Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Drake’s Hotline Bling I first posted about Drake’s Hotline Bling video in October - click here to see that article. It was the goofy dancing, the turtleneck, and the body positivity. In the weeks that followed, Hotline Bling became the most memorable video of the year, the most memed video of the By Lainey • Dec 31, 2015 01:28 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Justin Bieber’s Sorry You could take that title several different but related ways. First, Justin Bieber’s contrition. You remember? All those visits to Ellen? All those apologies? And the roast? He grovelled, kinda sorta, but that’s how it was branded. And the point? Well the point was a new musical direction, By Lainey • Dec 31, 2015 11:59 am
Best and Worst of 2015 Worst of 2015: Precious Jesse Eisenberg It’s no surprise that Jesse Eisenberg is a prickly dick -- there have been signs that he’s a condescending jerk since 2013. Sure, everyone says stupid things from time to time. I’m a huge forgiver of a one-off soundbite because I imagine if anyone followed me around By Maria • Dec 31, 2015 11:23 am
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Jon Stewart Do you miss Jon Stewart? I do. And I don’t. I don’t because Trevor Noah deserves a chance to grow into the role and it can’t be easy to build your own situation when your predecessor is such a beloved institution. Also I don’t because John By Lainey • Dec 30, 2015 01:50 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Taraji P Henson USA Today has named Taraji P Henson the Entertainer of the Year. I love this choice. I suspect Duana might love this choice, not only because it’s Taraji, but because Taraji’s accomplishment is directly tied to television. Usually these titles are bestowed upon the actors in the movies. By Lainey • Dec 30, 2015 12:24 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best Photo of 2015: Four Rings on a Private Jet It was the biggest celebrity split of the year: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. In April he shows up in Eastern Canada, looking busted on a gas station security monitor, and I heard he was accompanied at the time, allegedly, by a brown haired woman who was not his wife.

Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Robert Pattinson I’m actually wondering who I am right now. Robert Pattinson in the “best” column? I didn’t expect it either. But looking back over 2015, not even his tea-pouring hands were a problem this year. Mostly it’s because he’s been so cute with FKA twigs and I’ By Lainey • Dec 23, 2015 02:17 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Worst of 2015: Chris Martin Or my nickname for him, This F-cking Guy. The good news is, Martin Lawrence is over and Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t have to be dating him anymore. Because This F-cking Guy gave us so much cringe the last half of the year. Just to recap – Chris Martin seemed to beg By Lainey • Dec 23, 2015 12:40 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: Jidenna Classic Man is one of my favourite songs of the year, and definitely one of my favourite videos of the year. And it’s too bad Justin Bieber overkilled the word “swag” because Classic Man is pure swag. Classic Man reminds us all how uncool we are…without bitterness. Jidenna By Lainey • Dec 22, 2015 03:32 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Worst of 2015: Jeremy Renner Hindsight is a beautiful thing. What happened at the very beginning of 2015 actually told us everything we needed to know about Jeremy Renner for the entire year. Let’s look all the way back to January 2015. You remember this moment, don’t you? I had several video options By Lainey • Dec 22, 2015 12:18 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Worst of 2015: Johnny Depp & Amber Heard You know they haven’t even been married a year? Their wedding was in February and that kicked off a year of a lot of us not really feeling Johnny Depp anymore. Every time he showed up with Amber, sh-t went down. Especially in Australia. As you know, they’ve By Lainey • Dec 18, 2015 11:31 am
Best and Worst of 2015 Worst of 2015: Scott Eastwood’s Smug Mug Or maybe he wins “most punchable face” of 2015? Does that count as a “best”? Scott has the pedigree of a movie star (his dad is Clint Eastwood), he has what some consider movie star good looks, and yet he still acts like a thirsty frat bro. How so? Oh By Maria • Dec 17, 2015 01:45 pm
Top Reads Best of 2015: Serena Williams Serena Williams was named Sports Illustrated SportsPerson of the Year this week. Here she is last night at the ceremony. Serena was the best on the court. And she was the best off the court too. So great, so unquestionably great, that not even Anna Wintour could deny her: And By Lainey • Dec 16, 2015 04:33 pm
Best and Worst of 2015 Best of 2015: The Emancipation of Zayn Those of us who lived through a New Kids on the Block/Spice Girl/Take That breakup were not that fussed by Zayn leaving 1D. After a certain age, you know not to put all your faith in a group because someone (ahem, Geri!) will break your heart. As Lainey By Maria • Dec 15, 2015 04:29 pm
