Amazingness Beyonce gets presidential Shaking hands and kissing babies...that’s how they do when they’re running for president, right? Beysus doesn’t want to be president though. Beysus, like Oprah, would rather be God. She was shooting a video yesterday at Coney Island. Look at it. That must have been the worst By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 10:18 am

BFFs Workout Buddy: For or Against? I’m not sure about the whole ‘working out with a friend’ thing. I like the idea a lot in theory, but I’m not sure it works in practice.

Scandal Lisa Kudrow is Scandalous? This is mainly very good news. You know what I love? Scandal. You know who I love? Lisa Kudrow.

Career prospectus Career Prospectus: John Cusack For previous installments of Sarah’s Career Prospectus series, please click here. I just saw The Spectacular Now yesterday and loved it. Miles Teller reminds me of a young John Cusack in the best of ways. Which got me thinking. What happened with that career? Just bad choices? I' By Sarah • Aug 29, 2013 01:51 pm

Girly Throw Downs On Being Lame I couldn’t sleep last night, so I read, but one of the things that made it a little easier was that I discovered a book I forgot I bought on the Kindle. This is obviously an occupational hazard of the Kindle phenomenon and I play right into it. I By Duana • Aug 29, 2013 01:25 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Hayden Bangs in a Tight Dress What do you think of Hayden’s new haircut? I’m not sure I’m totally in. But the thing is that the blunt-bangs cut almost never lasts. It always feels like a new, sharp cut but nobody maintains them for long, do they? In fact, the only person By Duana • Aug 29, 2013 12:48 pm
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”. They say they’re taking time while they ‘evaluate and work on their marriage’. There’s By Duana • Aug 29, 2013 12:32 pm
