If You Buy Justin Bieber’s New ‘Girlfriend’ Fragrance, Someday You’ll Be Embarassed About It
Justin Bieber's new fragrance, Girlfriend, launched at Macy's yesterday and it is, unfortunately, a noteworthy occasion. I say "unfortunately" because I can think of an infinite number of cultural products that are more worthy of our attention than a corporate-developed perfume, branded with the face of an eighteen-year-old pop star, designed to indulge the fantasies […]

OF COURSE Angelina Jolie Should Direct ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’
According to some very dubious gossip, Universal Studios, which acquired the movie rights to the smash hit BDSM-spiked romance novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, is hoping to pursuade tabloid ice queen Angelina Jolie to direct the film.

Kristen Stewart Covers Elle, Seems Pretty Cool in the Accompanying Interview
There are two good reasons to dislike Kristen Stewart: 1) Her acting in the Twilight franchise was worse than the movies were bad. 2) It's like she goes out of her way to look impossibly miserable at all times, particularly whenever she's dressed in one of the world's most beautiful gowns. But sorry, kids: Stewart […]

Lady Gaga’s Indonesian Concert Permit Was Denied
I've always been aggressively forthcoming about my disdain for both Terry Richardson and Lady Gaga. I think Richardson is a sleazy rodent and Gaga is an affected hack. (Of course, these two fine specimens of humanity are good friends.) So it's not too easy for me to admit that I've been following Terry's photo updates […]

Kanye West Hates Stuff
Next time you remember that you're an insignificant little speck in this chaotic, seemingly unfeeling universe, instead of getting bummed out, think about Kanye West. Not only does he consistently deliver the kind of inane jabber which is imminently mockable by even the slowest wit, the rapper-turned-designer is also a living reminder that no amount […]

Rihanna's just released her latest video for the Calvin Harris-produced song "Where Have You Been?" Even though I have a soft spot for the pop star's bleaker ballads, like "Love the Way You Lie" or "California King Bed," "Where Have You Been?" is the kind of energetic, upbeat dance song sure to satisfy anyone impatiently […]
