On Monday, Vulture posted a roundup of jokes from one of Aziz Ansari’s recent string of shows in Wisconsin (the one reviewed took place Saturday at Milwaukee’s Turner Hall). Before January, this post probably never would have been considered newsworthy enough to print (a lot of comedians do shows, some actually have…

 Anna Wintour will stay at Vogue for the rest of her life because a vital part of her body is embedded in the Saarinen womb chair in her office, and because without Anna, Vogue withers on the vine.

It would be perfect if it weren’t so unfortunate: a writer with sticky fingers published a story about shoplifting—and got caught stealing. A piece about the Tumblr community of (mostly) young girls who shoplift and tell (“Liftblrs”) by a young writer named Rosie Albrecht that appears in the August/September issue of …

At any point on any day, I can turn on my TV and with one click of a button have nothing but sports ephemera directly delivered to my brain. I could get it via the myriad iterations of ESPN, or via NBC Sports, or via NFL Network (yes, an entire network just about the NFL), or via NBA TV (an entire network just about…

Late Saturday evening, the website Babe.net published a detailed account of an encounter between “Grace,” an anonymous 23-year-old photographer, and the actor Aziz Ansari. It described a September 2017 incident in which Grace says that she and Ansari went on a date after first meeting at an Emmys afterparty, and how,…

To work in a certain type of women’s media means that every day brings new and bountiful gifts from publicists and PR companies, looking to curry both favor and coverage. For most publications, this is an unexamined fact of life — a fun perk that no one really talks about, lest it disappear forever. Racked took the…

The revelation in Thursday’s New York Times that comedian Louis CK acted sexually inappropriate with women comedians was not a revelation to us here at Jezebel. In 2012, Jezebel’s sibling site, Gawker, ran a blind item about a “critically cherished sitcom auteur” who masturbated in front of “a female comedy duo” at…

In a new interview promoting the salvaged current season of Bachelor in Paradise, host Chris Harrison took the time to share his belief that it’s clear that “journalism is dead, and long gone on every level” because of the confusing and disparate reports surrounding the sexual misconduct investigation over a sexual…

Ladies, how was your weekend? Did you hear what happened in Charlottesville? Did you start your morning yesterday with a few tweets about how white supremacy is also really bad for white women? Did you look absolutely stunning in your guest spot on MSNBC where you talked about the alt-right? Did you spend Sunday…

Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough have responded to Donald Trump’s most recent Twitter attack, in which the President of the United States and noted misogynist called Brzezinski “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and said that when he saw her at New Year’s “she was bleeding badly from a face-lift” after she…

John Ness is out as editor-in-chief of DNAinfo.com, sources in the newsroom have told Jezebel. Ness did not return a request for comment about the circumstances of his leaving.

DNAinfo, the local-news organization owned by right-wing billionaire Joe Ricketts, announced today that it has purchased Gothamist LLC, a network of web sites covering cities from New York to Los Angeles. (In advance of the acquisition, DNAinfo laid off a slew of experienced editors and reporters.) At some point…

On Wednesday, a story floating the possibility of a Hillary Clinton run for mayor of New York bubbled up out of the paranoid right-wing stew that is Newsmax.com, citing anonymous sources speculating that “She’s talking about it.” She is almost certainly not, but that hasn’t stopped the New York Times from running not…

The planned Women’s March may be gearing up to be one of the biggest inauguration weekend protests ever, but there’s clearly still some education that needs to happen before January 21.

Behold, a row of national reporters who are not—at least not at first glance—deeply embarrassed to be posing for a photo at an off-the-record cocktail party with Donald Trump.

Because life is suffering and joy is where you find it, I want to just take a moment to salute the selective-to-the-point-of-being-nonsensical capitalization that’s been happening in headlines on the website of the UK paper The Daily Mail. While the Mail needs no help achieving ridiculousness, these headlines push the…

Having snuck past the crowd waiting for him in the ground-floor lobby, president-elect Donald Trump took questions from reporters at the New York Times Tuesday, whose coverage of him he has deemed “not nice.” Mike Grynbaum and Maggie Haberman, among others, livetweeted the meeting. Let’s see how what he told the Times …

On Monday, Donald Trump summoned the most visible members of the press corps—television news reporters and the executives of their networks—to his gilded apartment building, where he sat them in a boardroom and acted out his best version of The Apprentice in an off-the-record meeting from which the New York Post has…

In a story that dropped late Friday night, the Wall Street Journal reports that a Playboy model who says she had an affair with Donald Trump got a $150,000 paycheck from the National Enquirer, which curiously sat on the story after buying it.
