I’m very sorry to report that, while he has removed all the singing, the man adapting Les Misérables as a new BBC miniseries will not be adding back a bunch of carefree sex appeal. Fitting, probably, but still disappointing.

We tell dog parents stories in order to live.

In November, Macauley Culkin announced that the fans would choose his middle name, all they had to do was vote on his website, Bunny Ears. He said he’d make the adjustment in the new year, leaving “Carson” in the dust.

Life’s full of mysteries; on Thursday, Melania Trump returned from her husband’s impromptu visit to the troops in Iraq and descended from Air Force One wearing what appears to be a pair of leather pants. But are they?

The year is almost over. You aren’t working, and even if you are, you’re phoning it in as best you can. So why not take some time to catch up on some of Jalopnik’s best stories from 2018?

After exhausting the memetic value of Lady Gaga’s wily war cry in A Star Is Born’s signature track “Shallow,” the second most talked about song from the film’s soundtrack, “Why Did You Do That?” was instantly dismissed as frivolous pop on screen.

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s and there is not one goddamn thing happening in your office. Why not take a few minutes to watch Kelly Clarkson cover “Fancy” to celebrate Reba McEntire being honored by the Kennedy Center?

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day should ideally be one that gently eases us into the existential horror of yet another year spent on this increasingly dying planet, but on Thursday morning, Instagram decided to fuck with us all with an app update that no one asked for (and one which appeared to just be a…
