As everyday Americans endure the ongoing nightmare of being alive during a Trump presidency, a more rarified set of Americans are enjoying their own private Hell: Celebrity Big Brother, featuring former director of communications for the White House Office of the Public Liaison Omarosa Manigault.
For some strange reason, Devin Nunes, former head of the House Russia investigation, is still reviewing intelligence related to that very thing, despite recusing himself almost two months ago. Sir, a question: what are you doing?
Here at Jezebel, we recently received a loving but stern memo from our editors about our overuse of the word “hell” as a metaphor for what this country and this year feel like. So instead, I will say that Donald Trump’s bold proclamation Friday that he’s ready and excited for an “arms race” makes me feel like I’m on a…
Donald Trump, your president-elect and a moldy Nerf ball hurled directly into the nation’s testicles, hasn’t tweeted since yesterday, after an insane multi-day rant about Saturday Night Live, Hamilton, disrespect and why everybody is so mean. He’s clearly lost his phone privileges again, but someone did prop him up in…
Several news outlets are reporting that Donald Trump has selected Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions to be his Attorney General. Sessions was denied a federal judgeship in the ‘80s after testimony during his confirmation hearings revealed that he’d allegedly made racist remarks to black colleagues. These days, he tweets…
It took me a minute to remember this morning. I woke up with that heavy sense of wrongness, the one you feel after a death or a wrenching breakup, but it took a moment to locate it, to figure out where exactly it lives in my body. Remembering that we really did this, that we really elected Donald Trump as leader of…
You want to know how close this election is? Here is how sickeningly, nauseatingly close it is right now, via some projections from the New York Times:
A man at a Trump rally in Minneapolis this weekend sparked outrage after a Reuters photographer spotted him wearing a shirt that read, “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” The shirts have been around for years, but in a climate where Trump is singling out reporters from the crowd for verbal tirades and…
Paul Beatty was announced as the winner of the 2016 Man Booker Prize for Fiction Tuesday for his 2015 satirical novel The Sellout. While Jezebel congratulates Beatty for this prestigious award, we can’t help but wonder why it isn’t called The Woman Booker Prize.
A Tennessee woman in the middle of having a home security system installed because she was afraid of a violent, abusive ex-boyfriend subsequently confirmed her own reasoning by discovering him under her bed. After seeing Tony Joe Gunter lying in wait, the woman shot him in the foot while shouting at the security…
A San Antonio woman being arrested on drug charges last week made waves of news when officers searched her purse and found the remains of an eight-week-old fetus. As you might expect, there’s a deeply tragic backstory there: the woman, Bernadette Rivera, told a local news station she had a miscarriage and was unable…
The nation’s saddest governor loosed himself from the clutches of Donald Trump and headed to a Bruce Springsteen show, who probably still can’t stand him. Look at what he fucking wore. Please just look at it, because I can’t anymore.
A New York hospital will pay a $2.2 million fine to the federal government after allowing the ABC reality series NY Med to film two critically injured patients without their consent. One man, Mark Chanko, died in the emergency room in 2011 after being hit by a sanitation truck; his wife was unaware his attempted…
The Reverend Tyler Perry’s The Passion is unfolding live in the streets of New Orleans, starring rising star Jencarlos Canela (JC) as risen star Jesus Christ (J freakin C!) This magical event is apparently even partly filmed in the French Quarter, a holy neighborhood known for blesséd gifts such as $7 frozen daiquiris…
A British Columbia man named Patrick Fox has created a website whose sole intent, he says, is harassing and defaming his ex-wife, posting photos of her and her home and alleging that she’s a stripper and a white supremacist. He told a news outlet he’ll only stop when she’s either dead or “destitute and homeless.”…
I’m beginning to fear that one day very soon, Ciara is going to explode. And no, I don’t mean on the charts. She and Russell Wilson, her boyfriend of nearly a year, have not yet had sex with each other, and it appears her horniness is reaching a dangerous level that could result in the first documented case of…
Also today, in equally historic responses to Sarah Palin:
Vox and Sheryl Sandberg have both stepped forward to praise Paul Ryan for demanding his “family time” as a condition of running for Speaker of the House. His voting record alone should be enough to dispel the notion that he’s anything remotely like a friend to feminism. It seems frankly unfathomable that this even…
Sometimes you are faced with a story so breathtakingly abhorrent, your brain is biologically incapable of comprehension—but it's so insane, you can't keep it to yourself. This is one such story.
Fox has just announced that they will be developing Nazareth, an event series following the life of Jesus Christ between the age of 13 and 30. Please tell me this is the sexy Jesus teen drama we never knew we wanted?
