On a recent Friday night, I arrived home from a social engagement and set my alarm for 4 am, because I needed to call House Speaker Paul Ryan. It’s become a lonely, private habit, this last two weeks, calling Paul Ryan. Specifically, I dial his constituent hotline numbers, all four of them—one in DC and three in…
Earlier today, Miami-based DJ Scott Melker posted a story on Facebook from his time at the University of Pennsylvania—time that he shared with none other than First Son-hopeful Donald J. Trump Jr. And according to Melker, Don Jr. (and his father, for that matter) behaves pretty much exactly like you would expect.
Over the past several decades, F. Murray Abraham and Mandy Patinkin have used their classical training (Abraham studied under the great Uta Hagen, and Patinkin attended Juilliard) to become two of the most respected and prolific actors of their generation. F. Murray Abraham IS Antonio Salieri! Mandy Patinkin IS Ché…
It’s always seemed as though The Rock is generally more beloved than Vin Diesel by the culture at large, but apparently on the set of Fast and Furious, The Rock gets kicked.
Reports this week claim I Am Cait, the reality show chronicling Caitlyn Jenner’s life after coming out as transgender, has been canceled after two eight-episode seasons.
Tabloids like Star, OK!, and In Touch have covered Jennifer Aniston’s countless pregnancies for years. Some were miracles, some were twins, and more than a few were surprises, but they all had one thing in common: they were fake. But after years of sitting silently as tabloids made up stories about her uterus—and just…
Because I am a masochist, I used to watch the aimless, Starbucks-drenched trainwreck that is Morning Joe every morning. After waking up, I would let the resentful squawking between Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Willie Giest (whom I otherwise love), and whatever poor soul they convinced to join them provide a…
In addition to being a creative tour de force, Beyoncé’s new visual album, Lemonade is notable for essentially being an extended narrative about her husband Jay Z cheating on her. The album begins with vague references to “whispers,” but things become very clear very soon. Very clear as in Beyoncé asks “Are you…
Is there anything people wouldn’t believe about Ted Cruz? A few months ago, someone sent Jezebel a tip about the rising Republican presidential candidate’s days as a Princeton undergraduate. It was a story that seemed both unlikely and physiologically improbable, but I figured I might as well ask around, just in case.
In an interview with TMZ, NBA player Matt Barnes suggested that he might be dating Rihanna, which is funny because Rihanna says they’ve never even met.
The year 2005 was a playground for pop musicians; the internet was not yet mainstreamed to the degree it is now, so album sales had not yet declined, and MTV still aired videos. Yet, by 2005, gossip sites were hitting their stride simultaneously, and Lindsay Lohan was feeling the burn.
Are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner—aka Bennifer: Round 2—getting divorced? If you believe the tabloids, then yes, they are.
The Internet, an enormous mechanism for creating unfounded rumors that alarm your parents and grandparents, has done it again. This time it’s the “Game of 72,” a diabolical contest in which teens run away from home for several days, just to see if they can. Except—surprise, surprise—the Game of 72 is not a real thing.
If you happen to be #Navy and/or have 50 Google alerts for various variations/misspellings of Rihanna's name, you already know that rumors have been literally flying about Riri and Leo D. possibly hooking up. They were both on St. Bart's for New Year's Eve, you see, and while at first we assumed that, if true, it was…
Filming for 2016's mega-mega-blockbuster Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice is motoring right along, preparing to destroy villains and box offices the world over. Ben Affleck is cast as the controversial Batman, of course, and Henry Cavill will reprise his role as a detrimentally uncontroversial Superman. Now,…
Ring the alarm, it's Beyoncé and Jay-Z divorce rumor #1928347123: according to reports, the queen of pop has been shopping for apartments in New York City. Alone.
Over the weekend Page Six published a long report on the supposed demise of Beyoncé and Jay Z's marriage with intel from "a source who has been close to Beyoncé and Jay Z for years."
The Sheen men— Martin, Charlie and Emilio — are a prime example of American celebrity nobility, so, to mock the absurd way actual nobles and royals are still celebrated in certain frivolous, Grinch-shaped (concentrate on the bottom and imagine a Santa cap) islands around the world, we ought to spend this Sunday…
