Few bright spots have successfully penetrated the indefatigable bleakness that has defined the last several weeks. But just when it seemed like the country was completely out of redeeming qualities, an unapologetic democratic socialist congressional candidate named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made mince meat out of…
I was going to make this morning’s top story about Demi Moore allegedly hooking up with Nick Jonas after the two were set up by her daughter Rumer Willis (a rumor I don’t necessarily believe but enjoy considering), but this Page Six story about Matt Lauer forgetting his place in this world is just too infuriating to…
On Monday night, Page Six published a story about recently separated CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s new life on the dating scene. Their headline revealed that he was not just living the single life, but loving it.
On Wednesday night, celebrity gossip columnist extraordinaire and legendary Manhattanite Cindy Adams published a piece titled “Even Cindy Adams can’t stand Verizon.” Though her Page Six column typically covers the innumerable sightings and interactions she has with celebrities in New York City, this particular…
On Monday afternoon, Page Six published a story about a recent performance of Sunset Boulevard (the Andrew Lloyd Webber revival currently on Broadway) after which its star, six-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close, took to the stage to auction off some props from that night’s show: her glasses and fake eyelashes. The…
NBC’s Today has been making so many bad, perhaps brand-ruining decisions lately—from embarrassing new hires to shameful firings—that no additional shakeup should surprise me, but a rumor reported Thursday managed to do so anyway. Page Six reports Megyn Kelly may “unseat” Savannah Guthrie (who is currently on maternity…
This morning, while watching Today’s Take and sipping a delightful mix of hot java and french vanilla Coffee-mate, I paid no mind to the fact that Al Roker was joined by Sheinelle Jones and Dean Cain instead of his usual co-host, Tamron Hall. “Tam must have the day off,” I thought. “Well-deserved!” In a sense, I was…
Because humans contain multitudes, I am currently worrying about both the fate of our democracy/world as well as the fate of a long-running daytime television show hosted by people who make millions of dollars a year. Though considerably less destructive than, say, global thermonuclear war—or even a total collapse of…
During a Tuesday hearing, one of Bill Cosby’s lawyers had a tense argument with a Philadelphia District Attorney “over the defense team’s practice of publicizing the names” of Cosby’s many accusers. DA Kevin Steele claims the women’s names “were not part of the public record,” while Cosby’s lawyer, Brian McMonagle,…
“Be kind to everyone you meet,” someone once said. “For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” None more so than fashion designer Elie Tahari, who was physically removed from an Intermix boutique Saturday after a tussle with a security guard.
Even the funniest, most shocking celebrity stories—the ones that hit you like a wrecking ball when first reported—can quickly fade from your memory like a disappointing pop single after a week or two. You gasp. You laugh. You forget. Former teen icon Andrew Keegan’s “spiritual community” in Venice, CA is one of those…
Page Six, the New York Post’s gossip section, almost killed me last night. Just after 10:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, the publication threw up two stories it sourced from its network of spies and insiders, and both of them offered a Kubrickian glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and megalomaniacal.
Because I am a masochist, I used to watch the aimless, Starbucks-drenched trainwreck that is Morning Joe every morning. After waking up, I would let the resentful squawking between Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Willie Giest (whom I otherwise love), and whatever poor soul they convinced to join them provide a…
I don’t know what I just read. Or, rather, I know what I read—it was a piece in the New York Post by Richard Johnson called “Inside Sharon Stone’s secret car obsession”—I just don’t know what any of what I read means. Though its headline suggested I would be taken behind one of Sharon Stone’s many curtains (I assume…
Last week, Page Six published a story that grabbed my attention in all the wrong ways. They reported that Kate Hudson’s ex-fiancé, Matt Bellamy, was seen “flaunting” his new girlfriend around town. Wait just a second, I thought. You can’t flaunt someone else! You can only flaunt yourself!
Four years after she was acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee, Page Six is reporting that Casey Anthony is in talks with NBC for a potential interview. Someone once jokingly offered Anthony $10,000 not to write or say anything about her case. It’s safe to say that any news network who does manage to…
So many weddings seem to be planned with an eye to the photos and their ultimate appearance in a magazine/bridal style blog/Facebook. Which makes it pretty unsurprising that, apparently, you can now hire a Condé Nast-approved team to style and photograph your special day.
A new sodium-laced report about the GOOP-y bombshell Vanity Fair is about to drop in its Gwyneth Paltrow cover story next month may have the answer as to why the actress has been feuding with the magazine and warning her friends to decline requests for quotes or comments about the story: the writer for the piece is…
The New York Post was too busy slamming Desiree Rogers to notice that it had confused two black media moguls named Johnson. And one Sikh fan of The Daily Show politely reminds them of the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.
