A tenth-grade girl died Thursday, April 21, from injuries sustained during a fight in a bathroom of a Delaware high school. The 16-year-old girl, who attended Wilmington’s Howard High School of Technology, was involved in a “physical altercation” with a “few female students” on Thursday morning. After the fight, she…
Touted by producer Jenni Konner as an episode you must watch live, Sunday night’s Girls was an episode just about Marnie. Before it aired, Allison Williams said she was the “most proud of” it, suggesting that it would make Marnie-haters more sympathetic to her character’s plight.
The signifiers of upper middle class, white male midlife crisis have shifted across the past few generations with a lava-slow determination, time and culture churning on itself and ossifying into a whole new level of hell. Boomers who bought fast cars and unexpectedly took up squash or long-distance running evolved…
On Sunday, Caroline Paul wrote an op-ed for the New York Times, asking a question whose importance has been exponentially growing on me lately. “Why Do We Teach Girls That It’s Cute to Be Scared?” she asks, opening the piece:
Tina Fey is working with Girls writer Sarah Heyward on the gambling comedy You Bet! which is based on, wait for it.........a Good Housekeeping article.
Those of us with the dexterity of an inebriated giraffe are prone to rejoice at innovations that make at-home manicures less of a catastrophe.

According to a new study from the United Nations Development Programme (which we saw via Quartz), teen pregnancy rates in West Africa are surging. The increase in these rates, already some of the highest in the world, is in large part because of the 2014 Ebola crisis.
Malia Obama may have a new job, and she’s not just flipping burgers or restocking a dressing room at Target like other teens. No, Malia may be hard-working, but she’s reportedly got a pretty cushy gig: interning on Girls.
The upcoming 27th season of The Simpsons is getting really grim, with a storyline that finds Homer and Marge legally separating. I knew Lena Dunham would be at the center of this.
Lena Dunham, in character as Girls character Hannah Horvath, joined the writing staff of Late Night With Seth Meyers for a few very painful minutes: "I'm just excited to be here and get this show out of its incredible funk," she says with a smile.
Grimes teamed up with Bleachers, Jack Antonoff's solo side project, to release "Entropy," a twinkly track that premiered on last night's episode of Girls.
Last night during the credits of Girls, the show debuted St. Vincent's "Teenage Talk," one of multiple songs written specifically for this season of the series.

Here it is, because we have to talk about it: a character on Girls had an abortion, and it was very chill. Adam's new girlfriend Mimi-Rose politely declined his request to go for a jog, telling him, "I can't go for a run because I had an abortion yesterday." The scene that followed was both laudable in its…

Not even butt eating could lure audiences to Girls. The HBO darling (which has just gotten renewed for a fifth season) had its smallest season premiere ever this Sunday, down 40% from last year's. Guess Julianne Escobedo Shepherd wasn't the only one not watching Girls.
