Media Manipulation Rihanna in pink, off Instagram There’s been a lot of talk this week about Rihanna’s Instagram account. First they shut her down. Then they turned her back on.

Bad Style Shailene Woodley: the MET non-feminist Okay, so ostensibly we’re going to look at Shailene’s dress. Utterly ridiculous of course but, as we spend all our time here on the blog discussing, when you’re 22 is exactly when it’s time for utterly ridiculous. You want to be able to look back and By Duana • May 06, 2014 11:38 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Cameron Diaz: on aging, Botox, and children Cameron Diaz’s The Other Woman opens on Friday. I would see it this weekend if I wasn’t travelling. And while the reviews aren’t amazing, they’re actually a lot better than Johnny Depp’s Transcendence. So… Cam’s been giving a lot of candid interviews in support By Lainey • Apr 22, 2014 02:53 pm
Girlcrushes Why Emma Stone is awesome Duana has her Julia Roberts bias – as seen in the article below. I love Julia too. But for different reasons. She is sanctimonious and self-righteous as F-CK. And it’s so endlessly entertaining. As for my bias…right now…that would be Emma Stone. IS AWESOME. The new By Lainey • Apr 22, 2014 11:18 am
Equality Issues On the cover of a Rolling Stone Oh yes. Oh, we’re here. The future has arrived. Because do my eyes deceive me, or is that a 50-something woman on the cover of Rolling Stone – naked? It is, right? She looks great and all, and yes, lots of women at 50-esque don’t have that By Duana • Apr 09, 2014 03:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep, Rock Star She kind of is already, right? Meryl is Meryl like Madonna is Madonna, like Beyonce is Beyonce, like Adele is Adele, like Lorde is Lorde. Meryl is Hollywood’s rock star (sorry Johnny), so it makes sense that she will now play a rock star. Deadline is reporting that Meryl By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 12:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Be Pregnant With The World It’s Shailene Woodley’s big moment. Friday. Divergent. Are you going? Will Shailene Woodley follow Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence? Or will she be more like Lily Collins? The film is not getting great reviews. Just 31% right now on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics do mostly agree however that Woodley’ By Lainey • Mar 19, 2014 04:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Carey Mulligan fights for her right Before the party, there’s the vote. This is Carey Mulligan in London on the set of the new film Suffragette, in which she plays Maude, “a foot soldier of the early feminist movement". Well, I guess it’s not a rom-com. Then again, rom-coms aren’t By Lainey • Feb 24, 2014 05:22 pm
Relationship Assumption Is 45 a milestone? Jennifer Aniston turned 45 yesterday. She was reportedly in LA. Her fiancé Justin Theroux was in New York shooting his TV show. Is that problem? Is 45 a milestone? Jacek and I have spent birthdays apart. His birthday is a particularly tricky time because the Juno Awards always happen around By Lainey • Feb 12, 2014 11:41 am
Dumbass Katy Perry on love People keep sh-tting on Miley. On Gaga. And Katy Perry, she just skates right through it. Why? Is it because she sings about roaring female empowerment? Is it female empowerment if it’s hollow? "I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women. By Lainey • Jan 22, 2014 10:52 am
BFFs Angels In America This photo of Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson was taken 10 years ago while they were promoting Angels In America.

Equality Issues DJ Tanner: The Good, Submissive Wife So a recent US Weekly headline posits that Candace Cameron Bure is “submissive” to her husband, and I have to commend the editors for not illustrating the article with a blindfold and whip, because you know that’s what most people are thinking. But “submissive” in this context is biblical, By Duana • Jan 08, 2014 11:00 am
Equality Issues Porny’s “jampacked” schedule It’s the holidays. So, time to eat, and time for the weight loss companies to exploit your eating guilt. And Porny’s the face of it.

Baby and Bump Obsession Oh All The Women Who Are Independent… With the avalanche of celebrity-turned-lifestyle-experts, it’s easy to glaze over when they pull out the script: my family comes first, helping other women live more fulfilling lives, I just do this for fun but I’m really a wife/mom, cooking and cleaning are my hobbies, By Maria • Dec 12, 2013 09:54 am
Girly Throw Downs Jennifer Lawrence vs Joan Rivers Jennifer Lawrence gave an interview recently and sh-t on Joan Rivers’s show Fashion Police: "Shows like the Fashion Police and things like that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on things [that don't matter.

Music When in Amsterdam… This is what you do. But on stage? Sure. If you’re Miley Cyrus. I mean, OF COURSE. After all, she’s following in a long tradition of artists who aim to shock and hijack.
