadn't seen television for...like a month. I'm probably exaggerating. And we just got back to the United States. And we turned on CNN. And on comes Paris Hilton, going to jail. And so we just turned it off again.
