Dumbass Rebel Wilson’s hella stupid scandal This week the internet was scandalized when an Australian tabloid ran a story asserting that Rebel Wilson has been lying about her age and background since breaking out in Bridesmaids.

Marcus and Friends (dogs) Johnny Depp’s dog violation I remember hearing a story last year of a woman who flew to Australia with an orange and it turned into a major drama when she got there. They’re serious over there about contamination and bio-transfers. So if you have pets, and you’re travelling there with them, they By Lainey • May 14, 2015 04:26 pm
Dumbass Please stop talking, Jeremy Renner I’ve always said Jeremy Renner is good for gossip, and he is certainly giving us something to talk about recently.

Dumbass Mae Whitman denied a role that was already hers Have you heard about this one? So Mae Whitman played the President’s Daughter in Independence Day. In 1996. She was 8. Now they’re making Independence Day 2 to come out next year, a full 20 years later. All bets should be off, cast-wise, 20 years later. Who knows By Duana • Apr 30, 2015 03:10 pm
Dumbass Meredith tries but Stacey Dash is dumb Generally speaking, I think people should play within their weight class. What I mean by that is I have very little patience for people who are smart, and know they’re smart, giving condescending lectures to people who they know don’t understand the same things they do, just so By Duana • Apr 30, 2015 01:11 pm
Dumbass What could go wrong? If you were a Disney/Marvel publicist, last week probably wasn’t great. Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans were sexist (click here for a refresher). Robert Downey Jr walked out of an interview (click here for a refresher). Then he made headlines again for culturally insensitive remarks about Alejandro Gonzalez By Lainey • Apr 27, 2015 04:26 pm
Douchebags Adam Sandler’s new movie is so offensive no one wants to be in it Adam Sandler is making a new movie, The Ridiculous 6, which is slated to air on Netflix at some point. It’s a spoof of Westerns, the title is a play on The Magnificent Seven, and it stars Sandler as a guy who’s raised in a band of Apaches By Sarah • Apr 24, 2015 10:24 am
Douchebags The Avengers are TOO PEPPY We’ve said it before—the Avengers are the coolest club in Hollywood. When you put that group together, they’re a marketing flak’s wet dream. They sell themselves, they sell the movie, they sell the ongoing pop cultural domination of Marvel simply by showing up. And they’ve By Sarah • Apr 23, 2015 02:51 pm
Dumbass Ben Affleck explains Ben Affleck was featured in Finding Your Roots last year on PBS. During the research process, it was discovered that he had ancestors who were slave owners.

Baby and Bump Obsession Katie, Jamie, and Suri Katie Holmes took Suri to the Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday night. And Suri clearly enjoyed it. Arms up in the air, trying to shove air balloons into her clutch…she’s 8 now, and this event hits all the sweet spots for someone her age. It must have been By Lainey • Mar 30, 2015 11:29 am
TV Updates “What if there’s TOO MUCH Diversity?” Duana’s (snarky screenwriter) take Oh NO, you guys, terrible news! It seems that Hollywood has gotten a clue, based on how Shondaland kills everything in its path on Thursday nights, how well Jane The Virgin has done, and how Empire has JUGGERNAUTED its way through season one. Hollywood has By Duana • Mar 25, 2015 12:41 pm
TV Updates Deadline published a disgusting article meant to make us mad Sarah’s (snarky blogger) take Yesterday evening an article by Nellie Andreeva was posted on the industry trade website Deadline—formerly the bastion of hard-edged news harpy Nikki Finke—positing that the current pilot season is shaping up to be the most diverse in recent memory, maybe ever, with more By Sarah • Mar 25, 2015 12:19 pm

Dumbass Dudes get a Ghostbusters, too…with Channing Tatum In January, the cast of Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot/sequel/whatever was announced, and for the most part, everyone was excited about a lady ghostbusting squad. For the most part—there were some whiny diaper baby man-tears shed over women getting their period blood all over the uber-masculine By Sarah • Mar 10, 2015 10:52 am
Douchebags John Mayer: the “thinking man’s fiasco” I said it about Justin Timberlake and it applies to John Mayer – a quote by Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are believe them.” How long have we been sh-tting on John Mayer for? A long time. Because he keeps showing us who he is. And still, for By Lainey • Mar 09, 2015 11:42 am
