Yet his monologue wasn’t only that: While Youssef’s comments about Palestine were clearly heartfelt and genuine, that anecdote ends with a joke about his buddy Brian’s dog. (And, leading up to it, there are references to—among other things—Ramadan, Michigan vape shops, wanting a trans woman for president, and Uber drivers.) He deftly manages to toe … Read more
Out of all the erogenous zones, boobs are the jolliest, aren’t they? Sacks of fat and glands and ducts that add up to something far greater than the sum of their parts. You can feed babies with them; they look great in oil on canvas; I sometimes find it comforting to cup mine when I’m … Read more
This week, Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper went viral for airing an anti-bachelorette-party take that seemed designed to upset high-maintenance brides everywhere. “If you are the bitch that is asking your fucking friends to go to Greece for your bachelorette, knock it off—knock it the fuck off, okay?” Cooper said on her show. … Read more
My cancer hospital had social workers call me, outside of scheduled appointments, just to check in. Beyond the oncologist tasked with curing me, I had a palliative doctor whose main concern was my comfort and symptom management. That attentiveness was nowhere to be found just a few months before I started cancer treatment, when I … Read more
Timothée Chalamet has taken on some wild roles over the past few years, from a young boy exploring his sexuality in Call Me by Your Name to noted March-sister homie hopper Laurie in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, to…a giant sandworm or someone who fights a giant sandworm or something in Dune. (I’m sorry, I’ve never … Read more
When I was twenty four and about to make a hasty and outwardly inexplicable exit from Dublin to London, my father sat me down. My father is a gentle and wise person whose pleasantness sometimes masks the shrewdness with which he perceives the world and people around him. We were discussing practicalities, of which there … Read more
You’d be forgiven for assuming that these pictures have so many fans because seeing the former Shameless star lug around armfuls of peonies allows people (me) to imagine he’s buying them for us (me), and that he’s on his way over with takeout for two and something else normal, like an engagement ring, hidden inside … Read more
Today, Ariana Grande unveiled Eternal Sunshine, her highly anticipated seventh studio album, and, as usual, the pop singer delivered. Impressively concise (it flies by in about 32 minutes), the album is filled with introspective lyrics and chill-pop beats perfect for sad-dancing, whether at the club or in your room. “It’s incredibly human,” Grande recently said … Read more
Iâll admit it: After five years of watching virtually every majorâand often minorâaward show for work, Iâve gone from a starry-eyed superfan to a bit of a cynic. I still love the pageantry and red carpet silliness (and the excuse to text everyone I know about inane celebrity gossip), but after COVID-induced delays, the rise … Read more
Being a pop star is pretty much every child’s dream job (that is, until they grow up and realize they’ll have to get really good at TikTok dances), but for some, it’s just a layover on the way to their final destination: country-music fame. Sure, some singers do it the other way around—yes, Taylor Swift, … Read more
