Miley Cyrus has, according to herself, staked a large part of her identity in being queer, and that’s fine. She was also in a decade-long hetero relationship with one Liam Hemsworth, and that’s fine, too. But now, in a live Instagram with her new boyfriend Cody Simpson, Cyrus suggests that maybe queerness is just a…

Cry time to start the week.

Since March, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have waged a bitter war in both the court and the press over a defamation lawsuit brought about by the actor against Heard, his ex-wife. The complaint stems from a December 2018 op-ed published in the Washington Post, in which Heard discusses the aftermath of coming forward…

The New York Times’ weekly short story series, Modern Love, is noteworthy for its nuance and contemporary understanding of intimacy. Amazon Prime’s adaptation is something more sinister: an overtly sentimental show in which under-utilized A-list actors (Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Dev Patel) interpret eight stories…

Sunday Riley, the maker of the cult—and extremely pricey—skincare product Good Genes, has been found by the Federal Trade Commission to have misled its customers “by posting fake reviews of the company’s products on a major retailer’s website, at the CEO’s direction, and by failing to disclose that the reviewers were…

“Last February, I was working as a waitress in Downtown Manhattan at a taqueria,” freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told a crowd of 25,000 Bernie Sanders supporters in New York City on Saturday afternoon, revisiting a story that played a major role in her own campaign. “I worked shoulder to shoulder with…

Kristin Doute of Vanderpump Rules, who just last month broke things off with her sentient beard of a boyfriend Brian Carter, has announced that she is writing a book about dating. I can’t think of anyone more under-qualified to do so—with the very real exception of cast mate Scheana Shay—and yet, I cannot wait to get…

Was there a time when celebrities weren’t incredibly boring to look at? I ask, mostly, because Lindsay Lohan was photographed in Hell’s Kitchen wearing a pastel pink sheath dress and matching pumps to promote her pop-up nightclub, Elevate, which is located somewhere in the abyss of the Playboy Club. The outfit was…

When the MeToo movement began, many women I know were unsurprised at the deluge of stories that seemed to confirm that nearly all of us have experienced some kind of sexual harassment, assault, or rape. Far more discomfiting was the personal discovery that began to unfurl, the sense that things that had happened to us…

For the 36,000 people living in and around Paradise, California, the Camp Fire is a definitive moment that cleaved life into a before period and an after one.

Corporate America loves a training seminar, and God only knows how many of those training seminars are an absolute nightmare. Case in point: whatever Ernst and Young, a global accounting firm, was doing telling women “Don’t flaunt your body―sexuality scrambles the mind (for men and women).”

The other Trump failson recently sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro to defend his father and to whine about just how unfair it all is. Namely, that Hunter Biden was, in his words, “enriching himself off his father’s position.” Sound familiar? Much like Don Jr., Eric was this close to having an…

Theme parks are powerful. They’ve not only ruined the film and television industries (see: Disney), but propped up something new (and more nefarious?) in their place—Zooey Deschanel’s relationship with aspiring magician and self-described “dog dad” Jonathan Scott. Jinkies! People reports that the couple came out as…

Adam Driver, the most debatably hot leading man in Hollywood right now, is the source material for a profile in The New Yorker. Given his status as a star of blockbusters (Kylo Ren in the Star Wars franchise) and weird, unexpected indie flicks, Broadway plays, and dark family comedies, he’s clearly a figure worthy of…
