I had to cruelly rip myself from a rather satisfying Outlander binge to watch Stormy Daniels discuss having sex with Donald Trump, an experience that is essentially the complete opposite of Outlander. Or, if you removed all the hot Scot sex and left in only the 18th century amputation scenes, it was the exact same.…
Education Secretary and billionaire conservative donor Betsy DeVos sat down for an interview with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes last night, and it’s not entirely clear that she has a better understanding of the country’s education system than she did at her confirmation hearing, when she suggested that schools in places…
After private nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence leaked in 2014 (as part of the so-called “Fappening”), the actor characteristically didn’t mince words when reflecting on what went down. “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation,” she told Vanity Fair. She also described how it left her reeling.…
Oprah made her debut as a special contributor for CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday night, traveling to Michigan to interview 14 voters—half who voted for Trump, half who did not—to ask how they think our current president is doing. It’s all upsetting.
After a long hiatus from an official news desk, Oprah Winfrey has landed a job as a special contributor for CBS’ 60 Minutes. Nice timing.
Leah Remini’s A&E series about the Church of Scientology and its effects on its followers, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, premieres tonight and her press tour for it has been accordingly full of flames. To The Hollywood Reporter, Remini shared this anecdote in which she described giddy Scientologist Tom…
It’s a fresh week in the darkest timeline we’re all inhabiting together, and Donald Trump remains both deeply confused and a direct menace to women. In a 60 Minutes interview, he suggested that maybe his Supreme Court nominee will overturn Roe v. Wade: “They’ll have to go to another state.”
Since the outcome of last week’s general election, a hideous surge of hate crimes, racist rhetoric, and bullying has overtaken the nation. Swastikas glare from college dormitory doors. The Muslim community is threatened with unspeakable violence. And the Ku Klux Klan, gleeful in the wake of Trump’s win, is organizing…
Just kidding, Trump is pond scum. A few choice quotes:
Fallen wellness guru Belle Gibson appeared on the Australian version of 60 Minutes, where she was grilled by reporter Tara Brown who asked a series of questions relating to Gibson’s dire health history. Gibson became one of the Internet’s most famous healthy living bloggers after claiming that a mindful diet and…
Lara Logan's suspension from CBS over her report on Benghazi has been lifted and she will return to 60 Minutes when the show begins again in the fall.
In the aftermath of Lara Logan's egregious reporting on Benghazi, she and her producer have reportedly been asked to take a leave of absence from 60 Minutes.

One of the women from Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot is living in hiding after she escaped prosecution for protesting Vladimir Putin on the altar of Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral; last night she spoke with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes while in disguise, wearing a balaklava, the group's trademark mask.…
Researchers at Yale University's "baby lab" are finding that infants as young as three months old can not only tell the difference between "good" and "bad," but show a preference toward the former. The study—which will be featured on Sunday's episode of 60 Minutes—suggests that morality isn't learned, but innate.
Mike Wallace, the CBS newsman who interviewed celebrities, politicians, athletes, and just about any other public figure that somehow became newsworthy, died Saturday night in a Connecticut care facility at the age of 93. His hard-hitting sit-downs helped make 60 Minutes the most successful prime-time news show ever.…
Anderson Cooper interviewed Adele on 60 Minutes tonight, and it's hard to recall the last time someone so famous came off as so down-to-earth and like someone you'd actually want to be friends with. She and Anderson chat about everything from her love life (she's happy!) to her terrible stage fright to her love of…
On 60 Minutes last night, Meryl Streep talked about her new movie, The Iron Lady, and Morley Safer had the audacity to point out that she often plays strong-minded women. Streep countered: "No one has ever asked an actor, 'You're playing a strong-minded man…' We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions.…
After "serious complications" following a surgery, Andy Rooney is in the hospital. According to CBS, the 92-year-old's condition is stable, but the network declined to give further information. Three weeks ago, America's cranky grandfather delivered his last sign-off on 60 Minutes; he'd been reading his essays for 33…
We did it! We have finally reached the end of our journey through this week. Many of us will begin another work week tomorrow, but there is one of us who will not: Andy Rooney. Yes, tonight marks the old curmudgeon's final appearance on 60 Minutes. Are you looking forward to a world without Rooney or will you miss…
It's the end of an era: Andy Rooney has decided, after 33 years on the job, that he's going to stop doing his commentary segment at the end of every 60 Minutes. But don't worry the 93-year-old curmudgeon plans to keep his office at CBS; so his coworkers will probably continue to enjoy regular riffs on how computers…
