Ugh. Less than a week after the Harvey Weinstein verdict, a juror was interviewed by CBS This Morning about the sentencing and conviction process. Juror No. 9, who goes by “Drew” and withheld his last name, sat down with Gayle King on Friday to discuss the emotional toll of the trial, his experience witnessing the testimonies of Jessica Mann and Mimi Haley, and how the jury came to a unanimous verdict.
Val is great. We’d all go gay for Val. Have you ever been preemptively annoyed at something that hasn’t happened yet — only for that thing not to happen, which only leaves you more annoyed? I have, most recently around 8:35 p.m. on a weeknight during the closing credits of Inside Out 2.
To set the scene: Remember how one of the subplots of the first Inside Out was that Riley, the tween girl in whose brain much of the film takes place, was really into ice hockey?

Taylor Swift’s 1989 comes out today, and we already know at least one song on the album continues Swift’s long tradition of writing songs about her ex-boyfriends. What can history tell us about the fate of the men unlucky enough to be mentioned on a Swift track? It’s a mixed bag — the subjects of some of the nicest songs have faded into obscurity, while most of the men who’ve received her harshest barbs have stayed at the top of their fields.
It’s a lewk! We could go on and on about the theories, timelines, and questions in play during Westworld’s sophomore season, but if you’re in search of answers, don’t forget to look at your screen — specifically, at the costumes curated by seasoned designer Sharen Davis. Whether large or small, the changes made to each look are meant to say something about each character at a deeper level.
Neither a stint in an Indian ashram nor a months-long Hawaiian vacation seem to have mellowed Kanye out. In “Power,” a just-leaked new track, possibly from the forthcoming Good Ass Job, he says: “Fuck SNL and the whole cast/Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass.” But why? Is he just upset, like everyone, about Saturday Night Live’s general badness? Perhaps he’s reasonably annoyed with those lame “What’s Up With That?
As of late, one of the only people seeming to have fun on Twitter has been legendary R&B hitmaker Dionne Warwick. Back on November 14, she shadily wrote, “Did you know that the artist can see the names of the playlists you’re adding their songs to on Spotify? 👀,” piquing Twitter’s collective interest. Maybe someone was putting her music on “Hot Girl” playlists, as she tweeted ten days later, “I don’t know what a ‘hot girl’ is, but women support women in this house!
First, let us pause and and reflect on the fact that we now live in a world where the most famous pop star in the world can cut her hair and the entire public will respond, “Oh, you are copying Miley Cyrus.” Somehow, in 2013, Miley Cyrus has ownership over peroxide-blonde pixie cuts. But, anyway! Beyonce got rid of all her hair (real and fake). Gone! Vanished! How do you like her now, concert fan?
From the earliest demos we’ve heard, Jay Electronica was insistent that he had been anointed for greatness — which is what made it so curious when all that ambition seemed, for the near decade when he was nearly invisible, to dissolve into thin air. When he first emerged from the depths of the internet, Jay Electronica seemed to be a project about ambition. The enigmatic New Orleans rapper’s origin story, as told in a little late-2000s sketch called “Departure,” takes place in the aftermath of a friend’s murder.
