At face value, Jay Leno seemed rather gracious during his 60 Minutes interview, acknowledging that his time had come as host of The Tonight Show. He had kind words about his successor.  "I really like Jimmy Fallon," Leno said. "I think he's terrific."  Leno quickly went on to explain the sort of thing that Fallon […]

Yesterday, we brought you some crazy tweets from Belibers begging for Justin Bieber to be sprung from the clink. And he was. While #FreeBieber and other nauseating hashtags began trending, we also saw #DeportBieber pop up as those of us fed up with his antics tried to offload him back to his native Canada. Well, […]

Perhaps I should start this off by saying that I don't believe there's any right or wrong way to mourn the passing of a loved one, most especially a parent. There is no set of rules to follow, and if there were, none of them would likely feel right as you try to process what's […]

Delusional, self-entitled POS Justin Bieber was arrested early Thursday morning for a DUI and drag racing in Miami. According to People.com, Bieber apparently asked the arresting cop, "Why the f— are you doing this?" He also later admitted to smoking pot earlier in the evening, while mixing that with alcohol and prescription drugs. Look, I like […]

After his DUI and drag racing arrest, Justin Bieber's mugshot is on its way to becoming the most shared photograph in the history of social media. It's even been mixed into a GIF with a photo of Miley Cyrus that will truly haunt your nightmares. Even though Bieber's smile and Marge Simpson hairstyle make this […]

I am surely the last person that should be writing about men's fashion or any sort of trends. I dress like a schlub, wearing essentially the same ensemble I have since college. When it's cold, it's hoodies and sweatshirts. When it's warm, t-shirts and shorts. I admit it: I don't often dress like an adult. […]

There are a lot of moments during Against Me!'s sixth album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, where the music is so good that I reach a moment of euphoria. It's not really the typical "this is a great album" euphoria (though Transgender Dysphoria Blues is), it's more of a gratefulness. "I'm so pleased that this exists," is […]

It probably shouldn't be a big deal that Saturday Night Live just hired a black female performer to its cast. Yet here we are. Sasheer Zamata will be the first such member of the cast since Maya Rudolph left the show in 2007. She'll make her debut next when SNL returns from its winter hiatus […]

The annual lead-up to the Academy Awards (this year on March 2) is more about campaigning for a film then the actual film itself. Categories are mostly limited, politicking is prevalent (and a little overt this year) and snubs are obvious and subjective at the same time. There will always be snubs: This year’s list […]

The 2014 Academy Award nominations were announced on Thursday morning. With 10 nominations, including Best Picture and a Best Director nod for Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity looks like the favorite going into the awards ceremony on March 2. But American Hustle, which also earned 10 nominations, has proven to be very popular among awards voters and […]

When it comes to television, movies, and life in general, I loathe having my time wasted. Given my cynical and skeptical nature, avoiding a frothy abundance of mostly average content is largely achieved by avoiding almost all new television shows. Basically, why go on a lot of first dates when the quality as a whole […]

This is an unoriginal opinion but Tina Fey and Amy Poehler should consider hosting more things. The duo started with “Weekend Update” on Saturday Night Live, aced their second consecutive year as hosts of the Golden Globes and could replace LL Cool J in two weeks as Grammy hosts if given the correct Kangol headwear. […]

Tina Fey captured the spirit of the Golden Globes perfectly with her last line as the telecast was signing off Sunday night. “This was the beautiful mess we hoped it would be.” A beautiful mess is exactly what we want from the Golden Globes. The Oscars are uptight, buttoned down and formal — or at least […]

Correctly predicting how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will vote on the Golden Globes is not easy. Actually, it might be impossible. The HFPA are the 85 non-American journalists who vote on whims, attempt to stay ahead of the Hollywood curve as far as nominating for “hipness,” and have no tangible idea of what […]

Perhaps no other media personality is as symbolic of the 24/7 cable news craze as Nancy Grace. A one-time prosecutor and legal analyst at Court TV who capitalized on a world that craves controversy and bombast, she has long been a lead anchor at HLN. Much like TLC, HLN dropped its original name "Headline News" […]
