Fat-shamer and real life Greenberg Kenneth Krause has finally issued an apology to Jennifer Livingston, the LaCrosse reporter who Krause thinks is just too fat for TV. And by "issued an apology," what we really mean is that he apologized in that classically frustrating "sorry if you were hurt by that totally…
Earlier today, the hosts of Good Morning America had the pleasure of sharing their news desk with Stephen Colbert who was out promoting his new book America Again: Rebecoming the Greatness We Never Werent. Colbert handled himself with his usual wit and confidence, though that might have been because he's been around…
This morning's GMA featured a segment on bra fitting and good for them. We spend so much our lives strapping down our fun bags that we might as well be comfortable and yet so many women aren't. A lot of us are wearing our bras too high, a lot of us are wearing 'em too loose. Our over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders are…
Oh. My. Gosh, y'all. Perpetual teenager and American hero Taylor Swift is gonna be on Nightline tonight and GMA was nice enough to show us a preview that covers pretty much everything that you'd be tuning in to find out about. And don't worry, it's not some boring fluff piece either. ABC anchor/desperate suck-up…
Earlier this month, Katie wrote a post about a Russian man who proposed to his girlfriend by faking his own death in an accident. For those of you who thought that was the worst possible thing you could do to someone who loves you, think again. An American pilot has given that crazy Russian romantic a run for his…
Today Show executive producer Jim Bell revealed—for the first time publicly—that the decision to dump Ann Curry from her co-anchor position was 100% his call and had nothing to do with Matt Lauer being a huge bitch. Curry got the position in the first place, he says, because she had "earned it," but...
Aimee Copeland, the 24-year-old woman who made headlines after she lost her hands and most of her legs to a flesh eating bacterial infection (known as necrotizing fasciitis) that she sustained in a zip-lining accident last Spring, has now recovered enough to make press appearances and talk about her nightmarish…
Original Bachelorette Trista Sutter (née Rehn) was on today's Good Morning America to discuss her recent "pre-40" makeover for which she received, among other things, a breast augmentation and eye lift. While news coverage of plastic surgery procedures is generally cringe-worthy, this segment was particularly…
Nearly three months after announcing her diagnosis with myelodysplastic syndromes (M.D.S), Good Morning America's Robin Roberts is beginning her leave of absence from the show in order to devote time to her treatment. Roberts was slated to finish the week, but family issues have forced her to start her leave…
We first wrote about Modeling Camp back in early July after a brief piece about the summer camp where teen girls are taught to model ran in The New Yorker. The camp franchise has actually been in existence since the mid '90s and has locations in several states, but seems to have only recently been picking up press…
While there are some couples who can pull off weddings that are undeniably enjoyable — Friends! Open bars! Dancing! — it's no secret that, more often than not, being a wedding guest is a total pain in the ass. The amount of money that you have to sink into someone else's nuptials, what with the cost of travel and a…
Diana Nyad, the 62-year-old endurance swimmer attempting to be the first person to ever swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, was forced to end her quest this morning after a series of overnight circumstances created too dangerous of an environment, including the increasing presence of sharks and…
It seemed as if our little Ribrab Patterstein had emerged a phoenix from the ashes when he appeared on the Daily Show this past Monday with his posh suit, neat hair and charmingly self-deprecating attitude, but sadly things are not looking so bright and new after his second post-Krimsy Stewball breakup interview,…
We have got to do something about the Canadian border, y'all. I dunno what — build a wall? Form violent gangs to scare visiting Canadians back into the True North? Place signs in the windows of businesses proclaiming "We Don't Serve Poutine?" Whatever We The People decide, we better act fast because the Canadians are…
The United Bates of America — a show that, like its nightmarish predecessor 19 Kids and Counting, follows a long haired lady and her moon-faced husband on their quest to fill the world with their white, blond, Christian children — premieres on TLC this upcoming Monday and, as a part of their promotional tour, all 21…
Practically all of America is smitten with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and why the hell shouldn't we be? On the likability index, the tiny powerful gymnast is ranked somewhere between popping bubble wrap and puppy parties, so it makes sense that she's claimed our hearts and minds.
Today in sadface, more and more teenage girls have taken to wearing shapewear underneath clothes on a daily basis, even wearing it beneath their athletic uniforms, because they "don't want to stand out for the wrong reasons," i.e. be seen as fat among their peers. In fact, one of the hottest teen trends (ranked…
Ah, le divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is so inconvenient, so uncomfortable, so... lacking in continental breakfasts. Well, at least it was until one Dutch entrepreneur/genius named Jim Halfens decided to open the Divorce Hotel, a one stop shop (actually, there are six branches conveniently scattered across the…
Youth! That cruel and elusive mistress who, no matter how hard we chase her, will always outrun us. We can pump ourselves full of injectables and have doctors pull our skin so tight that hippies will use our faces at drum circles, yet still, STILL, our bones are slowly crumbling to dust as we march along the steady…
