On Thursday morning the nominations for the 66th Emmy Awards were announced by Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly. Luckily for Carson, The Voice was nominated. Luckily for everyone else, so was Game of Thrones – which got the most nods – as well as newcomers Fargo and True Detective.
OK, it's that time of year again. You're going to make that same dumb list of resolutions you make every year. You're going to post it on your Facebook page and your cousin is going to "like" it and two friends from work are going to comment "Amazing; go for it!"
SPOILERS NO DOY.
And I tell you baby, it was easy coming back to you, once I fingered an owl.
Loretta Lynn, Patricia Wald, Oprah Winfrey, Sally Ride (posthumously) and Gloria Steinem are all receiving Presidential Medals of Freedom this year. Steinem's probably like, "Eh, whatever, I was already named Queen of Feminism by BUST magazine and received a Golden Bra. I'll put this one in the bathroom."
At last week's Taste of Chicago, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel took the opportunity to put that dance major at Sarah Lawrence College to good use. Please note how the former White House Chief of Staff slowly undresses himself as the beat goes on: First the tie, then roll up the sleeves. That's how we should all get down.
Thursday morning's announcement of Emmy Award nominations went even further in proving that television is the place to be if you're a woman: Kerry Washington got nominated for her role on Shonda Rhimes's fantastically soapy Scandal.
Last night's Academy Awards were a bit of a shitshow—as massive, shambling, designed-by-committee live ceremonies tend to be. As far as I could tell, the theme of the night was "James Bond for no reason/the 2003 movie version of Chicago/indulging Seth MacFarlane's broken dreams of becoming a razzle-dazzle…
Yael Kohen is the author of We Killed, a recent oral history of the double standards leveled on female comics. Kohen has an interesting piece on The Cut today about the fascination/accolades for celebrities who drastically change their bodies for a role—and how it is particularly significant in the case of A-list…
Project Runway star Christian Siriano drew inspiration from the interior of Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre for his Fall 2013 collection, which evokes the gilded and embossed silhouettes of the Russian opera house. It was accompanied by a rock opera score produced by Siriano's boyfriend, Brad Walsh.
In the wise words of American poet laureate Fergie, "Wear them gold and diamonds rings/All them things don't mean a thing." After sending out a few powdery all-white looks to open the show, renowned wedding dress designer Lhullier followed up the first few designs with dramatic gowns in saturated jewel tones, most…
Stuart told the press that this season's collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was modeled after the British model Stella Tennant and her friends ("I was thinking about the beautiful dinners and the charades she and her friends play, and the great performances they see at the end of the night").
Nicole Miller's fall 2013 runway presentation at this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York answered the time-honored question: What's a one-time Hot Topic-clad 15-year-old to wear now that she's all grown up? Vintage-inspired boxy menswear in shades of black and plaid, obviously. Plus some granny brocade and…
Her name is Olivia Rose Espinal and she lives in Queens and she just might be the very first baby born this year! Hooray for babies! Way to come out at this real specific time, baby! You did it!!!
Personally, 2011 was my shittiest year of all time, 2012 was exactly halfsies (ultimate shit-show v. best-year-ever), and 2013 is...TBD. Now I'm no mathemagician, but I'm hoping I can keep up that trajectory and make the next 364 days the 100% BEST NONSTOP PARTY YEAR YET. So what better way to manifest that shit than…
Well, it's that time of year again—time to say RIP to gross, rickety Old-Man-Baby New Year 2012 and mop up the afterbirth of red, slippery, mewling little new Baby New Year 2013. And with the flip-flapping of the calendar comes your weird superstitious notion that you're suddenly going to have the fortitude to do all…
As 2012 comes to an end, and we're all still standing (high five!), we must look forward to the emotional/financial/spiritual riches of 2013, a time so far away the Mayans couldn't even dream of it. We're in the future now, friends, and so we must excel and Be the Best We Can Be in Twenty ThirTee.
