Against all odds, The Real Housewives of Potomac franchise went from mildly interesting to excellent over three seasons, in large part due to my queen Karen. As such, their taglines have gotten more crafty and nonsensical.
It’s been a rough week to be a star, and a rough week to be someone who listens to what stars have to say. At least, that’s what social media tells me. Some of the most famous people making music today—Ariana Grande, Cardi B, and Justin Bieber (as well as Lizzo, a darling of critics and her fans but not quite of…
According to NBC News, Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek will star in the next James Bond movie, currently operating under the title Bond 25, as the villain trying to off Daniel Craig. As someone who once genuinely enjoyed Bond films, I believe Malek’s particular brand of creepiness (not as Queen’s Freddie Mercury; more…
Some (potentially) good news (with a laundry list of caveats below): Originals, a 15-song compilation of early recordings of songs Prince wrote and demoed for other artists will be released on Tidal on June 7 (what would have been the artist’s 61st birthday). This collection of sort of reverse-covers will include…
There could be a hundred people in a room... and I think a hundred of them would tell Bradley Cooper to please let go of A Star Is Born.
Ever wondered what Destiny’s Child’s meteoric rise was like... for Beyoncé’s dad, Mathew Knowles? Well, he’s about to spill it.
Now that Disney and NBCUniversal are getting into the streaming business, the rerun you’re probably half-watching right now while you second screen might be leaving Netflix, meaning we’re either going to have to go back to the days of box sets or invest in a lot of new streaming services.
The star of Beyoncé’s Netflix special and accompanying live album, Homecoming, is, of course, Beyoncé. The fifth star—after her Louboutin boots, both of her knees, and her powerful creative vision—is “Before I Let Go,” a cover of a Maze and Frankie Beverly classic that is the only thing I’ve listened to for the past…
Ryan Murphy, a man who has more ideas in his sleep, than I ever will in my waking hours, has 10 projects greenlit as part of his Netflix deal. I’m thrilled for Ryan Murphy, who is a beautiful bald genius with many good shows under his belt, but I am left wondering what device Murphy has in his possession that allows…
It is now jarring to hear a Michael Jackson song at a wedding, or a coffee shop, or on shuffle via an old Spotify playlist. The allegations made against him in the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland are beyond harrowing, and though perhaps we should have been taking the pedophilia accusations that swirled around him…
What do you do when the love of your life is such a hardcore Nicki Minaj stan that their stanning is interfering with your relationship? Ask Wendy Williams for advice, naturally.
Jamila Woods’s sophomore album, Legacy Legacy, due May 10, functions as a tribute to black writers and musicians who came before her. Each track is named after—and devoted to—legends identifiable by one name: Giovanni, Zora, Betty, Miles.
People across the land are weeping. Over a loved one who’s passed away, over insurmountable financial debt, and also Avengers: Endgame.
In the wake of a major independent investigation into CBS’s culture after the departure of former CEO Les Moonves—who was ousted after sexual misconduct allegations—one former executive described the network as “a workplace fraught with systemic racism, discrimination, and sexual harassment.”
It is likely that if you have a Netflix account, or access to one, and you allow the “Popular on Netflix” algorithm to dictate your viewing decisions, then you will watch the totally pleasant break-up film Someone Great in the next few days. Perhaps you already have. If you are a fan of rom-coms, and the streaming…
It’s the plot of innumerable Regency romances: Somebody with big ambitions and insufficient fortunes decides their best move is hustling an heiress to the altar, only to catch feelings. It is also, essentially, the plot of Gentleman Jack, HBO’s entertaining new series following the adventures of Anne Lister.
The most recent episode of Game of Thrones was maybe the closest thing the series will ever have to a Christmas special. Everyone was back together, reminiscing, making amends, fucking on bags of grain or whatever was in those sacks. It was all a little heavy handed, but still a lovely bottle episode and final bit of…
Few artists deserve a ~moment~ as much as Lizzo, whose new album, Cuz I Love You, has been on repeat on my Spotify for the last 72 hours. She’s starting to ride hers, and yet this past weekend, her Coachella ~moment~ was nearly ruined by sound issues.
Perhaps we should decompress after the second episode of the last season, the calm before the storm, or the boring chapter you speed-read through before you get to the juicy shit—whatever you want to call it. Finally some truths got told, some folks got to smash, and a few necessary wight-killing weapons were…
