Irin Carmon — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:20:05 EDT

A profile of Megyn Kelly today devotes considerable time to trying to decipher her ideology. (She claims not to have one). Kelly is, however, rather sympathetic to her corporate sister Cindy Adams' claim that sexually harassed women shouldn't sue. More »

Judith Regan Vs. Rupert Murdoch: Who Has The Bigger Cock?

Jessica G. — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:30:00 EST

Former HarperCollins imprint editor and assistant taunting "crazy bitch" Judith Regan finally filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NewsCorp, HarperCollins' parent company yesterday, almost a year after she was fired for planning a certain O.J. Simpson confessional and also for alleged anti-Semitic remarks. Regan, who reportedly used to scream, "I have the biggest cock in the building" is brandishing her figurative phallus with this suit. She accuses Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp of launching a smear campaign against her because of her affair with former Giuliani police commissioner Bernie Kerik and alleges that a "senior News Corp. executive told her he believed she had information about Kerik that could hurt Giuliani's campaign and she should lie to federal investigators."

How Rupert Murdoch Is Bad For Women: 'Fashion Journal' Smackdown Edition

Moe — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:17:00 EDT

You asked us to find a way News Corp.'s acquisition of Dow Jones was bad for women, and in today's Wall Street Journal we finally found our answer in the form of not one, but two separate lady-penned "Personal Journal" section stories exhorting the womyns to wear uncomfortable clothes in the workplace, even when it's a workplace called your couch. Advises author and veteran apparel industry reporter Teri Agins on telecommuting chic:

By all means, dress comfortably, but get out of those sloppy sweats, pajamas and terry-cloth slippers...ladies, keep your hair coiffed and put on some lipstick.

But just alongside her on page D8 she is so totally one-upped by longtime hospitality industry reporter Christina Binkley, who manages to find a blogger who wears stilettos on the job for the "intimidation factor."

At 5'9½ in bare feet, a pair of heels leaves Kristin Bentz, who runs a fashion-investment blog, towering over many men in a room. "I totally use the shoes for the intimidation factor — for women and for men," she says.

Which Simpson Wore It Best?

Moe — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 09:45:07 EDT

Just in time for the Simpsons movie, the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar tempts readers to ask the probing question, "Who wore it best? Jessica Simpson? Or the Simpsons?" So there's that cute little coincidence. They're both wearing a Versace gown, timed to the tenth anniversary of Versace's death, and in case you didn't miss the nineties enough, we scanned a brand new Versace ad in which Kate Moss wears it too. It's all such a rollicking good raft of inside jokes and funny little coincidences! Also a coincidence: that "The Simpsons," who make their big-screen debut on Friday, was in large part what turned News Corp from a piece of crap into a feared-and-respected international media behemoth that is now on the precipice of taking over the world or something. Now if we could only get Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng in a "Don't Have A Cow, Man" T-shirt and O.J. Simpson in one that said, "If I Did It...Doh!" More »
