Music Pitch Perfect x The Voice Are you excited for Pitch Perfect 3? Did you forget about Pitch Perfect 3? I did. Since Pitch Perfect 2 basically ruined the franchise for me by being an overall mess of a movie that wasn’t fun or funny, I’ve been all “aca-no thanks” about the third installment.

Dumbass Divesting from Lena Dunham Lena F-cking Dunham. I know, I know, I swear too much and I’ll have to apologize to my mother later for starting this piece with an expletive but the first words that come to mind when I think of Lena Dunham these days are cuss words.

Equality Issues Rihanna’s best invention I would argue that Rihanna’s best invention was this GIF… … but instead of being honoured for perfecting the drive-by Boy Bye face, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has been named one of TIME’s 25 Best Inventions of 2017. GIF jokes aside, Fenty Beauty has been an important part of By Kathleen • Nov 17, 2017 12:47 pm
TV Updates Riverdale season two so far Spoilers Riverdale has so much potential. Last season, it was this close to delivering on that potential. The premise of a darker, moodier Archie comic turned teen drama in 2017 is great. The cast is spot on. So why has so much of the fun been sucked out of Riverdale? By Kathleen • Nov 17, 2017 11:19 am

Music Ms Jackson, still nasty Janet Jackson was honoured at the OUT100 Gala in New York last night. She won a Music Icon Award, as she should. Janet Jackson is a music icon.

Quiveration Harry Styles, cupcakes and puppies AND cute kids. The new Harry Styles video has assembled all things adorable to blatantly pander to his cupcake-loving, puppy-loving, children-in-suits-loving fan base… aka everyone. He is pandering to everyone.
