I’m all for celebrating dads on their special day, but Father’s Day does its best work when it doubles as Single Moms Day. Sure, mothers have their own May celebration, but single moms who play two roles deserve more than one shitty Hallmark card and overcooked pile of pancakes in bed. And it appears Madonna, single…
Snoop and Martha are the best because they prove that cultivating new adult friendships in middle age is totally possible, and also because they are each the most delightful people in complementary ways. So of course, it’s always fun to hear more details about how the weeded rapper and the weeding crafter have…
A court has ruled that a New York City auction house does have the right to sell several personal items that once belonged to Madonna, including a pair of her panties, a hairbrush, and her breakup letter from Tupac.
No shade to Madonna, but I didn’t realize how much I liked “You Must Love Me” until I heard Lana del Rey sing it. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote it for the 1996 film version of Evita, basically so something from the movie, which was otherwise full of preexisting music, could win Best Original Song at the…
In 1998, a self-proclaimed “happier, more grounded” 39-year-old Madonna made a show of change. Evolution had been constant for her throughout the preceding 15 or so years of fame, but recent milestones had suggested that this shift was different, beyond skin deep. She’d given birth to her first child, Lourdes, in…
Yeah, Madonna’s bandwagoning with every singer/songwriter/actress/Kardashian to launch a beauty product line, but I can get with this commercial which neither terrifies me nor reminds me of my hideousness only fixable by slathering my face with product named after a sexy tropical fruit which will make me a bad bitch.…
There are artists and there are pop stars and rarely the twain shall meet. In a review of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent Comme des Garçons exhibit, artist/writer David Salle wrote a sentence that succinctly exposed just how different these professional species are: “The modern artist says, Love me for hating…
Yesss put down your DraftKings app, Jezebel readers (jk, jk). NFL player J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans started an online fundraiser last Sunday for Hurricane Harvey victims with a modest $200,000 goal and has now reached $17.5 million [UPDATE 15 minutes later: $17.8 million]. To put that number in perspective, an…
Tracy Anderson, celebrity trainer to the stars, is opening a gym in London, so that city’s Times profiled her and she had a few things to say about her famous clients. On training Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom she opened a gym in Manhattan earlier this year, Anderson had this to say:
We typically don’t hear stories about Jennifer Lawrence’s bodily functions and fluids unless she’s promoting a movie, so when I first read the Page Six story detailing Lawrence’s very recent and very public bout with the stomach flu, I jumped over to her IMDB page to see when her new film Mother would be released.…
Madonna filed an emergency court order in New York City on Tuesday to block the auctioning of 22 personal items she alleges were lifted from her private residency. The stash includes, most famously, a letter from Tupac Shakur that’s expected to fetch $400,000, but the entire catalog reads like the trophies of a…
Madonna said something stupid again—we just happen to be learning it about 25 years later.
Read her lips: Britney Spears is pissed and she wants credit. In a recent interview that ran on Israeli TV, the pop diva decried those who accuse her of lip-syncing. “A lot of people think that I don’t sing live,” Spears said. “Because I’m dancing so much I do have a little bit of playback, but there’s a mixture of my…
In the early 2000s, Hollywood was seized by a new (and at the same time, very very old) spiritual fad: Kabbalah, an ancient Jewish mysticism that previously could only be studied by older Orthodox men who had devoted their lives to Judaism. Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are not older Orthodox men, but that didn’t…
Broadway legend (and a New Yorker I’d be terrified to encounter in public) Patti LuPone appeared on Watch What Happens Live! Tuesday night, and fielded a question about Madonna’s, uh, interpretation, of her iconic role in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Evita.
I don’t spend much time thinking about R. Kelly these days except for when I hear “Ignition” at the grocery store or whatever and find myself singing along because I can’t help it. Since I’m sure you’re waiting with bated breath to hear what he’s up to, here’s a quick update: he’s being sued for damages caused by an…
Wanna feel old? No? Well, tough shit, because somebody’s working on a Madonna biopic.
Citizens, let me remind you that even your own Judge Brown is not immune to her civic duties. I spent the morning at jury duty unable to try these important shade cases until later than usual. But I have returned and am back to slowly cranking this equally important wheel of justice.
You may have already seen the trailer for Charlize Theron’s latest film, Atomic Blonde—it’s gritty, impudent, and impossibly sexy. And because the trailer incorporates shots of Theron’s character romping in bed with a French operative, played by Sofia Boutella, everybody is very excited to ask the star about lesbian…
A lot of Instagram-facilitated drama occurred between Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian on the eve of their baby special airing on E!. To summarize: Chyna left Kardashian amidst a very fishy Instagram hack, at which point Kardashian proceeded to post several memes, one of which claimed Chyna had inappropriately made off…
