It appears I’ve finally been gifted a reason to watch baseball, and it has very little to do with the actual sport, and everything to do with capitalist rot and an XXL scandal. The MLB struck a deal with Nike and Fanatics to design and create their jerseys this year, and among many reported problems with the cheapness and quality of players’ uniforms, the beginning of spring training is, ahem, revealing an even bigger issue: The ill-fitted, misshapen pants are very, very see-through. Where previous... Читать дальше...

On Thursday, attorneys for Brandi Glanville, the former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star, sent a lengthy letter to NBCUniversal, Shed Media, and Warner Bros. Discovery that accused Bravo executive producer (and her former boss), Andy Cohen, of sexual harassment. "Over the past year, Ms. Glanville has been subjected to a vicious media campaign based on false allegations of sexual misconduct," the letter written by Glanville's legal representation, Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos, begins. It then... Читать дальше...

Fallout has been swift after the Alabama Supreme Court declared last week that frozen embryos are considered children under wrongful death statutes in a chilling ruling. At least three fertility clinics have paused IVF in the state citing fears of criminalization if they follow the standard of care for IVF, which involves storing and sometimes discarding unused embryos, and Republican politicians are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to say that their anti-abortion stance shouldn't affect fertility treatments like IVF.

Sometimes mixing Lexapro with weepy nighttime soaps can be a win. Just ask Cirocco Dunlap, a television writer for shows like Russian Doll and the animated Big Hero 6 spin-off, Baymax!. Faced with trying to find her next gig in television she just decided to write and pitch her own series.  “I was suddenly like, 'It's time!'” Dunlap told Jezebel. “It was very, like full go mode. For months, this is all I was focused on.” Fusing together her love for heady sci-fi, animation, and female-centric series like Grey’s Anatomy... Читать дальше...

In 2017, to handle the daily deluge of stomach-turning news that was the Donald Trump presidency, Jezebel launched a political version of Dirt Bag, our signature gossip column. "Staff writer Ellie Shechet christened it Barf Bag, a perfect name for the queasiness produced by the endless roller coaster of the Trump administration, a perfect name for an administration whose ideology was sickening," then-features editor Stassa Edwards wrote in 2021 after President Joe Biden was inaugurated and the headlines...

Welcome back to Barf Bag.  In December, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) announced she'd be running for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, instead of the 3rd, which she currently represents. She, of course, blamed the "Hollywood elites" for forcing her to run in a district on the other side of the state, but the real reason is that she nearly lost to Democrat Adam Frisch in 2022 and only managed to keep her seat by 546 votes. (She later specifically blamed her district decision on Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds... Читать дальше...

It’s been nearly three weeks since 16.9 Americans tuned in to the Grammy Awards and watched as Joni Mitchell took the stage for the first time. Not far from the Los Angeles Convention Center, one 17-year-old singer-songwriter covered her eyes and cried along on her couch. For Tish Melton, the sight of an 80-year-old Mitchell singing Both Sides Now, one of her most celebrated–and sobbed to–songs was overwhelming. But unlike most high school seniors, Melton has a bit more in common with Mitchell than... Читать дальше...

In the weeks after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, a Black woman in Louisiana named Nancy Davis said she was denied an emergency abortion for a fetus that lacked a skull and the top of its head, even though continuing the pregnancy severely threatened her health and safety. Davis was ultimately able to travel out-of-state for abortion care; still, her lawyer said state lawmakers had “inflicted unspeakable pain, emotional damage, and physical risk” on his client. Louisiana's abortion ban sweepingly... Читать дальше...

People in power will literally make up any reason to pay women less. For Jada Pinkett Smith, it was that she was already married to Will Smith, and since he's a huge movie star, why would she ever need pay parity? "Oh, yes. People would literally say, well, you don't need it. You're married to Will," Pinkett Smith told NPR's It's Been a Minute when asked about the equal pay struggles Black actresses face in Hollywood. "Yeah. I've heard that several times." Host Brittany Luse then asked if that's... Читать дальше...
