There are a lot of people who don’t like this dress that Aishwarya Rai wore in Cannes. Which… I don’t understand, and I’m not trying to be contrarian. This woman is a regular on that carpet, and she understands that Cannes is about excess and extra and you’re supposed to peacock all over the Palais. What’s the problem? That’s exactly what this dress is! (GoFugYourself)
Apple Music has released its list of 100 Best Albums of all time. And usually when these lists come out, we’re fighting. There is a lot to fight about. Like the gaping absence of MARIAH CAREY and WHITNEY HOUSTON (as my friend Michael is screaming about). But I’m not fighting anyone here about the top 10, especially the #1 because the album that is #1 is LIFE for me, and probably many of you. I have this album framed and put up in my office, a gift from Kathleen. I will probably be listening to it on my deathbed. The top five over all is actually locked in and solid, and I 100% co-sign Frank Ocean’s Blonde as #5 and I’m singling this out because it was a surprise to me. Blonde often doesn’t get the respect it deserves on these “all time” lists. (Hollywood Unlocked)
It’s hard out here for a small pop culture website. The internet is a volatile place and the internet’s overlords are making it more and more difficult. I’ve been writing about some of this over at The Squawk and today Pajiba’s Dustin Rowles shares with their readers the impact that so many internet upheavals have had on his site and how they hope to get through it. More and more smaller publishers are sharing as much as we can so that all of us who use and rely on the internet can get a better understanding of how it’s being served to us. In the end though, and most importantly, we appreciate the people who continue to read our work. And we hope we can keep working! (Pajiba)
Jimmy Kimmel says that the best looking men who have been guests on his show also don’t smell very fresh. I buy this. For years there have been rumours that Brad Pitt stinks. From what I’ve seen in my personal life, this tracks. I am married to a man I consider to be attractive. I shower three times a day, minimum. I’m lucky if he showers once a day. His hygiene habits disgust me. And if he was a little uglier he would try harder. I said what I said, Jacek. I said what I said. (Celebitchy)
Speaking of Jacek, he didn’t get Sabrina Carpenter on SNL last weekend – but he’s not the target audience. “Espresso” is a big song on social media, and “That’s that me espresso” is making it a contender for the song of the summer. In other words, he’s old. And smelly. (Vox)
