So last year, Maxim named Sarah Jessica Parker the unsexiest woman alive. Recently, SJP responded to the unfortunate accolade, saying "It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger. It upset him [Matthew], because it has to do with his judgment too...Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking...It's condemnation, it's insane." Today, Guardian columnist Ariel Leve wonders why Parker let it bother her in the first place. "What makes no sense," Leve writes, "is how someone like Sarah Jessica Parker - such a sensible person - could take this Maxim list to heart? Why would she expect to fit the ideals of its audience?"More »

The Little Mermaid On Broadway: It's A Sinker
The Little Mermaid is one of best Disney movies. Sure, it's mildly demeaning to women, with a heroine who literally loses her voice and all, but you gotta love villianess Ursula the Sea Witch (Bitch). And also, the music rocks: Who amongst us does not know every single word to "Part of Your World"? [Me. -Ed.] Well, there's now a Broadway musical adaptation of the film, and, if the critics are piling on. (Frankly, it's a wonder they managed to write any reviews, considering they seemed to be banging their heads against their Playbills at the show's opening last night). Their takes, after the jump.
