Grown-ish, the black-ish spinoff starring Yara Shahidi, turned out to be a success in large part because of its talented (and also hot) ensemble cast. On the series, which completed its impressive first season in March (former Jezebel staffer Kara Brown was in the writer’s room), Chloe and Halle Bailey (widely known…

The idea of saying “fuck it” to your shit job and taking your rock band on the road sounds like the stuff of teen fantasies and cult ’80s movies, or at the very least a nominally bad idea. But it’s 2018 and all bets are off—and if you have even a small fraction of the talent that friend-of-Jezebel TOMI does, you’re…

In Part 1 of our roundtable with former reality TV stars Amber Marchese (The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 6), Irene McGee (The Real World: Seattle), and Shii Ann Huang (Survivor: Thailand), they discussed the filming process, producers, and how the melodramatic sauce gets made.

Welcome back to Where Are They Now?: Last Week’s Creeps This Week, a series that catches up with creeps of yore.

In December, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski identified what she felt was a problem with the #MeToo movement: “Any woman can say anything, and that’s it,” she said. The accused’s career “is over.” Oh, is that so?

But the first-wave feminism of the suffragette movement was pretty racist, and willfully ignored and excluded the voices and issues of black women.

I blame my interest in raw meat on my mother. Under the guise of protecting us, she wouldn’t let me or my sister touch raw chicken while we helped her cook, lest we contract a salmonella infection. Like any child, what I wasn’t allowed to do I wanted to do more, and I found myself overly fixated on the flabby tan…
