DIY Abortions Will Be 2012's Hottest New Trend

Erin Gloria Ryan — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:20:00 EST

Hey, girls, wanna know what's going to be hot in 2012? With funding being slashed for Planned Parenthood left and right and a group of nutjobs who think zygotes and corporations are people running for President, next year it's going to be super hard to afford a fancy storebought abortion. What to do? Do it yourself, like these trendsetting New York City ladies! More »

Heathen Pink Bibles Pulled From Shelves Due To Nefarious Planned Parenthood Connection

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:50:00 EST

Nearly every product imaginable, from Band-Aids to KitchenAid mixers, is now available in pink, and Americans are constantly encouraged to buy these items to support the fight against breast cancer. So why is a Christian bookstore furiously pulling pink Bibles from its shelves? Because they raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which in turn funds Planned Parenthood's breast cancer programs. More »

Congress Prepares To Debate 'Let Women Die' Bill

Erin Gloria Ryan — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:50:00 EDT

Get ready to have your blood pressure raised: The overwhelmingly rich old white guys who run things in this country are about to start debating what should go on between your legs again. After quiet summer of talking about how everything that Barack Obama has ever done is killing jobs, conservatives are gearing up to pimp yet another anti-choice bit of legislation. And it's a doozy.

Are You A Cook Or A Baker?

Anna North — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:55:00 EDT

I do not like baking. I won't say that I hate it, because one time I made a batch of vegan cupcakes that were pretty delicious, and I keep a cupcake tin around in case I ever want to make them again. But that cupcake tin has now been through at least three moves without being used — mostly because despite the fact that it (sometimes) results in delicious treats, I find baking incredibly stressful.

When Do You Realize You're Not At Home Anymore?

Anna North — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:55:00 EDT

I live approximately 2,800 miles away from where I grew up, and I can go months without thinking about the distance at all. Then something jolts me into the recognition that I'm not from here. This summer, it's camp. More »

The PR honcho is so over revenge. In the contemporary Panopticon of social media, reality television, and e-mail forwards, Cutrone's rule is "don't ever put anything in writing and never say anything when anyone's around." Except for, apparently, this interview. More »

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:30:00 EDT

Almost as though such a thing were akin to a unicorn sighting, Life has a gallery of pictures of models eating. Mostly it looks like the ladies are trying to grab bites despite work demands. Sounds familiar. [Life.com] More »

This Week In Tabloids: Angelina Is Thin, Happy & Tummy-Tucked

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Welcome back to Midweek Madness, our roundup for tabloid "news." This week, because Angelina Jolie emerged from her European safehouse and appeared on the red carpet in New York looking fantastic, she is on three of the five weekly covers. Star and Us focus on her physique; Life & Style does a positive "How We Make It Work" relationship story, even though a month ago, the mag claimed Brad and Angie were at the "breaking point" and fellow Bauer Publishing title In Touch just did a cover with the words "Have They Split?" Anyway: The Spears sisters conquer the other two covers, though the stories are pretty yawn-inducing. Intern Margaret assists as we comb through the latest issues of OK!, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump. More »

This Week In Tabloids: Jen, John, Brad, Tom, Katie, Brit... And Olympic Gymnasts

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Welcome back to Midweek Madness! Let's play One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others, with Us as the obvious winner. While the other weekly covers feature Jen Aniston, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Britney Spears, Us went with the daring choice of Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. Too bad the gymnastics finals aired last night, making a lot of this story old news! What else is going on this week? Brit's got her body back; Tom and Katie are living separate lives; Jen turns to Brad in her time of need; Brad storms off from Angie. Intern Margaret assists as we listen to the irritating sounds emanating from OK!, Life & Style, In Touch and Star, after the jump. More »

What I (L)earned On My Summer Vacation…

Moe — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:40:00 EDT

A story in today's Wall Street Journal examines the intensifying competitiveness of the lifeguarding job market. Beach lifeguards in California make $20 an hour and barf during lifeguard training, which is like boot camp sort of, and instructors ask things like "Are your fun buckets full?" and no one answers. And while this has nothing to do with that, I'm going to tell you about the time I was a lifeguard, back in high school. The high school summer job, you see, is a moribund tradition, but back in Generation X dead-end minimum wage jobs were relatively easy to find and in middle-class suburbs it was expected you had one. What the fuck else were you going to do? (Catholics don't do camp.) And fuck if lifeguarding wasn't the best fucking job in the universe. You get paid to sit. And tan. And thus enjoy the rare opportunity that is looking good in a swimsuit. And occasionally clean things that aren't particularly dirty to begin with, because they've got chlorine bumping up against them all day. I started at $4.65 and worked my way up to $10 as a "pool operator." More »

Life & Style tries to Get More Stylish...and Fails.

eurotrash — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 10:15:32 EST

Who could tell "Who Wears it Best" in this week's Life & Style? In their regular fashion column Paris Hilton apparently wears her Chanel necklace better than Vanessa Minnillo wears her earrings but we'd never know because said necklace is MIA in the photo. Below that we get a comparison of Judith Lieber clutches, both of which are largely obscured by a caption box. More »
