Boulder is the lesbian parenting novel you didn’t know you needed. But oh, you do. Even though no one dies in the end – not even the baby, unfortunately – this slim novella is more than worth the time it takes to read it. Eva Baltasar’s unorthodox approach to the topic will be appreciated by

Like everyone else, I listened to nothing but David Bowie in the days after hearing the news. The night Bowie died, I had felt a disturbance in the Force at 3:00 am, saw the news via text, got out of bed, bereft, and put on Station to Station, knowing that no way in hell I

For years it seems we’ve heard the story of Pamela Anderson. Blonde bombshell hair. Thorn arm cuff tattoo. Red bathing suit. Sex tape with Tommy Lee. After incessant labeling of Pamela as a sex symbol and clamoring to see private videos that were sold online as blackmail, maybe the public got it wrong. With the

arduous hours of acceptance speeches and praise for what felt like the same three movies and shows. If you didn’t get to see the entire awards ceremony, don’t worry. I sure did. Let me catch you up. For starters: Austin Butler. No surprise here, Butler won best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture for Elvis.

Another year, another ‘it’ brand. To me, eras are defined by their fashions. And fashion is dictated by the brands that dominate our feeds. In the age of microtrends and vintage fashion, a brand has to be truly standout to capture our attention. We all remember when brands like I.AM.GIA and Realisation clogged our feeds

Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, Spare, was accidentally leaked a week early in Spain.

As if I couldn’t love Hailey Bieber more, she goes and gets even more iconic. Hailey Bieber just appeared in an instantly viral outfit: jeans, loafers, and a white tee that’s completely blank except for the words “nepo baby.” Known for her Gen-Z-adored street style, this is not the first time Bieber has had an

SabaFew Good Things(Saba Pivot, LLC) A highlight of this year’s hip-hop releases, Saba‘s Few Good Things is a brilliant conscious rap album, one bursting at the seams with character and soul. The Chicago native’s third full-length is the most full-bodied work of his career thus far, jam-packed full of ideas and invention. Few Good Things‘ colorful, pathos-leaden ambition has

Before this past Saturday, I never labeled myself a die-hard EDM fan – Not sure I’d call myself one even now. Still, without a doubt, I’m grateful I was introduced to Moore Kismet and the other awesome DJs featured during the show at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Let’s just say Moore knows how to

Pity the person asking what White Noise, Noah Baumbach’s messy yet fun adaptation of Don DeLillo’s 1984 novel of comic catastrophe and looming portents, is about. The response may take time to compose, arrive in paragraph form, involve contemplative gazing, and include the phrase “it’s about … America.” Such an answer may drive the potential

2022 has been a breakout year for Ceara Cavalieri. She released a trio of singles, including “Liar Liar,” which appeared on the popular Spotify playlist SALT. Her pop-punk sound has evolved far past the Ariana Grande-esque single “Damn” back in 2020. Sonically and aesthetically, the UCLA grad stays true to her Southern California roots. She

Jazz —or whatever term you prefer for this glorious music born of the creative brilliance of Black American culture, now wonderfully global—is passionately alive in 2022. In creating a “best of the year” list, I could have made several valid lists. I might have focused only on music that has a legitimate connection to popular

Paramore are back, and so is their breakout hit “Misery Business.” Back in 2018, at the end of their touring prior to announcing their hiatus, Hayley Williams had commented that they intended to “move away” from the track for a little while, adding that they’d be removing it from live shows “for a really long

Taylor Swift is entering her Midnights era! The hit-maker has an album’s worth of new material dropping in October. The “Blank Space” superstar teased a major announcement during a surprise appearance at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, during which she urged fans to prepare for more news at midnight (Aug. 29). Once the clock struck midnight, her official

Why were Måneskin censored at the VMAs? Viewers and fans were confused why the group’s performance of “Supermodel” appeared to be censored at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night (Aug. 28).

Avril Lavigne was at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards to crown Dove Cameron as this year’s Best New Artist Sunday (Aug. 28). It was a fitting passing of the torch during last night’s star-studded awards show — 20 years ago the “Complicated” icon was in the same place as Cameron when she accepted the award

Even AI celebrities can get canceled! Heralded as the first AI artist signed to a major label, virtual rapper FN Meka made headlines when he was signed — and promptly dropped — by Capitol Records.

It was the summer of 1993: Neon scrunchies were in fashion, the movie theaters were packed with moviegoers eager to watch Jurassic Park and we were shaking our hips to the smash hit song “Macarena” at every party. It was a simpler, more innocent time — well, maybe not that innocent, as Britney Spears would
