Dumbass #RoseTicoDeservedBetter The last week of the year is a liminal space. It is the abandoned shopping mall of time: It once was, it is not yet. Nothing happens in the last week of the year, when post-holiday blues and pre-New Year’s Eve nerves set in. And everything happens in the By Sarah • Jan 08, 2020 12:35 pm
Douchebags Justin Timberlake’s promotional apology No but seriously, is this an apology? Or an advance promotional opportunity for his film, Palmer?

Douchebags Prince Andrew’s curious email The Virginia Roberts Giuffre interview aired last night on BBC Panorama and, even though she repeated the claims she’s been making consistently for years now, being that this was her first broadcast interview in the UK, home of Prince Andrew, she made headlines – as she should.

Royals Prince Andrew: another interview?! It’s been an epically sh-tty week for Prince Andrew. His interview on BBC Newsnight was a bust. Then he was alleged to have said the n-word during a business meeting.

Royals Prince Andrew’s “honourable” sweat glands As noted in the previous post, Prince Andrew and Team York did a piss poor job preparing for their interview with BBC Newsnight and Emily Maitlis.

Douchebags Prince Andrew and Team York: amateur hour It is the year 2019. And we are talking about the sweat glands of a member of the British royal family, the beloved second son of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Royals Prince Andrew’s “no holds barred” interview BBC Newsnight announced this morning that they’d landed an exclusive interview with Prince Andrew about his friend, the dead rapist pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Royals Prince Andrew’s “forensics” Well I’m definitely not conflicted about writing about this one. This f-cking joker… Prince Andrew, the beneficiary of all the drama between House Cambridge and House Sussex last week, is trying to capitalise on his nephews’ bad press by going back to the “fat fingers defence”, like somehow people By Lainey • Oct 28, 2019 09:53 am

We have seen him seemingly becoming more comfortable promoting the film and, perhaps, his campaign. I can’t imagine the studio would mind. It’s likely they’ll be putting resources into Joker’ By Lainey • Sep 24, 2019 03:58 pm
