The Gowns Were All Sheer Eleganza at the Latin Billboard Awards

Did you watch the Latin Billboards last night? I watched some of my favorites—ROMEO, J.Lo’s Selena tribute with la familia Quintanilla, above—but switched somewhere between the unrepentant and perpetual uplifting of boring-ass Enrique Iglesias and the baroque guitar duel between Juanes and Carlos Santana (both are…
Whatever, Jon Krasinski and Anna Kendrick Are Great on Lip Sync Battle
Not one week ago, Jezebel’s own Kate Dries laid out a very solid argument for why Lip Sync Battle should not be a show. “Hypocrisy!” you scream. “Then why is Jim Halpert doing a marionette dance at the top of this post?!”
Lots of Leg and Lots of Dads at the MTV Movie Awards
The 2015 MTV Movie Awards aired last night, terribly timed to the premiere of Game of Thrones. Judging from the red carpet alone, it really lived up to its reputation as the obnoxious, lazy, basic baby sibling of the awards show family. This year's red carpet was a little subdued, featuring lame styling—not outright…
Shade Court: A Tidal Wave, Shady Angels and E! Online Fails Again
Quite a few brands appeared in Shade Court this week. Some did much better than others. Still, to all the brand strategists and social media managers and plucky interns out there, I have one suggestion: stick to what you know. It’s a slight spin on that ancient adage, “stay in your damn lane.” If you make underwear,…
Here's Definitive Proof that J.Lo is the Queen of the Universe
Last night on American Idol, judge Jennifer Lopez debuted her new song, "Feel the Light," from the soundtrack to the animated kid's film Home.

The Boy Next Door Has People Hunting First Edition Copies of the Iliad
Apparently somebody went to see The Boy Next Door, because a bunch of people are trying to find that "first edition copy of the Iliad," a three-thousand-year-old work derived from oral tradition.
What The Boy Next Door Thinks a First Edition of The Iliad Looks Like
Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press circa 1439 A.D., and Homer's The Iliad was likely written around 762 B.C. Here's what Jennifer Lopez's new movie The Boy Next Door says a first edition of The Iliad looks like:
J.Lo, My Queen, Blasts the 'Cougar' Double Standard on Ellen
Jennifer Lopez is on the stump for her new film The Boy Next Door, and currently rumors abound that the divine 45-year-old is dating her 27-year-old costar, Ryan Guzman. On Ellen, she denied it, but went on to lodge a brilliant complaint against the dumbass notion that an older woman dating a much younger man is a…
Nah, Rihanna: A History of 'Vogue' Exploiting Queer People of Color
In 2008, Rihanna covered Madonna's "Vogue" for Fashion Rocks, the annual music-and-fashion-melding charity runway show. Accompanied by an elaborate stage show with ostrich feather-wielding buff dudes worthy of Madge herself, it was a fairly pitch-perfect interpretation of the 1990 single, no errant bouts of melisma…
