TV Updates JonBenet Ramsey gets the Cold Case treatment I’m reading a whodunit right now where, halfway through, we’re beginning to turn our eyes on the sweetest, most innocent one. It’s early enough that I know that’s not the end result—or at least, I hope not. But I also feel like it’s too By Duana • Aug 18, 2016 12:13 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Motivation for mom Hi Hayley, After decades of crash dieting and little strenuous exercise (coupled with constant complaining about how "fat" she is), my mom has finally started going to the gym three days/week with a trainer.

Quiveration Charlie’s push-ups No one should have to work after this post. It’s nearing the end of August. I have a few days of hiatus left.

Blake Shelton Blake Shelton’s takeback Yesterday I wrote about some old tweets of Blake Shelton’s popping up. I predicted he wouldn’t be quick to apologize because it wouldn’t matter either way – this mini scandal won’t hurt him. Well I was wrong –not about the scandal hurting him, but the apology.

Top Reads JT can’t quit Britney Back in July, in a post about Taylor Swift, I wondered why she gets called petty for writing songs about her exes while we are forced to incessantly applaud Justin Timberlake and his ringlets, now relaxed, like demented cheerleaders. There is no Taylor Swift revenge song as potent as JT’ By Lainey • Aug 18, 2016 10:26 am

She and my BIL, Paul, still don’t know the gender and have no names at all! They have "writer's block" when it comes to names and have begged for your By Duana • Aug 17, 2016 04:04 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Elle’s busy dress There’s a lot going on here. It’s a Marc Jacobs dress that feels like a Betsey Johnson. Right? The plain black pumps ground it though, as does the drama-free hairstyle. And overall, I don’t mind how there are several personalities happening at once in this design.

Top Reads Kristen says his name Kristen Stewart covers T. As we’ve observed in Kristen over the last year or so, she’s been increasingly open in her interviews, less resentful of having to do them, more eager to participate in the process, in the ecosystem that is Celebrity. As she explains it, she had By Lainey • Aug 17, 2016 03:27 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, August 17, 2016 Brazilian authorities tried to seize Ryan Lochte’s passport because they think he’s lying about this robbery, but he is already back in the US.

Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pratt being Chris Pratt, Vol. 2 The Magnificent Seven remake starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt opens next month, so the publicity machine is clicking into high gear. As such, Pratt is covering InStyle as September’s “Man of Style”, which is sort of odd as I don’t think anyone thinks “Chris Pratt” and “stylish” By Sarah • Aug 17, 2016 01:02 pm

Douchebags Blake Shelton’s Tweet and Delete Is there anyone worse than the person who fancies themselves a modern-day Archie Bunker? “I’m not racist, I hate everyone equally.” Ya you are actually VERY racist.
