Emor., which centered on civil asset forfeiture laws following the government-seized goods that Charles Emor—the founder of a special-needs school—stole…
There's a lot going on in China, so it may come as a surprise that when the country's two highest governing boards met in Beijing last week, the hottest topic of discussion wasn't the recent terrorist attack that left 33 dead or the country's economy; it was a South Korean soap opera that's been sweeping the nation…
Irene and Alice have been friends for 94 years. NINETY. FOUR. (That should help you put that weird Facebook friendship with your boss' ex-wife in perspective, yeah?)

Still think Robin Thicke's rapey song "Blurred Lines" was the Song of 2013? Mmmm...might want to check out this insane supercut from our friends at Stereogum.
Did you hear? Thanks to Scandal and new novel "The First Affair," having sex with the president is totally having a moment right now. Fine, have your moment, Sex with the President — but if we're really going ahead with this trend in pop culture, I think we better fully commit to it.
Pink's new single "Just Give Me a Reason" is catchy, and the video is a kinda dreamy like a "So You Think You Can Dance" contemporary dance routine. Featuring tattoos from her husband Carey Hart, and vocals from Nate Ruess of the band fun, it might make you cry. Or lull you to sleep. You be the judge!
The "woman child" is having a real moment. She's an increasingly prominent and powerful breed of pop-culture female who seems to be aging backwards.

If you've been under a rock for the last couple of days, I am here to inform you that we can all calm down now because Jennifer Aniston has finally gotten engaged. If you haven't been under a rock, you have been inundated with hideously titled articles that make me want to cringe. CNN did a photo spread called …
Has anyone noticed that "vagina," the trisyllabic word for a vagina, has been popping up everywhere recently?

Taking stunt-journalism to its nadir, one dude's watching Julie and Julia every day for a year and blogging it. Post-modern marvel or laziest, most cynical gimmick since the Kardashian Kard? You be the judge!

Though it's easy to poke fun at the obsessive nature of Twilight fans, Christine Spines of the LA Times notes that for some Twihards, an addiction to sparkly vampires is actually destroying their lives.
