Quiveration Birthday Styles Harry Styles turns 24 today. He’s not a January baby but I’ve decided not to hold this against him. I would have guessed I’d be over Harry by now since his album was underwhelming and I’m back on Team Zayn but as it turns out, my By Kathleen • Feb 01, 2018 02:53 pm

Quiveration The Best Chris and his flip phone My Chris Rankings never change. It always goes Pine, Hemsworth, Evans and, if I must, Pratt. Hemsworth and Evans may swap after the next Avengers and then again after the next Thor but Pine will always be on top. Always. I am a loyal person – sometimes to a fault.

Grammy Awards 2018 Rihanna’s Best Life Goddamn. GODDAMN. That’s really all I have to say about Rihanna at the Grammys. That and I don’t think I’m straight anymore.

Hook Ups Lorde and Jack Antonoff, the misdirect When Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham broke up, I casually mentioned that my friend predicted that Jack would date Lorde next.

Grammy Awards 2018 Bruno Mars and Cardi B bring the JOY The thing that almost angers me the most about Bruno Mars beating out Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar (and even Childish Gambino) for Album of The Year is that it puts me in the position of having to say anything about Bruno Mars other than that he’s a goddamn delight By Kathleen • Jan 29, 2018 09:11 am
