At this year's VH1 Divas concert, Katy Perry, Sugarland, Keri Hilson, Nicki Minaj and Paramore will perform for the troops through a USO partnership. We're all for the military tribute, but what's a "divas" concert without Mariah, Whitney, or Aretha? More »

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:00:00 EDT

On last night's season premiere of T&T, 4-year-old pageant contestant Makenzie initially seemed like a soul-eating, tantrum-throwing nightmare, but through her rubber-necking demands, you could see an assertive, take-no-shit attitude shining through. Sometimes brats grow up to be successful ball-busters. More »

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:30:00 EST

Last night on Larry King Live, Mariah tried to explain the term "diva." She started out making sense and then, somewhere along the line, cupcakes got involved. Oh, also: she stuck her finger in her cleavage and then smelled it. More »

"I Am A Princess" And, Apparently, A Narcissist

Sadie Stein — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:40:00 EDT

The other day, I saw a toddler on the subway sporting a rhinestone-bedecked t-shirt bearing the words "Baby Bitch. Bow Down." I declined her kind offer. But not because, like some people, I think she's ruining society. More »

Sarah Silverman doesn't like divas, whom she believes are nearly as broken as the women she sees at Hef's place while high with Bill Maher. (Hitler, by the way, wasn't a diva, just a cunt.) More »

A big story in the New York Times wonders whether the big-budget upcoming movie Charlie Wilson's War will be able to overcome the fact that it's about, like, history and politics and a seemingly obscure would-be footnote in Cold War history that fatefully happened to set the stage for the current War On Terror or whatever.

He convinced his colleagues to go into all this with the eminently rational statement: "The U.S. had nothing whatsoever to do with these people's decision to fight. ... But we'll be damned by history if we let them fight with stones." More »
