Girls Lena Dunham covers Marie Claire UK Lena Dunham is on the cover of Marie Claire UK. I have zero expertise in magazine covers, like I don’t know what makes one sell or not, but this doesn’t appeal to me at all. It’s awkward, right?

Break Ups Michael and Catherine “working on it” I found this phrasing pretty interesting, didn’t you? I mean, it’s not the boilerplate divorce statement: “best for us to part company, we still care, please respect our privacy at this time”.

Movie Reviews and Previews Divergent first teaser Shailene’s somehow unannoying VMAs There was a kind of feeling of quiet despair at the VMAs. Did you feel it, at home on your couch? I think it was because there was so much promise – NSYNC, Taylor and Harry, Drake – and then so much sweaty disappointment. The four members of NSYNC who know that By Duana • Aug 26, 2013 12:31 pm
Music What is she supposed to do? Honestly, what is Miley Cyrus supposed to do? She has a compulsion right now to prove not just that she’s not a little girl, but that she is down with the dudes.
