The Bachelor host Chris Harrison’s redemption arc has begun: first stop, Good Morning America.

The powerhouse that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (multiverse?) can now count a Billboard hit amongst its accolades, which include kajillions of dollars in ticket sales and a literal Academy Award for a superhero movie. On Wednesday the song “Agatha All Along,” a catchy ditty featured in the Disney+ show WandaVision…

At the start of Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, Chip Gaines is sitting shotgun in his wife’s SUV, and he’s happy. “Alright, baby girl,” he tells Joanna. “We’re back!” She smiles inscrutably as her husband smacks the window of the passenger side for emphasis. “Whaaat!,” he screams. Joanna continues to drive. “We’re BACK,”…

Take comfort in the distance in this long shot; it’s keeping the hell ahead of us at bay.

There’s a scene in Nomadland in which Fern, played by Frances McDormand as the film’s restless, nomadic lead, finds herself staying in the comfortable suburban home of her sister. The house sits on a tree-lined street, Fern’s guest room accommodations warm and cozy. It’s the opposite of Fern’s van, the cramped place…

Does anyone else feel entitled to an hour-and-a-half of their life back? I sure do! Monday night on The Bachelor was the infamous “Women Tell All” episode—the glorified mid-season clip show plus contestant commentary—and oh my god, I’m so bored, even finishing this sentence is arduous.

The new Netflix series Ginny and Georgia has angered both Swifties and Taylor Swift herself, thanks to a throwaway line referencing Swift’s “long-list of ex-lovers.”

“Bury a Friend” plays like a leitmotif in Apple TV’s Billie Eilish documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry—a reminder of its role as the title track on her debut and sole full-length album, the Grammy award-winning When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, and a central theme in the teenage goth-pop…

The Bing Bang Bong is going around this Women’s History Month. Have you caught it yet?

Given the reputation of the Golden Globes, the outcast of the awards season family, it’s hardly a surprise that its spin on a covid-era, somewhat social-distanced awards ceremony came with the chaos that Sunday’s broadcast did. The Globes, after all, are the awards show known for encouraging everyone to get drunk and…

It’s Friday night. Your boyfriend is out at the bar with his friends. You have the apartment to yourself. We’re in an alternate timeline where the coronavirus pandemic never happened so you’re not wondering why the hell your boyfriend is going to a fucking bar with his goddamn friends.

They’re dark now!: SHINee, “Don’t Call Me” - The old SHINee can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Well... they didn’t want you to ring them in the first place. The K-pop bad boys are back, built into something new: after three of its four members returned from South Korea’s mandatory military enlistment, “Don’t Call…

Justin Bieber makes music, occasionally, when he isn’t acting as the paparazzi spokesmodel for Churchome, his new evangelical crash pad. There’s a new album on the way now, Justice, which Bieber announced Friday. It’s going to heal the planet, apparently.

When I was a very little girl, my first love was just the entire concept of older girls. They weren’t crushes exactly, more like a sweeping awe at the idea of being a female teenager—freedom, possibility, a two-piece swimsuit with actual bra cups and two whole breasts to put in them. Having had just half a decades’…

“Sex tape” became a household phrase via a portrait of domesticity, even if Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee comprised no ordinary couple. For anyone even vaguely cognizant of the happenings in pop culture, the 1996 release of Pam & Tommy Lee: Hardcore and Uncensored was impossible to ignore. Few adult releases since the…

This week, Drew Barrymore pulled a Spagett! during her eponymous talk show’s Design Week, and hid behind furniture to terrify a woman whose house she redecorated. Elsewhere during the Design Week festivities, Barrymore rhapsodized a water filter, got honest for a second about a desk chair (“It must be comfortable”),…

Contrary to what has previously and erroneously published on this website, there is such a thing as a single best track on Amy Grant’s 1992 album Home for Christmas. The answer is “Breath of Heaven” and anyone who even tries to bring other tracks into the discussion has never been tasked with singing “Breath of…

Recently, roughly a quarter of a century after I fell into an adolescent obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio, I re-watched Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. What struck me—aside from the fact that I still had most of the script memorized by heart, and that I still found it near impossible to watch without reciting…

It’s 2010 and I’m in high school. My friend has invited me over to listen to her new record player, which she bought at Urban Outfitters with a gift card. “You have to hear this new band,” she proclaims, luxuriating in her white yak fur rug and drowning in her ModCloth skirt. She jumps up and pulls a vinyl out from a…

For roughly what future Real World cast members would receive for participating in their season’s reunion alone (and a far cry from the hundreds of thousands some reality stars reportedly pull), the cast of MTV’s Real World New York was paid for their entire time on the show that changed television as we know it. In…
