Naomi Campbell, whose formerly excessive-seeming, germaphobic air-travel precautions now just look downright reasonable, launched a YouTube “talk show” show today, No Filter with Naomi. I say “talk show,” in quotes, because the live-stream is what every talk show is nowadays: A celebrity streaming from home from a…
Westworld’s latest episode, “Mother of Exiles,” brought forth some of the circuitous mindfucks the show’s most ardent fans tend to love torturing themselves over. Its climax revealed one of Season 3's greatest mysteries so far—which host brains are occupying those formerly human bodies and why—but not before it…
With the coronavirus crisis worsening in the UK and around the world, Queen Elizabeth II took the rare step on Sunday of issuing a special address to the nation—one of just a few she’s done outside of her annual Christmas Day speech. Unsurprisingly, she turned to the metaphor that has dominated in recent days, as the…
In a confessional on Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project, while discussing David Sheppard’s unfair sentencing, West muses: “I understand that somebody who is involved in something should get time.” Her point, ultimately, is that people who are simply accessories to crimes shouldn’t be charged with longer and…
These long days and nights of quarantine have made us start doing things we probably wouldn’t, under normal circumstances.

Despite predictions that next year will see a baby boom of infants conceived while there was nothing to do but sit inside and bone, the depressing reality of stay-at-home orders has led many to discover why many zoo animals have such difficulty mating in captivity. Covid-19 has left most of us hornier for our next…
On March 23, just after Ontario, Canada declared non-essential businesses would be closed in an attempt to slow the spread of covid-19, a 20-year-old student named Racquell Fogah tweeted her dismay: “The beauty supply store isn’t considered an essential service?????” She followed that up with another tweet: a clip of…
I recently asked my husband what we would do if we both got severely ill with coronavirus and couldn’t take care of our toddler. Under any other circumstances requiring backup childcare, the answer would be simple: my dad, my son’s grandfather, who lives ten minutes away. Now, Grandpa is emphatically off-limits as a…
Sigh. Right now, everyone is trying their hardest, I guess, so the scrappy return of The Wendy Williams Show was to be expected and is entirely forgivable.
