NPR has compiled a list of what the outlet is calling the “150 Greatest Albums by Women,” as chosen by chief music critic Ann Powers and a cadre of other writers. The point of categorizing albums based on no criteria but gender, as explained by Powers, was to shift “the assumption that a male perspective can stand for…

Though a recent trip to the dentist that involved multiple fillings has led to a significant reduction in the amount of gummy candy I consume during any given week (we’re big fans of Haribo over at Jezebel.com), I refuse to cut Reese’s holiday shapes out of my diet—especially in the middle of one of the best seasons…

In a breathtaking and frankly objectionable act of trolling, a GQ deputy editor and a senior editor at Taste have released a list of Haribo gummi rankings on The Awl. The rankings are wrong, they are bad, and as a person with no fewer than five burgeoning cavities and three bags of gummi bears in my purse, I am…

For about one month every year, regardless of the state of her career, Mariah Carey is relevant thanks to the endurance of practically everyone’s favorite Christmas song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” In fact, this year, it went Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in its 21 years in existence (this…

In an essay published Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter president and chief creative officer Janice Min wrote that THR would be getting rid of its annual Women in Entertainment Power 100 list. “THR’s Power 100 list, by its nature, pits the town’s most impressive females against one another,” she wrote. “We…

Memorial Day weekend is finally here. Some of us will be staying in and relaxing and others will be seeing Mad Max: Fury Road on repeat in the nearest air-conditioned theater, but many of us will be attending Memorial Day parties at which plenty of food will be served. As reminders that summer and the pleasures that…

If you believe fiction, spies are everywhere. You cannot turn around without bumping into someone in a wig, armed with a gun masquerading as a tasteful pair of earrings, and carrying secret plans in microdot form. There are so many, we decided to rank them.

Ann M. Martin, author of the much-beloved Baby-Sitters Club books, recently revealed in an interview with Elle that her favorite character is Kristy: "I feel she set the series in motion." With all due respect to Ms. Martin, the staff of Jezebel disagrees. Here is a very scientific ranking of all the babysitters, from…

You know it, I know it and even your great-aunt Marlene who wears too much powder knows it: Some foods look like dicks. Delicious edible penises. Culinary cock. So let’s just all be grown-ups about it and rank them. Because that’s what grown-ups do when they’re not busy crying themselves to sleep.

Many internet web sites like to rank the fruits. You can see right away that these rankings are wrong and bad, both because their results are stupid, and for the reason those results are stupid, which is that they were assembled using a lousy-ass amateurish methodology. Amateur bush-league-ass fruit-rankers are…

It's 75 degrees, the air smells like crispy meats, blackberry vines are being total dickheads in my flower beds, and all my neighbors are outside drilling and weedwhacking and hammering approximately 14 hours per fucking day. It must be my favorite time of year—ALMOST SUMMER!—and all I want to do is a goddamn sunny…

This week, Maxim magazine revealed its annual list of the hottest 100 women Maxim editorial assistants could find this year and arbitrarily ranked them based on a top secret sexability formula made with 11 herbs and spices. Here at Jezebel, we're above that superficial bullshit* and have fashioned a similarly…

Today is the 10th anniversary of the release of Mean Girls, which means—and I'm sorry to break it to you like this—you are hella elderly. On the upside, though, Mean Girls almost completely holds up, and still watches like a semi-masterpiece (even if Tina Fey has some squicky race and slut-shamey issues and the script…
